Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 293 A star slipped down in the night sky
One morning in early July.

Tang Wan's hair was loose, nestled in the silky air-conditioned quilt, and was watching Korean dramas on her mobile phone. Through the gaps in her hair, she could vaguely see a small white earphone plugged into her ears.

Under the quilt, a pair of slender and tight long legs stick out, exposed to the slightly cool air, like a pair of pure white and flawless jade.

In the quiet room, only the buzzing sound of the air conditioner motor running and the girl's silly laughter of "hehehe" from time to time.

Suddenly, the sound in the earphones stopped abruptly, and the video on the mobile phone also came to a standstill, as if the network was disconnected.

"What's the matter? My mother messed up the hygiene again and broke the net?"

Tang Wan picked up the phone and was about to check the WiFi information. In a blink of an eye, the screen switched to the incoming call page, and a ringtone rang in her ears at the same time.

"Huh? Why is Aunt Shen calling me at this hour?"

With doubts, Logan connected the phone and said, "Good morning, Aunt Shen."

[Good morning, Wanwan, have you had breakfast yet? 】

Tang Wan turned over, lay on her back on the bed, and replied: "I've eaten, do you have anything urgent to do with me?"

[That's right.Have you been free for the last three or four days? 】

Logan recalled the arrangements for the past few days, and said, "I'm free, what do I need to do?"

The person on the other side of the phone paused inexplicably, as if there was something unspeakable, and after a while, Shen Yuyin spoke again.

【Grandfather passed away last night. 】

Logan was stunned for a moment, her brain was a little overwhelmed.Afterwards, she sat up abruptly from the bed and asked, "Does Lu You know about this?"

[I don’t know, I haven’t told him yet.He's going to play tonight, and grandpa told me not to bother him. 】

A few days ago, Lu You followed the Mathematical Olympiad national team and took a plane to Gotham to participate in this year's imo.At this time, he was located twelve time zones away, on the other side of the earth, not in the country at all.

"Is it really good to hide it from him like this?" Logan asked uncertainly.

[This is not concealment, it is an appropriate delay.Grandpa once said that everyone will leave one day, don't make a lot of fanfare because of his departure.When the game is over, someone will inform my son of the news as soon as possible. 】

Logan felt that it was not good to do so.Whether Lu You will come back or not, he should be allowed to make the decision after he learns the truth, instead of the family unilaterally using "for your own good" as an excuse to make the decision for him.

But on the other hand, Logan can also understand Shen Yuyin's approach.Just like the wave of divorce after the college entrance examination, Lu You's one-year dedication is about to be paid off, and he can't affect his mental state at this critical moment and hold him back.

"I understand, Aunt Shen, I will cooperate with you."

【Cooperation is secondary. I have one more important thing to ask for your help. 】

"What's the matter, you said."

[I hope you can go back with us and attend the funeral of my great-grandfather in the name of my son. 】

Fearing that Logan would refuse, Shen Yuyin quickly added.

[Don't worry, it won't be too much trouble.You just need to follow behind us and give a flower to the stage, and you can move freely for the rest of the time. 】

Tang Wan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"No problem, Auntie, I'll go back with you."

Tang Wan jumped out of bed, ran to the closet with bare feet, opened the closet door, and asked, "Are there any special requirements for dress?"

【Wear black and plain clothes as much as possible. If not, I will give you two sets. My clothes should fit your figure. 】

After all, it was a temporary request, and this troublesome matter should be resolved by Shen Yuyin.

"Auntie, wait for me, I'll look for it."

Logan put the phone on the bed, rummaged through the box for a while, and finally found a black minimalist dress at the bottom of the box.

But because the age is too long, with Logan's current figure, it is impossible to wear it.

Tang Wan came to the mirror in disbelief, picked up the dress and compared it twice, and finally chose to give up.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, it looks like I have to wear your clothes." Logan picked up the phone and said helplessly.

【What can you be sorry for?It's me who should have said that, asking you to come home with us for no reason, or to attend the funeral. 】

"It's not for nothing!"

Tang Wan said seriously: "I'm Lu You's girlfriend. Since he doesn't have time, it's only right that I attend his grandfather's funeral for him."

