MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 3

Shen Huaixing sent Mu Xueyi directly to the hospital.

The doctor came to see him and asked the nurse to put a needle first, and told Shen Huaixing that the patient had a fever for too long and had not been treated in time, and the bacteria had invaded the lungs and caused acute pneumonia. But fortunately, it is not serious. If you insist on playing the hanging bottle for a week, you should be able to recover quickly.

The four hanging bottles were beaten in a row, and one dozen hits into the middle of the night.

Shen Huaixing didn't go home and stayed by Mu Xueyi's side all the time. At the last bottle, Mu Xueyi woke up.

After Mu Xueyi opened her eyes, she immediately propped up her weak body and nodded to Shen Huaixing: "Teacher, please excuse me."

Shen Huaixing sat beside her bed, flexed his index finger and pushed his glasses with his phalanx, and said with a smile, "It seems that you didn't cause me enough trouble when you were in school, so you need to find a chance to supply me."

Hearing what Shen Huaixing said, Mu Xueyi couldn't help but think of the university's past.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

When she was in college, Shen Huaixing was the youngest and most beautiful female professor in the academy, and there were countless students who had a crush on her.

Mu Xueyi is also unavoidable.

Her ignorant and youthful first love, so recklessly handed it over to Shen Huaixing.

At first it was just her unrequited love.

She wrote many obscure love letters to Shen Huaixing, and had many raw and shy confessions, which Shen Huaixing rejected one by one gently and politely. But then slowly, I don't know when it started, Shen Huaixing's eyes fell more and more on this student, and the time stayed longer and longer. When she woke up every day, what she looked forward to most changed from doing academic research to waiting for a love letter from Mu Xueyi.

Later, after class one day, Shen Huaixing took the initiative to stop Mu Xueyi.

As long as the party being chased is willing to bow its head, it is easy for two people to be together.

They secretly talked about love in this way.

There are no impervious walls in the world. What's more, they always appear together in various places, the school playground, the cafeteria hall, the downstairs of the dormitory, and sometimes they hold hands. There are more and more people paying attention to them, and there are rumors in the school post bar forum that the second lady of Mu Shi and Professor Shen have an ambiguous relationship, which has caused a lot of discussion on the style.

The school did not dare to trouble Mu Xueyi, because Mu Shi invested a lot of money in the school, so they began to trouble Shen Huaixing.

During that time, Shen Huaixing was called over every three days to write a report for inspection, and was forced to suspend classes for a period of time in between, and his doctoral dissertation was almost unfinished.

Teacher-student love, no matter what era it is, is a sin that is pointed out by others.

Shen Huaixing knew very well that after he broke up with Mu Xueyi, it was not because this love had affected his career. She's not afraid of losing her job, she just can't get over that hurdle.

Everyone told her that young people are ignorant, and you can't be ignorant.

So, in order to be the "sensible" person in the mouth of others, she personally ended this worldly unacceptable relationship.

Mu Xueyi thought that she was causing trouble to Shen Huaixing, and when they broke up, she didn't dare to say anything to save her.

But after all, it was the purest love in the student days. Although there was reluctance, it was not to the extent that he would die if he was separated from the other party. After a long time, I was tired of crying, so I put it down.

In the following year, she entered Zhou Zhenyue's life trajectory, and the focus of her life became Zhou Zhenyue. Shen Huaixing became a name printed on the back of the graduation photo, lined up with other teachers, no different.

Over the years, she had little contact with Shen Huaixing, and she just sent polite greetings and greetings on New Years and holidays to maintain the last bit of friendship between teachers and students.

Six years have passed.

Whether it was she or Shen Huaixing, it was time to let go.

Shen Huaixing touched Mu Xueyi's forehead, seeing that her fever had subsided, and her heart settled down. He took the initiative to smile at Mu Xueyi: "How have you been all these years, Miss Mu Er?"

Mu Xueyi resisted the movement of Shen Huai's forehead, but he resisted and didn't show it, and only said, "It's okay."

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Shen Huaixing asked again: "Look at the circle of friends you posted, is there a conflict with your family?"

Mu Xueyi: "...Yes, it was a falling out."

Shen Huaixing: "How serious is it?"

Mu Xueyi made a little joke to adjust the somewhat rigid atmosphere: "It's serious enough that you can call me 'little beggar' in the future."

Shen Huaixing was really amused by her and laughed.

She didn't ask too much about her family affairs, but only asked: "Is there a place to live now?"

Mu Xueyi shook his head.

