In the days that followed, Gu Chuanbai's busyness continued unabated.
Although Lu Deng will detain people to rest when he finds the opportunity, he still only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. The botany course is held once a week. Except for the class, Gu Chuanbai is so busy that he is almost invisible. If he enters the electron microscope laboratory, he often cannot get through the phone.
It was so busy lighting the lamp and cooking oil that no one could stand it. After a cup full of espresso coffee was confiscated by Professor Lu in advance and replaced with healthy red dates and white fungus tea, Gu Chuanbai finally took a rare nap in the botany class.
Probably because he was really tired these days, and when he was woken up by the noise beside him, Gu Chuanbai was shocked to realize that class had ended.
Cold sweat broke out from behind, Gu Chuanbai suddenly sat up straight, grabbed Jiang Li beside him: "Why didn't you call me?"
"Your little professor and I have compared to me a few times not to talk. The loudspeaker is turned off without looking. How dare I wake you up in front of him?"
Jiang Li waved his hand with lingering fears, put the thermos cup into his hand, and raised his chin to signal him to hurry up and send the warmth: "Come on, hurry up, Comrade Chuanbai, the focus of the final exam of the Department of Biology depends on you."
As the exam date approached, many people had begun to feel a sense of urgency. Lu Jingmo on the podium was surrounded by the crowd, all students from various departments begging him to help focus.
Gu Chuanbai frowned, picked up the thermos cup, and ran down quickly.
The amphitheater is very large, and it takes a lot of your voice to teach with a loudspeaker, let alone only rely on the native voice to teach. Lu Jingmo was originally taciturn, and his volume was not high. After speaking for nearly two hours in this way, he was not sure whether he could still speak.
He couldn't help but blame himself more and more. Gu Chuanbai pushed aside the crowd and squeezed past. Lu Jingmo was sitting in front of the podium, marking the key points. He raised his head when he heard his footsteps, his brows still curled into a clear and soft smile.
Gu Chuanbai was speechless, unscrewed the thermos cup in his hand, handed it to him, and squatted down beside him.
Lu Jingmo took a few sips of water and continued to lower his head and patiently mark on the textbook. The hand leaning on his knee moved away quietly, patted Gu Chuanbai's shoulder, and made a fruit candy and stuffed it into his hand.
The students focused their attention on the key points, sighing every time there was more, and begging him to simplify the key points because the young professor seemed to be easy to talk. But Lu Jingmo just smiled and didn't make a sound. After finishing the last line, he handed the book back, and attached a note to the book.
The words "Look at these first" were written beautifully and handsomely, but they immediately caused a lot of half-truths of lamentation.
Although only half of the book has been focused on, there is still room for struggle. Everyone waited for a while without giving up, and seeing that he really didn't want to say more, finally the half-hearted and half-hearted gradually dissipated.
Gu Chuanbai felt a pain in his chest, he got up in silence to pack his things, but his wrist was suddenly lightly held.
Looking at his complexion carefully, seeing that the tiredness between his eyebrows finally faded a little, Lu Jingmo nodded relievedly, and squeezed his wrist: "Go back and I'll make up for you."
As soon as he heard his voice, his voice became hoarse. Gu Chuanbai's movements were slightly stagnant. He looked at the pair of black eyes that were still patient and gentle, and said in a low voice, "Jing Mo..."
"I left ten class assignments today."
Before he could open his mouth to review, Lu Jingmo had already stopped the conversation with a warm voice, and after a brief pause, the familiar clear smile appeared in his eyes: "You have to do twenty things."
Just relying on roaring to finish two classes is not enough anyway. Lu Jingmo let the system temporarily break the loudspeaker, and carefully prepared ten homework questions that were well understood.
There is still a month left for the exam, and the entire class agreed that this must be the focus of the exam, and no one has any objection.
Gu Chuanbai's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but smile, clenched his hand, and nodded vigorously: "I will do fifty."
The other party really does not like to do homework in general. Lu Deng had long forgotten what happened the day he ate the ice cream, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Is fifty courses alright?"
"Go to your office and do as much as you want."
The little professor's voice was so hoarse that it made people's mouths choked up, Gu Chuanbai pressed his fingers against his somewhat dry lips, smiled and answered, helping him carry the things in his hand: "Don't talk for now, take care of your voice. I'll cook for you tonight, okay?"
