Everything was moving in a good direction, and Qin Anning devoted all his energy to the research and development of anti-cancer drugs.
Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye it was winter of 1975.
As that day approached, Qin Anning became more and more anxious and uneasy. In recent months, she even often lived in the laboratory.
"Xiao Qin, you haven't had a good rest for a week. You have to go home today no matter what!" Niu Jiancheng said with a stern face, and forcibly pulled Qin Anning out of the laboratory.
"Look at what you've become! Even a machine needs proper rest and maintenance. Scientific research isn't something that can be achieved in a short period of time. Your current mentality is clearly problematic. Go home and get some rest!"
"Teacher, please don't worry about me anymore. I can really hold on. Let me go back to the laboratory and continue my experiments." Qin Anning blinked his bloodshot, dry and red eyes, walked around Niu Jiancheng and went straight to the laboratory.
Because the second-in-command has little time left, she must seize every second.
"What are you in such a hurry for?" Niu Jiancheng suddenly grabbed Qin An Ning. Because his movements were a little hasty, Qin An Ning staggered and couldn't stand firmly. His body lost balance in an instant and almost fell to the ground.
She shook her dizzy head vigorously. The condition of the second-in-command was always kept strictly confidential, and she absolutely could not reveal a single detail. She had to claim that there was no result yet, and she felt a little anxious.
"This is simply nonsense. How can you do good scientific research if you are impatient? I now order you to go home and rest immediately." Niu Jiancheng was firm in his attitude and refused to compromise at all.
Qin An Ning knew in her heart that he was being so tough for his own good, so she patiently explained to him.
But this stubborn old man refused to listen and remained unmoved no matter how Qin An Ning explained.
When the two were in a stalemate, someone suddenly came to report that Lu Cheng was coming to bring soup to Qin An Ning.
Qin Anning has been immersed in the laboratory. Although she has the support of space water, the high intensity of brain work and long-term lack of rest have made her lose a lot of weight.
Lu Cheng felt sorry for her and often came to bring her some nourishing soups and drinks.
It was made and placed in the space, but Qin Anning always forgot to drink it because he was busy. He had no choice but to deliver it to the laboratory personally.
"You're just in time. Let him take the person back." Niu Jiancheng didn't allow any explanation. He pulled Qin An Ning tightly and strode out.
Qin An Ning could have broken free if she had used a little force, but she couldn't bear to refuse her teacher's kindness, so she could only follow him out to see Lu Cheng.
"Take her back and you are not allowed to come back to work without three days of rest." Niu Jiancheng said seriously.
Lu Cheng quickly hugged Qin An Ning who was pushed over. Seeing her haggard appearance, he felt very distressed. "Ning Ning, be obedient and go back to have a good rest first."
Looking at those affectionate and worried eyes, Qin An Ning nodded reluctantly in compromise.
Lu Cheng's car research and development has reached a critical juncture, but even so, he still takes time to bring her soup and is always worried about her. Thinking of this, she feels that she is indeed a bit selfish.
On the way back in the car, Qin An Ning leaned in the familiar and reassuring embrace, and her physical and mental exhaustion made her fall asleep unknowingly.
I didn’t even know how I got out of the car and back to bed. I slept until the next night.
"If you don't wake up, I'm going to send you to the hospital." Qin Zhen's heart finally settled down when he saw his daughter wake up.
Qin Anning yawned and leaned lazily on the sofa. "I'm fine. I'm just too tired recently."
"Ningning, Lu Cheng and I understand how you feel, but some things may not be forced, so don't put too much pressure on yourself." Qin Zhen said with a look of pity.
Qin An Ning's expression was gloomy, and he nodded slowly, "I know, I was too stubborn before."
After that adventure, she always wanted to make up for some of the regrets, but unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible to overcome fate just by working hard.
That day is just a few days away. Unless she is a god, it is impossible for her to successfully develop anti-cancer drugs now.
It's a pity, but that's life, no one can do everything perfectly.
After comforting herself in her heart, she tried to put on a bright smile, "Don't worry, Dad, I've figured it all out."
Do everything within your ability and don't let your family worry about you all the time.
Lu Cheng carefully walked out of the kitchen carrying the freshly cooked fish soup. He first looked at Qin An Ning carefully and saw that although her complexion was better than before, she still looked a little haggard.
Besides, the lost weight cannot be regained all at once. He secretly thought to himself that he must make more delicious food for her to replenish her weight recently.
"Come here quickly, there's your favorite fish soup."
After sleeping for so long, Qin Anning really felt hungry. When she heard Lu Cheng calling her, she immediately walked over happily in her slippers.
Lu Cheng blew on the fish soup carefully, confirming that it was at the right temperature before handing it to her, and gently reminded her, "Drink slowly."
Qin An Ning's appetite immediately increased as soon as he saw the milky white fish soup. However, as soon as he put a mouthful of the soup into his mouth, he couldn't help but start to retch.
Her face turned ugly in an instant, and she quickly put down the bowl and rushed to the toilet.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng suddenly panicked and hurried over, gently patting her back.
But Qin An Ning had slept for so long without eating anything, his stomach was empty, and he only vomited some acid.
Lu Cheng quickly poured her a cup of warm water for her to rinse her mouth, and said with a worried look on his face, "What's wrong with you? Why don't we go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Qin An Ning leaned weakly on the sofa and said listlessly, "Maybe I had irregular meals before and had stomach problems. It shouldn't be a big deal. I'll be fine after some rest."
"Then I'll make you some millet porridge, which is good for your stomach." Lu Cheng said as he got up and went to the kitchen.
"I also want to eat some cucumber salad."
"Okay, I'll do it for you."
Qin Zhen frowned and looked at Qin An Ning, and asked uncertainly, "Ning Ning, are you pregnant?"
"impossible!"
Although they had agreed to have a child, Lu Cheng later saw that she was devoted to the research of anti-cancer drugs and did not want to delay her career, so he suggested that they have the child later.
Although I'm not taking birth control pills, I've always used a small umbrella. How could it be possible...
Wait, it seems like, last month, they were so excited that they forgot to use it, but it couldn’t be so accurate that time, right?
