Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 497 What if

The sun moves westward, approaching evening.

Lu You sat at the desk, quietly flipping through a book.

The title of the book is "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

To be fair, Lu You usually doesn't read books on literary theory.

It lacks interest and has a certain reading threshold. One cannot read it without sufficient ideological awareness.

However, due to the intensive Internet surfing in recent times, the brain has received too much useful and useless information, making the thoughts complicated and the mind unstable.

It is a good time to read "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" at this time to learn the thoughts and spirit of the great man, purify the spiritual world, and calm the impetuous heart.

The book turned two pages and stopped in mid-air. The buzzing sound of the vibrating cell phone pulled Lu You out of his fully focused state of mind.

I took the phone and saw, as expected, it was a message from Tang Wan.

【My beloved:_(:3⌒)_】

[My beloved: What are you doing? ]

Lu You raised his phone, took a photo of the book, and clicked send.

【Husband: Charging. 】

Tang Wan responded with a thumbs-up emoji.

[My beloved: I can actually watch this. ]

[My beloved concubine: I admire you. ]

[Husband: It’s actually quite interesting to look at that era from the perspective of a great man.]

[Husband: I suggest you read it too, to improve your thinking.]

[My beloved: Haha. ]

[My beloved: I will definitely do that next time. ]

Based on Lu You's understanding of Tang Wan, there probably won't be a next time.

【Husband: Tell me, what do you want from me? 】

[My beloved: Come find me and have dinner together. ]

【Husband: Don’t you want to eat with your roommate? 】

[Ai Fei: They are going out to do their hair, and I don’t want to go. ]

Lu You glanced at the time in the upper left corner. There were still four minutes until half past five.

【Husband: Now? 】

【Ai Fei: What do you think? 】

【Husband: In ten minutes, at the same place.】

[My beloved: Muah~(з(c)]

Conversation ends.

Lu You put a bookmark, closed the book, stood up and got dressed.

The subtle movement caught Zhang Zhichuang's attention.

He and Bi Yangde watched the drama for the whole afternoon, but before they played it out loud on the speakers, but now they wore headphones.

"Brother Lu, do you want to have dinner?"

Lu You straightened the collar of his coat, wrapped his scarf around his neck, and replied, "I won't eat with you."

Zhang Zhichuang choked and felt a little uncomfortable.

"You're not going to stay outside tonight?"

Lu You didn't reply. He straightened his scarf, zipped it up, and prepared to go out.

"Colorful clouds chasing the moon for two consecutive days, can your kidneys withstand it?"

After these words were spoken, even Bi Yangde couldn't help but turn his head, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.

Lu You stood up straight, looked down at Zhang Zhichuang calmly, and said, "Don't use your low level to measure my strength. We are different."

"They all have three legs, two are long and one is short, what's the difference?"

"You have only seen pigs run, but I have eaten pork for a long time."

Amid Zhang Zhichuang's twitching expression, Lu You left the dormitory.

……

In front of the gate of the girls' dormitory, under a big dry tree, Lu You and Tang Wan met.

The two held hands and headed to the nearest cafeteria to eat.

At the roast meat window, Tang Wan ordered an extra portion of roast duck rice, while Lu You ordered an extra portion of shredded chicken.

The person who paid the money was naturally Tang Wan, because she had not yet paid back the money she lost in a bet during the New Year.

After visiting the Lu family mansion this year, Tang Wan received much more New Year's money than in the past. Even if she lost only half of it to Lu You, it would be enough for food expenses for one semester, provided that she went to the cafeteria.

The two found a place with few people and sat side by side.

Tang Wan first picked up a thin piece of duck breast with skin, dipped it in the sauce on both sides, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After chewing twice, Tang Wan frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows, and with an eager look she put the remaining pieces of duck breast into Lu You's plate.

"Hubby, you've lost a lot of weight recently. I think it's because you've just arrived at school and you're not used to the climate there. Come, eat more meat to replenish your body."

