Professor Lin's middle-aged love

The sun was scorching hot, and the noisy cicadas were ruthlessly blocked out by several floor-to-ceiling windows.

Zhou Mosu had a cold face, and his bright black eyes coldly swept over the newcomer who was sweating all over his body but never said a word, and said, "Since you can't give an explanation, you can go directly to the finance department to get your salary after the meeting is over." people."

"Adjourn the meeting!" Zhou Mo stood up, still expressionless on his face, but from the corner of his eye he could see the disdainful expressions of several old employees attending the meeting, "Li Feng, go back and write a report to re-draft the rules and regulations of your sales department Give me a new one."

No longer watching them act, Zhou Mo walked out of the meeting room, entered the elevator and went back to the office.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the project contract from yesterday. The legal department has approved it and stamped it. Please have a look." The assistant followed Zhou Mo into the office and reported.

Zhou Mo glanced at it, raised his hand and rubbed his temple, "Put it here first, I'll take a look at it later."

The door of the office was closed tightly from the outside, Zhou Mo leaned back on the back of the seat and let out a long breath, meeting with those veterans was as tiring as fighting a battle.

The group of people in the conference room just worked hard along with her father. For her junior leader, they have always been superficial and secretive, and they are not convinced in their hearts. .When Zhou Mo took over the Zhou Group, he had discovered it long ago, but the roots have been deeply rooted in the soil for some years. If you want to uproot them, you will have to hurt your muscles and bones.

What's more, Father Zhou's old antique may not agree with Zhou Mo's doing this because of the face of his old friend for many years.

Zhou Mo frowned and held his forehead, full of thoughts.

The phone on the table rang suddenly, Zhou Mo sat up straight, glanced at the notes on the screen, and then smiled on his cold cheeks.

"Hey, Xuanxuan, what can you do with my aunt?"

Ning Caixuan is Zhou Mo's niece, her sister Zhou Ying started her dance career after giving birth to her daughter, and Zhou Mo took care of her daughter.The child can be said to be brought up by Zhou Mo, so naturally he is closest to her.

"Auntie, let me tell you something."

The tone on the other side was a little cautious, Zhou Mo heard something was wrong, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I..." The girl faltered twice, and said, "I wrote a love letter to a girl, but Professor Lin caught me and asked me to call her parents."

Zhou Mo was slightly stunned. Isn't it only in elementary school or middle and high school that calling parents this kind of thing?Why is it still popular to call you parents after you are in college?Besides...

"Auntie?" Ning Caixuan waited for a few seconds, but when there was no reply, she called out again.

"Well, I'm here!" Zhou Mo collected his thoughts, "You're not a puppy love, you're just writing a love letter, why did you alarm the professor?"

"The love letter I wrote to her daughter! It was discovered by Professor Lin."

"..."

Zhou Mo smiled instead of anger, "You are pulling out a tooth in the tiger's mouth, you are courting death!"

Ning Caixuan was furious, and stomped her foot to threaten her, "I don't care, Professor Lin asked the parents, you have to go. And don't tell my mother, otherwise I will tell her that you purposely ran away in anger with your blind date."

Yes, but also coerced.The corners of his lips were lightly raised, Zhou Mo smiled fondly at the phone, "You are only capable in front of me, if you have the ability, go ask your mother for it?"

"Oh, don't I know that my aunt loves me the most? My aunt is the most..."

"Stop flattering, send me the address and time."

***

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after the business meeting ended, Zhou Mo drove directly to the university town.

"Xuanxuan, I'm here, where are you?"

Ning Caixuan had been waiting for her at the school gate for half an hour. She checked her watch every 5 minutes for fear that Zhou Mo would be late.Professor Lin is rigorous in her work and is very precise in controlling the time. She dislikes latecomers the least.

In an experimental class, a classmate was 5 minutes late. Professor Lin didn't let him into the lab directly, and even added an explanation after class.

Ning Caixuan frowned anxiously, and couldn't help but look around.

An iron-gray Panamera parked steadily in front of her. Ning Caixuan ran to the driver's seat and complained, "Auntie, why are you here? You're almost late."

"I rushed over after the meeting, isn't it fast enough?"

Because University A does not allow foreign vehicles to enter, Zhou Mo found an open space to park.She wore a black suit today with a white V-neck shirt inside, revealing her snow-white skin.The sandy brown long curly hair is naturally scattered on the right shoulder, and it is paired with bright red lipstick, which is intellectual and capable.

She stepped on seven centimeter high heels and was dragged by Ning Caixuan to the laboratory building.

"Look at your nervous look. You are a little bully at home, why do you become so weak in front of the teacher? That professor is a tiger, can he eat you?" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the rosy little face of his niece, and he didn't know if it was hot or Nervous and sweating profusely, Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing at her.

