"I understand, but we all have to integrate into society eventually, and this change is inevitable. Besides, the trips and sea view villas we all want are not cheap, and there has to be a source for all this cost. ”

"That's what I said......"

"Okay, it's just a matter of facts, nothing else, I support you in whatever you want to do, just do it according to your own plan."

"What if I say I still want to be a full-time writer?"

Chen Xiaodi's words are not a joke, this is indeed what she wants to do in the future, she doesn't have to work from 9 to 5, all the time can be at her disposal, there is a group of people who like the stories they write, and they can go anywhere they want at any time.

But this dream is treated as a joke by most people, every time she talks about it, she will receive some casual encouragement, Chen Xiaodi knows that any argument is meaningless, and turning dreams into reality is the best counterattack, so she is always willing to take those words as sincere, and encourage herself all the time.

"Then write well, and you can always succeed if you stick to it."

"I'm serious."

"I'm serious too."

Chen Xiaodi naturally believed that Bai Ye's encouragement was sincere, and Bai Ye had always been worried that her physical condition could not withstand the intensity of most work, if what she wanted to do could become her profession in the future, it would certainly be the best.

"Honestly, I'd like to take it again."

"Now that you've made up your mind, prepare well, and many people don't succeed at the first time, so it's not a shame."

"Hmm."

"I heard you say that you want to take the translation certificate before, but it seems that there has been no progress, do you still plan to take the test?"

"Of course, I have to take the test, but I may have to slow it down first."

"Also, don't be too anxious about these skill certificates, prepare them first."

"What about you? Are you ready to stay with the company? ”

"It's not decided yet, a few days ago I saw a very good company recruiting interns, so I submitted a resume, and there is no result for the time being, if I pass, I should go here to have a look."

"Are you still going to school?"

"Of course I want to go, the internship period of the company is only half a year, so there will be no delay."

"That's pretty good."

Seeing Bai Ye plan everything about himself in an orderly manner, Chen Xiaodi suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with his pace, and even the future that had been built was a little vague.

"It's good to have a goal."

"Aren't you the same?"

"I'm a mess of time at best, and it has nothing to do with the future."

"Why not? Being a scholar and doing research is also a kind of future, and besides, it suits you very well, and I want you to live your life in the way you like to work rather than work for the sake of living. ”

"If only everyone around me understood me as well as you did."

"The elders also have their own considerations, and in the final analysis, they just hope that we can become independent as soon as possible and live a better life."

"I can't help but boast, these words have already made their ears calloused, and you still say it!"

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong."

Bai Ye on the other end of the video call smiled softly as he spoke, but there was some worry in the eyes of the person looking at the other end.

As March approached, Chen Xiaodi, who was still running around the laboratory all day, looked very tired, and her beautiful eyes were less agile and more sleepy.

Chen Xiaodi's experiment was going on day by day, one day she was just preparing a set of extractions, and during the long waiting time, she was thinking about what to eat when she received a call from Bai Ye, only saying that lunch was ready.

With a stomach full of doubts, Chen Xiaodi came to the rest area on the first floor, only to see Bai Ye sitting in the corner by the door, with stationery and a few spread out materials on the table, obviously having been here for a long time.

"Aren't you about to reply, why do you still have time to come here? Finished writing your paper? ”

"I sent it to the tutor last night, and I haven't replied yet, it's been almost revised, there shouldn't be any big problems, at most there are some minor things that need to be adjusted."

Bai Ye said, the takeaway he had just arrived was also opened by him and put in front of Chen Xiaodi, the chicken nuggets wrapped in sauce exuded an attractive fragrance, and the steaming heat washed away some of the chills that had not completely subsided in early spring.

"And what are these?"

"The last version of the paper, there are still some notes, the supervisor said that he would arrange a pre-defense for us, the time has not yet been decided, but it should be in these days, so practice in advance."

"Pre-defense...... Can I sit by? ”

"You want to see it?"

"Well, our experimental process is too tight, the papers are written while doing experiments, although the first half has been revised to basically no problem, but the final result has to wait for the end of the experiment to write, at that time it is estimated that it will be less than a month to defend, she is a busy person, who knows if she can spare time for us to pre-defend."

"No matter how tight the time is, it should be organized at least once, if you really don't have it, you can only prepare it yourself, anyway, you have done a lot of experiments, you are already familiar with it, don't worry too much."

"I hope so."

Chen Xiaodi fiddled with the shiny chicken nuggets in the lunch box and said lightly.

"Okay, don't think about it yet, let's eat quickly, it's going to be cold for a while, you definitely haven't eaten well lately, right?"

"It's okay, just like today, when it's time to pick it up, I will order a takeout, or I will help each other with other people to keep an eye on it, and exchange it to go to the cafeteria to eat."

"This extraction process is really leisurely, but it's not every day, one extract can make many samples, right? What about you, when you're busy, you save food, and when you go back, you just deal with it, and it's been like this for so many years, I really think I don't know? ”

Chen Xiaodi didn't speak, just ate with a big mouthful, she had really coped with it all this time, and now it was past noon, and she was already hungry. Bai Ye looked at the information at hand while eating, and Chen Xiaodi also looked at the photos taken on his mobile phone, which were all to be put into the paper later.

After lunch, Chen Xiaodi got up and prepared to go back to the laboratory to change to other classmates to eat, and when she was about to leave, Bai Ye stopped her.

"What do you want to eat in the afternoon?"

"Let's see then, I still have to centrifuge after extraction, I don't know what time I will get it, and you are going to stay here in the afternoon?"

"Well, nothing else for the time being, anyway."

"Okay, if you're bored, come upstairs and chat with me."

"I see that there are quite a lot of people in your laboratory, so I won't go up, let's talk on our mobile phones."

"Okay, then I'll go."

"Hmm."

Chen Xiaodi picked up the white coat hanging on the back of the chair and put it on, and walked all the way to the laboratory, Bai Ye looked at her plain white figure, as if she saw what she dreamed of, the girl who was running around in the front line of scientific research in the near future.
