The difference between cloud and mud

After the third mistake and smashed the test tube in the sink, Lu Sheng finally couldn't help crying.

On Christmas Eve, at two o'clock in the morning, in a laboratory alone.The cries were amplified in the empty room, making it more miserable than imagined.Lu Sheng was sobbing, and then wept loudly.No one saw her tears anyway.You don't have to smile when you are scolded by the instructor in front of the whole group like in the daytime, and you grit your teeth secretly, trying your best to suppress the choked sobs back to your body.

Why can't produce results, why did you choose this laboratory, why didn't you listen to your parents and stay in school after graduation to work obediently, and you have to pursue some shitty scientific ideals, and came to North America alone to study.

The America she imagined is love at Harvard, Beijing meets Seattle, lalaland, and Suits.She didn't know that there was another side of America—bedbugs that couldn't be wiped out in old apartments, groups of drug addicts wandering in dark alleys after nine o'clock, shriveled french fries and cold, tasteless food in school canteens. Vegetable salad, the tap water was boiled, and there was a thick layer of alkali under the pot. She lost a lot of hair within a few days after she came.

Quit going back to Beijing after Christmas, she thought viciously while crying.Never come back for a lifetime.

She cried with all her heart, not hearing footsteps behind her.The shoulder was tapped suddenly, and Lu Sheng screamed in fright.She turned around in a hurry, crying choked in her throat: "Learn, senior...?"

Jiang Tong was also terrified: "Sister, are you okay?"

"Why are you still working overtime in the laboratory after the holidays?" He looked past Lu Sheng and landed on the broken test tube in the sink: "Hurry up and go back to sleep, the professor asked you to ask him to find me."

Lu Sheng forced a smile: "The professor didn't ask me to come here. I didn't figure out a few things myself. Anyway, I came to the laboratory to have a look if I have nothing to do during the holidays."

"I'm homesick, I couldn't hold back a few tears." She roughly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand: "Senior, don't laugh at me."

Lies so clumsy as to be ridiculous, eating too many hamburgers and fries, and her brain is malnourished, she can't even make up a decent cover.He happened to meet him at the most embarrassing time, and Lu Sheng hated God for making her look ugly—everyone is good, why Jiang Tong appeared here.

But it is Jiang Tong who has published an article on Nature in the third year of his Ph.D. and will stand on the asco podium in the coming year.Usually when she saw him, she didn't even dare to breathe out, and she was flattered by his advice, her heart beating endlessly.

"It's so late, the senior has something to do beforehand." She turned around and made a gesture to clean up the debris in the sink: "I'll be back soon."

Jiang Tong held her arm.

"Leave the test tube for me to collect. You should be careful to cut your hands." Jiang Tong had a gentle expression, and there was no extra emotion in her eyes that would make her feel ashamed or guilty.

"If you're fine for a while, let's have a drink together."

Christmas Eve is equivalent to New Year's Eve in the United States. On this festival, the big school is empty, dark and quiet, and even the little hooligans seem to go home for a reunion to unwrap presents.The bars that Jiang Tong and Lu Sheng frequented were closed for all festivals, and the two finally had no choice but to accept the reality, admitting that only Uncle McDonald was open at this time and place.

"I wanted to buy you a glass of good whiskey." Jiang Tong was still laughing at himself when he returned to his seat with two glasses of milkshakes: "Santa Claus won't let me spend money."

There are many ways to open your heart.Alcohol is effective, but it doesn't let you get tired too much.At three o'clock in the morning, McDonald's is brightly lit, making it even more dark and lonely outside the window.Jiang Tong's attitude is sincere, but Lu Sheng just wanted to fool it with trivial details at first, and as he talked, he finally shed tears again.

"I have always been ranked in the top ten in my grade in college, and the experimental operation was recorded by the teacher as a teaching video. Everyone said that I am the most talented student in scientific research." She covered her eyes with a napkin and deceived herself, not daring to look at Jiang Tong opposite look.

"For this paper, I don't know how many literatures I have read. It is obvious that all the conditions are correct, and the errors that should be eliminated have been eliminated-the same experiment, every step is careful and careful, repeated hundreds of times, The numbers are always subpar."

"I don't want to do scientific research anymore." I only dared to hide my thoughts in my heart, and even my parents and close friends didn't talk about them, but I said it naturally in front of him: "I'm not suitable for this."

