Chapter 825: Flirting with Lao Xie, the awards ceremony begins (two chapters in one)
On September 21, Jiang Fuyue boarded a flight to NY, Country M, accompanied by Xie Dingyuan.
Attend the Lasker Awards Ceremony.
"Would you like some water?" Xie Dingyuan asked.
Jiang Fuyue shook her head and couldn't help yawning: "I'm not thirsty, I'll take a nap first."
"Okay." Xie Dingyuan took out a blanket and made it flat for her. "Go to sleep."
Jiang Fuyue gave him a funny look: "So considerate and thoughtful? Even more virtuous than a young wife."
Xie Dingyuan was helpless: "Of course I must keep my promise to the old man, otherwise I am afraid that I will be punished when I return to China."
Originally, Han Qishan planned to let Han Shen or Han Ke accompany Jiang Fuyue.
For this, the two of them even fought over—
Han Shen: "I have the time and energy, and I happen to have connections there, so of course it's more appropriate for me to accompany Yueyue."
Han Ke: "Brother has to manage the company, so it's inconvenient for him to leave for too long. I'm different. I have a lot of free time. After accompanying Yueyue to receive the award, I can still play in NY for a few days, just like a vacation."
Han Shen: "I'll go."
Han Ke: "I'll go."
Han Shen: "The second child is not careful enough and can't take care of Yueyue."
Han Ke: "Brother has documents and a computer with him, and he has to take care of business on the way, so it's even harder for him to take care of it."
Han Shen: "Dad, please make a decision. Who should we let go?"
Han Ke: "You can't be partial. When we were little, you liked the eldest brother and the third brother the most. I was stuck in the middle, a pitiful and invisible little one..."
Old man: “…”
At this moment, Xie Dingyuan jumped out: "I'll go with Yueyue."
That was the first time he visited the Han family after the two officially announced their relationship.
The air was quiet for two seconds, and the four great warriors of the Han family exchanged glances quickly. Han Shen and Han Ke, who were originally arguing about who would accompany Jiang Fuyue to NY, also turned their guns around and faced the outside world in unison.
"no!"
"How can that be possible?"
“Not suitable!”
The three uncles all disagreed, and even Xiao Mang couldn't help but bark twice.
But the old man didn't express his opinion.
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flashed, and he felt that there was a chance!
I immediately made a promise: "I will be considerate and attentive throughout the whole process."
Han Qishan didn't say anything.
He thought for a moment and coughed lightly: "...Let's go to the hotel and get two rooms."
The old man finally said, "Okay, then you go with Yueyue."
Han Shen: "No... Dad, how could you..."
Han Ke also chased after him: "That doesn't make sense..."
The voices of the three men gradually faded away.
Only Han Heng was still standing there, raising his eyelids and looking at Xie Dingyuan——
"Boy, you can do it."
Knowing what the old man was worried about, I took the initiative to express my opinion.
Netizens say he has low emotional intelligence?
Is there any misunderstanding about "low emotional intelligence"?
Han Heng cleared his throat: "Remember, two rooms."
After saying that, he patted Xiao Mang's head and said, "Let's go."
Just like that, it was finalized that Xie Dingyuan would accompany her to the award ceremony.
Jiang Fuyue: "Are you just going to listen to the old man?"
Xie Dingyuan nodded: "Of course, he will be my grandfather in the future."
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
"I won't talk to you anymore," she pulled up the blanket, turned over, and turned her back to the man, "I'm so sleepy..."
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flashed with a smile: "You...are you not shy anymore?"
Jiang Fuyue ignored him and didn't move at all, as if she was asleep.
He touched his nose and muttered softly: "I'm not wrong..."
He is indeed the future grandfather!
Jiang Fuyue: I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you…
At the same time, a question flashed through my mind: When did this dog man become so skilled?
No wonder my uncle said he was good.
…
The plane moved forward steadily.
