Professor Lin's middle-aged love

Lin Shan froze there like a wooden stake. After a long time, she fixed her eyes on the photo on the tombstone and said, "My classmates say that I look like you, but I actually look like her, right?"

"Shanshan..." Lin Yuxi called her softly, not knowing how to answer.

"I've called her aunt for more than ten years." Lin Shan said slowly, without any emotion in her voice, as gentle as a calm lake, "but I've never seen her in real life. "

After a while of silence, Lin Shan added, "Actually, I don't have much emotion."

"But there is always the shadow of my aunt in my life." After a pause, as if taking a deep breath, Lin Shan choked up and said, "You always tell me that this is prepared by my aunt, and it was made by my aunt. I was thinking, my aunt is probably the best aunt in the world."

With her head lowered in thought, Lin Shan clenched her trousers tightly, and when she looked up at the woman in the photo, her eyes were already red, "But even so, now you tell me that she is my mother, I can't accept it. "

After all, she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to stare at the photo any more. She bit her lip and sobbed. Lin Yuxi looked at her with distressed eyes.

"Since I'm not your daughter, why do you want me to call you mother after all these years?" Lin Shan raised her head suddenly, staring at Lin Yuxi with bright black eyes, and asked.

"Because... your mother is worried that you will be bullied when you go to school because you are a child without a mother." Lin Yuxi's voice was low, tinged with a little sadness, she turned her head to look at the photo of her sister, and sighed , "She even asked me never to tell you this fact."

Imagining the scene when her sister reluctantly gave her daughter to herself, Lin Yuxi pursed her lips and said, "She loves you, but she has no chance to take care of you. She hasn't heard you call her mother..."

Lin Shan heard Lin Yuxi's voice trembling in the cold wind, and followed her gaze. The man gave her a feeling of strangeness and familiarity, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.

"Aunt...died of cancer?" Lin Shan opened her lips and paused when she called out the word "Aunt", as if something was stuck in her throat.

"Yes, it's a very tormenting disease, and the pain is beyond your imagination." Lin Yuxi never moved away from her sister's photo, and she continued: "During that time, she will personally treat you Make clothes and make a small video for you, she is afraid that you will forget her but also afraid that you will miss her." After a moment of silence, Lin Yuxi smiled bitterly, "She is always like this, a contradictory woman, she treats love like a daughter, Too."

"Her life...is too bitter." Lin Yuxi took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at the blue sky with floating clouds like broken ice.

After working hard for a lifetime, in the end, love and family affection are all in vain.Her sister is probably the most miserable woman.

Lin Yuxi felt sorry for her, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, and a sense of loneliness was hidden in her eyes.

Lin Shan listened quietly, trying to feel the strange emotion.In fact, Lin Qingshu's love for her has always been there. Lin Yuxi never forgot to tell the story of her aunt in front of her. She knew that her aunt loved her, but she never thought that that love came from the instinct of maternal love.

The "mother and daughter" stood quietly, Zhou Mo looked at them and looked at Lin Qingshu's photo, feeling filled with emotion, she had never seen such a sad woman.

"Shanshan." Lin Yuxi suddenly called out, raised her hand to touch her but froze in mid-air, "Can... call her mother?"

My sister really wants to hear her daughter's voice calling her, right?Lin Yuxi looked up at the clean and clear sky, trying to find a response.

Lin Shan clenched her hands into fists and stood stubbornly, tears welling in her eyes, but she still couldn't say those two words.

"Forget it, wait a little longer. I believe that Shanshan also has her difficulties, so give her a time to digest." Zhou Mo saw that Lin Shan lowered her head and said nothing, knowing that she was engaged in an ideological struggle, and asked her to immediately Accepting the reality and changing her mouth was indeed a bit embarrassing for her.

Putting his arms around Lin Shan's shoulders, Zhou Mo raised his eyes to look at Lin Yuxi, who had a gloomy expression, and said, "I believe my sister will be able to wait for Shanshan's response. Let's give the child some time."

Hearing that, Lin Yuxi nodded, because she was too hasty.

After staying for another half an hour, the three were ready to leave.Lin Shan walked behind Lin Yuxi and Zhou Mo, her footsteps were as heavy as lead, and she couldn't move away. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the smiling woman, her heart ached, and her footsteps hurried forward. go forward.

The cold bluestone brick path was a little slippery due to the condensation of ice. Lin Shan held her chest with her hands and walked carefully.

Suddenly, she touched the jade pendant hanging on her chest.

