My husband’s new student was a very pretty girl. All the men who had seen her are obsessed with her. But she would only be scolded by my husband. For some reason, my husband’s attitude towards her was extremely cold.
Even I can’t stand it, “Are you too harsh on Lucy?”
“I don’t need a vase here. If you can stay, stay. If you can’t stay, get out.”
Later, the laboratory exploded and he passed me and stood in front of Lucy. Blocked all the splashes. The liquid penetrated the white hexagram and penetrated his skin, but he didn’t cry out in pain.
——
I had been married to Kevin for four years and had always respected each other. Since I met Kevin, he had been a dull person. Our life was not too passionate, but the relationship was stable. Nothing had changed in the past four years.
So both of us wanted a child to try to break this cold barrier.
On the way back from the hospital, we met Lucy.
“Professor Zuckerberg.” She called out.
I looked up at the person next to me. I didn’t know if he heard her. I walked a lot faster.
"Professor Zuckerberg!"
Lucy ran over quickly, but she didn't expect Kevin to stop suddenly. The two bumped into each other. The little girl raised her head, looking very apologetic.
She covered her head and greeted me with watery eyes. "Mrs. Zuckerberg."
Lucy looked at the medicine box in my hand curiously.
"Folic acid? Mrs. Zuckerberg, you are preparing for pregnancy! You and Professor Zuckerberg have a very good relationship!"
I agreed with a smile. But I clearly felt that Kevin was not in the mood. The deep eyebrows twisted together unnaturally. He was a person who likes quietness. Every time he saw Lucy, he felt noisy.
Lucy turned around and looked at Kevin with a smile. "Professor Zuckerberg, the problem encountered in the last experiment has not been solved yet. Can you teach me?"
Kevin was still wiping his clothes with his head down. Lucy had just bumped into him there and he was a bit of a germaphobe.
"Professor Zuckerberg..." she said in a low tone.
Kevin clenched his hands tightly, wanting to say something but stopping. Finally, his throat rolled and he walked quickly into the apartment building. I watched him pull his tie and there was a false illusion of emergency escape.
"It's okay, he..." I tried to explain to Lucy.
"Mrs. Zuckerberg, Professor Zuckerberg doesn't like me, I know it." Lucy lowered her head and sighed, looking really cute.
I asked politely, "You bought some vegetables, do you want to go upstairs to eat a bite?"
I didn't expect her to agree.
Kevin and I usually eat light food. I was afraid of neglecting her, so I hurriedly ordered some meat on the shopping app.
Lucy was very energetic along the way. It gave me a kind of endless energy and spirit of young people.
When I got home, the house was filled with a faint scent of shower gel. Kevin wiped his hair with a bath towel.
When he saw us come in, he stood by the bathroom in a daze. His calm gaze passed me and stopped at Lucy.
"Professor Zuckerberg..." Lucy smiled sweetly.
The next second, Kevin went into the bathroom again with a bath towel.
"Didn't you just take a shower? Why are you in again? Kevin, just sit down."
"Okay."
When Kevin came out, he was covered in moisture.
Lucy jumped in front of him, "Professor Zuckerberg, the last question..."
"Get out of the way." Kevin's voice was chilling.
The next second, with a "bang", he closed the door of the master bedroom.
Chapter 2When he came out again, he had changed into a decent shirt.
Kevin took a note and patiently explained to her. Their voices gradually became smaller. They were soon covered by the sound of the hair dryer.
When I came out, Lucy was also covered in moisture. The hem of her skirt seemed to be wet by the rain. Even the broken hair on her forehead was wet.
Kevin stood in front of the window, blowing his hair calmly. Water drops fell from his hair to the ground.
"Let's eat." Kevin hummed and went to the kitchen to fetch the dishes.
I wiped the water on the ground.
Lucy jumped up, "Mrs. Zuckerberg, can I help you?"
She smiled and snatched the mop from my hand, bent down and mopped the floor hard.
The temperature in the room was indeed hot and Lucy had two buttons on her collar unbuttoned. She bent over, her short skirt lifted up and swayed against her hips from time to time.
Kevin came out with a plate and glanced at it.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Let's eat."
"Here I am!" Lucy stood up with sweat all over her head.
