Chapter 724: Enjoying It, the Years Are Quiet (Three Updates in One)
"Yueyue is back?"
“…Uncle.”
Han Shen was holding a water cup and was about to fill it with water. "Why is your face so red?"
"…Really? Maybe it's too hot."
"Ask the kitchen to make a can of mung bean soup tomorrow and bring it to the lab."
"Okay. I'll go upstairs first then."
"Go ahead and get some rest."
After returning to the room, Jiang Fuyue went straight to the bathroom and scooped up a handful of cold water to splash on her face.
I looked up and saw myself in the mirror. My face was as rosy as a peach, my lips were bright red, and my eyes were sparkling.
The image of the two of them tangling involuntarily flashed through my mind. Inside the narrow car, the man's breath was hot...
Jiang Fuyue sighed softly, "Male beauty can lead to misleading people."
At the same time, Xie Dingyuan was driving, his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes looking straight ahead.
Suddenly, he remembered something and the corners of his mouth curled up.
He still had a smile on his face until he entered the house.
The old man and the old lady were watching TV in the living room when they heard a noise——
"Did someone open the door?"
The old man tilted his ear and listened carefully for a few seconds: "Why didn't I notice it?"
"Just now! I'll go and take a look..." As she said that, the old lady stood up and walked towards the entrance.
The next second, he cried out in surprise: "A Yuan?! Why are you back?! Old man, why are you still standing there? Your son is back!"
Xie Zhendong finally came back to his senses from his daze, walked quickly forward, and took a look, it was really the youngest!
"You didn't even say hello when you came back. Look how scared your mother is!"
Ugh! That scared him too.
Xie Dingyuan: "It was a temporary decision."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Would you like some more?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'm not hungry."
The old lady looked at her son distressedly, tears in her eyes: "You've lost weight again."
Xie Dingyuan: "..." Anyway, in the old lady's words, he has never been fat.
"Are you tired? Go upstairs and have some rest." As she said that, she brushed the dust off his shoulders.
Suddenly the old lady paused and sniffed twice.
Xie Dingyuan was completely unaware.
After he left, the old man asked, "What happened to you just now?"
The old lady calmly raised her right hand, holding a strand of hair between her thumb and index finger.
To be more precise, it's a long hair!
Black.
The old man's eyes widened, a little bit unbelieving: "Found it on Xiaojiu?"
"Or? It's stuck to your shoulder. I saw it right away."
"That... doesn't mean anything." The old man quickly calmed down and analyzed rationally: "Maybe he accidentally bumped into someone on the road, or the wind blew his hair onto him."
Unexpectedly, the old lady said firmly, "Impossible! You know how particular our son is. How could he allow someone else's hair to stick to him?"
"Yeah..." The old man smacked his lips, "He's a germaphobe. But maybe he didn't notice and didn't clean it."
"Okay, even if the hair was an accident, what about the scent?"
The old man was stunned: "Fragrance? What fragrance?"
"Don't you smell the scent of roses on Yuan? He never uses perfume. If he sees someone wearing it on the street, he'll stay as far away from them as possible. And roses, taste it, taste it carefully!"
"So, what you're saying is that A Yuan was with a girl before he came back?"
"And he also gave the other person roses." The old lady said with certainty.
"Can't it be rose-scented perfume?"
"I've been blending perfume for decades, can't I even tell the difference between perfume and real flowers?"
The old man was speechless.
After a while, he uttered in a daze: "...Xiaojiu is in love?"
"I heard Yunzao say he was having dinner with a girl and was bumped into. Could it be this girl?"
The old man stroked his chin and said, "I think it's very likely. Xiaojiu isn't the kind of scumbag who changes his mind every day. He won't change people so quickly."
The old lady nodded in agreement: "How about... I go up and ask around and find out?"
"Come on, it's pointless to ask him about his personality, as he's so quiet that he can't even be beaten with three sticks."
The old lady is very curious. Her son has been single for more than 20 years and now he is finally showing signs of getting reunited. She even gave him roses. It seems that the relationship is likely to succeed!
So, what kind of girl managed to capture this huge iceberg in her family?
"Don't you want to know?"
Old man: "I think so. But what's the use of thinking?"
The old lady: “…” Unable to refute.
That night, the old couple went to sleep with smiles on their faces.
Although they don’t know who their future daughter-in-law will be yet, the fact that their older single man has finally come to his senses and knows how to fall in love is enough to make the old couple feel very happy.
…
The next day, Jiang Fuyue had breakfast and set off for the laboratory.
There is still half a month before the start of school at Mingda University. Within this half month, she must complete the remaining experiments, organize and analyze the data, and then write a complete paper.
Time is running out and we can’t afford to waste even a single day!
