Zhuang Yi asked him why.
He didn't know why.
If he knew, he wouldn't be lying in Zhuang Yi's arms with a lot of sorrow now, knowing that he should push away, but he is reluctant to push away.
Xun Yuming originally thought that this matter would never be brought up, would never be uncovered, that he and Zhuang Yi should have been like two parallel lines, never intersecting again. But fate always seems to circle a person's life trajectory in a paradoxical way, going round and round and finally returning to the original place.
"I just feel a little sorry for you, even if I barely make up for it."
"Because you dumped me when I was down and down, did you find a way to be kind to me?"
Zhuang Yi's chin was resting on his head, his heart was full of laughter, and the cramping pain just now seemed to have eased. Xun Yuming opened his eyes, his cheek was pressed against his chest, and his eyelashes tickled him slightly.
"Matthew turned out to be the head of the neuroscience laboratory at the medical school. I just mentioned you to him and asked him to keep an eye on you."
Zhuang Yi was angry and resentful, but he had nothing to do with him: "Do you know that this kind of gray transaction is likely to be regarded as bribery, and once the DA files a lawsuit against you, you will be finished!"
Once this kind of thing is discovered, let alone winning a prize now, he is afraid that his whole life will be over.
"I didn't pay bribes." Xun Yuming argued anxiously, frowning in pain as his body moved.
Zhuang Yi hurriedly held him down, and heard him say: "I...he was the one who blackmailed me, I didn't bribe him!"
Xun Yuming cherished his feathers more than his life, and would never do such a self-destructive thing. He covered his stomach with one hand and pointed to the computer. Zhuang Yi understood and brought it for him. Seeing him entering the password without thinking, the corners of his mouth could not help but hook.
"Look." Xun Yuming didn't have the mood to smile, "The date of this transfer agreement is after you are admitted."
Zhuang Yi looked at the lower right corner of the screen, he calculated the date on it last night, it was the third year of Xun Yuming's Ph. Xun Yuming’s PhD was at the same time as he transferred to Dartmouth to study for a master’s degree, and he returned to Stanford in the second year. The time Xun Yuming transferred the patent to Matthew was a whole day later than he got the chance to take the exam and was admitted. for a year.
It's not logical.
Xun Yuming clicked on the confidentiality agreement and showed him: "Look at the date of this, it is also that day."
Zhuang Yi glanced at it, it was also March 20, 2013.
"I heard that he joined the admissions team, and I did ask him." Xun Yuming closed the computer and explained, "But I didn't promise him anything, I just told him that there is a student like you with excellent grades. Well, he used to win a football bowl game. He only promised me to keep an eye on it, not promise to let you into the school."
During that time, the "Nerve Regeneration" project submitted by Xun Yuming did not improve at all, and Matthew did not have any unreasonable thoughts about his research, but after this incident, Xun Yuming was enslaved even harder. In order to reduce expenditures, Let him handle all the work of the three people by himself, and let him be responsible for the cleaning of the laboratory. As for buying coffee and buying meals, most of the tutors will order students to do it, needless to say.
Things changed in the spring of the second year, when Xun Yuming's research gradually improved. "Nerve regeneration" has always been a controversial topic. Some people said it was impossible, while others held the opposite attitude. As soon as Xun Yuming's patent application was successful, it caused a lot of shock in the neurology circle, and it was attracting much attention at that time.
Matthew Torres didn't take this matter to heart at first, but later he found out that this topic was a hit, so he began to hint to Xun Yuming from time to time.
Xun Yuming was doing research under him, so he couldn't offend this great Buddha, not to mention that he was kind to himself, so he could only hide from time to time, trying to minimize the number of times he met him, and pretended to listen to his "speaking words". don't know.
But things in the world are often like this, and there is no escape. Seeing that he was so "uninterested", Matthew gradually changed his attitude. He said negative and positive words to Xun Yuming. The researchers pushed him aside.
Xun Yuming remained unmoved.
As a result, a week later, the laboratory issued an announcement on the school website and removed him on the grounds that he violated the regulations and sold public technical achievements.
Xun Yuming is more stubborn than a cow when he is stubborn. Once he has decided on something, he will not change his mind easily, and he will never give up, unless he thinks he is wrong. In this matter, he was innocent and completely innocent, so naturally he refused to let it go. On the day the announcement came out, he went to the school affairs office to complain to Matthew in real name.
Matthew Torres received an investigation notice from the school office and invited him to a coffee shop in San Francisco that night. Xun Yuming was not afraid of the shadow slanting, he came out of the clinic after finishing his volunteer work, and went to the appointment.
He still remembers that conversation to this day. Matthew was surprisingly kind, and he acted like a teacher should be throughout the whole process. He smiled and said to him: "You are still young, and you still have a future. There is no need to ruin your reputation for a little thing. Once If the crime of selling technological achievements is confirmed, your future will be ruined. That patent is nothing to you. Life is so long, there is no need to give up your future for him. Besides... "
He said: "Last year you asked me to enroll your boyfriend. You want to spread this matter to the school. What will happen? When you are in my position, you will know that rules are just used by some people to frame others. People’s tools. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else, I just remind you as a person who has experienced that what a person has can be lost in an instant.”
