Under this circumstance, it seemed a little awkward to meet his wife. Fortunately, Boss Zhou had always been thick-skinned, and this matter really had nothing to do with him. Even Xiao Lu was helping him explain to Dr. Lin, as if he was afraid that this would damage his family relationships.
Doctor Lin just maintained a polite and reserved smile.
Responded calmly:
"I believe him."
After signing and completing the formalities, and being reminded again not to leave Tongcheng in the near future, Boss Zhou and Dr. Lin took the elevator and left the apartment.
After walking out, the evening breeze made him feel more comfortable and awake. Boss Zhou lit a cigarette and said:
"I'm sorry to ask you to come out so late at night. You should go back and have some rest."
As for the divorce agreement, Boss Zhou didn't ruin the mood by bringing it up again at this time.
"You didn't drive here? I'll take you back."
"No need, I'll take a taxi."
"Do you have to be so polite?"
"All right."
Zhou Ze got into Dr. Lin's car, leaned back on the leather seat, and sighed:
"Change the car again?"
Sometimes, Zhou Ze also thought that if he was simply reborn as an ordinary person, without the sister-in-law and the ghost messenger, just like those rebirth novels in his bookstore, it seems that life would be quite comfortable.
A son-in-law is a son-in-law,
My father-in-law is rich and his wife is beautiful.
Tsk tsk,
Tsk tsk,
In reality, many people look down on men who live off their wives. This is the same as how many people hate corrupt officials, except that they hate themselves.
But there is no such thing as "but" in life. The accidents that happened one after another during that period completely changed the course of the process. In addition, I later slipped into the terrible vortex of "who cheated on whom and who was cheated on by whom" and tried my best to commit suicide.
Turn your head sideways.
Boss Zhou looked at Dr. Lin who was driving.
Then the eyes began to move downward naturally.
oh,
Damn those jeans!
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Dr. Lin's mouth.
As the car passed by the night market stall, Dr. Lin asked:
"Want some midnight snack?"
"good."
They pulled over, parked the car, and walked into a small restaurant.
Zhou Ze ordered a bowl of casserole rice noodles, while Dr. Lin had a bowl of wontons.
Two people sat face to face, neither of them was playing with their cell phones, but neither of them was chatting. They occasionally looked at each other, then looked away without any emotion.
After the food is served,
Both of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating seriously.
After eating half of the meal, Dr. Lin took the lead in breaking the atmosphere and asked:
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Um."
"How about you, how are you doing lately?"
"Good."
"Um."
The brief conversation successfully made the original awkward situation even more awkward.
"Just treat us as friends." Dr. Lin took a sip of soup with a spoon and said with a smile.
"Yeah, okay."
After eating, they walked out of the store and got into the car again.
Doctor Lin started the car. The bookstore was still more than ten minutes away.
Boss Zhou sat in the passenger seat, lit a cigarette, then turned his head to look at Dr. Lin's reaction. Seeing that she didn't frown or show displeasure, he continued smoking.
The car stopped at the traffic light ahead.
Zhou Ze stretched his hand outside and shook off the cigarette ash.
Suddenly asked:
"By the way, let me ask you a question."
"Just ask."
"About Xu Le."
Doctor Lin took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Okay."
"Xu Le, have you ever done... sperm donation or cryopreservation before?"
Doctor Lin was silent.
The red light turns green.
The car still didn't move.
Fortunately, this road is very deserted at night and there are no cars behind us.
a long time,
Doctor Lin turned to look at Zhou Ze in surprise:
"have."
… … …
The car did not drive towards the bookstore, but turned around. Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot of the affiliated hospital.
After getting off the car,
Zhou Ze looked up.
Looking at the hospital building in front of me,
In fact, I haven’t been to the hospital very often in the past two years, and I have basically not been there recently. I don’t have any nostalgic thoughts or thoughts when I see things.
"A year ago, the reproductive department of the affiliated hospital called me and asked me whether Xu Le's sperm needed to be stored and paid for.
It was then that I learned that he had frozen his semen in the mirror bank of the affiliated hospital."
Zhou Ze didn't ask why, but just followed Dr. Lin silently into the affiliated hospital building.
After he took over Xu Le's body and resurrected himself, he discarded all of Xu Le's previous means of contact, even his social life, and replaced them with a new self.
Naturally, the hospital department couldn't contact him, but Tongcheng is so small and the doctor circle is so small. It is normal for people in the reproductive department here to contact Dr. Lin.
As for why Xu Le was so bored that he did this,
It is also easy to understand.
Because at that time, although he was married to Dr. Lin,
But Dr. Lin still slept in a separate bed from him.
In addition,
He is more timid.
People are more pessimistic.
Maybe you think it is impossible to have a child in a short period of time.
