Professor Lin's middle-aged love

Gu Yunan's words were still echoing in his ears, Zhou Mo squeezed the steering wheel subconsciously to prevent losing control, "Thank you, Gu Yunan, I haven't settled with you for Nie Hanyin's matter yet?" Nie Hanyin is Gu Yu The girlfriend Nan introduced to her, when Gu Yunan saw her as a freshly graduated female college student, with a pure and lovely appearance, like a little sheep, but never thought she was a wolf that couldn't get enough to feed.

Of course, Zhou Mo is also responsible for this.Zhou Mo only had her first love at the age of 27. She didn’t know how to get along with her lover. She thought that satisfying each other’s material needs in everything was infinite love. She gave Nie Hanyin more material things than company. This may be the real reason for her cheating .

No one wants their lover to work overtime on Valentine's Day.

Zhou Mo also knew the truth, and the breakup was smooth, but at that time she felt that the relationship was more of a burden, which distracted her a lot of energy.

"Yes... I was blind and saw the wrong person, but this time I think it's right!" Gu Yunan said in cooperation with her.

"How reliable?"

"I can't explain clearly in a few words on the phone. I'll let you introduce me when you come."

Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo heard the other party's upturned voice, couldn't help but smile along with him, tapped the accelerator, and soon, the car disappeared at the end of the asphalt road.

The izakaya is located in a secluded courtyard, separated by small wooden houses, with quiet green bamboos outside the window, and a stream flowing in the courtyard, which has a special flavor.

Zhou Mo pushed open the door under the guidance of the waiter, and at a glance saw the "Genghis Khan BBQ" being roasted on the table. The hat-like pot was filled with mutton, corn, onions, carrots and other vegetables, gurgling and bubbling. Soak, sometimes delicious soup overflows.

"I know you're coming soon, so I've already prepared the dishes you want to eat." Seeing Zhou Mo coming in, Gu Yunan waved to her, picked up a spoon and scooped up a bowl of soup for Zhou Mo.

The two chatted while eating, and the conversation went from the south of the city to the north of the city. Seeing that Gu Yunan was still not getting to the point, Zhou Mo put down his chopsticks and asked, "It's not about talking about the blind date, what are you doing so much foreshadowing? "

Gu Yunan smiled at her, and gave her another piece of sushi, "Isn't it because you are afraid that you won't want to meet? This time it's really reliable."

Gu Yunan is one year older than Zhou Mo, but she also married late. She just got married the year before last and gave birth to a baby last year. After giving birth, she didn't deliberately lose weight. Her round face made her complexion much more tender. woman" charm.

After all, they are good girlfriends. After they have a home, they feel the warmth of becoming a monk. When they come home from get off work, they can have a lover waiting and accompanying them, as well as a lovely son. Gu Yunan also wants Zhou Mo to experience this kind of happiness.

Gu Yunan raised her eyes and stared at Zhou Mo, her eyes were clear, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her fair skin was slightly pink, like a lotus in water, but not weak like Xiaojiabiyu.

Zhou Mo's facial features are extremely majestic, as delicate as if they have been carefully carved.

Sensing Gu Yunan's gaze, Zhou Mo raised his hand to touch his cheek, and asked, "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my face?"

Gu Yunan smiled, "I didn't see anything, I just thought you are such a beauty, it's a pity that you haven't really felt the nourishment of love in your 30s." Saying this, Gu Yunan raised her eyebrows and dragged her with one hand With her chin raised, she intentionally put on a shy coquettish attitude: "If I hadn't been married, I would really want to have you in my pocket."

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, knowing that she was joking with him, he raised his hand to refuse, "Stop, I'm not interested in a man/wife, let alone a straight girl."

Gu Yunan stopped laughing in time and got back to business, "To be honest, do you have any standards for your partner? For example, age, education, etc."

"There's no standard, don't be too young, just too naive." Zhou Mo replied casually.

"That's a mature woman?" Gu Yunan followed her words and asked: "Then do you like the flirtatious/sexy ones? Or the more restrained ones? Rich women or educated ones?"

Zhou Mo felt harsh when she heard her words, and couldn't help retorting, "Do you think I can handle the coquettish one?" At the end, she added, "I am the boss myself, and I will find a rich woman to talk to on the bed. Is it business?"

Gu Yunan sneered and understood, "Then the person I introduced to you can't be more suitable. He is mature and restrained, highly educated, and a good wife and mother. He will marry one and give one away."

