The all-round academic master's girlfriend

The heavy isolation door slowly closed behind me, completely shutting out the noise and clamor from the outside world.

Tang Yuze and Dean Huang Yu, dressed in full-body white protective suits, entered the sterile observation room where Duoduo was located.

The room was dimly lit, with a constant temperature and humidity, and only the faint hum of the instruments could be heard.

Only when he was up close could Tang Yuze see more clearly everything that the little girl named Duoduo had endured.

Her skin, which should have been rosy and delicate, appeared abnormally pale and dry due to the complete lack of melanin, and even had small cracks in some places.

Her hair and eyelashes were pure silver-white, lacking luster, and limp and flat.

The girl sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Her big eyes, which should have been full of childlike liveliness, seemed somewhat unfocused at the moment, carrying a calmness and resignation that was incongruous with her age, a result of being exposed to illness too early.

Seeing someone come in, especially wearing such strange clothes, Duoduo subconsciously shrank back, a hint of timidity showing in her eyes.

Tang Yuze felt as if something had gently pierced his heart.

He slowed his pace and squatted down a certain distance from the bed, trying to make his eyes level with Duoduo's. Through the protective mask, his voice sounded somewhat muffled, but he deliberately made it extremely gentle.

"Hello Duoduo, my name is Tang Yuze, and I'm the doctor here."

He pointed to Huang Yu beside him.

"This is Grandpa Huang. We've come to see you."

Duoduo blinked her big eyes, nodded timidly, and didn't say anything.

"Duoduo, we know you're sick. Your skin and hair color are different from other children, and you're also afraid of light, right?"

Tang Yuze continued to communicate using the simplest language.

Duoduo nodded again and whispered "Mmm".

"We have a new medicine here that might make you better."

Tang Yuze looked into her eyes, his tone earnest and sincere.

"Tomorrow, we will give you an injection of this new drug. The injection may hurt a little, just like when you get injections before."

"However, this injection may help your body gradually become like other children, so you don't have to be so afraid of the sun, and your skin will become more beautiful and healthier."

Would you like to give it a try?

Tang Yuze did not use deceptive or overly optimistic language, but instead chose respect and understanding.

He knew that the child was already used to needles and medicine, and had a far greater understanding of the word "treatment" than his peers.

Upon hearing about the injection, Duoduo's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but she neither cried nor refused.

She simply looked at Tang Yuze quietly, a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of hope flashing in her overly clear eyes.

But that hope vanished quickly.

Countless people have told her that they can cure her illness.

Then, the corners of her pale mouth slowly curved upwards, revealing a faint, pitiful smile, and she nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Duoduo isn't afraid of pain."

She spoke in a weak voice.

That smile, that "I'm not afraid of the pain," was like a soft needle, precisely piercing the softest part of Tang Yuze's heart.

He had seen too much data and formulas, and had overcome countless theoretical problems, but at this moment, the child's pure trust and maturity beyond his years had an impact on him far stronger than any academic breakthrough.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the soreness in his nose, and gently stroked Duoduo's hair through his thick gloves.

"Duoduo is so brave. Get some rest, see you tomorrow."

After leaving the sterile room and taking off his protective suit, Tang Yuze remained silent for a long time. Huang Yu stood beside him, her expression equally solemn.

"Did you see that, Yuze?"

Huang Yu said softly.

"This is why we must succeed. Not for papers, not for awards, but for these children who deserve a colorful childhood."

Tang Yuze nodded heavily, all his words turning into an even more determined flame in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the base's core laboratory reached a fever pitch the next day.

Duoduo was already lying on a specially made treatment bed, with various sophisticated vital sign monitoring instruments connected to her body.

Her face looked a little tense, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

Her parents were placed in the observation room next door, where they could see what was happening inside through one-way glass. They held each other's hands tightly, their nails almost digging into their flesh, their eyes filled with prayer and anxiety.

Tang Yuze, Huang Yu, and all the core researchers gathered outside the glass curtain wall of the main laboratory.

On the huge screen, a split-screen display showed Duoduo's real-time images, various physiological data curves, and a dynamic simulation diagram representing the target cell region, magnified countless times.

"Begin the injection."

Tang Yuze's voice came through the internal communication system clearly and calmly.

Wearing protective suits, the medical experts carefully used a precision injection device to slowly inject the pale purple reagent, which carried countless efforts, into Duoduo's vein.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

Injection complete.

One second, two seconds...

One minute, two minutes...

The data curve on the screen fluctuated slightly, but remained within the normal range. Duoduo lay quietly, seemingly unaffected.

Five minutes passed.

The laboratory was completely silent. Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen, especially the dynamic cell simulation.

suddenly!

In the simulation, the peptide chains representing gene therapy drugs, emitting faint fluorescence, seemed to come alive, actively moving towards the region representing the defective cells in Duoduo's body.

"It's moving! The drug peptide chains have begun to move in a specific direction!"

One of the researchers, who was staring intently at the screen, couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

Those fluorescent peptide chains, like the most skillful locksmith finding the corresponding keyhole, begin to dock and fuse with the specific membrane receptors of the defective cell, or even the internal genetic material, in an extremely complex process!

On the screen, the dark red areas that originally represented defects and necrosis began to be covered and replaced by bright green, which represented new life, at a visible speed!

