[R18] Paradox [siblings] – “Paradox [Sister and Brother]” Extra: From Now On (Part 1) [English]
byThe sun is shining brightly.
On the university playground track in late autumn, Yu Zhiyuan stopped.
At that time, sunlight passed through the gap between the two courtyard buildings and was projected on the penalty area of the basketball court. The tall and thin figure in the sight turned around, passed the blocking opponent, jumped cleanly, and poured the ball into the basketball hoop. After a slight pause for a second, there was a slight trembling sound of the ball hoop, and the friction sound of the soles of the shoes against the ground after touching the ground.
Then there was a surge of people.
Yu Zhiyuan was startled, and when she saw the man turning his head, her eyes and heart were filled at that moment.
“Zhiyuan, why don’t you leave?” Lin Yi, who was in front of her, came back in confusion. Following her eyes, she immediately found the crux of the problem. She couldn’t help but laugh, “Oh, no wonder…”
Yu Zhiyuan finally came back to her senses: “Hello, such a high-quality boy didn’t tell me.”
Lin Yi smiled mysteriously: “Why, are you attracted to ‘senior’?”
“Within three minutes, I want to know this senior’s name, age, WeChat number and phone number. I will be lenient if I confess!” Yu Zhiyuan pretended to be serious.
Lin Yi laughed loudly: “Do you really think you are a senior? Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Before Zhiyuan could ask, Lin Yi gave her the answer: “Didn’t Professor Chen from the Department of Physics have a heart surgery before, so the school temporarily hired an associate professor to take over the class, that…” She gestured to the active figure on the basketball court, “That’s him.”
Yu Zhiyuan was a little unbelievable.
That person looked very young, so young that she thought he and he should be the same age.
“It is said that he graduated from Massachusetts and came back from the United States. He works in a college affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Chen admires him very much and specially entrusted him to help.”
Yu Zhiyuan’s eyes were locked on that person, while she muttered: “You are quite well-informed about the gossip.”
“That’s not because-”
“Because of me.” A third voice intervened in the conversation between the two, and they both turned around at the same time. Yu Zhiyuan burst into joy as soon as she saw the visitor: “Auntie!”
Zhao Enhui is Yu Zhiyuan’s aunt, only twelve years older than Yu Zhiyuan, and now she also teaches in this school.
Yu Zhiyuan is studying at another university in City B, and she came here today just to visit her best friend and aunt.
An hour later, Zhao Enhui led two juniors to stop at the school gate.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?” Yu Zhiyuan was confused.
Zhao Enhui smiled mysteriously, “This is a rare opportunity, and I will give you benefits.”
Yu Zhiyuan and Lin Yi looked at each other. It wasn’t until a car slowly stopped in front of the three of them that the two college students widened their eyes.
“Teacher Zhao, let’s go.”
“Professor Ling.” Zhao Enhui waved her hand, “Sorry to trouble you, it’s really difficult to take a taxi to the city center at this time.”
The man known as “Professor Ling” nodded slightly and smiled, “It doesn’t matter, I’m just on my way.”
He’s smile became clearer and more energetic. In addition, at this moment, He changed into casual clothes. He looked more and more like the senior who was active on the court. There was no trace of the “professor” airs in Zhao Enhui’s words.
Professor Ling is only thirty years old this year, and is only eight years older than she.
It’s not that there is no chance, Yu Zhiyuan thought to herself.
Because both her aunt and Lin Yi got into the back seat of the car, she suddenly forgot the rules and was about to open the front door when she found a box of cakes placed on the seat.
She retracted her hand angrily and sat back in the back seat.
Along the way, she couldn’t help but ask about Professor Ling. Professor Ling was not as distant as the older professors. In the end, he asked too many questions, and even Zhao Enhui couldn’t stand it. He secretly pulled her sleeves, and she gave up.
However, the road to the city was too congested, and being stuck in traffic was too quiet and had nothing to do. After a while, Yu Zhiyuan seemed to remember something and asked: “Professor Ling, is there any friend’s birthday today?”
“Huh?” He who was asked raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to find the origin and purpose of her question from her expression. Soon he found the reason on the cake box in his peripheral vision, paused, and then smiled lightly, “No.”
It’s okay if it’s not.
Yu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, a man bringing a cake always felt like he was going to meet his girlfriend.
After he answered “no”, he did not explain further.After arriving at the destination, New Territories Plaza, Yu Zhiyuan, who had walked a few steps, turned back reluctantly. With the resilience of a fledgling girl, she mustered up the courage to lie down by the car window: “Professor Ling, my name is Yu Zhiyuan, I…”
Then the words suddenly stuck in my throat.
Because he raised his left hand toward her, which had been holding the steering wheel on the other side just now, she didn’t notice that there was an exquisite and simple platinum ring on it.
“I’m married.”
