On the day Lin Yuxi returned to school, she went to the principal's office first, explained the reason for her request for leave, and hoped that the principal could keep her secret for the time being.Principal Feng is a reasonable old man, and he has always valued Lin Yuxi very much, so she didn't take much effort in asking for leave this time.

Although she had just taken a vacation because of the cyber turmoil, this time it was different, and the principal quickly approved it.

Returning to the laboratory building from the principal's office, Lin Yuxi was greeted with cheers from the students as soon as she stepped into the classroom. She was still very relieved in her heart, and there was always a gentle smile on her lips.

Because during the time she was not in school, other professors helped to substitute for the class, so the progress of the course did not fall behind.

When the class was over, Lin Yuxi deliberately stayed for a while longer, indicating that if the students had unresolved problems, they could come to her or send her an email.

She has always been rigorous and serious about her work.

She doesn't want her students' studies to be affected because of her personal reasons, especially those who are about to enter the competition.

It was around twelve o'clock at noon, and it was about time for Lin Shan to finish class. Lin Yuxi called her daughter and asked her to ask Ning Caixuan to go to a restaurant in the school for dinner.

Because she has been living in school, Lin Shan has not seen her mother for some time. When the three of them sat down in the private room of the restaurant, Lin Shan looked happy.

"Mom, you're finally back. I was worried about the video a while ago. Fortunately, there is Aunt Zhou Mo." Lin Shan picked up the porcelain white teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Lin Yuxi, and said with a smile.

Hearing her daughter mention Zhou Mo, Lin Yuxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly.She looked sideways at the female Lin Shan, and her plain face highlighted her delicate and smooth skin, like an egg with its shell peeled off, and the dimple on her cheek became deeper because of the corners of her raised lips. .

Lin Yuxi pulled her lips and smiled softly, her beautiful eyes seemed to be rubbed into soft light and shadow when looking at her daughter, she raised her hand to brush away a few strands of hair from her daughter's cheeks, and said in a warm voice: "The video thing... scared you? "

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm worried. After all, online public opinion is like an invisible knife. There are not a few people who have been hurt by online violence. I'm mainly worried about you." Lin Shan sipped her tea and said solemnly.

Lin Yuxi looked at her daughter intently, and was pleased with her thoughtfulness.

Sure enough, my daughter is as warm as a little padded jacket.

Looking at Ning Caixuan who was sitting next to her daughter without saying a word, Lin Yuxi smiled and asked, "Where is Xuanxuan, how is your schoolwork doing recently?"

In front of Professor Lin, Ning Caixuan was always reserved, with her legs close together, sitting in a well-behaved manner, "Fortunately, I was lost for a while after losing the competition."

Taking a sip of tea, Lin Yuxi said calmly: "There will still be opportunities. What you have to do now is to sum up experience and analyze existing problems. If you don't understand, you can come to me directly."

Having said that, Lin Yuxi remembered that she often received emails from students asking questions, but Ning Caixuan had never seen them.

"You... don't seem to like to ask questions very much, have you mastered everything?"

Before Ning Caixuan could respond, Lin Shan had already answered for her: "She is embarrassed to find you."

Lin Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at Ning Caixuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and asked, "Why? Are you afraid of me?"

Ning Caixuan blushed with embarrassment. In fact, there were many reasons. In the past, she was a little afraid of her.But now, it's more because of Lin Shan.

She cleared her throat, and when she was about to explain, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a waiter came over to serve the food.The first dish was spicy chicken. Ning Caixuan frowned when she saw the plate full of red peppers, "Aren't you angry? Why do you still eat such spicy food?"

Lin Shan said nonchalantly: "It's okay to eat once in a while." She picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick them up, but was stopped by Ning Caixuan.

"Wait a moment."

She took a clean porcelain bowl, poured half a bowl of water into it, and found a few pieces of chicken nuggets with meat from the plate of fiery red peppers, rinsed them in the bowl, and then put the chicken nuggets in the bowl. To Lin Shan, "Eat."

Looking down at the chicken nuggets without seasoning, Lin Shan couldn't help frowning, "Is this still spicy chicken?"

"It must be spicy, if you don't believe me, try it."

Lin Yuxi watched their interaction with warm eyes, and couldn't help but frown.

She made an appointment for the operation in Chengzhou City, and she chose it after some consideration.She can't be discharged after staying in the hospital for a day or two, and she needs to undergo chemotherapy after the operation. Calculated in this way, the time required is not short.In this city, it is easy to expose whereabouts.

Before leaving, she was most worried about her daughter and mother. Seeing that Lin Shan was taken care of so well by Ning Caixuan, she felt relieved.

"I'm going to buy a cup of milk tea, Mom, Xuanxuan, eat first." Lin Shan stood up and walked out the door. Lin Yuxi turned around and tried to stop her, "Don't drink milk tea all the time, it's bad for your body. not good."

