A richly detailed table appeared on the display.
Lin Yu couldn't make out the dense small print and data, but he could clearly see the title.
This was Mo Shangying's physical examination report!
As the table opened, the report automatically turned pages, scrolling through them one by one.
Lin Yu had seen many physical examination reports, but a forty-page one was a first for him!
What all did they check?
A 360-degree full-body check-up with no blind spots?
Does it have to be this outrageous!
“Xiao Yuzi, for the sake of our mutual health.”
“It's necessary to have a physical examination before a one-time collaboration.”
“This is my check-up from last week. If you're too lazy to read it, you can just listen to my summary.”
“Aside from cold hands and feet and a weak spleen and stomach, my body is very healthy.”
“I just booked an appointment for you at the same hospital. You can go any time on Thursday, two days in advance, with your ID card.”
“I've already paid the money; you just need to show up.”
Professional, truly professional.
A girl who could casually break through network security defenses indeed had a strong sense of safety.
If she was truly worried about getting sick, couldn't she take the most time- and effort-saving approach that the general public uses?
Lin Yu asked, somewhat puzzled:
“Yinger, if I may interject.”
“You're so careful and cautious, so why…?”
“Carrying an umbrella on a rainy day to avoid getting wet and sick, isn't that what most people would choose?”
“But your approach is to research how not to get sick after being caught in the rain?”
Mo Shangying, despite being a novice without a driver's license, displayed the smile of a seasoned driver:
“Xiao Yuzi, tell big sister honestly, why is your mindset different from most men?”
“I’ve looked up a lot of information, even tracing it back to primeval times, about the conquest drive and territorial instincts of male animals.”
“Isn’t this the way you like it?”
“My thinking is simple: who would be willing to entrust the first, and possibly only, experience of their life to an umbrella?”
Mo Shangying's casual remark struck Lin Yu's weak spot.
As a true seasoned driver.
His subconscious thought was always safe driving, always protecting himself.
Being lectured by a “pseudo-theory master” really did stir up his primal instincts.
Noticing Mo Shangying's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Yu again dodged the topic:
“That makes sense, Yinger. How much did this physical examination, with so, so, so many items, cost?”
Mo Shangying answered casually, “It’s a once-a-year check-up, you know. I wanted a thorough check, and it cost eighteen thousand eight hundred.”
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Too damn rich.
Eighteen thousand eight hundred for a physical check-up?
Were they checking it cell by cell?
Indeed.
In his previous life, he missed this hidden rich woman by his side.
He never imagined that in this life… their relationship was progressing a bit too fast.
Lin Yu pondered and then asked, “What about my check-up?”
Mo Shangying spun in her chair and replied, “Oh, yours is two hundred thirty-eight.”
Lin Yu was stunned: “…Two hundred thirty-eight yuan?”
Mo Shangying nodded: “That’s right. Just routine blood and urine tests and the five virus items. These are enough; no need to waste money.”
Lin Yu: “…”
Reasonable.
Sufficient.
Very rational.
Being someone who often indulged, he knew the value of these few tests.
Not only was she a rich woman, but she was also a shrewd one.
First Chi Qingchi, then Mo Shangying.
These two women today completely refreshed Lin Yu's stereotypes about these two major female groups.
After Mo Shangying and Lin Yu reached an agreement.
She suddenly remembered to ask:
“Xiao Yuzi, speaking of… what did you originally come to see me for?”
Mo Shangying's sudden antics had thrown Lin Yu into disarray, almost making him forget the important matter.
Then.
Lin Yu explained that Qimeng Jie was cooking downstairs and had invited her to eat.
Mo Shangying readily agreed, saying:
“Qimeng Jie is still too polite. Making her flower shop website only took me a little over ten minutes.”
“Let me pick out the football match, and I’ll go down to eat with you.”
Lin Yu asked curiously:
“Football match? What football match?”
Mo Shangying stared at Lin Yu with the look one would give a primitive man, puzzled:
“Xiao Yuzi, you're a University Student, after all. Are you really that uninteresting?”
“When we talk about a football match now, of course, we’re talking about the World Cup!”
Only after Mo Shangying said that did Lin Yu recall.
The summer of 2014 was indeed the period when the quadrennial World Cup was in full swing.
Lin Yu wasn't particularly interested in football; the only complete match he had ever watched was eight years later when Messi achieved his Grand Slam.
At that time, he was dragged by a group of colleagues to watch until early morning in a bar on a cold day.
His knowledge of football was limited to recognizing some star players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappé, and Neymar.
Recalling the 2014 World Cup…
Lin Yu: “!!!”
That's right!
This is 2014!
A year that left behind rare records and historical regrets.
You don't need to know much about football; as long as you have a few friends who love watching it.
When discussing the World Cup, there are always a few unavoidable topics.
For example:
The… amazing country that made it to the semifinals purely by relying on the referee;
Zidane's headbutt;
Germany not giving the host any face, don't expect to walk out of Brazil standing;
Messi gazing at the World Cup trophy;
My name is Messi, and I'm panicking right now;
The birth of the French supercar;
The rolling Neymar;
Passing his home three times without entering, I am the quasi-god Lukaku…
Speaking of which.
He really had to thank his colleagues who loved watching football, as they had inadvertently made him remember many things.
“Yinger, what stage is the World Cup at now?”
“Who's playing whom next, and when?”
Lin Yu asked eagerly.
Mo Shangying calmly opened the website she was preparing to bet on and replied:
“Didn't you just not care? It’s a bit late to care now.”
“It's almost over. Tonight… or rather, tomorrow morning at 4 AM, it's the semifinals.”
Lin Yu's eyes twitched:
“Semifinals, Germany versus Brazil?”
Mo Shangying was slightly surprised:
“That’s right, you do know quite a bit, don't you?”
“It's a pity that Neymar, my favorite player, was severely injured last time and can't play.”
“Sigh, in the quarterfinals, I only got one match right. I lost terribly.”
“I don't know if the host Brazil can hold up against Germany in tonight's match.”
“I'm so conflicted. Which team should I bet on…?”
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Even the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt wouldn't hold up!
Among Lin Yu's few football memories, this match was one of them.
Germany's 7:1 crushing victory over Brazil!
