Professor Lin's middle-aged love

"Your girlfriend?"

He Yizhen stared at the mobile phone screen on the table for a while, but because he was not too close, he could only vaguely see the figure of a woman.

The sun shrouded the woman like a golden tulle, outlining her graceful figure. The woman's straight nose bridge, perfect jaw line, and cool temperament around her were all fascinating.

He Yizhen pursed her red lips lightly, with deep meaning hidden in her eyes.

"Yes!" Zhou Mo was observing the subtle expression of the opposite woman from beginning to end, and when he successfully captured the surprise in the other's eyes, Zhou Mo's lips curled up and he smiled.

"Bring her to meet Mr. He some other day." Zhou Mo leaned back on the sofa holding the wine glass with his slender fingers, "But she is introverted, so she doesn't often come out to participate in such occasions."

When Zhou Mo said this, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, twinkling, as if he could only see the girlfriend she was talking about.

"Does that mean that we will be able to drink Mr. Zhou's wedding wine soon?" He Yizhen withdrew her thoughts, she felt that she must have thought too much just now.

Not to mention the identity of Zhou Mo Dongsheng's boss, just because she is unmarried so far, the other half should be of similar conditions, at least she should be an unmarried woman.

Based on this alone, the woman who caught a glimpse of Zhou Mo's phone screen just now should not be Lin Yuxi.

The two of them... their family backgrounds and their own conditions are too far apart.

Lin Yuxi already had a daughter, how could that old stubborn Zhou Shibo allow his daughter to find a second-married woman with a child?

He Yizhen shook her head and chuckled, why did she subconsciously associate that woman with Lin Yuxi?

It's clearly an irrelevant relationship.

After thinking about it, the smile on He Yizhen's face became more and more natural.

Zhou Mo stared at her ever-changing micro-expressions, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Mr. He has been single too?"

Now that the topic has touched on personal feelings, Zhou Mo didn't hesitate anymore and asked a question.She was really looking forward to the other party's answer, her eyes lingered on He Yizhen's face, she never thought that the two people's tastes would be so similar.

He Yizhen's eyes paused for a moment on her, and he nodded with a smile.

"..."

Gone?

Zhou Mo squinted his eyes, and the look he looked at her became much deeper.

This woman is not easy to deal with.

***

Ning Caixuan stayed in the hospital for more than a week before being discharged.Because her legs and feet were not yet flexible, on the day she was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Mo called the driver to drive over in a commercial vehicle, and Lin Yuxi's mother and daughter rushed over early in the morning to help.

"Auntie, shall I live with you?" Ning Caixuan asked aloud as the car drove out of the hospital.

Zhou Mo glanced at her through the rearview mirror, then glanced at Lin Shan who was sitting next to her, and nodded, "Yes, yes, but wouldn't it be a little uncomfortable to let the aunt at home run back and forth to cook for you every day?" convenient?"

The aunt Zhou Mo is talking about is Aunt Yun who has been working in the Zhou family for many years.

"I don't like to eat the food cooked by my aunt." Ning Caixuan whispered.

Lin Yuxi was sitting in the middle row, and listening to their conversation, she hesitated and said, "Otherwise, I'll cook for Xuanxuan during this time! Anyway, school is already on holiday." She turned her head and looked at Ning Caixuan asked, "Xuanxuan, do you think it's okay?"

Ning Caixuan was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.She had tasted Professor Lin's cooking and liked it very much, but the other party was a professor after all, and Ning Caixuan felt a little sorry for asking her to cook for herself.

"My mother's cooking is delicious." Lin Shan saw that Ning Caixuan pursed her lips and said something in a low voice, her voice was soft and cautious, and she secretly glanced at her from the corner of her eye from time to time.

This week in the hospital, Lin Shan and her mother would come to the hospital to deliver meals to Ning Caixuan almost every day. The other party would say thank you and occasionally smile, but the extra words would be gone.

Lin Shan lowered her eyes in frustration. She knew that her behavior had hurt the other party. Her mother told her to give Ning Caixuan some time, which she should bear.

