Chapter 18 Proving one’s innocence
Xu Jiayu never dreamed that she would see the word "embarrassment" on Lin Mochen's face. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her laughter, so she let Lin Mochen hold her hand and walk to the underground garage.
"Dr. Lin regrets it? It seems that making the relationship public is not as easy as imagined."
"No, as long as those women don't disturb my work in the future."
She shook her head with emotion, "You are the person who loves working the most in my life! You work with all your life! But then again, Dr. Lin proposed a flash marriage just to avoid the entanglement of the dean's daughter?"
"I wonder if Dr. Lin still remembers that a doctor said, 'Only the weak can prove their innocence', and I wonder if the doctor's behavior today is a 'self-proven innocence'?"
Lin Mochen squinted his eyes and looked at her without saying anything. It took him a long time to take out the car keys.
Xu Jiayu smiled and took the car keys, "Just kidding! Just kidding! Dr. Lin worked hard all day and night, let me do the driving for you!"
Lin Mochen raised his eyebrows. Xu Jiayu had already gotten into the cab. He put his elbows on the window sill and raised his chin at him, "Doctor Lin, get in the car quickly. I'm a skilled worker!"
The job of a curator sounds high-end, but it is not an easy profession to enter, especially for Xu Jiayu, who was neither famous nor well-connected at that time.
After graduating with a master's degree, she worked in a well-known art museum in City S through the introduction of her mentor. The teacher was a top curator in the country, and he held multiple positions and also served as a professor in a university. Adhering to an attitude of learning, Xu Jiayu accepted her first job - art management, responsible for the storage, transportation and maintenance of the collection of art.
Although the situation is different from what he imagined, it is still a big step towards his dream, and Xu Jiayu is happy with it.
Unexpectedly, the first difficulty she faced was not knowing the way. To this end, she spent a week memorizing all the main roads in S City. From being a road addict to what her master called a "living map", she knew many places better than the locals.
Seeing those brothers and sisters who had entered the school earlier than her still serving tea and water, picking up and dropping off children for teachers, she was glad that she had escaped the fate of being an "artistic migrant worker" when she first entered the school. Later she realized that that was just the beginning.
Looking back now, I was really stubborn back then.
"After the car starts, just click on the navigation button to go home." Lin Mochen said, peeling off a piece of candy and putting it in his mouth.
"Eating too much sugar can cause tooth decay."
"Replenish physical strength."
Xu Jiayu was stunned. There were two surgeries in one night, ward rounds and outpatient clinics in the morning, and something like that happened again after two bites of food. Lin Mochen should have eaten sugar to avoid hypoglycemia.
"Don't worry, the maximum is 5 pills per day. Go back quickly. Or are you feeling guilty because you can't read the map?"
"Dr. Lin, who are you looking down on? People can change!"
Instead of the expected choking, there was the man's slight snoring.
Lin Mochen fell asleep.
It's still the kind of deep sleep that's close to a coma.
The outline of the man in front of me can vaguely be seen as he was back then, but the little boy who kept saying that he hated doctors the most has now succeeded his parents and become an excellent doctor.
I heard from Li Shuhe that he took the college entrance examination after only one year of high school, and passed the entrance examination of the Military Medical University in one attempt.
She really couldn't associate such an outstanding man with the little boy who only slept in class.
What did Lin Mochen experience in those years after leaving H City?
Life in a small town is completely opposite to that in a big city, because many people in small cities choose to go home for a lunch break after get off work in the morning, so that they can have a good meal and take a nap.
The midday rush hour, which is uncommon in big cities, is more common in small towns.
Xu Jiayu was stuck in traffic for a while before returning to No. 18, Changqing Road. However, Lin Mochen was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up. The two of them left in a hurry, and the thermos bucket was left in Lin Mochen's office without being brought back. Xu Jiayu had not eaten anything for lunch, so he simply sat in the car and ordered takeout, preparing to make a hot pot meal in the evening to satisfy his craving.
When she has time in S City, she will also buy some vegetables and cook hot pot for herself. One pot, one person and one movie is a rare leisure time.
The man beside him moved. Xu Jiayu thought Lin Mochen had woken up. When he turned around, he realized that the afternoon sun was too dazzling and Lin Mochen had already put his head on the back seat of the car.
She simply got out of the car and walked to the passenger seat to block the sun for the man.
Gradually, the man's frown finally relaxed. Xu Jiayu curled his mouth and lowered his head to scroll through his phone.
"Oh! Guifang! Is that your Jiayu?"
"Oh! Did I say we had sex while standing in the sun? Love is protecting Xiao Lin from the sun, young man! It's romantic! Old Xu can feel at ease seeing that the young couple have such a good relationship!"
He Guifang sneered, "Who says it's not the case? If I had known that the young couple were childhood sweethearts, I wouldn't have licked my face and asked for help. Now it's better! It makes me two-faced. You don't know! Xiao Zhang's mother has been Ignore me! Am I upset at school?”
"Oh! It's great that the young couple is happy! We watched Xiaolin grow up, and his character is much better than that of the Zhang family! If you can find such a son-in-law, you have to burn incense to fulfill your wish!"
< br>
"Repay! You must go!" He Guifang took the arm of the aunt next to her, "Jiayu, my mother has gone to work. You can take Xiaolin home for dinner when you have time."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Oh! What does it mean to be free? The distance between upstairs and downstairs means that the young couple won't go home for dinner?"
"You know, Jiayu is also sensible, unlike the little one in my family who always makes trouble for me."
"So you are lucky! By the way, your house..."
The laughter of the two people came from a distance, and Xu Jiayu's face turned red with anger.
He Guifang is this kind of person. She never says anything directly. After saying these two sentences, she will probably end up with a reputation of being unfilial.
She has not been back for eleven years since the winter vacation when she was nineteen years old. He Guifang has never done anything to her. Why should she rush to be filial to He Guifang?
When she first came back, many neighbor aunts saw her and tried to persuade her, saying that He Guifang was Xu Boyuan's wife. As children, you should respect, bless, and be filial. No matter how bad He Guifang was, she would die for Xu Boyuan, not to mention that she had a wife. Half brother.
She had also argued that it was a pity that these people had firmly joined He Guifang's camp.
Xu Jiayu's eyes fell on the marble steps in front of the waiting hall. Sure enough, there is nothing after death.
Who still remembers the gentle and beautiful Teacher Meng?
"Xu Jiayu, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Mochen's voice interrupted Xu Jiayu's thoughts.
"No...nothing? Are you awake? I ordered the food and it will be delivered shortly. How about we have hot pot tonight?"
The face of the woman in front of her was slightly red, and her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. It looked like she had been standing in the sun for a long time.
"As long as you like it."
"Do you still like tomato pot?
Lin Mochen just got out of the car and glanced down at her. Xu Jiayu pursed his lips coquettishly, "In addition to the tomato pot, I also bought a butter pot bottom. If you don't like it, you can also eat spicy ones. Anyway, your electric hot pot is Yuanyang’s.”
"Dr. Lin, did you know? Eating something spicy can relieve anxiety when you are in a bad mood!"