For example, Zhuang Yi's doctorate.
Matthew Torres.
Matthew comes from the "Bible", one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, which means "the gift of God"; Torres comes from Latin, a surname commonly used by priests, instead of God to shepherd the children for whom he shed blood and died.
He crossed his knees, held a cup of coffee, and stared at Xun Yuming tenderly and compassionately, he was really elegant and handsome.
Xun Yuming stared at him blankly, and understood for the first time what "human face and animal heart" meant.
"Later I gave him the patent. He was afraid that I would tell the truth and forced me to sign a non-disclosure agreement. But I never bribed him. I'm not that stupid."
After Zhuang Yi listened to his narration, he was silent for a moment.
After a long time, he said, "Why do you..."
Why bother.
He said why.
Xun Yuming smiled, there is no need for love, but it just happened.
"You don't have to take it to heart." He waved his hand and said casually, "I couldn't have imagined what happened next. If I had known that these things would happen, I wouldn't have asked him to help you. So in sum, I didn't even think about it. It's unintentional."
Intentionally or unintentionally, the result is that he lost the patent. Zhuang Yi smiled and said: "I am willing to accept your love, this is also my own business, and has nothing to do with you."
He took away the lunch box Haiwan brought in the afternoon, went to the kitchen to warm it again, and brought it back again: "Eat some, or it will hurt again later. Lao Zhan explained that you must pay attention to your diet in the future. Otherwise, your stomach will bleed." It is very likely to turn into stomach cancer, you know this better than me."
Xun Yuming was not hungry at all, he was in pain all afternoon and had no appetite, but he couldn't stand Zhuang Yi's persuasion, so he had to bite the bullet and eat two bites. Zhuang Yi put the porridge into a white porcelain bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew it cool and fed it to him.
His brows were a little wrinkled, and his blowing movements were cautious, more focused than Xun Yuming's operation, "Be careful of burning."
Xun Yuming swallowed with his mouth open, stretched out his hand, and brushed between his brows, unable to restrain himself. Zhuang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked warmly, "Can you pinch mosquitoes to death?"
When Zhuang Yi frowned when he was in school, Xun Yuming brushed his eyebrows away and teased him: "It can kill mosquitoes."
When mentioning the past, both of them felt dazed for a moment. Zhuang Yi cleared his throat, and after feeding half a bowl of porridge, he took out a red snake fruit from the fruit basket brought by the bay, and said, "Peel an apple for you, you can have it for dinner Too little."
He hurried into the kitchen, his back looked a little panicked. Xun Yuming withdrew his gaze, opened WeChat on his phone, and zoomed in on his profile picture, which was also a bright red snake fruit. He sighed secretly and turned off the phone.
Zhuang Yi cut the fruit and brought it out, his expression was normal, "Let's eat with a fork."
The apples in the small dish were cut into pieces, and a toothpick was forked on it. As soon as it came into contact with the air, the surface of the apples turned yellow, showing how sweet it was. Xun Yuming ate two pieces and said, "I sent you the research I'm doing in the laboratory the day before yesterday, have you read it?"
"I read it." Zhuang Yi nodded and said frankly, "But I didn't understand it."
"What don't you understand?" He is now a funder, and Xun Yuming is obliged to be responsible to him, "Let me see."
Zhuang Yi opened the mailbox on his mobile phone, clicked on the email and said: "I understand the idea of nerve transplantation, but I am a little confused about the 'discharge' section. There is also the topic of nerve regeneration itself."
Xun Yuming nodded and said, "I know, it's very controversial."
In fact, the "Nature" magazine just denied the possibility of "neural regeneration" not long ago, announcing that once formed, adult neurons will not change again, but will only establish new connections.
Xun Yuming had already written his thoughts into a paper, so he found it and sent it to him at this moment, "Look at this first, and then talk about it if you have any questions."
After saying that, the phone beeped, and he clicked on the message page.
Ren Xueyuan: "I heard that you are sick, I want to see you."
"Hmm... read the thesis, I'll go to the bathroom." Xun Yuming hurriedly put the phone in his pocket, stood up slowly with the support of the wall.
Zhuang Yi helped him up, sent him to the bathroom, and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No need." Xun Yuming blushed, it's not like he broke his hand.
After locking the door, he took out his mobile phone and replied, "No, I'm fine."
"tick."
Two seconds later, Ren Xueyuan said, "But I've already arrived at the door."
"..."
The door rang twice, followed by Zhuang Yi's footsteps, Xun Yuming quietly opened the door, only to see Ren Xueyuan standing outside with an umbrella in his hands, all wet.
Zhuang Yi invited him into the room and closed the door with a bang. Ren Xueyuan put down the gift and said with a smile: "How is Doctor Xun doing? Look, if you didn't let me go that day, I'm fine now!"
Said, looked at Zhuang Yi.
"When did I let you go?" Xun Yuming looked at Zhuang Yi in confusion.
Zhuang Yi: "..."
