"There are guests at home?" Lin Hong, the boss of the Lin family, is over sixty years old. He has been fascinated by research all his life, and his interpersonal skills are almost zero.
Seeing Li Zhao's first glance, he subconsciously asked, "Brother and sister, is this your family relative?"
"Big brother, come and talk first, it's cold outside." Seeing Lin Hong's unshaven beard and messy hair, Lin Shen knew that he had just returned from the research institute.
Li Zhao didn't know who was coming, but after hearing the professor call him the eldest brother, he got up and went to the kitchen to get a new set of tableware. When he came out of the kitchen, Lin Hong was already sitting at the table, excitedly talking about the gene bank.
"The construction of the gene bank requires a lot of data and software support, and it costs a lot of money. At the beginning of this year, due to the shortage of funds, the research institute planned to stop this project." Lin Hong took the tableware brought by Li Zhao, "The result is here. At a critical time, someone donated a large amount of money to support the project to continue, and even in order to complete the project as soon as possible, he also increased investment and helped the institute to introduce several excellent assistants."
Lin Hong drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup and continued to share the good news with his younger brother: "I heard from others that this sponsor has an important friend who has been separated from his parents since he was a child and suffered a lot. He was born for this friend. Spending huge sums of money to help the project continue.”
Hearing this sentence, Li Zhao froze. For some reason, he thought of Yan Ting.
Lin Hong finished speaking in one breath, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. He doesn't choose to eat, he eats a meal and a dish, very regular.
Li Zhao thought, maybe this is the mystery of scientific research
Probably aware of Li Zhao's gaze, Lin Hong suddenly raised his head to meet his gaze: "Which relative of your brother-in-law's family are you?"
"Big brother, he is a student of Beijing University, not a relative from my mother's house." Du Yushu smiled helplessly, "After you have eaten, you will stay here tonight, and ask your assistant to pick you up tomorrow."
"Oh." Lin Hong glanced at Li Zhao more, "He looks a bit like you, I thought he was your relative."
After these words came out, Li Zhao felt that the expressions of the professor and his aunt were a little strange, both sad and helpless, and even looking at him, they were a little embarrassed.
This made Li Zhao, who originally planned to eat four bowls of rice, only eat three bowls.
After dinner, Li Zhao was going to help wash the dishes, but was stopped by Du Yushu and handed over the dirty dishes to Lin Shen: "You watch TV with Uncle Lin for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to talk to Lao Lin."
When the kitchen door was closed, Li Zhao heard the sound of running water and... faint crying.
Li Zhao was a little embarrassed, and Lin Hong, who was sitting next to him, looked a little helpless.
"I said the wrong thing again." He was a little fidgety, grabbing the sofa cushion with both hands, and the sofa cushion was wrinkled by him.
Li Zhao didn't know what to say, so he had to push the fruit plate on the table in front of Lin Hong.
After a while, the professor came out, and he smiled gently at Li Zhao: "It's snowing outside, go back to the dormitory early, be serious about the exam tomorrow, and try to get a scholarship."
"Be serious is to be serious, the scholarship is too embarrassing for me." Li Zhao pretended not to see that the atmosphere in Professor Lin's house was wrong, walked to the kitchen door, and said goodbye to Du Yushu: "Auntie, I will go back to the dormitory first."
"Be careful on the road." Du Yushu packed a bag of fruit for Li Zhao, "Take it back and share it with the classmates in the dormitory, don't stay up late at night."
Her smile was still gentle, but the corners of her eyes looked a little red.
"Okay." Li Zhao knew that he shouldn't speak, so he gave Du Yushu a big smile and left Professor Lin's house with the fruit.
The sky was dark and the snow was falling again. Li Zhao took a deep breath, only to realize that he forgot to put on his scarf, and the snow fell into his neck, causing him to shiver twice.
"Zhao Zhao, wait."
Du Yushu chased after her with the scarf, she came out in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to put on her coat.
"Auntie, it's cold outside, don't give you a cold." Li Zhao ran up to take the scarf and urged Du Yushu to go back to the house.
"Okay." Du Yushu glanced at Li Zhao, then turned and walked into the staff building with a smile. As soon as he reached the stairs, Lin Shen ran over with her coat.
"Don't wear a coat. If your fans know their goddess and don't wear a coat in the snow, they will definitely scold me for not taking good care of you." Lin Shen took his wife's shoulders and walked home, "Is it cold?"
Du Yushu shook his head.
"Yu Shu, you like Li Zhao's child so much, why don't I tell him and accept him as his godson..."
"No." Du Yushu shook his head, opened the door and walked into the house, "When Shao Shao finds out, he will think that we have forgotten him and that he will be sad if we don't like him."
Lin Shen hesitated, he closed the door gently and poured a cup of hot water for his wife: "Drink some water."
"Lao Lin, that child has a mole on the back of his neck, just like Shao Shao." Du Yushu held the cup, his voice trembling, "Every time I see him, I can't help but think, when we Shao Shao grow up, we should As good-looking as he is."
But she knew that Shao Shao's age stayed at three months old forever, and he didn't even have time to run and walk in this world.
She knew that imagining Li Zhao as her own child was disrespectful to Li Zhao, and she wanted to control herself, but she couldn't.
