In the blink of an eye, it was winter again, and the new year was coming, and half of Kang Zhuoyan's school year was over.

Some time ago, the college happened to have a project that allowed graduate students to go to country D for exchange and study for half a year in the next semester. Kang Zhuo immediately applied and passed it quickly. Today he came to find Liu Ming to sign the leave slip, which will be handed over to the counselor later.

"University D is very good. If you meet Professor Keller, remember to say hello to me. We are old friends."

Liu Ming smiled and signed the leave slip. Kang Zhuo was a student he was very satisfied with. He returned the leave slip to Kang Zhuo, pushed his glasses to look at him, and couldn't help but say, "Although I know you know , but I still nag a few words, falling in love is falling in love, we still have to focus on learning and scientific research."

Kang Zhuo blushed immediately, and subconsciously touched the engagement ring on his left middle finger with his right hand: "That's for sure, I know."

The relationship between Kang Zhuo and Quan Huachen is no secret in the laboratory. They got engaged half a year ago during the summer vacation. Quan Huachen prepared a generous gift for everyone in the laboratory, especially Liu Ming. , donated a new cryo-TEM to the lab.

Speaking of engagement, even though half a year has passed, Kang Zhuo still feels embarrassed when he thinks about it, especially when a group of familiar elders gather together to discuss their wedding, and even mentioned the matter of having a child.

In fact, Kang Zhuo has no concept of marriage at all. He is only 21 years old after the new year, and he is still one year away from the legal marriage age of omega. Now he only has scientific research in his mind besides Quan Huachen.

However, on the night of Kang Zhuo's 20th birthday, Quan Huachen suddenly proposed.

That day Kang Zhuo had just returned from a meeting with Liu Ming in other provinces, and he was exhausted after sitting on the high-speed train for a long time, so he didn't even think about celebrating his birthday.

In the evening, Quan Huachen saw that he had no appetite, so he took him out to eat something light. However, the cake was a large size that had been ordered in advance, so there was no way to change it.Quan Huachen cut a small piece of cake for him, and said it was his birthday, so he had a bite of the cake anyway.

Kang Zhuo picked up the fork and began to eat the cake according to his words, but when he inserted the fork into the cake, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the fork had been inserted into something hard. Kang Zhuo opened the cake strangely and saw that it was a ring.

"That's mine. It's specially put in the cake for you to see. Just put it in there and don't worry about it. Yours is with me."

With a smile on his lips, Quan Huachen walked up to Kang Zhuo, knelt down on one knee naturally, and held up a delicate ring box in front of Kang Zhuo.

"Baby, would you like to marry me?"

Kang Zhuo was stunned, his crystal bead-like gray eyes were full of shock and bewilderment, but he would not refuse Quan Huachen, even though he was a little out of order, he still handed his left hand to Quan Huachen obediently, saying: "willing."

Kang Zhuo's confused state lasted for several days until Kang Shicheng came home on the weekend and asked Kang Zhuo which day they planned to arrange the engagement banquet so that he could arrange work and free up time.

Only then did Kang Zhuo really realize that he was going to get married.

"It's not marriage, it's engagement." Quan Huachen corrected him, "It's just to hang a sign on you first, saying 'This omega already belongs to you, please don't disturb', that's all, don't be afraid."

Quan Huachen knew that Kang Zhuo was still young, and he didn't want to use marriage to bind him so early, but he couldn't bear Yin Dongfan's harassment again and again.

Just last month, while Quan Huachen was not at home, Yin Dongfan came to Kang Zhuo's house drunk to look for him, but Kang Zhuo refused to let him in. Fortunately, Aunt Zhu was at home that day and helped to pull people away, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. For the first time, Kang Zhuo cried and called Quan Huachen to complain.

Quan Huachen rushed to Quan Xiao's house early the next morning, looking for Yin Dongfan from room to room with a sullen face, and cursed at him the first time he saw him, if it wasn't for the sake of Quan Xiao and Yin Jie, Quan Huachen would Just do it directly.

Later, at the engagement banquet during the summer vacation, Kang Zhuo didn't want to make too much publicity. After discussing with Quan Huachen, he decided to invite both parents to meet and have a simple meal. Of course, they also invited Quan Xiao's family. Quan Huachen specifically asked them to let them Take Yin Dongfan with him and apologize to Kang Zhuo in person.

Quan Xiao knew he was wronged, and pressed Yin Dongfan's head to force him to apologize, calling Aunt Kang Zhuo.

Yin Dongfan was reluctant at first, but was frightened by Quan Huachen's eyes, and said unhappily, "I'm sorry, auntie."

Kang Zhuo almost had PTSD towards him, so he immediately stayed away from him after he responded.

Yin Dongfan knew that he was not pleasant here, so he left without eating two bites, Quan Xiao and Yin Jie ignored him.

Zhou Yuan likes Kang Zhuo very much. When they met, she saw him laughing non-stop, and even wrapped him a big red envelope. Not to be outdone, Quan Xiao also took out the red envelope she had prepared in advance. The thickness was not as thick as Zhou Yuan's. up and down.

Kang Shicheng spoke bluntly, and he was not afraid that Zhou Yuan would be unhappy. He said seriously to Quan Huachen: "Let me be clear first, engagement is fine. If you are willing, you can make headlines at will, but Kang Zhuo is still young and still in school. Lifetime marking is absolutely not allowed, and children are not allowed!"

Quan Huachen nodded: "That's for sure, Dad, don't worry, I know how to measure."

