She is willing
After returning to the villa and resting for a night, the day before returning, Xu Honghan drove Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Qingbo to K City.
"I still have to take you out to play. Otherwise, it would be such a shame to come to City X after all the hard work and not go anywhere."
Jiang Zhizhi felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
She stayed in the hospital for nine days, and during that time, no one else went out to play.
"It's okay, you didn't mean it." Xu Qingbo comforted her, "I also had a friend who came to K City for a trip with his parents. As soon as he arrived, he had altitude sickness and stayed in the hospital until the end of the trip. At least we still had a few days to play."
"Yes, your current condition is still unclear. The most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude." A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the passenger seat handed her an electronic thermometer. "Here, take your temperature again."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the man helplessly, but still took the thermometer.
Although she was discharged from the hospital, this doctor was like a sticky candy and could not be shaken off.
"Doctor Shen, Zhizhi looks normal. We're going out together today, so please don't spoil the fun, right?" Xu Honghan said with a helpless smile.
Shen Li refused with a stern face, "That won't do. A doctor's job is to be absolutely rigorous. This is to be responsible for the patient's life."
"I think you're treating Zhizhi as a guinea pig." Xu Honghan complained.
"The thermometer in the hospital has been checked repeatedly and there is no problem. As a doctor, how could I ignore a patient whose temperature has soared to 50 degrees? If you were me, could you resist not investigating in depth?" Shen Li said as he looked at Jiang Zhizhi with suspicion.
Jiang Zhizhi avoided his sight guiltily and looked out the window.
"Zhizhi, when I come back tonight, can you let me collect some more of your genetic samples..."
"Shen Li, you're going too far." Xu Honghan interrupted Shen Li, seeming to be really angry, "Zhizhi had a comprehensive examination when she was in the hospital. She is fine now. It was just an accident."
But Shen Li remained unmoved. "50 degrees Celsius can kill cancer cells, do you understand? If we can figure out how she survived a 50-degree body temperature, perhaps we can find a cure for cancer, and there will be a major breakthrough in human gene editing research. Just like your obsession with physics, I won't give in on this matter. And... you should thank me. If I hadn't silenced those people in the hospital, the media in K City would have definitely reported this incident extensively. Jiang Zhizhi might have been arrested and used as a guinea pig by now."
The speaker may not intend it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Jiang Zhizhi asked, “Doctor Shen, are you doing research on cancer?”
"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.
“Doctor Shen, I am willing to cooperate with you, whether it is blood drawing or genetic sampling, as long as it is helpful to your research, I am willing to do it.”
Although she has a special medicine, there is only one and it can only save one person.
If the system's influence makes her body different from that of an ordinary person, and Shen Li can use this to find a cure for cancer, then no matter how much energy she has to put into it, it will be worth it.
"Really?" Shen Li didn't expect Jiang Zhizhi to say such a thing, and looked a little surprised.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhizhi nodded and looked at him firmly.
"No!" Xu Honghan quickly helped Jiang Zhizhi refuse. "Zhizhi, you don't understand him. He's a pervert. He'll do anything for his research. You'll be killed by him."
"How is that possible? Don't slander me!" Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi had agreed, Shen Li couldn't let Xu Honghan ruin it. "Zhizhi is the elder's precious student. How could I possibly hurt her?"
Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment and said, “As long as Dr. Shen’s research has no impact on my health, I will fully cooperate.”
In her previous life, she was a cancer patient and her mother Cheng Yuping also died of cancer. In this life, Zong Lao’s daughter Zong Yun also died of cancer.
She understood too well how cancer, the king of all diseases, could destroy families.
In fact, after the system evolved, she has been thinking about her future direction these days.
Of course, she had to go down the path of physics, but recently she had read a lot of books about cancer and was a little hesitant about the direction of biomedicine.
Besides, she still has that pill.
Mom doesn't have cancer. She can use the medicine for research. As long as the ingredients in the medicine can be found, it may benefit all patients suffering from cancer and their families.
"Doctor Shen, can I add your contact information?" Jiang Zhizhi took out her cell phone and asked.
Shen Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "Of course."
As if afraid that Jiang Zhizhi would go back on her word, he took Jiang Zhizhi's cell phone and entered his phone number. After dialing the number, he quickly saved Jiang Zhizhi's number on his own cell phone.
“Zhizhi…” Xu Honghan was helpless, but seeing that she took the initiative, he could only threaten Shen Li: “Shen Li, if I find out what dangerous experiments you let Zhizhi do, I will never let you go.”

On the return trip, only Xu Honghan sent Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye back.
It seems that because of some accidents in the laboratory, Elder Zong continued to stay in the base.
Xu Honghan specially arranged for the plane to take off when the sun was setting over K City. The golden-red sunset dyed the clouds like a sea of blood, which was particularly spectacular.
Xu Qingbo kept taking pictures with his camera until the sun had completely set, and then he reluctantly put the camera away.