Zhou Mo keenly grasped the last few words, and raised his head suddenly, "What do you mean? Have a child?"

Zhou Mo felt that he had never been married after all, and he still hoped that the other party would be the same as him.But if the two are really happy, these troubles will not be an obstacle.

"Don't make such a big reaction, the child is not hers, but her sister's. My friend didn't go into details about the specific reasons, but also specifically asked, no matter whether it is successful or not, don't publicize it. Listen to me A friend means that she is the only one who knows about it except the other party's family."

The soup in the pot was still tumbling, Gu Yunan turned down the heat a bit, and continued: "My friend also heard about your conditions, and she told the truth because she was afraid that you would look down on her friend. An exception for the first time."

It sounded like a woman with good conduct, but Zhou Mo still hesitated, "Can I not go?"

She was still somewhat resistant in her heart. She had been dragged on blind dates too many times before, and she had never felt tempted.

Many friends around her advised her that at this age, what more could she ask for?Finding a down-to-earth person with decent conditions to get married and settle down early is a big deal.

She thought so too, but she was a little bit unwilling after all.

"Then obediently obey your father and marry your well-matched childhood sweetheart."

"Then let's go on a blind date!" Thinking of her so-called childhood sweetheart Joyner, Zhou Mo felt terrified.

That is a domineering girl, because she is two years younger than herself, she always acts like a rascal every time she meets her.

The Zhou family and the Qiao family are family friends. When Zhou Mo was 12 years old, Mr. Qiao celebrated his [-]th birthday. Zhou Mo was taken by his parents to the Qiao family to congratulate him.When several children were playing in the backyard of the villa, Joyner held the arm of her brother whom she had recognized from nowhere, and ran up to her to show off his might.

Zhou Mo dismissed it, thinking that this would make her angry?Although she didn't know why the other party didn't like her, before coming here, her father had told her to get along well with Joyner and not to offend her.

At that time, the Zhou Group was not as good as it is now. The business was flourishing, and the Zhou family still had to rely on the connections of the Qiao family, so Zhou Mo didn't dare to confront that girl for fear of his father's anger, but he couldn't afford to offend her. Always be able to hide!

Seeing the two standing in front of him, standing still like a pillar, Zhou Mo got up and gave them a cold look. When he was about to leave sideways, he didn't pay attention to Joyna's outstretched foot. She swooped down and fell into the pond.

Zhou Mo couldn't swim, and the water choked her so quickly that she couldn't breathe.

Since then, Zhou Mo has cast a shadow on Joyner, not because he is really afraid of her, but because he hates her inexplicably.

***

At the end of the last experimental class on Friday, Lin Yuxi hurried out of the classroom with a stack of documents.

"Professor Lin!" A student called her from behind, Lin Yuxi stopped suddenly, turned to look at him, "What's the matter?"

"Do you have to redo all these chapters?" The boy asked with a sullen face while holding the materials in his hands.

Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at the document in the boy's hand, and reached out and landed on the place she had marked, "There is a mistake in your previous data, if you don't count again, how can the subsequent data be accurately matched?"

Lin Yuxi noticed the reluctance in his eyes, and didn't blame him, but patiently enlightened: "Don't be afraid of trouble when doing research, you can contact me at any time if you have any questions."

"I see, thank you!" The boy nodded, turned to leave, and was stopped by Lin Yuxi, "Since you have a lot of revision tasks, I can give you a week's grace, and the paper will be sent to me next weekend."

Hearing this, the boy thanked Lin Yuxi gratefully, then turned and went back to the laboratory.

Lin Yuxi looked down at his watch and quickened his pace towards the office.She never looked at her mobile phone during class, and when she was packing up equipment after class, she received a call from her mother, who sounded like she was sick.

Missing her mother in her heart, she went back to the office to put down the documents, changed into clean clothes, and drove to her mother's residence.

"Mom, why don't you turn on the lights?" The old man lives in an old house. Lin Yuxi also asked his mother to move in with him, but Lin's mother is used to living here, and the neighbors are familiar with each other, so she is unwilling to move everywhere. .

The room was dark, Lin Yuxi closed the door, and pressed the switch on the door, "Didn't you just turn on the light when it was dark? It doesn't cost much, you black light, knock or fall How to do it?"

The old man is used to thrift. When her daughter doesn't go back, she is alone at home and doesn't bother to turn on the lights.

"Cough... Isn't this lying on the bed all the time? Turning on the light hurts the eyes." Mother Lin explained.

