The weather was nice on Saturday.
The thick clouds let in a hint of warm sunlight. Myrna sweated a little during her morning run. She went home, took a shower, changed her clothes, took the medicine she had bought, and took a taxi to Professor Thoreau’s house.
“Professor, these medicines are to be taken three times a day. The weather is cold now, so there is no need to put them in the refrigerator. Just remember to heat them up when you take them.”
Professor Thoreau is not afraid of anything, but what he hates most is the smell of Chinese medicine. Not only is it unpalatable, it also smells bad.
She looked at the black medicine, moved away silently, and finally struggled once more.
?? Do you have to drink it???
“Of course you have to drink it.” Myrna said, “I have already told my aunt at home to watch you three times a day without interruption.”
Professor Thoreau’s face fell: “Oh, I see.”
She couldn’t refuse to drink because of the student’s kindness.
Seeing her look of disgust, like a child, Myrna smiled secretly: “The medicine is quite bitter, so I also brought you some mung bean cakes from Chunxi Road.”
“Every time you drink the medicine and eat a piece of mung bean cake, it won’t be so bitter.”
The man who had just been frowning suddenly smiled: “That’s better.”
After enough small talk, Sarah got down to business.
“Next year, the School of Biology at University B intends to set up an experimental team. Three candidates have been selected, and there are only two spots left.”
“There are two conditions. The grades and the comprehensive average scores of all subjects must be excellent. Secondly, the experimental scores must be A or above twice.”
Myrna was a little surprised that the conditions for an experimental group were so strict .
Professor Thoreau saw what she was thinking and explained, “Joining this experimental group will give you extra points at the end of the semester. Outstanding group members can go directly to the doctoral program, or accept the offer from Ambrosia Biotechnology Research and Development Company and join their research laboratory.”
Ambrosia Biotech is a leader not only in this country but also in the world.
Their own laboratory, equipped with the most advanced equipment in the industry and a strong collaborative team, has produced the most advanced biotechnology research results in the country and is known as a “scientists’ paradise.”
Myrna remembered that the Ambrosia organism belonged to Gus Family , and Dempsey had indeed mentioned it before.
“I know your grades very well, so I never worry about your ability.” Professor Thoreau looked at her with gentle eyes, “The only thing you lack now is experimental experience.”
In recent years, Myrna has almost never entered the laboratory.
Familiarity with the operation, dexterity of the hands, and lack of understanding of the use of new equipment are all problems.
In addition to talent, it also takes a lot of time.
else does Dempsey do in the lab every day?
The more you practice, the more skilled you become.
Experience also accumulates more and more.
Suddenly, a pair of old and warm hands held hers. Myrna looked up and saw the smile on the professor’s face: “I believe in your ability. It’s not too late to start now.”
Myrna’s heart moved and she nodded heavily.
“I’m not worried about the postgraduate entrance exam. It’s still a few months before the retest. During this time, you should study these books and materials I gave you thoroughly.”
Sarah has an experiment in hand, which was launched five years ago but has not produced any results until today.
She planned to let Myrna join in as soon as school started. After all, this project was tailor-made for her. But she didn’t expect…
Forget it, we are back on track in the end, and I won?? t mention the twists and turns in between.
Myrna also knew how much the professor cared about her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
??
When she got home, she began to look through the materials she had brought back.
Compared with the postgraduate entrance examination textbooks, these things are more difficult to understand because they involve specific operations and specific research results, and require experimental experience.
I forgot the time when I saw it, and when I came to my senses, it was almost dawn.
Myrna rubbed her tired eyes and prepared to go to sleep. Just as she lay down, there was a frantic knock on the door.
” Myrna – open the door! I know you’re in there!”
Even though there were two doors between the living room and the bedroom, Ansel ‘s voice reached her ears instantly.
?? Bang, bang, bang????
The knocking on the door became louder and louder.
Thinking of the last time he almost raped her in the villa, Myrna’s lips turned pale and she tightened her grip on the quilt.
” Myrna???? ”
“Open the door??”
” Myrna???? ”
She covered her ears, hoping that the man would give up and leave if she didn’t get a response.
However, five minutes later, Ansel was still banging on the door, as if he would keep banging unless she opened it.
The old neighborhood has poor soundproofing, and it was the dead of night and he was making a lot of noise. If he continues like this, he will be scolded sooner or later!
really–
“Who is this? It’s so noisy in the middle of the night. Can’t I get a good night’s sleep?!”
“What mad dog is barking so late at night??”
” If you don’t get out of here, I’ll call the police!”
Myrna had no choice but to throw off the quilt, get out of bed, put on her slippers and walk behind the door.
” Ansel , what are you crazy about?!” She gritted her teeth in anger.
“?? I knew you were there.”
“so what?!”
“Open the door and let me in.”
“Why? Who do you think you are? Come in if you want!”
Ansel pulled the corner of his mouth: “Okay, then I’ll keep knocking on the door.”
“you–”
“I knocked??”
Myrna had no choice but to open the door.
Ansel took the opportunity to push hard, fearing that she would regret it if he was late, and closed the door again.
The man reeked of alcohol, his cheeks were abnormally flushed, and he was staggering as if he would fall down at any second.
Myrna frowned and stepped back three steps defensively.
“What do you want to do?”
Ansel stared at her with his dark, intoxicated eyes, saying nothing.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly spoke softly: ” Myrna , come back…”
Myrna shook her head and gathered her coat: “You know, it’s impossible.”
“Half a year, isn’t that enough?”
” Ansel , I’m not messing with you, do you understand?”
“I don’t understand – what do you want? Tell me! An apology? Make amends? Or kneel on the keyboard or the durian?”
This is the last bottom line he can retreat to, and it is also the maximum extent to which he can bow his head.
After countless quarrels, he had never been so submissive.
But Myrna still shook her head.
“That’s enough! Don’t go too far!”
Ansel finished yelling and gasped.
“You are willing to let me in. Doesn’t that mean there is still room for maneuver between us? Tell me what your conditions are! Just tell me!”
Ansel gritted his teeth. He had already retreated to this point, what else did she want?
Myrna : ?? I let you in because I don?? t want you to disturb others, that?? s all.??
“You said that if we break up, we break up. We should be more straightforward and free and easy. So what are you doing now?”
Ansel took two steps forward and tried to grab her shoulders.
The woman stepped back in fear, her eyes full of horror: “Don’t touch me????”
