Chapter 37: The Ancient Alley

Although I was very tired from cleaning yesterday, I had a good rest last night, and after waking up the next day, Chu Zi'an was refreshed.

Just after washing, when Chu Zi'an was about to prepare breakfast, he received a message from Lin Yiyang: An An, have you had breakfast?

Chu Zi'an: I just woke up, and I'm about to do it.

Lin Yiyang: Come and eat with me.

Staring at a few words on the screen, Chu Zi'an thought of going on a date with Lin Yiyang today, and couldn't help but feel a little excited: Okay, I'll change my clothes and go over.

After speaking, Chu Zi'an didn't care about Lin Yiyang's reply, and walked to the wardrobe to look for clothes. After comparing for a long time, Chu Zi'an still didn't think about which one to wear. Finally, he wore an off-white woolen straight-leg pants, a light pink loose sweater on the upper body, and a yellow short jacket on the outside, and the whole person looked very petite and exquisite.

After glancing at the time, Chu Zi'an immediately put on his shoes and went out to Lin Yiyang's house.

Coming to Lin Yiyang's door, Chu Zi'an's little heart began to feel a little restless. After she took a few deep breaths, she rang the doorbell of Lin Yiyang's house.

When he opened the door and saw Chu Zi'an, the corner of Lin Yiyang's mouth raised a smile: "You look good." ”

As soon as she came up, Chu Zi'an's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head a little shyly: "Thank you, Professor Lin." ”

"Come in."

The two of them sat down at the dining table, and Chu Zi'an raised his head every time he took a sip of porridge and looked at Lin Yiyang quietly.

Lin Yiyang drank halfway through his porridge, put down the spoon in his hand, and looked at Chu Zi'an funny: "Is this missing me too much, you have seen me so many times?" ”

Hearing Lin Yiyang's words, Chu Zi'an raised his head: "Hmm...... Think of you as one side and the other as ...... I'm curious that Professor Lin would actually date me. ”

Lin Yiyang thought briefly for a few seconds, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Actually?" Do I seem to be a very old-fashioned person? ”

Chu Zi'an immediately shook his head, for fear that he would be slow: "Not really, it's just that Professor Lin, you look more ...... Serious, like an elegant person who does not eat the fireworks of the world. ”

I simply guessed how Chu Zi'an would explain, but I didn't expect her to give such a word. Lin Yiyang was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed: "Don't eat the fireworks in the world? I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. ”

Chu Zi'an raised his head proudly: "Of course!" ”

But Lin Yiyang suddenly put away his smile, and his expression was a little serious: "But An An, I'm not as perfect as you imagined." I'm just a normal person, I can cry and laugh, I will be happy and sad, I will be jealous, I will make mistakes, and I may even make you unhappy. ”

"I know." Chu Zi'an said without hesitation, his eyes seemed to shine, "Although Professor Lin is not a perfect person, you are the one who loves me, and you are the one who is willing to stay with me for the rest of your life, that is enough." ”

Lin Yiyang carefully recalled Chu Zi'an's words, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a beautiful arc: "Stay together for a lifetime...... If I could, I would like to stay together for the rest of my life. ”

Gee...... This Professor Lin's love words are endless, Chu Zi'an was a little defeated, hurriedly lowered his head, quickly drank the remaining porridge in the bowl, and muttered: "Don't talk about this, Professor Lin, where are you going to take me?" ”

Seeing that Chu Zi'an wanted to change the topic, Lin Yiyang also cooperated with her very considerately: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"I want to watch a movie with you, is that okay?"

Lin Yiyang sandwiched an omelette and put it in Chu Zi'an's bowl: "Okay, night time, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Zi'an nodded contentedly: "Okay, I can do it." ”

After the two of them finished breakfast, they set off for a date. Chu Zian sat in the passenger seat, looking very interested. The car gradually moved forward, and Chu Zi'an gradually became confused. Watching the car gradually drive out of Qincheng, Chu Zi'an turned to look at Lin Yiyang, "Professor Lin...... We're about to get out of Qincheng, right? Where are you going? ”

"Go to the Ancient Alley." Lin Yiyang concentrated on driving and did not turn his head to look at Chu Zi'an.

Chu Zi'an was a little surprised: "Ancient alley? It's so far away, isn't it? ”

Encountering a red light, Lin Yiyang stopped the car and turned his head to look at Chu Zi'an: "It's not too far, you can get there in an hour's drive." ”

An hour?

Chu Zi'an frowned slightly: "But you'll be tired after driving for so long, right?" ”

Lin Yiyang stretched out his hand, stroked Chu Zi'an's eyebrows, smoothed her frowning eyebrows, and smiled warmly: "It's okay, I won't be very tired." ”

When he arrived at the ancient alley, Lin Yiyang parked the car and got out of the car with Chu Zi'an.

After getting out of the car, Chu Zi'an walked up to Lin Yiyang, raised his neck, and stared at Lin Yiyang for a moment: "Professor Lin, why don't we find a place to rest first." ”

Lin Yiyang held Chu Zi'an's hand in the palm of his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not tired." ”

"Alright then, if you're tired, tell me, let's take a break."

