Beauty and the Professor

On the way back, Mu Mu kept crying silently in the car, trembling in Lu Yun's arms, Lu Yun coaxed her softly, her eyes were full of tears because of her distress.

Ye Zhun sat on the co-pilot in front and looked back at the two worriedly, knowing that the little guy remembered the scene when those people came to collect debts in the past.

Two years ago, Feng Zhe not only took away the funds from the bar, but also borrowed money from many people outside Lu Yun's back. After he died in an accidental car accident, the debt collectors came to Lu Yun.

At that time, Mu Mu was only two years old, and Lu Yun did not go to work to take care of him, and became a full-time housewife.At that time, Feng Zhe had taken all the money in the family, and the debt collectors couldn't get the money, so they came to collect debts every day. In addition to splashing paint on the door of Lu Yun's house, they even smashed the things in the house, and the methods were extremely bad. , so much so that it left a great shadow in the heart of Mu Mu who was only two years old.

Back at Lu Yun's house, Lu Yun finally put Mu Mu to sleep, closed the door gently, and said to Ye Zhun and Chu Yan in the living room, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"Don't say that." Ye Zhun handed her the hot water he poured just now, and asked with concern, "Is Mumu feeling better?"

"It's much better." Lu Yun took a few sips of water, remembered what the woman said just now, and looked at Ye Zhun apologetically, "It's the sister-in-law's family who is sorry for you."

Ye Zhun frowned: "You don't need to pay attention to her words."

"She's right." Lu Yun shook her head. Their family really owed Ye Zhun a lot, not just money, but also favors.

At that time, her husband Feng Zhe and Ye Zhun jointly opened a bar, and the business has been good. Ye Zhun lived alone, and occasionally came to her house for dinner. The relationship between the two is very friendly.

At that time, Lu Yun never imagined that her gentle and honest husband would do such a bold and reckless thing.

Feng Zhe did not know when he became addicted to drugs. He was so obsessed that he used the bar as a base to sell drugs to others.

When Feng Zhe's drug smuggling failed, Ye Zhun happened to go abroad to inspect the goods at the winery. Feng Zhe took the opportunity to empty out the remaining funds in the bar. Unexpectedly, he encountered a series of car accidents on the way to escape, and the car crashed on the spot. Unknowingly, Ye Zhun faced police arrest on the first day he returned from abroad.

"After all, we are sorry for you." Lu Yun looked at him with a wry smile. She said this sentence for two years, not just talking, but really felt that she was sorry for Ye Zhun.

"I don't care anymore, what do you keep remembering?" Ye Zhun persuaded her when she saw that she was bringing up the old matter again, "Besides, you have been paying back the money all the time, just pay it off."

"The money can be paid off, but some things are not cleared." Lu Yun sighed, "If you weren't willing to give me a hand back then, maybe I would really have jumped off the top floor with Mumu in my arms."

At that time, Feng Zhe died in a car crash, and before Lu Yun finished taking care of his affairs, the creditor came to collect the debt. She was worried every night that someone would knock on the door, and every morning when she woke up, she was afraid that the door would be splashed with paint again. The other party made such a big fuss that even the people in the community knew what happened to their house. As soon as she went out, she felt that everyone was pointing fingers. Mu Mu was so frightened twice by the debt collectors that she couldn't even cry The overwhelming pressure crushed her whole body, and she almost jumped off the building with Mumu in her arms.

If Ye Zhun hadn't stopped her at that time, there would be no one like her in the world.

Ye Zhun not only paid back the money for her, but also helped Mumu find a doctor for her. When everyone was avoiding their family like a snake, Ye Zhun, one of the victims, was the one who helped her the most.

She has always remembered this kindness.

"Don't, if you really jumped, wouldn't I lose my sister-in-law and godson? I'm thankful." Ye Zhun tried to lighten the atmosphere with a joke, but seeing that she was still worried, he said, "Besides, Don’t you have a good life now? You have a son, a job, you don’t need to rely on anyone, and you survived the most difficult time, why should you care about the words of those irrelevant people now.”

Lu Yun was silent, but Chu Yan who was on the side looked at him in surprise.

During the time the two were together, Ye Zhun was mostly joking, and this was the first time Chu Yan saw him say such things so seriously.

Seeing that Lu Yun didn't respond much to Ye Zhun's reassurance, Chu Yan also said aloud: "Ye Zhun is right, although I don't know what happened to you, but the mouth grows on others, if you have to care about every word , then life is too tiring.”

"Look, sister-in-law, even Professor Chu, who is a model teacher, said so, so don't take it to heart."

Lu Yun smiled, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said to the two of them, "I know, you don't have to worry, I wanted to thank you all, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

"Don't say polite words, the main thing now is to take good care of Mumu." Ye Zhun was afraid that she would go into the wrong place again, so he interrupted her quickly, reminding her to focus on the frightened child now.

Chu Yan didn't understand the reason of the matter, and couldn't say much, after a word of persuasion, he just stood quietly aside.

