A powerful country in scientific research

"I haven't had Coke for a long time. You know me and what I like to drink."

Since coming to Beijing, she has been busy from morning till night and has no time to even call her family, let alone eat and drink. She has no time to think about it. Now when she sees Coke, Su Ran realizes that she hasn't had it for a long time.

Hearing Su Ran's praise, He Cheng curled the corners of his mouth.

"Of course, let's eat quickly."

Su Ran: “Yeah!”

Sitting on the chair, Su Ran noticed the four dishes on the table, including Kung Pao Chicken, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, Stir-fried Lettuce, and Spicy Chicken. Su Ran sniffed, and the tempting aroma of the dishes invaded her nasal cavity. She couldn't help but move her throat, and her saliva had already begun to swirl in her mouth.

Su Ran couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of spicy chicken. The spicy taste immediately filled her mouth, as if dancing on the tip of her tongue, making her unable to stop and keep picking up more food.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Su Ran chuckled, "I know, I know. You should eat quickly too."

"Ah."

The two began to enjoy a delicious lunch.

After the meal, Su Ran, who was overfed again, couldn’t help but burp. This life was so wonderful.

He Cheng curled his lips and stood up to clean up the dishes. Seeing this, Su Ran hurriedly stood up and helped to clean up.

He Cheng: "I can clean it myself. You still have to work in the afternoon, so go and take a rest."

Su Ran shook her head. "Let's go together. I ate too much. I need to do some work to digest it. It's uncomfortable to sleep now."

He Cheng knew that he couldn't beat Su Ran, so he didn't refuse.

The two of them washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and then sat on the sofa to chat.

He Cheng couldn't miss this opportunity to be alone with each other, so he touched Su Ran's small hand dishonestly.

Rubbing the girl's delicate little hands, He Cheng felt a little distracted, but he still knew he had to stay within his limits, so he started talking about work with Su Ran.

"Are you busy today?"

Su Ran looked at his right hand silently and said calmly: "It's a bit busy, but it's okay. It didn't delay getting off work."

He Cheng pursed his lips and asked, "Do I have to work overtime tonight?"

Ranran is really busy. If only she wasn’t so busy, he could spend more time with Ranran.

Su Ran nodded. "I don't know how long it will take, so don't come over. I'll eat in the cafeteria." As she said that, she leaned back and found a comfortable position to half-lie down.

He Cheng sighed in his heart, it was just as he guessed.

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow at noon."

"Ah."

Looking at the girl lazily leaning on the back of the sofa, He Cheng couldn't help but say, "Of course, since you're not going home for the New Year, why don't you come to our house to celebrate the New Year? It's so lonely for you to celebrate the New Year alone."

Su Ran frowned, "This is not good."

She had only been to He Cheng's house once and was not familiar with his family. Although his family were nice, the New Year was a day for family reunions, and they might mind if there was suddenly a stranger in the house.

"What's wrong with that? Didn't I spend New Year at your house the year before last and the year before last? You don't want to spend the New Year at my house. Could it be that you don't want to be responsible for me? Almost everyone I know knows that we are in a relationship. You can't let me down~" He Cheng said like a rogue.

Su Ran rolled her eyes at him, not understanding why he suddenly switched to taking responsibility.

She said helplessly: "No, I just think it's not good to celebrate the New Year just after meeting each other."

"There's nothing wrong with that. You're my partner, so it's normal for you to spend the New Year at my house. If you really don't want to go, then I'll go to the dormitory and spend the New Year with you."

He Cheng's tone was firm.

Su Ran:......

"Goodbye, I'll go back with you then."

The goal was achieved, He Cheng raised his mouth, his shameless rhetoric was worth it, it really worked~

hehehe~

"I'll pick you up then."

"Hmm~"

-

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Su Ran got up early, dressed in a hurry, ate a few bites of the buns He Cheng made for her yesterday, and hurried out. She knew that today was another busy day. As the New Year was approaching, they wanted to get the results quickly, so they would naturally be busier.

In the research institute, Su Ran was surrounded by various problems. She needed to review experimental data, discuss solutions with the team, and solve technical problems. Her mind was filled with complicated information and various trivial matters.

Throughout the morning, she discussed and communicated with her team members, constantly adjusting and improving the experimental plan.

Lunch time was a rare time for her to rest. She hurried back to the dormitory and had a delicious lunch with He Cheng, and stayed with him for a while before returning to the institute to work in the afternoon.

The afternoon was just as busy, but fortunately there was no overtime. Of course it was not that Su Ran and the others did not want to work overtime, but the leaders of the institute forced them not to work overtime.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If they are asked to work overtime today, the researchers' families will probably be dissatisfied...

There was no way to work overtime, so Su Ran had to leave work on time. Su Ran suddenly felt a little uncomfortable leaving get off work so early.

Should she cook a meal for herself or go out to eat? Su Ran thought for a while and finally decided to go to the cafeteria to get food and take it home to eat.

It's rare for her to get off work early, so she wants to take a break~ hehehe

Taking dinner, Su Ran returned to the dormitory.

After entering the house, Su Ran was not in a hurry to eat. She put the lunch box on the table and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She walked to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

The call was not connected immediately. Su Ran waited for a while before it was picked up.

"Hey?"

"Xiao Lei." Su Ran hadn't seen her brother for a long time. When she suddenly heard his voice, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, as if at this moment, all her fatigue was filled with the warmth of family, and her voice became unconsciously gentler.

"Sister, it's me, Xiaolei." Su Lei's voice was filled with excitement. He was not at home when his sister called him last time. He felt sorry for a long time. Finally, he got the call. He was so happy (*^▽^*)

"Have you had dinner?" Su Ran asked with concern.

Su Lei replied with a smile: "I have eaten, sister, have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat in a while. Is mom home? Where are grandma and grandpa? Have they returned to Jiangshui Brigade?" Su Ran continued to ask.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don’t know whether my grandparents have gone back to celebrate the New Year.

Su Lei: "Mom is in the bedroom. Grandma and grandpa have gone back to celebrate the New Year. Mom and I will go back tomorrow morning."

Su Ran was a little envious. She also wanted to go back to Jiangshui Brigade to celebrate the New Year. She missed home, sob...

Although Su Ran felt a little uncomfortable, she hid it well because she didn't want her family to worry.

"Okay! Then please ask my mom to come and answer the phone."

Su Lei: "Well, then please wait for a moment, sister."

"Okay." After saying that, Su Ran heard anxious footsteps from the other side. It was Xiao Lei going to look for his mother.

Thinking of his brother's anxious look, Su Ran curled his lips unconsciously. Why is this silly boy so anxious?

After a while, I heard my mother's gentle and kind voice from the other end of the phone.

"Of course, I'm not busy today, so how come you have time to call home?"

Su Ran's eyes were inexplicably moist. Ahhhhh, she missed home even more... wuwuwu

Feeling suddenly vulnerable, Su Ran couldn't help but complain about himself in his heart.

She obviously wants to be a strong woman in her career, why does she have such big mood swings when she meets her family~~

Damn~ But even a strong woman can be a mama's girl, right? This shouldn't be contradictory~

After all, even if she is a strong woman, she is still her mother's baby~
