Chapter 384: Gathering Less
Fortunately, these days when she is the busiest, Nanzhiyi is not in the capital.
He went on a business trip again, and during the more than a month of rest that began in September, he had a mountain of work on his hands, and as the person in charge, he could not rely on it.
So after returning from the imperial capital, the main focus of his work was to pay off his debts, and he took a group of doctors and monks on a business trip, and he had been gone for almost a week.
Before leaving, he was very worried that Ling Li was at home alone, not only brought back the rice grains Guli who had been happy in Nanxi, but also used his power for personal gain, and asked the two students to come over to accompany Ling Li every night.
Thinking of this, Ling Li's brows furrowed, and his heart sank.
Lu Peng, who was sent by Nan Zhiyi to accompany her, has always been friendly to her, and she has no opinions, but the other student called by Nan Zhiyi is Tao Xing.
Since Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi both appeared in front of the students, Nan Zhiyi's words were always thorny and unfriendly to her after she was injured, and her attitude seemed to have eased a lot.
At least when facing Ling Li, Tao Xing greeted her with a smile as usual.
However, she never changed her name to call Ling Li her teacher like other students, but called Sister Fan according to her previous name.
Ling Li was silent on the surface, Tao Xing smiled at her, and she would also respond with a smile; Tao Xing called her Sister Fan, and she agreed-the two of them were peaceful on the surface, but it was just for Nan Zhiyi's face.
Ling Li was very aware of Tao Xing's resentment and unfriendliness towards her, and gradually came back to her senses, Tao Xing was afraid that she had already had a strange mind about Nan Zhiyi.
She originally wanted to talk to Nan Zhiyi about her doubts and let Nan Zhiyi stay away from Tao Xing, but when she thought of his work piling up and a bunch of people staring at him to produce results, if you add this mess of students having a crush on the teacher, if you want to stir up something else, it will be more than worth the loss.
She can trust Nan Zhiyi, and she is also convinced that Tao Xing has no chance to succeed - there are more than a dozen students by Nan Zhiyi's side every day, and they basically have no time to be alone, this time, for Ling Li's safety, Nan Zhiyi also specially left Tao Xing to accompany her.
In his mind, it is easy to see which is more important.
In that case, why should she bother with Tao Xing?
But when there was no one, Tao Xing looked at her eyes, and the occasional trace of grievance always made her a little frightened.
However, whatever she was afraid of came, she just pushed the door out to wash her face, and Tao Xing walked out of the guest bathroom.
She didn't expect to meet Ling Li in the corridor, she was stunned, snorted lightly, and walked straight to the room - the whole process, Ling Li was ignored.
Ling Li took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness and irritability in her heart. After that, she made up her mind that if Nan Zhiyi went on a business trip next time, she wouldn't stay alone at home in the empty room.
Either she will go back to her uncle's house, or she will follow him with her dead face, in short, she doesn't want to be under the same roof with Tao Xing.
This time, Nan Zhiyi went on a business trip and came back for half a month, which also allowed Ling Li to enjoy half a month of being quenched by Tao Xing's eyes.
When Nanzhiyi came back, it was evening, and he was dusty, but he looked in good spirits.
As soon as he entered the door, he yelled and drove away a few students who helped him carry his luggage upstairs, and then drove away Tao Xing and Lu Peng, who had just returned from walking their dogs.
After that, he didn't take a bath, so he hugged Ling Li, who was still working overtime in the study, and refused to let go.
"Don't make a fuss," Ling Li typed hard, "wait until I'm done writing my defense." β
Nan Zhiyi didn't follow, put his arm around her neck and licked the tips of her ears, and said, "Don't you want me?" I haven't seen you for half a month, so you don't want to hug me? β
Since falling in love, Ling Li has always felt that Nan Zhiyi's mind has regressed greatly.
When she didn't scare her, she completely degenerated into a child, she would be coquettish with her, kissing, hugging, and touching her head, except for being strong in a specific matter, the rest of the time always gave Ling Li the illusion that she had a son.
