Those Sweet Times

Chapter 35 Part 3

Chen Yinghu was scheduled to fly home Tuesday night.

Tuesday afternoon, Lin Chuyan had a lab class that he couldn’t skip. He
asked Chen Yinghu whether he would like to come visit the lab. Chen Yinghu
asked about the experiment Lin Chuyan was going to do. Many of the terms in
Lin Chuyan’s description were very foreign to Chen Yinghu, which reminded him
the horror back when he was in highschool. He cautiously declined the invitation.

Chen Yinghu suddenly didn’t admire the college students. They had to study,
go to class, do lab experiments…...He pitied them.

In Lin Chuyan’s lab class, every two students worked as a team. He teamed
up with Zheng Dongkai. Usually, Lin Chuyan could finish the experiment very
quickly because he was very strong at anything hands-on.

Zhong Dongkai always thought it was quite unfair. Lin Chuyan was such a lazy
person, how could he deserve such an ability……

Maomaoqiu and Dayu were having some trouble with the experiment today. The
data they came up with was abnormal just at a glance.

Most of the other students had left the lab while they were still sweating over
the data.

Lin Chuyan unusually showed some compassion and comforted them: “Don’t panic.
You can copy our data and then just amend the report.”

“We won’t copy yours!”

Zheng Dongkai wiped his forehead: “Chuyan, this is not the way to comfort people.”

Lin Chuyan then rubbed his nose: “Well, then I’ll do it for you or I’ll direct you to do it.”

Maomaoqiu and Dayu both looked suspicious. They cautiously asked: “What’s in it
for you?”

“Nothing.”

Lin Chuyan rubbed his chin and asked them: “Do I look like I’m tricking you guys?”

“Yes, very much so!”

He were being taken as a con man again?

The last straw that broke the camel’s back came that night.

That night, Lin Chuyan sent a message on WeChat to his mother-- --Ever since he
helped his dad get the painting for his mom, his parents removed his name from
the blacklist.

Lin Chuyan: Mom, I think I’m in love.

……

When the message reached his mother’s cellphone, his mom, Yue Yingying, was
sitting in front of the dresser facing the mirror, putting a facial mask on. She didn’t
see the message.

Lin Xueyuan was sitting on the bed reading. He noticed the screen of her cell phone
light up and said to his wife: “You have a message.”

“Who’s it from?”

“Let me see.” Lin Xueyuan reached out to the phone and took a look: “It’s the little
bastard.”

“What does he want?” Yue Yingying walked over with mask on her face.

“What else? To swindle some more money.”

“Oh, this ungrateful son.”

“I’ll delete it for you.”

“En, delete it.”

Yue Yingying didn’t think too much about it. She opened another facial mask: “Let
me put this one on you.”

Lin Xueyuan resisted: “I’m a man, I don’t need it.”

“You have to. I don’t want you to have too many wrinkles.”

Lin Xueyuan had no choice but to let his wife put on the facial mask for him.

They wore matching pajamas and facial masks, resting on bed.

Lin Xueyuan suddenly received a message as well. He took a glance at his cell
phone.

Lin Chuyan: Dad, I think I’m in love.

His dad deleted it without a second thought.

……

Lin Chuyan was pretty much convinced at this point that he had the face of a
con man.