If she really likes Ning Caixuan, she has to believe that the other party will give her a chance to change, it's only a matter of time.

During this period of time, Ning Caixuan needs her, and she needs to take care of her feelings.

After listening to her mother's words, Lin Shan locked herself in the room and was depressed.Every day, she dresses up meticulously to meet Ning Caixuan. Even though the other party doesn't talk to her, she is already satisfied to see that she is still willing to eat the food that she learned from her mother.

"Then I will trouble you, Professor Lin." Zhou Mo responded aloud while sitting in the co-pilot, because the driver was present, her tone showed a sense of alienation.

Lin Yuxi looked up at her through the rearview mirror, was stunned for a moment, and said, "No trouble."

Zhou Mo's family lives in a high-end residential area, with a flat floor of more than 200 square meters, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the long river water outside the window.

The decoration of the home is mainly in white and gray tones, and the off-white floor tiles are bright and clean.

Putting the things down, Lin Yuxi took a brief look at the room. It was spotless, and the simple and luxurious decoration did not have the slightest breath of life. It looked like a sample room.

Helping Ning Caixuan into the bedroom to lie down, Zhou Mo went to the living room and saw Lin Yuxi staring at the empty refrigerator in a daze.

Zhou Mo smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I don't usually cook at home, so this refrigerator is just a decoration, and I haven't used it yet."

After closing the refrigerator door, Lin Yuxi turned her head and asked her, "Is there a supermarket nearby?"

"There seems to be one, and it only takes ten minutes to walk." Zhou Mo responded that she had purchased some hygiene products there when she first moved here.

"Do you need to buy vegetables? You tell me what vegetables you need, and I'll go buy them." Seeing what the other party meant, Zhou Mo picked up the handbag on the table and asked.

Lin Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Mushrooms, water spinach, cowpea..."

A few strands of hair hung down her cheeks, blocking her view. She raised her hands and closed them twice, revealing her deep and charming eyes.

Zhou Mo stared at her blankly, feeling a little dazed for a while.

When Lin Yuxi looked up at her, she noticed her dazed eyes, and guessed that she didn't know how to choose dishes, so she simply said, "Forget it, I'll go with you!"

together?There was a happy smile on the corner of Zhou Mo's lips, these words really touched her heart.

Because the summer vacation has already begun, there are many children in the supermarket, coming and going, whistling past like a gust of wind.

Lin Yuxi pushed the small trolley to the vegetable area, and Zhou Mo followed her, with his arms behind her waist, half-touching, maintaining a seemingly invisible distance.

Feeling the soft rubbing sensation on her waist, Lin Yuxi glanced sideways slightly and met her gaze.

"I'm afraid those children will bump into you." Zhou Mo explained solemnly after receiving the suspicious look from the other party.

Lin Yuxi glanced at her, turned her head and continued to pick tomatoes, without rejecting her "kindness".

Seeing this, Zhou Mo's heart fluttered, and he simply leaned his arms up, and went around Lin Yuxi's waist to hold the handle of the small cart, almost wrapping him in his arms.

"Maybe I need to buy some ingredients for cooking, I don't have any at home." Zhou Mo said, his nose moved closer to Lin Yuxi's cheek, and the fragrance was overflowing.

"I'll go to the seasoning section to buy later." Lin Yuxi lowered her head, staring at the tomato in her hand, and replied naturally.

Zhou Mo looked at her pretty side face, raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling that they were like a couple who had lived together for a long time, they didn't need to look too much, and there was a tacit understanding in a conversation.

Zhou Mo was overjoyed.

After wrapping and weighing the selected vegetables, when he was about to turn around, a ball slammed over and landed at Lin Yuxi's feet.

"I'm sorry, the child is naughty, did you hit you?" A woman ran over with a doll-like girl in her arms, her eyes full of apology.

"It's okay!" Picking up the ball under his feet, Lin Yuxi handed it to the girl with a smile on his face, and asked softly, "Little friend, is it your ball?"

