Heartburn

Chi Zhao has such a character, like a straightforward and loyal puppy, you can treat him coldly or ignore him, he will be wronged and sad, but afterward he will touch you with his wet nose and wag his tail make you laugh.

Such a puppy cannot be rejected. At the beginning, Fu Nan'an was not willing to come to him. Although he promised Chi Zhao not to be cold to him, he still didn't want him to waste too much time with him.But there are some things that you can't go back to once you soften your heart once, and you can't stop it. Every time Chi Zhao carefully asked him "Is it okay" and "Is it okay", hearing Chi Zhao's sincere request, Fu Nan'an would Can no longer refuse him.

For example, this time recruiting undergraduates to do research projects.

Fu Nan'an is a graduate student majoring in psychology, but he has a clinical background and is good at basic experiments. Fu Nan'an's new project requires animal experiments. He wants to recruit a few clinical students to help, but Chi Zhao didn't even think about it. signed up.

-[Professor Fu, can you see me? ]

After receiving the message, Fu Nan'an did not reply immediately. There were too many patients this day and he was busy all the time. After getting off work in the evening, Fu Nan'an checked the messages on WeChat, and Chi Zhao had already sent several more.

-[Professor Fu, are you there? ]

-[Professor, look at me, give me a chance to try. ]

-[I have experience with other teachers before, and I will definitely not bother you. ]

-[I promise I have no other thoughts, really. ]

Or how can I say that Chi Zhao can always touch people's hearts? His aggrieved tone makes you reluctant to reject him. In fact, there are not many students in their grade who are willing to do basic experiments. After graduation, everyone has to plan for their future. Here, Fu Nan'an is in the psychology department and not clinical, and there are only three or four people who signed up, but Chi Zhao regards this as a treasure.

Fu Nan'an typed: [How is your preparation for going abroad? ]

Chi Zhao replied in seconds: [Professor, don't worry, I will definitely arrange the time. ]

Afraid that Fu Nan'an would not like it, he hurriedly added: [Moreover, I can write the experiment in my resume, which is also helpful for applying to schools! ]

There is indeed such an advantage in following the experiment. When the time comes to produce results, you can bring the names of the team members. Some foreign tutors are interested in this. It is indeed a bonus for you to follow the experiment.

Speaking of which, Fu Nan'an has no reason to refuse. What's more, he also has a preference for Chi Zhao. People who are familiar with him are always comfortable to get along with. Chi Zhao is a very down-to-earth person. When he was in the psychology department, he often Help Fu Nan'an type.

Fu Nan'an's eyes are blind, so writing materials is always inconvenient. Although there is voice recognition software, there are still many typos. When he was in the psychology department, Chi Zhao often helped Fu Nan'an check outdated documents for voice conversion. He is very careful. , the files he checked had few errors.

Fu Nan'an hadn't replied yet, Chi Zhao's message came again, seeing that the text didn't work, he sent a voice message directly.

"Professor, just give me a chance, I really want to go."

He was really good at catching Fu Nan'an's mind, his cautious tone with a little tail and nasal sound, scratching like a small hook, Fu Nan'an's heart softened.

It was like some little animal was looking at you with wet eyes, and coquettishly whispered in your ear, Fu Nan'an turned on the voice and listened to it twice, the soft voice echoed in the room, Fu Nan'an pressed the voice Key, said: "Come if you want."

Not many students came to sign up, and even fewer students sincerely wanted to stay. It was March and April, and it was time for the interns to prepare for the re-examination of the institute. Fu Nan'an finally confirmed three candidates, except In addition to Chi Zhao, there are two students, a boy and a girl. The boys are psychological, and the girls are clinical like Chi Zhao.

"Thank you for coming," Fu Nan'an held a welcome meeting for them on the day they officially joined the project team. He said to them with a smile, "I will thank you for your help in the future."

"Professor, please don't say that," the boy from the psychology department immediately continued, "Don't be polite to us."

"Yes, Professor, you don't need to be polite to us." Chi Zhao and the girl also agreed, and Fu Nan'an nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."

Now that he has joined the project team, Fu Nan'an will not be polite to them. He is here to work and study. Professor Fu is not lying.This project involves a lot of animal experiments. Fu Nanan will tell them to clean the cages and wash the test tubes, and also teach them to analyze data and design experiments. This kind of life is very fulfilling, unlike some teachers who only let undergraduates do some manual labor. The three learned a lot of experimental thinking and knowledge here.

This is a newly opened project, still in the initial stage, preparing to apply for the fund, and it was a busy time, Chi Zhao was full and happy, and vaguely realized the crisis soon - the clinical girl who came with him seemed to be I'm a little bit interested in Fu Nan'an.

The girl's name is Jiang Yingxue, she has a ponytail and big eyes. She is pretty and has a good personality.She has a sweet mouth, and on the first day of her arrival, she praised all the senior brothers and sisters without any seriousness, and all the senior brothers and sisters smiled at her.

"Our junior sister Yingxue is so cute." A senior sister blushed a little after being praised by her, "You are too good at complimenting others, I am so embarrassed."

