Chapter 17

The moonlight that night dispelled all the haze

My relationship with my mother has no barrier. Although it is limited to kissing at most, I know that my love has echoed

The second year of high school is over soon

The love of a boy is not a disaster, at least for me, it is endless motivation.

My mother and I are now rubbing each other every day. Although at most it is only for light kissing, I always pay attention to not moving around anymore, but it is enough. The small home is full of warmth and sweetness.

After the start of high school, the school invited a foreign teacher. A blond man in his thirties named Michael, with blue eyes as pure as the sky.

He specialized in teaching us English, and my excellent English scores quickly attracted his attention. Until one day in late autumn, he stopped me after school.

I was a little nervous, but his smile seemed to penetrate into my heart: Feng Lei, your English proficiency is outstanding

Foreigners do not hide their praise, but I am Chinese-style modesty: Where... they are all well taught by teachers

Michael laughed: You Chinese are indeed very strange, and you always dare not admit your own strengths.

I blushed: Sorry

Michael looked at me frankly: I think it's strange, because I've never seen a fanatical student like you. Generally speaking, you should be in love, writing poetry, traveling, and gatherings at your age. Of course, China is different. You are all very hardworking, but I think you have exceeded the scope of hard work. I really want to know why?

What should I say? I pondered for a while and explained: I really want to study abroad

Michael did not hide his curiosity: Sorry, I came to China and wanted to collect some materials, unintentionally infringe on your privacy. If there is any offense to you, please forgive me for asking other teachers. I heard that you are a single-parent family, so was the goal of going abroad instilled in you by your mother?

I quickly shook my head: It's okay, it's not, it's my own ideal

He thought for a while: I know that your physics grades are very good and you have already started reading university physics books. So, do you want to become a physicist and want to go abroad to receive a better education?

I almost shook my head again, but after thinking about it, I admitted: Yes, I am interested in astrophysics, and I have loved watching the starry sky since I was a child

I'll admit it quickly, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it. I can't tell him that I want to go abroad to marry my mother.

Michael continued to think: Sorry, you were lonely when you were a child? Only then did you like to see the stars?

I smiled bitterly and said: No, my mother is very nice to me

He muttered in English: Subconscious loneliness?... Introspection? I didn't understand everything. When he saw me staring at him strangely, he smiled a little apologetically: Sorry, I forgot that your English is excellent, thank you for your answer, please forgive me for your rudeness.

I smiled and said: It doesn’t matter, then I’m going home?

He was still bowing his head and thinking, and I wanted to turn around and leave. At this time, he called me as if he had remembered something: Feng Lei, I have a friend who is a PhD in astrophysics and is now a visiting professor at XX University for three years. Maybe he is willing to meet you. Are you interested?

It is a famous university in our provincial capital. Although it is not as good as Peking University and Tsinghua University, it is also very outstanding

A foreign professor of astrophysics? Seeing me, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Michael saw my expression and smiled: Don't be nervous, I think he might like a student like you.

I still can't believe it: I'm just a high school student

Michael smiled: You Chinese are always not confident enough. I think your ability has exceeded the average level of freshmen in our country.

My heart beat wildly: I just felt it was too sudden

Michael laughed and patted my shoulder: Opportunities are always for those who are prepared, and you can have clear goals and reject temptations for this. I think this is a prerequisite for success. Do you want me to contact Dr. Stevenson?

I couldn't help but tremble: His name is Stevenson?

right

I said to Michael with difficulty: Then, please trouble you

Michael smiled with approval: I'll be proud of you, goodbye

I quickly said: Goodbye

Watching Michael disappear on campus, I slowly walked home. I didn't run for the first time in a long time, because today is too incredible

It's unimaginable that he could meet foreign professors at home.

Can I really have the opportunity to go abroad? Study physics, and then...

When I got home, my mother had prepared the meal and placed it neatly on the table.

Seeing me back, my mother came forward and smiled gently: Xiaolei, I'll have dinner later if I'm back today, it's almost cold.

Looking down at mom, we already feel like a lover

Suddenly I realized that I seemed to have grown slowly this year, and I was only half a head taller than my mother. I guess I was not 1.8 meters tall.

But it doesn't matter, it's good, you can kiss your mother by lowering your head

Thinking of this, I smiled and gently kissed my mother's delicate red lips.

My mother was as shy as ever, blushed and reached out to take my schoolbag, and pushed me to sit at the dining table: Let's have a meal soon

Simple black fungus slices and tomato egg soup, but it is as fragrant as ever

I picked up the bowls and chopsticks, waited for my mother to sit down, and reached out to pick up a piece of meat and sent it to my mother's mouth: You eat it first

My mother opened her mouth embarrassedly, held the piece of meat with her white and neat teeth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then smiled and said: It's true, I'm so twisted every day...