Ling Li sighed helplessly: "I'm still busy, can I talk about it later?" β
Nan Zhiyi was obedient, obediently oh, and sat quietly next to her, not moving.
Ling Li typed a paragraph, frowning and reading over and over again to modify the places that were not very smooth, when he suddenly heard the older children in their thirties beside him stumbling through the pockets on their bodies, as if they were turning over something.
"Looking for what?" There was something strange about her.
Nan Zhiyi lowered her head and didn't speak, first she didn't know where to find a leaf vein bookmark made of golden ginkgo biloba and put it on her computer keyboard: "This is a wild ginkgo biloba in the deep mountains, it is very beautiful, I wanted to bring it back to show you, so I made it into a bookmark." β
Then, he took out a bag from the inner bag of his jacket and smiled at her: "This is the pear blossom candy from Ganluo, it's delicious." β
Ling Li was holding a bookmark to read, and when she heard that he had brought back candy, she was stunned: "How old are you and you still love to eat these?" β
"For you," he tucked the bag into her hand, and continued, "I notice that you often get up and get dizzy, do you have low blood sugar?" The sugar is not too sweet, but it is fragrant enough. You take it with you, and if you feel uncomfortable, you eat one. β
I only felt a warm current in my heart, she took the candy and put it down, and involuntarily got up and hugged him.
Nan Zhiyi didn't expect that a bag of candy could be exchanged for her true feelings, and she was a little surprised. However, he immediately buried his face in Ling Li's neck socket, rubbed it, and then took a deep breath and said, "It's so fragrant." β
This couldn't help but be soft-hearted, and in the next situation, Ling Li completely lost control.
Late at night, Ling Li's hair was messy on the pillow, frowning.
Lu Xiaoxiao is really an old driver, and she can see through the essence at a glance.
How long has it been? Someone went from being ignorant to being able to bully her very badly.
Now in this situation, let alone working overtime, the ingredients prepared for his return in the kitchen are not used, and dinner is solved by takeout.
Being entangled in a gummy man is really a delay.
The next day, Ling Li struggled to prop up her body with her messy hair, lifted the curtains and looked at the white sky outside the window.
Since the alarm clock has gone off, let's get up, but unexpectedly, as soon as we got together, I was dragged back to the bed by someone's claws.
"If you don't sleep on weekends, it's thundering, lady, don't be the one who will let your husband suffer God's curse."
Someone's mouth was confused, his arm wrapped around her shoulder, and half of his body pressed against her shoulder, making her unable to exert her strength.
Ling Li scoffed: "How to make breakfast if you don't get up?" What do you eat? I've been so thin that I don't dare to be a bone specimen anymore. β
As he spoke, he got up again.
They were about to crawl out of the bed, but they were dragged back by the cheaper people.
"Dislike me?" He rubbed his hands together and smiled evilly, "Then I'm really going to verify it."
Ling Li is too afraid of itching, even if she has more strength than ordinary girls and has a little capital to resist, she has been held by him again and again with her most deadly vein, and she has been laughing softly, and she has no strength to resist.
He leaned on her neck and sniffed deeply, with a smile in his voice: "This little tomato is so fragrant, I can eat this enough." β
After coaxing the gummy man to get up and serving lunch, Ling Li thought that he had time to do something at work.
Unexpectedly, looking at the string of dirty footprints that continued from upstairs to downstairs, new hatreds and old hatreds emerged in my head.
Ling Li was angry, jumped up and pinched someone's neck who never wore shoes: "You giant baby, you don't know how to cherish the fruits of other people's labor!" β
Nan Zhiyi read the book and said with difficulty: "You are guilty of shaking the baby excessively." β
When it was time for dinner, Ling Li was still a little angry.
Nan Zhiyi was rarely quiet: "I may be busy for a while next." I can only promise to go home at night, maybe I can't accompany you on weekends and holidays, and dinner may only be solved in the laboratory. β
Ling Li's eyelids jumped: "Why?" β
Nan Zhiyi sighed lightly: "Do you know what academic competition is? β
An hour later, after listening to Nan Zhiyi's analysis of the challenges faced by Nan Zhiyi in a project and the subsequent work arrangement, Ling Li only felt breathless.