The busyness of these days is not meaningless. He inadvertently compared a set of key outliers when arranging the data. Inspired by Lu Jingmo's experiment, he designed a new set of verification experiments. He has submitted a complete experimental plan and Application. If you are lucky, the results will be made in the laboratory during the winter vacation, and they may be published in international journals with an impact factor of over 10.
The scientific research competition is fierce and cruel, luck and strength coexist, and the more you go, the more difficult it is. But he still wanted to go as far as possible to where his little professor was, and then bring people back in an open and honest way.
Lu Jingmo still didn't know what he was thinking, but he was attracted by the other party's intention to cook by himself, his eyes brightened, and he nodded with anticipation.
The bottom of his pupils was soft and warm, and while there was no one in the classroom, Gu Chuanbai put the things in one hand and led the person into the elevator.
He will try his best to go up.
Gu Chuanbai took Lu Jingmo back to the office, opened the dining table, lined up the cooking pots on the induction cooker chopping board, took out a few ingredients from the refrigerator, and sat down on the sofa with the little professor who was eager to help. .
Lu Jingmo sat down meekly with his strength, but his eyes were still bright, clasping his arms and aiming at the ingredients on the table.
"I'm cooking tomato and beef brisket soup today, and adding crab roe and corn. Do you want anything else?"
At this time, it is easy to forget the true identity of the other party, Gu Chuanbai rubbed his hair with a smile, leaned over to ask in a warm voice, and handed a stack of sticky notes and a pen in his hand: "Come on, click vegetable."
It has been more than three months since he realized it, buying a cafeteria, ordering takeout, and starting a small stove by himself, Gu Chuanbai has tried every feeding method he can think of.
Lu Jingmo is easily abducted by delicious food, but his taste is unexpectedly not picky, and he will be satisfied no matter what. But the more so, the more persistently Gu Chuanbai wanted to find more meals for him.
Knowing that he was trying to raise his voice for himself, Lu Jingmo frowned and wrote a few words on the paper in a serious manner, and handed it straight to him.
Gu Chuanbai couldn't help but be a little surprised that the other party's order was so happy today, he took it over with a smile, but suddenly he was slightly stunned.
There was no dish written on it, and the only three words written on it were his name.
Suddenly remembering Lu Jingmo's helplessness in the dark at that time, the smile in Gu Chuanbai's eyes gradually faded, his heart was full of sourness, he half-squatted in front of him, holding the little professor's hand: "I want me to accompany you. ,is not it?"
Lu Jingmo nodded, still with a good-looking smile on his delicate face, and took out a really concise and clear focus from behind and stuffed it into his arms.
Looking at the warm color between his brows, Gu Chuanbai couldn't help it anymore, leaned over to hug the person in his arms, and tightened his arms: "It's going to be healed soon, very soon..."
When awake, his little professor never knew how to act sad.
He wrapped his arms around his neck, leaning his warm body up. Gu Chuanbai gently pressed his cheek, closed his eyes and hugged him for a while, before letting go of his hands and straightening up.
"I'll make the meal first, we'll have a good meal, and then I'll do my homework—five questions, and don't go to bed until I finish it, okay?"
Lu Jingmo nodded reluctantly, watching him go back and continue to work in an orderly manner, curling his knees into the sofa, holding the computer and continuing to improve his subject.
The two of them settled in their respective places, and both had busy work at hand. Although there was only the sound of soup cooking in the room, they were not embarrassed and deserted at all.
After steaming the rice, Gu Chuanbai picked up a piece of tenderly stewed beef brisket, soaked it in the sweet and sour tomato soup, let it cool down, and then fed a small bowl to Lu Jingmo's lips.
"Try it, is it ready?"
The little professor can eat anything he eats with relish, which always brings a great sense of accomplishment to the chef.
Seeing those eyes light up with joy, Gu Chuanbai also nodded with satisfaction, and put the tomato brisket juice in the pot on a plate. The rice was served, the crab roe and corn were placed on a plate, and a small bowl was specially set aside for Lu Jingmo, who liked sweets, in front of him.
Lu Jingmo had put aside the computer and sat at the table waiting for dinner. Gu Chuanbai simply packed up the kitchen utensils, sat down with him, smiled and was about to speak, but the phone on the table suddenly rang.
