Su Ying's laboratory was very quiet, with only the sounds of various instruments and the sound of pens being put down when taking notes.
He knocked on the door and someone looked over.
Because Teacher Gu is so low-key, most of the people in Su Ying's team have followed her for two years and have never seen her husband.
But after hearing about their story, I knew that Gu Jinghong was once Su Ying's patient.
"Teacher Su just went to change her clothes and will be off work soon, but she's been too tired lately."
Gu Jinghong nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then stood there waiting for Su Ying.
He did not enter the laboratory, nor did he peek at any data, but his eyes accidentally glanced at the data title in the hands of a researcher.
His expression froze for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the data.
Just then, Su Ying changed her clothes and came over.
"Everyone, please go home. It's late. We'll be busy tomorrow."
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, her eyes fixed on Gu Jinghong, a little shocked.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Jinghong retracted his gaze and turned to look at Su Ying.
"It's snowing. I'm here to pick you up."
Su Ying was stunned. She had been in the lab all day and had no idea it was snowing.
She told the others to pack up and leave work quickly, then she took Gu Jinghong's arm and looked up at him with a smile.
"Chief Gu came to pick me up personally after get off work? This treatment is too good, isn't it?"
Gu Jinghong's gaze lingered on his arm for a moment. He did not whisper as usual that it would have a bad influence and asked Su Ying to be careful. Instead, he gently held Su Ying's hand and left the laboratory building with her.
The researchers behind him all sighed.
"So Teacher Su is so happy. Who said before that her relationship with her husband was bad? Aren't they doing pretty well?"
"Oh, it's just that some people are gossiping. After all, for someone like Teacher Su who works so hard, everyone thinks she doesn't really care much about her family."
When people said she worked hard, everyone nodded. They had never seen anyone as hardworking as Su Ying. It was common for her to stay in the laboratory at night. It seemed that she gave all her enthusiasm to her work.
The temperature in Beijing was very low at night in November, and snow was falling from the sky. Su Ying, wearing a thick down jacket, rode a bicycle with Gu Jinghong to go home.
Gu Jinghong pinched her waist with both hands and muttered, "The snow is slippery, let's not ride the bike, let's walk."
Su Ying looked down at the two hands that almost completely gripped her waist and snorted.
"What time do we have to go home? I haven't had dinner yet, and the snow is probably going to get heavier soon. We have to get home quickly."
Gu Jinghong moved his fingers upwards and pressed his whole body against Su Ying's back.
"Are you anxious about this project now? Why are you so busy that you stay out all night?"
Su Ying paused and smiled.
"Yes, it's urgent, and it's a critical moment. However, there are still some steps that need to be improved..."
She stopped talking here and looked at the road ahead covered with a layer of snow, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her eyes.
