The gourmet boss who was delayed by the end of the world

Strange office, strange experts and professors, strange problems.

Chen Yuan blinked, but did not answer.

He didn't want to come here at all. Before he went out, he saw a neighbor's kid building a snowman downstairs, and wanted to go over to play with him, but was mercilessly taken away by his father.

Even though this Professor Shen looks gentle and not annoying, Chen Yuan doesn't want to talk to him.

Chen Yuan turned his head, his eyes drifted out of the window, from here he could see the deserted garden, with such thick snow accumulated, it would be a pity not to use it for snowball fights.

The heating in the office is very strong, and the heat steamed Chen Yuan's sweat all over his body. He started to undress, but the zipper of the down jacket got stuck, and he couldn't pull it off even after a long time.

Professor Shen walked up to Chen Yuan and knelt down, raised his hand, and patiently helped him straighten out the stuck place, and successfully pulled down the zipper.

With the help of others, Chen Yuan could no longer treat him as a stranger. He looked up at the uncle in front of him, and whispered 'thank you'.

"You're welcome."

Professor Shen was still squatting in front of Chen Yuan, looking him up and down with a smile, "Your name is Chen Yuan? Which Yuan character?"

Chen Yuan froze for a moment, and said, "The abyss of the abyss."

Professor Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile deepened: "The profound Yuan is just like your brain, a good name."

No one has ever discussed his name with Chen Yuan. This Professor Shen seems to be different from other experts.

Chen Yuan turned his head again, took a look at him, and found that he was really good-looking, even more handsome than those uncles on TV, and his gold-rimmed glasses made him look very gentle.

Chen Yuan put down his guard a little, and stretched out his left hand to Professor Shen: "Smash this hand, the needle eye in the right hand is not healed yet."

Professor Shen was taken aback, his eyes flickered behind the glasses, "Sh... what?"

"Blood."

Chen Yuan replied without hesitation: "Don't you all have to draw blood when you see me for the first time?"

Professor Shen seemed to be shocked by these words, and after a while, he rolled up Chen Yuan's sleeves. After seeing the bruised inner elbow, he pursed his lips, and carefully pulled Chen Yuan's sleeves down.

"I don't need to draw blood here."

Professor Shen looked into Chen Yuan's eyes and said seriously: "Nowhere should your blood be drawn."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan raised his eyelids and asked in doubt, "Then how are you going to study my brain?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, his body shook involuntarily, and his face showed horror: "No, don't get an electric shock!"

Professor Shen hastily stretched out his hand to stabilize Chen Yuan, and told him in a calm and slow tone: "There is no electric shock, and I don't know how to draw blood. When you come to my place, you just read books and answer some questions, and you don't know how to do anything else."

Professor Shen's tone sounded very serious, and his expression looked very serious. Chen Yuan took a few deep breaths and relaxed after believing his words.

In the following time, Professor Shen really didn't draw Chen Yuan's blood, but just gave him a few magazines. Those magazines were the most difficult to understand among the books Chen Yuan had read. He knew all the Chinese in them, but When they are connected together to form a sentence, he doesn't know what it means.

"By looking at the activity of individual molecules, we have elucidated part of the mechanism underlying transporter activity, which may prove critical for future studies of many of the clinically relevant proteins in this family."

The whole article is full of such sentences, to Chen Yuan, it is like an ancient prose, overwhelmed by the mind, he knew that this was a test, so he held back his yawns and read the book page by page.

Professor Shen has been sitting next to Chen Yuan, observing his reading mode, and when he finished turning the last page, he asked, "How is it? Did you see anything you like?"

Chen Yuan shook his head first, thought for a while, and said, "Why do you want to experiment with mice?"

Professor Shen raised his chin, "Because you can't experiment with people from the beginning, if you fail, it will be very troublesome."

"How troublesome?"

Chen Yuan turned his head and frowned at Professor Shen: "Is it more troublesome than electric shock?"

Professor Shen's eyes fell on Chen Yuan's face, and after a slight glance, he moved away again, "It's more troublesome than that."

That's really troublesome.

In Chen Yuan's ten-year-old head, the most terrifying trouble was receiving electric shocks. If it was more troublesome than electric shocks, then he couldn't imagine it.

Professor Shen raised his hand and took away the magazine called "Nature", got up and walked towards the desk, and asked Chen Yuan as he walked, "Cake or biscuit?"

The professor's questions always come out of the blue, Chen Yuan casually replied with 'biscuits', and the next moment, Professor Shen really took out a bag of Oreos from the drawer.

"The children who answer the questions well deserve the reward."

When Chen Yuan came to pick up the biscuits, Professor Shen paused, looked at Chen Yuan and smiled: "From now on, every Sunday afternoon, I will accompany you to read books and eat some biscuits, okay?"