At this time, he received the news from Zhan Pei, which should have been a great disappointment, but Gu Chuanbai's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, and got up in a hurry: "Jingmo, you eat first, I will come back after I go to the laboratory— Come back soon! Wait for me, I have a surprise for you!"
Afraid that the other party was in a hurry, he deliberately repeated it a few times, and spun around excitedly with the person in his arms, before finally putting down the dizzy little professor, grabbing his clothes and hurried to the laboratory.
During these days of restless sleep, his heart and energy are almost all on this experiment, and he has made countless possible deductions.
Zhan Pei has the habit of signing the first author on students' papers, but that's okay. Gu Chuanbai just wants to do such a thing. As long as he can do it, he can truly find his strengths and directions in scientific research and take the safest first step.
He doesn't need Zhan Pei's guidance, and he can share more work. He can also share the maintenance work of the laboratory during the whole winter vacation.
As long as he can be approved to use the instruments and reagents in the laboratory, he can carry on the experiment all the way.
He wanted to see it again, the light in his little professor's eyes when he was standing in front of the huge console of the electron microscope that day.
Lu Jingmo was hugged and turned around five or six times, sitting at the table in a dizzy state.
Although Gu Chuanbai was busy these days, he was always full of energy. He could guess that the other party must be trying his best to save some surprises for him, and he had also bought Gu Chuanbai's roommate on the condition of less class, but he still couldn't get any definite answer.
According to the plot line, Gu Chuanbai's experiment was obstructed by his tutor, so that any accident happened, which only happened in the second grade.
Although he did intentionally give some guidance, if we want to use these sporadic guidance and the data obtained in Zhan Pei's laboratory, we can make a complete experimental design in the first half of the research. Gu Chuanbai's talent I'm afraid it's not much worse than the protagonist who hasn't entered school yet.
Feeling a little uneasy, Lu Jingmo sat down on the edge of the table, poured the soup of tomato and beef brisket on the rice, and asked the system in his mind: "Can I invade the monitoring of the electron microscope center?"
"Yes! I can also transfer to the White House Office!"
The system likes this kind of special agent-like task the most, and immediately turned two circles actively, quickly invaded the campus network through the wireless network, and called out the monitoring of the electron microscope center.
Lu Jingmo slowly picked up the meal, went through the images he saw in his mind, and zoomed in on a few of the screenshots. His expression changed slightly, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked out the door quickly.
Gu Chuanbai did make that experiment ahead of time.
Mentors also need to continue to publish papers. Zhan Pei often asks students to sign their first works, but this does not prevent students from doing experiments that have the potential to be published.
However, this experiment by Gu Chuanbai inadvertently partially overlapped the experimental process of data fraud in a previous paper by Zhan Pei, and obtained completely different results. The impact factor of that paper has reached 5 or 60. Once the truth is revealed, his achievements over the years may collapse and disillusion.
As long as Gu Chuanbai is still under Zhan Pei, this experiment will never be done.
Gu Chuanbai is now in the past, and Zhan Pei will try his best to pour cold water on his head. For a graduate student who has already seen through Zhan Pei in the second year of graduate school, and a student who has just entered the school full of hope and enthusiasm, the blow of this storm is completely different.
When I came out, I forgot to put on my coat, and when I closed the door, I felt a little cold. Lu Jingmo didn't have the time to go back to get his clothes, frowned, and raised his hand to the elevator panel.
He had to get there as soon as possible.
The sky was already dark, and the cool night wind pierced through the clothes, taking away some of the heat remaining on the body in a short time.
Lu Jingmo walked in a hurry, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. All the way to the Electron Microscope Center, I searched one by one in the corridor. Sure enough, I saw an office door half-closed, and the reprimand from inside was so loud that almost everyone could hear it clearly.
"... So ambitious, but so ignorant! What do you know now, how dare you tell me to do an experiment? It's too embarrassing to submit an experimental design of this level, but it's a nonsense. Do you expect me to correct the typo for you!"
Zhan Pei's slap clapped on the table and scolded the ignorant graduate student in front of him, but there was a tiny trace of anger in his eyes.
The experimental plan that Gu Chuanbai handed over was naturally not as ugly as he said, and even the design was full of aura, and there were many steps that even he could see.
But he also knows better than anyone that if this experiment goes on, his subsequent academic career will be ruined, and even his previous honors will not necessarily be overturned.