"Yes~"

"Would you like to thank Auntie?" Seeing her daughter receiving the ball with a smile, the woman guided her to thank her.

I saw the girl put her chubby little hand on her cherry-like rosy mouth and kissed it lightly, then put her palm on Lin Yuxi's cheek, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, auntie~"

Zhou Mo rolled his eyes and was shocked by the voice.

She is such a cute doll, even her voice seems to have a milky scent.

"You're welcome." Lin Yuxi's twinkling eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the girl's cheeks, and praised the child's mother, "Such a cute baby."

Facing children, the brilliance of motherhood in Lin Yuxi is infinitely magnified.Zhou Mo looked at her snow-white skin as if it had been soaked in milk, and couldn't help swallowing.

"I don't think you are too old, don't you plan to have a baby?" The woman asked them with a smile as she glanced at the two people who were almost stuck together, not missing the affection in Zhou Mo's eyes.

Same-sex marriage is now legal, and many couples who are together choose to have a child of their own through medical means.Her question made sense, but it caused the two people in front of her to be stunned.

A few seconds later, Zhou Mo reacted faster.She coughed lightly, and replied shamelessly, "I have a daughter."

She only said that she had a daughter, but didn't say it belonged to the two of them, so it shouldn't be wrong!Zhou Mo self-righteously found reasons for himself.

Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at her again in a trance when she heard the words, her ears were stained with a blush.

"They're all so big, I really can't tell." The woman's eyes were obviously in disbelief, after all, the two women in front of her looked like they were only in their 30s, and they already had children.

Well maintained.

The woman wanted to say something more, but a man's voice came from behind, probably her husband.He simply said goodbye and left with his daughter in his arms.

"I answered that for you just now." Seeing the person walking away, afraid of Lin Yuxi's blame, Zhou Mo lowered his head and approached Lin Yuxi to explain, and added at the end, "Are we a good match?" Otherwise How can people misunderstand?

Thinking of their conversation just now, Lin Yuxi was inexplicably ashamed, lowered her eyelashes to avoid Zhou Mo's approach, and pushed the cart away.

***

Because Zhou Mo's family needed to buy a lot of things, the two of them spent more than an hour shopping in the supermarket before buying everything.

It was almost twelve noon when I returned home. Lin Yuxi put on a newly bought apron and went to the kitchen with the ingredients. Lin Yuxi sighed slightly as she looked at the stove which was clean enough to reflect the light.

I really don't know how this person lived for more than 30 years?

"Mom, do you need my help?" Lin Shan hurriedly ran to the kitchen and asked when the elders came back.

"No need, let's do it, mom! It's already twelve o'clock, you do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat until two o'clock." Lin Yuxi turned to her daughter with a gentle smile, and her fingertips curled up the hair hanging on the other's forehead Si tucked behind her ears, "Go and ask Xuanxuan if there is anything she wants to eat in particular?"

"Yeah, good!" Lin Shan bent her eyes, her heart was full of gratitude, she put her arms around Lin Yuxi's neck and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek, "Thank you mom!"

A soft kiss suddenly fell on the cheek, Lin Yuxi smiled dotingly at her daughter, and said softly: "Go and accompany Xuanxuan! Mom calls you when the meal is finished."

Lin Shan nodded, turned and left.

Put the cowpea in a basin and rinse it with water, Lin Yuxi stood in front of the sink in a daze.The scene in the supermarket just now recalled in my mind.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhou Mo's eyes full of envy when he looked at the girl as a child.

She should also like children very much.

just my age...

Lin Yuxi shook her head suddenly, and stopped her thoughts in time. What was she thinking?

"Just fry one or two dishes. You've been busy all morning, so be careful not to get tired." Zhou Mo held Lin Yuxi's arms from behind with both hands, and leaned over her shoulders with his chin, leaning towards her and said.

The faint fruity scent on Zhou Mo's body enveloped her, Lin Yuxi's heart tightened, and she made a soft "um" uncomfortably, before she could urge her to go to the living room, she heard her daughter's voice appearing at the door again.