Lu You doesn't understand women's hearts, but he doesn't understand Tang Wan? As soon as she takes off her pants, she knows what color fart she is going to fart.

"If it doesn't taste good, don't order it. This isn't the first time." Lu You picked a few pieces of good chicken thigh meat and passed them to Tang Wan, muttering, "Every time you say the school's roast duck isn't tasty, I won't order it next time. But after two weeks, I lost my memory and stupidly went to order it."

Tang Wan pouted and poked a few holes in the rice with her chopsticks, muttering, "I thought it would get better after a winter break, but who knew it wouldn't change!"

Lu You picked up a piece of duck breast and put it into his mouth.

Mm, the authentic smell of dead duck.

It has a powdery texture and the unique smell of duck poop.

The food just tastes bad, but not so bad that it is inedible. So I can stick to the principle of "not wasting food" and eat it anyway.

"Don't order it next time. If you really want to eat roast duck, I can take you out to eat or have someone bring it to you."

"Oh!"

After dinner, the two walked out of the cafeteria and the sky was completely covered with ink.

There was only a small area, dimly lit.

That is the moon that travels across countless miles to convey the sunshine to the world.

Lu You glanced at Tang Wan who was standing next to him. Because of the cold wind, half of her face was buried in her scarf.

Although she is about 1.6 meters tall, she looks a bit petite.

"What are the plans next? Go back to your dorms, or go home?"

Tang Wan raised her hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Walk with me for a few steps, then take me to the teaching building. The student union will have a meeting tonight."

"it is good."

The two came to the Weiming Lake.

The warming weather this year has not yet begun, and the trees around Weiming Lake are still bare, looking a bit desolate and lonely.

However, there is little plant life, but there are quite a few people taking a walk.

Some were in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing, while others were alone, walking briskly.

Lu You and Tang Wan turned into an inconspicuous drop of rain and blended into the crowd of people walking.

After walking about two hundred meters, Lu You's heart skipped a beat and he felt a strong sense of strangeness.

It's been so long, and Tang Wan hasn't said anything?

In the past, when the two of them were together, Tang Wan basically never stopped talking. No matter whether she was in a good mood or a bad mood, she could always find a topic to talk to Lu You.

If your girlfriend keeps silent, she must be planning something big.

Lu You silently became extremely alert.

A minute or two passed.

Tang Wan let go of Lu You's hand and took his arm instead.

"Honey, let's talk about something."

coming!

"What's the matter?" Lu You looked relaxed, but he was actually tense.

"Let's play a scenario simulation game." Tang Wan stared at Lu You's profile and said, "If a girl came to your house with a pregnancy test report in her hand, saying that she was pregnant with your child and wanted you to take responsibility, what would you do?"

Lu You had a blank expression on his face, or rather, he didn't know what expression to make.

"Have you been watching any skits lately?"

"You also know?"

"Let me guess. The plot is that the heroine was tricked into getting drunk by the second female villain. She originally wanted to find a dirty man to defile the heroine's innocence, but she accidentally entered the room of the prince of the Beijing circle. After a night of sex, the heroine got pregnant with the hero's child. With the help of the child, she finally became a rich wife."

Tang Wan stopped and asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, did you sneak a peek at my B site browsing history while I was asleep last night?"

"Do I need to peek?" Lu You pinched Tang Wan's cheek and said with a smile, "Your thoughts are so easy to understand. I can see through them at a glance."

"Humph, I'm just defenseless against you!" Tang Wan pulled Lu You's arm and continued to move forward, urging him, "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me! If someone held your child hostage, what would you do?"

"It's impossible for me to have a relationship with anyone other than you, so the situation you mentioned will not happen and there is no need to discuss it." Lu You said firmly.

"What if someone goes through the trash cans in our neighborhood and steals the Dudu you used?"