Back when she hadn't been involved in the dispute between Yamazaki Seed Minami no Yi, she thought that the world of scientists was pure and focused, and even if there was such a lawsuit, she only thought it was an exception.
Unexpectedly, she was still too naΓ―ve.
It turns out that there is still so much twists and turns in the academic field, and the cruelty is beyond her imagination.
Nanzhiyi has been following a project for five years, and a cut of the beard came out halfway.
It was an Australian university, and I don't know why the claws stretched out to the field that Nanzhiyi is good at, and I don't know where to get the data from his previous experiments, so he started a new experiment directly on the basis of their experiments in the previous years.
Once the party has come up with the results and published them first, Nanzhiyi's five-year follow-up project will be completely nullified.
In short, whoever makes the results of similar projects first and applies for a patent first will win, and the rest will lose all their money.
Judging from the current results, the team led by Nan Zhiyi is slightly ahead, but it is not clear whether the other party deliberately concealed the progress and took it by surprise in the end.
If it succeeds, the five years of research will be in vain.
Ling Li pursed her lips: "Why do people always like to get something for nothing?" I like to rob other people's things! β
Nan Zhiyi's eyes sank slightly: "I only learned yesterday that the person behind this academic competition is Mu Chenghua. β
"Mu Chenghua?" Ling Li was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "Is that Mu Chenghua?" β
He nodded and said, "I really don't know what he means, why do you keep holding me back?" β
Ling Li was also in a bad mood.
The ghost of the person who once set Nan Zhiyi is still lingering, and now, it is he who has intensified the competition between the two project teams that were originally peaceful.
Steady down, she first silently cheered herself up, then took a few deep breaths, raised her head and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I believe you can beat him!" It's okay for you to move to the lab, I'll just come to see you every day. β
Nan Zhiyi smiled, his eyes brightened: "It's not that exaggerated, I still have the confidence to be the first to produce results." It's just that these days, I'm going to wronged you again. β
Ling Li gritted her teeth and crossed her waist: "Lao Tian said, you go out to fight the bad guys, and I will take care of the little monsters." Don't worry, it's going to be fine. β
Her expression was quite serious, she looked like she was full of electricity, and the appearance of being provoked by him just afternoon no longer existed, and there was only a bluff that warmed his heart.
couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her neatly tied hair, and he chuckled: "This year's Spring Festival, will you go back to your hometown with me?" β
"Huh?" Ling Li was in high spirits, and suddenly heard him coldly mention this question that she had never thought about, and she was still a little confused.
I met my parents half a month ago, and now there are three months left until the Spring Festival, so he has started to plan? Isn't it too early?
Seeing that she had become fluffy and silly again, Nan Zhiyi picked up a piece of mushrooms that looked very good on the plate, gently put it in her bowl, and said, "The doctor said that grandma is afraid that time is running out, so let her go back and take a look while she can still move." My dad also said that the south is warm, and grandma can go back and see her relatives, and it's good to have a wish. β
Ling Li's heart sank: "What? β
Nan Zhiyi sighed lightly: "The imperial capital is sad in winter, and Lu Jinran is arranging for grandma to go back there for the winter." In addition, my dad said that it was time to go back to worship his ancestors this year, so he would spend the Spring Festival in Huacheng this year. Would you like to go back with me? β
Ling Li's face involuntarily turned red, and her voice was like a gnat: "Is this good?" β
She seems to have heard Tian Zhengyan mention that Nanzhiyi's family is a big family in the hometown in the south, the kind of ancestors who have produced big officials, and the relatives of the same branch are only afraid of a lot. Moreover, there are many rules and customs in the south, and she has heard of it a little.
She, a country girl who doesn't understand the rules, will she embarrass Nan Zhiyi?
Nan Zhiyi understood what she was worried about, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said, "What are you afraid of?" With my wonderful flower at the bottom, it doesn't matter what shocking things you do. β
She thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "Hmm! β
