Professor Lin's middle-aged love

On Wednesday, the teaching and research meeting ended, Lin Yuxi walked out of the meeting room with her notebook in her arms, and Han Yue called her.

Staring at the phone screen and shaking for a while, Lin Yuxi suddenly saw Zhou Mo's shadow in his mind.

Since she slapped him that night, she never saw Zhou Mo looking for her again.It was more like a whistling gust of wind between them, coming and going quickly.

Even the fate that was so delicate that it was not worth mentioning disappeared without a trace like a passing cloud.

It should have been like this between them, but the faint throbbing on the tip of her heart was fleeting, and Lin Yuxi didn't know how to describe that sad and absurd feeling.

"Hey, Miss Han!"

"Yuxi, are you done with your work? I just passed by the gate of your school, is it convenient to come out and sit?" Han Yue's voice was very gentle, and he treated Lin Yuxi as kindly as his own sister.

"Okay, I'll come out now." Lin Yuxi went back to the office to put down her things, and then left the school gate.

The two found a coffee shop near the school to sit down, and most of the people who came here were university students.

The setting sun sprinkled the dim yellow of the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the low-pitched and melodious music lingered melodiously in my ears.

"How did you feel about the last blind date?" Han Yue stirred the coffee in the cup, after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better for their current relationship to be straight to the point.

Lin Yuxi stroked the handle of the coffee cup with her slender fingers, and her eyes were deep, as if recalling the kiss that Zhou Mo landed on her neck that night.

That was the first time she had been kissed by a stranger in decades.Hot, hot, and sultry, for a moment, she really wanted to try a vigorous love without any scruples.

Even if it is bitter, at least she has experienced the taste of it.

"We're not suitable..." Lin Yuxi hesitated to speak.

"Why? She didn't like you, or you didn't like her?" Han Yue subconsciously leaned forward, his dark eyes flickering slightly.

Lin Yuxi clenched her lips, the fine lines around her eyes showed that she was no longer a young girl who could be reckless and high-spirited, she had her concerns, and she was helpless.

"Yuxi, I know you are very independent, you are trying to make yourself strong, you are desperate to keep Shanshan by your side to raise, you do everything you can to be a good mother and a good daughter." Han Yuebian While speaking, he sighed secretly, with worry on the corners of his eyes and brows, "But have you ever thought about it? Whether it is a daughter or a mother, they will leave you after all. At that time, you will be left alone. What will you do?" ?”

Han Yue's words were earnest, but they were extremely powerful, and he beat Lin Yuxi's heart every now and then.

"You have already passed your best youth, and you don't have many opportunities. I heard that Mr. Zhou is still single, a business owner, and has never been married. Such conditions, in the present, are a lot of small things. The girl and the boy leaned up. Yuxi..."

"Sister Han, I understand what you said, but... I have my own reasons. Besides, she is so good, why did she fall in love with me? After all, we are not the same people."

Lin Yuxi interrupted her, with a hint of humbleness between the lines, which made Han Yue feel very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but retort, "Why are you not a stranger? You are a dignified university professor who has never been married. Isn't it worthy of her?"

Lin Yuxi curled her lips into a smile, with bitterness hidden in the corner of her mouth, which was hidden by her in an instant.

Unwilling to continue this topic, Lin Yuxi turned the subject and said earnestly, "Sister Han, I will take Xuanxuan to the mountain to visit her grave on weekends, and I will ask you to take care of my mother when the time comes."

Every year on the day of my sister's death, my mother would suffer from a serious illness. Perhaps it was the root cause of my longing for her daughter.Afraid that her mother would be too sad when she arrived at the cemetery, Lin Yuxi was unwilling to take her there.

"Don't worry, I will help take care of auntie."

The weather on Saturday was exceptionally clear, with clear blue skies, clarity and tranquility.The breeze blew gently, leaving behind feather-like pale clouds, leisurely and slowly.