The energy metabolism curve began to rise steadily.

Cell division activity indicators returned to normal range.

Even some preliminary data on the activity of enzymes related to pigment synthesis are beginning to show positive signs!

"It's a success...it's really a success!"

Professor Lian Wenshi's voice trembled with excitement as he grabbed Xin Ziang's arm.

"A miracle, a miracle of life!"

Xin Ziang murmured to himself, tears glistening in his eyes.

Outside the glass curtain wall, cheers that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted like a volcano! The researchers hugged each other, high-fived each other, and many were even moved to tears.

Months of tireless work and countless failures have finally paid off in this moment!

Tang Yuze stood there, watching the ever-expanding green on the screen, and looking at Duoduo's parents embracing and weeping in the observation room next door.

He let out a long sigh of relief. His tense shoulders finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"I announce that the first human trial of applying the human genome formula to the treatment of genetic diseases has been successful."

His voice, carried through the microphone, reverberated throughout the laboratory, trembling slightly yet brimming with power.

A month later.

Inside the rehabilitation observation area of ​​the research base, sunlight shines through specially filtered glass windows, casting a warm but not glaring glow.

A little girl wearing a pink dress and with two braids was running around giggling on the carpeted floor.

Her skin was no longer that sickly pale, but instead had a healthy, rosy glow.

Although the girl's hair was still on the lighter side, a distinct brown base color was already visible, and it shimmered softly in the sunlight.

Most importantly, her eyes were clear and bright, full of the liveliness and joy that belonged to her age.

She is Duoduo.

After a month of continuous observation and consolidation treatment, the albinism-related gene defects in her body have been completely corrected, her physical functions have recovered well, and her sensitivity to light has been greatly reduced.

The isolation door opened, and Tang Yuze and Huang Yu walked in.

"Uncle Tang!"

Upon seeing Tang Yuze, Duoduo immediately flew over like a happy little bird, hugged his leg, looked up at him, and called out sweetly.

Tang Yuze bent down and picked her up. Looking at her healthy and lively appearance, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, Duoduo's parents also walked over quickly from the side. They looked at their daughter, then at Tang Yuze, and tears streamed down their faces.

Duo Duo's father, a middle-aged man with glasses and a refined demeanor, suddenly knelt down in front of Tang Yuze without warning!

Immediately afterwards, his wife also knelt down, tears streaming down her face.

"Professor Tang! My savior! Thank you! Thank you for saving Duoduo! Thank you for saving our whole family!"

The man's voice choked with emotion, filled with boundless gratitude, as he prepared to kowtow.

"Get up! Uncle and Aunt, what are you doing! Please get up! This is what I should do!"

Tang Yuze was taken aback by this unexpected gift and quickly stepped aside, holding Duoduo in one arm and reaching out to help them with the other.

Huang Yu also rushed forward to help support him.

"No! Professor Tang! You don't know! Duoduo never dared to run in the sun like this before, and she always had to be wrapped up tightly when she went out."

"Watching her suffer was like a knife to our hearts, but you gave her a new life!"

"We...we really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Duo Duo's mother wept uncontrollably.

Finally, after much persuasion from Tang Yuze and Huang Yu, the two stood up, but still kept bowing and thanking each other.

Looking at the parents, who were crying tears of joy, and at Duoduo, who was smiling brightly in his arms, Tang Yuze felt deeply that everything he had done was far more valuable than any award or honor.

Shortly afterward, an official announcement that had undergone rigorous review and appropriate anonymization was jointly released by authoritative national media outlets, instantly igniting the entire internet!

my country achieves historic breakthrough in life sciences! The Pangu probe successfully deciphers the core formula of the human genome!

"A Young Hero Emerges! Twenty-Year-Old Genius Scientist Tang Yuze Leads the Way to Overcome a Global Challenge!"

Albinism is no longer a terminal illness! The first case of gene cure has been achieved in our city!

The announcement detailed the significance of the Pangu Project, highly praised the outstanding wisdom and dedication of the research team led by Tang Yuze, and officially announced the successful treatment of hereditary albinism using the results.

Although no photo of Tang Yuze was released, his name, age, and key role in this breakthrough were clearly identified.

"Twenty years old?! My God! I'm twenty and still failing my courses!"

"Tang Yuze! I've remembered that name! This is the kind of star we should be following!"

"Albinism can be cured? Is that true? That's incredible!"

"Pillars of the nation! Heroes emerge from among the youth! May China be mighty!"

"I cried. My cousin has albinism. After waiting for so many years, we finally see hope!"

Online, praise poured in like a tidal wave.

The name "Tang Yuze" became synonymous with genius, patriotism, and dedication overnight, becoming an idol for countless teenagers and a source of pride for the Chinese scientific community.

Honors and awards followed in quick succession.

Countless halos were cast over Tang Yuze's head.

However, when Tang Yuze stood on the podium and received the heavy medal, his gaze was unusually calm.

Through the dazzling lights, he seemed to see the gentle smiling face of the girl waiting for him at his home in Beijing.

He knew this was just the beginning.

The mysteries of the human genome are not limited to this; there are many more genetic diseases waiting for him to conquer.

But in any case, he fulfilled his promise to the country and took the first step toward benefiting mankind.

Now, he desperately wants to fulfill a promise he made to someone else.
