My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 137 Why does this photo look familiar?
"Dean Cui, did Professor An Lan leave any other messages?" Zhuang Xiao asked seemingly inconspicuously.

"It seems... gone." Cui Xiu Lian thought about it, but still shook her head.

Then she smiled and asked, "What's your name, kid?"

"Zhuang Xiao, the Zhuang Xiao from Zhuang Zhou Xiao Mengdie. Dean Cui, you can just call me Xiao Zhuang." Zhuang Xiao told the truth.

Shu Die couldn't help but look at him.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly?
Is this guy hinting at something?
She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and said nothing.

"Xiao Zhuang, are you interested in Professor An Lan?" Cui Xiu Lian looked at him leisurely.

Zhuang Xiao nodded and scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. "To be honest, I have always admired those scientists who have made contributions to the country. Besides, I majored in computer science, so I admire Professor An Lan, who invented the first computer in our country, even more.

"It's just that Professor An Lan is a low-key person, and I can't find any information about her on the Internet, so I asked this question presumptuously. I hope you don't mind."

Cui Xiulian felt strange, "But aren't you friends with Xiaoyue'er? Didn't she tell you?"

"She usually does research in other places. We often only contact each other once every few months. Besides, Professor An is also a very busy person. I have never heard of her stories."

Zhuang Xiao smiled shyly, then asked curiously, "From the tone of your voice, you and Professor An Lan knew each other before?"

"Of course. I was born in 59. When I was a child, Ms. An Lan lived in Luoyang for a period of time. She was my neighbor at that time."

Cui Xiulian's eyes were full of memories of the past, "At that time, we kids often went to her house to play after school, and she asked her assistant to make mung bean soup for us and often gave us snacks.

"You don't know, when Ms. An was young, she was a super beauty. After all, she was educated abroad. Her temperament is different from ours. She is very Western. But she has devoted herself to the scientific research of her motherland and has never found a partner. At the beginning, a leader came to her job and wanted to introduce her to the children of high-ranking officials, but she refused.

"I didn't expect that she would still remember me in 99. In fact, it was Mr. An who arranged my job here after I graduated from high school. I am very grateful to her."

"I see."

Zhuang Xiao got a new clue. It turned out that the work of Director Cui in the welfare home was arranged by An Lan?
It can't be that the dumplings are made just to bring back the vinegar that Gu Shiyue had spent twelve years with, right?
It's impossible even to think about.

But An Lan once lived in Luoyang?
Zhuang Xiao hurriedly asked, "Does Professor An Lan have relatives in Luoyang?"

"No, I haven't heard her talk about it before. When I was a child, she lived alone. At most, she had a few female assistants to take care of her life every day."

Cui Xiulian was quite excited to find a like-minded person. She stood up and said, "You guys sit down first. I'll go find some photos."

After saying that, she opened the door and left in a hurry, probably going back to take a photo.

After she left, Zhuang Xiao looked back and saw Shu Die fidgeting and hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, is there something our Miss Shu dare not say?"

Shu Die looked at him for a long while before suddenly speaking, "Why did you say 'Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly' when you introduced yourself?"

"Of course I have to tell them which two characters it is. It has a story behind it." Zhuang Xiao suddenly realized what he was talking about, and then deliberately sighed as Shu Die bit her lower lip. "In fact, I also asked my parents why they gave me this name. They said that they had agreed with Uncle Shu that if both families have boys or girls in the future, they would become sworn brothers or sisters. If it's a boy and a girl, they would get engaged. So they just combined the name with the same story, and saved the trouble of thinking of a name."

But in fact, it's not.

In fact, Zhuang Xiao’s father looked for allusions everywhere and originally wanted to name him "Zhuang Zhou" or "Zhuangzi", but his grandfather was still alive at that time, and the old man said that the name was too big and the child could not bear it, but the father did not want to give up, so he simply called him Zhuang Xiao.

But I was afraid that she would be unhappy if I mentioned Shudie's name.

Her parents are a loving couple, and her being born was purely an accident.

It can’t be said to be an accident. The couple didn’t want to have a child so early, but Zhuang Xiao was born at that time.

He has been quiet and gentle since childhood, and is the most loved by his elders.

Shudie's mother was jealous and wanted a child too, which led to the birth of Shudie.

As for her name.
In fact, Shu Die's father was too lazy to think about it, and he was having a quarrel with his family at that time, and he didn't want to listen to his elders, so he just picked a word "蝶" that sounded like a girl's name based on the allusion of Zhuang Xiao's name, and that's how her name came about.

"Impossible!" Shu Die wanted to refute like this, but when she thought of her father's character, she hesitated again.

In the past, Dad only had eyes for Mom, and after Mom passed away, Dad was depressed for a long time. After that, he returned to the group and devoted himself to work, and didn't pay much attention to her.

There is no guarantee that what Zhuang Xiao said is true.

She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, "But, that was just a joke in the past, you can't take it seriously."

"Oh, who would take it seriously? What era is this and there are still child marriages?" Zhuang Xiao said nonchalantly, "Your father still cares about you. He probably thinks that I know you well and won't cheat you.

"Besides, if I really didn't care about your feelings, I wouldn't have suggested you go on a blind date with me but just thrown it to me."

Zhuang Xiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you 'right now', don't be too self-indulgent."

Shu Die: “.”

Sometimes she gets angry with herself and wonders if she is a little bit cheap.

It was good that Zhuang Xiao was not interested, so she followed her wishes.

But when she heard the other party say this, she felt a little unhappy.

Especially since she had met Dong Weirui.

Yes, that policewoman is really good, and her status even gives her an extra bonus.

But is she worse than that policewoman?
She was a little unconvinced.

Just when she was about to say something to get angry, Choi Soo-ryeon pushed the door open and came back.

Shu Die quickly swallowed her words back.

That was a close call! I almost went crazy!

She glared at Zhuang Xiao coldly, then turned her head away and deliberately ignored him.

Zhuang Xiao didn't care. His eyes fell on the photo frame in Cui Xiu Lian's hand.

"Look, this is a photo of us kids and Mr. An."

Cui Xiu Lian handed the photo frame to Zhuang Xiao to show off.

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment after taking it.

In the photo, there were several children surrounding a woman.

The woman was very tall and wore a slim-fitting white cardigan and blue jeans.

Her long hair naturally fell behind her waist, and her sweet oval face showed an intellectual smile, and she even had two sweet dimples.

To be honest, her looks are indeed not inferior to Shu Die and Dong Weirui. It can only be said that they each have their own merits.

In ancient times, Yue was still young, so let’s not talk about it.

But this was not the reason why Zhuang Xiao was stunned.

He was stunned because he seemed to have seen this face somewhere before.

It wasn't when he met An Lan, he was referring to such a young An Lan.

But where?
