Chapter 20: Peach Blossoms
From that night on, Li Meng's mobile phone number was firmly remembered by Lu Yao as a holy decree, and he couldn't wait to engrave it into his bones and rub it into his life. He has experienced too many blows, and he has a strong obsession and an almost perverted desire for long-lost warmth. In the past, Li Meng was his friend, and since that night, Lu Yao has unilaterally changed the nature of this friendship, he knows that he has no feelings for girls physiologically, but psychologically, he is eager to firmly possess Li Meng and the warmth that Li Meng brings him.
He memorized the number, and then used his pen to slash it along the somewhat wild word "Li Meng" under the number, allowing the black ink stains to seep into his skin and entangle with the bright red blood, leaving permanent traces. In this way, Li Meng is his own, and no one can take it away.
Countless times, he wanted to dial that number, wanted to hear Li Meng's voice, so that he would feel at ease. However, again and again, I suppressed my thoughts before dialing. He didn't want to disturb Li Meng, he didn't want Li Meng to be a little unhappy. So he began to write letters, writing about his troubles and his thoughts, the recipients were all Li Meng, but they would never be sent, and each letter was locked in a drawer, and no one knew.
Since Li Meng went back, she always remembered Lu Yao's bleak appearance, and remembered Lu Yao's comfort and support for her when she was most helpless, so she decided not to continue her graduate studies, and returned to China to work after graduating from her bachelor's degree, and she could also take care of Lu Yao. After all, there is no rush to continue your studies at this time, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Considering that it was her final year, she asked her mother to go to Australia to attend her graduation ceremony when she graduated. Meng Ling had never been abroad, so she was a little worried, but her daughter said that she would accompany her throughout the pick-up and drop-off, so she had nothing to worry about. So I took advantage of the fact that I still had half a year to enroll in an English class, hoping to learn some simple conversations.
A few days before the graduation ceremony, Meng Ling took leave and flew to Australia. But I forgot to consider the problem of jet lag, so Li Meng was still in class when he first got off the plane, and if Li Meng was an elective or something, he would have boldly skipped a class, but Professor Smith in the professional class was notoriously strict and disrespectful, and she didn't dare to touch the high-voltage line, and she would graduate in a few days, so she couldn't be planted at this time. However, the appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks was clearly seen by Professor Smith.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Li Meng grabbed his schoolbag and rushed to the door, but Professor Smith didn't seem to want this inattentive student to go too happily: "Li Meng, if you don't mind, help me send the model to the office, okay?" ”
Looking at Professor Smith's determined eyes, Li Meng knew that the professor should have found out that he hadn't listened carefully in class, so he consciously picked up the model and walked in front.
"Thank you very much. But I still have to ask, why don't you listen to the class today, do you think my class is boring? ”
"It's not like that, I'm in a hurry today because of some things."
"Urgent? What's the matter? Of course, you can refuse to answer if you don't want to say it. ”
"My mom came to see me from China today, and she miscalculated the time, so she's been waiting for me at the airport for a long time now. Professor, can I leave now, I'm really in a hurry. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the airport together."
"I can take a taxi myself. Don't bother you. ”
"It's not troublesome, it just so happens that I'm going to pick up someone at the airport too... My son came home today, by the way, he is studying in China, majoring in Chinese and Chinese, maybe you can talk. ”
……
Originally, Li Meng was worried that her mother would be anxious if she didn't know anyone at the airport, and it was a strange country, so she was afraid that she would be afraid. Who knew that when I found my mother, my mother was leisurely drinking coffee and eating bread in the coffee shop, and after seeing Li Meng, she beckoned happily, put down the coffee and pushed the box and came over: "Meng Meng, I'm here." ”
Just as Meng Ling walked towards Li Meng, Li Meng really heard Professor Smith behind him sigh in a low voice, "OMG!" ”
Meng Ling is wearing a blue and white cheongsam on a white background today, and after her hair is coiled, she has a sandalwood hairpin, which has an oriental charm. In City A, many ladies like to wear cheongsam, which is not unusual. But abroad, this cheongsam is eye-catching, and the return rate is 100%.
Li Meng took the box in Meng Ling's hand and did not forget to introduce it to Professor Smith: "This is my mother, Meng Ling, this is Professor Smith." ”
Professor Smith smiled happily, "Hello, Ms. Meng. ”
"Hello." Knowing that the handshake asked the lady to reach out first, Meng Ling took the initiative to stretch out her hand, who knew that Professor Smith actually took Meng Ling's hand and kissed it lightly on the back of Meng Ling's hand, and the ears on both sides of the old face turned red, Li Meng couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was just wrong.
What surprised Li Meng was that Meng Ling was able to make an introduction and basic communication with the professor: "Mom, when did you learn English?" ”
Meng Ling raised her eyebrows: "How about it, your mother's English is okay." I'm afraid that I will embarrass you after I come, so I didn't tell you after studying for half a year, just to surprise you. ”
"It's amazing."
"By the way, why did your professor send you to pick you up?"
"The professor's son is also back today, so he took me to the airport by the way. Later, we will have to wait for his son to come out and then go back to school together. By the way, the professor said that his son studied in China and studied Chinese. ”
"yes, that's a coincidence."
Professor Smith's son must have inherited more from his mother, because Professor Smith has dark brown hair and brown eyes, while his son has blonde hair and blue eyes, and when the professor's son was studying in China, his teacher gave him a Chinese name called Meng Xiaolong, because he admired Mencius and liked Bruce Lee, but he and Meng Ling became the same surname.
When getting in the car, the professor invited Meng Ling to sit in the co-pilot, and Meng Ling did not refuse, she saw that Meng Xiaolong had a good personality and was handsome, and she had the heart to match her daughter. I don't know if this move is exactly what Professor Smith wants.
Young people talk a lot, plus Meng Xiaolong likes traditional Chinese culture, and Li Meng understands everything well, so the two sat in the back and chatted happily. But the previous Professor Smith's enthusiastic attitude towards his mother made Li Meng puzzling, Professor Smith has always had a cold personality, this moment asked his mother if she wanted to turn on the air conditioner, and asked her mother if she wanted to listen to music for a while, it was really the cold-faced professor who didn't smile?
Knowing that a father is like a son, Meng Xiaolong looked at his diligent father and quietly bit his ear to Li Meng: "My father should like your mother." ”
"What!? That, that your mother..."
"My parents divorced when I was in elementary school."
"Why?"
"She went with an old man who had his own private island and private jet and my father didn't."
"I'm sorry."
"What's so sorry about this, it's not you who did the wrong thing."
As he was talking, the previous conversation immediately attracted Li Meng's attention back.
"Why didn't Li Meng's father come? After all, a child's graduation ceremony is very important. ”
"He, I don't know. We haven't been in touch for years. ”
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being divorced?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I'm sorry." You're sorry, please, when you say you're sorry, why are you grinning so big and smiling so much! Li Meng sat behind and rolled his eyes, and at the same time deeply despised the professor in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh that his mother's second peach blossom actually bloomed abroad!
