"I don't drink Shirley...anything other than Shirley is fine..."
The guy lying on the velvet carpet was sprawled out, and Che Linwan tripped over the wine bottles on the floor several times.
She turned to look at Jiafeng standing at the door, who always maintained a plastic mold-like smile.
"Not coming in?"
Jiafeng smiled sweetly and shook her head, "I'm going to make a pot of scented tea for Dr. Che. Can it be 70% sweet?"
After saying that, he left alone.
"Uh... um, I don't drink tea..." He walked away.
And look at the back, it’s the kind that won’t come back.
The room was very dark, so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
These blackout curtains must be very expensive to cover up like this.
If it weren't for the light pouring in from the corridor at the door, she might have thought she was blind.
He fumbled to the window, stretched out his hand, and didn't touch the curtain.
It's a very hard board...
"What are you doing here?"
The smell of alcohol hit his nose, and Che Linwan wrinkled the tip of his nose.
She looked at the guy lying on the ground.
"Are you awake or talking in your sleep?"
Looking at the blurry figure in the darkness, Xia Mingzhi must have stumbled up.
She originally wanted to reach out and give him a hand, but she was afraid that she would accidentally get caught in the unfamiliar place.
"So dark..."
"You didn't open the window?"
"Open... what?!"
Xia Mingzhi gave three high-fives, and a dark blue border line suddenly appeared on the ground in the corner.
Then he walked to the head of his bed in a familiar way and clicked two twists.
The window is open!
Che Linwan looked at the visor in front of him, silently.
She had only seen such a visor in a movie, and it was an old movie from 2007, "I Am Legend" that depicts the zombie apocalypse.
"Are you photophobic?"
"No."
"Then why..."
Xia Mingzhi glanced at Che Linwan and kept gesturing at the window panels of her home.
"Laboratory Research Program."
"What?"
"It was originally planned to be used on the space station. Later it was discovered that it was not insulated."
Che Linwan was still confused, but he suppressed it.
"Why did you resign again? Who provoked you? Why did you fight with Su Zhenling? Resign after the fight? What kind of qualities do young people nowadays have... "
"You provoked me."
"Don't talk nonsense to me... what?" Che Linwan avoided the wine bottles on the ground. Those bottles looked very expensive. Some bottles still had residual alcohol in them. It seemed that they had not been finished. He couldn't help but take a look at Xia Mingzhi. , How awake is he now? Do you have violent tendencies
"Doctor Che, you provoked me. Now that you're done, you can leave."
"Hiss!" Che Linwan tried to put his hands on his waist, but he suddenly remembered that he was in someone else's home, and the task at hand was to take the intern back to work, so a pair of hands with nowhere to place were on his body. He swayed forward for a while, then put it behind his back.
"Um, are you dissatisfied with your work? Or do you have any opinions on WSTI's system? Let's talk it out. I can discuss it with the Human Resources Department. If the Human Resources Department doesn't do anything, I'll go directly to Brother De."
"Didn't you just ask me why I was fighting with Su Zhenling?"
"Well... if it's Dr. Su's relationship, he is actually the team leader. At present, our two groups are just merged."
"Why did you marry him?"
"..." The word marriage was inexplicably harsh when it came out of his mouth.
"Just for Cai Lemi's adoption procedures?"
"This is my private matter. I didn't tell you, just so that it wouldn't affect my work..."
"Are you just going to hide this from me?"
"Actually, only the HR department knows. ... Make the necessary registrations."
"Can I adopt Cai Lemi if I get married?"
Che Linwan repeated it in his mind countless times. He was very good to Xiao Lemi and he had been helping to take care of the child when she was busy. He had the right to know.
"The lawyer said that he could help me get a hospital certificate proving that I was infertile, which would increase my chances of winning."
"What about next?"
"after?"
"You don't plan to do it in the future... Have you thought it through for yourself?"
"Even if I live alone for the rest of my life, at least I can save that child now. You saw that child, that is a good child, there is no way she can survive in that kind of environment. I don't want to save everyone in the world, But I want to help that kid, just that kid."
"Su Zhenling promised you?"
"He doesn't seem to be very serious."
"Why can't it be me?"
"well?!"
"Why didn't you ask me?"
"I-what am I asking you?"
"Marry me and let me be the father of that child."
"..." Che Linwan suddenly felt that his throat was blocked. She wanted to cough twice to relieve her embarrassment.
But Xia Mingzhi looked at her straightly, which made her feel frightened.
"Am I not qualified for your options? Or is your lawyer telling you that I am not qualified?"
In this way, he is indeed not qualified. He just happens to be of the opposite sex of legal age.
And he is too young and has no independent financial resources.
"Xiao Xia, my relationship with Su Zhenling..."
"The relationship between husband and wife."
"...Yes. The relationship between husband and wife. To put it simply, it is a cooperation. When I get Lemi's adoption rights, we will dissolve this relationship peacefully. Again! This is my private matter, and I am confident that I can handle it. I understand. You have helped me many times, you treat me as your master, and I have always cared about and cherished you as a student. I don’t want you to end your internship hastily, which will not be good for your future qualifications and experience.”
"You care about and cherish me as an intern because I will bring you actual benefits, right? Just like Huang Yide. Because of me, my father opened countless backdoors to WSTI and brought a lot of project investment. Introduced a lot of resources. Dr. Che, what’s the difference between you and those egoistic managers?”
"I am not the management, I am your mentor, I am your master. I am a scientific researcher. In the words of Deputy Director Huang and Su Zhenling, I am someone who was born and grew up in an ivory tower. I don't feel ashamed, I have the qualifications to be born and grow up in an ivory tower. I know how to cherish and be grateful. You are more talented than others. Your starting point may be the end for many people. What can you be dissatisfied with?"
"It's you who I'm not satisfied with!"
"Since you entered the institute and entered my team, have I treated you badly? Have I treated you coldly? Other interns have to do clerical work in front of the computer for at least half a year before they can officially practice. The day after you came, I will take you to practice. Fuck. Whether you do well or not, I will always protect you. How can I be sorry for you, Xia Mingzhi?"
"You ignore my feelings, Dr. Che. You ignore that I am a human being, a man. You treat me as a... cold, mechanical artificial intelligence. You teach a lot, and you teach in a very rational way, but you You’ve never cared about what I think of you, right?”
Che Linwan suddenly laughed, she was really angry, "I... I still need to care about your mental health?! I am studying forensic medicine, not psychology, you are the student of the psychology department, you You should solve your own psychological problems. If you can't solve it, go to your department chair. Maybe it's my teaching method that's wrong. This is my first time teaching clinical interns. But I have come out of the ivory tower. Remember, there is never a shortage of interns in our ivory tower. I dare say that I have done much better than countless mentors... "
"Che Linwan!"
"You say it, you say it, you just say it! I am a wise mentor, and I will not force my students to shut up."
He lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
Che Linwan thought he had given up. It was because he was being unreasonable.
It didn't occur to her that she needed to talk about it for this reason.
My heart is still pounding to this day.
When thinking about Teacher's Day, you must send an e-card to your lab supervisor, and then set it to be sent regularly every year...
"Che Linwan... you didn't understand what I meant at all..."
"Then tell me, what do you mean?!"
He raised his head slightly, his smile a little pale and a little cramped.
As he approached her step by step, Che Linwan gradually panicked in his heart.
He seemed to have said something that she had been ignoring that he was a person, a man
"If you have something to say, please tell me...?"
He took a step forward, and she took a step back, until there was no way to retreat, and her lower back pressed against the window sill.
But he had no intention of stopping there.
"Che Linwan, what I mean is..."
