The dragon I raised by myself

Speaking of raising a dragon once, Professor Chen smiled, and fine lines appeared in the corners of his eyes, which are the traces of time.It's been a long time, 22 years.

At that time, he had just finished the college entrance examination, and before he could relax for two days, he packed his bags and went up the mountain at the urging of the former patriarch.They stayed for several months, and even spent nearly half of their freshman year on the mountain.

Professor Chen looked at Yu Zhouhe and joked, "But I was lucky. There were not so many dragon eggs born during that time, and I only needed to take care of one baby dragon."

He heard about the current situation from Dong Bing, and knew that there were a lot of dragon eggs this time.

Yu Zhouhe raised the corners of his lips, and he didn't feel that he was unlucky. After all, every cub was cute in his eyes.Facing Professor Shang's gaze, he was a little curious, "Then what color is the one you raised?"

Will it clash with the cubs in the family?If the color is the same, will they be related?

There was a smile in his eyes, and it was quite interesting to make random guesses like this.

Professor Chen didn't answer right away, but paused for a moment, as if pulling out some fragments of the past from his memory, and said after a while: "Silver, it's silver."

Silver is a gradient of gray and a representative color of mystery.

As for the baby dragon covered in silver scales, it should... still be ugly.

Professor Chen laughed: "You also think they are ugly, right? I said they were ugly at the time, and they were very angry. They lost their temper for a long time and almost set fire to the house."

A bit reckless, that silver young dragon...

In comparison, the cubs in the family are all good babies. He didn't pay attention to it before, and they were angry when he said they were ugly several times, and they would not tear down the house.

Professor Chen always had a smile on his face, "It's like this. Young dragons have different personalities. Some have good tempers and some have bad tempers. Some are noisy and some are quiet. They can't be exactly the same."

The only exception is that they are equally frank and sincere when dealing with things they like.

Maybe there is indeed a resonance. Yu Zhouhe listened to the professor tell some interesting stories about raising dragons, and instead of being impatient, he found it very interesting.He suddenly thought of something, relaxed his sitting posture, and asked with a smile: "I heard that there are three criteria for choosing dragon guardians, do you know this?"

Professor Chen was puzzled: "There is another matter, which three?"

Yu Zhouhe chuckled: "Good-looking, highly educated, and strong."

Professor Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This was casually said by the young people in the clan a few years ago, but I didn't expect it to be passed on in a decent way now."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Zhouhe and made a joke, "But it makes sense when you think about it carefully. It's completely consistent with what you said."

Yu Zhouhe also joked: "Professor, are you also praising yourself in disguise?"

Professor Chen came to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and changed the subject: "When you came out this time, those young dragons didn't make trouble, right? Speaking of which, it's been three months, and they're about to reach their growth stage."

Yu Zhouhe didn't hide it, saying that the birth times of the several dragon cubs were different, and that the two that broke their shells behind them hadn't yet reached the growth stage, so they were a little bit resistant to his departure, but finally agreed.

As for the matter of the little monster shrinking its body and coming out, he decided not to mention it after thinking about it, so as not to cause complications.

Professor Chen understood.There are more young dragons, and they can be accompanied by each other to have an impact. Even if the two dragon cubs are still in their newborn stages, with other young dragons by their side, they will not feel excessively lonely and uneasy because their guardians leave.

Yu Zhouhe Ruo realized something, "Then you raised a baby dragon back then, it was actually no easier than mine, right?"

Without other dragon cubs for company, the silver baby dragon will only be completely dependent on the guardian and will not allow the other party to leave.

Professor Chen put the glasses back on and nodded: "It's true that it can't be separated from people all day. It grows slowly, and it hasn't passed the newborn period in four months, so it can't go down the mountain at all."

Because of this, the university report can only be postponed for one month.At that time, there were no smartphones, and communication depended on pagers, and even game consoles were a luxury.He is young, he can't stand the boring life of staying on the mountain all day, and he doesn't dare to sneak down the mountain, his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he will get angry with Xiao Yinlong from time to time.

Talking about the foolishness when he was young, Professor Chen was a little embarrassed, and only said: "In retrospect, I regret it. Compared with you, I am not a qualified guardian."

Yu Zhouhe shook his head.

He could understand that a person was alone on the mountain, without any form of entertainment, and no way to communicate with the outside world. Unless someone from the clan came over, there would be no one to talk to.Four months like this is really unbearable.Besides, he didn't think he was really qualified as a guardian.

Professor Chen smiled kindly, "Don't be modest, you took good care of those young dragons. I just let you go because I know that your personality is suitable for raising dragons."

Yu Zhouhe still wanted to say something more, the professor looked at his watch, said that it was too late to get down to business, and began to talk about graduate school.

Yu Zhouhe had no choice but to give up, saying that he had already submitted the research materials to the college, and only waited for the follow-up interview notice.

Professor Chen made a few strokes in his notebook, "I know your grades, there will be no problem. Have you thought about your future research direction?"

Yu Zhouhe: "At this stage, I am more interested in animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, and I really want to go directly to zoology."

