Jiang Cheng went straight to his room after returning in the afternoon, and it has been more than six hours since then. He only came out once to go to the bathroom.
Luo Xiaoli imagined her brother sitting at his desk through the door—his pen poking his chin, lost in thought, as if he had entered a state of complete absorption.
She really wanted to open the door and see what was happening, but it would be impolite to disturb her brother's thinking.
Luo Xiaoli tilted her head, deliberately propped her long legs up on the coffee table, and watched TV absentmindedly.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's door opened, and he came out carrying a cup. His handsome face was in deep thought, and his lips had grown a bit of stubble from not shaving for several days.
When Luo Xiaoli saw him come out, she quickly turned her head away and pretended to be watching TV seriously. She tried to appear calm, but her eyes kept glancing in his direction.
He hadn't noticed Xiao Li sitting on the sofa when he came out. It wasn't until he went to the coffee table to pour hot water that he realized there was someone sitting on the sofa.
Her legs, which were propped up on the coffee table, were white and long, very eye-catching. Jiang Cheng noticed them at a glance, his eyes narrowed, and he even paused for a moment.
Anyone who sees those legs will be confused.
Jiang Cheng touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and looked away from his legs.
Little did she know, her younger sister had seen all of this.
"You're still awake, Xiao Li?"
"No, I'm watching a TV series. I'll go to sleep after I finish this episode."
She held the remote control and pointed it at the period drama playing on TV. The male and female leads were flirting and playing out the rule that every time they fell down, they would kiss.
Jiang Cheng had absolutely no interest in this. He nodded indifferently, surprised that Xiao Li actually liked watching this. Boys and girls do have different interests. He never watched TV, and even if he did, he only watched "Animal World".
After pouring the water, he turned and left, closing his door behind him.
Jiang Cheng thought it was great that Xiao Li never asked what he was doing in his room. Although they lived under the same roof, they never bothered each other.
Maintaining a subtle sense of distance.
The sudden appearance of his younger sister, though initially making him feel uneasy, has become a habit after spending these past few days with her. He's gotten used to having another person in the house when he comes home from school.
There were two questions that puzzled Jiang Cheng greatly.
One reason is that her aunt and uncle are neither particularly handsome nor beautiful, so why did they produce such a beautiful offspring as Luo Xiaoli?
Another question is, since I leave early and return late to take care of my studies and am away from home all day, what has Xiaoli been doing during this time?
She doesn't go out to play; she just stays at home.
Unable to come up with an answer, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to give up, put the teacup on the desk, and prepare to continue his work.
But just as his fingers touched the keyboard, he suddenly remembered something.
Did Xiao Li not bring much money with her this time...?
Oh right! How could I have forgotten about that?
Jiang Cheng then took out his phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to Xiao Li.
This sum of money was not small. It might have been a huge amount for Jiang Cheng before, but now that he had a full million in funds, he naturally didn't care about it.
Less than two minutes after I turned around, Xiao Li sent me a message.
"Brother, why did you suddenly transfer money to me...?"
"Oh, I think you must be very bored when I'm not home most of the time. You can use this money to go shopping and buy clothes, or buy some food and other necessities for your room."
"Pocket money?"
"Yes, pocket money."
Xiao Li, sitting on the sofa, stared with her mouth slightly open, somewhat surprised.
Who would have thought... that her brother was a hidden millionaire.
She playfully stuck out her tongue, and this unexpected concern made her feel a little happy.
"Love you, brother~"
"......"
The only sounds in the room were the clatter of keyboards and the occasional turning of pages. Piles of messy documents lay scattered across A4 sheets of paper, covered with various calculation formulas and markings.
Jiang Cheng stared intently at the paper he was editing on the computer. The bitter taste of tea filled the room. He picked up his cup and took a sip, his eyes never leaving the manuscript on the screen.
The paper is titled: "Conquering the Human Genome".
Even though his eyes were bloodshot, they still shone with a passionate light.
If one can organize the mysteries of the human genome given to them by the system in their mind, then the century-old problem that has plagued human biotechnology for decades will be solved.
The project, which began in 1985 and involved scientists from five countries, is still not fully concluded.
He Jiangcheng will be the first.
Moreover, it represents the country that started the latest in biotechnology.
He has been preparing for this for some time now, reading a lot of relevant materials, conducting research, writing papers non-stop, differentiating formulas, and analyzing terminal evolution...
Jiang Cheng did this not only for the benefit of China, but also for a small personal motive.
Thanks to the barrage of criticism from netizens under that trending post.
He realized that only by revealing a portion of his strongest trump card and handing it over to the state could he obtain a greater system reward.
He might actually be awarded the title of professor at Tsinghua or Peking University because of his contributions.
It was nearly 1 a.m. when Jiang Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.
He was exhausted, and his thesis had reached a bottleneck; he kept revising and rewriting, but he was never satisfied.
Jiang Cheng slumped back in his chair, resting his hands on the back of his head. He was clearly exhausted but not sleepy at all.
My mind is filled with these formulas...
