It was already dark when Xue Lingyu went home at night, Lin Chen insisted on sending Xue Lingyu upstairs, but Xue Lingyu refused.

If I really asked Lin Chen to go upstairs to see me off, maybe the other party would go up to have a rest, or stay overnight?

Thinking of this, Xue Lingyu firmly declined Lin Chen's kindness, and went upstairs by herself. The light at the door was still broken, and Xue Lingyu took out her mobile phone from her pocket to light it when she was almost at the door.

He remembered that he put the key in his pocket when he went out, and he fumbled to get it. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the darkness.

Xue Lingyu's footsteps stopped...

It was the voice from the door...

Xue Lingyu stood far away on the stairs, using the light of the mobile phone to illuminate, "Who is it?"

Xue Lingyu has also heard about the frequent murders in City S recently. Although the police are afraid that the citizens will be panicked, the situation has reached such a point that it cannot be covered with paper.

Xue Lingyu turned on the flashlight and shone it.

"Lingyu, it's me." A man's voice replied.

Xue Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief as she looked over.

It's Professor Zhang.

Tensor is still in the same suit he wore when we met at noon. He doesn’t look embarrassed at noon at all, but he doesn’t have his coat, and the water stains on his hair and face have been cleaned up. He is using his hands to cover his phone to take pictures glare.

"Lingyu, it's me."

Xue Lingyu saw that the other party's eyes were illuminated by strong light, and out of politeness, she quickly turned off the flashlight.

"Professor Zhang? Why do you..."

"Noon...not by..." Tensor seemed to be because Xue Lingyu saw his embarrassing scene at noon, and Ruya's face showed some discomfort, "After that, I was covered in water, so I put my coat in the laboratory."

"Then I forgot to bring the key."

"Ah? Is that so..." Xue Lingyu also saw Professor Zhang being splashed with water at noon. He was actually a little curious, but out of politeness, he didn't ask.

"Then what do we do now? Can we go back and get the key?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Professor Zhang looked at his watch and shook his head helplessly. "At this point, the doors of the laboratory are probably closed."

Tensor raised his head and smiled when he saw Xue Lingyu's worried expression, "It's okay, I've already contacted the nearest unlocking company, and they will come in about half an hour."

In fact, Xue Lingyu can pick locks, but he has not shown his hands in front of outsiders for many years. After all, being able to pick locks is always reminiscent of petty theft, which gives people a bad impression, and he has to work hard Explain that after a long time, Xue Lingyu simply didn't show this skill very much.

Originally, he was still worried that Professor Zhang didn't bring the key, but fortunately, the other party had already invited someone from the unlocking company.

"Ah, that's fine." Let a professional do this kind of thing.Xue Lingyu took out the key and just opened the door when she suddenly remembered something and paused.

Xue Lingyu originally planned to open the door and go home, but suddenly remembered that the light at the door was still broken. As soon as he closed the door, he would leave Professor Zhang alone in the dark corridor. Wouldn't that be bad.

So he said, "Professor, why don't you come and sit at my house."

"No, the lockpicker will be here in half an hour. I'll just stand and wait for a while."

Xue Lingyu thought about it for a while, but she still didn't close the door, so she stood with Professor Zhang in the corridor, so that there would be light coming out.

"Well... in the restaurant during the day..." Xue Lingyu decided to ask after deliberating for a while, "What's going on with that?"

What he asked was about Professor Zhang being splashed with water. After all, both of them had seen each other and they had doubts in their hearts.

"That..." Tensor was even more embarrassed, and he hesitated when speaking angrily, as if there was something unspeakable.

"That's our dean's daughter, Ning Ya."

"Ah?" Xue Lingyu was even more confused when she heard this. Why is the dean's daughter so domineering?

"She is a graduate student I took a few years ago." Professor Zhang hesitated, "Because she is more talented, and I admire her more, I gave her a lot of guidance in studies, maybe because of this, let this What did the silly girl misunderstand..."

Professor Zhang fell into memories, "After that, she was going to go abroad for further study, and she contacted me before going abroad...then... confessed to me..."

"Ah?" Xue Lingyu showed an incredible expression.

"Hehe, you also think it's unbelievable." Professor Zhang smiled helplessly, "I was also taken aback at the time."

Of course, Xue Lingyu didn't expect that the woman at noon today seemed to be 27 or 50 years old, but Professor Zhang was already [-] years old. The identity was once a teacher and a student, and it was already doomed that the two could not be together.

"You know my situation. I'm already an old man half buried in the ground. Ning Ya is also a silly girl." Professor Zhang shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "I'm a widower, how can I delay someone else's young girl who is in full bloom? , of course I can't promise her."

"Besides, if I agree, wouldn't I be more sorry for my late wife... Hey..." Tensor sighed for a long time, and finally added a sentence.

