Chapter 26 Double Label Dog
Professor Gu is such a nice person. Knowing that I really wanted to meet the teacher, he quickly found an excuse to ask the teacher out.
"You really don't want to have dinner with the teacher?"
He wanted me to have dinner with the teacher openly, but I didn't dare.
I feel guilty and I'm scared.
I didn't want to think that after so many years, the teacher had finally forgotten me, the student who disappointed him, but when he saw me, he felt regretful and disappointed again.
"Don't think too much. Over the years, I have often mentioned you to me. Although I feel regretful, I can tell that I still miss you very much. When I really like a student, I won't be willing to be angry with her for too long."
"I am a teacher now, too. Trust me."
Gu Yaozhi started tutoring students after returning from further studies at a foreign graduate school last year.
I knew he had my best interests at heart, but I still declined his kindness because besides being afraid, I didn't know how to face the teacher.
I just want to take a peek at him and see that he is doing fine.
Gu Yao's persuasion didn't move me, so he stopped trying to persuade me.
Soon, the old man came over. Seeing that he was full of energy and still able to walk briskly, I felt relieved.
"Yaozhi, I remember that it was Qiao Yi who recommended you to me. Have you been in touch with her in the past few years?"
After the teacher talked about academic matters with Gu Yaozhi for a while, he suddenly turned the topic to me.
This startled me and I clutched the coffee cup tightly in my hand.
Gu Yaozhi glanced in the direction where I was hiding, and then asked calmly, "What's wrong, teacher?"
"I heard something a few days ago. It seems that she and Shen Yanci are not on good terms. I wonder if you have any news about her."
"She's a good kid in every way, except that she places too much emphasis on love," the teacher said with a sigh.
His tone was full of regret.
"If the AI chip she proposed could have been researched further, it might have been developed and benefited mankind. She is really a very talented person and she shouldn't waste such a talent."
"Especially for a man."
As a scholar, an obsessive researcher, Qi Pei loves talented people, especially geniuses. He always thought that with Qiao Yi's talent, she would surpass his achievements in a few years.
But she suddenly decided to drop out of school for a man. He was so disappointed and angry that he never wanted to see her again.
But when he heard that she was not doing well, he couldn't help but want to care about her.
I hope she can come back.
I hope she can continue on the path she should take.
The concern in the teacher's tone made me tear up uncontrollably. Thinking about the project that I had been researching for more than a year, I felt even more guilty.
When I was a sophomore, a classmate in our class was in a car accident, injured his nerves, and paralyzed his legs. He was diagnosed with the possibility of never being able to stand up again. When our advisor organized us to visit him, I felt very sad to see that this classmate who was once full of energy and had a bright future had hit rock bottom in life because of an accident.
While helping that classmate, I saw many people like him. Seeing them and their families in so much pain, I couldn't help but think, how great it would be if there was something that could replace their injured nerves, continue the work of their injured nerves, and allow them to stand up again.
During an experiment, I suddenly realized that my idea could become a reality, so I told my teacher about my idea. After listening to me, the teacher excitedly praised me as a genius for coming up with such an idea not long after learning this subject.
He believed in me so much and supported me so much that for my research project, he, who had always disliked dealing with people, even lowered his head, bent his waist, and ran around to find connections to set up a laboratory for me.
But for Shen Yanci, I abandoned our research and walked away just when it was finally making some progress.
I have failed my original intention and also failed my teacher's trust and support in me.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to him.
"If you can contact her, please tell her that I still have the lab for her. If she wants to come back, she can still make it now."
The teacher's words made me unable to control my tears and fall.
Long after the teacher left, I was still lying on the table, unable to raise my head.
All the emotions of guilt and self-blame surged up and almost drowned me.
When I first fell in love with a brain, how brain-dead it was.
How regretful I am now.
Why was I so confused at that time?
How could I give up everything for a man, a scumbag like that?
“Life is like an experiment. Don’t be afraid of mistakes or failures. As long as you can recognize your mistakes and extricate yourself from them in time, everything is possible.”
Gu Yaozhi, who came back at some unknown time, handed me a tissue.
I took the tissue he handed me and covered my face with it. After a while, I took the tissue off my face and smiled at Gu Yaozhi, "Thank you, Professor Gu. When I have time, I will treat you to a good meal!"
I can feel pain and regret, but I cannot indulge myself too much. Pain and regret are huge swamps. Once I indulge myself, they will swallow me up.
I want to live well and make up for my mistakes.
Gu Yaozhi also smiled at me and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll leave first. See you next time for dinner." I stood up and wanted to leave.
I don’t know if it was because I stood up too quickly or what, but my feet suddenly slipped and I fell forward.
For an ordinary person, falling down like this is no problem, but for me now, falling down like this is very dangerous.
I was so scared that I desperately wanted to grab something, not wanting to endure that kind of pain again.
But I tried for a long time and caught nothing.
Just when I thought I was going to die.
I was caught steadily by a pair of broad and thick hands.
The light sandalwood scent on the man seemed to have a calming effect, allowing my frightened heart, which was beating wildly, to slowly calm down.
Looking up, I smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor Gu, for saving my life again."
Gu Yaozhi laughed, "I just gave you a hand, why is it so exaggerated?"
I smiled and said nothing.
As I wanted to take a step back and move away from the man.
"Qiao Yi, what are you doing!?"
The voice that contained extremely suppressed anger made me look up.
Shen Yanci's face turned as green as the Hulk, as if he was a husband who caught his wife cheating on him.
I frowned impatiently, "Can't you see what I'm doing?"
What can I do in such a large crowd?
"If you can't see, please donate your eyes. They are useless anyway!"
"Also, when you question me in this tone, please look at what you are doing!"
