Lu Deng lectured for 50 minutes, and smoke started to come from his throat. He took the water cup and took a few mouthfuls.
The overly young professor did not make the boys feel too far away, and when they got off the podium, the last bit of estrangement was erased.
"Mr. Lu is tired? Drink slowly—"
Jiang Li got close and found an opportunity. He smiled and raised his hand to pat him on the back, but Liang Meng pulled him from behind and gave him a meaningful glance.
Even being the boss didn't have the guts to get close to the professor. Jiang Li curled his lips and clapped his hand. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Gang quickly covered the man's mouth and dragged him away from his sitting position.
Lu Deng was not used to dealing with crowds, his eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he looked curiously at the changes that happened one after another. Before he could return to his senses, the water cup in his hand had already been taken over.
Familiar arms stretched behind his back, hugged him and sat down in the vacant seat.
"My cup is easy to choke, don't worry, take it slow."
Ignoring the small movements of those few people, Gu Chuanbai sat down with Lu Jingmo, patted his back for him, and then handed the water glass over when he stopped coughing: "There is a vending machine in the building, I'll buy it in a while. One bottle, is it enough to drink?"
"Enough to drink."
Lu Jingmo was led by him and sat on the seat, holding a glass of water and drinking slowly, bowed his eyes and nodded, his eyes turned to the mobile phone he pressed on the table.
It's one thing to secretly save each other's photos, it's another to be discovered on the spot. Gu Chuan's ears were slightly hot, and he was about to hide his phone completely, but Lu Jingmo pressed his arm: "Did your instructor tell you to go?"
Just now, Gu Chuanbai's cell phone vibrated, and although it only lit for a moment, he had already scanned the remarks of the message prompt.
Zhan Pei has the habit of calling graduate students for meetings at any time. If he is late, he will be scolded in every possible way. Bringing a graduate student needs to have a topic, and the transfer of the supervisor requires mutual consent. Before poaching someone by himself, he must try his best to ensure that Gu Chuanbai will not be deliberately embarrassed by the other party.
The news was turned off as soon as it was lit up. Gu Chuanbai didn't have time to take a closer look. Hearing this, he was slightly startled.
"Go, I won't call names today."
Lu Jingmo smiled, opened his mouth warmly, and made a solemn promise.
The other party's first class was actually incomplete. Gu Chuanbai clenched his fists, and felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, and lowered his voice: "Jingmo, I—"
"But when I go back today, I have to hand in one more homework."
He continued the last sentence unhurriedly, meeting Gu Chuanbai's slightly surprised eyes, the corners of Lu Jingmo's lips couldn't help lifting, and he raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Can it be done?"
The young professor couldn't hold back his smile. He turned his head slightly to look at him, his eyes were bright and bright, revealing a very rare bit of smugness, as if he had taken a huge advantage.
Lu Jingmo has always been warm and quiet, and that rare tint is hidden in the small curvature of the corners of his lips, and it is difficult for people who are a little estranged from him to distinguish.
This kind of privilege made Gu Chuanbai's chest full of tenderness and sweetness, and the smile filled his brows in a blink of an eye. I almost couldn't help but want to raise my hand to hug him, but after all, I remembered that it was in the classroom, just leaned over and smiled warmly: "Yes, you can do as much homework as you want."
His answer was too happy, but Lu Jingmo was caught off guard and stared at him with wide eyes: "As much as you want?"
"As many as you want."
Gu Chuanbai still had a smile in his eyes, his hand had already reached out, and under the cover of the table, he quickly looked at him with a piece of chocolate stuffed in his palm, and squeezed his hand without a trace.
His little professor seems to be suffering from low blood sugar. He doesn't necessarily come back when he goes to a meeting by himself. It would be troublesome if he faints in class.
Lu Deng was stunned for a moment, and then he took out the candy wrapper and the shape of the chocolate, and a bright and warm color suddenly flashed across his eyebrows.
The system has said that giving chocolate is a precursor to developing further relationships with the goal of being shielded.
