Chapter 23: Britain with You is Different (3)

Stepping on Cambridgeshire land again, Su Luoluo's feeling was completely different from the last time.

The first time I came was full of freshness and curiosity. EM's itinerary is also mainly biased towards the introduction of policies for further education.

This time, accompanied by Lu Lingchen, he not only carefully explained the humanities and history of each college to her, but also mentioned some stories of his life at that time, and Su Luoluo listened to it with relish.

The weather was a little hot, and Lu Lingchen didn't bring much clothes on a business trip, still wearing a white shirt and black pants. Walking side by side with Su Luoluo on the campus path, like an ordinary student couple.

Tired of walking, the two sat on the grass casually, watching the college building and watching the tourists boating, chatting with each other.

Su Luoluo was in a very comfortable mood: "The summer in Cambridge is really beautiful, and it is a painting when you take a picture!" By the way, you were studying for a Ph.D. in finance at the time, which school were you in? ”

"Judge Business School." As he spoke, Lu Lingchen opened the photo album on his mobile phone and handed it to Su Luoluo, which was a graduation photo of him wearing a Cambridge gown.

looked at Lu Lingchen in the photo, tall and handsome, with a good demeanor, "What a male god!" Su Luoluo thought secretly.

She couldn't help asking: "You are so handsome, many people must like it, right?" ”

Lu Lingchen turned his head to look at her, with a smile in his deep eyes: "In your words, I am a maternal fetus." ”

"Mother-fetal solo?! What do you mean...... Haven't you been in a relationship? How can it be! ”

Lu Lingchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes a little solemn: "You don't believe me?" ”

"Hey, that's not what I meant. But you're a male god...... Aren't people who like you very much? ”

"Male god?"

"That's right, you are the male god that many female students admire, don't you know?"

Lu Lingchen really wanted to ask, are you also one of those female students? But I knew in my heart that it was inappropriate to ask such a question, so I couldn't help but say it.

In a light voice, he said, "They like it, it's their business." ”

Su Luoluo heard the displeasure in his voice and stopped the topic in time.

She thought for a while: "Actually, with your Cambridge Ph.D. in finance, why do you want to teach in our school?" There's so much to do."

Lu Lingchen's eyes became deeper when he looked at her, and his eyes seemed to hide the sea. "Do you really want to know?"

Su Luoluo nodded seriously, she really wanted to know.

"Okay, I'll take you somewhere." After speaking, Lu Lingchen helped Su Luoluo stand up, and the two walked towards the outside of the school.

*********

Coming to an alley not far from the school, Lu Lingchen pushed the door into a 24-hour convenience store, and took 2 bottles of mineral water to the counter to settle the bill.

The brown-haired, blue-eyed, obese male shopkeeper recognized the visitor: "Hey buddy, long time no see. You alright ? ”

Lu Lingchen, who has always been cold and doesn't talk much, rarely raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I'm good, thanks."

Then he took Su Luoluo to an apartment building not far from the convenience store, about 7 or 8 stories high, with beige exterior walls, relatively modern.

Lu Lingchen stood downstairs and looked up at the apartment building, his eyes a little nostalgic. "This is where I lived when I studied abroad, and my house is on the third floor." He pointed to a room on the third floor.

Su Luoluo followed the direction he pointed and saw the room, now drawing the curtains. The appearance is similar to the other rooms, and you can't see the difference.

"Since I was a child, I have been the kind of "scholar" and "male god" in your mouth, I have measured my IQ, 147, which belongs to the top. I also always thought I could do anything. Not only did primary and secondary schools skip grades continuously, but it only took 5 years to study for bachelor's and master's degrees. Lu Lingchen fell into memories and said in a slow tone.

"Then your parents must be very proud of you."

Lu Lingchen shook his head slowly: "My mother died in childbirth because she gave birth to me. My father was very strict with me from a young age, and probably because I had a high IQ and was easy to learn anything, his expectations of me became higher and higher. ”

"I didn't want to disappoint him, slowly, and I was very strict with myself. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't satisfy him. ”

Although Lu Lingchen's tone was as cold as usual, it seemed to be telling the story of an irrelevant person.

But Su Luoluo still felt a lot of pain in his heart, such an excellent Lu Lingchen had never been able to satisfy his father, how uncomfortable was he in his heart?

She couldn't help but reach out and gently shook Lu Lingchen's hand. It was summer, but his hands were cold.

Sensing the temperature coming from his hand, Lu Lingchen's heart shook, looked at Su Luoluo and smiled apologetically, and shook her back.

These family matters, except for Zhong Wenbin who has known about them as a neighbor for many years, he has never mentioned them to others. It has always been silently kept in my heart.

"I think my uncle may have not handled his emotions well. Because your mother is gone, she is a mother and feels more pressured and responsible. He may feel that only by nurturing you to be worthy of your mother is to train you to be a talent. ”

Is that the case? Lu Lingchen didn't understand this truth, but when he said it from Su Luoluo's mouth, it was particularly convincing to him.