"You are really bold!" Lu You was impressed by Tang Wan's fantastic idea and explained, "Research shows that without the right conditions, tadpoles cannot survive outside the body for long."

Tang Wan was unwilling to give up and continued, "What if you get drunk and have sex with someone else?"

"Don't you know whether I drink or not?"

Tang Wan gritted her teeth. A man who is too well-behaved and has no bad habits is truly impeccable.

"Someone forced you to drink."

"People who have the ability to force me to drink won't force me to drink, and people who want to force me to drink don't have the ability."

"I forced you to do it."

"You mean..." Lu You narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "You got me drunk, then pushed a woman into my room and had sex with me, cheating on yourself, right?"

"Just answer what I ask, don't talk about other things!" Tang Wan clenched her fists angrily and waved them at Lu You.

"I didn't say I won't reply to you. Look how anxious you are. You're breathing heavily." When the damage was about to happen, Lu You blocked Tang Wan's fist with his palm and held it in his hand instead. "Your question gives too few prerequisites. It's hard for me to answer it."

Tang Wan's fur calmed down a little and she asked, "What conditions do you need?"

"Can the child be aborted?"

"What's the point of talking if we can just beat it?"

"Do I like that girl who came to my house?"

Tang Wan headbutted Lu You on the shoulder and said angrily, "You want a mistress even though you already have a child? No!"

"That means I don't like you! Not liking you means I don't have any emotional entanglements. If I don't have any emotional entanglements, this problem is easy to solve. We just need to discuss it according to different situations."

As he spoke, Lu You's tone unconsciously took on a bit of the seriousness that he had when he was a professor lecturing students in his previous life.

Influenced by Lu You, Tang Wan also subconsciously put on the attitude of listening to the class.

"First, we will conduct paternity tests in multiple hospitals and through various methods to verify the blood relationship between the child and me. If the child is not my biological child, I'm sorry, I'll see you in court."

"We'll meet in court right away? No room for negotiation?"

Lu You smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile.

"For an outsider who tried to destroy the harmony of my family, I didn't hire someone to deal with her privately. I think I have strict family education."

Tang Wan had a strange look in her eyes. It was really unexpected that her boyfriend, who had always been low-key and well-behaved, would make such cold and harsh remarks.

"If the identification report says that the child is your biological child, what will you do?"

"The first thing is to fight for custody. Once I win, I will take the child and raise him. The child is innocent. He came into this world passively. He cannot choose his biological parents, let alone the environment in which he grows up. No matter what kind of entanglement I have with the child's mother, it has nothing to do with him."

"You are kind-hearted."

Tang Wan knew clearly that Lu You's approach was very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, but she just felt inexplicably unhappy.

Just ask yourself, who would want their partner to raise a child who is not related to them by blood?

When Lu You smelled the sour smell emanating from Tang Wan, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"You raised the problem, it has nothing to do with me, so don't get angry."

Tang Wan kicked a small stone on the roadside and said in a muffled voice: "I'll give you a hundred dollars and let me beat you up."

"I'll give you two hundred, don't fight."

Tang Wan threw a resentful look at Lu You and said, "Go on."

"Actually, I can't say I have a kind heart. The main thing is that winning custody means I have more responsibilities. Besides, with my family's financial situation, it's not difficult to raise a child."

"Where's the child's mother? Will you raise him?"

"Is she in good health?" Lu You asked back.

Tang Wan nodded.

"Is she intelligent?" Lu You continued to ask.

Tang Wan still nodded.

“Is she capable of working?”

Tang Wan still nodded.

"She is an adult with healthy limbs and the ability to work. Even her parents have no obligation to support her, so there is no reason for me to support her."

Tang Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "That makes sense."

"The above is how I would handle it if I won the custody. If I didn't win, it would be even simpler. I would just pay a monthly child support and ignore everything else. I would just treat it as paying taxes to the country."

"Don't you plan to visit regularly?"

"No." Lu You replied decisively.