Fortunately, during the construction of the new laboratory, although Q University no longer allowed her to use the A3 experimental area, all the data needed in the early and middle stages had already been obtained.
Therefore, Jiang Fuyue was not idle during this period. He stayed at home to do data analysis and worked ten hours a day, which was no different from staying in the laboratory.
Due to the lack of professional data analysis equipment, many difficulties arose during the process, but they were all solved one by one by Jiang Fuyue.
If you don't have the equipment, write your own program instead.
If there is no data recording template, then create one.
Build bridges when encountering water, dig holes when encountering mountains, all difficulties are no longer difficulties in front of Jiang Fuyue, they are called - fun!
When she got to the lab, she found the lights were on.
Xie Dingyuan turned around and smiled slightly: "Are you here?"
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you give me the key yesterday?"
She looked helpless: "I mean, you don't have to come so early. You worked hard yesterday. You should have a good rest and sleep in."
The man sighed quietly, "Why would you want to sleep in? There's no one to sleep with."
Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched: "...Have you been here for a long time?"
"Half an hour earlier than you."
"Have you had breakfast?" Jiang Fuyue asked him as she put on her lab coat.
"I've eaten. Do you have any extra lab coats?"
"What? You want to go to the lab table too?"
Xie Dingyuan: "That depends on whether you are willing to use my free labor."
Jiang Fuyue's eyes lit up, "You said it's free, it would be a waste if I didn't use it."
The man spread his hands: "My pleasure."
In exchange for a flying kiss from the girl.
Xie Dingyuan: "It would be better to end up here." He pointed to his cheek.
“…”Shameless.
In the next few days, Xie Dingyuan reported to the laboratory every day.
Except for the first day when Jiang Fuyue drove over by herself, he would park outside the villa early to pick her up afterwards, like a dutiful knight.
And it cannot be discovered by Han Qishan and her three uncles.
"Why? Am I ashamed to be seen?" Professor Xie was a little angry.
Jiang Fuyue: "I'm afraid you'll get beaten as soon as we meet."
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
After a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "I have a thick skin."
Now it was Jiang Fuyue's turn to be speechless.
After that, he would park in an open space fifty meters in front of the villa.
This person actually took credit for it—
"Look, I have to pick you up and drop you off, and I also have to keep it a secret. It's very tiring."
"so?"
"To be rewarded."
"What prize—ugh!"
After an unknown amount of time, the man smacked his lips with a satisfied look on his face. "Sweet."
Jiang Fuyue: “?” Have this person’s Ren and Du meridians been opened?
…
In fact, the two of them spend more time together in the laboratory.
Xie Dingyuan said he was not joking when he said he would help.
Jiang Fuyue didn't treat him as an outsider, and was never embarrassed to ask for any task assigned to him.
Therefore, such scenes can often be seen in the laboratory——
Jiang Fuyue sat in front of the experimental table to control parameters and adjust instruments and equipment, while Xie Dingyuan sat below, recording data and doing preliminary integration and analysis.
Both of them were wearing white lab coats, and at first glance, they looked like a couple's outfit.
With Xie Dingyuan's help, the experimental progress was accelerated by half.
No matter how fast or slow Jiang Fuyue is, he can always keep up with the pace and handle it with ease.
Jiang Fuyue didn't even need to tell him what to do next, he understood it immediately.
With him, we are more than just adding wings to a tiger.
It's like "adding another tiger to another tiger", one tiger has another tiger.
Of course, the effect is that one plus one is greater than two.
When Xie Dingyuan finished compiling the preliminary data analysis report and handed it to Jiang Fuyue, the girl suddenly raised her eyes and stared at him.
man:"?"
"Is there something on my face?"
"have."
"?"
"The left one is '天' and the right one is '才'."
genius!
Xie Dingyuan smiled, but he felt that the real genius was sitting opposite him, staring at him.
The dark pupils reflected her entire face, and her heart and eyes were filled with him.
"As the girlfriend of a genius, what do you think, Miss Jiang?"
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "My boyfriend is too smart. What should I do if I can't control him?"
He thought for a moment: "...No matter how smart I am, I can't escape from your control."
"That's true." He raised his chin slightly, his pride evident.
Xie Dingyuan shook his head helplessly: "You..."
Two words, endless pampering and indulgence.
Sometimes Jiang Fuyue would worry: "You are so easy to use, what if I get used to it?"
If anyone else comes to be the assistant in the future, they will feel inferior to Xie Dingyuan.
The man laughed softly when he heard this, and it was unclear whether he was happy that his abilities were recognized, or proud that she depended on him.
"Isn't this what they say - once you've seen the ocean, all other waters are but puddles; once you've seen Mount Wu, all other clouds are but mounds?"
Having seen the vast ocean, you will no longer care about water elsewhere; having seen the clouds of Mount Wushan, you will no longer call clouds elsewhere clouds.
