"Stop giving her unrealistic hopes."

After the video call was connected, looking at the man who was writing at the desk across the screen, Mo Lina's heart couldn't help but be angry, and she said in a cold tone.

Hearing this inexplicable speech, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk calculating, finally put down the pen in his hand.

Raising his head to look at Mo Lina on the video call, he was still a little unclear about the situation, and said confusedly.

"She? What are you talking about? ”

I sent an email last night saying that I didn't have time to start a video chat, but now the video is on, and he didn't wait for what she wanted to express after waiting for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Molina continued in a cold tone.

"I'm talking about Miss Vera Puyuy!"

Lu Zhou frowned, gradually realizing that something seemed to be serious.

"What's wrong with Vera?"

seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not, but thinking of that distressing face, she gritted her teeth, and still couldn't help breaking the agreement not to tell Lu Zhou, and told the truth.

“…… She is very sick now, she has been coughing and fever since last week, it doesn't look like a normal cold! I don't know if there is any agreement between you and her or what you are working on, and I am not very interested in inquiring, I just want to tell you...... She's overdrawing her health! ”

Staring at Lu Zhou on the screen, Mo Lina said seriously.

"Count me begging, don't push her too hard."

After dropping these words, Molina reached out and grabbed the mouse, and ended the call in Lu Zhou's stunned gaze.

"Wait a minute! …… Already hanging? ”

didn't have time to stop her, looking at the blackened screen, Lu Zhou's face was full of complicated expressions.

Molina's last words lingered in his ears.

What do you mean I'm pushing her too hard?

Lu Zhou repeated this sentence in his heart, and asked himself if he had ever done such a thing.

However, no matter how he asked himself, he couldn't remember what he had asked her to do.

it!

Can you stop talking halfway and finish it in one sentence!

What the hell did I do?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's heart inexplicably felt a burst of irritability, but he couldn't tell where this irritability came from, and he didn't even know why he was irritable.

It seems that the dullness on Lu Zhou's face was captured through the camera, and a string of colorful bubbles appeared in the lower right corner, quietly reflecting a line of text.

Xiao Ai: [Master, that ...... Do you need Ai to reconnect the video call? (> people<; ）】

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said.

“…… No need. ”

Although Xiao Ai does have this ability, there is no point in doing so.

Molina obviously hung up after expressing everything she wanted to say, and even if she connected the video call again, it would only add some embarrassment.

After all, the human heart is not code, and it is not something that can be changed by just a few beating characters.

Leaning back in the office chair, Lu Zhou sighed and said to himself.

“…… I really want to go to a clean place, preferably without anyone. ”

There is no sophistication there, and there are no worries outside of research.

There is only pure truth.

It would be nice to add an endless time and space setting.

At least in his opinion, there is nothing happier than this.

After closing his eyes and escaping reality for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly shook his head violently and sat up from his chair.

No way!

You can't just leave her alone!

Whether it's because of him or not, no matter what, she is also the most proud student he taught......

He couldn't just watch her do something stupid that neglected her health. After all, not everyone can rely on the medicine rewarded by the system like him, he has not had a serious illness in six or seven years, and he is still the same as a person who is okay after 72 hours of liver explosion.

Thinking so in his heart, Lu Zhou opened the mailbox and wrote in the email with careful wording.

[I heard that you have a cold......]

[I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at comforting, and the advice I make is certainly not as professional as a doctor.] I just wanted to say ......]

No matter how important the research is, I hope you can put your body first and put the work at hand aside. Research can be done at any time, but health is only done once per person. What's more, your body has not been very good, and you need to pay more attention. 】

[If you fall ill, I will be sad. 】

[Also, remember to drink plenty of hot water......

Typing down the last line, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, as if he felt that the last sentence was not appropriate, and then pressed the backspace key to delete the sentence, and then clicked the send button.

After doing these things, Lu Zhou just sat in front of the computer and waited quietly.

Although he also wanted to pass the torturous time by delving into mathematical problems, it was a pity that he could not focus on mathematical problems at all.

And just like that, time passed minute by minute.

Although the minute hand has just passed two squares, for Lu Zhou, the past ten minutes are as long as a century.

Looking at the mailbox that still hadn't replied, Lu Zhou took a breath through his nose.

He was sure that Vera hadn't slept at this time, and that the computer must have been at hand, so he must have seen his email.

"Am I going too far?"

"But what did I do......

Glancing at his right hand, Lu Zhou shook his head a little irritably, driving the distracting thoughts in his heart out of his brain.

"Now is not the time to dwell on these things."

"At the very least, I need to find out what happened to her!"

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou immediately opened his mailbox and edited an email again.

【…… If you are in Princeton, please visit Miss Vera Pueuil in my place, I have heard from his colleague that she has a very bad cold, and I cannot reach her now. 】

[If it's convenient, please bring me my greetings to her, and help me inquire about what kind of illness she is suffering from?] Please. 】

opened the list of correspondents and sent the email to his other protégé, Qin Yue.

Although this man usually doesn't talk a lot and doesn't look very enthusiastic, he is actually a very enthusiastic person, and if it is his own request, he will definitely do his best to complete it.

What's more, apart from Qin Yue in this matter, he couldn't find anyone else to ask for.

After sending out the email, Lu Zhou let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair, praying silently in his heart.

"I hope nothing ......"

If she did fall ill, whether it was because of him or not, he would feel extremely guilty.

As for the more terrible things......

Now he is unwilling to do so for the time being, and he doesn't dare to think about it.
