Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending t...
Chapter 24 What a Divine Luck
For several days in a row, Si Yan delivered breakfast on time every day. The porridge, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, eggs, milk, etc. were all perfectly matched and different every day, which showed that he put a lot of thought into it.
Professor Zhang has been seeing patients non-stop for a week recently, and Lin Feier has been so busy that she doesn't even have time to chat with Su Nian about her recent situation.
Today was Thursday, her turn to rest, and she finally had time to visit Su Nian. Su Nian had been making rapid progress on her competition samples this week, and she had given herself a short break this afternoon.
So, the two sisters made an appointment to go shopping. Ms. Su Hong followed them and repeatedly reminded them to be careful when going out.
After walking for a while, they sat down in a cafe.
"Niannian, do you really plan to give birth to the child?" Lin Feier asked.
"Yeah." Su Nian responded softly.
"That's fine. Just go along with Professor Si," Lin Fei'er thought for a moment and analyzed, "Life's big events are inevitable. Now that they're here, it's better to accept them and feel at ease sooner."
"Fei'er," Su Nian frowned, a hint of worry in her tone, "Do you think I can still successfully complete my studies with a big belly?"
"I can take a leave of absence from school, right?"
"Then when should I apply for leave of absence?" Su Nian felt like she didn't understand anything.
"We'll decide based on your physical condition. Don't worry, I'll go and ask around." Lin Feier comforted her.
"Feier!" Suddenly someone in the coffee shop greeted Lin Feier.
Lin Feier looked up and saw the person coming. The relaxed smile on her face froze instantly. She stood up subconsciously, and the chair legs made a slight sound when they rubbed against the floor.
"Professor Zhang? You're here too?" There was a hint of subtle nervousness in her voice.
Professor Zhang has deep eyes, but looks kind. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes reveal a calmness that comes with years of experience.
She glanced at the latte on the table and the milk in front of Su Nian. She paused imperceptibly, her eyes slightly brightening before turning to Lin Feier: "I just finished the consultation. Come over for a cup of coffee to wake me up."
Lin Feier quickly pulled a chair over: "Professor, please sit down. I'm off today. Su Nian is my best friend, so she happens to be free too..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something and her heart skipped a beat - Professor Zhang was Si Yan's mother, and Su Nianhuai was Si Yan's child. This relationship was like an invisible net that instantly wrapped the small coffee shop tightly.
Lin Fei'er thought this was bad. She knew Professor Zhang had very high expectations for Si Yan and probably wouldn't tolerate a girl who got pregnant while still in school.
Fei'er's eyes unconsciously glanced at Su Nian - the latter was looking blankly at the lady in the modified cheongsam, obviously not yet reacting.
I saw my best friend greeting me warmly and generously, "Hello, Professor Zhang, my name is Su Nian."
She obviously didn't realize who Professor Zhang was. She was completely dazed at the clinic that day and had no memory of Professor Zhang's appearance.
Zhang Minghua knew Su Nian, and she was afraid of scaring the girl, so she sat down opposite them calmly. The waiter quickly brought her the Yirgacheffe she ordered.
She gently stirred the coffee with a spoon. When the aroma spread, she slowly spoke, "Fei'er, how is your internship in our clinic? You must be exhausted lately, right?"
"Professor Zhang, I'm not afraid of being tired. I think working here allows me to learn a lot from outstanding seniors like you. It's a great learning opportunity." Lin Feier said in a high-sounding tone.
"Well, it's a lifelong learning process, especially for those of us who study Chinese medicine, it's a process of accumulating knowledge and experience. Come on!" Professor Zhang's words are full of positive energy.
She looked at Su Nian again, "Fei'er, why does your best friend look so familiar to me? Is she also studying Chinese medicine? Has she helped out in our clinic before?"
When Fei'er heard Professor Zhang's words, she wondered if she knew about Nian Nian and her son's relationship. Would she make things difficult for Nian Nian?
