Chapter 262 If I can't talk about feelings, I can only focus on my career (Please subscribe)
After chatting with Luo Tingzhu, Fang Ziye discovered that Luo Tingzhu simply considered what happened in the respiratory medicine department as a minor episode in the past.

This little incident didn't affect her life or leave a shadow; it just caused her to have a biased choice when making decisions.

Fang Ziye did not ask Wu Xuanqi about the photos of Luo Tingzhu that appeared in the group.

There is no need for that.

Since you've chosen to believe, then believe to the end.

At least, right now, Luo Tingzhu on the other end of the video call is eating ice cream with a "provocative" expression while smiling at the sun.

Yes, Luo Tingzhu's period is from the end of the month to the beginning of the next month.

During this period, Luo Tingzhu would abstain from spicy food and cold drinks. Now that the abstinence period is over, she's become craving them again, hasn't she?
"Poverty is a disease, so the best remedy is to work hard."

"Otherwise, we'll have to buy lottery tickets," Fang Ziye remarked.

After some back and forth, the two brought up the topic again. Luo Tingzhu mainly asked if Fang Ziye was free and if he would like to go on a trip, since it's possible to do a road trip in the United States.

"Actually, if the distance is relatively far, the round-trip travel expenses are the biggest cost. If the distance is not far, food, drinks, and entertainment are the biggest costs."

“My senior’s boyfriend also went abroad, but not to the same state. They only meet once a month, and the related expenses are quite high,” Luo Tingzhu said generously.

"Related expenses? What expenses?" Fang Ziye asked.

“Uh…” Luo Tingzhu quickly glossed over this sensitive topic, not giving Fang Ziye any chance to make a buffer in this regard.

"I don't know, and it's not that important."

"Senior brother, I'm going to do my experiment now," Luo Tingzhu said, waving her hand.

At this moment, Luo Tingzhu was actually thinking, "My senior sister said you never confess your feelings and are always flirting..."

"Xiao Luo, will you be my girlfriend?" Fang Ziye suddenly said.

Luo Tingzhu's waving hand froze, and suddenly her expression, movements, tone of voice, and even the corners of her mouth all became somewhat flustered...

"Is this bad?" Fang Ziye looked at Luo Tingzhu's hand still waving and pretended to be very disappointed.

Luo Tingzhu then waved both hands in front of the screen, saying, "No, I'm not."

"That's good, then?" Fang Ziye asked again, a smile spreading across his face.

Fang Ziye had no plans or budget; he just impulsively confessed his feelings.

Moreover, Fang Ziye's desire to express himself was very strong at this moment. Fang Ziye felt that feelings, especially the act of confessing them, should not be confined to a particular moment or time.

Otherwise, it's not a relationship.

Love should be a matter of freedom.

Luo Tingzhu stopped waving her hand, her lips pursed in a smile. She forgot to nod or make any expression, and simply used her right wrist as a neck, clenching her right fist and bending it several times like a beckoning cat, then bending it several more times...

Next, Fang Ziye was no longer sleepy, and Luo Tingzhu was no longer conducting experiments.

Luo Tingzhu had scheduled her lab session for 2:30 PM, but she didn't end the video call until 2:25 PM.

Fang Ziye didn't go out to take a shower until 2:30.

Then, when Fang Ziye went out, he discovered that Lan Tianluo was still secretly working overtime.

"Tianluo, what are you doing?" Fang Ziye asked, puzzled.

"Senior, I want to record more data."

“I think it’s a real shame that this animal model with the HK2 gene knocked out will eventually belong to the laboratory in Enshi.”

"We have to take it back and do it, so we can compete fairly with them," Lan Tianluo explained, looking up.

Although part of the funding for Fang Ziye's HK2 gene knockout animal model experiment came from his own funds, the subsequent larger-scale specimen collection still relied on the laboratory's own funding.

Otherwise, with the money in Fang Ziye's budget, more than half of it was used up just for the first round of preliminary experiments, and the experiments simply could not proceed.

If the funding comes from the sanatorium project, then it should belong to the sanatorium project team. However, the corresponding patent applicant is Fang Ziye himself, and the corresponding author and first author of the published articles can be Fang Ziye, not the sanatorium project team.

Furthermore, the sanatorium project team can establish animal models without Fang Ziye's authorization. Moreover, the sanatorium project team has the same, or even priority, rights as Fang Ziye to conduct subsequent experimental development.

People tend to be more proactive when others are paying for it.

In other words, Fang Ziye can take the results, articles, and patents with him, but he cannot take the data. This data must be left behind as preliminary research for subsequent development.

"Tianluo, don't be so stubborn."

"Go and rest."

“You can’t expect to get results from a research project in a short time,” Fang Ziye thought to himself, finding it amusing that Lan Tianluo was just being childish.