The room was quiet, and after a while, Lu Yun nodded slowly, expressing that she understood.

Coming out of Lu Yun's house, Chu Yan drove back. Ye Zhun sat next to him, and rarely took the initiative to chat, but leaned on the seat with a flat expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Stop." Ye Zhun said suddenly.

Chu Yan pulled over and stopped the car, turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhun pointed to a milk tea shop that just passed by and said, "I want to drink milk tea, do you want it?"

"I don't drink, you sit down, I'll buy it for you." Chu Yan opened the car door and got out of the car to buy milk tea for him.

"Ice!" Ye Zhun rolled down the car window behind him and called out to his back.

Chu Yan didn't look back, but raised his hand and waved to show that he knew.

When Chu Yan bought the milk tea, he saw Ye Zhun got out of the car and stood beside the car, with one hand in his pocket and the other hanging by his leg, with a lit cigarette between his fingertips.

Chu Yan remembered that the last time Ye Zhun came back from his hometown and when he was drunk at the bar, he smelled of cigarettes, mixed with the smell of alcohol, which was very obvious. He was not sure whether Ye Zhun smoked or not, because the other party was with him I never smoked it when I was there, this is the first time.

The footsteps slowed down unconsciously, and Chu Yan saw him lower his head, put the cigarette between his fingers to his lips and inhale, the white smoke slowly exhaled blurred his face.

Chu Yan doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, and he doesn't smoke himself, but at the moment he feels that Ye Zhun, who is smoking with his head slightly lowered, is indescribably attractive.

Lonely, tired, indifferent.

Several different emotions mixed in his body, forming a strong tension, which was different from the previous flamboyant and wanton appearance.

Chu Yan suddenly felt that Ye Zhun was not as careless as he had seen. There were more things in his heart that he hadn't touched. Perhaps combining them together was the real him. None of him is complete.

Ye Zhun was halfway through smoking, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Yan walking towards him, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand. When he got closer, he found that the other party's gaze fell on the cigarette in his hand, and there was a slight twitch between his brows.

The two have known each other for so long, and Ye Zhun has never seen Chu Yan smoking, and he has not even seen a cigarette case at home. He guesses that Chu Yan does not smoke, and probably does not like others to smoke.

The two looked at each other, Ye Zhun shook the cigarette in his hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while, just this time."

As he said that, he was about to walk to the trash can to put out the smoke.

Seeing that Ye Zhun didn't play tricks like usual, and didn't pull him around to trick him, but simply and directly apologized to himself, which made Chu Yan a little unaccustomed.

He remembered what happened at the restaurant today, and what Lu Yun said to Ye Zhun today. Although he didn't know the whole story, he also got some news from it, that is, Ye Zhun once opened a bar, but was troubled by his friends. , Not only did the bar close down, but he was also taken away by the police and detained.

And these things he knew nothing about, Ye Zhun never mentioned them.

Chu Yan walked over, took Ye Zhun's hand that wanted to put out the cigarette, met Ye Zhun's surprised eyes, and said, "You are allowed to smoke once."

Noticing the slight tolerance in Chu Yan's tone, Ye Zhun's heart seemed to be suddenly held by the hand of the man in front of him, with incredible tenderness.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He chuckled and said, "Okay, professor."

Ye Zhun finished smoking while standing on the side of the road, and waited for the smell of cigarettes on his body to dissipate a little before getting into the car.

Chu Yan inserted a straw into the milk tea and handed it to him: "I'm not sure what flavor you like, I bought the original flavor."

"I like the original flavor." Ye Zhun took the milk tea and took a big sip.

Hearing this, Chu Yan raised the corners of her lips slightly, showing a faint smile, and started the car to go home.

Back at Chu Yan's house, Ye Zhun received a call from Lu Yun as soon as he entered the house, asking if he and Chu Yan had arrived home.

"Just arrived." Ye Zhun held the phone in one hand while bending over to untie his shoelace with one hand.

Seeing this, Chu Yan, who had changed his shoes next to him, squatted down to help him untie his shoelaces.

Ye Zhun supported his shoulder with one hand, took off his shoes, and put on the slippers he handed to his feet.

Lu Yun just called to confirm whether the two had arrived home. When he heard that he had said it, she told her to go to bed early and hung up the phone.

Ye Zhun threw the phone on the sofa, touched Xiao Wu on the sofa, and then went to the room to get clothes for a bath.

When he came out of the shower, Chu Yan had already washed himself. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a notebook on his lap, as if he was working.

Seeing him come out, Chu Yan put the notebook aside and beckoned him to pass.

Ye Zhun walked up to him, handed him the towel just like last night, sat down next to him, lowered his head, and felt the other person's fingers passing through his hair, gently plucking his hair.

After helping Ye Zhun wipe his hair, Chu Yan applied ointment for the wound on his forehead, and said, "Let's have a chat."

"Huh?" Ye Zhun looked up at him upon hearing this.

"What happened tonight, if you want." Chu Yan looked at him and said, "Let's talk."
