Chapter 5 Life is Short

At first smell, the stinky mandarin fish smells of rotting fish and shrimp. This smell is like the smell of shrimp shells thrown into the kitchen trash can after eating them in the summer, and fermenting them with other kitchen waste for an afternoon. After the chef cooks the fish, the sauce with garlic sprouts and minced ginger is poured on the fish, and the smell is no longer so strong, but it brings out a special flavor - the taste of amino acids. In the mouth, the fish is smooth and tender, and it is obviously fish, but the taste seems to be the fattest hairy crab claw meat in autumn, and there seems to be a sense of familiarity in the deliciousness. Lin Yulin chewed carefully, yes, this is the taste of the hometown mold. After a series of processes, soybeans are made of thousands of zhang - called bean skin in the north, after being impregnated and fermented in brine, they are steamed in a pot, and they are also this kind of stinky and fresh taste.

For Lin Yulin, who has loved to eat fish since childhood, this dish is fresh and delicious. She has eaten a lot of strange food, and it is rare to be willing to eat more than one like this. There is only one drawback, after eating stinky mandarin fish, I only feel bland.

She ate happily.

The corners of Lu Jiyao's mouth rose, she gave him the best part of the fish with the first chopsticks, this is the first time that someone of the opposite sex has served him vegetables, and everyone in his social circle is very polite and will not do this.

Full of tea and food, Lin Yulin expressed the doubts in his heart.

"How much information do you know about me in your dreams? I want to eat Hui cuisine, do you also know through dreams? ”

"I just saw a few clips. You're working in a lab wrapped in a cocoon of several layers of protective clothing, with a bunch of petri dishes in front of you, as if you're studying some bacteria or virus. Lu Jiyao tried to recall.

Lin Yulin's face was a little red. She didn't know what kind of wind she smoked back then, so in order to be closer to the boy she liked, she randomly filled in the bioengineering major that she didn't like very much, because that school was in the same city as the school that the boy wanted to go to. Later, fate made people, and the boy just talked about it, but he filled in another school in Beijing, and he mixed very well.

Fortunately, after the water in her love brain evaporated, she was able to study seriously and with ease, so she was able to slowly gain a firm foothold in her current laboratory after graduation.

In the dream, after the disaster spread, she was able to continue to work in the laboratory with this academic qualification without encountering too many ups and downs.

"I didn't know you wanted to eat Hui cuisine. I asked you to come here because this store has my investment. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the mandarin fish skeleton, "I've improved the recipe for the stinky mandarin fish here. ”

"That way, I don't have to take on boring tasks and stay at home."

"Pick up a task? Do you have to take the task? ”

"There's an extra bonus because of the mission. The number of tasks completed is related to the year-end bonus, didn't I tell you? 'Salary increases or decreases according to the completion of tasks each year,' I said. ”

"Then you said that the treatment is similar to my current ......"

"Oh, that's the basic salary, which means subsistence."

Lin Yulin really wanted to hit someone.

No wonder I rarely see Lu Jiyao, it turns out that he basks in the sun at home every day, being a happy writer who doesn't need to code, and occasionally running errands part-time probably to experience life? Maybe the errand shop was also invested in by him...... Today is probably his busiest day in recent years.

The little brother who looks so good-looking turned out to be a salted fish essence!

Looking at the smug look on Lu Jiyao's face, Lin Yulin silently gave him a nickname in his heart.

"Then I can get double pay without quitting my job!"

"Are you always available? There are some tasks that you have to participate in, and I am also for your physical and mental health, don't work too hard. What's so bad about resting more, is the drama not good or the game not fun? Life is short, and more enjoyment is. ”

"To put it lightly, if I don't work, I wait for tasks every day? The rent is expensive. I'm going to save money ......."

"You can go upstairs every day to bask in the sun with me and eat a package. I can wrap it up if you want. Lu Jiyao narrowed his eyes and tried to seduce.

Lin Yulin was speechless about this inexplicable embarrassment. She suspected that Lu Jiyao had read too many novels and had an incorrect understanding of "flirting with girls".

“…… Stop. I have one more question. ”

"What?"

"I saw in my dream that you were volunteering in a laboratory at an institute. Is this true? ”

Lu Jiyao's expression became cold, and the faint smile lines in the corners of his eyes disappeared. "Really, but not volunteers. You don't have to worry about that, these things have nothing to do with you. Lu Jiyao got up, beckoned the waiter to sign a list, "Let's go, I'll send you home." …… Oh no, we're going home together. ”

Seeing that Lu Jiyao avoided the question, Lin Yulin was not easy to get to the bottom of it, this was probably an experience he didn't want to mention, or they weren't familiar enough, she asked this a bit out of bounds.

The lights were turned off at night, Lin Yulin lay on the bed, thinking back on the events of this day, and still felt unreal.

Thinking of something, she sat up and forgot to test her abilities. She didn't know what it would be useful for her ability in the future, Lin Yulin muttered in her heart, slowly recalling her experience of using the ability.

In that dream, Lin Yulin's ability was photosynthesis, and the derived light energy focus could be used to ignite fire. Photosynthesis can't be helped, it's big night, so let's try the pilot fire.

She stretched out her fingers, focused her thoughts, imagined the energy in her body flowing to her fingertips, and silently counted the seconds in her heart. One, two, three...... Scold! Suddenly there was a light in the darkness, like a flame, faster and brighter than in a dream. Lin Yulin froze at this small point of light.

In that case, today's events may all be true! She couldn't have really experienced that, did she?! Is this world the same as the world I know? If you travel to a parallel world, or if you lose your memory and are reborn, how can you confirm it?

The ball of light in his hand gradually dimmed and disappeared, and despite the basket of questions in his mind, Lin Yulin still felt an irresistible sleepiness hit him, and gradually lost consciousness.

On the iris pendant at the head of the bed, the anti-jamming device is still working hard, and there is a small signal light that turns on and off.

A good night's sleep.

————————————————

Lin Yulin was woken up by the doorbell.

She closed her eyes and took a set of big flower pants from the bedside, then rubbed her eyes and ran to the door to see the cat's eye.

It's Lu Jiyao again.

Thinking about it, she has only been in Yangcheng for a few months, and the only person who can be called to know and know the address is Lu Jiyao except the landlord.

"What's the matter, early in the morning......"

"Do you want to eat fish and chips?" Lu Jiyao handed the glass lunch box in his hand to Lin Yulin's eyes, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to Lin Yulin.