"Mom..." Lin Shan supported the door frame with one hand, and saw Aunt Zhou Mo hugging her mother from behind, she was taken aback, and then suddenly fell silent.

The two turned their heads suddenly when they heard the sound, Lin Yuxi's eyes met her daughter's, and her cheeks burned instantly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuxi adjusted her mood and asked pretending to be calm.

"Oh, that, did you buy chicken wings? Xuanxuan wants to eat Coca-Cola chicken wings." Lin Shan returned to her senses, glanced at Aunt Zhou Mo who had flicked aside, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"I bought it, and I will make it at noon today."

"it is good."

***

Lin Yuxi cooks very quickly. It took an hour or so from washing and arranging the vegetables to frying them in the wok to prepare four dishes and one soup.

Lin Shan helped Ning Caixuan to sit down, and then sat beside her. When Lin Yuxi came out with the bowl and chopsticks, she glanced at the empty seat beside Zhou Mo, and her eyelids twitched slightly.

Sitting side by side with Zhou Mo, Lin Yuxi moved the chair out without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo got up to feed Ning Caixuan and leaned towards Ning Caixuan seemingly unintentionally. When they sat down again, their legs were close together, and they rubbed against each other intentionally or unintentionally through the clothes.

Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, frowned and glanced at the other party, but didn't see anything unusual.

Everything is like an inadvertent movement.

The two children were sitting opposite them, and did not see the small movements between the adults.

Zhou Mo picked up a piece of chicken wing for Lin Shan, and she ate it quietly with her head down. The tender meat on the chicken wing was finished quickly, and she stared at the chicken wing with only the skeleton left.

Ning Caixuan looked up at Lin Shan, then naturally picked up the chicken wing bone with chopsticks and said, "Give it to me!"

As she spoke, she bit off the brittle bones at both ends of the chicken wings, and chewed them all in one go.

Lin Shan blushed and tilted her head to look at her, her eyes fell on the bones that Ning Caixuan had cleaned up, the moment she lowered her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, demure and moving.

She still remembers the habits between them.

The brittle bones were bitten by Ning Caixuan, and when she raised her head, she met the dumbfounded eyes of the two elders.She swallowed, and explained sheepishly, "Shanshan doesn't like crispy bones, but I just happen to like them, so don't waste them."

Zhou Mo: "Oh."

Lin Yuxi: "Oh."

The meal was a little embarrassing, Zhou Mo felt that she was fed a handful of dog food intentionally or unintentionally.

After the meal, Lin Shan originally planned to be in charge of washing the dishes, but was stopped by Lin Yuxi again.

"Mom is here now! You just take care of Xuanxuan." Lin Yuxi noticed the apologetic eyes of the two children as she spoke, raised her lips unconsciously, and comforted them with a smile, "Don't feel sorry, wait You are all right, I will not serve you!"

Lin Shan chuckled when she heard the words, she took Lin Yuxi's arm and acted coquettishly, "Yes, from now on, can I take care of my mother? We will live together forever." The words fell, and Lin Shan glanced at her inexplicably. Zhou Mo on the side smiled.

"Poor mouth!" Lin Yuxi pinched her daughter's nose, but deliberately ignored her last words.

After Lin Shan helped Ning Caixuan go back to the bedroom to rest, Zhou Mo helped Lin Yuxi take the bowl into the kitchen.

Lin Yuxi poured some dish soap on the dishwashing ball and said, "Put it there, I'll wash it."

"Let me help you!" Taking the bowl that Lin Yuxi had scrubbed, Zhou Mo took it to another sink to rinse.

Only the sound of swishing water and the clashing of bowls and chopsticks could be heard in the air.

"Do you like crispy bones?" Thinking of the interaction between the two children at the dinner table, Zhou Mo suddenly asked.

As if thinking of the intimate behavior between her daughter and Ning Caixuan, Lin Yuxi paused after scrubbing her hands, and said softly, "I don't like it."

Zhou Mo smiled when he heard the words, turned around and moved closer to her, with a smile on his lips, "I like it, next time you can give me the leftover bones."

Lin Yuxi: "..."