"Professor Zhang, I didn't study Chinese medicine, but I did go to the clinic to help out once." Seeing that Fei'er looked a little confused, Su Nian took the initiative to answer Zhang Minghua's question.
The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered who Professor Zhang was! !
Oh my god! What kind of luck is this!
Su Nian's heart suddenly rose to her throat, but she had to pretend to be calm.
"Professor Zhang, my best friend is amazing. She wins so many awards in fashion design competitions every year." Lin Feier has made up her mind to say good things about her best friend to Professor Zhang. She must do her best to help Nian Nian.
"Not only in design, her skills in making clothes are also amazing," Lin Feier pointed at the dress she was wearing, "From design to production, it's all done by her." Lin Feier was glad that she had worn the right dress today.
Speaking of the clothes Fei'er was wearing, it was indeed Su Nian's design last year, a fresh college style dress, but it was sewn by Ms. Su Hong, so Fei'er's words were a little exaggerated.
"Well, this dress looks good, Su Nian. You haven't graduated yet, right? It's really excellent!" Professor Zhang praised sincerely.
"Auntie... no, Professor Zhang," Su Nian took a deep breath, a little embarrassed, "Actually, this is nothing."
Zhang Minghua was secretly delighted. This girl was pretty. Judging from her conversation and performance just now, she was generous, decent, humble and polite. Most importantly, she was so talented. She was really a great girl!
This girl is so young, alas, in the final analysis, it is my son who is ridiculous!
Zhang Minghua saw the almost empty cups in front of them and said, "I had a great time talking to you two girls today. What else do you want to eat? I'll treat you!"
"No need!" they said in unison.
"We still have to go shopping later." Lin Fei'er quickly made an excuse, her palms already slightly sweaty. She secretly nudged Su Nian with her knee, signaling her to cooperate quickly.
Su Nian immediately realized what was happening and nodded quickly: "Yes, Professor Zhang, we have an appointment to go shopping, so we won't disturb your rest."
Now she just wanted to escape from this uncomfortable place as soon as possible, especially when she thought about the relationship between the child in her belly and the professor in front of her, her heart felt like it was being gripped by a hand.
Professor Zhang looked at their obviously tense expressions, a knowing smile flickering in his eyes, but he didn't point it out. He simply waved his hand gently, "Well, then, you young people, have fun. Fei'er, don't be late for work next week. We've been having a lot of patients lately, so you can't let your guard down."
"I understand, Professor. Don't worry!" Lin Feier felt as if she had been pardoned. She pulled Su Nian and tried to stand up.
"Wait a minute," Professor Zhang suddenly spoke, his eyes falling on Su Nian. His tone was as natural as an elder caring for a younger person. "Su Nian, you look a little pale. Have you not had enough rest recently? Girls should take care of their health, especially in this hot weather. Don't try to stay cool."
Su Nian's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously gathered the loose hem of her skirt and replied vaguely, "Thank you Professor Zhang for your concern. I will pay attention to it." She always felt that Professor Zhang's words had a hidden meaning, but she didn't dare to think too much about it.
Lin Feier was afraid that something might go wrong if they continued talking, so she quickly pulled Su Nian aside and said goodbye: "Professor, we're leaving first. Enjoy your meal!"
Even after they walked far out of the coffee shop, neither of them had recovered from the shock. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Oh my god, I was so scared!" Lin Fei'er patted her chest, her voice trembling slightly. "That's Professor Si's mother! I thought it was going to be a scene where a wealthy mother-in-law breaks up a couple!"
Su Nian was still frightened: "It seems... she shouldn't know me yet, right? The way she looks at me is quite normal." But despite saying that, she had no idea at all. Professor Zhang's deep eyes always made her feel as if he knew everything.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Lin Fei'er sighed, and couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful when you go out next time."
Su Nian nodded, looked down at her still flat belly, but her heart was in a mess.