Once you have the best, everything else becomes "compromise".
"So," Xie Dingyuan said with a delighted look, "I am the optimal solution."
“…” Becoming more and more shameless.
"You filter out the new set of data."
"good."
"Give me the remote control for the 325 device."
The man took it and handed it over.
"Has the test report for the XT equipment been released?"
"Two more minutes."
One speaks, the other does, their cooperation is perfect and their tacit understanding is perfect.
I just don't know what other people would think when they see this scene - the dignified Professor Xie, a top expert in the field of biochemistry in China, is now working as an assistant in his girlfriend's laboratory, being ordered around, and he looks like he enjoys it.
Tsk!
…
Although the two were in a relationship and worked in the same lab, they inevitably talked and chatted, but that was only a few times.
Most of the time, both of them were busy with their heads down.
Jiang Fuyue moved back and forth between various experimental equipment, busy adjusting parameters, controlling variables, and leading the entire experimental process.
Xie Dingyuan sat in front of the computer, screening data, packaging and integrating it, analyzing it, and finally issuing a report and handing it to Jiang Fuyue.
After Jiang Fuyue finishes reading it and verifies it with a machine, it can be included in the analysis database and used as valid data.
The whole process is boring and long, requiring the brain to stay awake at all times, the thinking to work non-stop, and the mental preparation to start all over again if one makes a mistake.
It is a great test of both mentality and endurance.
Therefore, there has always been a saying in the scientific research community: doing academic research is equivalent to practicing hard meditation.
Jiang Fuyue disagreed.
When people are truly obsessed with and love something and devote themselves to it wholeheartedly, all difficulties become the driving force, the wind that carries them soaring, and the waves that roll them up.
Looking at the girl with focused eyes and serious profile, the man's eyes were instantly obsessed.
He just stared at her on the lab table, as if he saw the brightest and most shining star in the dark night.
…
Thanks to Xie Dingyuan's joining, the work originally planned to be completed in half a month was completed in one week.
The time is cut in half.
On the day the manuscript was completed, Jiang Fuyue clicked "Send", and the paper was submitted to major academic journals around the world by email.
The rest can only be left to time.
"Mission accomplished." She smiled at Xie Dingyuan, with a gleam in her eyes.
"Congratulations." The man came forward and gave her a hug.
Who knew that he would not let go after this hug.
"Hey, where are your hands?"
He didn't move away, but intensified it. His low, hoarse voice rang in her ears, accompanied by a hot breath: "I should ask for a reward, shouldn't I?"
The girl curled her lips, her eyes moving: "But I didn't say sexual compensation?"
Xie Dingyuan: “…cough!”
Actually, he thought so.
…
The experiment was over, the paper was finalized, and with one week left before school started, Jiang Fuyue was completely free.
It’s exactly what Xie Dingyuan wanted!
She even suspected that this person was trying so hard to help her just for this day.
Xie Dingyuan: "Do you have any plans?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head.
He laughed, "I do!"
"What arrangements?"
"We can't miss out on anything a couple should do."
"?"
Jiang Fuyue was lazy, so she just left everything to him to arrange.
Then on the first day, Xie Dingyuan took her to a hotel and booked a room.
Jiang Fuyue: “?” An old man on the subway was looking at his phone.
This hotel is built halfway up the mountain in Chinese style. Each suite is a stand-alone building with its own courtyard and garden. It is surrounded by mountains and water, and the environment is quiet.
It is not far from the city center, only about half an hour's drive away, and it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
Jiang Fuyue fell in love with this place at first sight. Even the air had a fresh scent.
Then, she started to fall into a deep sleep.
On the first day of my stay, I slept from nine in the evening to eight in the morning of the next day. I got up, had breakfast, and took a walk with Xie Dingyuan to help digest the food.
Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Fuyue leaned on a reclining chair. Next to him was a pot of tea, brewing on a low fire, which produced a wisp of tea fragrance and a faint white mist. In his hand, he held a copy of "A Brief History of Time". After turning a few pages, he tilted his head and fell asleep again.
Xie Dingyuan took out a blanket from inside, covered her with it gently, then lay down on another chair next to her and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
In the quaint courtyard, the shade of the trees breaks up the sunlight, casting a mottled pattern on the ground.
Amid the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, a man and a woman are taking a nap.
Time seems to have stopped here, condensing this scene into a painting.
The years are quiet and the time is gentle.
…
When Jiang Fuyue woke up, the sun was setting.
The orange ball hung in the sky, getting heavier and lower.
She still remembered the day she was reborn. It was also a midsummer evening, and half of the sky was dyed orange by fiery clouds.
She was walking alone on the way home from school. Faced with an unfamiliar environment and a new identity, although she tried to remain calm, she couldn't help feeling confused.