After getting out of the car, Lin Yuxi held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in her hands, put her arms around her daughter Lin Shan's shoulders, and walked towards her sister Lin Qingshu's grave.

Lin Shan wore a white T-shirt, blue overalls, and her long black hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked cute and cute.

Lin Yuxi looked down at the daughter in her arms, and the light in her eyes became a little gentler.After her sister died, the only thing she could do was to help her sister raise the child.Now that Lin Shan is an adult and has someone she likes, her sister should feel relieved.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he bumped into a woman with long hair and a shawl, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, a navy blue silk shirt, black straight-leg cropped pants, and a pair of high-heeled shoes.

The woman lowered her head, and when approaching Lin Yuxi's mother and daughter, she only nodded slightly at them, and then passed them by.

A faint cold fragrance filled the air, Lin Yuxi turned her head, looked at the woman's back, and frowned slightly.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Lin Shan followed Lin Yuxi's gaze and asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, let's go!" Lin Yuxi collected her thoughts, and walked forward with her daughter in her arms.

When the two came to Lin Qingshu's tomb, they immediately noticed the bunch of penis placed in front of the tombstone.Seemingly remembering the woman she ran into just now, Lin Yuxi subconsciously looked back, but the person had disappeared.

"Mom, has anyone been here?" Lin Shan asked while staring at the bundle of penis.

"I don't know, maybe it's my aunt's former friend!" Lin Yuxi came back to her senses, put Baiju aside, her eyes fell on the photo of her sister on the tombstone, and her mood was surging for a while.

After putting on the blessing incense, Lin Yuxi walked up to her daughter, reached out and stroked Lin Shan's cheek, and said softly, "Shanshan, kowtow three times to my aunt."

"Oh!" Lin Shan obediently responded, raised her foot and took a step forward, knelt down reverently, and the movement was done in one go.

Standing behind her, Lin Yuxi looked at her daughter, her eyes were slightly red, and she silently said to the photo on the tombstone: "Sister, Shanshan has grown up, she is very cute and sensible, have you seen it?"

***

The mother and daughter stayed in the cemetery until twelve noon before driving away. On the way, Lin Shan sat in the passenger seat and bowed her head to send Ning Caixuan a WeChat message with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Shanshan, what do you want for lunch?" Lin Yuxi raised her hand to look at her watch, thinking about going back to the laboratory after having lunch with her daughter.

"Mom, there is a new restaurant opened near the school. I have an appointment with Xuanxuan. Would you like to go with us to try it?" Lin Shan leaned sideways to Lin Yuxi's side, her round cheeks flushed, "Mom, you When you see Xuanxuan, can you not keep a cold face?"

Lin Yuxi raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter, "What? Did you feel distressed so soon?"

"Oh no, aren't you a professor? She's usually unsmiling, she's afraid of you!"

Lin Yuxi was taken aback, thinking of her usual appearance at school, she nodded slightly, "Okay, I promise you."

The black car drove slowly into a tree-lined path, and the sun shone through the dense leaves and cast shadows all over the ground.

When approaching the new restaurant, Lin Yuxi caught a glimpse of Zhou Mo standing with Ning Caixuan from the corner of her eye. She was wearing a simple black dress that reached above her knees, revealing her straight and fair long legs. A pair of high-heeled shoes perfectly set off the She is elegant and generous, casual and capable temperament.

Still so eye-catching.

Lin Yuxi's fingertips trembled suddenly, he squeezed the steering wheel, and subconsciously stepped on the brake lightly.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Leaning forward, Lin Shan reached out to hold the car window.

"Shanshan, Mom suddenly remembered that the school still has urgent matters to deal with, can you..."

"School is on holiday, what do you have to deal with now? Didn't you promise me?" Lin Shan was planning to ease the relationship between her mother and girlfriend at the dinner table, and wanted to give Ning Caixuan a "surprise".Imagining Ning Caixuan's face like a bitter melon when she saw her mother, Lin Shan couldn't help laughing.

Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at her daughter's expectant eyes, and swallowed the words of refusal on her lips.

The car parked steadily in the parking space in front of the restaurant. Lin Yuxi got out of the car and locked it. She didn't look up from the beginning to the end, until the two people on the opposite side walked over, and their burning eyes fell on her, forcing her to look up. meet.

"Hello, Professor Lin!" The expression on Ning Caixuan's face was unpredictable when she saw Lin Yuxi, but she still greeted Lin Yuxi obediently.

"Hello!" Lin Yuxi raised a beautiful arc, and responded with a gentle voice as much as possible.

"Professor Lin, long time no see!" Zhou Mo stretched out his hand to Lin Yuxi as he spoke, his gaze fell into her ink-like pupils without any deviation.

Hot and enthusiastic.

Lin Yuxi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she reached out her hand and shook it back symbolically, and then pulled it back hastily.

Looking at the empty palms, Zhou Mo smiled, "Since you're here, why don't Professor Lin have lunch with the children?"

Dining with Professor Lin?Like a bolt from the blue, Ning Caixuan suddenly raised her head to look at her aunt, her face twisted into a bun.

"Yeah, it's time for dinner anyway, why not come with us! I haven't sat down with my mother to have a good meal for a month." Because she lives on campus, Lin Shan can only go home almost once a month. There is not much time for mother and daughter to get together.

Seeing that Lin Shan was already walking towards the new restaurant with Lin Yuxi's arm in her arms, Ning Caixuan was stunned for a while, and then she recovered and followed with a mournful face.

The restaurant is in an antique Chinese style, simple and grand, with a faint fragrance in the air.

The four of them chose a relatively secluded place, because they were in front of their elders, the two children did not dare to sit together presumptuously, and chose places near the window to sit face to face.Zhou Mo took a look and sat down beside his niece Ning Caixuan.

In this way, Lin Yuxi could only sit opposite her.

The dishes are all chosen by the children, steamed black snapper, salt and pepper shrimp balls, boiled fat beef, chicken wings in soy sauce. Seeing that they are all meat dishes, Lin Yu added two more vegetarian dishes, boiled zucchini and stir-fried snow peas And a bamboo cane pork bone soup.

"Xuanxuan, don't always eat the ones in front of you. Try the salt and pepper shrimp balls. They taste very good." During the meal, Lin Yuxi saw that Ning Caixuan only sandwiched the boiled zucchini and fat beef in front of him, and the one in front of him She didn't even look at the shrimp balls, knowing that the child was still a little afraid of herself, so she used the serving chopsticks to pick some up for Ning Caixuan.

"Thank you, Professor Lin!" Ning Caixuan raised her head, her round eyes staring like copper bells.

Seeing her cute appearance, Lin Yuxi couldn't help laughing, "You're welcome, outside of school, you can call me auntie."

Simply flattered, Ning Caixuan nodded her head like a slap in the face, obediently as if she had changed into a different person.

Zhou Mo watched from the side, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Xuanxuan, Professor Lin is not an outsider, just be yourself. You... are really not suitable for playing the role of a good girl, and it's against harmony no matter how you look at it."

Ning Caixuan's cheeks flushed completely when she heard the words, she gritted her teeth and stared at the aunt who dismantled her, wishing she could run away violently.

The mother and daughter on the opposite side looked at the actions of the two, and they all raised their lips and chuckled. For a while, the stagnant atmosphere at the table eased a lot.

The gazes of Lin Yuxi and Zhou Mo met again unexpectedly in the air, and the smile froze on her cheeks for an instant. She lowered her eyelashes to avoid the other's eyes, as if in this way, her heart would not beat uncontrollably.

Absently holding the rice in the bowl, something seemed to rub against her calf suddenly, once or twice, Lin Yuxi's hand holding the chopsticks froze, along her neck, a blush was visible to the naked eye on her cheeks.

She raised her head, and unexpectedly bumped into Zhou Mo's scorching eyes.