"I'm not afraid that she will eat me, but I'm afraid that she will eat you." Anyway, I'm not the one who wants to see her, Ning Caixuan glared at the aunt who was still gloating, gritted her teeth secretly, just laugh as much as you want!Later when you cry.

Fifteen minutes later, the two came to the third floor of the laboratory building. Ning Caixuan pulled Zhou Mo to stand on the railing and waited for Professor Lin to finish class.

"Isn't this get out of class over yet?" Glancing at the closed classroom door, Zhou Mo raised his hand to look at his watch and complained, "You can still make it in time if you walk slowly, but I'm running around the campus with you in high heels. I don't know how to love my aunt, I love you for nothing."

Ning Caixuan bent down and supported her knees, took a few breaths, and explained, "I'm afraid of being late! Professor Lin doesn't like waiting for others."

"I don't like waiting for others!" In the company, it is always the subordinates who wait for her. When has she been made to wait for others?Zhou Mo was angry, so she couldn't help raising her voice a little bit. Ning Caixuan was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down, and be careful not to be heard by the professor."

Zhou Mo patted Ning Caixuan's hand away, seeing her submissive look, he couldn't help being a little more curious about that Professor Lin.

Five minutes later, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.Ning Caixuan hurried to Zhou Mo, tugged at her sleeve, and muttered softly, "Professor Lin is here, I won't disturb your chat, let's go first!"

After the words fell, Ning Caixuan had already run away.

Zhou Mobai glanced at her back, then turned his head to look at the door of the classroom.I saw a woman walking out of it holding a few books.

Zhou Mo glanced quickly at her. She was wearing a clean white shirt and a black skirt with high waist and hips. It was simple and unadorned. The clothes were buttoned from the waist all the way to the neckline, without letting go of any of them.Further up is a slender neck with no pendants.She has no makeup, but her facial features are quite delicate, and a pair of framed glasses are placed on the bridge of her straight nose, which adds a sense of alienation.

From head to toe exudes the abstinence/desire temperament.

Zhou Mo has never had a good impression of the teacher.When she was in elementary school, she was psychologically shadowed by being kidnapped, and she didn't dare to speak when she saw people.In class, the teacher asked questions and asked her to get up to answer, but she didn't say anything. The teacher called her stupid like a pig and said she had mental problems.

Since then, she has become the laughing stock of the class, and the children always use the teacher's words to laugh at her.

"Professor Lin, hello! I'm Ning Caixuan's aunt." Zhou Mo collected his thoughts in time, and took a step forward to extend his hand.

"Hello!" Professor Lin pursed her thin red lips lightly. There was no extra expression on her face. She lowered her eyelashes and glanced at her outstretched hand. After a symbolic shake, she drew it back.

As soon as the cold feeling reached the fingertips, it disappeared.

like static electricity.

Zhou Mo didn't care, but when she caught a glimpse of her withdrew hand rubbing the tissue in the other hand twice from the corner of her eye, her face instantly sank.

This woman is not only cold, but also cleanliness.

It was the first time for Zhou Mo to be rejected by someone, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but the other party was Ning Caixuan's teacher. The anger was hidden in his heart, and he couldn't get out, but he could only bear it.

"Come to the office with me!" Lin Yuxi's voice was nice, crisp and clean, just like her people, showing a trace of coldness.

"it is good!"

The two turned around and left the laboratory building. During the period, they met students walking on the campus and nodded politely to Lin Yuxi.Zhou Mo watched from the side as the corners of her lips curved slightly, and nodded at the student in response.

There is a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of the nose, neither sweet nor greasy, refreshing and cool, which makes people like it a bit.Before coming here, Zhou Mo knew that this woman was already 39 years old. According to his impression of the teacher and professor, a woman who was nearly 40 years old would have some traces of age on her face.But Lin Yuxi is different. She has fair skin and cold brows, but she has a kind of delicacy that doesn't match her age.

It's just that the whole body has a little more inexplicable charm than the usual delicate girls. Zhou Mo thought for a while before confirming that it was feminine, the temperament of a mature woman.

There was no one else in the office, and the room was small, but clean and bright.A pot of green radishes was placed in front of the window, the desk was wiped clean, and a transparent glass was placed next to the computer, filled with fat sea.

"Please sit down!" Lin Yuxi pointed to the stool in front of her to signal Zhou Mo to sit down.

As soon as Zhou Mo sat down, Lin Yuxi handed a letter in front of her. Zhou Mo knew that it was a love letter written by his niece.

"I made an appointment with you today in the name of a parent, and I'm sorry for wasting your time, but I think it's necessary for me to communicate with you about Ning Caixuan and Lin Shan. Right now, I don't agree with them. love."

From the time we met to now, these were the longest words Lin Yuxi had said. Zhou Mo sat and listened, without taking his eyes off her face.

