"Brother Lin's business? What's up? Is it serious? Zhang Nanyan asked anxiously.

Wu Zheng was stunned: "Lin Dong didn't tell you?" ”

Zhang Nanyan shook her head anxiously, grabbed Wu Zheng and asked, "What happened?" What are you going to say? ”

"Lin Dong published a professional article in a professional journal that leaked the key data results of the college's scientific research projects."

"Leaks? Is that serious? ”

"This project is a key project of cooperation between the institute and the scientific research institute, that is, some time ago, Professor Zheng took Lin Dong to H Province on a business trip to do the work, which had been successfully completed, waiting for the approval of scientific research results, who would have thought that Lin Dong would leak key data. Alas, the key is still joint scientific research projects, and the impact should not be small. ”

Zhang Nanyan heard the seriousness of the matter, and asked anxiously: "What should I do then?" ”

"I heard that the leaders of the institute are going to punish Lin Dong and cancel his qualifications for research. Alas, Lin Dong is also unlucky enough, his mother has just been sick, and this kind of thing happened, it is really a disaster...... Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, Teacher Zheng is already doing his best to protect Lin Dong......"

Zhang Nanyan's face was pale, what was sick? There are also leaks...... Brother Lin had so many things happening, she didn't even know anything.

and Mr. Zheng, his own work has been affected by rumors, and now he is coming forward for Lin Dong, isn't it even more tiring?

And she, at this time, did not support Brother Lin by his side, let alone take care of Teacher Zheng's life.

"I really shouldn't have it!"

Zhang Nanyan scolded herself in her heart, and she said to Xia Baiping: "Teacher Xia, I'll go back with you now." ”

Zhang Nanyan and Xia Baiping returned to Zheng's house together.

Zhang Nanyan immediately went to work, cleaned the house, and made a delicious meal.

As soon as Zheng Fan entered the door, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The cold home is warm again, the bright light illuminates the neat living room, the smell of oil smoke in the kitchen has not completely dissipated, and the smell of food wafts on the dining table.

Zheng Fan stood quietly at the door for a few seconds, his irritable heart calming down. He thought of a story in his heart, it was the story of the snail girl, he remembered that when he was a little boy, marrying a beautiful and hardworking wife like the snail girl was his initial fantasy of love, at this moment, he felt the smell of fireworks, and once again fell into the touch like a boy.

"Teacher Zheng, you're back."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Nanyan came out of the kitchen: "You change your clothes first, and I'll go serve dinner." ”

Zhang Nanyan was wearing a sweater, an apron tied around her waist, her face was red and shiny with heat and oil smoke, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked and smiling.

Zheng Fan was in a trance, as if he had walked into a fairy tale, and God really gave him a conch girl.

Xia Baiping looked at it coldly, and forced herself to smile the next moment, she felt flattering, but she had to laugh more eagerly.

"Lao Zheng, you're back."

Zheng Fan's gaze passed through the kitchen door, tracking Zhang Nanyan's figure.

"Oh, I asked Xiao Zhang to come back to work without consulting you in advance, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?"

Zheng Fan's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't even change his slippers, and walked to the kitchen.

"How did you get back? Don't push yourself! ”

Zhang Nanyan served the soup, held a huge soup bowl, and said, "I am willing to come back to work......

Zheng Fan hurriedly went to pick up the soup bowl in Zhang Nanyan's hand, but Zhang Nanyan refused: "Don't move, be careful of scalding." ”

Zheng Fan looked at Zhang Nanyan's fingers holding the soup bowl, and the tips of his fingers were burned red.

He frowned, insisted on taking the soup bowl, turned and walked to the dining room, and put it on the table.

Only then did he look at Xia Baiping: "Why do you want to drag others into the war between you and me again." ”

Xia Baiping's heart hurt, he only saw that the little girl's fingers were red, and he didn't even think about how difficult she had walked upstairs and downstairs. Xia Baiping despised herself and was so despised that she abandoned her self-esteem to flatter and flatter, but she had no choice, she couldn't do without Zheng Fan.

Xia Baiping showed a pitiful smile: "There is no war between us, it's all my fault, I admit my mistake and surrender, and I won't do it again." ”

Faced with Xia Baiping's humble attitude, Zheng Fan was noncommittal, he turned to Zhang Nanyan and said, "Don't be reluctant. ”

Zhang Nanyan replied: "I'm not reluctant, I really want to come back." Teacher Zheng, I go back on my word, I have no conscience, I am greedy for your help when I need it, and I am upset for myself when I am wronged, I will not be in the future, I will work hard. ”

Zheng Fan looked at Zhang Nanyan with such a gentle gaze.

Xia Baiping felt sad.

"I promise, this is my last willfulness, you let me come back."

Zheng Fan smiled and nodded, silly girl, how could he refuse her?

"Okay, let's eat, from now on, we will be a family."

Xia Baiping said with a smile. is like a mermaid princess who stepped on the tip of a knife in exchange for her legs, she was distressed, but she smiled and inserted the three words "family" into the tip of her heart one by one.

After dinner, Zhang Nanyan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and came to the study.

Zheng Fan is reading at his desk.

Zhang Nanyan called softly: "Teacher Zheng." ”

Zheng Fan woke up from his trance, looked at Zhang Nanyan, and blurted out: "Little Yanzi, what's the matter?" ”

"Teacher Zheng, ...... about Brother Lin"

Lin ...... Oh, it's Lin Dong's business, I'm negotiating with the hospital, and I'll fight with reason. ”

"Thank you." Zhang Nanyan said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"He is my student, and protecting them is what I should do."

After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became frozen.

Zhang Nanyan didn't know what to say, she was embarrassed to study in the same room with Teacher Zheng as before, and she didn't want to walk away immediately.

Zheng Fan was also silent, it was unthinkable that he would be as nervous and cramped as young as he was at this age.

"Lao Zheng, I'm in good spirits today, can I borrow a corner of your study to read?"

Xia Baiping arrived appropriately.

"Okay." Zheng Fan agreed.

"Xiao Zhang is also here, the best reading in the world is good, let's read at night with candles."

Xia Baiping pulled Zhang Nanyan into the study together.

The three of them each held a book, each occupied a corner, and read quietly.

Zheng Fan looked at the book in front of him that had not turned a page for a long time, and laughed at himself.

……

Two days later, Lin Dong finally returned to school.

He did not come to see Zhang Nanyan, and Zhang Nanyan only learned the news that he had returned to school through Teacher Zheng.

Teacher Zheng and Lin Dong talked on the phone and asked Lin Dong to go to the dean's office immediately.

Zheng Fan hung up the phone and immediately prepared to go out. He saw Zhang Nanyan looking over with concern, and knew that she was worried about Lin Dong, so Zheng Fan deliberately stopped and said to Zhang Nanyan: "Lin Dong has returned to school, I asked him to go to the dean's office immediately, explain and admit his mistake to the dean in person, and I will go over now." You can rest assured. ”

Zhang Nanyan thanked Zheng Fan gratefully: "Thank you. ”

Zheng Fan nodded with a smile and went out.

Zhang Nanyan was restless all morning. Wipe the table halfway through and forget where the rag was; Mopping the floor has dragged a living room three or four times; I was ironing my clothes when I heard the water boiling on the kitchen gas stove, and I went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, but I forgot the iron on my clothes.

Xia Baiping picked up the iron, turned off the power, and turned around to see Zhang Nanyan looking downstairs from the kitchen window again.

Xia Baiping felt a resentment in her heart, and said bitterly: "Who are you worried about?" ”
