The morning passed quickly. After Liu Bo left, the two people who studied with him had time to come over to say hello to her. They were both students from the Imperial Capital University, one named Zhong Wenyan and the other named Meng Lingli.

Zhong Wenyan wore a pair of black-framed glasses, and was clean and handsome. He invited her with a friendly and enthusiastic attitude. "The hospital has a special staff restaurant, and the dishes there tasted good. Lingli and I usually go there for dinner. Do you want to go together?"

Ye Taoyao originally wanted to agree, but after noticing Meng Lingli's micro-expression, she smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, I'll be better with my friends at noon, next time."

"That's it, okay..." Zhong Wenyan sighed exaggeratedly, putting regrets and disappointments on his face, "We won't come in the afternoon, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow..." Watching the two of them out, Ye Taoyao took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, but still had no courage to dial the phone, and an ostrich sent a message.

"Du Ruo, I'm already at work and won't go back."

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the other end. She couldn't help but feel guilty. Du Ruo was angry, right? Yes, he had a reason to be angry. The sudden decision she left was so abrupt. Moreover, as a friend, she stayed in the imperial capital without telling him in advance. She had already agreed to continue her doctoral degree with him, and he should blame her for letting him go.

Until she went to the locker room to change her clothes, her cell phone didn't ring. Ye Taoyao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Du Ruo, I've broken the appointment. I hope we will meet again, and I'll still be friends."

This time, the phone rang. Ye Taoyao looked at the name on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief. When he answered it, he heard a snorkeling from the other end, "I thought I couldn't wait to even apologize. I was planning to break up with you. Anyway, five years of friendship have not had any weight in your place..."

The tone was grieving and a bit sour.

It seems that what she did this time really hurt him, "I'm sorry, Du Ruo, I didn't deliberately let you go, there is really a reason to leave, I..."

"Yaoyao, actually I'm not blaming you for breaking the promise..." Du Ruo interrupted her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Although I'm sad, I know you, you won't fight with impulsiveness, nor will you be willful and impulsive. Since I decided to stay, there is enough reason. What I blamed you is..."

Ye Taoyao felt heartbroken.

"Did you not even have the courage to tell me before you make a decision? I don't ask you to ask for my opinion, nor do you ask you to discuss it with me, but at least, don't let me know the last one."

"Du Ruo..."

"Yaoyao, is it because I don't have any place in your heart? That's why you ignore my feelings so thoroughly?" Without waiting for her to refute, he continued, "Actually, I don't want to think so. I would rather believe that you dare not tell me in advance because you are worried that I will not agree, which will affect your decision, Yaoyao, right?"

Ye Taoyao suddenly said nothing.

On the other end, Du Ruo chuckled in an unknown way, "I'll just think I guessed it right, otherwise..." He didn't say anything later, but changed the topic and naturally asked about her going to work.

Ye Taoyao responded dryly, and for the first time he felt tired of chatting with Du Ruo.

"Yaoyao, do you want us to meet again?" Du Ruo suddenly asked, "Just like before, we listen to classes together, go to the library to check information together, and intern with the tutor together?"

"Ah?" Ye Taoyao was stunned by the question.

"Do you want it?" Du Ruo's voice was gentle and beautiful like the spring wind, blowing on the willow branches, floating gently, and disturbing the pool of water by the river.

"Du Ruo, you, you don't want to..." Ye Taoyao frowned, and then his head hurts, "Don't make a fool of yourself, I have to stay in the imperial capital to work because of family affairs. Your dream is not..."

Du Ruo stopped her words and said word by word, "Yaoyao, you are not by my side, no matter how beautiful your dream is, it will have no meaning to chase."

In fact, what he wanted to say more is that you are my biggest dream in my life.

Ye Taoyao suddenly felt heavy in his heart.
