Chapter 898: Meeting You, I Am Back to Life 25
It was still a long-distance flight of more than ten hours. In addition to Lingyao and Liu Yun, there was also an accompanying doctor, Frank, in the first-class cabin.
This person is Jos's assistant and student. He just graduated with a doctorate from the medical school where Jos works. He is Jos's most proud disciple and is only 25 years old this year.
Frank also participated in Lingyao's treatment throughout his doctoral studies, so when Lingyao returned to China this time, Jos arranged for Frank to accompany her.
After all, they spent ten years studying Lingyao's illness. Now that Lingyao's body has begun to recover, it is already a major breakthrough in medical history. Of course, they have to keep an eye on Lingyao's condition.
Frank himself is a mixed-race of Chinese and white. His mother is a Chinese aboriginal. He occasionally travels to China with his mother. He has a very good impression of China and gladly accepted the teacher's arrangement.
Frank received a typical American education, he is free and individualistic. Although he is not very familiar with Lingyao, he talks a lot to her.
But Lingyao completely treated his words as background noise. In the empty first-class cabin, Liu Yun would occasionally talk to him.
Lingyao was using her mobile phone to look at the information she received before boarding the plane.
When you open the document, a four-inch ID photo with a blue background is particularly eye-catching in the upper right corner of the first page.
The faces in the photos are both familiar and unfamiliar.
His black hair was parted in a 3:7 ratio, and the wrinkles on his double eyelids were a little deeper than before, making his eyebrows and eyes look more profound and serious. His tall, straight nose and thin lips had not changed much.
The biggest change was in his face shape. When Lingyao left, I remember his face was still oval and a little fleshy.
Now, the grown bones support the face skin, and every bit of excess flesh has been discarded. The facial contour is smooth, the chin is clear, and the facial folds are very high.
His temperament is calm and solemn, and he exudes solemnity just by looking at him.
Lingyao's eyes stayed on the photo for a few seconds, then continued reading.
[The top scorer in the 2020 Nanhuai City College Entrance Examination, recommended for admission to the Ph.D. program at the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University in 2022... Now he is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University and an assistant teacher of atomic physics at the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University...]
After Lingyao finished reading the information, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and opened someone's chat interface. After opening it, she realized that there was no signal on the plane, so she put it back and simply closed her eyes to rest.
When the plane landed, it was 10 o'clock in the evening in Taipei City.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Lingyao got home.
The house in Taipei City is a two-story villa. Lingyao lives on the second floor, Liu Yun and another aunt from Taipei City live on the first floor, and Frank lives on the second floor like Lingyao because he has to take care of Lingyao's physical condition at all times.
As soon as they arrived at the villa, Frank dutifully arranged for Lingyao to have a physical examination. The flight of more than ten hours had put a strain on Lingyao's body.
Fortunately, after the examination, all the data were normal. Frank yawned, told Lingyao to go to bed early, and then carried the medicine box back to the room.
Lingyao waited until Frank left before she took out her cell phone again and sent the message that she hadn't sent on the plane.
After flying for a long time in the high sky, the carrier pigeon still delivered messages from afar.
Shen Qi had just returned to his apartment after locking the door of the laboratory. He had been busy all day and had not yet had lunch. At this time, most hotels and restaurants were still closed.
He strolled along and found a barbecue restaurant that was still open and busy, and sat down. He had a bad stomach in recent years and could not eat barbecue that was too strong, but it was not the first time he stayed in the laboratory so late, nor was it the first time he came to this restaurant. He skillfully ordered a bowl of fried rice, took a bottle of iced soy milk and sat down.
The meal was served quickly, delivered by the proprietress herself.
The egg fried rice in the bowl has already peaked.
The proprietress handed the bowl to Shen Qi and said, "Shen Bo, are you busy so late again tonight?"
Shen Qi nodded and took the egg fried rice from the proprietress.
"Well, one set of data is wrong. I checked it again."
"Shen Bo is always serious about his work." Shen Qi took the fried rice, but the proprietress stood there without leaving. He couldn't help but look up at her.