Lin Yuxi knew that her mother was making excuses, but she didn't argue with her. She walked over and raised her hand to caress her mother's back, and asked worriedly, "Why didn't you tell me the cough is so severe?"

Lin Yuxi would visit her mother every weekend, but she didn't come last weekend because of school research and various things. She didn't expect that her mother's illness had been hidden from her.Counting back and forth, this disease has been going on for half a month, and I have been suffering like this, without taking medicine or injections, how can my body cope with it?

"I bought you medicine, let's go to the hospital later?"

"I won't go, I'll suffocate if I smell the disinfectant in the hospital." Mother Lin declined, holding her daughter's hand and letting her sit beside her, "Is Shanshan all right at school?"

"Shanshan is very good, she studies hard, and gets along very well with her roommates." Lin Yuxi patted her mother's hand to comfort her, but thinking of Lin Shan's relationship problem, her dark eyes darkened instantly.

Mother Lin nodded, didn't notice her daughter's expression, and just sighed blindly, "Tell me, if you let Shanshan call you aunt and let me, a grandmother, take care of her, it wouldn't delay your own life." It is a lifelong event. Now, in the eyes of outsiders, you are pregnant before marriage, and the first married people are scared away just by hearing it. You are also stubborn, and you have reached this age after procrastination. So what if you are a professor? People nowadays go to If you are young, how can anyone like older ones?"

Every time Lin Yuxi came home, Lin's mother would talk a lot, one was worried that her daughter would not be relied on for the rest of her life, and the other was that she felt indebted to her daughter.

Lin Yuxi lowered her head and listened silently, neither resisting nor responding.

The room was so quiet that the breathing of the two could be heard. Mother Lin coughed a few more times, trying to persuade her daughter without giving up, "I heard from your sister Han that she introduced you to a blind date. I heard that the conditions are still good. That's right." The Sister Han that Lin's mother spoke of was Han Yue, the neighbor who grew up with Lin Yuxi when she took a pee, and she knew best what happened to the Lin family over the years.

Because the two sisters are not much different in age, Lin Yuxi and her get along very well.For these years, Han Yue has been worrying about Lin Yuxi's lifelong events.

"Mom knows that you are resistant to men. Mom won't force you. You can find a woman, as long as she can treat you well." When Lin's mother was young, her relationship with Lin's father was not smooth. When I got home, I beat and kicked Lin's mother, and sometimes Lin Yuxi and her sister.

Gradually, Lin Yuxi discovered that she seemed to have always disliked the touch of boys. She didn't know whether it was the influence of the environment or psychological problems, but she still couldn't pass that test.

"Mom, I don't want to go on a blind date anymore. I'm alone now, which is fine." Every time I go on a blind date, the other party is quite satisfied with her, but as long as she asks that she must bring her daughter with her to raise, the other party is mostly not willing.

Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was already very clear.

Now that she is almost 40, what else is she looking forward to?Looking for someone to hang out with?She felt that her salary was enough to support the three of them.

"I heard from Xiao Han that the child's condition is quite good. He is 4 years younger than you. We talked about a split before, and he has been busy with his career until now, so he has not cared about his relationship. Would you... think about it?" Lin's mother was earnest, afraid that her daughter would refuse, "It's just a fulfillment of mother's wish, okay?"

Lin Yuxi couldn't stand her mother's begging tone, so she nodded in desperation.

***

The sun was shining brightly on Saturday, and the sun shone through the dense layers of leaves, and the ground was colorful.

Although somewhat reluctant in her heart, Lin Yuxi still dressed up specially.She picked out a white dress that she rarely wore, put on light makeup, and took off her glasses.

It's like changing someone.

Lin Yuxi was sitting by the window, with his hands intertwined. He hadn't thought about it for three years. Now the things that were suppressed in his heart were released again. The old scene reappeared, and Lin Yuxi was inexplicably nervous .

Picking up the water glass on the table and taking a sip, the cool feeling spread along the tip of her tongue, and her heart calmed down a lot.

Just as he was wandering, the phone on the table rang suddenly. Lin Yuxi's shoulders trembled, and he picked up the phone and connected the call, "Hello!"

Lin Yuxi tried her best not to sound trembling, but when she heard the voice from the other side, she was slightly startled.

Deja Vu.

Sure enough, the next second, when Zhou Mo appeared in front of her in a white suit, both of them were taken aback.

"It's you?"