Jiang Fuyue didn't know when she fell asleep and woke up two hours later.
When I turned around, Xie Dingyuan was not there.
Just as I was about to ask the flight attendant to help me pour a cup of hot water, I saw Xie Dingyuan surrounded by several beautiful flight attendants in the service cabin and was saying something.
Because his back was facing away, Jiang Fuyue couldn't see the expression on his face.
However, several flight attendants looked surprised and excited.
"Really? That's great!"
"Thank you, Professor. Thank you!"
"It has to be...eh? Sister Yue is awake?"
Xie Dingyuan turned around and met Jiang Fuyue's half-smiley gaze, then quickly returned to his seat: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"fine."
"Is it because chatting with beautiful women is particularly refreshing?"
That's what I said...
The man smacked his lips for a moment, a little surprised: "Yueyue, are you jealous?"
Jiang Fuyue: I am not, I didn’t, I refuse!
Xie Dingyuan had a look that said, "Just admit it, I've seen through everything."
At this time, the group of beautiful stewardesses came over, with hesitant expressions and eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
Xie Dingyuan: "Now that she's awake, you should talk to her yourself."
Jiang Fuyue looked puzzled.
The stewardess in a purser's uniform smiled and spoke. Although she tried to remain calm, her excitement was hard to conceal: "Sister Yue! I'm your fan!"
Other flight attendants: “Us too!”
"Can you sign an autograph for us?"
After Jiang Fuyue nodded, she was immediately surrounded by beautiful young ladies.
Fortunately, there were only two passengers in the entire business class, her and Xie Dingyuan, so they didn't disturb others.
They signed autographs one by one and took photos together, Jiang Fuyue cooperated with a smile throughout the whole process.
one two three--
Snap!
Finally, the young ladies returned to their posts contentedly and continued working.
Be as professional as you can.
But when the curtain was lowered, the scene in the cabin was like this—
"Oh! Sister Yue's autograph, I want to take it back and keep it as a treasure!"
"So Sister Yue is so beautiful in person. She can easily outshine all of us without makeup, okay?!"
"Professor Xie is so thoughtful. I saw him covering Sister Yue with a blanket and adjusting the air-conditioning vents."
"And after knowing that we wanted to ask Sister Yue for an autograph, in order not to disturb her rest, she took the initiative to come over and explain that we should wait until she woke up."
"Oh my god! Is this really the Professor Xie who's rumored to be aloof from women, uninterested in love, and so close to where not even a female mosquito can get close?"
"How can they be the same? How can my sister Yue be compared with a female mosquito? Da me!"
"Who said the professor doesn't know how to love? Come out and I promise I won't beat him to death."
“It’s worth the trip!”
“It’s so sweet!”
"I'm going to treasure this photo as a family heirloom for the rest of my life, woo woo..."
…
At 11:00 am local time in NY, the flight landed smoothly.
Two hours later, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan checked into the Pierre Hotel on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The awards ceremony will be held here tomorrow.
The organizers reserved a room for the two of them, on the best floor with the best view.
Jiang Fuyue looked at the other room card in Xie Dingyuan's hand, puzzled: "How come you have one too?"
Accompanying personnel need to arrange their own food and accommodation, and the organizers have specifically informed us of this by phone before departure.
Therefore, Xie Dingyuan should book his own room.
The man hesitated for a moment: "Maybe... I'm special?"
Jiang Fuyue: "What's so special about it?"
"He's handsome, right?"
“…”
The two rooms are next to each other.
After everyone put their luggage away, Jiang Fuyue took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went next door to find Xie Dingyuan.
The man had just finished washing and his hair was still wet.
Jiang Fuyue walked around him and swaggered into the room. He looked around first, then walked to the French window, "Why do I feel like your room has a better view?"
"Is there?" Xie Dingyuan looked puzzled. He walked over and looked out the window with her. "On the same floor, two rooms next to each other, so they should be about the same, right?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head and said firmly: "It's different."