Lin Yuxi was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party, and subconsciously stroked the mirror frame on the bridge of her nose, avoiding the other party's eyes.

"Why?" Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows, puzzled in his eyes.

Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, seeming to have something hard to say.It's not that her daughter has never been in love before. It was when Lin Shan was in high school. When an adolescent girl met a handsome and passionate boy, she inevitably felt a little strange.As a mother, she once wondered whether she should take care of it or not. After a fierce ideological struggle, Lin Yuxi decided to give her daughter a certain amount of space.

But, she didn't expect that the boy would fall in love with another in his third year of high school. The young people's love comes quickly and passionately, but it goes away chicly and ruthlessly.It was her daughter's first love. She fell in love with someone ignorantly, but was suddenly abandoned. Lin Shan couldn't accept it for a while, but she didn't want to talk to others, so she committed suicide. If Lin Yuxi didn't find out in time, she daughter may have left her.

To this day, Lin Shan still has a scar on her wrist, a shocking reminder of her wrong decision to let her daughter go.

"Professor Lin did this, and it will be difficult for me to explain to my children when I go back." Zhou Mo saw some clues, but he didn't force him to ask, and he expressed his thoughts, "After all, they have already entered university and have the right to make their own choices. Including love. I understand that Professor Lin wants to protect her daughter's heart, but no matter how well you protect her, one day, she needs to leave your shelter and break into society alone. You can protect her for a while, but you can't protect her after all Her life."

Zhou Mo's words seemed to hurt Lin Yuxi's heart, she raised her eyes suddenly, behind the gold-rimmed glasses, those cold eyes seemed to be filled with pain and helplessness.She lowered her eyelashes, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly, "I have lost her once, and I don't want to lose her a second time."

Lin Yuxi's voice was very low, but Zhou Mo was very close to her, and he heard every word clearly.Seeing Lin Yuxi lowering her head, her thin shoulders suddenly loosened, as if she had peeled off the thick protective shell, revealing her true self, facing her child like other mothers, Finally somewhat helpless.

Zhou Mo suddenly felt a little sympathy for this mother, and even a little curious about her family.

She has worked so hard in the mall for so many years, and she can more or less see through even a subtle expression of some people.

In the eyes of the students, Lin Yuxi is a professor who is unsmiling but cold and unapproachable.But in life, she is just a mother.

It's just... where's her husband?Seeing my wife bear so much pressure, have you ever thought about sharing some of it for her?

Or, is she a single mother?

***

Zhou Mo stopped talking with Lin Yuxi, and she needed to digest the rest and make changes by herself.

The setting sun in the sky hides into the mountainside little by little, leaving only a faint afterglow.

Coming out of the office building, Zhou Mo walked alone on the campus, looking at the faces full of youthful vitality, he couldn't help but lament how time flies.

Once, she also had such a green age.But in a blink of an eye, I was already 35 years old, not a few years younger than that Professor Lin.Since taking over the Zhou Group, she has been like an emotionless machine, devoting almost all her thoughts to her work every day.It is also because of this that the blind date who has been talking for less than a year blows up.

Maybe it's because he didn't put too much emotion into it, but Zhou Mo didn't feel too sad.But the other party took her money to support the little boy, which made her very angry. When she learned the truth that night, she resolutely chose to break up.

From then on, when she saw any blind dates, she felt that they came for her money.

The paranoia of persecution is getting worse.

Sitting in the car, the light woody fragrance hit Zhou Mo, and Zhou Mo suddenly thought of the fragrance on Lin Yuxi's body. It was cool and refreshing, not as strong as those rouge vulgar powders in the bar. She is nostalgic, so fresh that people can't help but want to get closer, if she doesn't always have a cold face.

After starting the car, Zhou Mo suddenly smiled and shook his head. Since when did he become interested in university professors?The word "teacher" has always been taboo to her.

The car drove into the traffic flow, and her friend Gu Yunan called her. Zhou Mo glanced at her and pressed the answer button. Before she could speak, she asked eagerly, "Boss Zhou, are you busy tonight? Come out." Have a glass of wine?"

"No, I just finished my work, and I'm about to go home and rest!" Zhou Mo squeezed the center of her eyebrows. She held two meetings today, interviewed a partner in person, reviewed dozens of documents, and arrived in the afternoon without stopping. Seeing that professor at University A, he was really tired.

"Don't, come here! In my restaurant, I have something good to tell you." Gu Yunan is in the catering business. In this city, the Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, and Japanese restaurant she opened are doing pretty well. , when I usually meet Zhou Mo, I usually choose her shop.

"What's a good thing? Let's hear it first, and I'll decide whether to go or not." Zhou Mo said, and he had already turned on the turn signal, and drove in the direction of Gu Yunan's restaurant.

"I'll introduce you to a blind date, and we made an appointment to meet on Saturday!"
