Time passed silently like water. Six hours passed before I knew it. When a ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, the crystal clear ice flower finally melted.
Only then did Xiao Junlin realize that he had been standing by the operating table for the entire night, while his assistants were waiting quietly by the side, looking at him with worried eyes. Of course they noticed the doctor's abnormality, but they didn't dare to go up and disturb him, for fear that he was thinking about some profound questions or had some inspiration.
"Doctor, it's daybreak. Let's prepare breakfast for you. You can take a nap first. We will wake you up at noon." An assistant said respectfully.
"Don't call me at noon." Xiao Junlin took off his white gloves and white coat, showing his tired look for the first time.
"Why? Don't you have to go to Dr. Lin?" The assistant seemed surprised.
"Why should I go?" Xiao Junlin asked back coldly.
"To make the flowers bloom again?" the assistant hesitated.
"I'm tired of looking at this flower." Xiao Junlin lowered his eyelids to block his unpredictable gaze.
The assistant didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried downstairs to prepare the nutrient solution. In order to save time and keep the food absolutely clean, they extracted various nutrients from plants or meat and then served them to the doctor. Just drinking three tubes of nutritional supplements a day can ensure the doctor's daily energy needs.
After Xiao Junlin finished his breakfast and took a hot bath, he went to bed. He woke up on time at noon and stared at the ceiling for a long time before forcing himself to fall asleep again. Towards the evening, he walked into the laboratory with a tired face and started the day's work, but for the first time ever, a test tube exploded, shocking all the assistants.
Everyone looked at him quietly, with fear and confusion in their eyes. From the age of fourteen to twenty-nine, a full fifteen years, the doctor never made a mistake in his experiments. He is the dawn of China's scientific community and the god of experiments. How could he have made such a low-level mistake as exploding a test tube?
But the broken glass and corrosive liquid on the operating table clearly showed what had happened before.
The two assistants were the first to come to their senses, and then hurriedly cleaned up the mess.
Xiao Junlin looked at his white coat which was burned black by the corrosive liquid, and finally said, "I'm going to rest for a while, don't disturb me."
"Okay." The assistant didn't dare to say a word.
After Xiao Junlin left, others began to whisper, "What happened to the doctor? Is he sick?" @无限好文，全部在Jinjiang文学城
"Don't ask too many questions, just do your experiment." The assistant scratched his neck and everyone immediately quieted down.
That night, Xiao Junlin did not do any experiments. Instead, he slept for a full eight hours for the first time in his life. At six o'clock the next day, he woke up, walked into the brightly lit laboratory, and stood in front of the operating table with a spotlight. The glass box that was always placed here had long been taken away by the assistant, and replaced by a pot of real flowers, with green branches and leaves, and red buds. It was not as gorgeous as the ice flowers, but it was really beautiful.
Xiao Junlin's eyes darkened, his pressure dropped, and he stared at Zhenhua for a long time before turning away. The moment he withdrew his sight from the flower, it withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, it was still early and there was no one in the laboratory, otherwise this strange sight would surely attract everyone's attention.
For a whole week, Xiao Junlin did not step out of the laboratory. Lin Dan initially inquired about his condition, and was relieved to learn that he was not sick but just busy. Her clinic welcomes many patients every day, and sometimes she has to make house calls, so she really doesn't have time to think about random things.
Half a month later, Yang Huatong came to the underground research institute with a gift box and a somewhat unhappy expression.
"Is Dr. Xiao free now? Can I see him? Lin Dan has brought him another gift."
"Please wait a moment, I will go ask the doctor." The assistant invited Yang Huatong into the reception room with a very friendly attitude. A quarter of an hour later, she came back and shook her head regretfully: "Sorry, the doctor said he's not available."
"Oh, okay. I'll go first then." Yang Huatong left with the gift box.
The assistant hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, didn't you come to give a gift? Why did you take it away again?" Ever since Lin Dan sent a plant of ice flower that bloomed every day, the assistant had developed a strong curiosity about her gift.

"This gift is too valuable and must be handed over to the doctor in person. Since the doctor is busy, I will take it first, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Lin Dan if it is lost." Yang Huatong hugged the box tightly, as if he was afraid that his assistant would come to snatch it. Sister Huang, who had given him a hard time last time, came out of the lab and sneered, "What kind of useless thing is this? A piece of ice, and you think it's magic?"
Yang Huatong did not argue with her, nor was he provoked by her to hand over the box. He was envious of the things inside. It would be great if the doctor was unwilling to take them. He went to Lin Dan to negotiate and got them back. Thinking of this, he walked faster. When he saw the elevator was just around the corner, the doctor's cold voice came from the radio: "Stationmaster Yang, please send the things back."
"Fuck, didn't he just say he was busy?" Yang Huatong was annoyed, but had to turn back. He saw Dr. Xiao standing at the door of the laboratory with his hands in his pockets, his expression extremely cold.
"Give it to me." He stretched out his hand, his tone tougher than ever before.
