Chapter 24 The stars are bright tonight
Xu Jiayu breathed a long sigh of relief, took his cell phone and sent Lin Mochen a message.
"Thank you Dr. Lin."
"No need."
Almost instantly she received Lin Mochen's reply.
After staying up all day and all night, you still have the energy to look at your phone so late? Do doctors sleep so little?
By some strange coincidence, she knocked on Lin Mochen's door.
This time the man was wearing silver-gray silk pajamas, standing at the door with his arms folded, frowning habitually, and pushing up the frames of his glasses with his thumb and index finger.
"What? Is there something you don't understand about the route map?" The lights were still on in the study behind him, and the bed was neat and tidy, with no sign of anyone having been lying on it.
"No, it's clear."
"Then you are coming here now?" Lin Mochen narrowed his eyes.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to come over and thank you, whether it was before or now. Also, the stars are very bright tonight. It's very late, Dr. Lin should go to bed early."
"Wait."
"Dr. Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Mochen looked at the woman in front of him, paused, and then spoke, "I read a sentence a long time ago that said that humans are the juvenile bodies of ghosts, and death is the rite of passage for ghosts, so essentially we are all 'pre-made ghosts' , Death is also another transformation of life form. Perhaps death is not the end, but the beginning of another new life.”
"'Prefabricated ghost'? The kind that's similar to 'prefabricated dishes'?" Xu Jiayu understood that Lin Mochen wanted to comfort her, but she was not used to showing her emotions in front of others, so she started to fight, "What the hell?" I didn’t expect Dr. Lin to be quite superstitious.”
"Medicine is science, and doctors are staunch atheists."
Lin Mochen pushed up his glasses and said seriously.
Recalling the wooden sign in his room that said "Handover on time", Xu Jiayu chuckled, "Then I hope Dr. Lin can hand over the shift on time every day, good night."
The man was stunned on the spot, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but Xu Jiayu smiled.
"Dr. Lin, good night."
It was almost one o'clock in the morning. Xu Jiayu looked at the notebook that fell on the ground, took a deep breath, and stuffed the notebook into the bedside table together with Ms. Meng's belongings.
There were many things she couldn't figure out in the explanation script sent by Uncle Qin, and she couldn't find the information online. Xu Jiayu set the alarm clock and prepared to go to the city library tomorrow to check the information.
After all, since you have decided to make a decision, you must do your best. How can you explain it to others if you don’t know it yourself?
A dreamless night.
The alarm clock pointed to seven o'clock, waking Xu Jiayu on time. To her surprise, Lin Mochen was no longer at home.
The job of a doctor is really hard.
The Municipal Library is located in the center of H. She went there many times with Xu Boyuan before going to college. Unexpectedly, ten years later, the library has not changed at all.
"Sorry, it's closing time now and not open to the public."
The guard raised his hand to block Xu Jiayu's progress. Xu Jiayu was stunned, "Isn't today Monday?"
"Yes, the museum is closed for half a day on Monday morning." The uncle pointed to the notice board at the door, "This is an old rule for many years."
Adhering to the mentality that waking up early in the morning should not be in vain, she turned on her mobile phone and searched for nearby bookstores.
"Uncle, do you know if there are any bookstores nearby, which are more comprehensive? I'm anxious to check the information." The uncle kept talking, "Hey! With the technology being so advanced now, what information is not available on the Internet! Let's check online. .”
"I came here because there was nothing online. I didn't expect to get up so early that I couldn't catch the show. Thank you!"
"Ouch! You're welcome, you're welcome! By the way! Little girl, if you really want to look up information, go to H University! The university library has more information than our library!"
H University is the only comprehensive university in H City. When Xu Boyuan and Ms. Meng first took the college entrance examination, they wanted her to apply for the Art School of H University.
However, Xu Jiayu, who was brainwashed by various urban dramas in his adolescence, was filled with the neon lights of the metropolis.
She fantasizes that she can become an urban beauty wearing an exquisite suit and high heels, walking in the CBD with high-rise buildings. She only wants to go to the big city to see the world, but she has never considered this very good university at her doorstep.
It's supposed to be summer vacation soon, but there are quite a few groups of students on campus. Some were beaming and telling interesting stories, some were snickering and sharing little secrets. The sounds of laughter and conversation were intertwined, and the unique atmosphere of youth came to our faces.
The main door of H is directly facing the library, but Xu Jiayu walked to the playground on the side of the library by accident.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of boys and girls were dressed in academic uniforms, holding cameras, with youthful and reluctant smiles. It was the truest look of youth, and it was also a past that Xu Jiayu could never return to.
Xu Jiayu's four years at university were not easy. After she had a falling out with Xu Boyuan during the winter vacation of her freshman year, she changed her phone number and bank card, refused Xu Boyuan's money, and started working part-time.
When I was eighteen years old, all my innocent imagination was drowned out by heavy schoolwork and part-time work.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Looking back now, she didn't even get to sit on the playground and look at those young figures sweating wantonly.
"Professor Lin, please don't refuse, our classmates are waiting for you! Otherwise they would have left long ago!"
"Yes! You have helped us so much. If you don't have time for graduation photos, forget it. If we are caught today, don't even think about running away."
A group of college students walked into the playground with a tall man in their arms. Among the group, there was a young man with a SLR around his neck who glanced back and forth on the playground. Finally, he landed on Xu Jiayu, and then he hurried towards her.
"Classmate! Classmate!"
The young man who ran up to her was suddenly startled. He looked at the diamond ring on her hand and rubbed his eyes, "Old...teacher? Can you take a picture for us?"
"Convenient, but...I'm not a teacher..."
Before she finished speaking, she followed the direction of the young man's finger and saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
The man was dressed in pitch black and stood out among the colorful college students.
"Lin Mochen?"
"Ah! You know our Professor Lin! That's great!"
The young man put the SLR directly into Xu Jiayu's hands and hurried towards the crowd, "We have found someone to help. Everyone, please stand up quickly."
In the camera, Lin Mochen stood upright in the crowd, with a tall and tall figure, an angular chin, and glasses that did not block his deep and lively eyes, but his expression looked really cold compared to the college students who were laughing wantonly.
"Does it look good? Are you looking so seriously?"
Xu Jiayu looked up, and Lin Mochen had walked to the opposite side at some point and was looking at her with his arms folded.
The young man who ran back to get the camera was stunned, "Professor Lin, do you know this teacher? Which department is she from? We have never seen such a beautiful teacher in five years of university."
"...beautiful teacher?"
The young man blinked and pointed to Xu Jiayu beside him, "Professor Lin, can't you see such a beautiful woman standing in front of you? But she is already married! With such a big diamond ring, your beautiful teacher husband must love you very much!" ”