"This is the jade pendant that your aunt gave you. It can keep you safe. She hopes that Shanshan can grow up healthy."

"This is a beautiful princess dress for Shanshan's [-]th birthday from my aunt. She hopes that Shanshan can be pampered and grow up happily like a little princess in a fairy tale."

Lin Yuxi's voice echoed in her ears, every year on her birthday, that person's gift was never absent.Although she didn't grow up with her, her shadow is everywhere.Holding the jade pendant tightly through the sweater, Lin Shan suddenly stopped, turned and ran back.

When Lin Yuxi heard the movement behind her and turned her head, she saw the back of Lin Shan running towards her sister's tombstone. The corners of her lips raised slightly, and she smiled, with crystal tears overflowing from her eyes.

After a long silence in front of the tombstone, Lin Shan dared to look up at the woman in the photo, her lips trembling.Suddenly, she knelt on the ground with a plop, and opened her mouth. After a long while, the voice came out with difficulty, sad and painful, "Mom..."

***

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, He Yizhen held a party in the penthouse he newly purchased years ago, and invited some familiar friends to attend.

In the spacious and high-ceilinged living room, the cut glass chandelier is brilliant and transparent, and the floor-to-ceiling windows with a height of seven meters have a wide view. Standing in front of the window, you can see a river in the distance, winding from west to east.

The two sisters Zhou Mo and Zhou Ying joined with their families. He Yizhen never forgot to tease Zhou Mo when he saw her, "I never thought about having another child with Professor Lin?"

Zhou Mobai glanced at her, took a sip of red wine with a goblet, and said, "I don't want it yet."

If there is a child, it must be her.To be honest, since being exploited by Lin Yuxi last time, she has enjoyed being touched by her more and more.

If you are pregnant, the other party may not be able to touch you for a long time.Looking up at Lin Yuxi, Zhou Momo's bright pupils were dark. She had seen some subtle messages received in Lin Yuxi's cell phone two days ago.

It was nothing at first, but the girl was too considerate and enthusiastic towards Lin Yuxi.Although Professor Lin yelled one mouthful at a time, Zhou Mo felt a hint of threat in his words.

The girl sent a good morning and a good night greeting every morning and evening, never stopping.Although Lin Yuxi never replied, she just looked very uncomfortable.

After all, she heard from Xuanxuan that there are many boys and girls in their school who like sister Yu, and their age is not a problem.

It's too ridiculous.

But after all, he is a young man full of youth, Zhou Mo can't take it lightly.Staring at Lin Yuxi with scorching eyes, she saw Joyna who was sitting beside her glance at her, and said something to Lin Yuxi with a smile, causing the other party to look back at her.

Zhou Mo suddenly felt embarrassed, feeling that he was caught on the spot peeking, and his cheeks were unnaturally reddish.

"Sister Xiaoying, when your sister was still shy?" Joyna rested her chin on her hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ying who was sitting upright, and teased with a smile.

Pulling her lips and chuckling, Zhou Ying glanced sideways at Lin Yuxi, and said softly, "Who knows, she has complained to me a lot because of Yuxi recently."

"Complaining about Yuxi? It shouldn't be." Joyna was surprised, she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Yuxi who was silent, waiting for her to explain.

"Is it because...a student from my school?" Lin Yuxi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked Zhou Ying.

"What's going on?" Joyna became interested. To be honest, it was interesting to see Zhou Mo jealous.

"Yuxi met a suitor at school, and Xiaomo felt a sense of crisis." Zhou Ying crossed her legs and said eloquently.

"Really? Our Professor Lin is really charming, what kind of suitor? Colleague?" Joyna tilted her head and looked at Lin Yuxi with a smile, her eyes bent into crescent moons.

"No." Lin Yuxi explained in a soft voice, and glanced at Zhou Mo from the corner of her eye, "It's a student who is about to graduate from senior year, but she is actually the sister of Shanshan's roommate." Lin Yuxi didn't know what the other party was doing. She just knew herself, after all, she had never taught that girl before, she probably met her when she came to the lab to find her sister.

She has no memory.

"Student? Or the sister of Shanshan's roommate?" Joyna stared, "That's only about 22 years old?" After sighing the intricate relationship, she couldn't help but tease Lin Yuxi, "It's no wonder Zhou Mo feels a sense of crisis."

"No, I've already made it clear to that child." Lin Yuxi blushed and clenched her fingers slightly. In fact, she didn't say anything very bluntly. It just showed that the other party's text messages had troubled her life.