I took her mop as I said, "You don't know where to put it, give it to me."
I took the things and put them back where they were. The strange thing was. This mop had been used for four years and was is still in its original state. But this time it couldn’t be inserted into the bucket. I just used a little force and the bucket broke.
"You've used this mop for four years, right? It's time to change it." Kevin walked towards me, still smelling a faint smell of shower gel.
He pushed me back twice and I took two steps back.
In a trance, I saw five finger marks on the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony. The palm was not big, but small and powerful. Even the shape of the five fingers was distorted.
"Isn't it fixed?"
"Mrs. Zuckerberg, a mop can be used for four years. What brand is it? I'll buy one to try."
Kevin pulled out the chair and I sat down naturally.
"If you like it, I'll send it to you."
"Okay! Mrs. Zuckerberg, your fried mutton is really delicious!" Lucy smiled sweetly and scooped up two more chopsticks.
There were a few drops of oil on the edge of my mouth. I lowered my head to eat and Kevin, who always hated the smell of mutton, also stretched his chopsticks to the plate of mutton.
He seemed to think it tasted good and ate several mouthfuls in a row. One mouthful after another. Finally, his face changed and he ran to the bathroom to vomit.
I put down my chopsticks, slowly picked up the water on the table and went to the bathroom.
The always arrogant man panicked when he saw someone coming.
"It's me," I said.
He let go of the hand that was pressing the door.
I handed him the water. I patted his back slowly.
"If you can't eat that, then just don't eat."
He didn't say anything, stood up with the help of the sink and went out.
When I returned to the dining table, Lucy kept looking down at her phone.
"When you are full, go down the table and play."
Lucy raised her head and immediately took the chopsticks to eat. "Oh, isn't this Jackie doing data comparison for me?"
I thought he wouldn't answer it again.
But a light voice followed. "Then why did you come to me today?"
Kevin lowered his head to eat and his indifference seemed to be no different.
"Mrs. Zuckerberg, look at how fierce Professor Zuckerberg is. You should take care of him."
Kevin raised his head and Lucy made a face and ran away. "I'm full!"
I put down my bowl and chopsticks and Kevin looked at the half bowl of rice in my bowl and asked. "Are you full?"
"Not that hungry." He took the last bite of rice and went to the kitchen with the bowl and chopsticks.
Chapter 3"Wait for me to come back and wash it. I'll take her home first," said Kevin.
I didn't say anything and Lucy had already reached the door.
She said lightly, "Professor Zuckerberg, no need, I can go back by myself."
Kevin put down the bowl and chopsticks anxiously and the bowl and chopsticks collided violently with the sink. Then Kevin came out.
"Professor Zuckerberg, you just accompany Mrs. Zuckerberg, I'm leaving first, Mrs. Zuckerberg, bye."
"Let him take you. Men nowadays tend to get agitated when they see beautiful girls and you're not safe alone."
Lucy had just put on her shoes. Just about to speak. Kevin had already walked out of the house with his coat.
I stood in front of the French window and no matter how I wiped, it seemed that I couldn't wipe it clean. There would always be a messy mark left.
I went to the balcony and it was already dark outside. I still found that the two pots of flowers that I had carefully cared for had withered.
About five minutes later, Kevin and Lucy came out of the unit door one after the other. Lucy jumped behind Kevin. And Kevin was still holding Lucy's coat in his arms.
"Husband." I called him out.
Kevin opened the car door. I felt his figure pause. He quickly threw Lucy's clothes into the car.
Then he turned his head to look at me.
"Can you please buy two clean rags?"
"Rub?"
"I want something that won't leave marks."
"Got it."
I watched the two people get in the car.
Lucy leaned on the passenger window with both hands and breathed. Then she drew a heart for me.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zuckerberg, for asking Professor Zuckerberg to take me!"
I smiled slightly, turned around and let go of my strength.
The moment the window was closed, the house seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
I sat on the sofa tiredly. I seemed to still smell the sweet perfume on Lucy's body.
There was Kevin's notebook on the coffee table. His handwriting was very beautiful and next to the vigorous handwriting, there was a very cute student font. The red ballpoint pen was messily drawing on his black lines.
