from my heart [last days]

——What would Pei Ze's reaction be?

Xie Congxin stood outside Su Shiqing's office, waiting for the conversation inside to end.

Yan Shen went to the vending machine and bought a can of hot coffee, stuffed it into his cold hands, and asked, "Are you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Xie Congxin didn't look carefully, and took a sip from the can ring.

"I don't know," Yan Shen suddenly took the bottle out of his hand again, "but your condition is very wrong. You never drink this brand before, saying it's too sour."

"..." It was only then that Xie Congxin saw clearly that the logo on the can in his hand was indeed the brand he hated the most.

"...Are you testing me?" Xie Congxin narrowed his eyes, obviously unhappy.

"Sorry." There was not much sincerity in the words, Yan Shen shook the coffee can, shaking the liquid inside, Xie Congxin couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to take the can back from his hand.

Yan Shen smiled, emotionally wanted to touch his head, but rationally held back.

He put on a slightly more serious tone: "I don't want between us, I need to use this way to hear the truth. Apart from my unilateral pursuit of you, we are still friends who have known each other for many years. What do you have? I wish you would volunteer to tell me."

Xie Congxin's expression did not soften.

He showed displeasure, indicating that he didn't want to talk about this topic, Yan Shen sighed: "Do you know that you are really not like you recently."

"I am who I am, there is nothing like it." Xie Congxin bowed his head, and took another sip of the bland coffee with industrial syrup and creamer.

In fact, the taste is not very bad, why was he so picky before?

"...All right," Yan Shen squeezed the space between his brows and compromised, "If you don't want to say it, I don't have to ask. I'm not saying that I've been chasing you for so many years, so you have to respond to me, but Congxin, if you... …there is already someone else…”

He stopped and sighed. He was really unwilling to say such a thing, but he had to say it.

"—if you have sentenced me to death, at least tell me."

Xie Congxin glanced at him.

In fairness, Yan Shen would be a good target.

The chairman of Lanming Pharmaceutical, graduated with a master's degree in biology, rich and beautiful, has enough knowledge, has common topics with him, and is mature and considerate. Xie Congxin must admit that getting along with him is comfortable, and Yan Shen never gives He feels oppressed.

But precisely because he was so comfortable, he couldn't imagine what it would be like for him and Yan Shen to break away from friends and become a couple.

They are too evenly matched, and neither should be the other's submissive.

"Yan Shen," Xie Congxin turned his head, looking across the corridor at the portrait of Alfred Hirsch, the Nobel Prize winner in biomedicine, "Have I ever given you hope?"

"..." Yan Shen paused, "No."

When Xie Congxin was 17 years old, he fell in love with him at first sight in Su Shiqing's office. After that, Xie Congxin left the country and went to the United States. There were too many things in his company, so he could only fly to the United States to visit once a few months. It has been six years since the unremitting pursuit.

Xie Congxin's response to this has never been impossible.

"I thought I made it clear enough," Xie Congxin stood up straight, and threw the finished coffee can into the trash can next to the vending machine, "If you must listen, I'll say it again."

Yan Shen looked at him looking back, and with a calm expression of talking about the results of the experiment, he gave the same answer as always: "It's not possible to get in touch with each other if the conditions are equal, it's impossible for me and you."

It's not like there haven't been moments like this before.

Xie Congxin's rejection was always merciless, but never once did Yan Shen feel that he was so far away from Xie Congxin, out of reach, as if separated by heaven.

As Xie Congxin said, he likes Xie Congxin because Xie Congxin is good enough.

He admits that he is arrogant and thinks that Xie Congxin is the only person in the world who can match him well.In the same way, he is the only one who can stand beside Xie Congxin.Every project they collaborated on went very smoothly. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the end of the world, they might even be expected to hit the Nobel Prize next year.

There is no one more suitable for each other than them in this world.

Yan Shen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Captain Pei has a virus on his body, he can't do it with others, but you won't be infected."

The topic jumped so much that Xie Congxin paused slightly, and narrowed his eyes to examine him, "...so?"

"So besides you, he has no other choice." Yan Shen smiled and shook his head, "'You don't have to be in a relationship if you have equal conditions', Cong Xin, I hope you remember this sentence."

Sometimes Xie Congxin feels that communicating with a smart person like Yan Shen is very tiring.

You think you are hiding it well, but the other party sees through it at a glance. The words you point to the end are not completely exposed, but the words are full of meaning. To the right degree, you will be exposed to those things you don’t want to face, forcing you to face them. right.

"I have nothing to do with him..."

The door of the office opened at the right time, Su Shiqing and Pei Ze came out one after the other.

The sound insulation effect of each room in the research institute is very good. They can't hear the voice in the office in the corridor, and naturally they shouldn't be able to hear their conversation in the office. Ze touched it after a few steps away, and quickly staggered away.

Su Shiqing had already finished talking with Pei Ze, "Congxin, Academician Liu and the others are coming soon, let them prepare the conference room."