Shen Huaixing thought for a while, and said, "Well, you can live in my apartment first. There are one bedroom after another in my apartment. You can live in it until your matter is settled, and you won't be charged rent."

Mu Xueyi didn't agree immediately, and seemed to be a little grumpy about the past between them: "This...isn't it inconvenient?"

Shen Huaixing didn't care: "You are in trouble now. As your former teacher, I'm just helping you. I don't mind, what do you mind?"

Mu Xueyi was silent for a while, and hesitated: "But... I live in your apartment, won't it affect you to bring your boyfriend back..."

Shen Huaixing was taken aback.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "Xueyi, I'm still single."

Mu Xueyi lowered his head and did not speak.

Shen Huaixing stared at her and suddenly asked:

"What about you? Are you still single?"

Mu Xueyi thought about her current situation. Although she didn't want to admit it, Zhou Zhenyue did not agree to get back with her. Can only nod bitterly.

"is single."

Shen Huaixing also nodded and said nothing more.

After hanging the bottle, Shen Huaixing took Mu Xueyi back to his apartment. Although Mu Xueyi always felt that it was very inappropriate to live in Shen Huaixing's house, she really didn't have a better choice right now as a bereaved dog.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward at first, but after a night of injections and medicines, they chatted a lot.

Shen Huaixing treats her with a good measure of control, not deliberately alienating, nor close and ambiguous. Mu Xueyi felt that if she was so intentional to avoid suspicion, she seemed to be unable to let go of the past.

Before going to bed, Shen Huaixing took the initiative to mention to Mu Xueyi that a friend's new bar "the1" would open tomorrow night, and asked her if she would like to have a show with her, so she could relax.

Mu Xueyi was under the fence, and was embarrassed to shirk.

In the afternoon, Zhou Zhenyue was holding an important meeting with the senior management. When Xiao Ai was serving tea and water beside her, she caught a glimpse of Zhou Zhenyue flipping through WeChat during her break. She saw that Miss Mu Er had posted:

"Are there?"

Then Xiao Ai saw Zhou Zhenyue post the longest snort in history.

Zhou Zhenyue held the phone in both hands, her thumb was hanging above the input box, it seemed that she would press it in the next second, and it seemed that she would never press it. After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to have used a lot of thought to force herself to exit that interface.

She clicked into the circle of friends again, trying to distract her attention.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the circle of friends, the first one that came out was Mu Xueyi’s—

[High fever of 39 degrees, homeless [sick]]

Xiao Ai just glanced at the content, but before she could take a closer look, she saw Zhou Zhenyue stand up.

She hurriedly moved up: "Mr. Zhou, what do you need?"

Zhou Zhenyue picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and walked out, while walking, instructing: "Call Vice President Zhang to come and finish the meeting for me, go to the garage and drive the car to the door, and I will locate the destination in one minute. It will be sent to your phone later."

Xiao Ai: "Yes, I'll go right away!"

A minute later, she looked at the positioning sent by Zhou Zhenyue and clicked her tongue.

Sure enough, it was the position that Miss Mu Er's circle of friends brought.

Xiao Ai is happy for Miss Mu Er. After working so hard for so long, she can finally make some progress with this illness and Mr. Zhou.

But she never imagined that when she reached the destination, the car had not stopped yet, and the dazzling scene would be staged in front of them.

The street lights were dim, and the two figures under the lights were stacked together.

The air in the car was as oppressive as it was about to freeze into ice.

Xiao Ai kept her neck shrunk, not daring to take another look in the rearview mirror, the atmosphere was so solemn and suffocating.

After sending Zhou Zhenyue back to the old house, she slipped away as if running for her life.

Zhou Zhenyue entered the door, and changed her shoes at the entrance with a cold face. After changing her shoes, she took two steps inside, and saw her grandfather Zhou Fengnian sitting on the sofa watching TV.

She cleaned up her messy mood and expression, walked over and bowed her head to say hello:

"grandfather."

Zhou Fengnian was dressed in a pure white silk robe of immortal style, with gray eyebrows and beard. Like Zhou Zhenyue, he wore a quaint and warm jade ring on the index finger of his right hand.

This is the ancestral teaching that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The Zhou family must have jade in their hands.

Zhou Fengnian beckoned to Zhou Zhenyue with a friendly face: "Crescent Moon, come here and sit."

Zhou Zhenyue obediently walked to Zhou Fengnian's side and sat down, her back straight as bamboo.