This tone sounds, Chu Zi'an looks like a little adult, Lin Yiyang's eyebrows are slightly curved: "This tone sounds like an adult disobeying a child." ”

Chu Zi'an glared at Lin Yiyang unkindly: "Nonsense, in terms of age, Professor Lin, you are still five years older than me." If you had completed your PhD in a normal time, you would have been ten years older than me by now. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yiyang lowered his voice, which made people feel a little chill in their backs: "Huh? How do I listen, do you mean to dislike me for being old? ”

Chu Zi'an shivered coldly, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, hugged Lin Yiyang with lightning speed, and softened his voice, with a bit of begging for mercy: "No, no, Professor Lin, you are still so young, upright and in your prime of life, how can you be old?" ”

Lin Yiyang raised his eyebrows and dragged out a long tail note: "Oh." ”

Chu Zi'an wanted to boast a few more words, but Lin Yiyang grabbed the collar and pulled it down: "For the sake of you being so good at talking, I won't care about you." ”

It's the end of the winter vacation, and even some schools have already opened, so there are not as many tourists as there used to be in Guxiang, but it's not so desolate that no one is not so desolate.

After Lin Yiyang and Chu Zi'an entered from the entrance, they could see a small river after walking a short distance. It's winter, but it's already warming up a bit. There are several small wooden boats moored on the river for sightseeing.

Chu Zi'an has never been on a boat, let alone this rare, quiet and elegant small wooden boat. She excitedly pulled Lin Yiyang's hand: "Professor Lin, shall we take that small boat once?" ”

Looking in the direction of Chu Zi'an's finger, Lin Yiyang nodded: "Okay." The sound fell, with a slight force in his hand, he pulled Chu Zi'an towards the river.

When he came to the river, Lin Yiyang stepped into the boat first, and after the boat was stable, he helped Chu Zi'an and asked her to get on the boat too. The two of them walked to the bow of the boat, and in the process, Lin Yiyang kept holding Chu Zi'an's waist. Walking to the bow of the boat, Chu Zi'an was about to sit down when he was suddenly pulled by Lin Yiyang.

Without waiting for Chu Zi'an to ask what was wrong, Lin Yiyang turned sideways slightly and said to the old man holding the boat behind him: "Old man, do you have a mat here?" It's winter and I'm afraid my girlfriend will catch a cold. ”

Chu Zi'an blushed and whispered, "Professor Lin, I wear a lot of clothes, it's okay." ”

The boat supporter was an old man in his sixties, and from the time the two of them got on the boat, Lin Yiyang's every action fell in the eyes of the old man. He smiled kindly: "Hey, yes, yes." I'll get it for you. ”

"Thank you."

The old man turned around and took two steps, took out two cotton mats from the small shed on the boat and handed them to Lin Yiyang, and turned to look at Chu Zi'an: "Little girl, I see that your boyfriend is really good to you." ”

Chu Zi'an and Lin Yiyang glanced at each other, and said to the old man with a smile: "Well, he takes good care of me." ”

The boat began to drift forward, gradually moving away from the shore, and came to the middle of the river. Chu Zi'an looked left and right on both sides, full of curiosity about this somewhat unfamiliar and somewhat familiar scene: "Professor Lin, have you ever been to Guxiang before?" ”

Lin Yiyang leaned in the direction of Chu Zi'an and held her two somewhat cold hands in his hands: "I've been here once." ”

In the past few months with Lin Yiyang, Chu Zi'an has become accustomed to Lin Yiyang's closeness and care for him, and he also enjoys it: "Professor Lin, in fact, I also came to Guxiang once, with my mother, father and brother. But many years have passed, and I was still young, so I don't remember much about the scenery anymore. ”

Lin Yiyang never expected that Chu Zi'an had come to Guxiang. If he knew about this, he would never bring Chu Zi'an here: "An An, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come here." ”

Chu Zi'an knew what Lin Yiyang was thinking, and slowly shook her head, although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, there was no melancholy in her eyes, and she could vaguely see a little light: "I'm fine, Professor Lin." Fifteen years later, I finally mustered up the courage to meet my mother. When I was discharged from the hospital and went home, my father was afraid that I would have a recurrence, so he put away all the photos of my mother at home. Professor Lin, did you find out? In the past, if any memory of my mother is awakened, my emotions will be a little out of control, I'm afraid I will have an emotional breakdown when I hear that you are going to take me to the ancient alley, but now, I can face all the past. I can't say I'm cured, but I think it's okay anymore. And, little by little, I will pick up the memories of me and my mom again. ”

"An An ......" Hearing Chu Zi'an's words, Lin Yiyang was happy for Chu Zi'an: "Congratulations." ”

Chu Zi'an leaned over Lin Yiyang's shoulder with a happy face: "Professor Lin, do you know that today is Valentine's Day, so you specially took me out on a date?" ”

Lin Yiyang took out a free hand and rubbed Chu Zi'an's hair: "Hmm." I went on a business trip just after you had a holiday, and I haven't been with you well, so I want to take advantage of this Valentine's Day to take you out. ”

Chu Zi'an raised his head, took advantage of Lin Yiyang's inattention, and gently kissed him on the chin.