When he said this, he didn’t care what she wanted to say, he just stabbed her lifeline with a naked knife, cutting off all her thoughts.
Aren’t physics professors supposed to be dull straight men?
Yu Zhiyuan watched the car slowly disappear at the entrance of the parking lot.
Lin Yi just walked to her: “Let’s go.”
“Lin Yi, what is Professor Ling’s name?”
“You still haven’t given up?”
“I just…wanted to know his name.”
“…Ling Qingyuan.”
Ling Qingyuan!
In the office of the provincial TV station, Ling Sinan put down his cell phone angrily——
You know you didn’t even give me a call when I came back today!
In the past three months, you have been living a happy life while I was away, right?
“Sinan, have the documents been copied?”
Ling Sinan immediately changed his expression, turned around and replied succinctly: “Copy it and I have a copy on my computer. There are a few parts of the interview I did for Principal Wu alone that still need to be revised. I will hand it in at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
“Don’t be so nervous, and don’t rush for a day or two.” Sister Zhang took the USB flash drive from She, “You guys have been on a special business trip for so long, so of course you should take a good rest first when you come back.”
“It doesn’t matter. After all, I planned this special topic. I still hope to do it well.”
While the two were talking, several new female interns happened to pass by.
“He’s really handsome. I wonder if he’s here to apply for a job.”
“It would be great if it is, I will be blessed when I go to work in the future~”
“Ah ah ah, may your dream come true…”
The chattering of the girls interrupted the conversation between the two. Ling Sinan asked, dumbfounded, “What is going on?”
Sister Zhang shook her head and smiled helplessly, “There was a handsome young man sitting in the reception area downstairs just now. He probably said he.”
A woman’s sixth sense made Ling Sinan frown slightly: “Downstairs? Pretty handsome? Young man…”
Before he finished asking, He Yunjun, the office gossip king, punched Ling Sinan on the back, “Sinan, you are so envious of me!”
Ling Sinan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and glared at her: “What?”
“That guy downstairs must be your brother!” He Yunjun pressed her shoulder earnestly, “Stop pretending, the front desk told me that they are here to find you, but when they heard that we hadn’t gotten off work yet, they told her not to disturb you. I sat there waiting for more than half an hour.”
At that moment, Ling Sinan felt empty in his heart, just… an indescribable feeling.
It’s not a negative emotion, but surprise, touch, and longing. All kinds of feelings are mixed together, making the chest feel tight.
“He’s my younger brother, right? He’s wearing jeans, fair and clean, and looks quite young.”
“That guy’s face is easy to deceive.” Ling Sinan smiled, but did not directly deny the definition of “younger brother”——
“That’s…my husband.”
Ling Qingyuan checked the time on his phone and pressed the speed dial number 1 button.
The ringing suddenly sounded behind me.
He turned around subconsciously, and Ling Sinan’s sneaky expression froze in place.
He burst out laughing unexpectedly, turned back and pressed the call button, “You continue, I’ll pretend I didn’t see you.”
A pair of arms crossed the back of the sofa and leaned over to hug him tightly.
Ling Qingyuan was startled.
This is still on the first floor of the provincial station where people come and go, so this kind of action will inevitably attract people’s attention.
He raised his hand, gently stroked her head against his, and whispered: “Sister.”
When the two of them are together in private, she still likes him to call her sister, and so does he.
This relationship is a habit, a bond, and a little fun between husband and wife.
Ling Sinan also knew that his actions were a bit out of line, but he couldn’t restrain the emotions that surged into his chest, so he simply turned his back on it.
“I missed you.”
After being away from home for several months to shoot a special feature and go deep into the mountains, cell phone signal was a luxury, and the two exchanged only a few words for several months.
Ling Qingyuan leaned against her face and rubbed it gently, “Same as above.”
“Perfunctory.” She was disgusted.
He chuckled and said: “How can I not be perfunctory? What do you think about how to ‘execute’ you on the spot here?”
Knowing that he’s “rectification on the spot” was different from that of normal people, Ling Sinan finally couldn’t help but blush and hurriedly straightened up.
As the old saying goes, one day is like three autumns apart. When Ling Sinan saw him now, he felt as if time was flowing very slowly on him.
Both familiar and strange.
What was familiar was that face. It was still the handsome top student brother in my memory. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all heart-moving.
What is unfamiliar is his aura. In the past twelve years, he has matured a lot. Even though there is still a bit of youthful feeling hidden in him, he cannot hide his growing masculinity.
For example, wearing jeans when you were young was a sign of a boy’s style, but now it’s a sign of a man’s carefreeness.
The next moment he stood up and walked around the sofa. The shadow covered her sight, occupying the world in her eyes inch by inch.
He leaned forward, touched the tip of her ear with his warm lips, and whispered.
“Welcome home, sis.”
