"The results will be available on Monday." Xia Qingyu's voice quieted down everyone in the laboratory. "Inform the media and prepare for the press conference."

"This ......" Xia Qingyu's assistant said with some hesitation, "Won't you be in a hurry, this is the first experiment, we can wait." The other members also showed agreement in their eyes, but because everyone had habitually obeyed Xia Qingyu's command in this project, no one echoed it.

Only Zhao Ziling understood Xia Qingyu's intentions, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Professor Liu can't afford to wait." Xia Qingyu's eyes were dyed with a hint of solemnity, "The press conference truthfully disclosed the current situation, and the first successful case is enough to illustrate our achievements." ”

The old man who was in good spirits couldn't withstand the years after all, and now he is also in the hospital with a ventilator, struggling to support the last days. Some of the people present had also been taught by this old man, and many of them had red eyes when they heard "he can't afford to wait".

The old man who is always happy is not willing to be idle when he retires, and occasionally he will be seen walking like a fly in the academy. Everyone said that he was an old man with a strong body, how could he think that last year's autumn rain and a cold made his body decay rapidly.

When many of his students visited him in the hospital, they looked at the old man on the hospital bed with greatly atrophied muscles, sunken eyes, but his eyes were still bright, and his smile was as cheerful as ever.

"Let's work hard for a while longer to prepare for Monday's press conference."

"Understood!" This time, the answer was strong.

At night, the critical illness notice was issued again, and Zhao Ziling and Xia Qingyu, who got the news, rushed to the hospital together without hesitation.

The red light lit up in the operating room tightly entangled the hearts of everyone present.

[System, I want to try it once.] Even if the experiment was successful, Xia Qingyu was just watching others cheer lightly, but now his hands were trembling uncontrollably. Professor Lau's teachings to her, though in large part were based on her extraordinary talent; But it is undeniable that Professor Liu has indeed given her all his life's learning.

In the past three years, she has not been a star in the eyes of the public, and together with Shen Chen, she has been an ordinary junior under the knees of Grandpa Zhao and Professor Liu, thanks to their love. Zhao Ziling and Bai Xiyue's relationship went very well, and she attended their wedding the year after she retired, low-key but very solemn. At that time, the two elders were still sitting in the front row with a smile, toasting each other, and seeing a pair of children get married.

Grandpa Zhao still couldn't get rid of the problem of pulling erhu on the street, so Xia Qingyu accompanied the old man. Every time she brought her own guitar after dressing up, Shen Chen helped her carry the singing utensils on her back, and the three of them were familiar with each other on the street. Their names are known in a circle around the central square, and visitors regard listening to the songs of the old and the young as a must-have itinerary.

This matter was later known by Professor Liu, and he chased Grandpa Zhao to settle accounts with him, was such a good seedling so ruined by you! Don't know how much time you need to put more effort into studying? What can I do with you when I go to various street corners and alleys to sing?!

Grandpa Zhao always waved his hand to show that he didn't care, what happened to the mouth of the alley? There are still people listening to the mouth of the alley! Let's talk about music for a fun, I play the song and she sings, a heavenly work!

Shen Chen, who was drinking water on the side, was choked by the old man's words and coughed repeatedly.

[Are you crazy!] The system scolded. In the three years that he was forcibly stayed, the temper of the system was visibly more irritable to the naked eye. Others see that Xia Qingyu has no problem, he enters the laboratory as usual every day, and he will never make a mistake and will not be tired.

But her body couldn't take it anymore. The people who can't wait are not only Professor Liu, but also herself. Organs are constantly failing, and if a doctor gives her a comprehensive physical examination, she will definitely be surprised that this person can still stand up.

[That's all for him!] You can't change it! Calm me down! 】

Professor Liu is actually a very open-minded person, if he really wants to leave, it is also very peaceful to lie in his old house, touch all the instruments he has played over the years, and then pick one of his favorites, take it to find a place with a window, find a chair to sit down. Then enjoy playing the song for a whole day, from the early morning light to the end of the sunset, quietly waiting for the call of death.

Instead of lying on the operating table in the hospital like this, ending his life without any sense of beauty.

This experiment became his obsession, and he was eager to see this result come out. The old man who dedicated himself to music understands too well the fiery emotions in the melody.

So when he chose to obey the hospital's treatment, Xia Qingyu understood his intentions, hoping that these cold instruments could help him and prolong the dying time a little longer.

Lao Zhao also understood.

Grandpa Zhao is also old, and he can't bear such ups and downs. I didn't tell him a lot about Professor Liu's condition, but tonight. He just knew that his 30-year-old friend was running out, and he could still joke with Professor Liu when he visited the patient, saying Look at you, I think every day that I don't sleep at night and my health is not good, why don't you know how to take care of yourself in the end?

Sitting on the corridor outside the operating room, Zhao Ziling buried his head in his hands, and everyone was silent. Tomorrow, as long as he waits one more day, he can let the old man see that the seed that worries the old man has bloomed its first flower.

