A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character

147 Orphan

On Yin Tao’s insistence, Lin Jia sent her the location of the cafeteria.

Yin Tao took out the velvet gift box from the drawer and also changed into a slightly more formal black dress. After all, judging by the location of the cafeteria that Lin Jia had sent her, it was obviously not a cheap place.

Yin Tao walked out of the police station and hailed a taxi. Just as she got in the taxi, her cell phone suddenly rang.

After informing the driver of Lin Jia’s location, Yin Tao opened the message.

It was a selfie and a message from Zhang Rui.

“Sister, I look forward to successfully advancing to be your sister-in-law!” The accompanying photo was a selfie of Zhang Rui doing skincare.

Yin Tao helplessly smiled. If Zhang Rui knew that Yin Hao had already seen her wild makeup look, would she still be as confident as she is now?

“You go girl!” Yin Tao added an encouraging emoticon behind the message. She was a little curious about how Zhang Rui would look if she failed.

She put away the phone, and the driver quickly arrived at her destination. Yin Tao took her bag and got out of the car.

Under the waiter’s lead, Yin Tao arrived at a small cubicle by the window.

“Little sister Xiaotao.” Lin Jia still looked as gentle and refined, but his eyes were clearly tired.

“Brother Lin Jia, you seem to be very busy recently.” Yin Tao sat opposite Lin Jia. When she saw the faint dark circles under his eyes, she felt that he must have been working late nights.

“I’m alright. The provincial government has set some performance targets, so my workload has increased by quite a bit.”

Lin Jia filled the cup in front of Yin Tao with warm water and slowly said, “Moreover, you should know from the police station that there has been a lot of trouble in City A recently. Not only have there been murders, there have also been troublesome issues cropping up one after another.”

“But you still agreed to meet me…” Yin Tao felt a little apologetic. Lin Jia had specially made time to meet her, and yet she has been thinking about how to reject him.

“There’s always time for lunch. Besides, I’m in a much better mood now that I can see you.” Lin Jia gestured for the waiter to take their order.

Yin Tao looked a little embarrassed, not knowing if she should take out the necklace or not. Looking at Lin Jia’s smiling face, Yin Tao couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

Even after the meal ended, Yin Tao still couldn’t find an opportunity to return the necklace.

“Little sister Xiaotao, do you have any plans later?” Lin Jia opened the car door for Yin Tao and asked her.

“There’s nothing else. My master gave me a break.” Yin Tao fumbled with the necklace box in her backpack as she organized her words.

“Then can you accompany me to a place?” Lin Jia bent over slightly. Yin Tao sat in the passenger seat and he gently closed the car door.

“Where?” Yin Tao was worried that Lin Jia would ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend again, so she decided to clarify things first.

Lin Jia got into the driver’s seat and said to Yin Tao, “I actually go to Xingyuan Children’s Home every month. I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t been there for almost two months.”

When Yin Tao heard that Lin Jia wanted to go to the Children’s Home, she didn’t reject him.

As they drove towards the Children’s Home, Lin Jia explained to Yin Tao apologetically, “Actually, I have another motive for asking you to accompany me.”

Yin Tao turned to look at Lin Jia, waiting for him to finish what he wanted to say.

“There’s a little girl called Shanshan at the Children’s Home. She’s only six years old and is a little withdrawn. The doctor said that she has a mild communication disorder, but I think you might be able to get through to her.”

Yin Tao was a little puzzled. “Why do you think that I can communicate with that child? I’m clearly the type who isn’t good with words.”

“You have a unique aura. I always feel that you’re different from the people I know.” Lin Jia smiled and continued to say to Yin Tao, “There are many things that don’t bother you, and you are able to look at issues with a clear mind, as an outsider.”

Yin Tao was stunned by what Lin Jia said. Indeed, she didn’t belong here at all. But how did Lin Jia sense that! Yin Tao didn’t feel that there was anything abnormal about her usual behavior?

“Brother Lin Jia, you think too much of me. Perhaps I’m a bit slow-witted.” Yin Tao said.

“It’s impossible for an outstanding forensic doctor to be slow-witted,” Lin Jia retorted with a smile. “Xiaotao, you’re very smart and brave. Don’t underestimate yourself.”

Yin Tao didn’t dare to speak anymore. Although Lin Jia always had a kind and gentle appearance, he was actually much sharper than many others.

The Children’s Home was located in a remote area. It took them an hour to reach their destination.
