Liang Yan has been in England for almost two years, and the scene of her leaving her country to put down roots in this country with a lot of pain is now blurred because she came in a hurry.

Liang Yan lived in the dormitory arranged for her by the research institute. This is a legendary slum. There is no way, the funds of the research group are pitiful, in addition to their daily scientific research work, they occasionally have to do some odd jobs to get by, but fortunately, the leaders are very good.

Across the door lived an elderly couple named Smith, who were a family of Dinks, who had no children but a husky, and lived on a pension for the rest of their lives. Liang Yan occasionally goes over to cook some Chinese food for them when she has free time, and they like it very much and will take the initiative to contract the work of buying vegetables. When Liang Yan first moved in, they enthusiastically told Liang Yan where to buy groceries would be cheaper, how to pay utility bills, etc., which made Liang Yan a lot less trouble, so Liang Yan was very grateful to the Smith couple.

Liang Yan gets up early every morning to go to the institute to supervise graduate student experiments, and can only go home in the evening. Her right hand is completely useless, and she feels that it hurts a lot after holding a pen for a long time, at this time, Liang Yan has no choice but to take a painkiller, even if she knows that it is not good for her health.

Tomorrow is Christmas, and every family is busy decorating their homes. Liang Yan lives here alone, so she doesn't have this kind of thought. She looked at the goose feathers and snow outside, sighed softly, and was about to negotiate with the cooperative research institute, but she had no confidence at all. The other party relied on his own money and efforts, and wanted to snatch Liang Yan's latest paper as his own achievement.

Liang Yan is the representative of the Chinese side, and her subordinates are all young graduate students, and there is no one with status, Shen Lei said that he wanted to come over to help her, but Liang Yan refused, what is the use? Liang Yan decided to fight for it again, so she raised her feet and walked towards the graduate student like fate.

"Adam, you all know that this paper was completely done by me and my team, we can write your names in the third and fourth authors, and we will also write clearly in the article the contribution of your institute to this article, but we have to snatch the article and delete all our names, sorry, we can't do it."

This British man is almost two heads taller than Liang Yan, and his body is almost twice that of Liang Yan, and the man who is usually polite doesn't even give her a straight look now: "How can this article be said to be yours?" All the tools you use to conduct experiments are the property of our institute. And we have been working together on this project for so long, this is the first result, shouldn't it be ours? Speaking of this, he paused, stopped typing on the keyboard and glanced at Liang Yan's right hand, "Or can you not rely on us to do experiments in the future?" ”

This sentence hit Liang Yan's sore foot, she suddenly had no words to go back, and in the end, Liang Yan didn't know how she got out of the research institute.

She looked up at the sky outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was now close to midnight, and the festive atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger at this time of Christmas Eve in England. Liang Yan took out her mobile phone and called Shen Lei: "Teacher Shen, let's stop cooperating with the institute, let's do it ourselves." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, they have invested all their energy in this research group in the past two years, and now they are finally starting to have results, if they suddenly stop cooperating, funds may be very tight, but Liang Yan will not be willful for no reason, giving such a proposal, she must have her own ideas, this is Shen Lei's cognition of Liang Yan for so many years.

After a long time, Liang Yan was about to hang up the phone, and Shen Lei's voice came: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Liang Yan returned to her dormitory, opposite Mr. and Mrs. Smith were working together to move a small Christmas tree to the door as an ornament, and when they saw Liang Yan coming back, they smiled and invited her to their home for the holiday, but Liang Yan refused. Mrs. Smith also handed Liang Yan a red apple: "Liang Yan, Happy Christmas Eve!" So Mr. Smith helped them back to their home. Liang Yan looked at the apple in her hand, her eyes were astringent, her happiness was not in the UK, and her happiness could not be with her.

Liang Yan sat in the courtyard in front of the dormitory for a long time, holding her mobile phone in her palm, sweating slightly, and finally Liang Yan picked up her mobile phone, hesitated for a long time, and slowly dialed the number that she knew by heart, comforting herself in her heart that he would not answer, after all, she had changed her phone number.

"Dut...... ...... "Liang Yan thought, just count three times and hang up the phone." Unexpectedly, before the third ring, the phone was connected. "Hello, who?" The clear voice reached Liang Yan's ears through the mobile phone. Liang Yan's tears flowed out unnoticed, and they swept across her cheeks and fell to the ground into ice beads. Liang Yan covered her mouth and held back from making a sound. No one hung up the phone, only vaguely heard the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, rhythmic and heavy.

Gu Zexu was busy working at his desk, when he heard the phone ringing, he picked it up without looking at who it was, the other party didn't speak, he subconsciously glanced at the caller, stranger. I was about to hang up the phone, and there seemed to be a voice in my heart: What if it was her? So he stopped working and focused on the subtle sound on the phone. Liang Yan held back at this head for a long time, tears still burst out of her eyes without fighting, with a gentle whimper, she was so wronged today, she thought, hang up the phone, this is already very satisfied.

There seemed to be an electrocardiogram on the other end, and a second before she hung up the phone, except for the voice: "Yanyan is you?" Liang Yan was startled, she didn't have time to think, and immediately hung up the phone.