It’s better to freeze the semen in advance for later use.
Boss Zhou had been wondering where the semen at the crime scene came from;
Use the process of elimination.
Since I came back to life, I have always kept myself clean. It is impossible for me to leave anything behind outside, and it is impossible for me to have lost condoms or tissues and have them taken away by others.
As for coming to me to force my sperm,
It's even more impossible. Who the hell can do this
So, in this way, the vision becomes clear, and the only thing left can only be related to Xu Le at that time.
The technology of freezing sperm is already very mature now. It is just like keeping it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. When it is needed, you can take it out and thaw it before using it.
Of course, the freezing here does not mean putting it in the refrigerator. The refrigerator can keep food fresh but it cannot keep this fresh. Instead, it has to be placed in a special freezing equipment. A home refrigerator cannot reach this temperature.
The two took the elevator together and went to the fifth floor.
At this time, the doctor had already gone off work. There was only a nurse and an intern in the department. The man and woman were chatting and laughing, giggling from time to time.
Zhou Ze reached out and poked the scarf around his neck and said:
"Let them be charmed. I need to check something."
The white fox did not move. Instead, it lazily responded in a voice that only Zhou Ze could hear:
"Whose sexual information do you want to investigate?"
"Xu Le's."
"Who are you?"
“… …” Zhou Ze.
yes,
I am Xu Le now.
I went to check my frozen sperm records.
there,
Doctor Lin seemed to think more clearly and simply opened the door and walked in.
When Zhou Ze went in, Dr. Lin had already explained his purpose to the interns and nurses inside.
"Sorry, it's off work now. If you want to check the records, please come back tomorrow."
In the hospital, there are clear levels of hierarchy, and leaving someone on duty at night is really just a duty.
Boss Zhou reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and prepared to withdraw some cash to smooth things over.
In fact, it's just a small favor, and I'm checking my own records, so it's not a big deal.
Doctor Lin handed over her business card before Zhou Ze.
When the young doctor and nurse saw the business card, they were immediately surprised and their attitude changed drastically.
After all, the doctor circle in Tongcheng is so small, and Dr. Lin's hospital is famous for its high salary and good benefits. Things may change, and even if they have no intention of changing jobs now, they are still willing to keep a way out and make good connections.
"Okay, Dean Lin, it's okay. We are willing to help you. Wait, I'll log into the system."
The intern sat down in front of the computer and logged into the database system.
The young nurse hurried to pour some water, appearing very attentive.
Zhou Ze sighed and put the wallet back.
"Dean Lin, what is your husband's name?"
"Xu Le, happy Le."
"Okay, wait a moment. By the way, Dean Lin, are you planning to have a child in the near future?"
At this moment, the young nurse next to him reached out and poked the intern.
The intern then realized that he had asked too many questions and it might cause people's disgust. Why didn't people do the freezing in their own hospital, but came here specifically, and even came here so late at night? Wasn't it because they were worried that the news would spread
Why are you asking so many questions? You are such a jerk.
Dr. Lin kept smiling and said nothing.
"Found it. It was put into storage three years ago."
"Can you find it?" Zhou Ze asked, and then Boss Zhou added awkwardly: "I want to see it."
After I finished speaking, I felt really ashamed of my addition...
"Um, it's definitely there, but I don't have the key, so I can't open it now. This... Oops, no, there's another record here. Wait a minute."
The intern continued to search the system.
then,
After the search results come out,
He frowned.
He looked at Zhou Ze.
I looked at Dr. Lin again.
road:
"It was taken out a year and a half ago and artificial insemination was done in our hospital. And, according to the records, it was successful."
"What?"
Doctor Lin was very surprised.
This is impossible.
There was no way she could come. Besides, Xu Le had already become Zhou Ze a year and a half ago, so it was even more impossible for him to come here.
"This is what it shows." The intern scratched his head. He also realized that something must have gone wrong. It was impossible for the couple to know nothing about this. Even if they found a surrogate mother, this would not be the reaction.
"For details, we have to wait until the department directors go to work tomorrow. Then, Dean Lin, you can go and ask them in person. I have only been here for half a year."
The intern shrugged helplessly. He also knew that he seemed to have made a big mistake.
After leaving the hospital building,
Dr. Lin stopped beside the flower bed. It was obvious that she was feeling complicated.
"Let her sleep."
Zhou Ze whispered.
The white fox's tail wagged.
Doctor Lin's body shook for a while and he was picked up by Zhou Ze before he fainted.
"Your way of comforting a woman is really direct."
The white fox couldn't help but tease at this time.
"You stay and look after her and take her home."
"What about you? So, is there any surprise today?"
Zhou Ze heard this.
Smiled,
There was an undisguised coldness in his eyes.
road:
"Oh, what do you think?"