Zhou Fengnian poured her a cup of hot tea, stroked his beard, and asked slowly: "Xue girl has been looking for you recently, why are you ignoring her?"

Few people knew that Mu Xueyi stole documents three years ago, so Zhou Zhenyue did not choose to tell her family. Zhou Fengnian always thought that their breakup was just a relationship problem.

In the company, the consequences of leaking secrets were also borne by her alone. That year, the company's stock market plummeted, and partners switched to Mu Moser. The board of directors almost pulled her from the position of chairman because of this incident, and she did not tell anyone that Mu Xueyi stole the documents.

She always left a way for Mu Xueyi.

Leave a way for them to be together again.

Zhou Fengnian added: "I've said it many times, don't think that there is something difficult between you two just because Xueyatou is the second young lady of the Mu family. Although I'm old, I'm not confused, and I can't help it. Descendants, no matter how fierce the competition between companies is in the business field, you can't have any prejudice against her because of this, you know?"

Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a while, then nodded: "I see, grandpa."

Zhou Fengnian feigned anger: "It's good to know! Don't play with her, make up as soon as possible, and bring her home."

Zhou Zhenyue pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Zhou Fengnian sighed: "I think I even bought a wedding room for you two back then, but I didn't expect you two to break up after breaking up, which made me so worried that I couldn't sleep well at night. Girl Xue is so cute and weak. My child, you are so good to you, it must be your sulky fault that you two broke up. Now that she is back, you are so cold to her, I can't stand it anymore! "

Zhou Zhenyue frowned at Zhou Fengnian, and immediately lowered her head: "I was wrong, Grandpa."

"If you know it's wrong, it's fine. You know the rules of our family. The ancestors paid attention to 'golden and jade good luck'. Send it to Girl Xue as an apology and as an engagement."

The elderly pay more attention to customs and traditions. For the Zhou family, a piece of gold is more meaningful than a diamond ring.

Zhou Zhenyue was unwilling to go against the wishes of the old man, so she agreed to everything Zhou Fengnian said.

She was afraid that Zhou Fengnian would start to prepare the details of their wedding, so she took a break to say goodbye and went upstairs.

After a brief wash, she sat on the bamboo chair on the balcony and flipped through a heavy English book. Looking at it, my thoughts can't help but drift away.

Can she and Mu Xueyi really be together?

She did not deny that she still liked Mu Xueyi, just like when she saw her in the rain, she wanted to go up to hold an umbrella for her, and when she said she had a fever and was homeless, she wanted to take her home. However, the previous betrayal had buried a solid stalk in her heart, which could not be resolved or avoided.

She still likes her.

But she doesn't seem to be able to trust her as much as before.

For example, Mu Xueyi shouted to her in the heavy rain: "I like you!"

After so many years, it was the first time she heard that she liked her, but she couldn't help but have a different idea in her heart:

Is it true this time?

Or is she trying to deceive something from herself?

Trust is like a mirror. After it is broken, no matter how hard you try, there will be irreparable cracks.

Zhou Zhenyue understood this truth.

Therefore, no matter how much she likes Mu Xueyi, she does not plan to get back with her.

However, after seeing Mu Xueyi hugging that strange woman today, Zhou Zhenyue suddenly discovered that she was more concerned that the person around Mu Xueyi was not herself, rather than repairing the seemingly impossible crack.

I don't want to be close to her anymore.

But he couldn't help but want to take her as his own.

Grinding contradictions.

The phone suddenly began to vibrate.

Zhou Zhenyue came back to her senses, and it seemed that the caller was Li Lulu, so she picked it up: "Mr. Li?"

Li Lulu's fiery voice sounded against the noisy background: "President Zhou Da! How are you doing recently?"

Zhou Zhenyue: "Speak straight if you have something."

Li Lulu: "Hey, yes, you really don't talk much, and you don't talk to me too much for a gossip!"

Zhou Zhenyue: "...Speak up if you have something to say." Repeated it again.

Li Lulu: "Are you free tomorrow? There is a new bar called 'the1' that will open tomorrow, and I have shares in it. I am the owner of the new store, and I invited a few friends to gather together."

Zhou Zhenyue just opened her mouth, and before she said a word, she heard Li Lulu say again:

"Hey, I know you can't tell. Hehe, I'll tell you secretly, there is Shen Huaixing, Professor Shen, who you've always wanted to know! Well, didn't you want to talk to her family about school-enterprise cooperation for a long time? Are you going?"

"…"

Zhou Zhenyue weighed for a moment and responded:

"go."
