Chapter 6 Meal Delivery with Love
Ding Dang stood on tiptoes and rushed through the crowd and waved to her.
"Ah! Thermos bucket? Is it so formal? Let me see what you cooked!"
Dingdang, who was holding her thermos bucket one second, changed his expression the next second.
The sound of an ambulance came from behind.
She arranged the mask casually, "Sorry, sister, Shenwai is on the fourth floor, you have to go there by yourself."
"Sickness..."
Before Xu Jiayu could speak, Ding Dang's figure had disappeared into the crowd.
Xu Jiayu sighed, turned to look at the building behind him, gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the elevator.
"Hello, which clinic is Director Lin Mochen in?"
"Registration information."
The nurse at the medical desk didn't even raise her head.
"I am not a patient, I am..."
Xu Jiayu pursed her lips. The words "Lin Mochen's wife" seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't say them out.
However, the nurse at the medical guidance desk raised her head and looked at Xu Jiayu back and forth over her glasses, showing a knowing expression.
"Little girl, your last name is yours."
"Xu...Xu Jiayu, it was the head nurse Ding from the emergency department who asked me to come here."
The nurse nodded, dialed the phone and said a few words, then stood up with unusual enthusiasm, "Come on, come on, I'll take you there."
"Director Lin is very busy, he is kind, he only cares about his patients, and he just treats other people..."
"Oops! Anyway, I haven't seen you proactive little girls for quite some time! Doctors only deal with patients, and they have very narrow choices in choosing a mate. As long as they take the initiative, doctors are easy to chase..."
The nurse sister seems to be very experienced.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mochen's voice was heard coming from the clinic room.
"There is an emergency operation in operating room 5. Ask Tong Lu to come over quickly."
"Patient male, 54 years old..."
Xu Jiayu was not prepared at all, so Lin Mochen led two people in white coats and walked past her.
He obviously glanced at her, but he didn't stop. Just like a gust of wind, he came and went without a trace and disappeared.
Xu Jiayu: "..."
The nurse smiled awkwardly, "Originally, I saw that there were no more patients, so I wanted Director Lin to have a warm meal, but who would have thought that I would have to catch up with an emergency surgery again.
"Look, Director Lin is really busy. Why don't you leave your things and you can rest assured that I will deliver them to you."
Xu Jiayu held the handle of the thermos bucket tightly, remained silent for a while and shook his head.
"No, I'm fine anyway, just wait here. How long will it take for the operation to be completed?"
*
Xu Jiayu was woken up by Lin Mochen at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Lin Mochen poured a glass of water and put it in front of her, still looking at the case in his hand. When he saw that she was silent, he raised his head and his eyes fell on the thermos bucket.
"Is someone in your family sick?"
"No! No!"
For some reason, Lin Mochen seemed to be a different person in front of her. The cold and distant temperament about him seemed to be back to when he sent her home yesterday, making her subconsciously want to retreat.
"Then what are you..."
Lin Mochen closed the case in his hand, crossed his arms and looked at her.
Xu Jiayu was stunned and quickly pushed the thermos bucket in front of Lin Mochen.
"I sent you a message yesterday but you didn't reply. But... no matter what, you helped me a lot. I can't help but return this favor."
"I heard Ding Dang said that you were busy all day and had no time to eat, so I made it when I had some free time. I remember that you seemed to like red pork and curry potatoes when you were a child, so I made a few dishes at random."
"So, you came all the way and waited for so long just to deliver food to me?"
Xu Jiayu nodded cautiously.
"Thank you for helping me."
Lin Mochen pinched his eyebrows subconsciously. "Don't do this again."
Xu Jiayu swallowed, saw Lin Mochen's frown, and remembered what the nurse said just now.
She is really embarrassing. Lin Mochen clearly hates her so much. Wasn't his attitude in replying to WeChat yesterday obvious enough? She must be crazy to return the favor!
Grievances came to my mind inexplicably, and my nose became sore.
"Sorry, it was me who caused trouble for you. I won't do it again. I'm sorry for coming so unexpectedly and causing trouble for you."
She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Lin Mochen again, and ran straight out of the office.
Lin Mochen frowned and stared at the braised pork in the thermos bucket in front of him for a long time without regaining consciousness.
"Dad! Didn't you add old wine and red dates to the braised pork? This meat is not sweet enough!"
Xu Boyuan leaned out from the kitchen with an apron hanging on his body and a smile on his face. He looked past Xiao Jiayu and looked at Xiao Mochen behind him and nodded.
"Xiao Chen doesn't like to eat anything too sweet, so you gave up the braised pork to Xiao Chen, and dad made you Coke chicken wings!"
Xiao Jiayu gave Xiao Mochen a vicious look, "Humph! It's all your fault! You are obviously older than me, but I have to accommodate you in everything!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Oh! What did Nannan say about strangers? Xiaochen is one year and three months older than you, and you are the same age! Are you okay?"
Lin Mochen remembers clearly that when he first entered elementary school, he was sent to H City by his grandfather. Xu Jiayu was his deskmate and neighbor.
Uncle Xu is a very nice person, a good cook, and the leader of the archaeological team.
Xu Jiayu's mother is a kindergarten teacher. She is fair and can play the piano. Every time she talks to him, she squats in front of him and looks into his eyes, with a very gentle voice.
God knows how much he envied Xu Jiayu at that time.
Looking back now, during those years when he was eating at the Xu family, braised pork was his favorite flavor.
When he grew up, he was admitted to the Military Medical University in City S, and his taste became more and more sweet. He had indeed not eaten the northern version of braised pork for a long time.
Xu Jiayu still cooks the northern flavors he loves in his memory.
"Hey! Director Lin! Someone actually brought you food today? I was worried that you had no food and were hungry! That girl just now was so beautiful? Did she take the initiative to pursue you again?"
"Oh! Our Director Xiao Lin is a young talent who just wants to be liked by little girls!"
Lin Mochen stood up subconsciously after hearing this, picked up the thermos box and took two or three steps to the trash can to pour it down.
"Does Director Liu think I'm 'poor' for not having enough to eat?"
Director Liu, who was joking, saw this and walked away with his lips curled up.
Xu Jiayu's red eyes just flashed through Lin Mochen's head.
With the braised pork and curry potatoes in his hands, the aroma of meat and curry were intertwined, and Wu Zang Temple, who was already hungry, made a strong protest.
I don't know how long it took before Lin Mochen came back to his senses, put the dishes in his hands back to their original positions, and started eating them one bite at a time.
I don’t know what brand of insulation bucket Xu Jiayu used. The insulation effect is excellent, and the egg soup at the bottom is still piping hot.
He ate this meal thoroughly.
Until I finished working overtime at night, my stomach didn't growl at all.
"Oops! Xiaolin is back? Are you working overtime again so late? It's raining heavily outside and you don't have an umbrella? Oh! Be careful of catching a cold!"
The biggest feeling of living in an old house is that he often meets acquaintances of his parents. The elderly people are caring and warm, but they always give him the illusion that his parents are still alive.
"Ding dong——"
The elevator door opens.
The woman's eyes widened slightly when she looked at him, then she wiped away the tears on her face in a panic and got off the elevator with her suitcase.
Xu Jiayu didn't even look at him.
Until the elevator closed, she still stared blankly ahead.
The elevator door slammed shut.
"Ding dong——"
Just when the elevator door was about to close, Lin Mochen pressed the door-open button.
"Xu Jiayu, where are you going so late?"