Jiang Tong will laugh at her.She held her breath in the darkness of her own making.After all, she doesn't even look down on herself.From the middle school in the county all the way to today, it is due to being more diligent, calmer and more mature than competitors.She understood very early on that giving up is more shameful than failure, saying that she is not suitable, and now she finds out that she is not suitable for scientific research. Why did she go there two years ago?

She just couldn't bear to fail again.

"When I applied for a doctorate, I was rejected by University B."

"What?" Lu Sheng opened his eyes in astonishment.

"Not only B University, but also H University, U University and N University." Jiang Tong said lightly: "Obviously the quality of the recommendation letters is not bad, the grade points and academic publications are also good, but until February, there is no school that asks for it." I."

"I was originally focused on doing scientific research. Everyone greeted each other at the beginning of the semester. No matter how bad they were in the same class, whether they were working or studying, there was always a place to go. I was the only one who couldn't get up and down, and my family was difficult at the time..."

He lowered his head and took a sip of the milkshake, hiding his eyes under his forehead.

"I think maybe I'm too smart to be a scientist. I didn't have the talent for scientific research from the very beginning. Although I couldn't detect it, I was noticed by the admissions office of the school. Since no one thinks that I can be a scientist, it's not appropriate. I Put away all the application materials, and hurriedly rushed a resume to participate in the school recruitment."

"I managed to get a few finals, but suddenly I received the admission letter and scholarship from University A. I thought it was a pie in the sky, and I happily accepted it. Only then did I have the opportunity to sit here and treat you to a milkshake .”

"To be honest, for a week or two, I was determined to become an office worker, and I never dreamed that I would be where I am today."

He winked at Lu Sheng: "Being a scientist requires a little bit of luck, you are just temporarily unlucky."

"Go back today and get a good night's sleep, and come to the lab tomorrow night, and we will go through your experimental design again."

"Thank you senior." Lu Sheng nodded vigorously with his eyes burning.

Spreading out her weak and confused appearance in front of his eyes, she thought that he would either criticize her harshly, or pour her a pot of chicken soup with his own words, but she didn't expect that she would be understood.He didn't want her to choose a side between black and white, but stood with her in the ambiguous gray border, and gently told her that he was once the same as her.

The next day, Jiang Tong did what he said, and led Lu Sheng to reorganize the experimental procedures from the assumptions, and really found a few blind spots that Lu Sheng had ignored.Before Lu could thank him, he entered her phone number into her phone again, repeatedly emphasizing that he should be contacted at any time if there is any problem during the experiment.

Lu Sheng hesitated, and he shook his phone when he saw this: "Don't worry about finding me. Our directions are different, and I don't need to grab your paper signature."

With Jiang Tong's help, the long-stalled research finally made progress.Lu Sheng worked hard and finished the thesis before the deadline for the academic conference in March.

In the early morning of the day of the deadline, after typing the last full stop at the end of the last paragraph, Lu Sheng's heart finally fell to the ground.With a long sigh of relief, she returned to the first page of the document and wrote a special acknowledgment list in the margin.

Her fingers hover over the keyboard.

She had already had a premonition before, but it was vaguely suppressed by her, and she ignored it. Special thanks is like a string of codes. The stone door in the depths of the cave is wide open, and it is broad daylight. Finally, she can no longer hide.

She fell in love with Jiang Tong.

"Forget it." The roommate hit her unceremoniously after knowing it: "Jiang Tong is frigid."

They were eating in a Chinese restaurant, and Lu Sheng had just picked up a chopstick full of Mushu meat, when she heard this, her hand shook, and a piece of Mushu meat on the chopsticks fell out of the bowl: "It's as if you slept with him."

"...you really didn't sleep, did you?"

"Fuck" the roommate swears angrily: "Jiang Tong is not my type at first sight, okay?"

"It's not like you don't know what's going on in our village." The roommate said earnestly: "A boy with hair and paper, a normal outlook and the same girlfriend is rarer than a three-legged toad."

"Not to mention that Jiang Tong is quite handsome - not only the girl, but also several men from outside the family have flirted with him, but he fooled him so hard, none of them succeeded!"

"In the years since I entered school, except for group activities, I have never heard of him going out alone with anyone."

"If he didn't have a problem, why didn't he find a girlfriend? He kept his body like a jade and waited to trigger the plot line with you?"