When we arrived in Nanshi, it was already past midnight.
"Your family should be asleep by now. Stay at my apartment for the night and come home early tomorrow morning."
Xu Honghan's apartment is located in Xiyuan District of Nanshi, adjacent to Shangyuan of Dongxin District. It is an extremely prosperous central area of Nanshi.
The apartment is luxurious, with two floors covering an area of more than 200 square meters. It has an open kitchen and a lofted living and dining room. The moment you open the door, you can see a very wide view.
"You must be hungry. I'll make some midnight snacks. You guys can take a rest and go to bed after dinner."
Xu Honghan said this, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen.
Jiang Zhizhi sat on the sofa and took a rest while looking at the design of the house. Even according to the interior layout and decoration style of her previous life, Xu Honghan's home was not outdated at all. It was trendy, simple and elegant.
The whole house is very clean. It seems that even when Xu Honghan is not at home, the housekeeper will come to clean it regularly.
There seems to be a separate reception room on the right side of the living room, but there is no door to the room. The entrance is a square doorway, through which you can see the walnut-colored wall-to-wall bookshelves.
Behind the sofa is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the windows is a large terrace of about 60 to 70 square meters.
Although it was night, Jiang Zhizhi seemed to be able to feel the abundant sunlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows during the day.
In the kitchen, Xu Honghan was frying eggs in a pancake maker. Under the dim spotlight, his expression looked warm and gentle.
After about ten minutes, he placed three plates on the kitchen counter and placed a freshly made sandwich on each plate.
"Don't be disgusted, at this time we can only eat fast food."
Xu Qingbo complained in Jiang Zhizhi's ear: "Be prepared, my uncle is best at making food that looks good but tastes terrible."
"You little bastard, if you have the guts, don't eat it!" Xu Honghan was furious.
Xu Qingbo didn't take it seriously. He took a bite of the sandwich, smacked his lips for a moment, and said, "It's actually okay this time."
Jiang Zhizhi was indeed a little hungry, so she took a bite. The freshly baked sandwich was soft and fluffy, with crisp lettuce and fried eggs. Although it was not delicious, it tasted very satisfying.
"It's delicious, senior brother." Her mouth was bulging with food, like a little squirrel, and she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Looking at Jiang Zhizhi's expression, Xu Honghan felt like something melted in his heart. For the first time, he felt such a strong sense of satisfaction after cooking.
"Look at how good the junior sister is at speaking, and then look at you!" Xu Honghan was so angry that he slapped the back of Xu Qingbo's head.
After the two kids finished their meal, they went upstairs to wash up and rest.
Xu Qingbo still slept in his old room, and Jiang Zhizhi lived next door to him.
Xu Honghan sat there, holding his chin and savoring the sandwich he had just made.
Well... it's really nice to have a little junior sister.
He sighed in his heart.

At six o'clock the next morning, Jiang Zhizhi woke up as usual.
But Xu Honghan and Xu Qingbo have not made any move yet.
After washing up, she went downstairs and checked the ingredients in the kitchen.
By the time Xu Qingbo came out of the room, Jiang Zhizhi had already prepared breakfast.
"So early?" Xu Qingbo stood at the railing on the second floor and looked down, unable to help but yawning.
He went to bed too late yesterday and didn't get enough sleep.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhizhi got up earlier than him.
"What time did you get up?" he asked curiously.
It was the first time that Jiang Zhizhi saw Xu Qingbo looking sleepy in the morning. Compared with his usual clean and refreshing appearance, there was an inexplicable cute contrast.
She smiled and said, "Six o'clock."
"You only slept for less than five hours." Xu Qingbo looked at her with admiration and went to the bathroom to wash up in a daze.
Ten minutes later, he came down from upstairs.
"Where's your uncle?"
"Don't worry about him. He's a sleepyhead when he's free." Xu Qingbo checked his watch and said leisurely, "I estimate he won't be up until at least nine o'clock."
"Should we still wait for him?"
"No need, just leave him a message after dinner and we can just leave."
"Isn't this bad?"
"It's okay, he won't mind."
Since Xu Qingbo said so, Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to warm up Xu Honghan's breakfast.
After they finished their meal, they cleaned the kitchen, left a note for Xu Honghan, and left together.
Three hours after Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Qingbo left, when the sun was already high in the sky, Xu Honghan lazily got up from the bed.
When I walked out of the room, there was no sound outside.
"Are you gone?"
Xu Honghan subconsciously took out his cell phone and wanted to call Xu Qingbo, but saw the message from Jiang Zhizhi.
[Brother, Xu Qingbo and I are back home. I'm warming up breakfast for you in the kitchen.]
Xu Honghan walked downstairs in his pajamas and saw a plate of shrimp cakes warming in the pot and a bowl of egg custard that looked soft and delicious.
A sudden warmth welled up in his heart.
Xu Honghan silently opened the lid of the pot, picked up the shrimp cake and took a bite.
"tasty."
