Chapter 1243 As expected of a couple

He got back in the morning, it was only a little past six o'clock. He usually wouldn't be awake yet at this time, but he was really struggling to stay awake.

After giving a brief explanation to Emperor Ruyan, he returned to his bedroom, collapsed onto the bed, and was immediately struck by a dizzying, weightless sensation, as if he were drunk.

Less than two minutes later, Liu Ruyan, who was standing at the door, heard Lin Mo's steady breathing, and Lin Mo even started snoring, which was rare for him.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan did not go back to bed, afraid of waking him, and instead sat down on the sofa in the living room.

As for Lao Zhao's matter, although she left first yesterday, she wasn't completely unaware of it. Yuan Meng specifically sent her a message, but the details were quite different.

She was also a little curious, but seeing Lin Mo's current state, it was clearly not the time to ask. She decided to wait until he woke up.

June 6th has arrived in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao). The examination venues have already been sealed off today, and the students have been on holiday since yesterday. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, the college entrance examination had nothing to do with Liu Ruyan's company. She still went to work as usual, since they weren't a construction site or a project that made a lot of noise.

However, since it's Saturday, Liu Ruyan doesn't have to go to work, so she has plenty of time to gossip.

After returning to their dormitory, the three of them were clearly exhausted and fell asleep shortly after lying down.

The dorm room was filled with the sounds of snoring, but thankfully there were no snorers, otherwise no one would have been able to sleep well.

All four of them slept soundly, just as Lin Mo had said before leaving: "Have a good sleep."

The four of them did indeed have a good night's sleep, especially Old Zhao, who slept exceptionally soundly. This was the best sleep he had had in almost a year.

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, the bedroom curtains blocked the sunlight, otherwise he would have woken up long ago.

He sat up in bed groggily and found that the air conditioner in the bedroom was on and the temperature was just right. It was obvious that Liu Ruyan had set it up for him, otherwise he would have been woken up by the heat at the moment.

"Sister Ruyan, Sister Ruyan?"

Lin Mo called out twice after leaving the bedroom, but received no response. He then quickly poured himself a glass of water and drank it down, only then feeling himself come back to life.

He took out his phone, glanced at the time—it was just right—and then sent a message to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan replied that he should go to her studio downstairs.

Seeing this, he quickly washed up, and the moment the cold water touched his skin, he was completely awake. He then changed his clothes and went downstairs.

When he entered the studio through the back door, he found Miss Yuan and class monitor He Xiaoyue there, while Liu Ruyan was listening to the gossip with great interest.

"Why are you still thinking of coming to the studio?" Lin Mo walked in and looked at Liu Ruyan with a helpless smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan, sitting on the sofa, shrugged and said, "Just curious. You're sleeping, so of course I have to ask someone else. By the way, didn't you guys go back to the dorm? What happened? Did you chat too late last night and didn't sleep well?"

"It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I barely slept at all. We went to watch the sunrise," Lin Mo said, shaking his head.

Hearing this, all four of them were stunned. Miss Liu Ruyan quipped, "Sunrise? You guys are quite free, aren't you? A bunch of grown men getting into romance, huh!"

Lin Mo was too lazy to comment on Miss Yuan's thought process; what a load of rubbish about romance. Then, seeing Liu Ruyan's questioning gaze, he simply explained the situation.

The news of Lao Zhao's girlfriend's death could no longer be kept secret, but he didn't reveal the specific details. He then asked, "Sister Ruyan, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan made an OK sign, then pointed to a corner and said, "Hey, everything's ready. These are four gifts for your teacher. They're not too expensive, mostly fruit. You and your teacher are so close, why do you need to bring something every time you visit his house?"

Liu Ruyan asked with some curiosity. After all, Lin Mo goes to class two days a week now, and he often runs into Professor Mu during his morning exercise. It hasn't been a long time since they last saw each other. Bringing something as a courtesy is nice. You know, Lin Mo doesn't even need to bring anything when he goes to her house anymore.

“Hey, this time is different from before. This time I need your help. Old Zhao’s health is almost ruined. I need to take him to get some treatment,” Lin Mo said.

There was nothing he could do. Old Zhao was a man. If it had been a woman, he would have already taken her pulse and known what the problem was. But even so, based on his existing knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, he could tell that the kid's body was definitely broken.

After all, what good person can grow old overnight?

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded, while Miss Yuan cried out in alarm, "Ah~~ You actually have something going on?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?

"No, is there something you need?"

Miss Yuan: "Today is my birthday! June 6th, a lucky number!"

Lin Mo: →_→

"Whose birthday is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar?!"

Miss Yuan: "I'm doing it my way, it's none of your business!"

"Alright, we're too busy for your birthday today. Let's do it tonight. We'll find a place together tonight, and I'll go pick them up to go see my teacher."

After saying that, Lin Mo and the others helped carry the gifts to the car and drove to the back gate of the school. Soon, Chuan Mei and her two companions also came out. After all, they had important business to attend to today, and Chuan Mei and her companions were very reliable.

