Xiao Liu knew who was coming.

He had just been transferred here, and a few days ago he had the honor of attending the professor's apprenticeship banquet.

I know that Professor Tan’s apprentice is a three-year-old girl.

Just now, when I saw him coming back from the laboratory nervously to change his clothes and looking for candy everywhere, I knew that the little girl was probably coming.

After thinking about her identity, he ran to a special candy store, selected them by the piece, chose two of each flavor, and bought a small box.

It was just such a small box, with no more than fifty pieces in it, and it cost him three thousand yuan.

It certainly couldn't compare to what the young lady usually ate, but it was the fastest he could buy.

After buying the candy, he hurried back to the institute.

The door of Professor Tan's office was ajar. When he walked to the door, he heard the sound inside and was held in check for several seconds.

A unique child's voice came from it, and the sugar content was probably higher than the sugar jar in his arms.

Xiao Liu sighed in his heart.

No wonder Professor Tan likes this little girl so much. No old man can resist her.

He knocked on the door and walked in.

"Professor, I bought the candy."

He opened the sugar jar, put it on the table, and then stood quietly aside.

Tan Hongru held the jar and handed the opening to Qingqing, "Eat it, eat it. I just bought it."

A sweet candy smell came out of the jar.

The little one accurately identified her favorite strawberry flavor and reached out to grab it with bright eyes.

"Qingqing." Someone called her from the side.

Fu Sihuai put down the teacup in his hand and asked gently, "How many candies have you eaten today?"

Qingqing couldn't remember clearly. She reached her chubby hand into her coat pocket and fumbled around for a while, then took out a handful of colorful candy wrappers.

After putting them on the table, she began to count them one by one.

After counting, he turned to look at Fu Sihuai and answered honestly, "Dad, five~"

Fu Sihuai glanced at the number of candy wrappers on the table, retracted his gaze, and said softly, "Well, we can't eat anymore."

"But..." The little girl's red nose moved and she looked at the candy jar with reluctance.

"Master's candy smells so good."

She cried because she was hungry and wanted to eat.

Tan Hongru felt sorry for it, he also knew it was not good for children to eat too much sugar.

But Little Potato Egg's expression looks really pitiful.

He hardened his heart, covered the sugar jar, and muttered something, not knowing whether he was comforting Qingqing or talking to himself.

"It's okay. If I can't smell it, it won't smell good anymore."

This is similar to what Fu Sihuai once said, "If you can't see it, you won't feel pity."

The little girl's eyes seemed to be straining as she watched the sugar bowl being placed on the table where she could not reach it.

"Ask your father to take it away when you leave, and eat it when you get home tomorrow."

Tan Hongru was still rational. He raised a finger and tapped the tip of the little guy's nose.

"Eating too much will make you fat, Xiaoqing girl, you ate a bit too much today."

Qingqing tilted her head and then looked down at her hands.

She curled her fingers and suddenly felt like she was a little fat.

But compared with her master's hand, she is not fat anymore.

Some are hard to judge.

"Master, is Qingqing a little fat boy?" After thinking in vain, she raised her little face blankly and asked.

Tan Hongru looked at her figure and was silent for a moment.

Facing the little guy's clear eyes, he said reluctantly, "No, you're just wearing too many clothes."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with her soft little hands.

Fortunately, she is not a little fat.

Fu Sihuai sat next to him, looked up, and drank tea calmly.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Tan Hongru seemed to have thought of something and waved to Xiao Liu.

He said two words in Xiao Liu's ear. No one knew what they were, but Xiao Liu was shocked when he heard them.

Then he opened the door and walked out.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Liu came back panting, carrying two pots of flowers.

He had just brought this flower from the laboratory, and it attracted a lot of onlookers along the way.

"Professor, here I come," he said after putting down the flowers.

The fragrance of flowers permeates the entire office, and it is refreshing and can make people feel refreshed.

When Fu Sihuai saw the quality of the flower, he felt a little surprised.

Compared with the flowers raised by Qingqing, these two pots of flowers contain the same abilities except for the weakness in spiritual energy.

He looked at the old man with gray hair, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.

Qingqing's energy is like the vitality extracted from plants and trees. Once it is all gathered in her body, she can use it.

She then transfers this life force to other plants and animals.

But Professor Tan is different. His method is real scientific.

After repeated research and improvements, the essence is continuously concentrated to produce the next pot of better quality.

He optimized the flowers one by one, and perhaps the flower that Qingqing sent him contributed to it, but being able to achieve this through scientific means, he has already reached the top of mortals.

Fu Sihuai thought silently in his heart that Professor Tan was a truly capable man, and he decided not to use him as a shield in the future.

"We developed this a few days ago. There are twelve pots in total. Seven were handed in, and two were given to an injured leader. You can take these two pots back with you."

Tan Hongru took a sip of tea and spoke calmly, as if it was just an ordinary item.

"Put one pot in Xiaoqing's room and the other in the living room. It will bloom for a long time."

Fu Sihuai was in a complicated mood.

"Professor Tan, please leave one more pot. I'll put one in Qingqing's room when I get back."

He originally just wanted to find a shield for the little girl's special ability, but he didn't expect that he could do this for Qingqing.

This makes him seem a bit selfish.

Tan Hongru didn't know what he was thinking, so he shook his head and said no.

"My experimental project has now been designated as a priority, and I've been given a large amount of funding. I'll be able to discover a lot more in the future. I heard from the dean that a separate experimental base will be built for me next year."

He is the only one in the country who studies this.

When he chose this direction when he was young, no one was optimistic about it. He often had insufficient funds, so he lived a tight life.

It was only after he achieved some results that he was taken seriously. Until now, the flowers he sent to his superiors have attracted great attention and he has become the focus like a dark horse.

"Come to think of it, we haven't even started selecting a site for the experimental base yet. I remember Xiaoqing's school is in City A, right? She just started kindergarten?"

When he mentioned this, Fu Sihuai immediately understood what he was thinking.

"Qingqing may stay in the capital in the future."

"OK then."

Tan Hongru nodded, and one hand unconsciously placed on the little girl's head and rubbed it.

Maybe because he is old, he now thinks it is nice to have a child making noise around him.

Neither of the two adults talking noticed the shocked expression on the little girl's face as she looked at the flowers.
