Chapter 19 Out of Control
"'Spicy' is a feeling of pain, and what you call anxiety relief is actually caused by the endorphins secreted by the brain to block pain. In addition to eating spicy food, there are seven ways to produce endorphins, including exercise, Laugh, listen to music, acupuncture, dance, meditate..."
Lin Mochen was serious about popularizing science, but suddenly paused for no reason, "...I would rather choose several other ways than eating spicy food."
As he spoke, he locked the car door and walked straight into the waiting hall.
"Exercise, laugh..." Xu Jiayu counted one by one with his fingers, "Including eating spicy food, there are only seven, what is the other one?"
The two entered the elevator hall together, but Lin Mochen did not answer her question.
The work of a curator requires communication and cooperation with various professionals, including many "personalized" and "difficult" artists. Xu Jiayu has long been skilled in dealing with all kinds of people. Faced with Lin Mochen's indifference, she habitually relaxed atmosphere.
The main thing is not to let the words fall to the ground.
"Dr. Lin, do you still remember the first time you came to my house to eat hot pot? My mother and I went to serve the food. When we came back, we saw you standing on tiptoes and using chopsticks to scoop up the tomatoes from the bottom of the pot and eat them! At that time, you were just It’s so high!” Xu Jiayu said and gestured, “It’s probably right here.”
"Xu Jiayu, why do you remember this kind of thing so clearly?" Lin Mochen frowned and looked at her.
Sensing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Xu Jiayu blinked, "What? Dr. Lin, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to laugh at you for eating hot pot for the first time when you were six or seven years old, nor did I mean to say it to embarrass you. Just mentioning eating hot pot makes me think of it, not just the fire! Pot, and you obviously like sweet things but don’t like sweet braised pork. You wash your hands many times a day because of your love for cleanliness. You hate carousels and pirate ships, and you cry when you sit on them! Hate milk, cookies and bread! ”
"Huh? But you often eat sandwiches now!"
"Enough!"
Xu Jiayu was shocked when Lin Mochen suddenly lost his temper. This was the first time she had seen Lin Mochen's mood fluctuate so much since their reunion.
"Ding dong——"
When the elevator door opened, Lin Mochen's two long legs stepped out of the elevator first. With a "dong" sound, she was shut out of the door and even the door was locked.
"Hey! Lin Mochen! You are going too far. Why are you angry? Now that you are older, can you stop being as inexplicable as when you were a child?"
Lin Mochen didn't know why he was like this. He knew very well that those things in the past were just his illusions and were Xu Jiayu's pity for him.
But ever since he met Xu Jiayu in the hospital, his life began to spiral out of control step by step.
Seeing Xu Jiayu being bullied by Zhang Yuze, he just wanted to see how Xu Jiayu was frustrated, but why did he feel inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw her being wronged?
Seeing Xu Jiayu sitting in the small garden and sighing, he just wanted to go over and ridicule a few words, but why did his heart finally drop when he heard that she didn't love Zhang Yuze?
Not to mention a flash wedding!
When he learned that he needed to get married, he blurted it out without even thinking about it.
After the operation, he obviously just wanted to go home and sleep, but why was he inexplicably worried that Xu Jiayu would be bullied when he passed by Century Xinhua Hotel?
Why could he wait to see her after hearing that Uncle Xu had passed away?
On such a hot day, she actually thought of standing in the sun and shielding him from the sun! Also asked him if he would eat tomato pot?
Was she feeling pity for him again?
He is obviously strong enough, but why does his heart lose control when he sees Xu Jiayu?
And Xu Jiayu would only talk to him with wide eyes and a smile?
Even if his attitude is so cold?
Lin Mochen took a deep breath and covered his chest. Lo and behold, his heart went out of control again.
"Lin Mochen...are you even going to abandon me?" A woman's whimpering sound came from outside the door. Lin Mochen was stunned and subconsciously opened the door.
Xu Jiayu hugged his knees and raised his head in surprise, tears gushing out like broken pearls, one after another, falling silently.
As if she suddenly reacted, she turned her head and wiped her tears in a panic. When she looked at him again, her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress the grief in her heart.
"Sorry! It's my fault, I didn't control my emotions well."
Seeing Xu Jiayu crying, Lin Mochen panicked. He apologized without thinking, but met Xu Jiayu's questioning eyes.
"So, why are you angry? Is it that you don't like to hear me mention the past, or that you... don't like to eat tomato hot pot?"
Xu Jiayu stared at him, and when he saw that he was silent, the emotions that had finally calmed down returned again. Lin Mochen clearly saw that the woman's eyes were getting redder and redder, and even shed tears again.
"No! That's not what I meant, it's just... I'm just not used to it yet." I'm not used to you coming back to me again.
Of course, Lin Mochen didn't say the last sentence.
Xu Jiayu took a deep breath, "I thought it was me who made you unhappy, and you would be as inexplicable as you were when you were a child..."
Before he finished speaking, the elevator dinged, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The delivery man looked at the stern-faced man in front of the door and the woman who was about to burst into tears. The man's hand stopped in mid-air, and the woman looked up at the man.
Almost instantly, the delivery man rushed to the woman's side like crazy and stood in front of her.
"Oh! This gentleman, a gentleman should talk but not his words! Oh no! A gentleman should talk but not his hands! No matter what happens to this lady, you can't hit a woman! If you hit someone, I will call the police now!"
The delivery man pushed up his glasses and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid! I'm here so you won't be afraid!" The uncle said to himself and took out his cell phone, "Oh! The world is getting worse. You can meet anyone delivering takeout these days. Damn it! You can do something to such a beautiful girl! How can you take advantage of such a tall and strong man? "
Xu Jiayu saw the expression on Lin Mochen's face change from surprise to absurdity, and the next second he saw him approaching the takeaway uncle step by step.
Although the takeaway uncle was aggressive, he was much shorter than Lin Mo. Lin Mochen, who had a strong figure and walked over with no expression on his face, gave him a somewhat terrifying sense of oppression. Even Xu Jiayu didn't react for a while.
Suddenly, the man's strong arms pulled her to his side, and then he blocked her behind him calmly, "Sorry! This is a private matter between my wife and I, but I still want to thank you."
The takeaway uncle was stunned and stepped forward to look at Xu Jiayu who was blocked by Lin Mochen behind him. "Little girl! Don't be afraid. If he bullies you, Uncle Yao will call the police for you."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Mochen had already closed the door.
“It should be said that today’s takeaway guys are quite warm-hearted.”
Xu Jiayu twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.
Lin Mochen put the dishes on the island table, "I'm going to change clothes and then put away the dishes. Can you adjust the flavor of the base?"