The conversation was cut off.

There are so many things to do, and personal emotional problems are too insignificant to mention in front of the survival of the entire population.

In the afternoon, I held a three-hour meeting with the heads of several other related institutes.

The meeting did not go smoothly. The top brains of domestic biology majors gathered in a room of tens of square meters, and their thoughts collided violently, which inevitably sparked.With regard to Xie Congxin's antibody and Pei Ze's example of successfully stopping zombification and strengthening his body functions, the attitudes of the people present were severely polarized.

On one side, the "conservatives" headed by Su Shiqing and Director Liu of the Institute of Biophysics believed that Xie Congxin's antibody was hard-won, and that all research must be based on what his body could accept.

But there are also some people who are more radical, thinking that since antibodies are hard-won, they should make the best use of them. Millions of people outside are waiting for rescue. Every day of delay, countless people die.As an academician, Xie Congxin should have the spirit of sacrifice for scientific research, for the country, and for the people.

Xie Congxin had expected such a scene.

As the protagonist, he sat beside Su Shiqing and didn't speak the whole time.

Even though he is also an "academician" conferred by a black letter on a white background and a red seal, he is still too young and has insufficient qualifications.

What's more, it is not appropriate for him to speak about this matter himself.

In his early years, when he first got a professional title, his temper had not yet been tempered by the system. He didn't know that he would say thank you academician to his face.

I don't know that as a human being, I am selfish in nature. It doesn't mean that if you have a high level of knowledge, you must know how to respect it.

Diversified thoughts and cultures, the backward waves pushed over, and everything that is different from oneself can become the target of criticism when conflicts of interest arise.

Aggressive words hurt the most.

Xie Congxin turned the pen in his hand, silently listening to their increasingly heated debate, and thought of Xie Lin and Chen Hai.

The countless small societies that exist in the big society are full of cruel crushing and competition. Xie Lin and Chen Hai may have no choice but to leave the National Academy of Sciences.

"Academician Su! Academician Xie is your student. We can understand that you want to protect him, but in the face of the interests of all mankind, we should always make concessions!"

"Honest! Are you trying to force death to your heart's content? Murder is against the law!" The director of the Institute of Biophysics, surnamed Liu, was over seventy years old, and held Xie Congxin's hand to defend him.

Xie Congxin patted the back of his hand and softly advised him not to get angry. Mr. Liu's face was flushed red, and before he recovered from his anger, the academician surnamed Xu said again: "He hides his antibody If you are willing to save someone, isn’t that killing someone?”

"Pay attention to your wording!" Su Shiqing said sternly, "Congxin has never meant to hide anything. If he really has selfish intentions, why would he ask me to tell you about the antibody once he returns to Beijing?"

"Then disclose the blood sample!" Someone pointedly said, "At least [-] milliliters in each institution, as long as the vaccine can be successfully developed, all mankind will remember him!"

It's very ironic.

Xie Congxin turned the pen on his fingertips into a beautiful circle.

There are as many as six related research institutes in Beijing, and each of them smokes him [-]ml. Can he still live?

He is narrow-minded, not that noble, and his life is gone. What's the use of asking so many people to remember him?

Su Shiqing and Liu Lao naturally couldn't agree to such an unreasonable request, and the quarrel continued until sunset.

No decent result was reached, and everyone broke up unhappy. Su Shiqing, who had such a good temper, was really angry, and asked his assistant to send them away with a cold face.

"I just said I can't tell this group of people!" Old Liu was out of breath. He was old, and he had a meeting all afternoon, fighting with the Confucian scholars. It was inevitable that he was exhausted, but the voice of cursing was still full of breath, " Stupid! Short-sighted!"

Su Shiqing sighed and said: "I dare not say that I really have no selfishness at all. Congxin is my student and my family. It is wrong for me to protect him? But don't I want the apocalypse to end soon? Tell me Have selfish motives, don't they? Did Meng Ling die in vain?"

"You have to mourn," Old Liu couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words, "It's time for the teams to be sent to Suzhou and Wuhan. I don't know what happened to Lao Zheng and the others. If we can enter Beijing, we will As for being too passive."

Suzhou Medical Engineering Technology and Wuhan Institute of Virology are both branches of the National Academy of Sciences in other places, and both directors have a good relationship with Su Shiqing——

"I can't wait for them anymore," Su Shiqing shook his head, "Xu Zhicheng has a good relationship with the people above, I'm afraid someone will come to put pressure on him in a few days, I was halfway through the project last time, and you know that Xu Zhicheng took it away ..."

"He has a relationship, so don't we?" Old Liu said, "I'll contact them tonight, and I can't give them the upper hand. Congxin is a human being and not a blood bank. It is absolutely impossible to follow what they think."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Congxin and Pei Ze who had been sitting quietly at the end from the corner of his eye.

Xie Congxin knew that they still had something to say, and it was not convenient for him to listen to some things, so he got up, "I'll go to the cafeteria to pack the dinner, and Captain Pei can help."
