The day before, he did nearly ten hours of animal experiments in a row, causing Qi Min to not want to go to the laboratory the next day.

After Yan Zhaolan's family moved out, no one left her a breakfast with her. Qi Min got up from the bed and got dressed and washed, just drank a bag of milk and went out.

When she arrived at school, she caught up with the last wave of breakfast in the cafeteria before it was sold out, so she drank some porridge and ate a few small buns. After slowly scrolling through the circle of friends for a while, I unsurprisingly saw that some of her college classmates who were still in the academic circle posted articles, participated in what conferences, and what information they had about recruiting technicians after being a PhD in a big laboratory.

In fact, it is good to recruit a technician who can do animal experiments to help her do experiments, but the technician's salary has to be paid for by the laboratory itself, and Qi Min does not have that much budget. And the technician recruited may be more disabled than her, otherwise there is no need to find her as a laboratory for bioinformatics.

After brushing the circle of friends, Qi Min rode her N-hand 28 bar to the biology hall, entered the door and went upstairs to the laboratory, looked around and found that Ke Li was not there.

Did he get up late too? Qi Min asked Chen Linyou, who was checking the literature on the side, "Lin You, is Ke Li here?" ”

"Oh...... He seems to be in the upstairs clean room. Chen Linyou replied.

Qi Min was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ke Li to enter the working state so early, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

She went upstairs to the ultra-clean room dedicated to animal experiments, first put on gloves and masks in the preparation room, put on a head and shoe covers, and went into the air shower room twice, and then went inside, where she saw Ke Li sitting in front of the biological safety cabinet. Qi Min walked over and saw that he was quickly and skillfully shaving the hair on the top of the rat's head.

Ke Li heard someone coming, and obviously guessed who it was: "You're here." The one I got yesterday doesn't look like a problem, and I'd like to get all three of them on as soon as possible. ”

"Can it be filled in one day?" Qi Min asked uncertainly.

"Pretty much." Ke Li said briskly, "Yesterday, I basically figured out how to install this thing, and then I can install it quickly." ”

"Why don't we pack it separately?" Qi Min proposed.

Ke Li turned his face to look at her, and said with some embarrassment: "I think so...... Someone has to wash the electrodes, or it's better for the two to cooperate. ”

Qi Min understood that he was actually trying to euphemistically express his distrust of his experimental technology. If it was in the past, Qi Min estimated that she would have to fight with him in order to protect her face, but now this is a topic she wants to use to support herself, and there is no need to make things more complicated for the sake of face.

"Okay then." Qi Min sat down next to him and sprayed his gloves with 75% alcohol.

——

Despite yesterday's experience, it is still very troublesome to install the callosum interface in rats with bare hands. Ke Que worked for more than four hours before he got one.

And by this time it was almost two o'clock. Qi Min stood up from the safety cabinet and wiped the mixture of PBS and rat tissue fluid on the gloves with absorbent paper: "Why don't you go eat first." ”

"You go first, I'll have to watch this one for a while, and then I'll have to send it back to the animal room." Ke Li said.

"I guess it'll be too late when you're done." Qi Min looked at the poor rat who hadn't been anesthetized yet, "What do you want to eat, I'll bring you some?" ”

"I guess that's all that's left for pancakes and baked cold noodles." Ke Li thought for a while, "If there is any more, I will bake cold noodles and add a portion of kelp shreds." ”

——

Qi Min went to the cafeteria to buy baked cold noodles, and when he was waiting in front of the window, he heard a familiar voice not far away: "Hey, why are you eating lunch so late today?" ”

Qi Min turned his head and saw Hua Ruiming as expected. At this time, it was late autumn, but he was still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, as if there was no change from the appearance of Qi Min who saw him here when he first started school.

"Let's do an experiment." Qi Min smiled and said, "What about you?" ”

"All the same, what else?" Hua Ruiming also smiled and said to the master at the window, "A set of pancakes and ham, thank you." ”

The master at the window didn't start making his pancakes right away, and then Hua Ruiming realized that Qi Min was waiting for not only a baked cold noodle, but also a pancake.

"Hey, you've got a lot of food." Hua Ruiming joked.

"Where, I'll bring one to Ke Li." Qi Min replied.

"It's also because...... He helps you with the experiments? Hua Ruiming asked cautiously.

"yes, that is too much trouble to make, and I don't have time to eat to do this." Qi Min said helplessly, "It's also thanks to Ke Li, otherwise I would have been wasted if I did most of it." ”

"What experiment is so hard?" Hua Ruiming asked.

"Put electrodes in the rat's head." Qi Min replied in general terms. Although Hua Ruiming's laboratory will definitely not do research in this area, the details of the subject cannot be casually publicized.

"I can do that." Hua Ruiming said, "We also have a method of using electrodes to stimulate depression in our laboratory - why didn't you tell me at the beginning, how troublesome it is to find someone from the computing center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." ”

Qi Min felt that she had already explained the emotional problem to Hua Ruiming, so there was no need to hide it from him, so he said: "I invited you to dinner before to talk about this, but you brought flowers with you at that time and led the topic there...... I didn't mention it again. ”

After she said this, Hua Ruiming was silent for a while, and turned to see the master at the window sandwiching kelp shreds into the roasted cold noodles.

After a few seconds, he turned around again and asked in a hesitant whisper, "But I still want to know...... Aside from doing the rat experiment, what do you think of me? - Or rather, if it weren't for the experiment, you probably wouldn't want to invite me to dinner......"

Qi Min glanced at him, a little surprised that he hadn't let go of this idea yet. Because something that didn't have a good impact happened in the laboratory where Qi Min was an undergraduate, it was a senior doctoral student who had an office romance, and then broke up and took revenge on each other, and even alarmed the department. This incident also made her feel that there should be no ambiguity between colleagues.

Moreover, colleagues who work together do not look up and look down, and from the perspective of animal behavior, this is similar to the relationship between brothers and sisters of the same group. In order to prevent inbreeding, animals have evolved a tendency to reject siblings when choosing a mate, and it stands to reason that people who work together should tend to treat each other as genderless. Hua Ruiming's situation of people who like to eat and play games together every day is only because he usually has too few effective contacts with the opposite sex, and he has the wrong psychology of treating friends as the object of pursuit.

Thinking of this, Qi Min couldn't help but sigh, did she have to be responsible for introducing Hua Ruiming to Hua Ruiming in order to correct this wrong empathy?

She had no choice but to say, "Even if there is no experiment, I will still treat you to dinner." For example, let's go to the restaurant together, if you don't bring money or mobile phones, I'll definitely invite them immediately. But if it's a special treat...... There has to be a reason. ”