“Okay, senior brother.” Lan Tianluo nodded, but hesitated to speak.

After a while, Lan Tianluo asked again, "Senior brother, can't we use our funding for projects outside our academic discipline?"

"That definitely won't work. If you end up producing results from other disciplines instead of our research group's funding, wouldn't that create chaos?"

"And it doesn't make any sense to us either," Fang Ziye said matter-of-factly.

"Alright then." Lan Tianluo's face was full of regret, but clearly, he had expected all of this. Fang Ziye instantly understood Lan Tianluo's regret.

After rolling his eyes, he asked, "Tianluo, do you really have a PhD in mathematics and a master's degree in computer science? And are you currently pursuing a master's degree in clinical medicine?"

Fang Ziye suddenly remembered a time when Jie Han and he were chatting, and they had casually mentioned gossip and speculation about Lan Tianluo's true identity.

“Senior brother, no, it’s not.” Lan Tianluo answered decisively.

“Really not? It’s not shameful,” Fang Ziye said.

Lan Tianlu shook his head and said, "No, it's really not, senior brother. If it were, I would just admit it..."

……

"If you don't have money for romance, then just focus on your career!"

This is Fang Ziye's most genuine cry from the depths of his heart.

Unfortunately, Fang Ziye didn't know when the grand prize money would be paid out, and he didn't want to put on a show of wealth that would lead to overdue payments on his Alipay and Jiebei accounts next month.

Therefore, for a long time afterward, Fang Ziye devoted himself to studying the subject matter and participating in the rehabilitation of Grandpa Huang Kaikai.

The reason why Fang Ziye only dared to say that he participated in Kaiye's rehabilitation now is that, even after Fang Ziye had leveled up his three rehabilitation skills to level 4, it was still completely useless.

For example--

Rehabilitation Medicine – Neuroelectromyography

Rehabilitation medicine – massage.

Rehabilitation medicine – drug therapy.

These are the three main parts, which are packaged together as a set of skills.

The operation itself is not complicated, but the underlying theory is quite complex.

Fang Ziye had accumulated 1,500 knowledge points for three level 4 skills, but after using them all, they were still completely useless.

Ignorance, not knowing what to do, maybe it will help, maybe it's hopeless. This was Fang Ziye's only instinct when facing Huang Kai.

This feeling lasted until late June, when Fang Ziye finally accumulated more than 5,000 knowledge points through various means such as hunting, surgery, and rural medical outreach, and then upgraded his massage skills to level 5.

Fang Ziye finally felt less powerless when facing Huang Kai's illness.

At least, Fang Ziye had a vague feeling that perhaps he himself could not restore Huang Kai's function through massage, but he might be able to help Huang Kai complete the transformation from 0 to 1.

What does it mean to go from 0 to 1?

0 means complete paralysis.

As for option 1, it's not completely paralyzed; it has some functions and is slightly better than it is now.

Fang Ziye felt that this was enough.

If even a small 'miracle' can be created in Huang Kai's case, and others believe that Huang Kai's recovery is hopeful and has a certain shock value, then Huang Kai will be able to obtain more and better medical resources.

Fang Ziye himself would never have continued to develop in the field of rehabilitation medicine and stayed in Enshi for Huang Kai's sake.

However, Enshi has sanatoriums. If they could change Huang Kai's current situation and pique their interest, it would be enough to allow Huang Kai to access better medical resources...

For the time being, Fang Ziye has not mentioned any of this to anyone.

All of this was done quietly by Fang Ziye for Huang Kai, essentially a reassuring gesture, as a way of repaying Huang Kai for their good relationship.

Moreover, Fang Ziye's massage of Huang Kai had already begun before he added 5 points to his skill.

Once a day, for about ten minutes each time.

Of course, Fang Ziye wasn't the only one who provided the massages. There was another person, Cao Zhen, who would also come to the department every afternoon to give Huang Kai a massage, thus making it a twice-daily massage.

……

Time is like water.

Before we knew it, it was already the end of June and the beginning of July.

Fang Ziye remembers this day very clearly because he received his salary and subsidies again, and the distribution of June's subsidies in July was very timely.

So, that morning, when Fang Ziye was about to give Huang Kai a massage before leaving the operating room, he discovered that Director Hongdu and a group of people had already gathered around Huang Kai's bedside.

It seemed that the ward rounds were not yet finished, and it appeared that Director Hongdu was currently performing muscle strength tests on Huang Kai.

It seemed that there were also TCM doctor Chen and doctors that Fang Ziye didn't recognize among the onlookers, carefully and meticulously assessing something.

The crowd was gathered together, so no one knew that Fang Ziye was at the door of the ward, preparing to come in.

Seeing this, Fang Ziye didn't bother him any further. Instead, he silently turned and left, as if he had never been to the ward at all...

However, shortly after Fang Ziye turned around, applause erupted in the ward.
