Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Since Xu Damao learned that He Yuzhu had been promoted again, his heart was like a huge rock thrown into it, stirring up waves. He lay on the bed, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He recalled that he had married Lou Xiao'e at all costs in order to get a promotion. He thought he could take this opportunity to rise to the top, but in the end, he ended up with nothing and ended up being married for the second time.

At this moment, Xu Damao felt mixed emotions, with envy of He Yuzhu's promotion and helplessness about his fate. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and his quilt was messed up.

Qin Jingru, who was standing next to him, had fallen asleep, but she gradually woke up after being tossed around by Xu Damao. She saw Xu Damao tossing and turning on the bed in a daze, and she couldn't help but frowned and asked softly, "Damo, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

Xu Damao finally had an outlet to vent his feelings when he heard Qin Jingru's voice. He turned around, looked at Qin Jingru and said:

"Jingru, I heard today that Shazhu got promoted again, and I felt mixed emotions. I'm happy for him, but I also feel a little disappointed that I'm still a small projectionist after all these years."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Qin Jingru felt a complex emotion. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Da Mao, are you jealous of Sha Zhu?"

Xu Damao was directly exposed by Qin Jingru, and a trace of embarrassment and discomfort appeared on his face. He frowned slightly, rubbed the bed sheets nervously with his hands, and tried to explain his feelings:

"I just... I'm just afraid that the gap between me and Shazhu will get bigger and bigger, and then we won't even have topics to communicate about. After all, we used to be such good buddies."

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao's tangled expression and interrupted him impatiently: "Come on, Damao, what's the point of always being afraid of this and that? If you really want to know what Shazhu thinks, you might as well go and talk to him directly. After all, you have such a good relationship, he won't blame you."

When Xu Damao heard Qin Jingru's suggestion, a hint of hesitation and expectation flashed in his eyes. He raised his head, looked into Qin Jingru's eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Really? Can I really go and talk to him directly?"

Qin Jingru nodded and said firmly: "It's true, more real than pearls. Stop thinking about it and go to bed early." After that, she ignored Xu Damao, lay down on her side and closed her eyes.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru's back, made up his mind, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, then lay down, closed his eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

......

The next day, Xu Damao left the courtyard early, deliberately avoided the crowd, and hurried to the steel mill. He stood at the door of He Yuzhu's office, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, and looking around from time to time, for fear of being seen.

Not long after, He Yuzhu's figure appeared in his sight. He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao leaning against the door at a glance. He was slightly stunned, then smiled and strode over: "Damo, are you waiting for me?"

When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu coming, an awkward smile appeared on his face: "Hehehe, Silly Zhu, I... I came to talk to you." As he said that, he reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu's arm, motioning him to enter the office.

The two entered the office, He Yuzhu closed the door, turned around and looked at Xu Damao: "There is no one here now, you can talk."

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to approach He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "Shazhu, am I your best brother?"

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed and scolded: "If you and I are not best brothers, then who is? What's wrong with you today? Why are you asking like that?" As he said that, he reached out and patted Xu Damao's shoulder lightly.

After hearing He Yuzhu's answer, Xu Damao's nervousness eased a little. He chuckled and continued, "That's good, that's good. In fact, I came to you today because I wanted to talk to you about my worries."

He Yuzhu noticed that Xu Damao was a little abnormal. He pulled Xu Damao to sit down and asked with concern: "What's going on? You look a little abnormal today."

Xu Damao sighed and finally spoke his mind: "Shazhu, do you know? Ever since you got promoted, I have been feeling very upset. I feel that the gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes I don't even know how to chat with you."

He Yuzhu was moved when he heard what Xu Damao said. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Xu Damao and began to look at him.