"so?"
She raised the corner of her eye and suddenly leaned closer, and the rich citrus scent came to her face, mixed with a hint of shower gel.
When the man was distracted, he saw the girl's red lips parted slightly, and she spoke in a sweet voice: "How about I move in with you?"
Just a few words were like putting a small hook in the man's heart.
"What did you say?" Xie Dingyuan's eyes were blank and his voice was hesitant.
"I said," Jiang Fuyue said, emphasizing each word, "I'll move in and live in the same room with you."
"No!" The man suddenly stepped back and swallowed hard.
"Why not?" She took a step forward, staring at him with her beautiful peach blossom eyes, charming and seductive.
Xie Dingyuan turned his head away and said, "I promised the old man... to get two rooms."
Although you can't see it, the fragrance lingers.
The man's heart was beating like thunder, thump thump, as if a deer was running around.
Jiang Fuyue said, "We booked two rooms. You didn't break your promise."
Opening two rooms does not mean you have to live in two rooms.
Xie Dingyuan's Adam's apple rolled slightly: "...it still doesn't work."
"What? You don't want me to live with you? Am I not fragrant enough, or am I not soft enough? Hmm?"
With every question, Jiang Fuyue moved closer, and the fragrance became stronger.
The last "hmm" has an upward pitch, charming without being aware of it.
"Speak."
Xie Dingyuan: "...I don't know what to say."
"Say you want me to stay and live with you."
The man's cheeks were stiff and he didn't say a word.
Jiang Fuyue had no intention of letting him go. She got closer and closer, and it seemed that the two of them were already touching each other.
She could feel the man's hot breath and the ups and downs of his chest.
Not so indifferent...
Why won’t you let go?
"Xie Dingyuan, turn your head and look at me." It was almost an order.
The man's neck was stiff and he didn't move.
Jiang Fuyue simply reached out, grabbed his jaw, and forced the man's face over.
Their eyes met, she smiled charmingly, but he avoided her.
It seemed that if you were a second late, you would be devoured by the man-eating monster.
"Xie Dingyuan, you really look like a young wife like this, then what am I? A big gangster? An old bully?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Fuyue made herself laugh.
Her face was as beautiful as a lotus and her cheeks were as pretty as a flower. In an instant, she exuded all the charm of spring. Even if he tried to avoid her, he would still be captivated by her beauty.
Taking advantage of the man's distraction, Jiang Fuyue simply put her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and then tilted her head back to kiss him.
This kiss was completely dominated by Jiang Fuyue.
Xie Dingyuan accepted it passively.
She was like a patient old hunter, dealing with her prey with ease.
I laid the bait, hooked him, but didn’t give it to him completely.
Hanging it in the air, luring it with the intention of retreating to advance.
The man didn't react for a moment and let her lead him by the nose.
After it was over, Jiang Fuyue smacked his lips like a playboy: "Let's see how you can hide now."
Xie Dingyuan's cheeks turned red and his expression was dazed.
"Are you stupid because of the kiss?" Jiang Fuyue stretched out her index finger and touched the bridge of his nose.
Light and soft, like a feather brushing past.
The man's whole body was stiff and trembling as if he had been electrocuted.
She smiled and asked him, "Do you agree to let me move in now?"
Xie Dingyuan was completely speechless.
"Okay, if you don't agree then I'll keep kissing you!"
The man was so frightened that he shuddered and suddenly came to his senses, "No - um!" The word "OK" was blocked before he could say it, and disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two people.
I told you to keep kissing, why doesn't this person believe me?
Xie Dingyuan's mind went blank, as if he had fallen into an endless dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Fuyue finally stepped back, glaring at him with her peach blossom eyes, and asked, "What now?"
Xie Dingyuan took the opportunity to break free, as if he was avoiding something.
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
"No, we can live in the same room. I promised the old man." He kept repeating the same sentence over and over again.
"They don't know anyway, I promise no one will tell..."
