Chu Yan walked silently behind his sister and patted her shoulder.
This simple action can become a connection between two people and bring warmth.
Wen Mo's eyebrows softened slightly, no longer like a hedgehog with spines standing up all over its body as before.
Chu Yan asked her, "So...what happened?"
Wen Mo closed his eyes, somewhat unwilling to recall his stupid experience.
After a while, her slightly hoarse voice sounded:
"My paper was plagiarized."
Chu Yan's face suddenly darkened, like a winter scene with a howling cold wind.
"Who? When did it happen? Which magazine was it published in?"
Wen Mo only replied:
"My senior at Hopkins."
Chu Yan started to walk out.
Wen Mo grabbed him in time:
"Wait! Bro! Where are you going?"
Chu Yan pursed his lips tightly, a storm brewing and raging in his eyes.
At this moment, he seemed even angrier than Wen Mo!
Perhaps because someone helped him vent his emotions, Wen Mo felt relieved.
She shrugged, raised her eyebrows and smiled:
"My paper was plagiarized. Why do you look more anxious than me?"
Chu Yan looked at her deeply:
"We are a family, and you are my sister."
Wen Mo's mind moved.
After a pause, Chu Yan continued:
"And I know you would never show your thesis materials to anyone else unless you had 100% trust in them. This person betrayed your trust, and he deserves to die."
The last three words were spoken so coldly, as if he was going to rush to the other side of the ocean and cut into pieces the person who dared to plagiarize his sister's thesis!
Wen Mo was stunned, a wry smile appeared on his lips:
"I don't know people well."
Chu Yan's emotions were quite intense:
"That person betrayed you, what does it have to do with you?"
Wen Mo lowered his head and said nothing.
Chu Yan had to calm down:
"Sometimes you're just too proud."
Wen Mo disagreed:
"That's because I can't control the badness of others, but I can control my clear mind."
Chu Yan sighed:
"Can everything in the world develop in the direction you control?"
Wen Mo was struck by these words and was speechless for a long time.
She really thought so before.
There are many peaks in science that cannot be conquered, but it doesn’t matter, she will be able to reach and conquer them in her lifetime.
She tried to maintain clear control over everything in her life, both emotionally and physically.
She thought she was successful enough.
But today, Wen Mo finds that many things do not go according to his ideas.
"Maybe... you're right."
After saying this, Wen Mo seemed to have taken off the shackles on his body, and his whole body suddenly felt lighter.
She thought of the senior who betrayed her, Chen Zhisong.
The last time she returned to school, the two of them were sitting on a bench under the sycamore tree on campus, chatting and laughing.
Chen Zhisong said that his paper was rejected, and he was full of frustration and annoyance. At the same time, he was comforting her because of her family affairs, and he sincerely cared about and considered her.
Now she also believes that Chen Zhisong's concern at that time was heartfelt, but human nature cannot stand the test. After all, Chen Zhisong is just a mortal.
Back then, the two of them studied in the same school in China. Chen Zhisong was a few years older than her. He was a young man full of vigor and thought he could do anything.
When he was giving a speech on the stage, his facial features were not particularly handsome, but because of his unyielding temperament, he became brilliant and dazzling. He was a celebrity in the hearts of boys and girls in the school, and was a genius destined to be a big shot in the future.
Later, she and he gradually became familiar with each other and became close. One time, the two of them sat on the rooftop, drinking beer, enjoying the breeze, and imagining the future and ideals.
Chen Zhisong mentioned that he came from a poor family and his father died of cancer, so his dream was to conquer cancer, to fight for a glimmer of hope for cancer patients like his father, and to fight for the health of all mankind.
When he spoke, his eyes radiated a warm light because of his ideals, making him look like an innocent idealist, yet making people yearn for him.
At that time, the only idea in her mind was to inherit the ancestral prescriptions left by her mother, combine them with modern science, and research the most suitable medicine for the current patient's condition.
Naturally, she would admire idealists like Chen Zhisong.
Later, the two happened to go abroad together, and she saw with her own eyes that the naive and simple Chen Zhisong was beaten badly by reality but remained true to his original intention.
He was discriminated against by his foreign classmates and fought for the honor of his country. Even after being beaten black and blue, he still told her with a smile: "One day I will make the whole world use Chinese-made medicines!"
Since when did he change?
Wen Mo didn't know.
I don't want to go into it too deeply.
She just saw that a shining young man who once fought for his ideals had died.
"That's it."
Wen Mo sighed deeply, with a strong sense of helplessness.
Chu Yan felt something was wrong:
"Do you like that person?"
Wen Mo instantly exploded:
"How is that possible!"
She had admired and appreciated Chen Zhisong, but it was impossible for her to like him!
Chu Yan obviously didn't believe it, and there was obvious suspicion in his eyes.
Wen Mo became even more angry:
"I told you I didn't!"
Chu Yan calmed down, temporarily suppressed his hostility towards the bastard who coveted his sister, and said softly:
"Okay, I know there isn't one."
It seems that I like it a little but I haven't discovered it.
How smart is Wen Mo?
Moreover, he and Chu Yan are born of the same mother. They have been connected by blood and mind since their mother's womb. How could he not understand Chu Yan's subtext?
Wen Mo gritted his teeth:
"Do you really think I'm some idiot who can't even tell my own thoughts?"
Chu Yan's temper was very good at comforting:
"It doesn't matter. We never asked you to be perfect."
Wen Mo slapped Chu Yan's hand away when she was about to pat her head, and her eyes almost rolled to the sky!
Chu Yan saw that she seemed to be sincere in what she said, and couldn't help but feel confused:
"Then why did you say 'let it be'? Wasn't it because you were so overwhelmed with love that you were ready to let him go?"
Wen Mo sneered disdainfully:
"How is that possible! I'll make that bastard give me back all the honors that don't belong to him! He took advantage of me and still wants to get away with it? Haha, I want him to remember this pain for the rest of his life!"
Wen Mocai is not a kind-hearted Bodhisattva.
She is a petty person who will never let go of any grievance. If she is wronged, she will repay tenfold!
Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's good that you don't have a love-brain problem. Otherwise, I'm going to take you to see a psychiatrist after this."
Wen Mo didn't want to talk to Chu Yan.
She was thinking about how to solve the problem of plagiarism in her thesis.
Chen Zhisong plagiarized very skillfully, and only stole her thesis ideas and laboratory data.
Coincidentally, Chen Zhisong had helped her organize the information and had taken action twice, so there was sufficient timeline as evidence.