"I don't drink often." The voice came from afar.

Lin Yuxi sighed helplessly, only she and Ning Caixuan were left in the private room for a while, and the scene was a bit cold for a moment.

Lin Yuxi glanced sideways, and when her gaze met hers, Ning Caixuan smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Xuanxuan, I can trust you, right?" Lin Yuxi suddenly opened her mouth, her voice sounded in the empty room, Ning Caixuan raised her head, a little stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"I mean Shanshan, will you treat her...will you always be like this?" Lin Yuxi was still a little worried, just like a warning before parting.

"Of course." Ning Caixuan sat upright in an instant, raised her head and looked at Lin Yuxi with a firm gaze, "I am sincere to Shanshan, no matter life, old age, sickness or death, I will never leave."

Birth, old age, sickness and death.Lin Yuxi repeated the word in her heart, and was dazed for a moment.

As if she was afraid that Professor Lin would not believe her, Ning Caixuan bit her lip and hesitated for a while, before mustering up the courage to say: "Professor Lin, if you don't believe me, you can watch my performance in the future."

Lin Yuxi reached out and stroked her head, a tulip-like smile bloomed on her lips, "I believe that your words... are said after careful consideration, and I also believe that you can do it."

Ning Caixuan nodded, and noticed Lin Yuxi's slightly drooping eyes, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and her beautiful side face seemed to be carefully drawn with a brush, so exquisite that it was almost perfect.

By accident, Ning Caixuan moved to Lin Yuxi's side, and said tentatively, "Professor Lin, actually... Auntie treats you the same way."

"Huh?" Lin Yuxi didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention Zhou Mo, and looked at her with slightly hot cheeks, and saw the other party continue to say: "My aunt said that love is not just a passion, but also a promise." .A promise that we can stand together through thick and thin and never give up.”

"She really said that?" Lin Yuxi murmured, as if thinking of something, curled up her hands under the table.

"Yes, you are the first person I've seen who made my aunt so caring. So, you must also trust my aunt."

Ning Caixuan's tone was extremely sincere, and Lin Yuxi couldn't help but take a deep look at her, "You seem... to be more stable than Shanshan." Just like a young adult, even my auntie's feelings are also worried about.

Not knowing if this was considered a compliment, Ning Caixuan scratched her head in embarrassment, "It's okay, but Shanshan...is really like a child who can't grow up."

She glanced at Lin Yuxi and added, "At least in front of me."

Lin Yuxi stared at her, and could see that the two children really loved each other.Because only in front of the person she likes, Shanshan will show her soft side.Acting like a baby, she used to only do it to herself, but now... It seems that there is another Ning Caixuan.

His eyes were gentle again, Lin Yuxi put the back of his right hand against his cheek, and said jokingly: "From then on... it's hard work for you to be more tolerant of Shanshan."

Ning Caixuan: "That's natural, Professor Lin can rest assured."

Lin Yuxi nodded in relief, another stone fell to the ground, and her frowning eyebrows finally relaxed.

***

After the meal, before leaving, Lin Yuxi told her daughter that she was going to another place to attend the exchange meeting and other work matters, and she might not be able to come back in the past one or two months.Lin Shan felt sad when she heard this, but she could understand that her mother had been abroad for longer than this before.

"Why don't you come to live with me at the end of next weekend?" Ning Caixuan touched her nose and asked her with a tilted head.

"I won't go, it will be troublesome for your mother to find out." Lin Shan refused, kicked the stones on the ground with her toes, feeling lost.

"I won't go home at the end of that month either, I will stay with you at school."

"Of course not, Auntie rarely comes home..."

"Ning Caixuan." Someone called her from behind, and Ning Caixuan turned her head. She was a member of the Literature and Art Department of the Student Union. Although they were not in the same department, they would always meet each other in meetings, and became acquainted with each other after many times.

"what's up?"

"Oh, here is a painting that He Qi asked me to draw for her a few days ago. Aren't you in the same laboratory? Could you please pass it on to her for me?"

After taking the painting, Ning Caixuan nodded, "Okay, no problem."

"Thank you then."

When the man walked away, Ning Caixuan looked down at the sketch in her hand, it was a portrait of a woman.

A round face, deep eyebrows, under the straight bridge of the nose, the two lips of moderate thickness are extremely attractive.There is also a tear-like mole at the end of the eye, which is very vivid.

"Who is this?" Lin Shan narrowed her eyes and stared at the woman in the painting. She seemed to have never seen it before in her impression. Judging by her temperament, she should be much older than them.

"do not know."

After putting away the drawing paper, the two walked towards the laboratory building. When they reached the second floor, they happened to meet He Qi who was walking down. He Qi looked a bit lonely.

Ning Caixuan subconsciously shouted, and seeing that it was them, He Qi smiled stiffly, "Hi, Senior Sister."

"Your painting, just met a classmate from the literature and art department on the road, and asked me to pass the painting to you."

