Zhou Mo poked her forehead gently and said, "You think too much. My father is just an ordinary retired civil servant. He used to work in the Disease Control Department, but now he's retired and occasionally gets invited to give lectures."
"Oh." He rubbed his forehead.
“Ding ding ding—”
Car horns honking.
Zhou Mo looked up and saw a pearl black Toyota Vios slowly approaching.
This is the car Zhou Mo wants to drive, but he extremely dislikes its fuel consumption.
After the car drove for a distance, Zhou Mo had to walk a few more steps with Zhao Xiaoshuang.
After getting in the car, Zhou Mo said, "Dad, your parking skills are not good?"
Zhou Zheng looked in the rearview mirror and smiled gently, "What are you talking about? Who could be so accurate and stop right at your feet?"
"Han Chen." Zhou Mo blurted out without thinking.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car became quiet and eerie.
Zhou Mo suddenly realized, "No..."
She looked at Zhou Zheng in the rearview mirror nervously, then glanced cautiously at Zhao Xiaoshuang beside her.
Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at Zhou Mo with a hint of surprise and suspicion, "Senior Sister, you and Doctor Han..."
Zhou Mo was sweating profusely, his brainstorming frantically, as if eight core computers were running, trying to think of the most appropriate explanation.
The key is that her father Zhou Zheng is still here...
Just when Zhou Mo felt that brainstorming was useless, Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke up: "You also know Han Chen, he and Zhou Mo were high school classmates, and our two families lived across the street from each other."
"So that's how it is," Zhao Xiaoshuang said, as if waking from a dream. "Well, a few days ago, someone spread a rumor online about Dr. Han and my senior sister, saying that they were married and that my senior sister was married to a lesbian. I was saying, 'How could such news be true? It turns out they were childhood friends.'"
Zhou Mo broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Xiaoshuang, this big mouth...
Zhou Zheng was confused and exclaimed: "Gay wife?"
He turned his head and looked at Zhou Mo in surprise.
Zhao Xiaoshuang thought Zhou Zheng didn't know what "gay wives" meant, and felt a little embarrassed. She was about to explain, "Gay wives are..."
"My dad knows..." Zhou Mo lowered his head awkwardly.
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaoshuang was surprised.
Zhou Mo said, "He's doing AIDS epidemiology research, and homosexuals are a high-risk group... He also knows about 0 and 1."
Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at Zhou Zheng with surprise and admiration.
Zhou Zheng's expression was as gloomy as ever. "What's wrong with Han Chen? He wouldn't really..."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Zhou Mo knew that Zhou Zheng was thinking wrongly.
Zhou Zheng restrained his expression and said, "You are all young people and interact with each other frequently. If you see him, you should also persuade him. He is not young anymore and should find a partner as soon as possible. His mother is so worried. Talk to him more when you have time."
Zhou Mo's face was dark. "Dad, if you are too free, come and see me, your daughter first. I don't have anyone to explain to you."
"You are different. You are my daughter. It doesn't matter whether you get married or not. Just stay with us. Your mother and I will be happy."
"..." Zhou Mo thought to herself, every time Liu Xiangru urged her to go on a blind date, why didn't Zhou Zheng say this? He always stood on the same front with Liu Xiangru.
Zhou Zheng added, "Han Chen is different."
Zhou Mo was dissatisfied: "Why is it different?"
"Let's not talk about him anymore." Zhou Zheng saw Zhao Xiaoshuang in the rearview mirror and changed the subject without saying anything more. "Miss, what's your name? What's your grade?"
"Hello, uncle. My name is Zhao Xiaoshuang," Zhao Xiaoshuang said cheerfully. "I'm a sophomore in graduate school this year."
"Hello, hello," Zhou Zheng also greeted warmly and then started the car.
A black Toyota Vios drove away from the Health Management College.
No one noticed a pair of burning eyes at the door, watching the black Vios leave.
…
The venue of the First Hospital of Southeast University.
When Zhou Mo and the other two arrived, it was still early for the meeting to start.
Zhao Xiaoshuang drank too much water when she went out, and the air conditioning in the venue was turned on very cold, so she couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom.
When asked if she wanted to go, Zhou Mo shook her head and pointed her in the direction of the bathroom.
She had been here for a meeting last time and was familiar with the layout.
Watching Zhao Xiaoshuang leave, Zhou Zheng pulled Zhou Mo to a secluded place nearby.
"Your schoolmate was here just now, so I didn't feel comfortable saying it," Zhou Zheng said sternly. "You're older than Han Chen, and you were high school classmates. You were such a close friend back then. From what you said just now, it seems like you still hang out with Han Chen quite frequently. You should definitely talk to him."
"..." Zhou Mo frowned, "Dad, I'm a whole year younger than Han Chen."
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment. "You are size 10, and he is size 11. How come you are smaller than him?"
Zhou Mo was speechless. Was Zhou Zheng her biological father?
"The date on my ID card is the same as his, but I was actually born a year later, and the date is wrong. I was born on the 10th day of the 11th lunar month, but my ID card says it's the 10th of November."
Zhou Zheng slapped his forehead. He had actually forgotten this. "Every year I celebrate it on November 10th of the Gregorian calendar. I made a mistake."
Zhou Mo complained: "All you see is my mom, not me."
Zhou Zhenglue was a little embarrassed. "Look at what you said. You are my daughter. If I don't have you in my eyes, who will have you in my eyes?"
Zhou Mo smiled contentedly.
"By the way," Zhou Zheng looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Han Chen...is there really nothing wrong with his sexual orientation?"
Zhou Mo rolled his eyes, "He is a super straight man, okay."
Zhou Zheng smacked his lips, thinking as he said, "Last time, your Aunt Liang was chatting with your mother, and she said that Han Chen hasn't had a girlfriend since he broke up with you in high school. And your schoolmate said something about his 'gay wife' and so on. I'm afraid..."
Zhou Mo thought that Zhou Zhengzhen was indeed an intellectual, his thoughts were even more open than hers.
"Don't worry, if he is gay, I will be Aunt Liang's son." Zhou Mo promised.
"Go away, you're so unruly," Zhou Zheng scolded with a smile, then added earnestly, "I just said that Han Chen is different from you. Mainly because your Aunt Liang raised Han Chen all these years. He didn't have a father since he was a child, so his upbringing was different from yours. Please take good care of him."
Zhou Mo didn't think Han Chen needed to be taken care of. "He's doing very well in the First Hospital of Dongda University. He's a talented person recruited by the hospital and earns a lot of money. Why does he need my care?"
"You kid," Zhou Zheng felt that Zhou Mo was a little stingy.
Zhou Mo twitched his nose, expressing his dissatisfaction, "You are still not my real father, you always side with others."
Zhou Zheng was helpless. Seeing that Zhou Mo was about to get jealous, what could he do?
Zhou Mo is his beloved daughter.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him," Zhou Zheng said seriously, "By the way, your Aunt Liang said before that Han Chen and you broke up... The more I listen to this, the more wrong it sounds. Were you and Han Chen dating at the time?"
Zhou Mo: “…”
Damn it, why did Zhou Zheng hit this pain point again?
In comparison, Zhou Mo would rather Zhou Zheng gossip with her about Han Chen, no matter how crooked their thoughts were.
It's better than she just lied to Liu Xiangru and now has to lie to Zhou Zheng again.
"...No," Zhou Mo tried his best to control his nervousness and remain calm.
