Under the current background, it seemed a little awkward to see 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 Doctor Lin, as if he was afraid that this would destroy his family relationship.
Doctor Lin only maintained a polite and reserved smile,
He replied calmly:
"I believe him."
After signing and completing the procedures, boss Zhou and Doctor Lin took the elevator and left the apartment after being instructed not to leave Tongcheng in the near future.
When he walked out, the night breeze blew, and he felt much more comfortable and sober. Boss Zhou lit a cigarette and said,
"I'm quite sorry to let you come out to make a trip so late at night. You should go back first and rest early."
As for the divorce agreement, boss Zhou did not ruin the mood and mention it again at this time.
"Didn't you drive here? I'll send you back."
"No need. I'll take a taxi."
"Do you have to be so polite?"
"Okay."
Zhou Ze got into Doctor Lin's car and leaned back on the leather seat. He sighed with emotion:
"You changed cars again?"
Sometimes, Zhou Ze also thought that if it was just a simple rebirth, rebirth as an ordinary person, there would not be the matter of his sister-in-law, nor would there be the matter of ghosts. It would just be like the rebirths in his bookstore. It seemed that this life would be quite comfortable.
If it was a son-in-law, then so be it,
His father-in-law was rich and his wife was beautiful,
Tsk tsk,
Tsk tsk,
In reality, many people would look down on men who lived off women. This was the same as many people hated corrupt officials. They hated themselves.
However, there was no such thing as "buts" in life. During that period of time, a series of accidents had completely changed the course of events. Later on, he had slipped into the terrifying whirlpool of "who cheated on who". He was desperately seeking death.
He turned his head,
Boss Zhou looked at Doctor Lin, who was driving,
Then, his gaze began to move down naturally,
Oh,
Damn jeans!
The corner of Doctor Lin's mouth curled up slightly.
When the car passed by the night market stall, Doctor Lin asked,
"Do you want some supper?"
"Okay."
After pulling over and parking the car, the two of them walked into a small restaurant.
Zhou Ze ordered a casserole rice noodles, while Doctor Lin ordered a bowl of wontons.
The two of them sat facing each other. Neither of them was playing with their phones, but neither of them were chatting. Occasionally, their eyes would meet, but they would look away without any ripples.
When the food was served,
Both of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating seriously.
After eating halfway, Doctor Lin was the first to break the silence.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Yes."
"How about you? How have you been?"
"Not bad."
"Yes."
The short conversation had successfully pushed the awkwardness to an even greater level.
"Just treat him as a friend," Doctor Lin took a sip of the soup with a smile.
"Okay."
After eating, they walked out of the restaurant and got in the car again.
Doctor Lin started the car. They were about ten minutes away from the bookstore.
Boss Zhou sat in the front passenger seat and lit a cigarette. Then, he turned his head to look at Doctor Lin's reaction. Seeing that she did not frown, he continued to smoke.
The car stopped at the traffic light in front of him.
Zhou Ze reached out his hand and shook the ash off his cigarette.
He suddenly asked,
"By the way, I have a question."
"Ask away."
"It's about Xu Le."
Doctor Lin took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Okay."
"Xu Le, have you done anything like sperm donation or refrigeration before?"
Doctor Lin was silent.
The red light turned green.
The car still did not move.
Fortunately, this road was very deserted at night, and there were no cars behind.
After a long time.
Doctor Lin turned to look at Zhou Ze in surprise.
"Yes."
… …
The car did not drive to the bookstore. Instead, it turned around. Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot of the affiliated hospital.
He got out of the car.
Zhou Ze looked up.
He looked at the hospital building in front of him.
In the past two years, he had not been to the hospital many times. Recently, he had not been there much. He did not have any nostalgic thoughts.
"A year ago, the Reproductive Department of the Affiliated Hospital called me and asked me if Xu Le's sperm needed to be stored and paid for.
"It was only then that I found out that he had frozen sperm in the Affiliated Hospital's sperm storage."
Zhou Ze did not ask why. He just followed Doctor Lin into the Affiliated Hospital building in silence.
After he used Xu Le's body to reincarnate, all of Xu Le's previous contact methods, including social media, were abandoned by him. What replaced them was his new self.
Naturally, the hospital's department could not contact him. However, Tongcheng was only so big, and the circle of doctors was only so big. It was normal for the people in the Reproductive Department to contact Doctor Lin.
As for why Xu Le was so bored to do this,
It was also easy to understand.
Because at that time, although he married Doctor Lin,
Doctor Lin still slept in a separate bed from him.
In addition.
He was more cowardly.
He was also more pessimistic.
Perhaps he felt that it was impossible to have children in the near future.
He might as well freeze the sperm in advance for later.
Boss Zhou had been thinking about how the Spirit X at the crime scene came about;
He used the elimination method.