Lu Sheng still didn't give up: "I think he treats me differently than he treats others."

She was just vague and didn't dare to tell what she had talked with Jiang Tong late at night.

The roommate sneered: "I still think your boss fell in love with you at first sight. He scolded you because of the deep responsibility of love, and suppressed his secret and lingering immoral love for you with rough words."

The roommate's painstaking efforts failed to dispel Lu Sheng's suspicion of Jiang Tong.If a crush can be easily given up, it is not a crush.

What's more, Jiang Tong is really unusual to her.Lu Sheng observed Jiang Tong secretly with the rigorous attitude of a quasi-scientist, and found that this person was hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and he was kind to everyone, but he didn't make friends with others easily. With a kind and generous impression, I don't suffer a single loss.

Jiang Tong talked with her late at night, perhaps because she was so pitiful, and chatted with the elementary school girl on Christmas Eve, just touching her lips.But it took a lot of effort for him to help her revise the thesis later.Lu Sheng asked himself that his family background was ordinary, and it was even more ordinary among the outstanding people in the department, and he did not have strategic investment value.Jiang Tong's uncharacteristically generous devotion made the hope in her heart like a candle in the wind, flickering on and off, but maintaining a ray of light that never goes out.

After posting the paper, the two theoretically had no intersection, but Lu Sheng tried every means to continue his relationship with Jiang Tong.Jiang Tong likes chamber music. She stays up late to buy tickets for famous orchestras to tour nearby cities. Jiang Tong is good at cooking. Just at midnight, there is only a moment between him and her in the huge laboratory.

"Have I ever told you that you are very much like my sister?" Jiang Tong said suddenly when they left the laboratory late one night and stood quietly in the elevator.

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat: "Really?"

Jiang Tong took out his mobile phone and showed her the photos. The girl had long hair reaching to her waist, a sweet and fresh face, watery apricot eyes with clear black and white, and a bright smile facing the screen.

Lu Shengxin said that they did not look alike at all.

"It's not her looks." Jiang Tong saw suspicion from her expression, and smiled awkwardly: "My sister is not good at math, but she is studying finance at university, and she couldn't do high math and called me to cry. After crying, she continued to go back to do the questions. "

He suddenly felt uncomfortable, and made it up clumsily: "I have no other meaning..."

Jiang Tong kept explaining, but the description became darker and darker. Fortunately, the elevator landed with a ding.The two walked out of the laboratory building, changed the topic at the same time, and talked about a newly published paper in Nature.

Back home, Lu Sheng plopped down on the bed, burying his hot cheeks into the pillow.What is Jiang Tong implying?Did he tactfully refuse, or did he really think she was cute and signaled her to go further?

I dare not enter, fearing that my dream will be shattered by mistake and the delicate balance between the two will be broken.Unwilling to retreat, knowing that Jiang Tong's gentleness is drinking poison to quench thirst, but greedy in his heart, just want more.Sweet suffering is also suffering, Lu Sheng only felt that he was going crazy.

The substantive turning point in the relationship occurred in the summer vacation of that year—the senior of his alma mater came to the United States as a visiting scholar. Jiang Tong stepped forward and organized a dinner to show the friendship of the landlord.Lu Sheng was dragged along with several biology students to accompany him.

The senior is still on the plane, and the handsome WeChat avatar has spread to several large groups. Unexpectedly, the real person is tall, tall and straight, and the clothes are refreshing, which is more eye-catching than the [-]D photos.From the visiting scholar dormitory to the restaurant, the welcome team has somehow grown stronger.A group of people occupied the largest round table in Taiwan's hot pot restaurant. They first cleaned up dozens of meatballs, and then moved to the bar in a lively manner.

As midnight approached, the little friends withdrew in twos and threes, leaving Lu Sheng, Jiang Tong, and the protagonist senior tonight.

Everyone was a little drunk, but Jiang Tong was still trying to stay awake: "Little Lu, where do you live? I'll call you an Uber to go back."

The senior glared at him.When he was sober, he was taciturn, but after a few glasses of whiskey, he talked more and more succinctly than ordinary people.

"It's so late, it's not safe for girls to walk at night. Be a gentleman and send her home."