Those pages of the well-organized experimental plan were scattered on the ground, with half a shoe print on it, looking extremely embarrassed.
Gu Chuanbai's face turned red, and he stood opposite him with clenched teeth, clenching his fists even tighter.
Zhan Pei was frightened and angry, and when he scolded, he became more and more indifferent, and sneered coldly: "Did he follow your professor who is still nursing? How old is he, and what does he know? It's just that he was escorted all the way by some people. There are a few papers that I don't know who is ghostwriting, and I was invited in as a distinguished professor-"
"no."
Gu Chuanbai's voice was so hoarse that it was almost bleeding, and he finally interrupted him, his eyes darkened: "Professor Lu's talent is much stronger than you, and much stronger than you think, don't be because you haven't seen it. It's impossible to slander others..."
This was the first time he was confronted with such reckless abandon, Zhan Pei was so angry that he suddenly got up and raised his hand to fight.
Gu Chuanbai stood there, his eyes were hot, but his body was cold.
He is this person's graduate student, his future, his diploma, and all his hopes are in this person's hands.
It doesn't matter if the results of his hard work are trampled on, it doesn't matter if he is criticized as worthless, he can survive, he can guard the excess waste reagents and do experiments at night when no one is there, but if Zhan Pei is determined to suppress him, He may never get a graduate diploma in his life.
The future is collapsed and confused, and the last hope is also quietly disillusioned. He seems to have entered a dead end unknowingly, but he has just noticed it in time.
He has another agreement.
He had wanted to surprise his little professor.
The always straight shoulders slowly bent down, Gu Chuanbai closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and waited for the slap to come down, but a hand grabbed his wrist tightly.
The strength in that hand was almost impossible for him to react and resist, and it pulled him behind him. Gu Chuanbai's heart jumped, and he opened his eyes to look at the familiar figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, his throat suddenly became hoarse.
Lu Jingmo guarded him firmly, the other hand firmly clamped on Zhan Pei's wrist, the strength tightened, Zhan Pei even bared his teeth in pain and struggled desperately: "What are you doing! Who told you to come in - there is nothing here. your business!"
"My student is being bullied here, I'm his teacher, and I don't think it's not my business."
Lu Jingmo spoke word by word, his voice cold as if he had been dipped in an ice spring.
He didn't hold the opponent's wrist any more, he just leaned down and squatted down, picking up the pages one by one, and brushing the dusty areas with the palm of his hand.
Gu Chuanbai's chest suddenly heaved violently, and he stepped forward to grab those pieces of paper and torn them up. However, Lu Jingmo had already turned his arms to hide behind his back, and gently closed him with one hand: "Teacher see, teacher wants to see."
His tone softened, revealing the hoarseness that had not yet eased from the two classes this afternoon.
Gu Chuanbai moved for a while, followed his strength and slowly slowed down, looking at the pair of still soft and soft black eyes, his body suddenly couldn't stop trembling.
Lu Jingmo took his hand, shook it twice in a soothing way, and turned to look at Zhan Pei: "Give me his student status."
"You want to take him?"
Zhan Pei raised his eyebrows, his face suddenly filled with sarcasm, and he snorted coldly: "Professor Lu, this is University Z! Let's not say whether you are qualified to take students now, even if you are, according to our school's rules, graduate students will be transferred. Mentors must also have the consent of the original mentor—you understand?”
"Don't you agree?"
Lu Jingmo's eyes swept over him, his tone was still calm, but Zhan Pei was inexplicably chilled: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, there is surveillance here, don't try to—"
"Professor Zhan, don't worry."
Lu Jingmo lowered his gaze, carefully folded the sheets of paper, and put them in his shirt pocket: "Do you dare to let Chuan Bai repeat the experiment on the paper you published in "CELL"?"
Repeated experiments are the litmus test for fake papers. Zhan Pei's paper has not been successfully repeated for many years, and he has been looking for an excuse that the variables are difficult to control and the experimental conditions cannot be completely repeated.
He had also been apprehensive for several years at the beginning. Over the years, the original hot spots have gradually become outdated, and the papers are no longer mentioned. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after all, there was still a shadow in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that when he saw the experimental plan handed in by Gu Chuanbai, he suddenly became so embarrassed that he would do anything.
