302: Chapter 302: Professor Lin Pays a Visit 302: Chapter 302: Professor Lin Pays a Visit “Hmm~ Hmm-hmm-hmm~ Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm~”
Tang Yuxin, in an exceptionally good mood, walked on the path to the classroom.
Ever since last night, when Xiao Fei montarily stood up from his wheelchair, Tang Yuxin’s mood had hit its highest point in a long ti.
Her spirits were soaring, and everything seed more beautiful than ever.
Even this morning, while driving to work, when an oblivious old man attempted to fake an accident, Tang Yuxin greeted him with a cheerful smile.
Leaving the old man utterly bewildered.
“Ah!
Teacher Tang!”
“Good morning, Teacher Tang~”
“Hello, Teacher Tang~”
On her way, all the students greeted Tang Yuxin, and for the first ti in history…
She responded with a smile.
The radiance of her smile left the students who received her response stunned on the spot.
“Am I dreaming?”
A male student turned to his companion.
“Did Teacher Tang just smile at us?”
“She looks so pretty…”
“Hey!
Wake up!
Haven’t you seen the posts on the campus forum?
Teacher Tang’s husband is our senior.”
…
“Yu…xin…!”
A drawn-out voice suddenly called from behind Tang Yuxin.
In the next mont…
Jiang Yu’s playful yet charming face erged from the side, behind her.
Tang Yuxin shot her a look.
These days, ever since Jiang Yu found out about Xiao Fei’s situation and noticed Tang Yuxin’s lancholic deanor, Jiang Yu had been trying to cheer her up daily.
Though her actions looked silly, Tang Yuxin sincerely felt her coworker and friend’s genuine concern.
“You’re always being silly.
Can you stop?”
Tang Yuxin reached out and lightly tapped Jiang Yu’s forehead.
The latter stared blankly at Tang Yuxin.
In the past, whenever Jiang Yu tried to cheer her up, Tang Yuxin’s response was always lukewarm.
Today felt completely different.
Confused, Jiang Yu looked at Tang Yuxin and mumbled, “I feel like Teacher Tang, there’s sothing special about you today.”
“Oh?
What’s different about ?”
“Umm…
you seem alive?”
“What kind of odd remark is that?”
“Well, it’s just a feeling.
A few days ago, Teacher Tang, although you were physically here, it felt like there was a whole world separating us.
Cold and distant—even in the sumr, we didn’t need to turn on the air conditioning.”
Halfway through, Jiang Yu suddenly brightened up.
“Did sothing good happen?
Has your husband’s condition improved?”
“Yes.”
At the ntion of this, Tang Yuxin’s lips instantly curled into a smile.
“Yesterday, Xiao Fei even stood up from his wheelchair.
Although he still can’t walk, it’s the first ti he’s stood up since the accident.”
“Really?
That’s wonderful news!”
“We should visit him soon.”
Jiang Yu, along with Yuan Tong and others, had considered visiting Xiao Fei earlier.
After all, they used to share a teacher-student relationship, and now they were friends.
Logically and emotionally, visiting Xiao Fei after the accident felt right.
However, considering his serious injuries and his family’s challenges in caring for him, they decided not to disturb him.
Now that Xiao Fei’s condition was improving, it seed the right ti for them to go.
By the ti Tang Yuxin and Jiang Yu arrived at the office together, Jiang Yu had already passed this good news to their colleagues.
Imdiately, everyone showered Tang Yuxin with congratulations.
That noon, Tang Yuxin went to the teachers’ cafeteria.
Since Xiao Fei’s injury, it had been impossible for her to enjoy the lovingly prepared lunches he used to make.
While she was eating, an unexpected figure suddenly sat down across from her.
“Professor Lin?”
“So, I heard that Xiao Fei can stand up now?”
Sitting down, Professor Lin asked with a beaming smile.
Tang Yuxin quickly nodded.
“Professor Lin, you already knew?”
“Of course.
He’s one of my students, and the best among them all.