Shen Yuyin became more and more satisfied with Logan.Not only is she smart, beautiful, and has a good personality, but she is also willing to take the initiative to integrate into the other party's family. Such a girl can't be found with a lantern.

[Let’s do this first, I won’t bother you anymore.You bring two or three sets of change of clothes, and I will pick you up at the gate of your community in an hour. 】

"Well, see you later."

【see you later. 】

After hanging up the phone, Logan didn't bother. She quickly changed her clothes, tidied her hair, and made sure that her appearance was in order. Then she spent more than half an hour packing her luggage, turned off the air conditioner at random, and left the bedroom.

"m..."

Tang Wan came to the living room, before she finished shouting "Mom", Zhao Huijuan, like a prophet, said first, "Is everything packed?"

"You know I'm going out?" Logan asked curiously.

"Xiao Lu's mother told me."

Zhao Huijuan walked up to Tang Wan, and while carefully helping her tidy up her appearance, she instructed: "This time going to someone else's house is different from the past, so pay more attention to the rules.

See more, talk less, do less, don't be too enthusiastic, try to stand aside as a little transparent, don't mix anything, do you hear clearly? "

Tang Wan nodded solemnly, and said, "I understand, it's been played in TV dramas."

"very good."

Zhao Huijuan showed a gratified smile, patted Tang Wan's shoulder lightly, and said, "Go, don't let people wait for you."

……

Tang Wan was carrying a slightly heavy travel bag, and just walked out of the gate of the community, a familiar Maybach slowly parked in front of her.

With a "click", the rear door opens automatically.

Shen Yuyin poked her head out from the co-pilot, said with a smile, "I'll just wait for you, get in the car!"

Tang Wan opened the car door, and Ma Liu sat in the back seat.

Still the familiar fragrance, comfortable leather seats.Although the big guys run on four wheels, in terms of comfort, there is still a significant difference between luxury cars and Volkswagen cars.

Logan put down her backpack, fastened her seat belt, and said, "Uncle, you can go."

Lu Jianyan glanced at the rearview mirror, then lightly stepped on the accelerator, started the car steadily, and drove onto the main road.

No one in the car spoke, and there was a heavy atmosphere in the space. Lu Jingshu, the only one who could break the situation, raised her head early and fell into a deep dream.

Logan began to regret following her. This atmosphere made her feel restless, which was very embarrassing.

Just then, a crisp mobile phone ring broke the quagmire-like silence.

【husband!My savior! 】

Tang Wan almost burst into tears, quickly took out the phone from her pocket, and tremblingly clicked on the letter from vx.

Ly: Are you up yet?
Wan: woo woo woo~ X﹏X
Wan: Fortunately, you are here!
Ly: What happened?
Logan sniffed, and quickly tapped the virtual keyboard with her fingers.

Wan: It’s okay, I miss you very much!

Ly: Are you all right?

Wan: It's all right!
Ly: I don't believe it, let me watch the video.

Without giving Logan a chance to reply, Lu You made a video call.

Looking at the beating mobile phone, Tang Wan suddenly panicked and asked at a loss: "Auntie, Lu You asked me to start a video with him, what should I do?"

Shen Yuyin's thoughts changed sharply, and she soon had an answer.

"Hang up first, and then tell him that I will take you out for a trip. Now that you are on the highway, the signal is not good. By the way, take a picture of Xiaoshu sleeping and send it to him to increase credibility."

Tang Wan's face turned pale, and she stammered, "I, I don't want to lie to him!"

Shen Yuyin stared at Tang Wan through the rearview mirror, and said, "You have the phone in your hand, and you can choose to tell him the truth. I won't stop you."

After hesitating for a long time, Tang Wan still rejected Lu You's video request, but she didn't follow what Shen Yuyin said.

Wan: I'm on the way back to your hometown, the signal is not very good, so I won't video.

Ly: What are you doing back home?
Wan: There is something wrong, you will know after the game.

Wan: Picture.jpg
Wan: Look, how cute your sister is sleeping~

Tang Wan firmly held the phone with both hands, staring at the vx chat box for a moment, not daring to move away, for fear of missing Lu You's reply.

She didn't want to lie to Lu You, and at the same time, she didn't want to affect Lu You's game, so she had to change the subject clumsily.

Even so, Logan's heart was filled with countless guilt, which almost crushed her.