Jiang Tong ignored him and asked Lu Sheng's address in a low voice.The senior seemed irritated by his perfunctory attitude of fooling the drunk, and slammed the bar: "Jiang Tong, people can't live in the past!"

Lu Sheng was originally in a daze, but after being slapped so furiously by the senior, he lost three points when he was drunk.She was carefully sandwiched between the two of them, watching her nose, nose, and heart, as if she didn't exist.Jiang Tong was still very calm: "Pei Jing, you drank too much."

He looked calm, but his nose flared and the corners of his mouth were tightened into a straight line, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart.

Instead of being angry, Pei Jing smiled: "It's all your own fault for falling into the situation you are in today."

Lu Sheng lowered her head. From her angle, she happened to see Jiang Tong's hand hidden under the stage tightly clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of the hand were exposed.After a few tens of seconds or a few minutes, the hand released its fist, reached into its bosom, took out a few banknotes and placed them on the bar.

"I have something to do in the laboratory, you sit down, I will go first."

"I called an uber for you, and the driver will call later." He nodded at Lu Sheng, as if paying tribute, and then strode away, parting the noisy crowd and leaving the bar.

It doesn't matter whether Pei Jing is drunk or not, Jiang Tong really drank too much.

Lu Sheng and Pei Jing looked at the bar with four eyes at the same time.A few glass wine glasses were placed in a mess on the shiny marble countertop. Water stains and wine stains mixed together, reflecting the colorful lights of the bar. Among them was a bulging black wallet... quite conspicuous.

He actually forgot his wallet at the bar.

Pei Jing suddenly smiled at Lu Sheng: "Aren't you going to open it and have a look?"

There were so many people at the dinner, Lu Sheng and Pei Jing didn't say a word all night.However, Pei Jing's tone was familiar, and he seemed to be teasing with a kind of insight into the secret.

When did he find out?

"It's not suitable..." Lu Sheng lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and said in a whisper, "The senior should not have gone far, or...or I'll call him now."

As she spoke, she was about to take out her mobile phone to dial, but Pei Jing leaned forward and held her arm.

"No hurries."

The man smiled deeply: "Jiang Tong has been single all these years since he came to the United States, right? I don't want to know why? Open the wallet and see if there are photos of old lovers in it?"

"If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly - among the people you know, no one knows Jiang Tong better than me."

"Such a good opportunity will never come again."

Lu Sheng's face flushed red in the darkness, she calmly broke free from Pei Jing's shackles, opened her mouth a few times, but couldn't speak.

Pei Jing had a clear view of her struggle: "Forget it, I will be a good person today and send Buddha to the West."

He leaned over neatly and took the wallet from the bar. Lu Sheng wanted to stop it, but everything happened too quickly.She watched Pei Jing open the wallet, her eyes focused a little, showing such an expression.

He flipped the wallet over and handed it to Lu Sheng: "This is the answer."

Lu Sheng turned her head subconsciously, but before she could move, the scene that made her look forward to and scared her had already jumped into her sight.The picture seemed to have a magnetic field and gravity, and Lu Sheng's sight was firmly attracted, and he could no longer move away.

There is a photo in the transparent compartment of the wallet.

Photos of boys.

Pei Jing's voice was low and bewitching: "Jiang Tong is not born gay. It's time for him to move on. You like him very much and you are suitable for him. I can help you."

"Who is this person? What is his relationship with Jiang Tong? How can Jiang Tong forget him? How can Jiang Tong be attracted? I can tell you everything."

"I do not want to know!"

Pei Jing's expression froze.

Lu Sheng's stomach was twitching, and she clenched her hands desperately under the stage to suppress the tremor in her voice.

"If the senior wants to tell me...he will say it himself. This is, this is his privacy, I don't want to know."

The phone vibrated suddenly, and the uber driver called, saying that the car was at the door and ready to leave at any time.Lu Sheng jumped off the chair, grabbed the bag, and ran out of the bar without looking at Pei Jing.It wasn't until the car drove out of Bar Street that the deafening music and colorful neon lights were far behind her, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

The west coast is vast and sparsely populated, and beyond the limited light of street lamps and car lights, there are shadows of darkness.The driver drove silently, but played lively Indian music.Lu Sheng leaned his forehead on the car glass, looking at the huge billboard that flashed outside the window, and the music turned into the most hypnotic white noise.Her thoughts gradually became chaotic, but she couldn't sleep.

