25.Chapter 25

The director said: "Dr. Yanglin has become famous for a long time, and I can see it today, and he is really a talent." Not only is he good at learning, but he is also very thoughtful, how to say it from your young people, he is handsome. โ€

The people around laughed, and a few echoed: "It's not much better than the little fresh meat on TV, and it's more knowledgeable and insightful than them." โ€

Lin Han didn't wear formal clothes, very simple casual clothes, because he was tall and straight, plus he was born charming and good-skinned, but he was also generous. At this moment, he shook hands with people very humbly, and treated the praise very calmly: "Everyone has won the award." โ€

Xia Ran had been squeezed out of the crowd, watching him greet people from a distance, his attitude was neither intimate nor alienated, he maintained just the right distance, and the arc of smiling at people was also carefully controlled.

Xia Ran suddenly felt a sense of rustiness, this person's eyebrows, eyes and body were obviously familiar to her, but if she really looked at it carefully, it seemed that she was through a curtain, and she couldn't see him clearly.

The years have left a lot of marks on each other, and thinking about it since the reunion, except for the body that has become more and more familiar with him after intimacy, Xia Ran has no idea about his life experience over the years.

It's not that she doesn't want to understand, it's that before that, she didn't think to understand at all.

The director asked, "Why is Dr. Lin still thinking about coming over so late?" โ€

Lin Han was a little drumming in his heart, and said, "Well, this ......" The two eyes flickered, and fell on Xia Ran, who was staring at him on the side, and when her eyes touched, she glared slightly-someone didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, a colleague with a good thing next to him helped answer: "I just saw Dr. Lin give Xiao Xia a mobile phone." โ€

The gaze brushed down on Xia Ran.

The director looked over and was a little surprised: "Dr. Lin knows our Xiao Xia?" โ€

Everyone is watching, it's not good to deny it, Lin Han thought to himself, this can't be blamed on me, and he said like a stream: "Yes-"

Xia Ran was afraid that he would say something, so she hurriedly interrupted: "The two of us are ...... Good friends, who used to be neighbors and grew up together. โ€

The director immediately said: "It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart." โ€

Everyone laughed, Xia Ran's face was so red that she was dripping blood: "Sort of." โ€

The director said: "That's great, it's the most beautiful time of the year in the city, Xiaoxia, if you have time these days, you can go out with Dr. Lin, an old friend." If there are any expenses, let people open โ–กโ–ก and take them back to the bureau, and those who can report must be reported to you. โ€

Xia Ran gritted her teeth and didn't respond.

Lin Han was very happy and said, "Thank you, I've made a trip to make trouble for everyone." โ€

"What did Dr. Lin say, you can come over, you have already given us enough face, where is the trouble, we are troublesome to you."

The conversation was very pleasant, and the director planned to personally lead Lin Han around the exhibition: "The opening is about to open, and the exhibition has not yet been completed." Dr. Lin came here tonight and hurried to help us guide us. โ€

Lin Han smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, I'm here to learn." โ€

The director smiled when he heard this, and someone next to him reminded him, and he immediately raised his eyebrows: "I'm sorry Dr. Lin, our bureau has a preparatory meeting tonight, and there are still some tasks to be assigned." โ€

Lin Han said: "It's okay, you're busy, I'll just take a look for myself." โ€

The director stared at Xia Ran on the side: "Otherwise, let Xiao Xia lead you around." โ€

Half of the exhibition was installed on the side, and Xia Ran's face was loveless.

Lin Han pointed to the propaganda slogan above and asked, "Comrade Xiao Xia, please introduce me to me." โ€

Xia Ran waited for the installer to walk away before daring to glare at Lin Han, the man immediately raised his hands to make a surrender form, and said: "Ranran, it's none of my business, I sent you a mobile phone, who would have thought that your leader would also come." โ€

Xia Ran didn't say a word, and walked around the huge indoor exhibition area one by one. As soon as she was silent, a low pressure gathered between the two, and Lin Han muttered in his heart, and dragged her out while there was no one around.

Between the display board and the wall, there is a natural private space, Xia Ran can smell the strong smell of adhesive in the air, and she must always be on guard against the third pair of eyes that appear.

His heart was pounding, his breathing was heavy, and he pushed his shoulder, Xia Ran snorted: "Lin Haha, don't you always go crazy outside, okay?" โ€

Lin Han pinched her waist and said, "Xia Ran, don't always show me your face outside, it's okay, we are quite harmonious in private, why do you make trouble when you see the light." โ€

Xia Ran twisted her body, Lin Han clinged closely, and warned: "Don't move, if you move again, the sign here will collapse, and if you don't want to be exposed, it will be exposed." I know the little Jiujiu in your heart, don't you just want to keep a low profile, I know how to be measured. โ€

Xia Ran wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at him: "Haha, they only know that I am married, they don't know that I am divorced, it is easy to have problems if I get too close to you, and people are terrible, I don't want to drown me with a mouthful of spittle." โ€

Lin Hanbian flattened his mouth, and after a while, his eyes showed hope again: "Otherwise, let's steal the beam and change the pillar, and directly push me to the front desk as my husband?" โ€

Xia Ran looked at him without blinking, and wanted to speak, but he admitted it himself, hurriedly pressed her mouth, and said, "Forget it, I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously, I said that I would try it, I won't be in a hurry." โ€

Xia Ran took his hand and asked, "Who promised you to try it?" โ€

Lin Han couldn't wait to jump up, pondered for a long time, and laughed at himself: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is better than stealing, I should take advantage of myself for nothing." โ€

***

Lin Han came out of the gap and shouted to leave: "You guys don't have anything to look at here, the things on display are quite big, but in fact, they are all garbage from the outside, it's okay for you laymen to see the excitement." โ€

