After returning from Sierra Leone, Nan Zhiqiao was first busy dealing with Dr. Mu's funeral, and then dealing with the new virus at Guojing Medical Center.

The outbreak in the small town of Case is over, but research into the new virus has only just begun.

The causative agent responsible for the outbreak in Case is a newly discovered member of the genus Filovirus, which is very different from the other two members of the same genus, Marburg virus and Ebola virus.

It is customary to name the new virus after the place where it was first discovered, and the new virus is named after the place name of the small town of Case.

The new virus isolated from patients Ayrus, Kay, Kupper, Li Gang, Dr. Merck, and Dr. Mu was named after them.

Among them, the strain isolated from Dr. Mu's body was kept in the No. 1 base of Tinder.

At the same time, a series of research work on new viruses has begun, including the study of the biological characteristics and pathogenicity of new viruses, and the research of vaccines and specific drugs for new viruses......

This kind of research will be a long-term process.

After Dr. Mu's death, there was no specific person in charge of the Tinder No. 1 base, and after thinking about it, Nan Zhiqiao decided to let Secretary Li and Professor Bavar be responsible for the operation of the base at the same time.

In the experimental group of Nan Zhiqiao of the CDC in China, there was no error because the mentor left for more than a month.

The progress of the students' experiments was carried out according to plan, and the only thing that the students felt strange was the mood of their mentor Nan Zhiqiao after returning to China.

Although Nan Zhiqiao is usually more serious and introverted, he rarely shows his inner emotions on his face, but after returning from Sierra Leone this time, Nan Zhiqiao is sullen, there is always sadness in his eyes, and he speaks much less than before.

The students all felt the changes in Nan Zhiqiao, and as Nan Zhiqiao's fiancée, Ye Zhenzhen felt more deeply,

Zhen Zhen knew the crux of Nan Zhiqiao's heart, he was blaming himself for Dr. Mu's death, he controlled the epidemic, thinking that he had saved Dr. Mu from the hellish epidemic, but he didn't expect to die in the end at the hands of an inexplicable drunk, which made Nan Zhiqiao unacceptable.

Ye Zhenzhen wants to unravel Nan Zhiqiao, but it is not easy to let go of the knot.

Grandpa Nan also noticed the changes in his grandson Nan Zhiqiao, and knew that Dr. Mu's death was a big blow to his grandson, so he thought of a way to find Nan Zhiqiao's hair - Liang Chen.

According to Grandpa Nan's meaning, it is to let Liang Chen find an excuse to take Nan Zhiqiao and his friends to leave Beijing and go to other places to relax.

Liang Chen agreed.

According to Liang Chen's temperament, the place to relax was in the Maldives abroad, and there were only four people who went: Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen, Liang Chen and You Kexin.

Liang Chen called this time a trip abroad for a distraction, and called it "a four-person date".

Liang Chen made a plan and did not invite Nan Zhiqiao directly, but discussed it with Kexin and Zhen Zhen first.

You Kexin is naturally full of joy, but Zhen Zhen is a little embarrassed, with his own understanding of Nan Zhiqiao, since he entered the China CDC to work, he has never asked for leave for personal matters, let alone take leave to travel.

Ye Zhenzhen expressed her concerns, but Liang Chen said: "It's because of this that I didn't directly tell Zhi Qiao about going out to relax, we all know that he is a workaholic, and Grandpa Nan also knows it, so we asked us to come forward to organize this trip, and our hope is pinned on you." ”

"I'm not sure I'll be able to get him to go with you. Ye Zhenzhen shook her head.

"It's not 'you', it's 'us', and now the three of us are on one front. Liang Chen pointed to himself, and then pointed at Kexin and Zhen Zhen, saying that the three of them should work together to facilitate this foreign trip.

You Kexin suddenly said: "Zhen Zhen, don't you have any public holidays in your institution, it's almost the end of the year, you can just take a public vacation, you have been working for a year, you can take a public vacation, the one in your family, the working hours are longer, and the public vacation will be longer." ”

"There are public holidays, but Senior Nan has never taken this kind of leave. ”

"That's why we asked you to persuade him, and Zhiqiao must listen to you. Liang Chen continued to assign the task to Ye Zhenzhen.

"I'm just his research assistant, so I can't force him to take a vacation. ”

"However, you are still his girlfriend and fiancée, this identity is the most effective, since ancient times, the hero has been sad to pass the beauty pass, as long as you are coquettish to him, he will definitely agree immediately. Liang Chen gave Zhen Zhen an idea.

"Coquettish?!Does this work?"

"It works! It definitely works, I'll give you a look at it every time you are coquettish to me, you only need to learn half of it to work. ”

Liang Chen made an exaggerated look, and after holding on for less than two seconds, he was slapped on the head by You Kexin, and then he heard Kexin's scolding voice: "This is the way you look at me every time!"

Kexin and Liang Chen, the two fought together.

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, every couple has their own mode of getting along, Liang Chen and Kexin are like thunder and fire, they stick together every day when they are good, and they quarrel when they quarrel, and what about herself and Senior Nan?

The result of the final discussion between the three of them was that Zhen Zhen was responsible for convincing Nan Zhiqiao, Liang Chen was responsible for the itinerary arrangement, and Kexin was responsible for the preparation of travel materials.

In the end, Liang Chen said to Zhen Zhen, "Sister Zhen Zhen, no matter what method you use, as long as you express your concern for Zhi Qiao, I think he will definitely agree." ”

——

When he went to work the next day, Nan Zhiqiao arrived at the China CDC central laboratory half an hour earlier as usual.

Nan Zhiqiao entered the office and turned on the computer, Ye Zhenzhen took advantage of the gap in the morning to take a glass of freshly heated milk and put it on Nan Zhiqiao's desk.

"Senior Nan, I see that your appetite is not very good these days, drinking a cup of warm milk in the morning is good for your health. ”

"Thank you. Nan Zhiqiao smiled slightly, looking at Zhen Zhen in front of him, and there was warmth in his sad eyes.

"Drink it now. Ye Zhenzhen stood at the desk and did not leave, because she wanted to see Nan Zhiqiao finish drinking the milk with her own eyes.

Nan Zhiqiao was very obedient, picked up the milk cup, and drank it in one go.

returned the empty milk cup to Zhen Zhen, but the woman in front of her still had no intention of leaving.

According to her previous work habits, Ye Zhenzhen would change into a lab coat and enter the laboratory to work at this time, but today she has been standing here, wanting to speak and stopping.

Nan Zhiqiao asked, "Zhen Zhen, is there something wrong with you?"

Ye Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Liang Chen and Kexin asked the two of us to go on a four-person trip together. ”

"What does 'four-person travel' mean?" Nan Zhiqiao asked rhetorically.

"It's the meaning of a four-person date, four people, two couples, going out together. ”

"Oh. Nan Zhiqiao didn't say to go, and he didn't say no.