Pretty boy.Even in the dark light of the bar, even through the plastic interlayer, even if the pixels are not clear, it can be remembered at a glance and never forgotten.His facial features came second, and there was something indescribable in his smile, which made people feel that he was noble, noble, and unique.

She ran away from Pei Jing, using high-sounding excuses to hide her fear.She couldn't compare to that boy, Lu Sheng knew it at the first sight.

She stared at the darkness outside the window in a daze, but suddenly received a call from Jiangtong.

"Did you see my wallet?" The line was connected, and before Lu Sheng had time to say hello, Jiang Tong's question came over his face: "The black wallet is half the size of a palm when folded—did I forget it at the bar?"

Since we met, no matter what kind of things he encountered, Jiang Tong has never been in a hurry, calm and calm.This was the second time he'd lost his composure in front of her—the first time was when he left the bar impulsively tonight.

Lu Sheng briefly narrated the process, and when he learned that the wallet was in Pei Jing's hands, Jiang Tong hung up the line in a hurry.She was suddenly thankful that the Uber driver turned up the music loud enough, Bollywood songs and dances were festive and noisy, and the same melody was repeated over and over again, covering the sound of her desperately inhaling.

The lights in the car were not turned on, and the light from the mobile phone was reflected on the car window. She saw her hazy reflection and her face full of tears.

Her secret love ended like this.

Jiang Tong rushed to Pei Jing's residence early the next morning to pick up his mobile phone. He rang the doorbell loudly, and Pei Jing came to open the door lazily and barefoot: "It's really early."

Jiang Tong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Give me the wallet."

Pei Jing turned her head and entered the room: "Come in and have a glass of water."

With the hostage in hand, Jiang Tong had no choice but to slip his shoes into the house.Pei Jing arrived here for the first time, but the room has been tidy and tidy without losing the breath of life.Jiang Tong sat on the edge of the sofa and watched as Pei Jing really poured two glasses of water and put them on the small coffee table in front of him.

"Drink."

Jiang Tong was impatient: "Where is the wallet?"

Pei Jing took a sip of water by herself and looked at Jiang Tong from the edge of the glass: "Let's talk."

"You've never been so verbose before."

Pei Jing lowered her head and smiled: "Some things happened recently."

"Ok?"

"Let's talk about it later." Pei Jing put the water glass on the table with a click: "I think you should move on. It's pointless to continue to punish yourself like this."

Jiang Tong moved impatiently: "This has nothing to do with you - give me the wallet."

"The girl last night was very nice, beautiful, smart, gentle, and visibly attracted to you. I think you will be very suitable together."

"Don't think that because you are a senior, I dare not beat you up."

"You will never meet again in this life, I think you should be more generous to yourself. Besides, from the perspective of a third party, you were in a difficult situation at the time, and it was reasonable to make such a choice—"

Jiang Tong interrupted Pei Jing's eloquence: "Last summer, I talked with his grandma on the phone."

Pei Jing raised an eyebrow.

"...The money was settled in three installments, and the last time was last summer. I felt... a little emotional at the time, so I called her."

"Do you know?" He said softly, softly, "It turns out that she didn't do anything at the beginning."

"All these years, I always thought it was her... I thought it was her who made all my applications fail."

Mrs. Xiao's voice seemed to echo in his ears again.

"Teacher Jiang thinks too highly of me, and of himself too."

"I am an old lady, how can I have the energy to run across the Pacific Ocean to cover the sky with my hands in American schools."

"Even if there is, why use such a sky-reaching method on Teacher Jiang."

A check is enough.

His silence seemed to make Mrs. Xiao happy, so happy that she laughed: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Teacher Jiang, you are much easier to deal with than Kenneth's father."

Pei Jing was speechless, and accompanied Jiang Tong in silence for a moment, then got up and took out the wallet from the room.Jiang Tong opened the wallet and looked up and down carefully, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Don't look at it, I don't know how to do anything." Pei Jing said harshly, "It's just a piece of paper, it means nothing to anyone other than you."

Jiang Tong smiled wryly: "But I have nothing but this piece of paper."

Lu Sheng lost his mind on Jiang Tong, and because he had nothing to worry about, the relationship between the two seemed closer.Even the roommates were suspicious: "You don't really have something, do you?"

