Chapter.40

"Experiment No. [-] stopped breathing and was confirmed dead."

"Experiment No. [-] had an allergic reaction and was confirmed dead."

"Experiment No. [-] stopped breathing and was confirmed dead."

After letting out a sigh of relief, Shang Zhiqiu leaned back on the chair exhaustedly, his eyes still fixed on the experimental mice in the cage, as if mourning the life of the mice that were used for testing because of the experiment, or as if they were not I am willing to burn all my theories in a flash.

She remembered that she only told the professor in the morning that she had made progress in the test, but everything was overturned in the afternoon. What went wrong?

She plucked her hair, took off the goggles on the bridge of her nose in agitation, and sat there motionless, as if she had been tapped.It wasn't until someone knocked on the door of the laboratory that she realized that she had just been in a daze.

Seeing that it was Lin Xuan who knocked on the door, I was a little surprised why she came to the laboratory to look for her at this time.

"Why are you here?" Shang Zhiqiu moved his body that was numb from the daze just now.

"You...have you eaten yet?" Lin Xuan looked at Shang Zhiqiu hesitantly, with an expression of not knowing what she wanted to say but not daring to say it. Although Shang Zhiqiu found it strange, he did not No wonder, anyway, Lin Xuan is often weird.

"Not yet, what's the matter? You came here to ask me if I have eaten?" I looked at my watch and found that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't feel hungry at all. hungry.

"No, I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to chat with you." Lin Xuan looked left and right, fiddled with the test tubes on the table with her hands.

"Be careful, these things are very dangerous, the skin will rot if you touch it." Shang Zhiqiu hurriedly stopped Lin Xuan's hands and feet. Think of a way, she has a way of researching chemical components, but she can't do it by asking her to heal skin ulcers. It can only be done by calling someone from the medical school.

"Tsk! You said that you are a good girl. Instead of learning some ancient Chinese and English, what did you come here to do with hydrogen and potassium?" Lin Xuan retracted her hand in horror, and scolded Shang Zhiqiu in disgust. , but what I have to say is that her good friend is still full of temperament in that white laboratory coat, and feels like a doctor.

"Hehe, are you here to talk to me about career planning?" Shang Zhiqiu looked at Lin Xuan who was very strange today with a funny face.

"Of course not...you...are you going home?" Lin Xuan curled her lips and knew that she was going too far. She knew Shang Zhiqiu's major, and she was required to learn those things for her major. Literature on paper really buried this talent.

"Not yet, what's the matter?" Shang Zhiqiu replied to Lin Xuan while sorting out the documents on the table.

"Uh...you..." Lin Xuan looked at Shang Zhiqiu absent-mindedly, holding the cell phone tightly in her hand.

"What's the matter with you? Is there anything you can't tell me?" Shang Zhiqiu stopped what he was doing and looked at her strangely. "You're very strange today, what's the matter? Could it be... that you're in love? Hehehe." After speaking, she laughed to herself, as if Lin Xuan's falling in love is a very funny thing.

"What! That's not it! It's so strange...I...I do this every day!" Lin Xuan retorted angrily, if she didn't see the news on the Internet and was worried that Shang Zhiqiu would be thinking wildly, so she hurried over Look at her, who knows that she was even teased by this guy, this guy with no EQ, hum!

"Well...that's true." Shang Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow, agreeing with this matter without any suspense.

"Bad guy!" Lin Xuan glared at Shang Zhiqiu angrily. Looking at this guy, could it be that he hasn't seen the news yet?Otherwise, how could it be so normal.

"Okay, okay, I'm a bad guy, I'm the worst." Shang Zhiqiu packed up the experimental equipment while smiling, she wanted to eat.

"Hmph!" Lin Xuan felt that it was better to tell Shang Zhiqiu earlier, otherwise those who were not mentally prepared would not be heartbroken when they saw the news.

Lin Xuan held out her mobile phone to Shang Zhiqiu without saying a word, Shang Zhiqiu looked at her suspiciously, why did she give her the mobile phone, she already had a mobile phone.Speaking of the mobile phone, she hasn't looked at her mobile phone for a few hours. I don't know if Park Xiyan has sent her a message back. Thinking of this, she wanted to get her own mobile phone, but was confused by the mobile phone that Lin Xuan stuffed over. , Is this a forced mobile phone?