But now, she has already adapted to the new life and found new goals.
Jiang Fuyue turned her head and looked at Xie Dingyuan who was sleeping peacefully beside her.
And I have someone to accompany me.
God arranged a death for her, but also gave her a new life.
"You're looking at me." The man woke up at some point and opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in his eyes, only a faint smile.
Jiang Fuyue did not avoid it, but looked even more justified.
"Yeah, won't you show it to me?"
"Give it to me! And it will be unconditional."
The two smiled at each other.
We had dinner at the hotel and ordered room service instead of going to the restaurant.
Jiang Fuyue heard the other end ask very considerately: "...Sir, do you need any wine?"
Xie Dingyuan was about to say no, but Jiang Fuyue suddenly spoke up -
"Red."
The other party paused for a moment and then agreed.
Xie Dingyuan: "You want to drink?"
Jiang Fuyue: "A little drink will soothe your mood."
Bang——
The goblets clinked gently, making a sound, and the red wine inside swayed in an elegant arc, just enough to wake up.
The two sat opposite each other, and a small floral tablecloth was spread on the long wooden Chinese table.
There are several blooming peonies in the decorative vase.
The pink and white outer petals and the thread-like inner layer shade the pale yellow center of the flower. The faint floral fragrance mixed with the slight intoxication of red wine creates just the right atmosphere.
Jiang Fuyue said in a teasing tone, "I salute my most capable assistant, both at work and in life."
Xie Dingyuan corrected: "It's my boyfriend."
"Okay, boyfriend!"
He then raised his glass with satisfaction, and when he tilted his head back, his Adam's apple was exposed, and it rolled slightly as he swallowed.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help licking her lips. Suddenly her mouth felt dry, so she took another sip.
"Slow down."
"……oh."
"When did you learn to drink?"
The girl blinked, her cheeks flushed slightly. "I knew it in my previous life."
Xie Dingyuan just thought she was talking drunkenly.
"What about you?" Jiang Fuyue asked, "When will it be?"
"cough!"
In fact, he has never been very good at...
After deciding to engage in scientific research, Xie Dingyuan paid special attention to his diet and daily routine, and almost stopped smoking and drinking.
There are only rare exceptions, but they are also very restrained.
"You don't have to drink too much." He took the decanter away and put the remaining half bottle of red wine on the shelf. "Just this little half glass."
The girl looked at him with sparkling peach blossom eyes. After hearing his words, she blinked and said obediently, "Okay."
Xie Dingyuan's heart softened.
She didn't want to drink more.
Alcohol can affect the brain nerves and cause slow thinking. A small drink is really just a small drink, only occasionally, not frequently.
On this point, the two have the same understanding and there is no contradiction.
only……
"Why is your face so red?" Jiang Fuyue looked at the man's cheeks covered with redness, which spread all the way to his ears.
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flickered slightly, not wanting to admit it: "...Really?"
"If you don't believe me, look." Jiang Fuyue pointed at the cabinet mirror opposite, which just happened to reflect him.
Unexpectedly, the man didn't even turn his head, and his eyes didn't go in that direction.
As long as I don’t look at it, I can deny it.
Jiang Fuyue reacted and laughed: "Hahahaha...Xie Dingyuan, your face will turn red when you drink."
The man's mouth twitched.
Is it weird to put on your face?!
Not surprising, but a grown man...
"It will make others think you are not manly enough, you know?"
"Does this 'others' include you?" He gritted his teeth, his tone cold.
Jiang Fuyue was just about to speak when the next second, she saw the man suddenly stand up, lean forward, stretch out his long arm, directly across the dining table, grab her neck with his big hand, and then gently pull her.
Jiang Fuyue's upper body inevitably leaned forward, their eyes met, their noses almost touching, and their breaths filled with the aroma of wine gradually intertwined.
"You..." She swallowed, "What are you doing?"
"Since it's hard to say, then let's not talk about it."
"?"
"I'll let you know whether I'm a man or not."
“???”
The next second, his lips pressed against mine.
Jiang Fuyue: “!”
This meal took nearly two hours.
The man was smiling and the woman's lips were rosy.
After dinner, the hotel staff came to clear the table and the two went out for a walk.
The hotel is built halfway up the mountain and covers a large area. In the landscape design, many artificial carvings are removed and the natural original ecology is retained. For example, most of the trees in the garden originally grew in this forest.
The night wind brought a hint of coolness. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was large. After a short while, Jiang Fuyue felt a little cold.
At this moment, a coat that still had body temperature was draped over her shoulders...
Three updates in total, six thousand words.
A relative visited me today and I have a stomachache, so there might be fewer chapters in the next chapter, but I’ll try to keep it around 6,000 words, just to give you a heads up.
