"What?" Shen Cong asked incredulously, "What are you telling me?"

Ji Bei smiled and said, "Teacher Bai said she likes me too."

Shen Cong slapped his forehead: "I knew it! Teacher Bai definitely has feelings for you!"

Otherwise, how could Teacher Bai, who is busy with important matters concerning all mankind, still find time to send me a figurine?

He thought it was strange back then, but now he understands it all. Wasn't it just because of his brother Ji?

Even geniuses can't resist handsome men!

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Chen Cong's eyes darted around. "Wait a minute, didn't Teacher Bai get married?" He slapped his forehead, his voice rising involuntarily. "Brother Ji, you're going to be Teacher Bai's lover!"

Ji Bei's face darkened. Shen Cong's words were unpleasant, but they were true: "I'll be officially promoted soon. She agreed to divorce her husband."

Shen Cong: ...

Brother Ji has changed; the moral lad has become immoral.

Whether to convince herself or others, Ji Bei added, "She said she doesn't like her husband, she only likes me. And when I reach the legal marriage age, we will get married."

Shen Cong scratched his head, seemingly able to imagine Ji Ge accepting moral condemnation while chasing after Teacher Bai, demanding recognition.

The two people on the other end of the phone were silent. Shen Cong felt awkward for a while, but then worried that his brother Ji would feel awkward too.

I found two lines from a love triangle online: "In a relationship, the one who isn't loved is the third party. Brother Ji, you know you're truly in love? True love conquers all!"

"Even if we take a step back, who is Teacher Bai? He's someone who has made outstanding contributions to all of humanity!"

"She must have been under a lot of pressure too. Think about it, weren't you under a lot of pressure before you went abroad to win the championship?"

"Professor Bai is facing pressure from the entire research institute. Even geniuses get tired sometimes, you know? Just like that... You took care of Professor Bai's feelings. You made her happy, and her experiments went smoothly. Brother Ji, what you're doing benefits all mankind. There's nothing shameful about it."

On the contrary, I am proud of you.

Ji Bei's brow twitched: "You'd better shut up."

Too lazy to listen to his nonsense: "She's been really tired lately, and I want her to relax. But I can't think of anything besides playing video games. Do you have any ideas?"

Not long after, Ji Bei received a text package on his phone: "The Self-Cultivation of a Male Fox Spirit".

After sending the items out, Shen Cong kept his achievements and fame hidden.

...

This month has indeed been very busy for Bai Yan, but it hasn't been particularly tiring.

She works during the day and has a young and handsome boyfriend to keep her company during her breaks.

Although he couldn't have her for the time being, he had learned some tricks from somewhere, such as deliberately showing off his abs after exercising, and intentional or unintentional physical contact... These naive flirting methods were very effective with Bai Yan.

After a month of continuous work, the final extraction was successful.

In the presence of everyone at the Central China Research Institute, Ji Bei injected a reducing solution of appropriate concentration.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ji Bei's real-time physical report on the central display screen.

After the cell-reducing solution entered Ji Bei's body, it killed the diseased cells caused by his immune deficiency and quickly generated new cells, which flowed continuously into Ji Bei's limbs and bones through the blood vessels.

"It's a success..." someone whispered inside the research institute.

"We did it! We did it!" came the shouts of the crowd. The honor of this research belonged to the whole world and all of humanity. How could they not be excited?

Bai Yan was quickly surrounded by the young people at the research institute. The excitement of the crowd naturally infected her. She smiled and first clapped to celebrate the success, then said, "We succeeded. Thank you to everyone who worked day and night during this time, which has brought about a qualitative improvement in our existing medical methods."

"This is our honor, and it is also the honor of the entire nation of China."

After she finished speaking, applause naturally erupted.

Bai Yan continued, "Once the data stabilizes, I've applied for a two-week paid vacation for everyone."

"Ahhh! Long live the Doctor!"

Long live the Doctor!

After working non-stop for so long, who wouldn't look forward to a long vacation? Especially a paid vacation!

Research is research, but they also need to rest and eat outside of research.

Outside the crowd, Ji Bei watched her being surrounded by admirers, and he clapped along. Suddenly, a feeling arose in his heart, as if he had once been in the audience watching her shine like this.

For the next two weeks, Ji Bei still couldn't leave, as the physical data reports from his recovery period were still data that the research institute needed to collect.

At that moment, Assistant Zhou received a call from the A University Research Institute. Since it was for Dr. Bai, he didn't dare to delay.

"Doctor, the school is looking for you." Assistant Zhou handed over the phone.

Bai Yan was busy with other things, and upon hearing this, she said, "Could you please turn on the speakerphone for me?"

"OK."

"Hello, I'm Bai Yan," she said while looking at the data.

"Bai Yan, the deadline is the end of this month. You haven't been to the research institute for a month. If you can't submit your research report by the end of the month, then there's no need for the institute to hold a meeting about your dismissal. I will fire you directly," Lin Hai said.

Bai Yan put down the documents in her hand and pinched her temples. She was so worried about Ji Bei's health that she almost forgot about it.

After letting go, she said to Professor Lin, "Thank you for reminding me. I will go to the hospital in a few days."

This is a doctoral degree that the original owner earned through merit, and he couldn't give it up.

Lin Hai snorted coldly: "Remember to bring a few more suitcases when you come, otherwise you won't be able to take all your things when you leave."

Bai Yan hung up the phone immediately.

Professor Chen, who had been reviewing data with her, adjusted his glasses and said, "Hey, the voice on the phone sounds like Lin Hai?"

Professor Chen was a Nobel laureate. Lin Hai took his classes and has recently been applying to join the National Academia Sinica, so he can be considered his student.

“Yes, he was my mentor at the A University Research Institute,” Bai Yan said.

Professor Chen slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that Bai Yan was still a doctoral student after a month of this. He asked again, "You've been in our research institute this month. What about your research report from University A?"

"Or should I go to University A and say something?" Professor Chen was confident that he still had that kind of influence.

Besides, if University A knew what Bai Yan had done, how could they possibly let go of such a genius who could have ensured the school's reputation lasted for a century?

"No need." Bai Yan smiled at Professor Chen: "That's the rule, so I'll follow the rule."

“I also have other research on hand, and Chen Ling and the others can do the data observation in the next couple of days.” Bai Yan knew that Ji Bei’s body would be fine.

"Other research?" Professor Chen adjusted his glasses. "You mean antiviral serum?"
