When Qi Min and Bai Rong left the "Nimbus" computing center, they were both in a state of half-fullness.

Qi Min also found that her attendant didn't eat much at the dinner table, so after getting out of the subway station, she took him to the McDonald's next to her: "Bai Rong, you haven't eaten enough, have you?" Now I guess there is no food in the cafeteria, so let's eat some fast food outside. ”

Bai Rong was a little surprised that his boss would invite him to eat alone, and he might have wanted to decline politely, but because he was really hungry, he still followed Qi Min to McDonald's.

He ordered a most ordinary McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger set with a Coke without ice. And Qi Min just ordered a medium potato.

Sitting down at McDonald's, Bai Rong faced Qi Min, who was just eating French fries slowly, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Qi, why do you eat French fries?" ”

"I'm not used to eating fast food, and I have something else to eat when I get home." Qi Min had already sent a WeChat message to Anton before, asking him to prepare some supper casually. She's had enough of fast food in the U.S., and it's so cold that she just wants to go back and have some hot food at this point.

Hearing that his boss had something to eat when he came home at night, Bai Rong couldn't help but show a look of envy. However, undergraduates who can't go home casually still have to eat fast food, Bai Rong lowered his head and silently ate his McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger.

Qi Min was eating French fries while watching Bai Rong on the opposite side drinking Coke, and suddenly heard someone on the right calling her: "No. 2? ”

Hearing this title, he knew who it was, Qi Min turned his head and saw Hua Ruiming.

"Yo, why did you meet here?" Qi Min said hello.

Hua Ruiming also carried a tray, looking like he had just bought supper and came here to find a place to sit. So he walked to Qi Min's table and asked as usual, "Who is this?" ”

"Undergraduate students who come to our laboratory to complete the program, Bai Rong." Qi Min introduced them to each other, "This is a fourth-year doctoral student in the Department of Medicine, Hua Ruiming. ”

Bai Rong didn't know why, why did his boss still know the doctoral students of the medical department so well? However, he still greeted him decently: "Hello senior brother." ”

Hua Ruiming just nodded to him, and then asked Qi Min, "It's so late, why are you still bringing people out to eat?" ”

"Then why are you here?" Qi Min asked rhetorically.

"Now there is no food in the school cafeteria." Hua Ruiming replied, "I just finished my work. ”

"We're pretty much the same." Qi Min said with a smile.

This is not due to some personal relationship, which may have made Hua Ruiming's mood a little better.

"Mind sharing a table?" He asked.

"Sit down." Qi Min wouldn't care too much about this.

Hua Ruiming sat down next to Bai Rong, took a sip of Coke, and asked, "How is your project going?" ”

"That's it." Qi Min said lightly, "The more and more experiments are done. ”

It may be a good thing to do more and more experiments, indicating that there is something new in the experiment. But it can also be a bad thing, for example, if the previous experiment plan fails, you have to start all over again, and the experiment really seems to be incomplete.

Qi Min asked again, "How is your subject?" ”

"Basically the experimental part is over and I'm writing the article." Hua Ruiming said calmly.

"Then you'll be graduating next year?" Qi Min asked with a smile.

"Not necessarily." Hua Ruiming said, "Most of my boss still wants to keep me for a year - isn't this equivalent to working for nothing?" ”

"Maybe I'll be able to write another article." Qi Min said comfortingly.

"I'm not short of articles." Hua Ruiming is quite confident in this regard.

Qi Min couldn't help but be a little envious, although the score of the article she rubbed after graduating from her doctorate was also very high, but if she could publish the article herself, who would want to graduate by rubbing the article?

Hua Ruiming and Qi Min chatted a little about scientific research, but Bai Rong's full name was just to eat with his head down. When the two men had eaten almost enough, Qi Min said, "Then let's go." ”

She thought of something again, and said to Bai Rong: "By the way, Bai Rong, you can go back with this senior brother, I will go directly to the subway station." ”

"Where are you going?" Hua Ruiming asked with some surprise.

"I'll go home." Qi Min said with a smile.

"Oh...... Then be careful on the road. Hua Ruiming didn't react much at first, and then added a question, "Are you with your boyfriend?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Qi Min asked.

"Not really." Hua Ruiming turned his gaze in disguise and asked Bai Rong, "Do you have a bicycle, junior brother?" If not, you can brush a little yellow car. ”

——

With Hua Ruiming taking Bai Rong back to school, Qi Min was completely relieved. Although the young man in his early twenties can't walk more than a mile back to school at night, it stands to reason that there is no danger, but Qi Min is mainly afraid that Bai Rong will take this opportunity to wander outside the school, and she will be responsible if something happens at that time.

Watching Hua Ruiming and Bai Rong ride away, Qi Min also set off to the subway station. While walking, she took out her mobile phone to look at WeChat, and found that Anton made a WeChat call to her, but she didn't receive it.

Qi Min dialed back and heard Anton ask, "Didn't you finish eating?" ”

"Eat...... But I didn't eat enough. Qi Min replied.

"Are you still full?" Anton wasn't quite convinced. In his impression, Qi Min can eat any garbage as long as he is hungry - of course, this may just be because his definition of "normal food" is a little too high.

"Others have a treat, I'm embarrassed to eat." Qi Min explained, "What else can I eat at home? ”

"There are quite a few, what do you want to eat?" Anton asked.

Qi Min wanted to "order food", but considering that it was already past nine o'clock, it was really a bit unkind to ask Anton to cook a meal for her alone: "Just come and have a little bit." ”

"Well, you've always been foolish." Anton said.

How can she talk about this, Qi Min couldn't help but scold, she is reducing Anton's burden, why is it called "so foolish"? He was forced to do the Manchurian banquet at night, and he was happy, right?

——

It was almost ten o'clock when Qi Min returned to the apartment she rented, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Anton wearing cotton gloves and coming out with a large plate. She glanced at the plate, and it was full of dumplings.

"In the afternoon, I suddenly wanted to make some noodles, so I made you some dumplings." Anton said, "Pork fennel filling, try it." ”

"Wow, I'm so lucky." Qi Min was already very hungry, so he didn't wash his hands and pulled one out with his fingertips and took a bite, chewing while saying, "Tell Mimi to come out and eat too, right?" ”

"Shh Anton made a silent gesture, "Mimi is asleep. He teased Qi Min again, "You are not as good as your daughter, you are embarrassed to eat with others." ”

Qi Min just felt restrained in formal occasions, and she didn't bother to explain to Anton what it was like to be - anyway, in his previous work, he had never really encountered such a formal occasion.

She put down her computer bag, took off her coat and washed her hands, and it took less than half an hour to eat nearly twenty dumplings.
