Yan Yiqing quickly washed his hands, the scheduled time of the oven had ended, and the aroma of barbecue wafted out from the kitchen, Ye Ziling was not in the living room, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw her stunned in front of the log bookshelf in the bedroom.

When he saw the bookshelf, he remembered the painkiller capsule he had hidden, coughed, and said, "What are you looking at?" Time to eat. ”

As soon as he called, Ye Ziling came back to his senses, and his eyes drifted past the storage box on the top layer without a trace, and there was the small square box in it.

When the barbecue was brought back, it was very early, Ye Ziling put it in the oven to keep warm, and now it is more than ten o'clock in the evening, and she has been in good spirits for the past two days, and she has eaten some vegetarian dishes casually.

Yan Yi despised her and asked, "Is there anything wrong today?" Skipping meals so late. He remembered the scene when she was stunned at the lamp when she first came back, and he actually wanted her to say it herself, but it was not good to ask directly, lest she have any thoughts that she shouldn't have, so she only asked vaguely.

Sure enough, Ye Ziling didn't guess his mind this time, maybe she was absent-minded, and only said: "I ate late for lunch, I'm not too hungry." ”

Seeing that she was so light and breezy, for some reason, Yan Yiqing was in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he glanced at him, stiffened his face and didn't speak again, and the two ate in silence.

Ye Ziling actually noticed it, but she didn't think it was because of herself at all, thinking that he had encountered something not going well in the company, so she comforted very intimately: "Bad mood at work?" Ming'er will go to the company and worry about it, and go home to eat, sleep and relax. He opened another can of beer and put it in his hand.

Yan glanced at her lightly and inexplicably.

At this glance, Ye Ziling understood, made a zipper movement on his mouth to indicate that he didn't ask, and changed the topic: "Boss, don't you have the experience of eating barbecue at a roadside stall on a summer night?" This time I will make it up to you, but the time and place are not right. ”

Yan Yiqing was lightly poked by the "go home" in her previous sentence, and seeing that she was "interested" and did not continue the topic, her mood was a little worse.

But he still didn't say anything, took a big sip of beer, and the whole person looked a little impatient.

Ye Ziling finally realized that this dog man was afraid that he wanted her to guess her mind and understand the meaning conveyed by the leader herself, but she was really not in the mood today, so she was not willing to cooperate, and asked directly: "What are you awkward?" Don't you want to come back? If you don't come back, you won't come back, your legs are long on yourself, and I didn't force you, and I came back to show me a face. ”

Yan Yiqing didn't know which words in this sentence were pleased, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were also stretched, and Ye Ziling was stunned for a moment, it was inexplicable.

She said strangely: "You are so strange, are you happy to scold you?" Scolding? ”

Who knew that the dog man raised the corners of his mouth: "Eat your things, what nonsense." ”

Okay, man's heart, needle under the sea, can't be fished.

"Why didn't you cook today?"

Ye Ziling had a question mark above his head: "??? "It turned out that I was angry because I didn't cook, so you said it earlier.

So she said, "I don't want to do it, I'm tired of writing homework." ”

"You've never been tired of writing essays before."

"Hey." Ye Ziling was surprised, "You know me so well?" Am I so desperate in your eyes? ”

"Speak human words."

"Okay, okay," Ye Ziling perfunctory him, "I don't want to cook if I'm in a bad mood, what reason do I want!" ”

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

Ye Ziling's heart moved, and he said confidently: "Where do you want any reason for being in a bad mood, a woman will have no reason to be in a bad mood a week before and after she comes!" Watching a flower fall will also hurt the spring and autumn. You go to the balcony and see how sad I have to be. ”

The two sat on the floor in the living room, the room was small, the balcony was behind them, the flowers of all colors on the flower stand were all blooming, coupled with the cell's fluttering and destruction of the flowers on the ground, the residual red fell all over the balcony, Ye Ziling saw it having fun, did not clean it up in time, and rolled on the ground on the fallen flowers casually.

So when Yan Yi looked over, he saw a mess on the balcony, and there was a little thing rolling around on his belly.

"......" This is called obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness disorder, he turned his gaze back, thinking that she was angry with the cell, so he persuaded: "What are you talking about with a cat?" ”

Ye Ziling: "Huh? ”

Why do you feel that you can't communicate with this dog man today, is this a delusion?

Cell finally had enough, smelled the smell of barbecue, and ran over with crumpled petals.

The table was two feet high, and the cell fluttered its paws anxiously, unable to climb up, only smelling its smell but not its flesh, and turning around at the foot of Ye Ziling.

Ye Ziling and Yan Yiqing sat on a cloth futon alone, very close to each other, when the cell ran over, Yan Yiqing leaned back cautiously, the long hair on the little thing was full of dust and broken flowers, and it looked very dirty.

Who knew that Ye Ziling ignored it and drove it away.

Seeing that her mother couldn't help it, Cell scratched her and immediately turned around and went to another living creature to ask for food.

Yan Yiqing's body stiffened, but he glanced at Ye Ziling and forced himself to steady.

Cell saw that this living creature didn't give meat to eat, and began to circle in a hurry.

Ye Ziling couldn't, got up and went to open a bottle of cat canned food for it.