Another senior brother directly patted his chest: "Speak up, little junior sister, just tell me wherever you need us in the future, just praise you for being so good, and senior brother will definitely help you!"

"I'm telling the truth," Jiang Yingxue said hastily, with a very modest tone: "I didn't quite understand it when I first came here, and I will trouble my brothers and sisters to take care of me in the future."

Excellent people are always modest, and they say they don’t understand. Jiang Yingxue’s hands-on ability is actually very strong. Chi Zhao has worked with other research groups before, and has learned many processes. Jiang Yingxue has never been in contact with this before. Taking classes together, she can quickly grasp the essentials.

"You are too good," Chi Zhao sighed sincerely, "You can do what I have learned for several days in a few hours."

"You taught me." Jiang Yingxue was still very modest, "I learned it from you."

No one would dislike such a person, and everyone quickly became one with Jiang Yingxue, and Chi Zhao also thought she was an excellent and dazzling person.It was a pleasure to work with such a person, until that day when there were only the two of them in the laboratory, Jiang Yingxue carefully pulled Chi Zhao aside: "Brother Chi, I want to ask you something."

Chi Zhao said, "Say it."

Jiang Yingxue looked around first, and then asked Chi Zhao with a smile: "Brother Chi, does Professor Fu have a girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Chi Zhao was stunned for a moment, Jiang Yingxue's cheeks were blushing, and his eyes were full of anticipation, so Chi Zhao understood everything: "You... like Professor Fu?"

"I came here for him," Jiang Yingxue smiled confidently and brilliantly, "I fell in love with him the first time I saw him."

She continued to ask Chi Zhao: "Professor Fu should not have a date, right? I asked several people and they all said no. You have a good relationship with the professor. You must know it."

The entire project team knew that Chi Zhao and Fu Nan'an had a good relationship. Fu Nan'an liked to call Chi Zhao for everything. They did have a good relationship, but they were separated by a floor. They were not lovers. Chi Zhao's lips opened and closed again. , and can only say: "Well, he has no partner."

"Then I'm relieved." Jiang Yingxue smiled brightly, and she was bound to win.

When he saw the smile on her face, a strange feeling suddenly flashed in Chi Zhao's heart. The next afternoon, Fu Nan'an came to the laboratory to watch the project. Jiang Yingxue directly brought a large bouquet of flowers, and 99 gorgeous red roses were handed to Fu Nan'an. : "Professor Fu, I like you, can I chase you?"

This is indeed too bold, the laboratory was quiet for two seconds, and then burst into cheers and applause.

"Cow! Little Junior Sister Yingxue is too reckless!"

"Courage, too much courage."

"Professor, would you consider our little junior sister?"

Everyone joked one after another, and Fu Nan'an couldn't hear any emotion in his voice: "Come out with me."

Jiang Yingxue went out holding flowers, while the lab was still discussing intensely.

"Do you think Professor Fu will agree?" a brother asked Chi Zhao.

Chi Zhao shook his head, answering and comforting himself: "Probably not, I haven't seen Professor Fu promise anyone's confession before."

"I don't think so," the senior brother clicked his tongue twice, looking like he was enjoying the show, "The professor has praised Jiang Yingxue several times, saying that she has strong abilities, and they can be regarded as talented and beautiful."

Another senior sister also answered, with an excited expression on her face: "By the way, Uncle Jiang Yingxue is the vice president of our hospital, my dear, if this really happens, will it be considered as an added kiss?"

Internships are not like studying in high school. The relationship between teachers and students is not so insurmountable, and the age difference is not that big. Occasionally, students chase after teachers, and teachers chase students. Whether it is successful or not is worth gossiping after dinner A few other brothers and sisters in the laboratory looked at each other and teased each other, while Chi Zhao silently went to the side to clean up the test tube.

He couldn't describe how he felt right now.

In the early spring, in the evening, the water in the water pipe was flowing slowly, and at some point outside the window, there was a light rain, which fell on the ground patteringly, and soon wet the dry ground.

Fu Nan'an was still talking with Jiang Yingxue, and faint human voices could be heard from time to time, so it was unclear what they were talking about.

What will they talk about?

Chi Zhao didn't dare to think about it, his heart seemed to be immersed in lemon water, it was sour, and it fell slowly.

Yes, so many people like Professor Fu, enthusiastically and dazzlingly, they are all so outstanding, and he is just the most ordinary one among them. At this moment, Chi Zhao's heart felt sour with genuine feeling.

Dozens of test tubes were finished quickly, and Chi Zhao put them upside down on the test tube rack. The brother told him that he could leave, but he didn't want to leave yet, so he just sat on the side and looked out the window.

The spring rain is silent, quietly wet the road, the street lights on the road are on, and the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry.Chi Zhaobai rested his head on his hands in boredom, his thoughts drifted unconsciously, what were Fu Nan'an and Jiang Yingxue talking about?Will you also talk about the topics they talked about?Will Professor Fu tell Jiang Yingxue what he thinks like when he was chatting with himself?Even, would he tell Jiang Yingxue "I have thought about you"?