When Lao Lin came back and said that she met a boy on the playground who looked a little like her and had a mole on his neck, she thought it was because Lao Lin was thinking too much about the child and had hallucinations. Later, when she saw Li Zhao himself, she realized that Lao Lin did not. lie to her.
However, moles on the neck are very common. Two or three of the ten people around you may have moles on the neck, but the location or size is slightly different.
Facing Li Zhao's bright smile, she didn't even have the face to tell the child that their kindness to him and their care for him all stemmed from their empathy for their own children.
She felt ashamed, but she always wanted to look at him more.
Then he deceived himself in his heart, and when his children grow up, they must be so well-behaved and lovable.
"Second brother, younger brother and sister, you go to the gene bank to collect genetic data, maybe..."
Lin Hong wanted to say, maybe the child isn't dead yet
This kind of hope is too slim, and it is even a mental torture for Lin Shen and his wife. Even Lin Hong, who has zero emotional intelligence, can't say anything.
The room became quiet, Lin Shen embraced his wife and turned to look at the heavy snow fluttering outside the window.
He couldn't help thinking that he should have brought an umbrella for Li Zhao's child just now.
Back in the dormitory, the roommates were all reading books. Seeing Li Zhao coming back, Qian Duo said, "There are no seats in the study room. We didn't occupy a seat, so we came back."
"The other classmates left early in the morning, so it's normal that you don't have a seat." Li Zhao washed the fruit and distributed it to them, "Eat the fruit, I'll go to the toilet and make a call."
As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang, and Yan Ting's call came in first.
"Zhao Zhao." Yan Ting spoke a little faster than usual, "Did I disturb your study?"
"No, I was about to call you, so you should call me first." Li Zhao walked to the toilet and closed the toilet door, so as not to disturb the roommates' reading, "Did you have a good dinner?"
"Yes." Yan Ting turned over the report on the establishment of the gene bank handed to him by the research institute, "Zhaozhao, the relevant departments have recently established a gene bank, which has a function to help lost children and their parents compare genes, etc. Your exam is over..."
Li Zhao couldn't listen to what Yan Ting said later. He remembered that Professor Lin's eldest brother said that the gene bank project was almost stranded. In the end, because someone provided a lot of financial and technical support, the gene bank project Completed.
It turned out that this person was really Yan Ting.
"Tingting." Li Zhao felt that he suddenly missed Yan Ting very much at this moment, "I miss you."
Yan Ting's words stopped abruptly, and after a few seconds, he said, "Did you... miss them?"
Li Zhao knew that the "they" in Yan Ting's mouth was referring to his biological parents.
"No, I miss you." Li Zhao opened the window of the toilet, and the cold wind calmed him, "Tingting, in my heart, you are the most important lover and my most important relative, you have already given me a home."
Yan Ting imagined many possibilities after Li Zhao found his parents, they didn't like Zhao Zhao, or they didn't like Zhao Zhao with men, and even they were no longer in the world.
But Zhaozhao wanted to find his parents and wanted to get a home.
But he never thought that Li Zhao would tell him that he had given him a home.
The anxiety in the past, as well as the desire for monopoly that was suppressed by reason, all disappeared at this moment.
"Yan Ting, I don't seem to have told you yet." In this small toilet, Li Zhao's tone was as gentle as winter sunshine, "I love you."
"Whether I can find my parents or not in the future, you are the person I love the most." Li Zhao chuckled softly, "No one can break us apart except you."
He was reluctant to let Yan Ting feel a little uneasy, and he was also reluctant to have any sadness for him.
"Zhaozhao." Yan Ting was panting as he spoke, he was in a hurry, "If your future parents don't agree with us being together..."
"Then I'll run away with you." Li Zhao smiled, "No one can stop you."
"Okay, let's elope." Yan Ting stood downstairs in the dormitory, looking up at the window of the dormitory where Li Zhao was, "Zhaozhao, come down."
"What?" Li Zhao thought of something, opened the toilet door vigorously, lay on the balcony and looked down. Downstairs stood a man in a long trench coat with snow on his hair and shoulders.
"I'll elope with you."
"Okay." Li Zhao took the phone, opened the dormitory door and ran out, "Wait for me."
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Li Zhao was running in such a hurry, Qian Duo didn't even have time to close the door, so he walked to the balcony and looked down. Except for a fool standing in the open air blowing the cold wind, there were no beautiful women.
Just thinking about it, he saw Li Zhao rush out from the door of the dormitory building, and then jumped onto the "fool".
"Fool" supported Li Zhao, reached out to help him put the down jacket hat on his head, covered his whole body tightly, and then bent over and carried him on his back.
Back... on the body? !
Qian Duo's eyes widened, feeling as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
"Qian Duoduo, what are you looking at?" Chen Peng saw Qian Duo lying on the balcony and was about to get up to take a look.
"It's nothing." Qian Duo naturally pressed Chen Peng back to the stool and walked to his table, "Just see if the snow has stopped outside."
He subconsciously helped Li Zhao choose to conceal it. The fewer people who know this kind of thing, the better.
Fortunately, it was already dark, and no one knew it was Li Zhao, otherwise tomorrow's popular headlines would be very lively.
The author has something to say: Baby Tingting and Baby Zhaozhao run away from kindergarten holding hands.
Because they suspect their parents won't let them play together.