Lu Sheng smiled noncommittal.Time passed like water, Jiang Tong graduated from teaching, and within a few years he resigned to go to the industry, and gradually lost contact with his friends who stayed in school.Lu Sheng honestly did experiments and published papers, and God rewards those who work hard, or burn incense to the land gods in Chinatown. After graduation, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow for two years, and she was given the opportunity to stay at her alma mater and become an assistant professor.

Before getting tenure, there is no essential difference between assistant professors, lecturers, technicians, and even teaching assistants in the school. They are all exploited classes who struggle day and night and are precarious.Lu Sheng worked diligently every day, and finally wrote a blockbuster paper, which was accepted for publication at the asco annual meeting.

Before going on stage, she was so nervous that she didn't eat for a day, and her calf was still twisting when she stood on the podium to adjust the microphone.Fortunately, the speech was safe and sound, and the questions raised by colleagues were also solved smoothly.She left the lecture hall with a thick pile of materials, feeling weak all over and empty in her stomach, and wanted to find a coffee shop for a drink, preferably a sandwich to satisfy her hunger.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into a pedestrian on the opposite side.

The materials were scattered all over the place, Lu Sheng hurriedly apologized, and the moment his eyes met the other party, he was nailed in place.

It's that boy.

He has grown up, his slim suit is flat without pleats, his cuff buttons are shiny, and his short hair is neatly trimmed. He is a handsome, graceful young talent with a sense of money.Cai Jun helped her pick up the papers all over the floor in a friendly way, and handed them back to her with a smile: "Miss, are you okay?"

Lu Sheng's eyes widened: "You...you..."

In desperation, she actually spoke Chinese.

The young man raised his eyebrows: "Is there something wrong with me?"

He also took advantage of the opportunity to switch back to Chinese to question her, with a drawn-out ending and a lazy and innocent tone.He had a puzzled face, but there was still a smile on the corner of his eyes and eyebrows.The serious and ambiguous eyes made Lu Sheng's face burn.

Why does it seem like he was molested.

She lowered her head to take the materials, knowing that even her neck must be red at the moment: "I'm sorry, I just... recognized the wrong person."

Seeing her embarrassment, the young man smiled amusedly, "So that's how it is."

He turned around to leave, Lu Sheng's mind was in a mess, his heart was full of happiness, and he took a step forward: "Wait... wait a minute!"

The young man turned around, and now the doubt on his face was real: "What's wrong?"

Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but Lu Sheng didn't know where to start.Once a pretty boy, now a handsome young man.Does he know that his photos are cherished and carried in the wallet every day?If he knew, would he want to see that person again?

Jiang Tong has been obsessed with him for so many years, why did they separate?

For the first time, she regretted sternly rejecting Pei Jing and fled from the bar.

Xiao Fengtai's eyes of her hesitant to speak had another meaning.

"My name is Kenneth, and I'm investing in medicine in China. I've come to the conference to learn about the latest developments in the industry these days, and take a look at the company." He skillfully took out a business card from his pocket and placed it on top of a stack of materials in Lu Sheng's arms. .

"I live in Ritz—" He glanced down at Lu Sheng's paper signature, and smiled ambiguously: "If Professor Lu is interested in commercializing the results, we can find time to have a cup of coffee and chat."

What to talk about, when to talk about, and where to talk is not necessarily the case.

Lu Sheng flew back to school the next day, and after having dinner with local friends that night, he took a walk along the coast alone.As she walked, she realized that she had stopped unconsciously, clutching the business card she had received during the day in her pocket.

She simply leaned against the railing, took out her business card, and looked at it carefully under the moonlight.

Kenneth Xiao, Xiao Fengtai, old-fashioned names that are out of place.

When she was in school, she never imagined that one day, she would flirt with the old lover of her crush.

By accident, Lu Sheng took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Tong who hadn't contacted him for a long time.

"Senior, what have you done that you regret?"

She waited quietly for a while, and Jiang Tong sent a message back: "What's wrong?"

Lu Sheng clutched his phone and didn't reply.The fuselage was hot, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in her palms.

"There is nothing to regret." Jiang Tong finally replied: "I did something wrong, but I have nothing to regret. Looking back now, all the decisions I made at the beginning were already the best choices I made."

That's it.

Lu Sheng smiled, she let go of her hand, and the little white card fluttered in the wind and fell into the dark sea current.

Asco: American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
