Professor Ling I Love You
Chatted

Since we were at the side-street bus stop so senior Feng immediately invited me to go to one of the cafes that were around there, so that we can talk to each other while letting go of this long-ago longing.

We sat at the same table and I asked again about senior Feng and senior Anming who had not been in contact with me for a long time, the last time he called me, it was also during the few weeks I was out of the lab, after which I lost contact and was no longer able to contact him.

"Senior how's senior Anming doing, are you guys still together, and is the lab still in operation?" I asked him with a very curious face at that time.

"You don't have to worry, Anming and I are fine, it's just that he's probably been very busy lately, because you have to prepare yourself to go abroad to pursue his studies after the title of professor, you know he is very ambitious, wants to be like Ling, so that's how he is, you know, and the lab is still the same as before, you can see there, it's projects that we previously ran, unfortunately you weren't there when everything was done." Reply to me with his face that began to bow in lethargy.

I immediately comforted him and immediately exhaled a long breath.

"It's okay, senior Feng, just to hear this news I've been very happy, most importantly, the laboratory remains victorious, right?" Reply to him.

"Yes that's right, you're a good person, but I'm still wondering why you got kicked out by professor Ling back then, and why you had to leave right then and there, you didn't even wait until I got back to the lab and didn't say goodbye to me at all." Ask him to me.

I was long silent and looked at each other with Xinxin, she had already gotten acquainted with senior Feng before, and I felt puzzled, there was no way I would explain the truth, either, because I don't want to open the old wound that almost healed inside me. Unfortunately Xinxin did have a very faint mouth, she instead answered him first and told him all the truth without allowing me to be able to stop him back then.

"Hey.asal you know, I don't care if you were Zhan Tao's senior back then, but just so you know he got kicked out for protecting a senior named Sisi, he was actually innocent and the access card was not turned over by Zhan Tao, the one who removed his access card was that senior did not know himself, he said, who was now able to stand beside professor Ling without the slightest guilt!" Xinxin replied with an annoyed face and she looked so anxious to answer senior Feng back then, I was wide-eyed and just stared intently at Xinxin while stepping on her feet intending to signal to her so that she could be silent and no longer interfere with my past troubles.

"Aws...Zhan Tao what are you doing, you're sick to know why you stepped on my foot?" Ask him grimacing in pain.

Now it was senior Feng's turn to give such a serious look to me, and he demanded that I explain everything to him right then and there, too, whereas I had long since hidden all the truth because I did not want senior Sisi to be a victim or expelled by professor Ling, I did not want him to hate me even more later.

"Zhan Tao, please explain to me, is what your friend said true?" Ask her again with a more serious face.

I was so nervous and confused to find an excuse back then.

It's a good thing I managed to smother his mouth just in time before he would unpack everything that happened that night.

"Xinxin shut up, let me explain myself!" I said give him a warning.

He nodded and only then could I let go of his mouth, I took a deep breath and threw it away slowly, only then did I begin to explain everything honestly because there was still Xinxin staring intently at me as if he was watching me with both hands that he had folded in front of his chest at that time.

"Why look at me that way, let's tell the truth, you can't keep hiding like this Zhan Tao, I can't accept you being wrong for so long while the woman is even successful as now." Xinxin's reply left me with no other choice, plus senior Feng had already raised both of his eyebrows to me, signaling that he was already waiting for me to say it immediately.

"Alright I'll tell senior Feng, but I beg you please don't tell anyone about all this, I trust you to keep this a secret, I beg you not to let down this trust of mine." I said to him first.

After he nodded and I thought he was the right person I could trust, I started telling him all the truth, starting from senior Sisi who initially lost his access card and I who intend to help him so that he does not get the punishment removed from this laboratory, I thought it was the right way so I did it, until senior Sisi actually changed the name of the card, until it was finally discovered by professor Ling and I protected him again, and admit that I had cheated by changing the name in the access card, but let alone to change it, set it I did not know at all at that time, because I was still an intern in that lab.

Until I was finally expelled and senior Sisi survived the sentence, he was able to continue all his research and could continue to help professor Ling until he was able to succeed to what he is today.

Senior Feng was seen holding back the anger in his heart which was very hot back then, he was certainly very unaccepting with all the stories I had told him.

"Zhan Tao why are you doing all that, why do you have to defend people like him?" Senior Feng said to me with his eyes wide open.

"I just don't want to repay the bad with the bad as well, I think if I keep doing good to him, maybe he'll like me someday, maybe, although in the end like this I have absolutely no regrets for doing good to him, because then he can help professor Ling complete his projects, now everyone's been helped by all that." Reply to him.

"But that's so unfair to you Zhan Tao." Reply senior Feng again to me.

I nodded but I still felt fine, could only smile in response and still try to forget all the sad memories at once there were also pleasant memories in the laboratory, even more so now I can still remember all the wonderful things about professor Ling.