Kang Shicheng's complexion improved a bit: "We'll wait until Kang Zhuo graduates and you two get married."

But Zhou Yuan was a little worried when she heard it: "We, Xiao Zhuo, will definitely study for a Ph. D. after graduating from a master's degree. It will take many years to wait for a Ph. D. degree. In-laws, you should think about Hua Chen's age."

Kang Zhuo was so ashamed that he wanted to leave the scene, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Quan Huachen was so angry that he secretly squeezed his hand under the tablecloth.

At the same time, Quan Xiao was also laughing. It was a joy to see Quan Huachen suffer.

Seeing that Kang Shicheng was unmoved, Zhou Yuan began to tell him the importance of the problem from the child's point of view, saying that if Alpha was too old, it might affect the health of the future children, and Kang Shicheng was shaken.

In the end, Quan Xiao came out to smooth things over, saying that these private matters should be left to the young couple to consider, and it is better for the parents not to interfere too much. They all felt that it was reasonable, so they finally avoided this topic.

Although it is true that going to country D has selfish intentions, Kang Zhuo thought about it and decided to explain to his mentor: "I didn't apply to go to country D because of Quan Huachen. stay in the country."

Liu Ming laughed at him: "Teacher, I was young too, I still don't understand you little lovers."

"hey-hey."

"It's good to have someone there to take care of you. Remember to find me some real talents from D University."

"Ah."

The two talked a few more words, Kang Zhuo was about to leave, but before he left, he remembered something and asked Liu Ming excitedly: "Professor, has the PMA been handed over to Quanhe?"

"They said they would send someone to pick it up tomorrow." Liu Ming smiled at Kang Zhuo again, "But now you are the boss's family member, so you can take it away now if you want."

Kang Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Can I take a look first?"

PMA is a new type of omega estrus inhibitor developed by Liu Ming's laboratory team. It is made of special pheromone molecular adhesives extracted from the male comet moth.

Because compared with other drugs for intractable diseases, omega estrus inhibitors have the widest market, and this is only an improvement of the original drug, the cost is lower, and it is relatively easy to develop.So when Liu Ming and Quan Huachen discussed, the two sides agreed that this substance could be used to produce new inhibitors first.

So after more than half a year of hard work in the laboratory, a new type of omega inhibitor for PMA has been produced, which has passed a series of preliminary pharmacological and toxicological tests, and will then be handed over to Quanhe for subsequent trials and clinical research.

Liu Ming took out a suitcase from the safe built into the wall of the office. After inserting the password at the top, the suitcase opened automatically, and there were three tubes of light blue reagent lying inside.

"This is not a life-saving medicine. I'm not worried that someone will grab it, but I'm afraid it will be broken. This box is distributed by the school. It looks strange, but it can't withstand a few drops. Be careful."

Now that Liu Ming said so, Kang Zhuo was not polite. The suitcase looked very plain, and it had a big A logo. It was unremarkable, so there should be no problem, so he left the laboratory building with the suitcase.

Kang Zhuo thought that PMA was more important, so he decided to hand in the leave note tomorrow, drive to Quanhe first, and then go to see Quan Huachen while delivering the inhibitor. He was just happy when he suddenly found a flat tire before getting into the car .

This reminded Kang Zhuo of his car being splashed with paint last year, but it had been too long, and he quickly ignored it. It is common for car tires to be punctured by glass or nails.

The car couldn't be driven, but since Kang Zhuo still had inhibitors in his hands, he didn't dare to call a taxi easily, so he could only call Quan Huachen, who finished his work and drove to pick up the car. He, it takes about an hour on the road.

Quan Huachen was afraid that Kang Zhuo would be bored, so he didn't hang up the phone. The two chatted for more than half an hour, until Kang Zhuo said that the phone was about to run out of battery and was about to be turned off.

"I'll go to Ximen and wait for you now." Kang Zhuo said, "Just a little closer to you."

"Okay, if I haven't arrived yet, you can stand at the door of the security room and wait for me, don't run around."

"Know it."

After more than 20 minutes, Quan Huachen arrived at the west gate of A, but did not see Kang Zhuo.He asked the security guard, and the security guard said that he did not see any students standing nearby. The west gate was relatively remote, and there were very few students coming and going. The security guard said that if he saw any students standing nearby, he would definitely notice.

Quan Huachen called Kang Zhuo's mobile phone, but it was turned off. He suppressed some bad fantasies in his heart. After thinking for a while, he parked the car at the door, asked for the number of the security room, and entered the campus by himself, hoping to Can meet Kang Zhuo, but until Quan Huachen found Kang Zhuo's car, he didn't see Kang Zhuo himself.

In the sub-zero temperature in winter, Quan Huachen broke out in a sweat. He called Liu Ming first, and then Kang Zhuo's counselor. After getting Chu Weilin's mobile phone number from the counselor, he immediately contacted Chu Weilin .

However, no one knew Kang Zhuo's whereabouts.

Quan Huachen circled around Kang Zhuo's car anxiously. Holding his last hope, he called the Ximen Security Office. When the call was connected, Quan Huachen's hand inadvertently waved across the bushes and green plants on the side of the road. The pain was cut by a sharp branch.

Quan Huachen stared blankly at the bleeding wound, a nerve in the back of the left brain suddenly began to throb, the migraine that had been subdued for nearly a year recurred, and the ominous premonition reached its peak.

"Master, is there anyone waiting beside my car?"

"I've been watching, no one is there."
