Chapter 40 There is no choice for eating fish tonight



Yu Yizhou struggled to stand up with the help of the wall, his face full of anger, and limped down the stairs, leaning against the wall.

But both legs hurt at the same time, and he grimaced in pain. He accidentally lost his balance and fell directly on the stairs, falling flat on his face.

Han Chen stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Yu Yizhou with a cold face as he struggled to go downstairs to pick up his crutches.

Seeing Yu Yizhou almost crawling to get the crutch, Han Chen turned and left.

Go through the security door and into the corridor.

Han Chen looked up and saw Zhou Mo standing outside his door.

"Wait for me?" Han Chen asked.

Zhou Mo nodded and looked behind Han Chen.

"Did you beat him?"

"Not really."

Han Chen was a little proud, and his eyes swept over Zhou Mo, "Why, are you looking forward to having a man fight for you?"

Zhou Mo was instantly thrown a bucket of cold water, and immediately greeted him with a cold face and a haughty attitude, "Why should I expect that? Besides, since I was a child, there are so many boys who like me, and it's not like they haven't made a move for me."

"Oh? Who are they?" Han Chen asked leisurely.

Zhou Mo instinctively wanted to blurt out a name, but after seeing Han Chen's face, he swallowed it back into his stomach.

That was another secret in her heart.

"Even if I tell you, you don't know me."

Zhou Mo turned and went into the house. She found Han Chen still there. She asked, "Hey, aren't you coming in?"

"Don't you have any tea for me to drink at home?"

“…”

Zhou Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Yes! Then go away. Bye!"

Raise your hand to close the door.

Han Chen strode forward and grabbed the door panel at the last moment before it closed.

The two of them suddenly looked at each other through a narrow gap in the door.

Zhou Mo noticed that Han Chen's hand was almost caught in the crack of the door and immediately let go.

"Are you crazy? You don't want your hands anymore?"

Han Chen didn't care much about it. He just opened the door, stuck close to Zhou Mo, and squeezed in sideways.

Zhou Mo followed the tall and strong man with his eyes and rolled his eyes at him.

"The shoes are in the cupboard, change them yourself."

This time, Zhou Mo will not be as kind as he was last time and get him slippers.

Han Chen was feeling quite relaxed. He sat on the sofa at the door, bent over, opened the shoe cabinet, and accurately found the pair of slippers that Zhou Mo had given him last time.

Zhou Mo looked at Han Chen with disdain. He really didn't consider himself an outsider.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't have any three-gun turrets here. I only have longan, red dates and wolfberry tea."

Han Chen stood up with a faint smile on his face, "I'm not picky."

"...Wait." He turned and went into the kitchen.

Han Chen went to the living room.

After the tea was brewed, Zhou Mo placed the glass teapot and glass cup on the coffee table.

Han Chen took it over and said, "I can do it myself."

Zhou Mo took a step back and sat on the sofa.

The water was too hot, so Han Chen only poured half a cup. He blew gently and took a sip, then put the cup down and asked thoughtfully, "Are you cooking tonight?"

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. "Do it, what will you eat if you don't do it?"

"It's just right. I didn't have dinner."

“…” How shameless of you to say that.

"I've helped you today after all, so treating me to a meal isn't too much, right?"

Zhou Mo was speechless in his heart. "You actively asked for compensation after helping others. You really have a 'spirit of dedication'!"

Having said that, I still got up and went to the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with fish in one hand and ribs in the other. "Which one do you want, fish or ribs?"

"Which one is faster?"

"fish."

"I choose the ribs."

"..." Zhou Mo's anger was rising. "We're having fish tonight! No choice."

Han Chen was not idle during the cooking process. He took the initiative to help Zhou Mo, preparing dishes and passing seasonings.

Zhou Mo was dumbfounded by Han Chen's change.

In particular, when Zhou Mo said she wanted pepper powder, Han Chen naturally opened the seasoning box, scooped out a small half spoonful, and asked her if it was enough.

Zhou Mo was even more shocked.

Han Chen actually knew the seasonings and could control the amount precisely.

It seems that Han Chen has learned a lot over the years.

"Didn't Auntie say that you only know how to cook porridge?" Zhou Mo remembered Liang Xinyuen saying that.

Han Chen put down the seasoning box. "When I was abroad, I had to rely on myself and slowly learned everything. After I came back, I was busy with work and didn't cook much. My mother had never seen me cook before, so naturally she thought I still didn't know how to do anything."

When the word "going abroad" was mentioned, Zhou Mo's cooking hands suddenly stopped, "Why are you going abroad?"

"The college cooperated with foreign institutions, and in the last few years, students were sent abroad for joint training."

Zhou Mo paused for a moment, slightly surprised, "You didn't take the initiative to go abroad?"

"No," Han Chen frowned, "Who said anything?"

"No..." Zhou Mo suddenly felt a little flustered, a little uneasy, and his mood was a little complicated.

Zhou Mo still remembers that when she was in her senior year, she got a place as an exchange student.

The School of Health Management of Dongjiang University where she studied had an exchange student place at Han Chen's School of Health Management of Didu University.

The exchange period lasts for one semester.

At that time, it had been more than three years since they broke up.

When Zhou Mo learned that he had the opportunity to go to Imperial Capital University as an exchange student, he was neither happy nor sad and did not have too many thoughts.

I just feel that I might meet Han Chen.

However, when she arrived at the Imperial Capital University and talked about Han Chen with others, she found out that Han Chen had already gone abroad, and that there was a girl with him.

That person also said that Han Chen went abroad to develop his career with his girlfriend because he had one.

Inexplicably, this matter was like a thorn in Zhou Mo's heart.

It was obviously not an important matter, but Zhou Mo felt a little uncomfortable every time he thought about it.

Zhou Mo always thought that this discomfort was caused by his own "pride".

She dumped Han Chen, and Han Chen chose someone else. There should be nothing wrong with that.

But everyone has selfish desires, and Zhou Mo is no exception. She always thought that she had failed to control her "selfishness".

Zhou Mo was tossing back and forth between rationality and emotion, and she thought this was the reason for her discomfort.

But in the final analysis, Zhou Mo still minded the fact that Han Chen went abroad with a certain girl.

Just like Han Chen also minded that she had so many boyfriends.

Six or seven years had passed since the incident, so Zhou Mo had to control his emotions no matter how much he cared. He could only pretend to be casual and ask, "Dr. Xu also went abroad with you?"

"She has never been abroad, and she is not my classmate. She graduated from Dongjiang University like you."

"I didn't expect that she and I are actually schoolmates." Zhou Mo laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

Han Chen frowned and looked at Zhou Mo in confusion, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person. "Two-thirds of the employees of Dongjiang University First Hospital are graduates of Dongjiang University Medical School."

What this means is that it is not a coincidence that Zhou Mo and Xu Qingli are alumni, but a high-probability event.

Zhou Mo: “…”

"What's wrong with you?" Han Chen looked at Zhou Mo carefully. "Why do I feel like something's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Mo was afraid that Han Chen would see through her flaws, so he immediately lowered his head to cover it up and said, "Bring the dishes out."
