Qin Nian was a little uneasy.
"What's the matter? You're just starting out, so if it's not something particularly important, put it aside for now."
"I need to call my kids at home."
The professor remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"You have two hours. This is the last time. It's my rule that once you join my research group, you must cut off all contact with the outside world. If you can't do that, then you'd better leave now."
Qin Nian paused for a moment, then nodded.
Yang Yufen and her child waited early. The phone rang, and Professor Wen answered it.
Is it Nian Nian?
"Yes, it's me, Madam."
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
"Da Bao, Er Bao".
Qin Nian's voice came over, and then she heard the two children chattering about how much they missed each other.
"Dabao and Erbao, can Grandma answer the phone? Mommy has something to tell Grandma."
Qin Nian glanced at the time; the people behind her were already urging her on.
"Grandma, Mom wants to talk to you."
Da Bao and Er Bao, make way for each other.
"Niannian, Mom is here, what do you want to say?"
"Mom, I've joined the experimental group. I can't contact the outside world until the experiment is over. It might be a long time before I can call you and the kids."
Yang Yufen was taken aback upon hearing this.
"It's alright, it's alright. Xianjun will be back soon. Take good care of yourself while you're away. The kids have grown taller and fatter, so don't worry."
"Mom, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Nian held back her tears, but the voices urging her from behind grew increasingly urgent, so she had no choice but to hang up the phone. She didn't dare linger and sped off back home.
Da Bao and Er Bao looked up at Yang Yu Fen.
"Your mom is amazing. She has to go on a secret mission, so she can't call you. But your dad will be back soon. He'll take you out to play later. Your brother Wang Xing is waiting for you. Let's go back quickly."
Yang Yufen comforted the child.
Professor Chaowen only inquired after sending the child away, expressing his concern.
Is Niannian's situation normal?
“Niannian is intelligent, so it’s not surprising that she was selected to join the research group. There are indeed such rules. It’s just that I didn’t expect Niannian to be able to join the research group after only two months. That’s really not an easy thing.”
Professor Wen was also worried, but he still comforted Yang Yufen.
"I'll have Lao Hu use his connections to ask around later."
"good."
Yang Yufen nodded.
Qin Nian rushed back to the research lab, checked the time, and saw there were still ten minutes left.
"Now that you're out here, don't keep thinking about romance. There are important national and family matters waiting for you. Study hard. You only have less than two years left. You should know how urgent that is. Review these data tonight."
The thick stack of data fell into Qin Nian's hands. She took it with both hands and, not daring to delay for even a moment, lit a lamp and went through the records overnight.
The small room contained almost no furniture other than a simple bed. There was no tea, and they drank bitter coffee that they weren't used to, without even sugar.