Recently, he started eating dry cat food, and with a lot more other snacks, the whole cat began to grow rapidly.

After washing, Ye Ziling was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she said goodnight and was about to sleep, but who knew that a certain dog man's hands began to be dishonest, she was disturbed and couldn't sleep, and said angrily: "Why are you such a beast!" ”

The breath is in the ear: "It's been a few days, don't you want to?" ”

I miss your grandma, Ye Ziling scolded in her heart, but as the idol she slept on, she still said perfunctory, patted him and comforted: "What I think about is that I'm not over yet!" No way! ”

Yan Yiqing didn't believe it, and he obviously wasn't appeased, his hand touched up, and then put his face up, Ye Ziling held down his hand that was messing around, closed his eyes and gave him a kiss to send him away.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost the end of the year, Yan Yiqing gradually got busy with his work, and after Ye Ziling's schoolwork was over, he also devoted himself to the experiment.

Since Qin Jin left, the project between her and Zhou Yu was temporarily taken over by a female teacher named Zheng Xingguang in the research group.

Zheng Xingguang is in his early forties, and he also has a few students under him, after all, his research direction is different from Qin Jin's, and his guidance is limited.

And Yao Lao himself has an administrative position, and he is even more busy for a whole month without seeing anyone, although he has the heart to resign from these positions in the past two years and concentrate on scientific research, but the work content is varied, and he still can't get out of his hands for a while.

Ye Ziling's topic was set when Qin Jin was there, the framework was basically laid, and the content was slowly filled in, Zheng Xingguang not only took classes and scientific research, but also had a family and children to take care of, and he left in a hurry after work, and the guidance time that could be given to students was squeezed out. Therefore, what Ye Ziling can do by herself generally doesn't bother her.

With the end of the course, the undergraduate students have been on vacation one after another, the number of students on the campus of Qingyi University has decreased a lot, and the weekly group meeting of graduate students has also stopped, and they are all preparing for the year-end summary.

The year-end summary is generally a big group meeting, and there are four little teachers under Yao Lao, each of whom brought their own students, plus Yao Lao's own disciples, and the number of students alone is nearly twenty. Usually I hold my own meeting in one research direction, and only hold a big report and summary at the end of the year, and small research groups should also communicate with each other.

Ye Ziling, as a freshman in graduate school, according to the practice of previous years, does not need to report her work, just find a literature related to her major for detailed interpretation, but after all, she has been following the topic since she was an undergraduate, in addition to the two Chinese core journal papers issued, the data in her current hands have applied for an international patent, and the rest have begun to prepare for the international top journal. Therefore, Yao Lao suggested that she sort out the things at hand, make a report to everyone, and sort out her thoughts by the way.

Her topic belongs to the sub-topic of Qin Jin's project, according to Qin Jin's research, a regulatory gene involved in the rapid growth of plants was screened out, and later after a series of bioinformatics analysis, it was found that this was a completely new gene, and in other species there are only gene family annotations, no functional annotations, she checked the latest research at home and abroad, and was stunned to find no relevant research.

However, with the rapid development of gene sequencing and bioinformatics in recent years, species sequencing is so convenient that it is impossible for such a clear gene with important functions to be studied by no one.

She cloned this gene when she graduated from undergrad, and after the start of school, she took advantage of the lack of classes to build a vector of this gene, and after measuring the sequence, it was directly transformed into the model plant Arabidopsis, according to her observation, the offspring of this plant do grow much faster than the wild type.

If you can figure out the pathway of mutual regulation with this gene, even if it is just a prediction, it can definitely be regarded as innovation, and if the function of this gene can be proven, it will also have a very great contribution to the future industry, which can be regarded as a breakthrough that takes into account the innovation and practicality of basic research.

No one paid attention to such an obvious bug, and Ye Ziling was also suspicious at the beginning.

After communicating with Qin Jin, she hoped to take this topic as the research direction of her graduation thesis, but Qin Jin was a little hesitant at first, because there were many uncertainties in the middle, and she was afraid that she would be busy until the last one.

But scientific research is like this, the direction of an unknown problem, no one can see ten steps in advance, can see three steps away, that is already considered profound, how many shocking research at the beginning are vague, no future can be seen.

Ye Ziling had only studied for the first time, and she had plenty of time, so in October, she persuaded Qin Jin and Yao Lao with the only little data in her hand.

It was also because I observed the potential of this gene that I tried to write an international patent for this gene.

After a series of analyses such as detailed comparison of the sequence of this gene, construction of an evolutionary tree, and naming, she began to overexpress, screen, and resequence.

We are currently waiting for the sequencing results to come out.

But Ye Ziling also thought about it later, since the function is so important, he will give it comprehensively, and considering that the international top journals are no longer able to accept the verification of expression function, and it is at the time when gene editing technology CRISPR is emerging in plants, it is easy to do a knockout again, combined with the results of RNAi, and do not worry that the function cannot be proven.

But proof of function is only the first step in the research.

On the day of the year-end report, the big boss Yao Shanshan was late, although he still had other jobs, but seeing him get out of the elevator with a spring breeze on his face, I am afraid that he had made an appointment with his wife to celebrate the New Year together.

Ye Ziling congratulated him casually, and Yao Lao shook his head and smiled heartily.