After receiving the painting, He Qi's originally dull eyes lit up, and she touched the tear mole of the woman in the painting with her fingertips, fascinated.

On the night of their roommate's birthday, they chose a relatively high-end bar in the urban area to celebrate.That night, she accidentally saw a woman sitting alone in a corner, wearing a white chiffon shirt, a black slim waist skirt and a calf-wrapped hip skirt, revealing her fair ankles.

The woman's clear and bright eyes, the slightly raised eye ends, her icy demeanor is like a snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain, or a flawless white rose, which makes her want to stop.

As if noticing her fiery gaze, the woman glanced sideways, glanced at her coldly, and then stared down at the glass of red wine in her hand.

He Qi's heart was pounding, she loved mature women or something.

When she returned to school that night, she asked a classmate from the art department to draw the woman according to her description.

Not to mention, the painting is really similar.

There was another wave in He Qi's heart, vaguely looking forward to something.

***

After seeing her daughter, Lin Yuxi rushed to the coffee shop to meet Han Yue again. She had nothing to hide from this old sister, and told the other party the truth.

After hearing the bad news, Han Yue couldn't hold back, and wept uncontrollably, "Why do you think your life is so hard? It's so hard..."

Han Yue's words choked up at the edge of her mouth, she couldn't continue, and she trembled with distress just thinking about it.Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, she asked with red eyes, "When are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow." In contrast, Lin Yuxi was much calmer than her, and she had already done enough psychological construction these days.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, she can only accept it.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Han Yue was kind to Lin Yuxi for no reason. When her husband was seriously ill, she borrowed money from relatives and failed to collect the money. It was Lin Yuxi who helped her. Han Yue always kept the kindness in his heart.

Lin Yuxi looked sideways at the willow branches fluttering in the wind outside the window, and the leaves with holes were falling down alone, extremely sad and desolate.

"Help me take care of my mother. I hired a nanny for her, but it's not the 24-hour one. I only go there during the day to help with some housework." Lin Yuxi's voice was quiet, without any ups and downs.

Han Yue glanced at her, his white jaw drooped slightly, and his brows were tinged with loneliness.Her eyes fell on Lin Yuxi's thin and thin shoulders, which carried too heavy a burden, that's why she pretended to be strong.

Even when he learned that he was seriously ill, he was still so calm that it made people feel distressed.

In my impression, Lin Yuxi had never cried in front of her.

Han Yue sighed deeply, his eyes were red again, he choked up and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my aunt. You also have to take care of yourself and come back safely."

"Well, I will." With her fingernails sunk into her palm, Lin Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled at her, her eyes calm and firm.

She will come back safely.

***

Coming out of the cafe, Lin Yuxi didn't drive, she walked along the tree-lined path all the way to the park.For work and family, she never took time out to experience life, and every day seemed to be pushed away.

Walking by the lake, the golden sun shines on my body, and I can vaguely feel some warmth.The surface of the lake is sparkling, with layers of ripples gently swaying in the breeze, sparkling with finely divided light.

Lin Yuxi took a deep breath, and the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingered in her nose, and her tense nerves were instantly relaxed.

The steps under her feet were slow and heavy. She raised her head and noticed two gray-haired old men walking towards her.The man was sitting in a wheelchair, and the woman was standing behind him pushing him, leaning over to talk to his wife from time to time, their faces pressed together, with happy smiles on their faces.

Lin Yuxi was a little moved, she stared at them without blinking, and Ning Caixuan's words echoed in her ears.

Staring tremblingly at the two old men accompanying the prime minister, Lin Yuxi clenched her fingertips.Every white hair on their heads and every smile on their faces bears their own stories, and every hardship they go through together seems to strengthen their emotional bond.

Lin Yuxi thought about it, sighed, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards the parking area.

The clouds in her heart gradually disappeared, and the knot that had been entangled with her seemed to be untied in an instant.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when she went home to prepare dinner for Zhou Mo. She carried the thermos bucket and went downstairs. When she got into the car, her hand holding the steering wheel was still shaking.

The author has something to say: First of all, I want to apologize. There were a few comments that were not displayed in the background yesterday. I only found out when I looked back at the comment area, sorry.Then I found out that there are some comments in the background, but I can't see them in the comment area, which is so strange.

Well, Professor Lin is leaving soon.Hug her, cheers.

Regarding the woman in the painting, for your convenience to guess, my description of her has not changed. Have you guessed who it is?He Qi, do you remember who it is?The name has appeared many times, and my first appearance was miserable enough.I suddenly forgot to describe her appearance, wouldn't that be bad?

When I was tired, I watched Douyin. I like Yongmei so much. I want to write an article about the gentle and virtuous mother and daughter’s classmate. It is the role played by Yongmei in the TV series. She is too gentle.That woman is bewitchingly beautiful. (I don’t know if this is considered a taboo, should I write it?)