The other party has no memory of the previous world, and they have only known each other for a long time. No matter what, they can't appear too active. I didn't expect to receive the chocolate from Gu Chuanbai today.
very nice.
In the first few classes of the new semester, the students have a lot to talk about. The ones that should be secretly photographed have already been photographed almost, and the boys in the back are pulling out the door again, and no one has paid attention to them for the time being.
His eyes swept across his body quickly, confirming the safety of the surroundings. The young professor who had just been giving a 50-minute introduction to botany quietly reddened his ears, pursed the corners of his lips, and secretly shook his hand, and got up to let him go. way.
…
His little professor is too abducted. Before others discover this rule, he must feed him all the delicious food.
Looking at Lu Jingmo, who was obviously happy because of a piece of chocolate, Gu Chuanbai had mixed feelings in his heart. He secretly made up his mind, said goodbye to him, and hurried to the laboratory.
The remaining half of the class was over, and two class assignments were left, but Gu Chuanbai didn't come back.
After finishing the last chapter, the time just stuck at 105 minutes. Lu Deng closed the textbook and left the after-class tasks, indicating that the students can come and go freely.
Before Gu Chuanbai came back, Jiang Li wanted to help, but he declined with a smile, and then looked down at the mobile phone, which was still silent.
As long as there is time, Gu Chuanbai will definitely come back to pick him up, and even if he really can't get away, he will remember to send him a message.
No news has been sent yet, it can only mean that the other party has not even had the opportunity to take out his mobile phone until now.
Lu Deng was a little uneasy, packed up his computer and plant specimens, and waited for a while in the empty classroom. Seeing that there was still no news from Gu Chuanbai, he simply picked up his things and went to the central laboratory of cryo-electron microscopy to find it.
Knowledge can never be equated with character. Zhan Pei has a very poor character, but after all, he has no shortage of real talents and practical learning. He has four or five cutting-edge hot topics in his hands, and his lab under his name can publish several articles every year. For papers with a factor above 3.0, the funding has always been the most abundant in the entire biology department.
Zhan Pei supervises his graduate students very strictly, and encourages students to report each other, and punishes a few who speak ill of him behind his back. .
Graduation and the future are both held in the hands of the mentor, and no one dares to criticize him a little. Therefore, even most of the students in this school only know that his laboratory has good grades and sufficient funds. The graduate students who submit high scores every year are still thrown into the fire pit in batches without any knowledge.
Walking to the door of the laboratory, Zhan Pei's angry scolding was clearly heard from inside.
It's been over an hour and it's not over yet. After listening to a few words at the door, Lu Dengli had already roughly guessed the clue. He put the computer and the specimen box in one hand, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, and pushed the door in without waiting for a response.
"Nothing can be done! A set of cryo-electron microscopes is worth millions of dollars, and you can't afford to sell it - I don't want to know who broke it. If one person has a problem, everyone has to pay me equal compensation! One by one I've been dizzy all day, how could I have taken a fancy to you in the first place..."
Zhan Pei's scolding was interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and he turned around in surprise, vaguely feeling that the person who came was a little familiar, he just thought it was a graduate student who forgot his name, and his anger immediately poured out.
"What's your name? I didn't say that the meeting was held immediately, and you just ignored it? Go and prepare 500 copies of LB medium. If you miss one before tomorrow, add another 100 copies!"
More than a dozen graduate students were training next to each other in fright, not daring to lift their heads. Gu Chuanbai stood at the back. It took a moment to see who was coming. He was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward: "Professor Lu!"
He deliberately bit these words so clearly that everyone could hear them clearly. Lu Jingmo raised his head, nodded slightly towards him, and handed over the specimen box in his hand.
Lu Jingmo always had a smile on his face. When it was rare for him not to laugh, his brows became cold. His black and white clear pupils were sharp and sharp, but when he looked at Gu Chuanbai, he still revealed a little familiar gentleness.