Lu Jingmo's voice was not high, but Zhan Pei's eyes widened instantly, and deep horror revealed deep in his eyes: "Professor Lu, what do you mean?! That's a biochemical test, not what your plant laboratory should do! You do this with school money—"
"I have a private lab."
Lu Jingmo is not good at arguing with others. At this point, he has reached the limit. He lowered his head slightly and staggered his eyes, and responded slowly.
The villain is to be left to the future protagonist. He has not decided to start here, but a scum like Zhan Pei, if he stays for another year, he will harm another group of students.
Since it is impossible to peacefully hand over the graduate students of the other party, we can only get rid of this scum as soon as possible.
The system was also frightened by his decision, aware that the host was not in a good mood, and the mechanical voice stammered and carefully reminded: "Su, host, this is an important episode of Su Shuang's abuse later, the protagonist is going to bully the villain... "
"I know, if you give me the system number of the protagonist, I will compensate him for experience points."
Lu Deng replied calmly in his mind, ignoring the shock of the buffering system, he looked up at Zhan Pei, whose face was ashen, and stretched out his hand to Gu Chuanbai, his eyes became warm again: "Go, go back with the teacher."
Gu Chuanbai looked up at him, but his body was still too stiff to move. Lu Jingmo simply leaned over and took his hand, led him out of the office, and walked all the way out.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and the busy graduate students in the laboratory stuck their heads out and hurriedly retracted their heads. In the already numb and dull eyes, there was a faint glimmer of envy that was not easily detectable.
Gu Chuanbai was led by him through the long white corridor and out of the door of the laboratory building.
The wind was cold outside, but the street lamps were glowing with warm yellow light.
Lu Jingmo wore less clothes, and he was shocked when the wind blew. Gu Chuanbo suddenly returned to his senses, and quickly took off his coat to wrap him up, but Lu Jingmo lightly held his arm: "Get dressed, I'm fine."
Gu Chuanbai looked at him without moving, but his cold body gradually warmed up.
The intense grief broke through the ice block, but the numb dull pain gradually sharpened, and the knife slashed back and forth in his chest, slashing his throat with blood, and his body fell down unsupported.
Lu Jingmo hugged him in time.
With his chest close to each other, surrounded by the familiar temperature, Gu Chuanbai's breathing was faintly rapid.
The body hugging him was also slightly chilled by the night wind, but the strength between his arms was still steady.
The softness and relaxation that only appeared when the two were alone faded away, and the young professor in front of him appeared distinctly quiet and reliable, with a stubborn lip line, and Wen Xiu's brows revealed unquestionable firmness.
Gu Chuanbai's lips began to tremble, and the air trembled in his throat twice before he finally called out in a hoarse voice: "Teacher..."
"The teacher is here."
Lu Jingmo pressed his words to the end, tightened his arms, and was about to speak again, but there was a low, uncontrollable choking in his ears: "Teacher, I'm uncomfortable..."
"The teacher knows."
Lu Jingmo responded, hugged him fully into his arms, and patted him lightly behind his back: "Teacher hugs, it's not uncomfortable for teachers to hug..."
Still not good at comforting, Lu Deng could only try his best to use his body to warm the other's stiff and cold body. Until the body in his arms gradually warmed up, the throbbing that seemed to burst from his bones gradually calmed down.
Lu Deng still held him firmly.
He doesn't usually quarrel with others. This time, he came to support Gu Chuanbai. He didn't know how he behaved, and he probably didn't do it very well.
But he had to come, and he had to bring people back well.
As a teacher, you must protect your students.
Finally breaking free from the intense emotional outburst, Gu Chuanbai's eyes gradually became clear, only to find that Lu Jingmo's body was freezing cold, and the color of his lips had faded.
Seemingly unaware of his own situation, Lu Jingmo still stared at him earnestly.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that Gu Chuanbai finally calmed down that Lu Jingmo's brows finally relaxed into a soft smile, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and said softly, "It's not uncomfortable anymore."
The warm current pouring into his heart melted away the frost in an instant, and even the bloody wounds seemed to be comforted quietly. Gu Chuanbai stared at him in a daze, and the light in the bottom of his pupil gradually lit up.
Reluctantly raised the corners of his lips, Gu Chuanbai nodded vigorously, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and went to help his little professor: "I don't feel bad anymore, it's not at all, let's go back..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jingmo had already leaned into his arms, lowered his head against his shoulder, and couldn't help coughing violently with a dry throat.
