Cumberland didn't know how to describe his mood at the time, he just felt light under his feet, as if he was dreaming.
He actually pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming.
What came before excitement was confusion.
The result of three years of hard work, in such an unexpected situation when he was almost about to give up, he succeeded?
Cumberland realized belatedly that the young man he met in Banro's office was probably not an ordinary person.
He finally diverted his thoughts away from the experiment and thought about the talented researcher who had caused a stir in the institute some time ago.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and extremely popular...
Although the last one is debatable, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be referring to the person he met today.
Cumberland covered his face and sighed. He had originally wanted to take some time to get to know this new colleague, but he didn't expect that the first meeting would end so unpleasantly.
and……
His personality is completely different from what was rumored.
But people's tolerance for "genius" is always higher.
Not every genius is as normal as the founder of "The Source".
Since they were born, they have been walking alone on a path that ordinary people cannot understand. Before their talents bring them convenience, they always bring them pain. This is why most "geniuses" are difficult to get along with.
Cumberland knows all this because there is a research team within "Source" that is made up of these "geniuses".
Cumberland, who was once sent to do a project handover because he was too nice, simply didn't want to recall his dark experience at that time.
There is such a contrast.
This new genius just has an arrogant attitude and a sarcastic tone, which is really what he calls "easy to get along with".
But this kind of personality is far from being "popular", right?
Cumberland frowned as he recalled the day's conversation.
——Professor Cumberland is certainly not an ordinary person, as he can occupy an entire laboratory in the "Source" and keep a project that has not produced any results for three years running.
Perhaps because of the founder, the overall age of the members of "Source" is relatively young among many research institutions. Every researcher here is considered a genius in the eyes of ordinary people. Whether it is a natural photographic memory or a superhuman memory acquired through training, it is not uncommon in this institute, and Cumberland is naturally one of them.
At this time, he was thinking back, and he quickly recalled the experience during the day, and found the inconsistency -
It was the data sheet that the other party projected to him.
The above did correct the mistakes he made, but they were not the values that were changed in his second email. Instead, they were more like an estimated result.
Looking at Dr. Ban Luo who came back later, he was wearing formal clothes and obviously just came out of a conference venue.
Cumberland realized that perhaps the other party had not had time to read his second email, let alone forward it.
To estimate the original result from a pile of problematic data...both the amount of calculation and the workload are staggering.
Cumberland only thought about it from another perspective. What if someone really gave him this pile of problematic data, causing him to add a huge amount of meaningless work, and then after he had corrected the data with great difficulty, he would say lightly "there were errors and omissions".
Cumberland: “…”
This situation is suffocating just thinking about it.
If this really happens, his attitude will definitely not be better than that of the young man.
so……
It turns out that it’s still his problem.
As a well-known good guy in "Source", Cumberland easily convinced himself and even began to think about whether he should go over again to apologize in person.
This apology reached its peak when I heard that an experimental accident occurred in the laboratory next door, which almost caused casualties.
He didn't even dare to ask the reason carefully. What other reasons could there be? !
Cumberland was almost overwhelmed by his guilt.
- Oh my god, what the hell did he do?!
…
…………
That's why he was blocking Chu Lu today.
However, after Cumberland hurried over, he suddenly remembered that he had caused such a big accident, but the apology was just a simple verbal apology, which did not seem to be sincere at all.
However, after spending so much time in the laboratory, I couldn't think of a more sincere method.
Or can you let the other person beat you up to vent your anger?
In addition, his three years of research had suddenly become clear because of the other party's words, so he should thank the genius in front of him. According to the tradition of the Eastern Galaxy, should he treat him to a meal?
Let the other person beat you up first, and then treat him to a meal?
Cumberland's mind was spinning with these thoughts.
But just as he opened his mouth and had not yet had time to explain his purpose, he saw someone walking hurriedly towards him.
"Mr. Wei, today is the date for your brother to be injected with the stabilizer, and he is already in the preparation room."
Chu Lu still remembered the date and was not surprised by the visitor's notification. He nodded and said thank you.
Chu Lu was right at first, and the reason why "Yuan" recruited minors was indeed out of good intentions.
Children with signs of deterioration would not survive long on the abandoned planet, so treatment equipment was prepared directly for those children. After the treatment stabilized, most of them were sent away from the base and sent to appropriate welfare institutions.
Wei Ji's situation is rather special. The child's condition had deteriorated so severely that his genes were on the verge of collapse at any time. General welfare agencies could not afford his need for stabilizers, not to mention that if any other symptoms appeared, they would be helpless.
The child was temporarily kept in La Perri under the pretext of treatment.
Under the terms of the original agreement, a guardian would need to be present every time a minor received an injection.
Chu Lu set up a reminder, knowing that he should go to the medical department today. He had originally planned to take a look at the laboratory before leaving, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen and he was stopped by someone, which delayed him a little.
