Professor, your turtle!

Ji Fan sat in the corner of the coffee shop, unconsciously stirring the tea spoon, a small private seat was separated by lush green plants.

Ms. Chen was sitting on the opposite side full of travel and dust. She didn't speak, she downcast her espresso and drank the espresso in one gulp. There were green ash visible to the naked eye in her eyes.

Ji Fan looked up and saw her holding up the second cup of coffee, he hesitated to speak.

She rubbed the root of her nose and spoke first: "Did you go to the interview yesterday?"

"Hmm..." His mood was unexpectedly calm, and he said, "The exams for the subjects I applied for just start today."

Ms. Chen was a little surprised, looked at him for a while, but said nothing.

Given paused: "I want to do what I like."

Instead of saying "what do I want to do", he clearly stated "I want to" for the first time.Ms. Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had reacquainted with her timid son.

She swallowed, opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't.

Ji Fan pursed his lips: "I know what I want, and I will definitely do it."

Chen Youqing frowned and looked at him for a long time, then said, "Are you sure? Don't change it?"

Ji Fan nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, the mobile phone on the dining table rang suddenly. Ms. Chen stretched out her hand to hang up. When she picked up the mobile phone, she caught a glimpse of the screen. She paused and her face sank.

"Wait a moment." She made a downward gesture to Ji Fan, tightly grasped the phone, got up and walked out quickly.

With a flash of her white coat, she quickly disappeared through the revolving door. Ji Fan turned his head to look at her back. For some reason, he felt a trace of unusual panic.

The coat was crumpled, and the cuffs were stained with coffee. It hadn't been changed in a few days.

Could it be... Has she been living in the laboratory since their quarrel?

Ji Fan knew his mother very well, and it was impossible for her to change her life routine just because she was in a bad mood, not to mention, he didn't think such trivial things as quarreling could affect her mood.

Some serious emergency must have happened, Ji Fan thought, forcing her to abandon the research institute in City H and rush back to the headquarters of T University.

Through the glass, he couldn't hear the conversation clearly, and could only vaguely see her faded face.She seems to be arguing with someone, and the words seem to be very violent.

Not long after, she hung up the phone, stayed where she was for a while, and waited for her expression to recover a bit before pushing the door open again.

Ji Fan quickly slipped back to his seat and sat down. After a few seconds, Ms. Chen came back.

She looked more tired than before. Seeing that Ji Fan wanted to speak, she gestured for him to be quiet, paused for a moment, and said calmly: "I understand what you mean."

"I……"

"Listen to me first," she interrupted him with a very quiet voice, "Since it's something you like, you have to stick to it to the end."

Ji Fan blinked in confusion, a little suspicious that he had heard wrong.

"Since you were young, your personality has always been..." Ms. Chen rarely curved her lips, revealing a fleeting smile, "That's why I wanted to help you choose."

"However, since you know it yourself, you don't need to look for me in the future." Her tone was calm, and she didn't seem to be saying angry words at all.

Ji Fan's eyes widened slightly: "...what do you mean?"

Ms. Chen took the document bag and stood up: "I will charge your card on time for living expenses."

"mom!"

Her footsteps paused, but she didn't look back.

Ji Fan hurriedly stood up, almost knocking over the potted plant.

"Mom," he said hoarsely, standing behind her awkwardly, "Mom, don't you want me?"

"How is it possible? That's not what I meant," she sighed, and finally turned around with an unexpectedly gentle look on her face, "It's just that everyone has their own way to go, even if it's a mother, it's impossible..."

The desperate cell phone rang again.

She looked down, then raised her eyes to glance at Ji Fan, and nodded at him: "Come on." After finishing speaking, she answered the phone in a low voice, and strode away from the cafe.

Ji Fan stood where he was, and that weird feeling came back.

For some reason, he always felt that she came here specially to say goodbye to him.

But... why?

"she left?"

Ji Fan turned his head: "Mr. Fu!"

"What's the matter, why is your face so pale?"

"..."

It's not convenient for them to talk too much in public.Fu Mingyuan frowned, lifted his chin slightly, and said, "Come with me."

The two walked to a secluded place.Ji Fan hesitated for two seconds, then expressed all the doubts in his heart.

After Fu Mingyuan listened carefully, he didn't question him, but said: "Let me ask."

He made a few phone calls, his expression was not very relaxed, and Ji Fan was a little flustered: "Mr. Fu...?"

"Something went wrong," Fu Mingyuan said. "The exact cause and effect are unclear. It seems that the information in her laboratory has been leaked."

Ji Fan pursed his lips. It was just leaking information. That was Ms. Chen, who had not changed her face before the mountain collapsed. How could she be so nervous?

"I can't tell on the phone," Fu Mingyuan rubbed his head comfortingly, "I'll go and find out later."

Ji Fan let out a "hmm", still a little worried.

"Yes, and this one."

Fu Mingyuan handed him a form. Ji Fan looked down and was taken aback for a moment, only to see "H City High School Graduation Travel Plan" written in bold on it.

"Parents, I've signed for you." Fu Mingyuan stretched out his index finger and nodded, his flat tone concealed a trace of imperceptible anxiety.

"Oh, thank you……?"

Ji Fan was quickly distracted by what was written on the paper: "Three days and two nights, a hot spring trip in N City?"

He hissed in surprise: "Huh? Didn't they all go on a day trip to the Science and Technology Museum before? When did the school become so generous?"

Fu Mingyuan shrugged and looked away: "Who knows?"

"Is it really a hot spring trip?" Ji Fan turned the paper over and over several times, "Really!"

Fu Mingyuan saw a trace of excitement and anticipation in his eyes that fit his age, so he couldn't help but also smiled: "Yes."

After a while, Ji Fan suddenly thought of something: "Ah, wait a minute."

"Ok?"

"I..." He pushed the paper back to its original place and muttered, "I don't seem to be able to go."

"?"

Ji Fan sighed softly, alas, obviously he has always wanted to go to the hot spring.

Fu Mingyuan didn't pick up the piece of paper, and the corners of his lips were drawn into a line, looking unhappy, and said solemnly: "I've already talked to your head teacher. Why didn't you go all of a sudden?"

Ji Fan blushed a bit: "...That's right, something happened."

"what's up?"

"..."

"Ji Fan?"

He struggled for a long time, his face flushed, and finally met the man's increasingly unkind eyes, and stammered: "7, July 7."

"Isn't that... your birthday?"

He lowered his head, his voice was almost inaudible: "I want to spend time with you."

Fu Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and tried his best to restrain the corners of his lips that wanted to rise, and said lightly: "Oh, how do you know?"

"I..." Ji Fan glanced at him quickly, "I checked it online." As if afraid that he would get angry, he hurriedly added, "Really, just this once, never again."

Fu Mingyuan couldn't restrain himself anymore, he showed a slight smile, raised his hand and stroked his bangs: "Silly boy."

In the whirling green shadow, Fu Mingyuan bent down slightly, and quickly kissed Ji Fan's forehead under the shade of the tree.

Ji Fan narrowed his eyes from the heat of the kiss.

"Silly, how could I just let you travel to the hot springs with others?" The other party laughed softly, "Of course I will go too."
