Qi Min's train of thought was interrupted by Bai Rong, who suddenly came out, and after calling Bai Rong's roommate, he didn't have the heart to go back to the "rain cloud" center.

Qi Min told Ke Li on WeChat that she still had something to do at school, and then returned to her bioinformatics laboratory at China Technical University.

There was no one else in the lab. Wang Xin and Chen Linyou's verification experiment on EPS cell differentiation of nerve cells has almost been completed, and the two of them have been running to the center of "rain clouds" from time to time recently, but the number of times is not as frequent as Qi Min's. As the Gregorian New Year approached, the two young men had probably gone back from their holidays. At this time, almost all the instruments in the laboratory were turned off, and only the refrigerator was still humming so faintly that it was a little lonely.

She didn't bother to turn on the computer for a while, just took out her mobile phone and wanted to play two games, when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. Qi Min looked up and saw that it was Bai Rong who came in.

Bai Rong should have come to look for her, and when she saw Qi Min hurriedly running over, she took a few breaths, tried to calm down and said, "Teacher Qi, I heard...... You ...... to the dean."

"I've been to the dean." Qi Min hurriedly stood up and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "This matter may be related to whether you can graduate next year, and it is best to have your parents come forward." ”

She said it very tactfully, which means that she, an ordinary PI, can't influence the department's decision, and she can't make trouble with the college for the undergraduate students in the laboratory, so it's better to let parents come out and put pressure on the school.

"Huh? No...... I think ......" Bai Rong was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Don't let my parents know......"

"Know what? Do you know you're GAY? Qi Min paused and said, "Bai Rong, now you have to figure out the priorities. Now hiding from your parents is not the most important thing, the important thing is that this matter will not be punished and will not affect your graduation. ”

Hearing the demerit, Bai Rong was stunned: "What punishment?" Teacher Qi, why do you want to punish me? ”

"I'm wondering too." Qi Min sighed, "Listen to Dean Wang, you have a psychological problem, and if you are found by other students, you have to deal with it." Of course, this argument is completely untenable, so if your parents can argue with him, it should be fine to put this matter over. ”

Bai Rong was silent for a while, and unconsciously raised his hand to brush his excessively long curls, as if thinking about what to do. Finally, he asked, "Is there any way to do it...... Can my parents not know ......"

Qi Min really felt that he was too sincere: "Why do you emphasize because of GAY when you say it?" If you don't agree with the department, your parents will believe you. She was afraid that Bai Rong didn't understand, and added, "Even if you say it's just a joke, isn't it ridiculous enough for the department to judge that you have a psychological problem because you sent a love letter?" ”

She said this Bai Rong only understood, nodded hurriedly, and left the laboratory in a hurry, about to call in a hurry.

After Bai Rong left, Qi Min sat back in the chair, opened WeChat and took a look, but her mother asked her if she would go home for New Year's Eve.

Qi Min wanted to go back a little, but he still replied to Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong: "No." ”

——

After being disturbed by this matter, Qi Min returned home. This is a rare time lately when she came home before half past six, and Anton had just brought Mimi back and was preparing dinner.

Qi Min felt tired, took off his coat and shoes after entering the house, and went directly to the bedroom and collapsed on the sofa to watch TV, until Anton came over in an apron and asked her why she didn't play with Mimi.

"Oh, can you keep me quiet?" Qi Min said impatiently.

"No, you said you wanted to spend more time with Mimi last time." Anton was also a little upset. If she comes home late, she just waits for dinner after she comes back, and she comes back so early today, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and she can't say that she is still paralyzed, right?

"So what?" Qi Min didn't think about it and asked, "I've been busy here all day, how can it be like you have nothing to do......

When he said this, Qi Min realized that it was really a tasteless act to ridicule Anton for not working. It's true that Anton is much more relaxed now than when he used to work and deliver food every day when he was in the United States, but in the end, isn't it just to get a higher degree and find a better job just to have more rest time without 996? Since it is not easy for Anton to find a suitable chef position in China, she does not have to let him work.

"Uh...... I didn't mean that either. Qi Min explained in a whisper, and then said, "But I'm really tired." ”

As a person who actually provides financial resources, Qi Min is still quite justified in complaining about being tired. In fact, today is not particularly tired compared to usual, but because of the special day of December 31, it will inevitably make people feel self-pity that "I am still at work on the last day of the year".

Anton probably knew that this was the case, but instead took off his apron and sat next to Qi Min, raised his hand to pull the broken hair next to her face behind her ears, and then said gently: "It's true, the last day of the experiment was not completed, it must be very annoying." ”

Qi Min was actually not annoyed by the experiment, but Bai Rong's matter made her feel that the School of Science was just nonsense. However, hearing Anton's response so calmly, she still felt a sense of solid relief.

I have to say that Anton's empathy ability is also remarkable. Relying on this, although it is easier for him to bring Mimi, this can be regarded as a kind of talent.

Qi Min took Anton's hand, leaned over and leaned on his shoulder for a while. If you get closer, you can smell the slight smell of cooking fumes on his body, which can also be stained through the apron.

"Actually, it's fine." Qi Min said lightly.

"I'll squeeze you a cup of apple juice, look you're wilting." Anton joked.

"Is there anything else besides Apple?" Qi Min immediately became interested, "Why don't you make a milkshake?" ”

——

Relying on a cup of fruit special milkshake, Anton successfully pulled Qi Min up from the sofa.

After getting up, Qi Min didn't feel so tired, and even told Mimi about the origin of the revolution and the Gregorian calendar, the solar day and the sidereal day, and why there are 366 days in leap years.

However, it is clear that the little girl is more interested in milkshakes than in astronomical geography such as how the earth revolves around the sun.

When it was time for dinner, Mimi began to talk about what happened to her in kindergarten today. The little girl said that the kindergarten teacher had said that they would be a year older today, and Qi Min explained that this was the age algorithm of the counting system.

Then Mimi said that the classmates who were one year older than her in the kindergarten all went to "preschool", and Qi Min suddenly realized that Mimi couldn't go to this small private kindergarten all the time, and her household registration and school registration problems would have to be solved sooner or later.

However, if she wants to solve the problem of Mimi's household registration, she will definitely have to go home and get the household registration book...... Inevitably, she had to tell her parents, Mimi and Anton.

I thought it would be all right to bring these two people back to China, but it's a bit difficult to deal with these processes.