Do you think I wouldn’t pay extra attention to him?”
“Oh, co on…”
Tang Yuxin shook her head vigorously.
“Professor Lin, you’re overpraising him.
Xiao Fei barely cos to school.
How could he possibly be your best student?”
Hearing this, Professor Lin burst into laughter.
“Haha, from your reaction, it seems you have no idea.”
“No idea about what?”
Tang Yuxin felt there was sothing hidden in Professor Lin’s words.
Could Xiao Fei have done sothing while she was unaware?
“Judging by your expression, you really don’t know.”
Professor Lin tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
“You know, the boy chose a field based purely on theoretical research, right?”
“Yes, I know.
It’s because of the baby.”
“Exactly.”
Professor Lin sighed deeply.
“Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from him with his paper.
It truly blew away—made the old man eager to rush over to your house last night to see him.”
“Considering his injuries and your family’s situation, I held back.
But now that I know Xiao Fei can stand, I figured I’d use this chance to visit.”
“By the way, his ntor’s wife even made him so porridge.
I’ll bring it with .”
This ti, Tang Yuxin was genuinely astonished.
What kind of paper had Xiao Fei written to make the old professor want to et him personally?
“Professor, did Xiao Fei really write an incredible paper?”
“Yes, it was outstanding.
Though it didn’t yield breakthroughs in his research field, it offered unique and unprecedented ideas that might lead to unexpected advancents in the future.
I plan to discuss it with him…”
“Hmm, relax, I won’t put too much pressure on him.
You don’t have to look so pitiful.”
Professor Lin’s observation left Tang Yuxin slightly embarrassed.
She smiled awkwardly.
But internally, she was filled with pride for Xiao Fei, coupled with a tinge of annoyance.
…Her husband always went against orders.
Hadn’t she told him to set everything aside and focus on recovering?
Professor Lin, of course, wouldn’t wait until Tang Yuxin got off work in the afternoon to visit.
Being a busy man, he couldn’t say when he’d find the ti again.
So, while Tang Yuxin was still working in the afternoon, Professor Lin, with porridge made by Xiao Fei’s ntor’s wife, arrived at Star Moon Bay.
“Kid, this place looks like a palace!”
Seeing Xiao Fei’s house for the first ti, Professor Lin was slightly overwheld.
He knew Xiao Fei was wealthy but had never experienced such direct opulence.
As one of Xia Country’s most renowned professors, holding a position at the Academy of Sciences, Professor Lin himself certainly wasn’t short on money.
In fact, many of his everyday expenses were reimbursed.
His salary often had nowhere to go.
Yet, despite all that, Professor Lin always lived modestly—without a car, in a governnt-assigned house, using public transport.
“Professor, please don’t tease .”
“Haha…
Can’t I joke around with you a bit?”
“Here, this is from your ntor’s wife.
Of course, it won’t taste as good as what you make.”
“Not at all!
Her cooking must be amazing!”
Smiling, Xiao Fei accepted the insulated food container.
Beside him, Wang Fang quickly took it from his hands with a grin.
Then, she just stared at Professor Lin.
Staring…
Professor Lin: “Uh…
This lady, is she your sister?”
“Pfft…
Professor, this is my mom…”
“!?”
“Ah, my apologies.
Turns out she’s Xiao Fei’s mother.”
Wang Fang laughed softly, covering her mouth.
“Oh, no, no!
You’re Xiao Fei’s teacher, a professor…”
Staring…
“Mom!
What are you doing?!”
“Looking at the professor!
It’s the first ti I’ve seen soone who’s been on TV and received accolades as a scientist.
Why can’t I admire him?”
Sure enough, once Wang Fang’s childlike side erged, no one could stop her.
Xiao Fei helplessly shrugged and gave Professor Lin an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, Professor.
I apologize for having such a mother.”
Professor Lin didn’t mind at all.
While being stared at felt slightly awkward…
This kid’s family dynamic was so heartwarming it made even an old fellow like him envious.