Xue Lingyu nodded in understanding.

It's not the first time Xue Lingyu has heard Tensor mention his wife. Every time the other party's tone is full of nostalgia, it can be seen that Professor Zhang's feelings for his wife should still be very deep, but... Xue Lingyu went to Professor Zhang's house When I was a guest, I never saw anything about Professor Zhang's deceased wife, not even a single photo.

"Your wife... is she a decent person?"

Xue Lingyu was curious about what kind of a woman without leaving any traces, what kind of personality she had, which made Professor Zhang reject all girls at a prime age, and still treat her well into old age. Never forget.

"She...she is the only person who understands me, but she is also a very stubborn person." Tensor smiled lightly when he mentioned his dead wife, even the expression on his face became much gentler. "We also have a son, but both of us are workaholics and spend a lot of time in the laboratory. When we were young, we always quarreled, even the last time we met. My son got into the car and wanted to go back to his mother's house, but there was a car accident on the way..."

"If I knew that it was the last time we met, I..." Tensor said this, and finally covered his face with his hands in pain.

"For so many years, I can't forget the last look she looked at me..." Tensor covered his cheeks with his hands, Xue Lingyu couldn't see his expression, but it might be because the night was too quiet, even if it was very slight, Xue Lingyu heard a choked sob. "As soon as I close my eyes, she seems to look at me with that disappointed look. Sometimes late at night, I even have the illusion that she is still here, by my side, watching at home." I……"

Xue Lingyu has always known that Tensor seems to have a deep affection for his dead wife, but he never thought that after so many years, bringing up the past would still have such a big impact on the other party. Yes, some pain, it is impossible to pass over time disappeared.Isn't it the same for yourself?

Under the city covered by night, how many people's sorrows are hidden.

Professor Zhang put his hands on his face to calm down for a while, and finally smiled lightly, "So I have lived alone for so many years, and my wife is stubborn. If I really marry someone else behind her back Woman, what face do I have to ask her for forgiveness."

Xue Lingyu opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort her, but the lockpicker came and broke the silence between the two.

"Is it the door of this house?" The lock picker came over, and the door opened with two clicks, Xue Lingyu looked at the time, good guy, faster than himself, it seems that he is still a professional.

"Lingyu, then I'm going home, so don't stand with me at this door." Professor Zhang opened the door and greeted Xue Lingyu.Xue Lingyu agreed, and then the two of them closed the door almost at the same time.

Because Xue Lingyu went crazy for a whole day yesterday, she basically got home, washed up and went to sleep casually, completely forgetting what she promised Lin Chen yesterday, so the next morning, he was woken up by Lin Chen's serial calls of.

"Hey~" Xue Lingyu replied lazily. At this moment, he didn't realize what he missed, until an angry roar came from his ear, "Xue Lingyu, why don't you come to work!"

……

Xue Lingyu always sleeps until she wakes up naturally, and has never experienced the hardships of office workers. The alarm clock set in the morning can't wake him up at all, so he naturally overslept. When Lin Chen's phone woke him up at 09:30, He was still so angry that he completely forgot that he had to go to work today.

Lin Chen knew that Xue Lingyu would come to work this morning, so he moved a desk to his office with great interest early in the morning, and even wiped the desk clean with a rag, thinking that the two of them would face each other when they got to work , I can see the other party as soon as I look up, so I can't be too happy, so with such a happy smile, Lin Chen waited until eight o'clock...

no one came...

Nothing.

Lin Chen thought, after all, it was the first time to go to work, and there was still half an hour before he started clocking in, so he couldn't be in such a hurry.

By 08:30, Xue Lingyu hadn't appeared yet...

Lin Chen looked at his watch, he was fine.

Lin Chen thought, after all, it was the first time for the other party to go to work, and the place he lived was so far away, and the other party didn't have a car or anything, so he should be more considerate, yes, wait a little longer.

At nine o'clock, Lin Chen couldn't help but make a phone call.

No one picked up.

At this moment, Lin Chen was really worried.Still able to sit down.

This time, I waited until 09:30...

Lin Chen really couldn't sit still this time.

The other party is not still asleep, right?

It's already 09:30, if the other party overslept, wouldn't they have to wait until noon to get here.

Or... what happened to Xue Lingyu when she wasn't here?

After all, Xue Lingyu looked like she changed her name and lived in a secluded place, so she should have run out behind Gu Mingzhe's back. Now that she didn't come to work as agreed, and she couldn't get through the phone, nothing really happened.

It is conceivable that just when Lin Chen was fidgeting and wanted to leave his work and run for himself, Xue Lingyu's phone finally got through, and he was so angry when he lazily heard "Hello~" up.

"Hurry up and come to work for me!!!"