"After all, it's your child. Wouldn't it be too heartless if I didn't even look at him?" Tang Wan hesitated.

"Then let me ask you, is this child mine? Is this child raised under my watch? Are you the child's mother? If you are neither, then what other relationship do I have with this child besides chromosomes? To put it in a less pleasant way, this child is just the biological father."

Tang Wan looked up at the sky and there seemed to be a few stars in the sky, but unfortunately it was cloudy tonight and even the moon was not clear.

After a while, Tang Wan turned her head and looked at Lu You again, saying, "Husband, you are good in every way. You are handsome, have good character, stable temperament, a good family background, and a bright future. No boy I have ever met is better than you."

"It sounds good. I like it. Please say more."

Tang Wan changed the subject and said, "But the only bad thing about you is that you are too rational. You set boundaries and make clear distinctions for everything."

Lu You was a little surprised. He had just said something similar to Bi Yangde in the afternoon, but he didn't expect it would be his turn in the evening. The boomerang came really quickly.

"Isn't it good to be clear? The clearer the boundaries, the fewer disputes there will be, and the easier it will be to resolve conflicts. Or do you disagree with my approach and hope that I will be more soft-hearted?"

Tang Wan broke free from Lu You's fist, interlocked her fingers with his, and whispered, "No, you did the right thing. I said this just because I want you to be more emotional and willful to me, and ask more of me. You gave me too much, and I gave you too little in return, and I always feel indebted."

"for example?"

"If you don't want to answer the question I asked you just now, you can just slap me and yell at me!"

Tang Wan put her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed, her eyebrows raised, and she looked like an angry King Kong.

"You bold woman! I treat you with all my heart and soul, but you are not grateful enough. You even shamelessly ask me questions. What is your intention? You have three days to submit a 20,000-word self-review report! Otherwise, you will eat on the floor from now on!"

Tang Wan's exaggerated behavior attracted the attention of many people around her.

Lu You quickly pulled Tang Wan to his side, quickened his pace, and quickly left the scene while it was dark and before anyone could see his appearance clearly.

"My dear, it's normal for people to have some special habits, but you should restrain yourself in public."

Tang Wan also realized that her previous remarks were very outrageous. She shrank her neck, like a mouse hiding in the dark, and looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice: "No one recognized me, right?"

"If it were me, if I saw someone I knew going crazy on the street, I would pretend not to recognize him even if I recognized him." Lu You teased.

Tang Wan hugged Lu You's arm tightly and asked meaningfully, "Will you be willing to deny me?"

"you guess?"

"I guess you're reluctant."

Lu You smiled but didn't answer. He really couldn't bear to do it.

"Let's get back to the point. Don't you want me to be more sentimental and willful? Can I be willful now?"

Tang Wan waved her hand and said proudly, "Of course! I'll give you ten minutes, you can be as willful as you want!"

Lu You narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "If a girl came to my house with a pregnancy test report in her hand, saying that she was pregnant with my child and asked you to leave me, what would you do?"

Tang Wan's expression froze and her smile gradually disappeared.

Lu You poked Tang Wan's cheek and said with a smile: "Speak, why are you silent? Didn't you want me to be willful?"

Tang Wan suddenly had an idea. She took out her phone, turned on the screen, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh no! The meeting starts in five minutes. It's too late! I have to rush over now. We can talk about it next time if there is anything!"

Tang Wan hurriedly shook off Lu You and ran away quickly.

You beat the road! !

However, whether in terms of physiology or constitution, the gap between the two was too great, and Lu You easily caught up with Tang Wan without even taking a breath.

Nearing the teaching building, Tang Wan had no choice but to give an answer under Lu You's repeated questioning.

"If she had your child under force majeure, I would be patient and accept it for a short period of time. But broken mirrors cannot be mended. Once the trust between people is cracked, it is impossible to repair it. The crack will only get bigger and bigger. I can't say where our relationship will end up."