Reason tells Chi Zhao that Fu Nan'an is not such a person, but when your thoughts are flying, you can't control your own thoughts at all, Chi Zhao frowned a little irritably, until—"Chi Zhao?"

When Fu Nan'an's voice rang in his ears, Chi Zhao was dazed for a moment.

"What are you thinking?" Fu Nan'an took two steps closer, and his voice became clear all of a sudden, "Unhappy? Why didn't you respond to several calls?"

"I...I..." Chi Zhao faltered twice, and Fu Nan'an asked him again, "Are you free now? Come and help me check the typos?"

Chi Zhao quickly reacted: "Oh, okay, I've finished brushing the test tubes, I'll go with you."

The life of blind people is much harder than imagined, especially for professors who need to do research. Many of the materials that Fu Nan'an needs need to be printed out, which cannot be completed by himself.

Even the simplest writing is difficult when you are blind. One line and two lines are okay, but if there are too many words, you may overlap and type. It is even more inconvenient to type if you can’t write by hand. The recognition error rate of terminology software is still very high.

These days are just about to be busy, and Fu Nan'an is preparing to apply for project funds. Chi Zhao followed him to the small office next to him to help him check the typos on the project application.

The laboratory building is quiet at night, Chi Zhao is sitting in front of the computer and reading carefully, Fu Nan'an is sitting beside him.Occasionally, some experimental procedures are unclear, and the senior brothers and sisters will come to Fu Nan'an to let him take a look. Most of the time, Fu Nan'an just sits quietly next to Chi Zhao, reading literature with a Bluetooth headset.

After checking another page of documents, Chi Zhao finally couldn't help but speak: "...Professor Fu."

"What?" Fu Nan'an took off the earphone on one side, and the content read by the phone automatically stopped playing, "Is there something wrong?"

His expression was calm and gentle, Chi Zhao hesitated for a while, and asked casually, "You... why didn't you see Jiang Yingxue, didn't she come back with you?"

"Jiang Yingxue?" Fu Nan'an seemed unwilling to mention the name, and frowned, "I let her go back."

Chi Zhao didn't react for a while: "Go back? Has she asked for leave?"

"No," Fu Nan'an said, "I won't be here anymore."

Chi Zhao was a little surprised. He had thought that Fu Nan'an would reject Jiang Yingxue, but he didn't expect him to refuse so simply. Regardless of his family background, Jiang Yingxue is indeed a very good person. Fu Nan'an had praised her more than once before: "Why?"

"Why else?" Seeing that he was still asking, Fu Nan'an looked a little helpless, "Didn't you all see what happened just now, she wasn't thinking about the experiment."

These two days are the busiest time for the research team. Fu Nan'an is preparing to apply for project funds, and spends almost every day in the laboratory. Everyone is overworked, but Jiang Yingxue chooses this time to confess in public. Is indifferent: "I want someone who can do things with peace of mind, this project is not suitable for her."

Professor Fu's tone was too cold, Chi Zhao's heart sank suddenly, his mind was not on the experiment, this sentence seemed to imply something, and Chi Zhao also had other thoughts about Professor Fu.

The air suddenly became quiet, Chi Zhao's lips moved, and he asked softly, "Then... what about me?"

Although he successfully joined the project team, Chi Zhao couldn't hold back Fu Nan'an's attitude. He always felt that he had brought Professor Fu a lot of trouble, because he had been stalking, so Fu Nan'an had to do it time and time again. compromising and acquiescing.Chi Zhao's voice subconsciously lowered: "Will I... trouble you?"

Worrying and uneasy, Chi Zhao's emotions suddenly reached the peak. He has been pestering Fu Nan'an for too long, and he has been working hard unilaterally. He is afraid that Professor Fu will hate him.Chi Zhao carefully observed Fu Nan'an's expression, and when the topic turned to him, Fu Nan'an frowned slightly, and then smiled lightly.

"What are you thinking?" he said.

Chi Zhao was still not at ease, and subconsciously asked, "Really?"

"What are you afraid of?" Fu Nan'an raised his eyes helplessly, feeling him with those light gray eyes, "Do you really want to leave?"

"I do not want!"

Chi Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said no, with a very sincere tone, Fu Nan'an shook his head and chuckled, and said, "That's fine."

"I want to keep the ones that can stay with me," Fu Nan'an tapped the table with his knuckles: "Concentrate on it, and go back as soon as you finish."

Being able to stay here is what I want to stay, Chi Zhao laughed when he heard this sentence, Chi Zhao nodded and said yes, his eyes returned to the computer screen again, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.

That's right, he knows Professor Fu's temper. He looks gentle on the surface, but he is absolutely straightforward and indifferent when he rejects people. There are many people who confess to him, and there are many people who say they want to chase him, but there is no one else around him. , Chi Zhao is the one closest to him.

Chi Zhao turned his head and glanced at Fu Nan'an. The corners of Professor Fu's lips were slightly lifted and there was a smile, which was unique in front of him, so Chi Zhao's eyes suddenly brightened, and his heart seemed to be caught by a big Wrapped in soft clouds, it flew higher and higher, and Chi Zhao felt that he was about to float up.

——Professor Fu wanted to keep him!