Ever since he had reincarnated, he had been clean. It was impossible for him to leave anything outside, and it was impossible for him to lose any condoms or tissues.
As for forcefully extracting the sperm from his body.
That's even more impossible. Who the hell could do that?! '
Therefore, this way, the line of sight was clear. The only possibility left was that it had something to do with Xu Le.
The technology of freezing sperm was already very mature. This thing was like putting it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. When it was needed, it would be taken out to thaw and used.
Of course, the freezing here was not really in the refrigerator. The refrigerator could keep food fresh, but it could not keep this fresh. It had to be placed in a special freezing equipment. The refrigerator at home could not reach this temperature.
The two of them took the elevator to the fifth floor.
At this time, the doctor had already gotten off work. There was only a nurse and an intern in the department. A man and a woman were chatting and giggling from time to time.
Zhou Ze poked the scarf around his neck and said,
"Bewitched by them. I need to check something."
The white fox did not move. Instead, it lazily replied in a voice that only Zhou Ze could hear,
"Whose sperm information are you investigating?"
"Xu Le's."
"Who are you?"
"..." Zhou Ze.
Yes.
I'm Xu Le now.
I'm going to check my frozen sperm records.
Over there.
Doctor Lin seemed to have thought it through more clearly. He pushed open the door and walked in.
When Zhou Ze entered, Doctor Lin had already explained his purpose to the intern doctor and nurse inside.
"Sorry, it's already time to get off work. If you want to check the records, come back tomorrow."
In the hospital, there was a clear hierarchy. Leaving people on duty at night was really just a night shift.
Boss Zhou reached into his pocket and took out his wallet. He was about to withdraw some cash to clear up his connections.
Actually, it was just a small favor. He was checking his own records, so it was not a big deal.
Doctor Lin handed over her business card before Zhou Ze did,
When the young doctor and nurse saw the business card, they were shocked and their attitude immediately changed.
After all, the circle of doctors in Tongcheng was only so big. Doctor Lin's hospital was famous for its high treatment and good benefits. Even if they did not have the intention to change jobs now, they were still willing to leave a way out and form good karma.
"Okay, Director Lin, it's fine. We're willing to help you with this. Wait, I'll log into the system."
The intern doctor sat in front of the computer and logged into the sperm bank's system.
The young nurse hurriedly went to pour some water, appearing very attentive.
Zhou Ze sighed and put the wallet back.
"Director Lin, what's your husband's name?"
"Xu Le, happy music."
"Okay, wait a moment. By the way, Director Lin, are you planning to have children in the near future?"
At this moment, the young nurse beside him poked the intern doctor.
The intern doctor felt that he had asked too much and might arouse the other party's disgust. The other party did not do the freezing in his own hospital and specially did the freezing here. Moreover, he came over at night. Wasn't it because he was worried that the matter would spread?
Why did he ask so much? His mouth was cheap.
Doctor Lin maintained his smile and did not say anything.
"I found it. It was stored three years ago."
"Can you find it?" Zhou Ze asked. Then, boss Zhou added awkwardly, "I want to see it."
After saying that, he felt that his addition was really shameful..
"Uh, it's definitely there, but I don't have the key. I can't open it now. This... Hey, no, there's another record here. Wait a minute."
The intern doctor continued to search the system,
Then..,
When the search results came out..,
He frowned,
He looked at Zhou Ze,
Then he looked at Doctor Lin,
He said,
"A year and a half ago, it was taken out and performed artificial insemination surgery in our hospital. Moreover, according to the records, it was successful."
"What?"
Doctor Lin was shocked,
This was impossible,
She couldn't have come. Besides, a year and a half ago, Xu Le was already Zhou Ze, so it was even more impossible for him to have come here.
"That's what it shows."
The intern doctor scratched his head. He could also tell that something had gone wrong. It was impossible for the couple to know nothing about this. Even if they found a surrogate, it was impossible for them to have such a reaction.
"As for the specifics, we'll have to wait for the department director and the others to go to work tomorrow. At that time, Director Lin, you guys will personally ask them. I've only been here for half a year."
The intern doctor shrugged helplessly. He also knew that he seemed to have poked a hole.
After leaving the hospital building,
Doctor Lin stood by the flower bed and stopped in her tracks. Obviously, she had mixed feelings.
"Let her fall asleep."
Zhou Ze whispered.
The white fox wagged its tail,
Doctor Lin's body swayed and was picked up by Zhou Ze before she fainted.
"Your way of comforting a woman is really direct."
The white fox could not help but tease.
"You stay and take care of her. Send her home."
"What about you?
Speaking of which, is there a pleasant surprise today? "
Zhou Ze heard this,
He smiled,
His eyes revealed a trace of undisguised coldness.
He said,
"Heh, what do you think?"