Kevin had profound academic attainments. He could tolerate everything, but he was serious in academics. He would not tolerate any blasphemy. I once crumpled his paper and he scolded me for a long time. Now on this book, after the nonsense.
He patiently wrote it again. I flipped through it again and found that there was a cute illustration drawn with red pen on the first page. The illustration was sunny and energetic, although it was very good.
But Kevin would never allow this to happen. I could even imagine how angry he would be. But the dry notebook looked like it had been drawn for a long time.
There was a noise outside the door and Kevin came in a short while later.
I cleared my head and closed the notebook.
He came over with a plastic bag in his hand. There were two newly bought rags in it.
"What do you want this for?"
"Do the housework."
After a pause, I said again. "I always feel that our home is... messy."
Kevin looked at the tidy living room and said nothing.
Everyone knew that Kevin was a famous cleanliness freak. Wherever he was, it was always spotless. But when I look at my home, I always feel that everything was dirty.
At night, Kevin fell asleep. I couldn't sleep.
I sat on the sofa and stared at the five handprints on the window in a daze. I wiped those five fingerprints all night.
Kevin left in the morning. I heard that he had something to do in the lab.
Before leaving, I called Kevin.
"Can I go with you?"
"We've been together for so long, but I haven't been to your lab yet."
Chapter 4Kevin nodded calmly.
Getting in the car, he fastened my seat belt considerately.
"You didn't take folic acid, did you?"
I shook my head.
Does he really want this child?
The next second, Kevin handed me the bottle of folic acid. I didn't say anything and ate it with water.
The lab was not far from here.
Kevin swiped the access control and took me in.
Contrary to his quiet appearance, Kevin's lab was particularly noisy.
"Professor Zuckerberg! You're here! Have you eaten? I made it myself!"
Lucy stuffed a piece of pastry into Kevin's mouth. She even stood on tiptoe to wipe the corner of Kevin's mouth.
"I don't like sweets, so you don't need to bring me any more."
"Oh."
Kevin didn't eat any sweets, but he didn't spit out the pastry in his mouth.
"Professor Zuckerberg, what do you like..."
Several students poked Lucy. Only then did she notice me behind the door.
"Mrs. Zuckerberg!" she shouted excitedly.
Lucy immediately put her arm around me and enthusiastically led me in.
"Mrs. Zuckerberg, why are you here? Let me help you change clothes? Mrs. Zuckerberg, try the breakfast I made! Professor Zuckerberg is really not lucky."
Other students also surrounded me. They called me "Mrs. Zuckerberg" affectionately.
In the past few years of ordinary life, I didn't even feel that my age had changed. But being with these children, I still felt old. From them, I saw a rare vitality.
"Are you not going to start yet?" Kevin's dull voice was incompatible with their vitality.
But his words were absolutely majestic. One by one, they all pulled their heads together to experiment.
I sat alone in the corner.
Kevin had few students, but they were all outstanding. Among them, Lucy was the dumbest. She had made Kevin look cold several times.
"Let's stop here today."
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. They lowered their heads and walked out dejectedly.
"Lucy, you stay."
Hearing this, Lucy turned her head. The sun shone on her bright face, which was really beautiful.
"Professor Zuckerberg..."
"You will do the finishing work later. If the comparison is not successful, you don't have to go back."
Lucy put on her goggles, which were a little crooked. Kevin raised his hand and wanted to help her adjust it twice, but he held back. He had mysophobia.
I walked over and adjusted Lucy's goggles.
Lucy looked at me with a smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Zuckerberg!"
But it was also because of this distraction that Lucy mixed the two chemicals together.
A golden light flashed in front of my eyes and the temperature of the entire laboratory rose. The liquid splashed and stung my forehead. The burning sensation made me groan. The buzz of the explosion lingered in my ears. The whole ear canal was roaring and it took a long time to recover.
When my consciousness faded, I looked at Kevin. He immediately pulled Lucy into his arms. He turned his back to block all the splashes. He was afraid that she would be dirty. The liquid penetrated through the white hexagram and penetrated his skin.
I pressed my forehead and fainted. I knew the erosion of this kind of thing better than anyone else. But Kevin didn't say a word of pain.