He continued: "When I came to Cambridge for my PhD, I studied under the famous Dr. Bush. Professor Jacques, the first phase was actually quite smooth. But then it came to the core, and I worked from day to night, day after day, for months. But it didn't work, it didn't work! I couldn't get out of the way, and my whole body became very broken. ”

"It was the first time in my life that I encountered such a big setback, and I was almost forced to drop out of school. If I drop out of school, I don't dare to imagine how I will face my father......" Lu Lingchen pursed his thin lips tightly, his face tightened, and he closed his eyes in pain.

Su Luoluo clenched his hand, and his strength was a little stronger.

"During that time, I used to go to the convenience store where I just took you to buy alcohol and drink. Drunk and dreaming of death, in order to escape from reality for a short time. ”

Su Luoluo didn't expect that Lu Lingchen, who was indifferent to everything, would have such a frustrated day. She felt that the man in front of her had become more three-dimensional and flesh-and-blood.

"Eventually, you survived. Isn't that great? She tried to comfort him.

Lu Lingchen opened his eyes and looked at Su Luoluo, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and they seemed to contain a thousand words: "It was a period of struggling in the dark and bottomless hell. Do you want to know how I escaped? ”

Su Luoluo couldn't help but stare at those eyes: "What? ”

"It's because of you."

"Because of me?" Su Luoluo was taken aback, but looking at Lu Lingchen's expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

"One day I was about to buy drunk. Suddenly, on the computer, I saw a video of you participating in the Chinese Poetry Contest. You are so calm and calm, so confident, I was immediately attracted to you. ”

Lu Lingchen looked at Su Luoluo and said seriously.

Su Luoluo was so shocked, was it really because of herself? She felt that she could ......

Lu Lingchen turned on his phone and handed it to her. Inside is a video clip of her participating in the Chinese Poetry Contest and various competitions. Sure enough, there was no leakage.

She was dumbfounded, still a little hard to accept.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Lingchen seemed to come to his senses, and he softened his voice: "Su Luoluo, I say it cautiously, I really thank you." Thank you! If it weren't for you, it's hard for me to imagine what my future self would become. Maybe to this day, I'm still drinking heavily. ”

"No, I didn't actually do anything......

"No, the power of the spirit is far more powerful than you think. Although you are far away in a foreign country, I don't know how much confidence you gave me, I re-examined my own topics and various materials over and over again, and finally overcame the omnipotence and got my doctorate. ”

Su Luoluo was a little embarrassed and lowered her head embarrassedly. At the same time, an idea emerged in my heart: As a teacher, Lu Lingchen has always taken special care of himself, so is it because he is grateful to me?

Her doubts grew and she felt very lost.

Seeing Su Luoluo's sullen and silent appearance, Lu Lingchen thought that her experience was too gloomy, which frightened her.

He said in a breezy tone as much as possible: "It's all over." I was just thinking that I really wanted to meet you in person and go back to China to be a teacher. ”

What he didn't say was that he had actually found out that he was in love with Su Luoluo at that time, and he couldn't restrain his desire to see her. It's not time to confess now, so I can only force it in my heart.

Listening to Lu Lingchen's words, Su Luoluo's eyes widened. She never expected that he would give up the great future of the financial industry just to see herself? No one thought of this, did they?!

But with Lu Lingchen, whom she has always known, he is not a frivolous character who jokes casually. Glancing at her secretly, she looked serious and serious, she really wasn't teasing herself.

Though...... This reason is indeed shocking enough.

Su Luoluo thought silently, she would never tell anyone, not even Molly and Ouyang Qianying. Believe it or not, it's shocking after all......

"Well, that's my employment story. Let's go have dinner~"

"Oh, okay......" ended the topic, and Su Luoluo was actually a little relieved. Although the question in her heart was still there, she knew that there was no way to ask.

Night had already fallen, and the alley where Lu Lingchen's apartment was located was a bit deep and sparsely populated.

They had just walked a few steps when they were confronted by four black thugs, all very young. One wears a hat, one has dreadlocks, one has shaggy hair like a poodle, and the last one holds a wine bottle and drinks as he goes.

The one wearing the hat kept muttering something to the pigtails, and his ambiguous eyes kept looking at Su Luoluo, obviously ill-intentioned. The one who was pouring the wine bottle was also laughing.

Su Luoluo couldn't hear what they were saying, but she also sensed that the comer was not good. She was nervous and unconsciously clenched her little fists.

They are getting closer and closer. Lu Lingchen's face seemed to have a layer of frost attached to it, pulling Su Luoluo to the other side, and coldly scanning the other party.

At this time, the man in the hat said coldly in English, "It's her, I told you it's her!" ”

Su Luoluo understood this sentence, but she didn't know what the other party meant, she had never seen them.

Lu Lingchen spoke, his tone as cold as ice: "Get out of here!" ”

Hearing Lu Lingchen's words, several black gangsters seemed to have heard the funniest joke. The dreadlocks walked straight up to them, reaching out to pull Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo screamed in fright!