Several people were chatting, Zhou Ying glanced at Lin Yuxi, seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, she changed the subject and asked Joyna, "Don't talk about Yuxi, how are you? Your stepdaughter...is quite interesting too. .” She had heard Joyner talk about this, and she was shocked at the time.She found that the children of today are many times more courageous than those of their generation.

Speaking of He Qi, Joyna smiled softly, as if recalling the happy past after moving to He Yizhen's place, "That child is quite good, not a messy person. She is very similar to her mother, very free and easy. Child." As she spoke, she looked up at He Qi who was sitting on the sofa looking around, with a cute girl with a round face stuck beside her, and said, "He Yizhen has been trying to find a girlfriend for her daughter recently. Woolen cloth."

Looking back at the girl sitting with He Qi, Zhou Ying asked, "That's the one? He doesn't seem to like that girl very much."

"Let's mess up the mandarin ducks." Joyner responded.

Because her daughter is at home, she has to control her voice when she and He Yizhen are doing it. Sometimes she wears a lace nightgown with suspenders and wants to pour a glass of water when she goes out of the bedroom. A thick coat wrapped her tightly.

Thinking of this, Joyna couldn't help laughing, she is obviously a woman in her 40s, and she fights wits and courage with her daughter at home every day.

She could see that He Qi's child's mind was no longer with her, but she couldn't help him want to tease her mother's mind.He Yizhen is also pitiful, the veins on his forehead are often bulged by his daughter's anger.

A few days later, He Yizhen began to express his daughter's feelings.

While chatting, the double doors in the hallway suddenly opened, and then someone came slowly, wearing a gray windbreaker with an off-white collar turned out, lined with a white V-neck sweater, shoulder-length short hair, slightly curly, capable And refreshing.

He Qi turned her head abruptly when she heard the sound, seeing that it was Mu Yanbing, her eyes lit up instantly.

Short hair?

Blinking her eyes, He Qi couldn't help but praise in her heart: It looks good.

"Who is she?" asked the girl next to her.

"You don't know me." Pretending to be affectionate and afraid that Mu Yanbing would misunderstand, He Qi deliberately moved aside to distance herself from the girl.

"Mr. Mu, welcome." When He Yizhen and Zhou Mo saw the distinguished guest, they immediately got up and walked over to greet them.Years ago, the higher authorities issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Rongxin Group's tax evasion, kidnapping, and market monopoly over the past 20 years.They knew that this was all a trick of the woman in front of them. According to the evidence collected, she did have a wide network, mainly because of her father's strong strength.

"Mr. He, Mr. Zhou." With a slight smile on his lips, he briefly shook hands with the two of them. When Mu Yanbing followed He Yizhen to the main hall, her eyes flicked past He Qi, who was staring at her for a moment, and she paused. , move away.

"What are you looking at? Your eyes are straight." Ning Caixuan took Lin Shan's hand and walked up to He Qi, glanced at the girl beside her, smiled and nodded as a greeting.

"I didn't see anything." Feeling a little depressed, He Qi replied listlessly.

The dinner started at eight o'clock, and almost everyone was in pairs, even He Qi was sitting next to a girl.Mu Yanbing looked up at the people on the table, and gradually lowered her eyes.In order to be able to make a career and prove herself to her father, she has been concentrating on her work for more than ten years, never thinking about her relationship.

Now that she has finally reached the height she expected, she finds that she has nothing but her career, and there is a faint emptiness in her heart.Especially on such an occasion, her lonely figure is even more lonely.

Recently, He Yizhen's daughter always inquires about her through the assistant's WeChat from time to time, and Mu Yanbing knows about it, so she can't tell what it feels like.It was just a child, she didn't pay attention to it.

It's just that every time I see each other, my eyes always drift to the direction of the child from time to time, and the girl sitting next to her, they seem to be a good match.

Restraining her dim eyes, Mu Yanbing thought about it.Perhaps, she should be able to consider her love life.

After the banquet, Lin Yuxi got up and went to the bathroom. Zhou Mo saw it and raised his heels.She stood waiting at the door, and when she heard Lin Yuxi's sound of opening the door, she raised her foot and squeezed in, closed the door, and put Lin Yuxi in her arms against the wall.

"I saw you looking at your phone all night, what's wrong? What's the matter?" Zhou Mo pinched Lin Yuxi's chin, squeezed one leg between her legs, and asked.