The man still shook his head, his stubbornness endearing. “It’s not a question of whether to say it or not. It’s about doing what you promised.”
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and stepped closer: "Do you dislike me so much?"
"Of course not!" He was so fond of it that how could he possibly dislike it?
"Then why don't you let me live here?"
"...I'm afraid I can't help it." He didn't dare to look at Jiang Fuyue, and his voice was very low.
The girl's smile widened, and she took two steps forward and put her arms around his neck.
Because the impact was too strong, Xie Dingyuan lost his balance and took two steps back, falling backwards on the bed.
Jiang Fuyue also fell down, but in a prone position, she hit the man's chest.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stop.
The ambiguity fermented inadvertently, emitting a few sticky sweet fragrances.
Jiang Fuyue lowered her head and leaned close to his ear: "Then you can't bear it."
It is a tease, an instigation, and even a fatal temptation.
Xie Dingyuan's breathing changed several times, from rapid to forced calm, then to difficult to control himself, and finally returned to calm.
I'm afraid no one knows what kind of inner struggle and torment he went through during this period except himself.
"You..." His Adam's apple rolled slightly, his voice hoarse, "Get up first."
"In no mood."
"Yueyue..." He forced himself to endure it, but he was helpless.
"You have to agree to let me live with you first."
The man smiled bitterly: "You know I won't."
"I have no idea!"
"Yueyue..."
Every time he called her in this tone, Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.
"Fool!"
In the end, she still couldn't convince this piece of wood, so she could only resign herself to her fate and get up and tidy her hair.
Xie Dingyuan also sat up and straightened her collar and cuffs.
"Stop making a fuss for a while. There's an awards ceremony tomorrow. Keep your energy up and make sure you wow everyone."
"I don't need to amaze everyone. It's enough for me to amaze you."
“Beautiful people and things cannot be owned by oneself; they must be shared and appreciated, only then can this beauty become more meaningful.”
"Really?" Jiang Fuyue turned around and kissed him: "We have to share this too?"
The man's face darkened. "That's not necessary."
"What about sharing and enjoying together?"
"Ahem..." He pretended to be stupid and looked up at the ceiling. If you didn't know, you would think there were flowers growing on it.
Xie Dingyuan stood up and walked her to the door.
Jiang Fuyue clung to the door frame and asked one last time, "You really don't want to live together?"
He shook his head in refusal.
The two of them hesitated for a while, but in the end, Jiang Fuyue still failed.
No matter how you kiss him, Xie Dingyuan won't let go.
That's a strict defense!
"Forget it," Jiang Fuyue said with a gloomy face, "As if I'm so precious... Let's go back to the room."
Little did she know that the moment she turned around, the man smacked his lips and a hint of regret flashed across his eyes.
Why did you give up?
Hold on a little longer...
On September 23, the Lasker Award Ceremony officially began.
150 guests were invited to attend the ceremony, including more than 40 Nobel Prize winners and Lasker Award winners, as well as renowned experts and scholars in the international medical community.
This year's recipient of the Clinical Medicine Award is Dr. John Baird Glen, a retired professor from the multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, in recognition of his achievements in genetics and anesthetic drug development.
The Public Service Award was given to Doctors Without Borders.
Special Contribution Awards were presented to five researchers from Rockefeller University for their teams' significant achievements in cellular systems for repairing misfolded proteins, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, and breast cancer genetics.
Except for the large group "Doctors Without Borders" mentioned above, the other winners are all from the United States!
Originally, the Lasker Award was a medical award from the United States. Judging from the results of previous years, it is obviously more inclined to be awarded to people from the United States.
This is also an important reason why few people in China can win this award.
But then, the routine is destined to be broken——
When the three Chinese characters "Jiang Fuyue" appeared on the screen, they were followed by "Qiming University" in brackets, and behind her was a bright Chinese national flag.
"Congratulations to Jiang Fuyue from China—"
