"It would be even better if he wasn't the blind date arranged by my brother."
Xia Zhining sighed, counting on her fingers: "I haven't seen Mom yet, the matter of my brother's job transfer back then hasn't been clarified, the development of the new vaccine has only just begun, and I still need to keep exercising..."
"I'm so busy I wish I could split myself into eight pieces, I simply don't have time to think about finding a partner."
She rested her chin on her hand, her face filled with worry: "I just want to grow up quickly and become capable of handling things."
Gu Huaiye was taken aback. The question, "Should we change our blind date?" lingered on his lips before sinking into his heart.
He gazed at her long eyelashes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "Perhaps you could seek some help, like from me."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhining's doe-like eyes rippled with clear emotion: "But you're already helping me!"
She smiled and patted her chest, saying, "A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return!"
"Dr. Gu, you wait! Don't underestimate a young man's potential. I'll protect you in the future!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "I've discovered that veterinary medicine and human medicine really have a lot in common!"
"For example, the technique of performing arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery on horses can be applied to the treatment of human knee joints after modification, resulting in less trauma and faster recovery."
"But I'm not very knowledgeable about human medicine, while you are an expert. This improved method..."
When it comes to her professional field, Xia Zhining becomes incredibly inspired and speaks fluently and at length.
As Gu Huaiye listened, he even subconsciously wanted to take out his pen to write down her idea.
The two artists' styles veered off course all the way to academic conferences.
By the time Gu Huaiye realized it, the topic had already been irreversibly turned back.
Xia Zhining finished speaking her thoughts in one breath without taking a breath, feeling like she was a little genius.
She excitedly grasped his hands, her eyes shining brightly: "Dr. Gu, let's join forces, integrating the best of veterinary and human medicine, and dominate the global medical field together!"
Gu Huaiye looked down at the hands that were holding his.
Her skin was fair and soft, her fingertips tinged with a faint pink, and her round nails were neatly trimmed. At this moment, she was gripping him tightly with great strength.
Good news: They finally took the initiative to hold hands.
The bad news: it brought out the solemnity of the meeting between the envoys of the two countries.
The news was neither good nor bad: she was holding on very tightly and couldn't pull away anytime soon.
Gu Huaiye silently felt the warmth emanating from his palm and sighed inwardly.
Back at the zoo, Xia Zhining went straight to the reptile house.
The blunt-headed, two-tailed snake that she rescued at the hospital almost died while "eating melons" has been temporarily placed here thanks to her timely rescue.
In the suitable environment, the little guy's condition improved day by day. As soon as he saw Xia Zhining appear, he excitedly swam to the glass and called out in a clear voice: "[Benefactor!]"
Over the past few days, Xia Zhining learned that the little snake originally lived in Yanlan Mountain and encountered the Ling family father and son who were fishing.
"Xiao Dun, I'll take you home tomorrow," she said softly.
The little snake was overjoyed: [Great! I can finally go home!]
Yanlan Mountain is a famous mountain in Southeast China, and it happens to be the origin of "Gexianmi," the core ingredient in Xia's Group's newly launched dog food products.
Xia Zhining recalled the information provided by Boss Ya: the number of peach blossom jellyfish in Yanlan Mountain had recently decreased sharply, which had led to the death of a large number of Ge Xian Mi seeds.
She couldn't help but worry.
Freshwater jellyfish are known as "giant pandas of the water" and are extremely rare.
Its disappearance not only means that an ancient species may go extinct, but it will also trigger a chain reaction and even change the entire biosphere of Yanlan Mountain.
The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.