"You'll know it just by looking at it. Don't think too much. You have to calm down." Lin Xuan looked at Shang Zhiqiu with a blank expression, and waited to see if she could maintain this expression.

Suspiciously glanced at Lin Xuan, then turned to look at Lin Xuan's phone, unlocked it, and it was an entertainment news, and when he was still wondering, he saw the familiar figure in the news photo, Shang Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment , Only then did she carefully read the content of the news. When she saw the title of "Park Xiyan and Liu Changmin are in love", she was in a daze, and it didn't even matter what the content said.

"Qiuqiu, are you okay?" Looking at Shang Zhiqiu who was staring at the phone, Lin Xuan asked worriedly.

“…”

"Uh... You also know that the entertainment industry loves to look at photos and tell stories. This doesn't mean anything!" Seeing that Shang Zhiqiu didn't say a word, Lin Xuan could only try her best to explain, God knows why? The abuse done by others requires me to explain it!

"I'm fine, are you hungry? Go eat with me!" Shang Zhiqiu returned the phone to Lin Xuan, looked at her and asked, picked up his bag, put all his things in, walked to the door and looked at Lin Xuan , raised one eyebrow in doubt and said, "What? Are you losing weight?"

"...How is it possible? Does my sister look like someone who needs to lose weight? What's wrong with just going to eat with you!" Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then followed Shang Zhiqiu to leave in big strides .

------------------------------------------

Later, the two ate a big bowl of cheap food near the school. During this period, Shang Zhiqiu didn't say a word about Pu Xiyan, and Lin Xuan didn't have a clue, so she could only pretend to be dumb and didn't take the initiative to mention it. Since Shang Zhiqiu doesn't even mention that she is an outsider, and it's not easy to say anything. After all, the relationship is a matter between two people. Naturally, her good friend should be a good companion!

"I'm so full!" After paying, Lin Xuan walked out of the snack bar and touched her full stomach with a sigh.

"Who told you to order so many! It was me who wanted to eat, but it turned out that you ordered it." Shang Zhiqiu looked at Lin Xuan helplessly, and she couldn't help but recall the table full of dishes just now. Hit a pimple, how did so many things get stuffed into that stomach?

"It's so delicious~~ It hurts to think that I won't be able to eat these delicacies after graduation!!!" Lin Xuan excitedly grabbed Shang Zhiqiu's arm and shook it.

"You can come back to eat when you are free." She really didn't want to talk to her, she wanted to pretend that she didn't know her, but she grabbed her hand.

"That's right." Lin Xuan nodded with a sober expression that seemed to make sense.

"Oh..." Shang Zhiqiu really didn't understand how he knew her like this back then.At this moment, the phone rang, and she quickly took it out to look, and found that it was her father. She kind of knew what the purpose of the call was, and connected the call.

Seeing her suddenly serious face, Lin Xuan didn't make trouble, and obediently walked beside Shang Zhiqiu.

"I see, I will go home today." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

"How is it? Is it your father?" Lin Xuan asked nervously. She also knew about Shang Zhiqiu and her father. Although she thought it would be better for Shang Zhiqiu to move back home, it was Shang Zhiqiu's. Decide that she will not refute!

"Well, you go back to the dormitory first! I'll go home first." Shang Zhiqiu put away her phone and said to Lin Xuan. She knew what her father was going to tell her when she got home this time, but it was just news Is it just a report? You don't need to take it seriously at all. Park Xiyan said it, don't take it seriously if it's not her own words.

She believed her, as long as she said she would believe it.

-------------------------------------

It’s the same study room again, with a faint scent of sandalwood and some books that have been hidden for a long time. It was originally a relaxing smell, but now Shang Zhiqiu feels that it makes her feel suffocated and out of breath. , her father in her memory has this kind of smell. Her father has no smell of tobacco or alcohol, but always has a faint smell of books. She knows that this is because her mother likes to read books. I became fond of reading, and even bought some foreign books for my mother whenever I was on a business trip. Speaking of which, this study room was specially designed by my father for my mother, and even the desk and other furniture were purchased by my mother.

There are too many memories in this study room. On the left wall of the study room is a family portrait of them. It was a family portrait taken when she was 12 years old. At that time, their family was still complete, without sadness or regret. Not... mutilated.

"You should still remember what you promised me a week ago?" Father Shang asked Shang Zhiqiu while sitting at the desk with a book in his eyes.