Lin Yuxi was taken aback by her actions, and looked up at Zhou Mo like a frightened kitten, "No, mutual blessings between colleagues, I will reply to them."

Blinking his eyes brightly, Zhou Mo lowered his head and approached Lin Yuxi's lips, opened his mouth to bite lightly, complaining, "I was jealous of that girl a few days ago."

Lin Yuxi couldn't help supporting Zhou Mo's waist, and Lin Yuxi raised her chin slightly to respond to her, "The child is impulsive, don't worry about it. And..." Lin Yuxi looked at her tenderly with watery eyes, "And I I only love you, Zhou Mo."

There was a bright smile on the corner of his lips, Zhou Mo held the back of Lin Yuxi's hand and bowed his head to kiss, saying: "We want to have a baby too? I will have a baby like you, it must be very beautiful."

"Child?" Lin Yuxi was stunned for two seconds, her eyes were wet, "Can we... can we?"

"Of course." Seeing that Lin Yuxi liked it, Zhou Mo decided to put this matter on the agenda immediately.She took Lin Yuxi's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Come out with me, I have a surprise for you."

At [-]:[-] in the evening, all the people stood in front of the transparent French windows.The dark blue night sky outside the window is dotted with twinkling stars, reflecting the bright full moon, and shedding a layer of gauzy light.The reflection of the waves on the riverside, the shadows of colorful lights, flickering gently with the evening wind, the shadows are indistinct.

Ten seconds before twelve o'clock in the morning, the fireworks in the sky exploded instantly, ten, nine, eight...

At the last second, a flame-like firework suddenly rushed into the sky. In an instant, the dazzling firework filled the sky with colorful colors, colorfully covering the entire French window.There are two red heart-shaped fireworks stacked together, and a long fiery red arrow passes through the middle.The sound of fireworks exploding continued, followed by the names of Zhou Mo and Lin Yuxi appearing in Hongxin, and then the names of He Yizhen and Joyna.

Ning Caixuan's eyes widened and she shouted in disbelief: "Auntie, you're really good at it."

Zhou Mo turned his head to look at his niece, smiled and hugged Lin Yuxi in his arms from behind, put his arms around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Yuxi, I want to lock you in my heart forever ,Do you want to?"

Leaning back against Zhou Mo, Lin Yuxi's clear eyes reflected the colorful fireworks, she tilted her head and gently rubbed her cheek against Zhou Mo's, and responded softly, "Zhou Mo, I am willing."

He Yizhen was not far from them, and seeing the two cuddling each other intimately, he couldn't help embracing Joyna with his hands, resting his chin on her shoulder, and asked, "How is it, is it okay?"

Joyna, who thought she would talk sweetly, was stunned for a moment, then looked back at He Yizhen who was smiling, and asked, "No more?"

"What's gone?" He Yizhen asked her inexplicably.

After giving her a blank look, Joyner held her forehead, "Didn't you prepare some vivid words?"

After realizing it, He Yizhen laughed, and said: "Let's not come to those imaginary ones, we will have more vivid ones for you when we go back at night."

Knowing what she was thinking, Joyna's cheeks were flushed, she glanced at her, and complained, "It's not serious."

Zhou Ying was standing on the far left of the crowd, feeling the hand coming up from her waist, she tilted her head and smiled at her husband, pursing her lips.When I looked at the night sky outside the window, it seemed as if I saw memories through the gorgeous fireworks.

There are people she misses there.

"Shanshan, do you like it? When we get married, let's set off such beautiful fireworks, okay?" Ning Caixuan hugged Lin Shan happily, watching her eyes staring unblinkingly at the bright window, couldn't help but Kiss her ears.

"Okay." Lin Shan responded softly, staring at the deep space like a canvas, and silently said to Lin Qingshu in the sky: Mom, did you see it?I am very happy, you don't worry about me.

Ning Caixuan held her hand tightly, and Lin Shan blinked her eyes sourly, with crystals flickering in her eye sockets.

Taking advantage of everyone's confession to each other, He Qi quietly moved to Mu Yanbing's side, got closer, raised her head and followed her eyes to look out of the window, and said casually: "It's just fireworks. I'll give my girlfriend something better in the future." It's more romantic."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at the woman standing beside her, only to see that her eyelashes were trembling, and she didn't respond at all as if she didn't hear it.

The perfect line of Mu Yanbing's side face extended down along the snow-white jade neck. He Qi stared at her slightly moving throat, swallowed, and sighed: "Sexy."
