Qi Min and Zhang Zhiyong walked out of the biology hall together, and only then did she think about whether she should talk to Anton if she didn't go back for lunch.

In the past, when she was studying for her PhD, she usually brought her own lunch at noon because of the tight schedule. But now it seems that she will not be in such a hurry as a PI, so Anton did not prepare lunch for her in the morning. So should she go back to dinner? That's a problem......

Qi Min struggled for a while and decided to give Anton a call - he is now using Qi Min's old mobile phone, so it is also a local mobile phone number, so he doesn't have to worry about phone bills.

The phone was quickly connected, and Qi Min asked, "Is there lunch?" ”

Anton said a little strangely, "Aren't you eating at school?" ”

Did he acquiesce that she didn't go home for dinner? Qi Min couldn't help but feel a little neglected, and said deliberately: "You also know that the dishes in our school cafeteria are all like that......"

"It's not good, but you can eat it." Anton said, "It's much better than eating chips at noon in the school cafeteria before." ”

Qi Min understands this, he just can't get used to seeing Qi Min eat American fast food at noon. However, anything that can be regarded as serious Chinese food, no matter what the taste is, it is edible in Anton's eyes.

"Okay." Qi Min wanted to say, "Then I won't go back to eat", but thought that there was no share for her, so he had to say, "I'll go back at night." ”

Qi Min hung up the phone, and Zhang Zhiyong next to him took the opportunity to joke: "Call your mother?" ”

"It's a boyfriend." Qi Min corrected. Her mother is not like this, and she is so old, and she doesn't live with her parents, so there is no need to report to her parents about daily affairs.

Qi Min thought that Zhang Zhiyong would envy someone to cook for her, but he said: "It's good to have a boyfriend." ”

Qi Min almost didn't stumble. What do you mean? She doesn't look like someone who can find a boyfriend?

But thinking of Zhang Zhiyong's hobby of gossip, she felt that she couldn't bring the topic to Anton, so she asked rhetorically: "What, don't you have a girlfriend?" ”

"Heh, we broke up when Bo San." Zhang Zhiyong said coldly, "I think I'm in the lab all day long." Why do you post articles without experiments? It's not theoretical physics, and de Broglie can send a matter wave by tapping his head and counting two numbers. ”

Qi Min felt that De Broglie's famous paper on material waves was not so easy. However, chemistry and biology are both labor-intensive industries, and it is indeed laborious and labor-intensive to do research in this area.

"Why don't you look for another one?" Qi Min asked, "Now that you have a science and a teaching position, it's not easy to find a partner." ”

Many girls who are studying for a Ph.D. want to find a young male PI like Zhang Zhiyong. Since you have chosen to do scientific research, it is understandable to find a senior in the same industry to help you. As long as there is no violation of the rules and there is no problem of academic misconduct, this combination of similar ages is normal.

"I don't want to look for someone to do research." Zhang Zhiyong was blunt, "There is no normal person who is engaged in scientific research." He glanced at Qi Min and added, "Including myself." ”

That means that includes her. Qi Min was still acceptable to others who commented that she was abnormal, but changed the topic and asked, "Which canteen are we going to?" ”

"What are you doing in the cafeteria?" Zhang Zhiyong immediately said, "There is a new bullfrog hot pot outside the school, and I want to try it." Are you coming by bike or car? ”

——

Qi Min and Zhang Zhiyong rode out of the school gate, and when they arrived at the newly opened bullfrog hot pot restaurant, they found that they still had to wait for a seat.

But it's all here, so let's get a number. Qi Min took a number and asked the waiter at the front desk, and learned that he might have to wait for more than half an hour.

Qi Min felt that she was just eating an ordinary meal, and it was a bit of a loss to wait so long. But Zhang Zhiyong didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said leisurely: "Wait a while, just take a stroll here." Do you drink milk tea? ”

Qi Min hasn't drunk milk tea for a long time, and I have the impression that she often drank milk tea when she was an undergraduate, and she didn't drink it often after going abroad. Now that she heard the proposal, she felt quite novel: "Okay." ”

Qi Min and Zhang Zhiyong walked to a bubble tea shop not far away. She was still familiar with the menu of the bubble tea shop before ordering the fairy grass milk tea with coconut fruit with three points of sugar and ice, but Zhang Zhiyong ordered something that was at least twice as complex as her without thinking.

"You're a regular customer, aren't you?" Qi Min was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Zhang Zhiyong to like to drink milk tea, something she thought most girls were drinking.

"I usually order takeout." Zhang Zhiyong said, "Actually, I am used to it, and I often order together in the laboratory when I am studying for a doctorate." ”

He studied for a doctorate in the laboratory of the chemistry department of the top 2 university in China, and the surrounding area of the school was relatively prosperous, so I am afraid that the laboratory often went out to eat, drink and have fun together at that time. Qi Min guessed a little why he was waiting for the seat of this bullfrog hot pot, he should have missed the experience of eating with his lab friends before. At the restaurants around the top 2 universities, you often have to wait for a table, so when you wait for a table, you will naturally go to buy some drinks.

"Now I can find someone to order milk tea together." Qi Min suggested to him.

But Zhang Zhiyong couldn't help frowning: "The PI of the chemistry department doesn't drink milk tea." These people don't usually see each other, and even if they have dinners, they are in that kind of decent restaurant, and the entertainment is at most playing cards. ”

He's right. A school like China Technical University, which does not have many people, does not have so many young PIs at the same time. Most of the teachers are married, old and young, and they usually have to take care of the laboratory, the children and their parents, and they have to attend classes and give lectures...... I don't have time to toss around with young people.

"Then you can fool the PhD students in the lab." Qi Min proposed. Milk tea, isn't it just that as long as someone mentions it, everyone will order it? Quite a few people drink this addiction.

"Forget it with the students." Zhang Zhiyong chuckled lightly and took a sip of the cold sky crystal ball in the milk tea, "I also advise you, don't always mix with students." It's fine for you to take them to work on projects now, but if you assign everyone an independent project in the future, you still hang out with them, but anyone who has experimented with something will come to you. ”

Qi Min thought about it, in fact, there were already such signs. Ke Li said that Wang Xin and Chen Linyou really came to her as soon as something happened in the experiment, and sometimes they had to say a lot of things when they saw her when they had nothing to do, and then asked her if this was normal. In fact, they should have their own judgments, but they have become dependent on Qi Min.

It's not easy. Qi Min wanted someone to eat and play games with her, but she didn't want to wait all day to wipe her ass for a first-grader's experiment. It's really troublesome to not have seniors with juniors.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Zhang Zhiyong changed the topic first, "Have you heard that there is a new visiting scholar from the UK in the Department of Medicine?" She seems to have something to do with Li Huandong in the physics department......"
