At the graduation ceremony, what Li Meng didn't expect was that Professor Smith brought Meng Xiaolong to deliver flowers. After the ceremony, the four of them took a group photo in front of the teaching building of the Department of Architecture, Li Meng and Meng Xiaolong stood in front of them in their bachelor's uniforms with flowers in hand, and Meng Ling and Professor Smith stood behind them with a look of relief. However, what Li Meng didn't expect was that a few years later, this group photo turned out to be the most eye-catching family photo on the wall of his living room.

At first, Li Meng thought that Professor Smith was only tempted by his mother, but he didn't want people to be serious. Every day Li Meng and his mother have not gone downstairs, the professor has already driven the car downstairs, and the high-sounding reasons have found a lot, what although he graduated, but he admires Li Meng's talent, and wants to continue to communicate, or he is an Australian but has not experienced the tourist attractions of his own country, etc., in short, Li Meng and they are not allowed to refuse, and as a student Meng Xiaolong who is at home on vacation and knows how to communicate in Chinese, he was also pulled by his father to be a translator, in fact, Professor Smith just let his son talk to Li Meng, As a result, he had a lot of time to communicate with Meng Ling. Meng Xiaolong can be regarded as open-minded for the happiness of his father, and after returning from vacation, he has not been able to get together with his buddies, but he follows Li Meng and them every day.

At first, Li Meng didn't care too much, after all, everyone was polite and respectful. It wasn't until one day, when Li Meng and Professor Smith AA their day's expenses as usual, and Professor Smith expressed a strong refusal, that Li Meng realized that this time it was really wrong. During her four years in Australia, she deeply realized that foreigners are persistent in AA life and making friends, and those who can occasionally treat each other are very close people, and she and Professor Smith are just ordinary teacher-student relationships, and they cannot be regarded as having deep friendships. You know, it is indeed a big deal to make a person who has maintained an AA system for decades change in consumption consciousness and habits.

Meng Xiaolong saw Li Meng's puzzled look on his face, and winked at her: "How is it, now you can see that my father has 'bad intentions' for your mother, right?" Seriously, I haven't seen him so attentive to a woman in more than a decade! It seems that this old man is serious this time. ”

"You asked your father to treat him?"

"Not really."

"Then why won't he take my money today?"

"I just told him that Chinese women don't like the AA system because they think AA men are stingy, and they like generous men......"

At this moment, when Li Meng looked at the professor who was circling around his mother, he somehow felt that it was unsightly tight, and it was inexplicably tight. If you want to chase your mother, how can it be so easy, so you toss yourself so harshly at the professor, let her not use an umbrella, and stand in the sun sweating and cutting pipes to assemble the model, which has to make it a little more difficult for him. Of course, Li Meng would not admit that he had the idea of communiqué personal vendetta.

"Professor Smith, I'd like to talk to you."

"Okay."

……

"Meng Xiaolong told me, you like my mother, I want you to tell me, you, are you serious?"

"Yes, I think I'm serious. I admit that I have a very good crush on Ms. Meng Ling and I want to pursue her. I would even like to spend my life with her if I could. Professor Smith didn't dodge, looked directly into Li Meng's eyes, and expressed his thoughts.

The professor's words undoubtedly surprised Li Meng, after all, there is still a big difference between listening to others and admitting it to the person himself, but the professor's sincere attitude also makes Li Meng want to look at this matter again.

"I just want my mother to be happy. Excuse me, as a daughter, can I trust you? ”

"I am also a father, and I understand family and responsibilities very deeply. If Ms. Meng Ling can choose me, I will cherish her and accompany her forever. ”

"You have to know that we are not people from the same country, and there are big differences in national conditions and cultures. It's just that these differences are a big problem, not to mention that they are still in a distant foreign country. ”

"I know you're going to have a lot to worry about, and I understand that. But I would say that if you really love each other, these are not problems. Your mother can learn English, and I can learn Chinese. With my qualifications, I can also go to other countries to teach, and if there are problems, just run in and overcome them. ”

"But my mother is a very traditional Chinese woman, and she may not accept your cultural traditions. So, please answer me seriously, can she, as a woman, trust you? ”

"You can rest assured that Ms. Meng Ling had an unhappy marriage, and so did I. I am no longer young, impulsive, somewhat stubborn self-esteem is no longer so important to me, I cherish the hard-won peaceful life, for me, nothing is more important than people. I'm a man, and I'm going to take on more of the part, to be tolerant, to make concessions. Through these two days of getting along, I think Ms. Meng Ling is a kind and tolerant lady, and I think she may be more independent and brave than you think. ”

If this was a thesis defense, Li Meng might really stand up and applaud the professor and tell him that he had answered beautifully. However, it is not, so Li Meng still calmly asked another question: "What if my mother doesn't like you?" ”

"I'll try harder. Of course, if she doesn't like me in the end, I think I'll respect her choice. ”

Now, what else does Li Meng have to say, everyone who should say it has finished speaking. simply got up and went to Meng Xiaolong to play, leaving all the space to them.

"Can I understand that you don't object to me pursuing your mother?"

"Well, no, but not for now. This is your own emotional matter, and I will not interfere. ”

……

Seeing Li Mengru's relieved expression, Meng Xiaolong knew that this matter had taken a big step forward: "Hey, my future sister, you're back!" ”

Li Meng couldn't help but throw Meng Xiaolong a roll of his eyes: "Who is your sister!" I'm an only child. ”

"I all know, although you graduated a year earlier than me, but in fact I am a year older than you, who let you go to school earlier than me. By the way, how was the conversation with my father? ”

"That's it."

"It seems that the professor is better than the student. But don't worry, I vouch for my personality that my father will be a very good husband. ”

"How do you know? You won't marry him. ”

“……”

"Well, don't worry, he'll make a good stepfather too."

"How do you know? You're not going to be his stepdaughter. ”

"......" suddenly felt that the future sister spoke so sharply, what to do online, etc.