It is more in line with the posture of genius elite scholars in people's hearts.
Not sure why Lu Jingmo came over suddenly, Gu Chuanbai worried that Zhan Pei, who was in a rage, would hurt him, hurried over to take the specimen box, and covered half of his body without a trace.
Finally remembering the special-term professor that the dean personally invited back, Zhan Pei's expression couldn't help showing a little subtlety, his exaggerated anger faded, but his tone was still cold.
"Professor Lu Jingmo? This is the Cryo-EM Center. If you want to use the instrument, please fill out the application. If you want to visit the laboratory, the instrument has broken down, and I don't know when it will be repaired—"
Lu Jingmo ignored him and just looked up at the abnormal data that was stuck on the projection screen.
The reason for Zhan Pei's anger is that the wrong operation of a graduate student caused the program of the cryo-electron microscope to be chaotic.
It costs a lot to ask someone to overhaul such an expensive instrument. Listening to his words, it is obvious that he intends to spread this cost evenly on the heads of these graduate students.
It was the first time that he saw his little professor put on such a majestic posture. Gu Chuanbai was a little stunned, but immediately understood, stepped forward and said apologetically, "Boss, our professor is more introverted and doesn't like to talk much..."
After someone made a rescue, Zhan Pei's face improved a little, and he looked up and down at him: "Are you his teaching assistant?"
When a teaching assistant is to be paid, according to Zhan Pei's rules, the teaching assistant takes up the time of experimental research, and the salary must be handed in 20%.
Gu Chuanbai gritted his teeth in response, but his heart was filled with sweetness instead.
It's a big deal to save yourself, save that money, even if you pay for the sentence "his teaching assistant", it's worth it.
The young specially-appointed professor didn't seem to care much about his teaching assistant, or didn't care about the environment around him at all, and just focused on browsing the data on the projection screen.
The projected blue light reflected on the bottom of his pupils, which made the contours of the originally delicate facial features more distinct. With one hand in his pocket, he was silent, showing a bit of indifference.
He never spoke, and Zhan Pei gradually became impatient. He was about to speak to see the guest, but Lu Jingmo suddenly raised his hand and pulled open the control panel of the detector.
"do not move!"
These instruments are all money. If the gap is big, there is no excuse to spread it among the students.
Zhan Pei was in a hurry, and stopped sharply. He reached out to stop it, but was stopped by Lu Jingmo raising his arm: "I'm in a hurry to use it, I'll pay for it if it breaks."
Since entering the door, this was the first time he spoke, and his indifferent arrogance made Zhan Pei's movements stagnate, and the corners of his eyes jumped very covertly.
Lu Jingmo, who just arrived, took the bulk of the experimental funding for the new quarter. Since he is willing to pay for the maintenance of the instrument for himself, he is not afraid that he will not fall on him at that time.
After making up his mind, Zhan Pei no longer stopped him, he just folded his arms and watched with a sneer and a sneer.
Interlaced is like a mountain, and the flora department usually does not use cryo-electron microscopy. Lu Jingmo may not be good at this aspect. Gu Chuanbai was a little worried and wanted to speak, but Lu Jingmo shoved another computer into his arms, and gently pressed it on his arm without a trace.
He wanted to protect Gu Chuanbai, but he couldn't let Zhan Pei's hatred for Gu Chuanbai deepen. The best way was to directly pull the other party's hatred on himself.
The principle of cryo-electron microscopy is complicated, and he does not understand it, but the problem now lies in the programming of the computer. As far as the system is concerned, as long as it is a computer, there is not much difference.
During this delay, the system has been successfully repaired and the problem has been solved. The complete transformation plan has been submitted, and a small flag has been waved to him in his mind: "Host, hate him!"
Lu Deng picked up the corners of his lips without a trace, still looking up at the screen, leaning slightly, calling up the background code, and quickly typing dazzling characters on the keyboard.
Zhan Pei couldn't understand it, but at least he knew that he was not aimless. His eyebrows became tighter and tighter as he watched Lu Jingmo enter the last line and hit enter.
