"So "Liao Zhai" is not just famous for ghost stories as we know it. It is recognized by academic circles as the most outstanding collection of classical Chinese short stories in ancient my country. From language to artistic conception, the stories are all top-notch... That’s it for today’s class. The homework is just a few questions left on the PPT. Ahem, is there anything else you want to ask?”
She looked at the time and saw that there were still seven or eight minutes left, but she was obviously a little distracted now, and the class was over. If she was caught leaving get out of class early, she would be criticized, so she simply asked her classmates to study by themselves.
"If there's no problem, just study on your own and read the previous text again."
The female teacher on the podium is wearing a gentle light green dress. The texture and tailoring of the fabric are Zen-like. She has a gauze shawl on her shoulders. Her shoulders are very thin and narrow. She is always frowning. The students underneath I always feel that Teacher Su is preoccupied and thinks that she is a mature and beautiful independent woman. In fact, the woman's feet under the podium use the heels as a point of support from time to time and try to maintain balance. When she is almost unable to stand, she calmly holds on to the podium.
She is a mature and independent woman, and she also behaves like a little girl occasionally.
"Teacher..." A classmate raised her hand. She was a girl. She asked, "Do you think there are monsters in the world?"
This is obviously an issue that has nothing to do with the course.
Su Xiaoxin was stunned.
Are there monsters in the world?
A normal person would definitely answer no to such a question, but Su Xiaoxin had desperately searched for an answer to this question in the past, during that short period of her chaotic and confused life.
She coughed twice and smiled softly: "Teacher doesn't know either, but if there really is one, teacher hopes to see what the monster looks like."
"Ah? Why would teacher want to see monsters?" The students around him were obviously more interested in this question.
Su Xiaoxin just smiled and shook her head without answering. The bell rang and she left the classroom on high heels.
Her steps were a little brisk, and she looked more like the college student next to her than a woman in her late thirties.
Su Xiaoxin was in a good mood today because her son said he wanted to see her. There was a flood of college students going to work for lunch after school in the afternoon. She stopped by the torrent and watched.
"Teacher Su?" Someone called her.
Su Xiaoxin looked up and looked at the teacher from the same department, and nodded politely: "Teacher Zeng, you also have class today."
"Yeah, what a coincidence, why don't we go have a meal together?"
Su Xiaoxin looked embarrassed: "Sorry, I'm waiting for someone."
"That's it..." He said as if he suddenly remembered, "By the way, Teacher Su, I brought two boxes of longans picked in my hometown a few days ago, and the teachers in the office also brought a few bags. It’s just you, can I send it to your dormitory tonight?”
"Ah, no need, Teacher Zeng, I won't eat fruit because I have a cold. Thank you."
"You have a cold? Have you asked for any medicine?"
He seemed a bit unfinished.
Su Xiaoxin had a soft temper and didn't know how to get rid of it. At this moment, someone next to her shouted: "Mom, why are you standing here? No wonder I didn't see you coming out for a long time."
This cry of "Mom" made Su Xiaoxin very happy.
She saw a boy who was half a head taller than her walking over with a black cat in his arms.
"mom?"
Teacher Zeng was obviously down.
In his mind, Su Xiaoxin has always been an older leftover girl, and a high-quality older leftover girl.
Why did a son suddenly appear?
He silently looked up at the tall Feng Wuli.
And he has a son as big as his mother?
"Why did you bring the cat out?" Su Xiaoxin had a smile in her eyes.
Feng Wuli rolled his eyes at Ye Ji in his arms: "She insists on coming out."
Yeji meowed twice, seemingly dissatisfied with Feng Wuli's tone.
Su Xiaoxin then introduced Feng Wuli to the stalking man next to her. She just introduced him by name, and then pulled Feng Wuli away.
The middle-aged man, who clearly had "malicious intentions", was left in situ, disheveled in the wind.
"He seems to want to chase you." Feng Wuli said bluntly.
"What are you kiddo talking about?"
"Aren't you interested in him? But I also feel that he is reliable. If you ask me for my opinion, I don't think this will work."
Su Xiaoxin patted his shoulder angrily, and said with a smile: "You still care about these things of mine,"
"Of course it mainly depends on you."
"Stop talking about this, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
There is a monster that has been causing mischief here recently, and Director Yang sent him to deal with it. Of course, it was impossible for Feng Wuli to say that. He just said: "I miss you."
Su Xiaoxin was as happy as a child.
Then he coughed a few more times.
"you're uncomfortable?"
"Just a few coughs."
Feng Wuli didn't want to hug this lazy cat anymore, so he threw it away. As expected, Ye Ji was seriously dissatisfied. She followed him and cursed, but Feng Wuli said nothing and didn't hug her.
"Don't you use a leash as a cat?"
"Need not."
"Unreasonable mother, please hold me." She ran to Su Xiaoxin again and acted coquettishly.
"Does she want me to hug her?" Su Xiaoxin said with a smile.
"Ignore her, she's too lazy."
Ye Ji rolled on the spot in front of Su Xiaoxin. As a monster, her coquettishness and cuteness reached the peak, which was simply the shame of a monster.
Su Xiaoxin picked her up.
She stopped coughing after being picked up.
"Are many people in your school coughing recently?" Feng Wuli asked.
"Yeah, maybe I caught a cold due to the change of season."
"I want to go and sit in your teacher's apartment."
"good."
But when she arrived at her teacher's apartment, Su Xiaoxin suddenly thought of something and hesitated reluctantly. Feng Wuli was a little strange. After entering, she knew why.
A messy room, shabby furniture, unpacked clothes, and a few empty beer cans on the floor.
Yeji didn't mind the mess, so she jumped onto the sofa. She had obviously gained weight recently, and before she jumped up the first time, she rolled over and fell to the ground. However, she was not embarrassed and twisted her butt the second time. He jumped up and said, "I'm really exhausted."
It was obvious that he was being held all the time.
Feng Wuli turned around and looked at her. Su Xiaoxin was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her face.
She also tried to explain: "My mother usually takes care of herself, but I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I just got lazy..."
"You're not feeling well and you're still drinking?"
"...last week." She wanted to die.
He sighed, went over to help her put away the empty jars, and asked her where the brooms were. Su Xiaoxin hurriedly said that she could just come.
Feng Wuli felt that she had not changed. She was still the same as he had in his few memories when he was a child. She could live a messy life, confused and at a loss. Some people said that being a parent does not require studying, taking exams, and then getting certified to work. The same goes for being an adult.
Su Xiaoxin is not a qualified mother, nor is she a qualified adult. She just always hopes that she is. When she fought for Feng Wuli's custody rights, she was just a female college student. She was very confused at the time.
Very confused now.
This is her, no wonder she is.
After the mother and son cleaned up the apartment, Feng Wuli discovered that a light bulb was burned out, and it probably had been broken for a while, so he went to buy a light bulb and put it back in place.
Su Xiaoxin held the chair for him and said to be careful over and over again, with uneasiness and worry in her eyes. She only knew that it was her son on the chair. All she could do was hold the chair steady, and not drop her child. .