When the proprietress saw him raise his eyes, her eyes flashed again.
This Shen Bo is really handsome. She has seen many doctors and professors around here, but she has never seen anyone more handsome than Shen Qi.
The key point is that he is not only handsome but also capable. I heard that he is now an assistant professor in the school. It is certain that he will stay in the school to work after he graduates with a doctorate.
If not for this, she would not have thought of finding a connection for her niece. After all, her niece is the only child in the local area and her family is well off.
"Shen Bo, I see you are almost 24 or 25 this year, right? Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
Before trying to help her niece, the boss's wife still had to find out clearly, in case he had a girlfriend or there were some unknown reasons, she wouldn't have to do anything unnecessary. However, the boss's wife had observed him for a long time and it didn't look like he had a girlfriend.
I just don’t know if there is a second reason.
It was not the first time that Shen Qi was asked such questions. After graduating from college, his classmates, teachers, and teachers' wives had all asked him this question. Even Yuan He, who had been in the same school with him from junior high school to college, had asked him if he was gay.
"Brother, tell me the truth. Do you not like women at all? Do you like men? Don't worry, as long as you don't like me, we can still be good friends for life. Although I don't understand, I will definitely respect you. Respect!"
So when facing the boss lady's questions, Shen Qi was already familiar with it.
"Too busy, no time."
He is a solitary boat drifting on the sea, small and broken, having to guard against leaks and winds all the time. On this endless sea, he can only stick to one route to go further and longer.
Maybe one day he will encounter the scenery he wants, and he will naturally get off the boat to see it, but for the time being, that scenery seems not to have arrived yet.
Or perhaps, that scenery has already missed him.
After listening to this, the proprietress nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that this could be done. She took the fruit plate beside her and put it on Shen Qi's table.
"Come on, Shen Bo, you eat first. I'm going to go out to greet the guests. Eat well. You don't have to pay for today's meal and soy milk. As a Ph.D. in physics, you are also making a contribution to our country."
After the proprietress finished speaking, she was called out by guests from several tables outside.
Shen Qi didn't take the proprietress's words to heart and scanned the code and paid as usual.
He is no longer short of money in the past few years. He basically has paid tuition, exam rewards, competition rewards, project wages, and patent royalties. The money in Shen Qi's card has reached seven figures.
In addition, he spends little, does not like to buy luxury goods and does not have any high-consumption entertainment activities, so the money in the card has basically never been withdrawn.
No, he did have some. When he was a freshman, he received the top scholar bonus and the study encouragement money from Tsinghua University, which totaled nearly 15 yuan.
He calculated his future expenses and transferred 120,000 yuan to Lingyao.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi was in a daze for a moment. He had been too busy recently and he hadn't thought about this childhood friend for a long time.
My sight was pulled away by the memories flashing through my mind, and the fried rice in my mouth no longer had much flavor.
After so many years, Shen Qi has accepted that everyone's experiences in life are stage-by-stage, but every time he thinks of it, he can't help feeling melancholy and a bit of inexplicable bitterness.
For example, if you add only three-tenths of sugar to a milk tea base, the tea tastes sweet and fragrant at first, but you will taste the bitterness of the tea when you finish drinking it.
There was a dull pain in his stomach. Shen Qi frowned, then relaxed his brows and continued to eat a mouthful of rice with his chopsticks.
With a ding-dong sound and vibration, the black screen of the phone on the table lit up.
Shen Qi held the chopsticks in one hand and picked up the phone with the other.
The person who sent the message at this time should not be the tutor. It was probably Yuan Helai who was wailing about the conflict with his girlfriend recently, or maybe it was those people in the university dormitory group.
Shen Qi unlocked the phone and checked it with a calm expression. While looking, he took a sip of the ice soy milk with a straw beside him.
The next second, Shen Qi's black eyes began to tremble, and his rolling Adam's apple was stuck in mid-air.
The slender fingers holding the bottle unconsciously exerted force until the knuckles turned white, and water droplets condensed from the cold air flowed down his fingers.
