The professor froze in place, and Ye Li's advice before going out seemed to echo in his ears-

"Take good care of your injuries, and you can continue to work after your injuries are healed."

The professor felt his brain racing and wanted to come up with a plausible statement. However, when Ye Li stood in front of him and looked at him helplessly, he couldn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.

Ye Li looked him up and down a few times, and asked suspiciously, "You actually walked down the stairs by yourself?" ”

"I have some thoughts about the essay that I want to write down." The professor explained hurriedly.

Ye Li didn't seem to care about the reason why the professor went downstairs, but was very interested in how he went downstairs alone, and she repeated her question: "I'm asking, how did you go downstairs?" With this? ”

She pointed to the cane the professor held in her hand, a walnut cane with a sickle-shaped grip wrapped in silver and engraved with beautiful and intricate patterns, clearly not a product of this era.

"Grandpa's cane, I found it in the locker room." The professor put his whole body on one foot, held up the antique codex in one hand, and showed it to Ye Li as if he were offering a treasure.

Ye Li nodded thoughtfully, didn't say anything more, and went to take care of herself.

Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter of going downstairs herself, the professor who was "strict with his wife" breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, if you want to blatantly go to the study to work, it is too unfamiliar, the professor can only sit back on the sofa, press a button with his fingers on the control panel of the sofa chair, and the TV is turned on-

But even after changing a few stations, the screen is black and there is no image.

Yesterday, Ye Li told him that the main network of the community is being upgraded and is temporarily unusable, and it seems that it has not been restored.

With the development of science and technology, people are more and more dependent on the network, more than half a century ago, human beings broke through the barriers of communication technology, following 5G, 6G came out quickly, data transmission has been efficiently improved, is widely used in the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, aerospace science and technology, the Internet is therefore upgraded to the world network. It was also from that time that various technologies that originally existed only in people's imagination were born, and the whole world entered a new era, known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The professor's home, where these new technologies were originally everywhere, was temporarily unusable due to the upgrade of the main network.

The professor was feeling that he had nothing to do, and Ye Li came over, carrying a tray with two cups of steaming coffee, another plate of biscuits, and a small piece of cake.

Putting the tray on the coffee table, Ye Li said, "Su Min made it, it just came out of the oven, you can taste it." ”

Su Min is Ye Li's best friend, and her husband Liang Yu is Ye Li's classmate, and the two entered the marriage hall last year with Ye Li's matchmaking and lived in a community with them.

It turned out that Ye Li had just gone to Su Min's house to get snacks, no wonder she came back so soon.

As he thought, the professor picked up his coffee cup and twisted a small biscuit with both hands, but it was so crispy that he couldn't pick it up completely after several attempts, and he crushed the cute snack.

"I'm so clumsy." He said with annoyance.

Ye Li just smiled and replaced the biscuit in front of him with a cake with a knife and fork.

The professor suddenly became handy, and he asked Ye Li while tasting it, "Have you seen my mobile phone?" ”

Because of the car accident, work affairs can only be put on hold temporarily, the professor wants to call the college, but the home network is cut off, the communication is also cut off, he looked for the mobile phone only to find that it seems to have been lost after the car accident.

Ye Li shook her head: "Maybe I lost it in a car accident, I've been busy these days, and I didn't care about it, let's go back and buy a new one." I have asked for leave from the college on your behalf, and the school has arranged for other professors to help you substitute for you, don't worry. ”

The professor nodded, and said, "I woke up in a daze yesterday, and I forgot to ask you, Jiajia......"

Mo Jia is the daughter of Professor Mo Ming and Ye Li, 8 years old this year, just in elementary school, because reporters are always squatting in front of the door, affecting the daily life of the family, Ye Li sent the child to the grandparents' house.

Ye Li seemed to know what the professor was going to ask, and before he finished speaking, he replied: "Now that you want to recuperate, I can't take care of it alone, so let Jiajia stay with your parents, besides, I haven't told her about your car accident, I'm afraid she will be scared......"

"That's the way it should be, when I recover, I'll pick her up." The professor nodded in agreement.

"Bobo also sent it over to make her a companion." Ye Li said again.

Bobo is a golden retriever dog they raised, and they grew up with their daughter, who is more dependent on Bobo than her parents, who are too busy to see anyone, and can't be separated for a moment.

The two chatted with each other, and the professor asked, "How much time does it take to upgrade the network?" ”

"I don't know." Ye Li shook her head again.

"What era is it, how many days does it take to upgrade the network? It's just too inefficient! The professor grumbled.

Ye Li said "um" and didn't answer, looking preoccupied.

The professor realized that his wife was in a bad mood and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Are those reporters annoying again? I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that speech to cause such a big reaction. ”

"No, it's not, there are no more journalists." Ye Li woke up from her contemplation and denied it repeatedly.

The professor thought slightly, and said: "It's too boring today, so I will come downstairs, I promise, I will cultivate well in the future, and I will never toss again,"

Hearing this, Ye Li looked at the professor in some surprise.

The professor was stared at by him inexplicably, and he didn't know what he had done to provoke such a big reaction from his wife.

Fortunately, the wife quickly returned to her original state.

"What's wrong with you?" The professor asked, confused.

"It's nothing, I suddenly thought about work." Ye Li explained lightly, "There was something wrong with a project recently, and I suddenly remembered it just now and was distracted,"

Something at work?

As far as Ye Li's current work is concerned, the professor doesn't think there is any problem that can stump her.

Before meeting him, Ye Li was already an excellent scholar who had obtained a number of patents in the field of artificial intelligence, with doctorates in computer science, psychology and philosophy.

Yi Smart Technology Research Center, one of the first private scientific research institutions to settle on Gongdao, is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, founded by 11 of the world's top computer scientists, and Ye Li's mentor, Professor Luo Chaoyang, is one of them.

It has always been Ye Li's dream to work in the "center", and he still remembers how ecstatic Ye Li was after receiving a call from Professor Luo Chaoyang.

However, an unexpected pregnancy caused her to give up the opportunity to go to Gongdao with her mentor and become a full-time mother.

Thinking of this, the professor felt a little guilty, if it weren't for the sake of the family and the child, Ye Li's achievements would definitely not be lower than his own.

After the children went to school, Ye Li's time was more relaxed, and she went to work in an ordinary computer technology company.

The professor has absolute confidence in Ye Li's ability. Therefore, the words of encountering problems at work are perfunctory at first hearing.

However, the professor was reluctant to question his wife, as if a voice in his heart was saying to him-

Believe her, what Ye Li said is right, she will not deceive you.

Soon, the coffee and snacks were finished, Ye Li got up to clean up the dishes, and the mellow aroma of coffee and the sweet aroma of snacks in the living room gradually dissipated.

The professor leaned back on the sofa, feeling very relaxed, and after the lecture incident, it had been a long time since he had a comfortable afternoon tea with his wife.

My wife must have been very tired lately, she looks a lot haggard, and she has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Thinking so, his consciousness slowly faded away, and the professor fell asleep......