Xia Ran sneered: "No matter how it doesn't work, everyone is running around here, and they are pulled over with all their efforts, you just look at this point, don't be in a hurry to kill them all with a stick." We're laymen, but you, the expert, have to be humble too. โ€

Lin Han sneered louder than her, and Xia Ran said again: "What have you been doing abroad for so many years?" โ€

Lin Han smiled happily: "You care about me." โ€

Xia Ran said: "It's just curiosity to ask." โ€

Lin Han spread his hands and looked around: "What can I do, the same as the theme of this exhibition, study the materials." โ€

Xia Ran asked, "What about the specifics?" โ€

Lin Han thought for a while: "In a word, I've been busy studying and doing research for so many years." When I applied to university, I didn't understand anything, so I chose a major that I couldn't understand. At first, I didn't have much interest, and I planned to be a monk for a day, but who knew that I would feel it after reading it, so I went to graduate school to study with a doctorate.

"At the same time as your exhibition, there is also a high-level forum in the field of materials, inviting well-known scholars from the world to study this field. My tutor is an academic champion and a local, and he returned to his hometown to give back to his hometown, so he set this meeting in Suixing, but because he was old and in poor health, I happened to come over to attend Brother Wilt's wedding, so I came to preside over it on his behalf.

"I haven't made any achievements myself, I have been following him to engage in scientific research, and what papers are published are at most ranked second authors, the industry may have a little impression of me, but in fact, like you, I am the most ordinary low-level intellectual worker. Besides, you should also know, I've been in a few bad relationships, and now I'm single, pestering a woman who doesn't take me seriously. โ€

He said it lightly, but Xia Ran knew that it shouldn't be so simple, the director was not a person who was easy to fool, if Lin Han was really just an ordinary academic worker, his attitude would definitely not be so low.

She also knows Lin Han's character, typical cards that do not follow common sense, are not serious when they should be serious, and fake modesty when they should be proud.

Lin Han looked at her eyes and said, "What are you thinking about, are you impressed by my talent, what is this, you wait for me to really get my results in the future." โ€

Xia Ran came back to her senses and said, "Don't brag, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have?" I'm wondering if you've had a few relationships, or hundreds, and you're not being honest enough at this point. โ€

"I haven't heard of curiosity killing cats, the most important thing in this life is that it is rare to be confused, no matter how many I have talked about, anyway, just know that you are the last." Lin Han said and scratched her nose.

Xia Ran immediately stepped back and looked around, Lin Han sighed: "Don't worry, no one is looking at you here." โ€

It's really boring, and he has to accompany people around to guard against it, Lin Han was impatient and said, "I'm really leaving, go see if there is a bakery nearby, and buy some for breakfast tomorrow." Call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up at the old place. โ€

In and out of the words, they all made up their minds to stay with Xia Ran, and they didn't wait for Xia Ran to have any opinions, so they immediately trotted away.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, he ran intently, and looked back the moment he went out. His eyes were bright, his smile was bright, and Xia Ran was shaken by the headlights of the venue.

I was surprised, how deviant these days were, first a ridiculous encounter in the trip, and then a reunion in a different place laughing and scolding, and now it's about to start living together?

The word "cohabitation" is getting bigger and bigger in her heart, and Xia Ran doesn't quite remember the last time someone lived with her.

She moved out of her former home quietly, resting her key on the shoe cabinet that had entered the door, and with a turn she waved her hand without taking a cloud with her.

The resoluteness of leaving home is exactly the same as when she was going to live with Du Xisheng. When she was alone and came to Sui Xing from the distant Heshui, she never thought about turning back.

At that time, they were in love with each other, and the two restless hearts did not want to iron together all the time. They were almost entangled in a hurry, and in the first few days of coming to defect, Xia Ran did not shy away from moving into Du Xisheng's hut.

They live like a small couple, eating in a pot and sleeping in a bed, Du Xisheng got up first in the morning, kissed her forehead, and then ran downstairs to buy soy milk buns and put them on the bedside.

She already understands people, and she wants to give herself to her lover without reservation. Du Xisheng stopped at the last moment, hugged her and trembled and said: "Ranran, I still have nothing, I can't give you anything, maybe one day you will regret it." โ€

So much so that when Du Xisheng was derailed later, Xia Ran couldn't believe it, that moonlit night and trembled in pain, just because she was afraid that she would regret Du Xisheng, the omnipotent Du Xisheng who everyone envied, but because of her, Du Xisheng was not confident...... How is it possible to be with another woman casually?

At the end of the meeting, the crowd streamed out of the conference room.

Xia Ran stepped forward to report Lin Han's situation to the director, without Lin Han's aura, the director didn't even bother to look at her, just nodded and said I know, and strode away.

The director at the back called her and said that a new colleague wanted to introduce her: "It's the project secretary I told you, you had something to do a while ago, and she has been here, so I have the opportunity to introduce you tonight." โ€

Xia Ran nodded and said yes, a person came out of the conference room, and the director beckoned her to come over and said, "Xiao Li, this is our colleague Xia Ran from our department." Xia Ran, this is Li Xiao. โ€

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and was surprised that there was a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and those who didn't want to see each other recently all lined up to come, and still smiled at people in embarrassment, and said, "Hello." โ€

Li Xiao was also dumbfounded, came back to his senses, and said, "Hello." โ€

***

When she went home, Xia Ran pinched her temples against the window glass.

On the other hand, Lin Han silently put down the milk tea that he had just sucked and sucked, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" โ€

Xia Ran closed her eyes and said succinctly: "Let's drive, I'm tired." โ€

"Oh." Lin Han started the car, thinking to himself what kind of cannon she had eaten so sullenly, wouldn't it be because she was dead and shameful to live with her?