Cumberland didn't know all this, but when he saw the young man bowing his head to thank him, he couldn't help but say "as expected" in his heart.
The rumors were true, this was indeed a gentle, polite, and apparently very popular young man.
Yesterday's situation was indeed an exception, so it must be his problem.
(Chu Lu:???)
Chu Lu, who didn't know that a soft light filter was added to him, took a last look at the elevator and felt that it was too late to go to the laboratory first. He ignored the middle-aged researcher whose attitude suddenly became strange, turned around and went to the exit of the institute.
Cumberland watched the young man walk farther and farther away until he disappeared from his sight. However, he had a lot to say but couldn't organize his words.
Next time...
Or maybe he should have made a draft before coming.
Chu Lu didn't know that he would be chased and blocked by others in the next few days.
He was walking down the corridor of the medical department.
Wei Ji was waiting outside the injection room with a sour face. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and there was visible surprise on his face.
The boy blurted out, "Why are you here at this time?"
Chu Lu came earlier than usual.
He had always respected the clause that minors could only be injected with drugs when accompanied by their guardians. But every time he appeared outside after Wei Ji entered the injection room, and when the last drop of the drug was injected, he turned around and left, which was very cold.
However, both the treatment department and the research department have different opinions on this.
Researcher Wei/Mr. Wei is so busy, but he always shows up outside the injection room on time. He is really a good brother who cares about his younger brother.
That’s what they thought and that’s what they said to this lovely little brother.
Chu Lu continued to maintain the cold and ruthless attitude of "Master Luther", completely unaware that in these people's minds, he has become a touching good brother.
As for Wei Ji, although he was comforted, the fact that he had not communicated with Chu Lu since arriving in La Perri still made Wei Ji feel a little uncomfortable.
——Only a little bit.
After all, he is not a child who cannot live without his parents for a moment!
However, when he saw the young man who came earlier, the boy tried hard to control his expression so as not to appear too surprised, but the corners of his lips still couldn't help but curl up.
"I'm a little free today." Chu Lu answered casually.
It had been a long time since he had looked at the child face to face. He looked at him for a few seconds and came to a conclusion.
——got fat.
It seems that the treatment here is good.
…
After a brief question and answer, silence fell outside the treatment room.
Wei Ji actually had a lot to say, such as asking him what he was busy with, explaining his schedule for the past few days, or talking about the differences between this new residence and the previous one...
But he remained silent in the end.
Just like before when they were on the abandoned planet and each of them had a room.
This thought made the boy a little dazed again.
Chu Lu couldn't have arrived much earlier.
But in just a moment, before the silence around him could turn into awkwardness, the door of the injection room opened and a brown-haired man walked out.
The man exchanged a kiss with the medical lady in the injection room at the door as if no one was around, and it wasn't just a farewell.
Chu Lu: "..."
He checked his position.
——Very good, it just blocks the baby’s view.
The man had finished his "goodbye" and turned around to walk out, and saw Chu Lu outside at a glance.
He looked at Chu Lu's face, his eyes fixed on it, and he seemed to be stunned on the spot.
Until the little boy realized something was wrong and came around from behind Chu Lu, staring at the man warily.
The man came back to his senses, but ignored the little boy. Instead, his eyes were still on Chu Lu, and he asked with a smile, "Newcomer?"
He unconsciously licked the wet marks on his lips. The unconcealed aggressive aura and the oppressive feeling brought by the height made Master Luther frown uncomfortably.
Wei Ji's eyes had turned vicious.
He stared at the man in front of him, as if he was about to pounce on him.
The man didn't care. He looked at Chu Lu and then at Wei Ji, with a look of realization on his face, "He is your guardian, right?"
This statement is a bit strange.
The medical department's registration information showed that the two were brothers with the same last name. Although they did not look alike, there were many brothers who did not look alike, so there was no doubt about it. Everyone called Wei Ji "your brother". The boy did not refute it because of some subtle emotion.
But now this person chose the more distant and unfamiliar title of "guardian".
Chu Lu was still frowning, guessing the identity of the person in front of him, but the previous words seemed to have touched a nerve in Wei Ji. He opened his mouth, revealing slightly sharp teeth, bent his elbows forward, and made an actual attacking gesture.
Chu Lu hurriedly tried to stop him.
With this kid's ability, he's not even able to serve food to the person in front of him!
But it was very obvious that with Master Luther's poor physical fitness, his reaction speed was not even as fast as Wei Ji, let alone another person.
Before Chu Lu could make any move, another big hand pressed on the little black head and rubbed it, turning Wei Ji's originally limp black hair into a mess of straw. He laughed as he rubbed it, "Hahahaha, you brat, do you want to break another tooth?"
The tense atmosphere just now disappeared.
Chu Lu: "..."
Although I don't know what happened between the big and the small, but...
The man didn't seem hostile.