[I'll tell you to stop!] With a few wolf howls, Shen Chen also rushed to the hospital with a silver-gray wolf dog, and when he saw this scene in the corridor, he also knew that the current situation was very bad.

[Do you know how to do this, you have to bear all his physical feelings these days! ] The Czech Republic made a forward pounce and almost threw Xia Qingyu to the ground. Shen Chen's eyes quickly grabbed him.

You know that there is a price to be paid for changing the fate of others. 】

The big wolf dog squatted in front of Xia Qingyu, panting, his eyes a little sharp. No matter what way Xia Qingyu used to make the old man stay for a few more days, she would have to experience all the feelings of this old man when he was dying. This may not be able to last for Xia Qingyu, who has a short time.

[It's okay, I'll bear it.] Xia Qingyu squatted down and looked at the Czech Republic, rubbing the soft hair on the top of his head, [I will leave with you after the press conference. 】

"I see. The system's voice was a little tired, and he closed his eyes to block the blue light inside, [You just understand what you're doing.] 】

Soon, the lights in the operating room went out and the old man was pushed out.

"Professor Liu, how is he?" Zhao Ziling got up with an arrow step, and was slightly relieved to see the old man's slightly undulating chest. Professor Liu lost his wife and children in the accident of his early years, and he spent the rest of his life alone, and he could not even see him off without someone.

"Rescued." A doctor ordered the next arrangement, took Zhao Ziling outside the ward, and said, "But you also have to be mentally prepared, there is no time left." ”

Zhao Ziling held the doctor's hand and thanked him constantly, Xia Qingyu signaled to him and went in first. Shen Chen glanced at Xia Qingyu and stood quietly outside the ward.

"Girl." The old man on the hospital bed had atrophied his muscles greatly, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was pale, and his voice seemed to be moaning weakly, but his eyes were still bright, and his smile was as cheerful as ever.

"Look at you nervous, as for you? It's not like once or twice, I'm going to see the girl's ...... in your lab."

Xia Qingyu gently held the old man's hand full of needles and stopped him from saying the next thing. She knew that every word of the old man at this time was overdrawing his already meager life in advance.

"We succeeded. The first patient was awakened today, and a press conference will be held tomorrow. ”

Then he pointed to the projection screen in the single room, "You'll see it here tomorrow." ”

"Success?" The old man's eyes burst into surprise and became even more radiant.

"Good, well done!" The withered hand suddenly strengthened and grabbed the girl's hand.

"I knew you were going to do it!" The old man's eyebrows were full of pride: "I know!" The torture of illness made the old man lose his vitality, and it was rare to show such a comfortable smile, and Xia Qingyu unconsciously smiled in a shallow arc.

The press conference came very suddenly. For the masses, such a research breakthrough, even if it does not require public relations propaganda, can achieve a boiling effect. However, many reporters were confused by the speed of the institute, didn't it mean that the initial results were not expected until next month?! They didn't even have this draft ready!

What Zhao Ziling didn't understand was that Xia Qingyu refused to be the keynote speaker, and generally speaking, the keynote speaker was the person who contributed the most to the project.

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants and enjoying some glory." What Xia Qingyu said to him is still in his ears,

"There's nothing to be proud of."

The group of researchers left behind by Professor Liu have done the best they can. The only gap is that there is no way to exist in this world - her voice. Success is often a momentary thing, but Xia Qingyu doesn't want people to see what they have experienced behind this and wait for a long time.

The flash flashed at Zhao Ziling on the stage, and as a representative of this project, he put a successful end to this epoch-making achievement. The awakening of the vegetative person represents the official entry of music into the medical field, and it is the cutting-edge area of brain science. Over the next hundred years, people's exploration of music will enter a new era.

"Are you alright?" Shen Chen patted Xia Qingyu on the shoulder from behind and handed her a glass of warm water, with unconcealed worry in his eyes.

He was the one who knew Xia Qingyu's physical condition best, from her gradually decreasing sleep time, slowly decreasing appetite and worsening eyesight. All of them made him feel uneasy.

"It's fine." The water temperature is just the right temperature for the entrance, and the warmth runs from the throat all the way through the heart and lungs. The water is quite sweet.

"Is Professor Liu coming?" She asked the man standing behind her.

"Well, Lao Zhao is also here. They just want to see it with their own eyes," Shen Chen's hand gently rubbed Xia Qingyu's hair, ignoring the yellowness at the root of the hair, "The old man is quite stubborn, you can't stop it." ”

Xia Qingyu shook his head, and the one-sided tiger teeth smiled on his slightly pale face, with two small dimples, which were still very cute, which made Shen Chen's eyes a little deeper.

"I'm getting ready to go." Her voice was low and inaudible.

The host is ready to withdraw from this world, and the system's electronic sound starts. Xia Qingyu's vision blurred again, only this time, she no longer had the strength to stay.

"Okay." The man's voice fell to his ears. A kiss landed on her eyelids, with warm humidity.

Xia Qingyu closed his eyes and couldn't see the blue light under the man's eyes.