"Remember." Shang Zhiqiu sat across from Father Shang, staring at the lines on the table.

"Then... what's the news?" Dad Shang raised an eyebrow and asked, he couldn't help but say that this movement was exactly the same as Shang Zhiqiu's, and it was really father and daughter.

"fake."

"..." Father Shang, who was choked up by Shang Zhiqiu's words and couldn't say anything, looked bewildered.

"Father, I hope you don't stop me from dating Xiyan. I have grown up and I understand what I want. Since it is my choice, I will take responsibility for my choice, even if in the end... I don't regret hurting me." When Shang Zhiqiu raised her head, she looked firm, she would not regret falling in love with Pu Xiyan, nor would she regret what she said today.

"Have you ever thought that she is a public figure, and your love cannot be accepted by everyone."

"Why should our love be accepted by those people? What do they have to do with us? What are they in our love? They are just strangers who don't like others. If I really want to say that I care who is accepted, then that person It's you, Dad... I hope you can bless us." Shang Zhiqiu looked at Dad Shang sadly, she never cared about other people's opinions, why would she deny her inner throbbing and anger because of some people she didn't know? The hard-won love affair?

"Zhiqiu... It's not that Dad doesn't bless you, but that her status is too high-profile, and I'm afraid you will be hurt." Why doesn't Shang's father want his daughter to be happy? He can't lose the person he loves all his life because of him Just to prevent my daughter from getting a chance to be happy, it's just...it's okay if it's someone else, but why is it a female artist?

"I can't interfere with her career, but life is ours. I'm willing to make me a shadow even for her sake, so why not as long as we're still together? When my mother passed away, I couldn't survive." Shang Zhiqiu couldn't help the tears streaming down his cheeks after all.

"...You!?" Father Shang looked at Shang Zhiqiu in shock. This was the first time he heard Shang Zhiqiu's inner words since his wife passed away. He knew that he was the saddest person when his wife passed away, but he didn't Do you know that your daughter would actually think this way?

"Father... I am also responsible for the death of my mother. I am afraid. I regret every day why I didn't find out about my mother's abnormality earlier that day, so that she will not die...she will not die!" Shang Zhi Qiu cried excitedly about the guilt she had hidden for the past three years. She didn't dare to see her father's eyes because she was the one who made him look like this.

"No, it's not your fault! Zhiqiu, don't think so much, it's not your fault." Father Shang stood up sadly, went around Shang Zhiqiu, squatted down to hug her, and patted her on the back with both hands. comforted her.

"It's my fault! That day...if I...I...if I could have been to the greenhouse earlier...I wouldn't have..." Shang Zhiqiu was crying, even though it had been three years, she had Sometimes at night, she still thinks about the scene of that day. She can't fall asleep, and she can't forget the shock and panic when she went to the greenhouse and found her mother lying unconscious on the ground. I will think of my mother's face at that time.

"It's not your fault, Zhiqiu, your mother won't blame you, don't cry, don't cry." Shang's father wiped Shang Zhiqiu's tears with his hands, and he was also heartbroken about the pain of losing his wife, which was just his wife's illness There were good times and bad times. No one knew that Mother Shang would be ill that day, and it was too late when she was sent to the hospital. Even after rescue, there was no way to recover. That day, he could only kneel outside the operating room and cry silently.

After crying for a while, Shang Zhiqiu also calmed down. Her face was still stained with tears, and she pursed her lips. Maybe it was the guilt from crying or these private things that she never dared to tell anyone. Feeling much better, she raised her head to look at Father Shang, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Father Shang nodded and patted Shang Zhiqiu's head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, as long as you are well, Dad will be very happy."

"...I'm sorry, Dad, but... I still can't separate from Park Xiyan."

The author has something to say:

In the past few days, I saw an article that made me have mixed emotions. At first, I thought "hmm~ it's very interesting!" In the end, when the direction of the article became more and more unsatisfactory, I was hesitating whether to continue reading it, but I’ve read half of it!!!! Let’s not talk about this, the point is that this article is too serious. When I turned around to write a serious article, I found that I had a split personality, right?How can you turn around and write such a serious article in this chapter after reading countless articles in the last second? .... leave me alone.

I originally wanted to finish the article as soon as possible, but why the more I write the more plots! ?Am I really affected...