With a beeping sound, the huge machine hummed and started running, the stuck program was restored smoothly, the blue screen was cleared, and new pieces of data filled the screen in a blink of an eye.
Zhan Pei's sneer also condensed at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the smooth new data on the screen, although it was still due to the obscenity of the tutor, the young faces of the graduate students still showed uncontrollable joy.
Zhan Pei's expression changed and he stood for a while, finally threw the sentence "Professor Lu will do it himself" and slammed the door and strode away.
There were muffled cheers from the crowd, many people were relieved, and their faces showed sincere joy.
The electron microscope needs to be repaired by someone from a foreign manufacturer, at least five or six thousand dollars. According to Zhan Pei, turning over ten thousand dollars is a rare grace. Even if more than a dozen people are evenly divided, this year's internship salary is not only useless, but the remaining money saved is estimated to have to be accounted for.
The moment Zhan Pei left, the chill all over Lu Jingmo disappeared. He looked at Gu Chuanbai, who was stuffed full of computers and specimens by himself, with a bright smile in his eyes.
Talented scientists always have to have some aura. Although there is no pre-rehearsal, the cooperation between the two is undoubtedly extremely tacit.
Gu Chuanbai also picked up the corners of his lips, held his arm, and promptly circled Lu Jingmo out of the laboratory before a group of postgraduate students gathered around to ask questions.
The other party prepared a class for the night last night. How could he really use an electron microscope for experiments? His little professor came here, obviously to help him out.
The black eyes in front of him are clear and moist, and the eyebrows are softly curved, and he can't see the majesty just now.
It is not the first time that he has been scolded with blood, but it is the first time that he has been protected by someone involuntarily. Gu Chuanbai's heart was full of sourness, he straightened his collar for him, smiled and said warmly, "Jingmo, thank you."
Lu Jingmo shook his head and said in a serious tone, "the next time something like this happens, just call me."
They are all in the same department, Zhan Pei has a small temperament, and Lu Jingmo has many conflicts with him. Maybe he will be targeted at some time, and he can't ask each other to help in everything.
Gu Chuanbai nodded, but didn't answer. He just put the thing in one hand and put it on his shoulder: "Go, I'll take you back to the office."
It’s just that it’s just a little bit more tiring, and after being scolded a few times, it’s over.
I found that I didn’t regret it when I jumped into the fire pit, but I still have to live the same life after regretting it. I still have to find a way to do research and use the existing resources to find ways to make more valuable papers. At least for now, he feels that he can still bear it.
After sending Lu Jingmo back to the office, he made an appointment with him to help him correct his homework on the weekend. Gu Chuanbai was in a good mood, and clicked on the dormitory group to report that he was safe.
The whole dormitory is aware of Zhan Pei's virtues, and every time he is taken to a meeting, there will be many condolences. But this time, not only did he not receive any attention, he was instead called by Jiang Li with a phone call: "Nie Barrier! Did you make the little professor's courseware, tell me!"
"It wasn't me, he did it himself."
Gu Chuanbai was a little surprised, moved the phone further away, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Two class assignments, a full eight questions, but you skipped class!"
Jiang Li roared on the phone, and continued to ask: "Is that small paper on the history of botany after class your idea!"
The amount of homework does seem to be quite a lot, and Jiang Li's voice has almost turned into an actual exclamation mark.
Remembering that he even had to pay two copies, Gu Chuanbai tightened his back, gritted his teeth and continued to resist: "It's not me, he kept it..."
He just taught Lu Jingmo how to keep homework. Who knows why his little professor has such a strong obsession with keeping homework.
"I didn't do the courseware and leave the homework, so what did you do in his office for the night? Eat, play, play, sleep? Then what's the use of you!"
Jiang Li didn't believe it at all, shouted angrily, and hung up with grief and anger.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Gu Chuanbai touched his jaw, gradually stopped, and fell into deep thought.