Chen Yuan nodded without thinking about it. It was a hundred times better than other places just because he didn't need to draw blood or receive electric shocks. Although he couldn't understand those books, they were not worse than ancient Chinese. Served with Oreos, it's almost heaven.

"How much Nature do you have?"

Chen Yuan unwrapped the Oreo package, stuffed one piece into his mouth, and handed another piece to Professor Shen, saying inarticulately, "It's all rough, and I can recite it all by heart."

Professor Shen took the biscuit, but did not put it in his mouth. He smiled and waited for Chen Yuan to finish eating before returning it to him, "Okay, then I will wait for you to memorize them all."

However, Professor Shen did not wait until that day.

When Chen Yuan finished reading twelve "Nature" magazines and was about to read No.13, his father told him that he would never go again. This kind of situation has happened many times before. The reason is to end the observation, but this time, Chen Yuan is not very happy.

"Why didn't you go? Did Professor Shen say that?"

Chen Yuan had eaten biscuits, cakes, baked sweet potatoes, and small wontons in that office, and even made an appointment with Professor Shen to cook hot pot together next week. Why did he suddenly go back on his word?

Dad replied casually: "Professor Shen has left and resigned."

Chen Yuan wanted to ask again, but seeing that his father had already turned on the TV, he knew he couldn't disturb him, so he turned around and went back to his room silently.

It was snowing outside the window again, and the children downstairs were having snowball fights in small groups, but Chen Yuan had no intention of joining today.

He was thinking about Professor Shen.

He was really an unusual person, with all kinds of strange things in his mind, and Chen Yuan was always unable to answer the questions he asked.

For example, once, he asked: "What shortcomings do you think you have?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while, "My dad said I was timid and cowardly."

"Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow take this away from you in the future, so that your descendants would never have this shortcoming again?"

Chen Yuan: ...

"But this is not a shortcoming. Human nature is full of flowers. There are many ways to express courage. It is not an expression that everyone can see, but it is the only standard."

Chen Yuan buried his head and continued to gnaw on the candied haws, biting the candied haws until it crackled.

Another example, Professor Shen asked: "What I am doing now has a half chance of success. If it succeeds, it will greatly promote the development of mankind. If it fails, it will destroy mankind... Do you think I should continue to do it?"

Chen Yuan stared at him blankly, subconsciously took a big bite of the roasted sweet potato, and was instantly scalded to tears.

"If I don't do it, I will regret it for the rest of my life. If I do it, I'm afraid of failure..."

"I'll help you."

Chen Yuan swallowed the sweet potato with great difficulty, and replied nonchalantly: "You write down the steps to do things, and I can review them for you after going through them, and I will know right away which ones are not done correctly."

Professor Shen stared at Chen Yuan for a long time, and finally leaned against the back of the chair with a smile: "Then let's make an agreement, you must help me... even if I am gone, you must help my descendants, you can ?"

That smile made Chen Yuan inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He nodded while blowing on roasted sweet potatoes: "It's decided, I will definitely help you."

Even if you are gone, I will help your descendants.

……

you are gone...

familiar smile...

The snowy winter is really cold, so cold that people just want to sleep...

Bang-kuang-kuang-kuang-

"...Is it inside? Chen Yuan—Chen Yuan—"

Chen Yuan's body was falling, but a swaying beam of light appeared in front of his eyes. He raised his head with difficulty and saw a panicked figure.

"...you didn't turn on the phone, I've been looking for you all afternoon!...are you still alive?"

A pair of arms supported Chen Yuan, took him outside the freezer, and took off his hood.Shocked by the cool air, Chen Yuan regained consciousness a lot, rolled his eyes numbly, and saw a strange face.

"Are you okay? Why don't you open the terminal? Are you trying to freeze to death in there? Really, I'm the one in charge. If someone else had turned around and left, it doesn't matter if you freeze to death or not! "

The man babbled for a while, seeing Chen Yuan's dull expression, he stretched out his hand and shook in front of him: "Hey, hey! What about you, are you stupid? Take off your protective clothing and get in the car with me!"

Chen Yuan took a few breaths of air, took off his protective clothing with shaking hands, and followed the man who picked him up into the truck.

That man was a truck driver, he turned the ignition skillfully and started the car. He turned the steering wheel and said to Chen Yuan, "I'll take you back to my house to deal with it overnight, and wait until tomorrow..."

"No, I'm going to another place."

Chen Yuan rubbed his hands to recover some body temperature, and came back to his senses. He interrupted the man's words and said anxiously: "Go now, it's urgent!"

"Now?"

The man looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously, "Isn't it your first time in the main city, where are you going?"

"Federal Military University."

Chen Yuan replied firmly, "It's now, it's urgent!"

The author has something to say: Ah, why am I getting late!