[Don't find out, don't find out, please don't find out! 】

After two to three minutes, Lu You's latest news appeared in the chat box.

The Maiden's Prayer seems to be working.

Ly: It's cute, but it's still a lot worse than you.

"Huh—that's great!"

Tang Wan felt relieved, and leaned back on the chair wearily, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, Shen Yuyin asked, "Did you cheat?"

"Ah."

But then Tang Wan sat up straight and shook her head, and changed her words: "No, I didn't lie to him, but kept it a secret."

"Is there a difference?"

"There are still some, at least I feel less guilty. When he comes back, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake to him."

After finishing speaking, Tang Wan lowered her head and continued to focus on the chat with Lu You.

Wan: It's useless to praise me.

Wan: You and I are separated by an earth, so I can't give you rewards.

Ly: astringent figure plz
Wan: No.

Ly: You can shoot now.

Tang Wan's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Lu Jianyan and Shen Yuyin with a guilty conscience.

Wan: Your parents are still here, I dare not.

Ly: Starve the timid to death, and support the bold to death.

Ly: You will win if you fight hard!

Wan: Still not working!Wait for you to come back!

Wan: I will accompany you any way you want to play then!

Ly: You said it!I took a screenshot!
……

Far away Gotham City.

The night covers the earth, and the bright galaxy hangs in the sky, shining brightly.

After finishing the chat with Tang Wan, Lu You got off the bed and said, "Hemorrhoids, I'm going out for a while."

Zhang Zhichuang, who was still reading by the lamp at the desk at night, stopped writing, turned his head and asked, "It's past ten o'clock, and you still go out? Don't forget, this is not China."

"I think too much, I'm not going out of the hotel."

"Where are you going then?"

"Look for a coach in the opposite room."

Lu You closed the door with his backhand, crossed the corridor in two or three steps, came to the door directly opposite, and knocked twice with his knuckles.

"Who?"

"It's me, Professor Xiao."

"Please wait."

Ten seconds later, the door opened inward.

"come in."

"Thank you Professor."

The two sat opposite each other in front of a small tea table.

Xiao Liang put his arms on the armrests of the chair, crossed his fingers in front of his chest, and asked, "It's so late, don't you have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game, is there something important to ask me?"

Lu You didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "I will hand in the papers in advance at noon the day after tomorrow, and take the nearest flight back to China. I won't attend the subsequent dinners and award ceremonies."

"Is something wrong at home?"

"Ah."

Xiao Liang didn't ask too many questions, and simply agreed: "Okay, tell me you're safe when you get home."

Lu You got up and bowed deeply to Xiao Liang, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Professor, please."

"Small things."

Xiao Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "But if you don't give our team full marks, let's see how I deal with you!"

The corner of Lu You's mouth also curled up, and he replied, "Have I ever tried anything below the perfect score?"

"Okay, I know you are amazing, go back to your room and rest!"

"Good night, Professor."

When Lu You returned to the room, Zhang Zhichuang asked in surprise, "You came back so soon? It seems like you haven't been there for 5 minutes, right? What did you say?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Under Zhang Zhichuang's curious gaze, Lu You pushed the door open and walked outside the balcony of the room, and the scorching air rushed towards his face.

"Sure enough, in July, the air in Mold Country is also hot."

Lu You stopped by the balcony, supported the guardrail with both hands, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

In a trance, an unknown star quietly lost its brilliance, hiding in the boundless universe.

"Oh—old man, you are really serious. It's already at this critical point, so you can't last two more days? Don't give me any news before you leave."

Just as Lu You was in a trance, the glass door behind him quietly opened, and Zhang Zhichuang walked out lightly.

"Brother Lu, are you okay?"

"fine."

"It's okay, are you looking up at the night sky at 45° here? Could it be that Logan put a hat on you?"

Lu You lowered his eyes, and a majestic killing intent was brewing in his calm eyes.

"One more bb, and I'll throw you down from here."

Zhang Zhichuang took two steps back, pressed his back against the wall, and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry! I was wrong! Forgive me!"

"Sleep your sleep! Don't bother me!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Zhichuang retreated into the room with a stride, and dug his head into the bed.

Lu You once again looked at the starry sky that was beyond reach.After a long time, he slowly withdrew his gaze and returned to the room with a calm expression.