As soon as they got in the car, the Sichuan girl couldn't help but say from the back, "I'm not trying to be mean, Lao Mo, but your car is nice, it's just a bit small. It's a bit cramped for the four of us grown men!"

"Why don't you go drive and move the stuff from the trunk too?" Lin Mo rolled his eyes at her. Hearing this, Chuan Mei waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, I was just saying. Besides, it's not far, we can squeeze in and get there."

"You know it's not far, so why are you still babbling on and on!" Lin Mo spat, then started the engine and headed towards Professor Li's residential area.

Inside the car, the Sichuan girl was indignant upon hearing this: "What? It's not that big to begin with. Emperor Ruyan is really something. Doesn't she know that we tough guys drive big cars? Tell her to get you a rugged off-road vehicle!"

Look at Sister Yuan's G-Wagon, and those two tanks that Director Wang uses for personal purposes. Even my Cadillac is more spacious than yours! Don't you think so, Director Wang?

Director Wang nodded. Anyway, he just liked tanks and would definitely get one for himself someday.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at the two people behind him, annoyed. "I'll just have her buy me a subway car, those things are spacious!"

Lin Mo's car is a coupe, so its size is naturally smaller than those SUVs. Besides, when Liu Ruyan bought this car for him, she just thought he liked it.

Besides, he usually only has two people in his car, so what difference does it make whether the space is big or small?

"It's already pretty good. Mercedes, with its interior and design, it's every man's ultimate dream!" Old Zhao said with some envy.

Hearing this, Lin Mo laughed and said, "Hey, a car is just a means of transportation. After all, not everyone wants to be like Chuanzi, getting a Maybach with spirit rings to show off and pick up girls!"

"That's true, but forget about you. For ordinary people like us, a car is just a means of transportation. The two secondhand cars my dad gave me before, I drive them just fine. Having a car means I can sleep soundly in the wind and avoid getting wet in the rain. We've driven quite a lot."

Halfway through his story, Lao Zhao remembered the secondhand car he had sold, a car that held many memories for him and his girlfriend.

There was the innocent and naive feeling of the two of them in their first year of dating, as well as their experiences of driving around during winter and summer vacations. Even when they were doing internships, the car followed them, witnessing the entire process from their relationship to its end. However, by then the car was long gone, and he hadn't even had a proper goodbye to it because he was in a hurry to buy a car.

As Lao Zhao paused, the atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down. Lin Mo then patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

Fortunately, Professor Li's neighborhood wasn't too far from their location, and the four of them arrived in just over twenty minutes.

"Take your own, hurry up!"

After finding a spot in the neighborhood to park the car, Lin Mo opened the trunk and greeted everyone.

Upon hearing this, the three of them did not refuse, each took a gift, and then the four of them went upstairs.

'Boom dong dong'

As the knock sounded, the door opened, and Professor Li stepped in.

“Teacher!” Lin Mo said.

Sichuan girl: "Hello, Professor Li!"

Director Wang: "Hello, Professor Li!"

Old Zhao: "Professor Li!"

Professor Li wasn't too surprised to see the four arrive, since Lin Mo had called ahead of time.

"Come on in, everyone!" Professor Li greeted them with a smile and ushered them into the house.

In the living room, Professor Mu was cutting fruit in the kitchen when he saw the group enter, carrying some things. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring things again?"

"Hey, I just came to visit you two, and also to ask my teacher for a favor!" Lin Mo said with a smile as he casually put down the things.

Seeing this, Professor Mu didn't dwell on it any longer and immediately asked, "How did the defense go?"

"Everything went smoothly, and we should be able to pass if nothing unexpected happens!" Lin Mo nodded.

Professor Mu nodded: "Indeed, I've read several of your graduation theses, and they're nothing but garbage, completely devoid of substance. If you can't pass at this level, it would be truly outrageous!"

Four people:

There was no way around it; every paper the old lady had seen before was a key project, written by students from prestigious universities, and at least master's or doctoral dissertations.

Their graduation theses are practically worthless; it just goes to show that they can't even imagine the world of geniuses.

"Alright, everyone, sit down. Have a glass of water and rest for a while. Is this child needing to recuperate?"

At this moment, Professor Li couldn't help but speak, looking at Old Zhao.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo gave a thumbs up: "As expected of a teacher, you could even guess that!"

In response, Professor Li glared at him and said, "I know your physical condition. You have kidney deficiency, and you've been treated. You still have kidney deficiency. All three of you are just weak. What could possibly happen to you?"

This is the first time this child has come, and he doesn't look well. Shouldn't he be the one receiving treatment, or are you the ones needing to treat his kidney deficiency?

Four people:

It has to be said, these two are truly a couple; even their words are so infuriating. No wonder they can't stand each other.

Lin Mo was alright. Although he had been weak before, he recovered quickly. Director Wang was also doing well. After some treatment, although he still had some kidney deficiency, it no longer prevented him from using the medicine normally.

But the Sichuan girl broke through all defenses, saying she still has kidney deficiency!
