After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

When Duoduo was eighteen years old, she met a man she fell in love with at first sight.

Lu Huainan.

He is a specially appointed professor of the school and has just returned from abroad.

Lu Huainan is tall and slender with an elegant temperament. He wears a pair of black-framed glasses on his handsome face, and his eyes behind the lenses are dark and deep.

He always wears a well-tailored shirt and suit trousers. His every move is gentle and elegant, and his voice is deep and magnetic when he lectures.

So much so that most of the girls in the school have a secret crush on him.

However, Professor Lu has a very clean private life and never gets close to women. Even during all the time he has been at the school, there has not been any romantic scandal involving him.

The first time Duoduo saw him in an open class, she fell uncontrollably in love with him, her heart pounding.

But she didn't dare to show her girlish thoughts at all, and she forced them down in the deepest part of her heart.

Duoduo didn't think about anything happening between her and Professor Lu. She just had a secret crush on him and would occasionally gossip about him with her good female classmates.

She thought that she and Lu Huainan would never have any interaction except in class.

But I didn't expect fate to come so suddenly.

Duoduo made an appointment with a female classmate to go shopping at a big store outside the school.

It was just that the other party had something urgent to do and stood me up.

Duoduo had no choice but to go to the big store alone and buy a red dress.

She walked to school happily in her new skirt.

There is a dark alley near the school. Duoduo feels uneasy every time she passes by it.

This time when she passed by, the uneasiness in her heart became even stronger.

"Wow, there is such a beauty hidden in the school, why didn't I find it before?"

"The little beauty is so delicate, it must be fun to bully her."

A few gangsters with colorful hair stepped forward and stopped Duoduo.

They were all ruffians, looking Duoduo up and down with lustful eyes and laughing obscenely.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Duoduo had never encountered such a scene before, and was frightened by their ferocious eyes and turned pale.

She held onto the backpack strap tightly and subconsciously tried to run away, but they caught up with her in two or three steps and surrounded her.

"Little beauty, how about playing with your brothers for a while?"

"Don't worry, the brothers are easy to get along with. We just want to invite you to have something to eat."

"Don't be afraid, little sister. The brothers will treat you well."

The men exchanged glances and approached with ill intentions.

"I don't want to play with you guys, please get out of the way, I want to go back to school."

She raised her voice and tried to call for help.

"You stupid girl, you have no shame, come at me together!"

Seeing that Duoduo refused to submit, their faces changed instantly and they pounced on her to attack her.

"help me!"

Duoduo screamed in fear, and the next second they covered her mouth.

She struggled desperately but to no avail. When she was about to despair, footsteps suddenly appeared.

"I've called the police. You'd better get out of here before they get here."

It’s Lu Huainan.

Duoduo widened her eyes in surprise.

In her memory, Lu Huainan was gentle and elegant, but now he was no longer as gentle as usual. His eyes were cold and full of warning.

A few hooligans were wavering. Lu Huainan looked down at his watch and added: "You don't have much time left."

As soon as he finished speaking, several thugs dared not stay any longer and fled in panic.

"Classmate, are you okay?"

After Lu Huainan dealt with those thugs, he turned around and looked at Duoduo gently.

At that moment, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped him, giving him a layer of light golden light.

Duoduo stared at his back in a daze, her heart completely lost.

She blushed so much that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lu Huainan thought she was frightened and touched her head soothingly, "It's okay, I've already dealt with them all."

What hit her face was the faint smell of laundry detergent on his body, which was clean and pleasant. Duoduo felt like a shrimp that was about to be cooked.

"Professor Lu...Professor Lu, I'm fine." She waved her hands cautiously and stammered.

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll take you back to school. Remember to be careful next time you go out."

His every frown and smile was like a spring breeze. Duoduo blushed and nodded, not knowing what to do with her shy hands and feet.

Lu Huainan sent her to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory before leaving.

From that day on, Duoduo had a goal, she wanted to pursue Professor Lu.

In order to become better, Duoduo studied all night long every day, and finally won a scholarship at the end of the semester.

She plucked up her courage and found Lu Huainan with joy.

He had just come out of the teaching building and saw her suddenly appear, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Professor Lu, I have something to talk to you about!"

She was so nervous that her whole body was shaking, but she still took the first step bravely.

"what's up?"

Lu Huainan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke in confusion.

"I've liked you for a long time, can you try to date me?"

Duoduo used all her strength to hand him the love letter that she had been holding for too long.

Lu Huainan frowned slightly, looking at the young and immature girl in front of him. A trace of throbbing flashed through his heart, but reason told him that Duoduo was still too young.

"Duoduo, you are still too young. I hope you can focus on your studies and consider relationships when you grow up."

After some hesitation, he rejected her.

Duoduo was struck by lightning. She had been looking for various opportunities to hang around in front of him these days.

She thought he at least had a good impression of her, but now it seems that she was just being wishful thinking.

Duoduo covered her face in shame and ran away. She packed her things and left the school.

For several days, she had no interest in going to school at all. She was depressed and completely lost motivation.

Shen Li couldn't bear to see her risking her life for a man.

She forcibly pulled Duoduo out of bed and dragged her to go jogging.

"You are feeling so uncomfortable because you have too many unrealistic thoughts in your mind. I must help you regain consciousness."

Shen Li was so confident that Duoduo had no way of refusing.

The two ran along the river near the school for several laps before stopping panting.

"Look, you're fine now, aren't you? Don't keep feeling sad over someone who's not worth it."

Shen Li tried her best to persuade Duoduo.

Only then did Duoduo regain her spirits.

"Mom, you're right. Men are not worth my sadness. I want to become stronger."

Duoduo clenched her fists firmly and made up her mind that she must make a name for herself in the world.

Only then could he realize the fact that she was not a little girl who had not grown up.

After resting, Duoduo returned to school. As soon as she got back, she applied to become an exchange student to study abroad.

She didn't want to see him every day anymore. Once she saw him, the confidence she had just built up would instantly become a mess.

What Duoduo actually didn’t know was the day she left school.

Lu Huainan stood in the distance, watching her silently, until her figure disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze.

He felt empty inside, and a sense of loss he had never experienced before came over him.