Yang Huatong handed over the box with a painful look on his face.

"What is that?" Seeing the doctor open the lid of the box, the assistant stood on tiptoe to take a look, and then was disappointed: "It turned out to be new clothes and new gloves."
Sister Huang immediately mocked, "Seeing how Stationmaster Yang treasures it, I thought this gift was very precious. New clothes and new gloves, we have plenty of these things in our warehouse."
"It's not a lot. We're almost using it up. These gifts are just right for us." The assistant couldn't help but say something fair.
These people were so blind that they treated a treasure as trash. Yang Huatong really couldn't tolerate it anymore. He taunted, “How long has it been since you last left the institute?”
"About half a month, right?" the assistant answered honestly. Since the doctor doesn't go out, they naturally have no reason to go outside for some fresh air.
"No wonder you are all out of touch with the outside world. Do you know? These are not ordinary clothes and gloves. They are made of silk from the mutant silkworms cultivated by Lin Dan, and they condense the power of natural elements. In order to improve the level of those mutant silkworms, Lin Dan feeds them with leaves of king plants, such as phoenix flowers, hibiscus trees, golden needle pines... It was not easy to cultivate a batch of mutant silkworms above level six. The clothes in Dr. Xiao's hand are woven with silk of five elements. They are invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and can also prevent poison. Wearing them close to the body can withstand the full force of a level six mutant or zombie. Outside, the cloth woven by Lin Dan himself and containing a single natural element is in great demand. You still despise it? To put it bluntly, even if all of you assistants were sold, the money in exchange would not be enough to buy a pair of gloves like this."
Sister Huang seemed to have found a loophole and sneered, "This piece of cloth is really so magical, why don't you tell me how Lin Dan made it into clothes? It can't be cut by swords or guns, and it can't be burned by fire. How do you cut it? How do you tailor it?"
Yang Huatong looked at her as if she was an idiot. "Of course not with scissors. When a silkworm turns into a moth and is about to break out of its cocoon, it will secrete a kind of saliva that dissolves the silk so that it can get out. If Lin Dan collects enough saliva, she can naturally decompose the cloth into the template she wants. Hey, you are all scientists, why are you so lacking in knowledge?"
Sister Huang blushed with embarrassment and almost dug a hole in the ground and crawled into it.
Yang Huatong reached out to take the box and sneered, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to do it. You're delivering a gift wrong, right?"
Xiao Junlin turned sideways to avoid his touch and said lightly: "I'll do it myself." He threw the gloves into the fire and lit them, but saw that they were glowing without any damage; he threw them into strong acid and strong alkali solutions, and when he took them out, they were not stained with a drop of liquid, and were still a complete and clean pair. The super strong defense scared everyone.
Yang Huatong said enviously: "Did you see it? This kind of five-element cloth is of level six or above, and one foot can be sold for the high price of one hundred level eight crystal cores. If it is made into protective clothing and worn close to the body, we dare to go through it even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Lin Dan only got this one piece of five-element cloth, and he cut it all out to make clothes and gloves for the doctor. You are still nagging and complaining about it. Why don't you return the things to me!" He stretched out his hand and tried to snatch the box.
God knows how he felt when he saw Lin Dan stuffing these things into the box. He wanted to rush over to her, hug her thighs, and beg her to sell the things to him. The doctor is so cold-hearted that no matter how expensive the gift you give him is, he won't even say thank you.
Xiao Junlin avoided Yang Huatong's attempt to grab the item and froze him in place with just a cold look. "I accept the gift. Stationmaster Yang, take care."
The laboratory door was closed. Xiao Junlin placed his gloves and coat on the operating table, his eyes fixed. Under the spotlight, the originally pure white cloth actually glowed with faint blue, red, gold, green... lights, just like the legendary fairy clothes, and its functions were comparable to them. Looking at them, it was not difficult for Xiao Junlin to imagine how Lin Dan reeled the cocoons into silk and weaved them into cloth. She put a lot of thought into this gift and it was completely tailor-made for Xiao Junlin. Next time he does an experiment, he no longer has to worry about the flame burning his hands, the test tube exploding, or the strong alkali and acid corroding his skin.
Even after leaving, Lin Dan still found a way to send her meticulous care to the doctor. How could anyone refuse that?
Xiao Junlin rubbed his temples and sighed, "Lv Yun, send the things in my safe to Lin Dan."
The assistant pushed the door open and came in with a stunned expression: "Doctor, you just developed the result, and you haven't used it yourself, how can you give it to others? You are just an ordinary person, and Lin Dan is a superpower, and her strength is very strong. She shouldn't be able to use that thing, right?"
"She can use it." Xiao Junlin paused for a moment before adding, "In fact, I developed this achievement just for her."
The assistant's jaw dropped as he quickly opened the safe and took out a silver metal box. This is outrageous, she seems to have heard a shocking gossip - the doctor has a crush on Dr. Lin!