Professor Chen: "Both are fine. There are similarities between the two, but one is more practical and the other is more theoretical. During this period of time, you can think about it and decide on the research topic you are most interested in."

Yu Zhouhe nodded, intending to think about it carefully.

Professor Chen put down his pen, "But I still have a choice for you, you can think about it."

Yu Zhouhe looked at him, "Professor, are you referring to..."

Professor Chen handed over a leaflet with white letters on a blue background. On it, the two lines of "Binhai Institute of Life Sciences 12 Joint Training Project" were particularly conspicuous.

"This is a training program just launched by the School of Biological Sciences and the Institute this year. There are only two places in the whole school. If you are willing to go, I can help you write a letter of recommendation."

Yu Zhouhe took the presentation sheet and looked at it. This joint training program refers to a three-year master's program, one year at school, and two years at a research institute. It is mainly to train young researchers in the field of life sciences.

Binhai Institute of Biological Sciences is one of the best in the country, and two laboratories even rank well in the world. If you can study here, it will be a rare opportunity for future scientific research.

Yu Zhouhe's eyes lit up: "Thank you Professor, I want to sign up."

Professor Chen waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. My recommendation letter doesn't mean you can get in directly. You still have to take the written test and interview. I'll make a list of books for you in the next two days, and go back and take a good look."

It is still in the registration stage, and the written test will start after returning from the winter vacation, and there are still more than two months to go.

"Okay, I will study hard."

Professor Chen smiled: "Okay, I'll take you to the institute tomorrow to get a feel for the environment there. That's it for today, and the time is about the same. You can prepare for your defense."

Yu Zhouhe nodded, thanked the professor again, took his bag and left the office.The meeting room for the defense is on the same floor, but you have to go through a corridor to another building.

There was no one in the corridor, the little monster stuck its head out of the hat and rubbed against his neck.

Yu Zhouhe touched it, "I have wronged you, just hide for a while, and it will be fine in the evening."

The little monster nodded and gently rubbed against his hand, the scales were icy cold.

Yu Zhouhe rolled his eyes and said, "You're so good."

When they arrived, the boss of the dormitory had just arrived and was queuing up to copy the PPT. When they saw him, they raised their heads and said hello.The boss asked when he arrived, and Yu Zhouhe said just now.The boss then asked him whether he should go back to the internship directly or stay overnight after finishing his defense later.

Before going down the mountain, he booked a hotel in advance on the Internet, and he didn't plan to go back to the dormitory. After all, the little monster was still following him, so it was inconvenient to live with other people.Hearing the boss's question, he said vaguely: "I have something to do, I have to leave first at night."

"Hmm." The boss didn't ask much.

The second child copied the PPT, came over and gave him a wink: "When will you invite me to dinner, Brother National Award?"

He really said before that he would treat guests after winning the national award, so he couldn't break his promise, Yu Zhouhe said: "Let's go tonight after the defense."

"Good job." The boss and the three gave him a thumbs up at the same time.

It's not difficult to start a question. The main thing is that several teachers in the department will score and give opinions based on the performance of the students' defense.First, you need to use one sentence to explain what the paper researched, and then talk about the ideas and possible conclusions. After listening, the teachers will express their own opinions and suggestions, and basically no one will have any problems.

After it was over, Yu Zhou and the others went straight to the hot pot restaurant. It was cold and hot hot pot was the most appetizing.While eating and chatting about their plans for the future, except for Yu Zhouhe, the other three did not plan to read any further.

The eldest is a rich second generation, and he goes back to inherit the family business; the second is planning to start a business with a senior he knows; the third is planning to teach high school biology and is preparing to take the teacher qualification certificate exam.

They all supported him when he said he wanted to go to graduate school.As a major of animal science, further studies should lead to better development, and they all felt that Xiaoyao is suitable for scientific research, and he will definitely become a big boss in the future.

After eating for only half an hour, Yu Zhouhe was a little absent-minded. Thinking of the little monster hiding in the hat without saying a word, but he was eating and drinking here, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his face seemed much more silent than usual.

The boss asked him: "Is the internship too tiring?"

Yu Zhouhe couldn't explain it, so he could only say, "It's a little bit."

The second child drank the Coke in the cup, "Then let's go back early."

He said that he wanted to treat guests, but he didn't let them eat to their fullest. He was really embarrassed, but he was really worried about Zai Zai, so he said that he would invite them again next time.The other three waved their hands indifferently, saying that it was okay, they were full.

Several people bid farewell at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

The hotel Yu Zhouhe booked was two streets away, and he walked all the way back, and there were various shops on both sides of the road.Suddenly seeing a brightly lit jewelry store with a few dolls in the window at the door, he stopped, turned around and walked in.

Don't forget to buy gifts for the cubs.

The clerk was a young girl. Seeing a handsome guy coming in, she quietly picked up her phone and took a profile photo, and sent it to her best friend on WeChat.

—I saw a handsome guy, he looks so good! [picture]

—Exquisite, don’t be careless, hurry up!

—Forget it, he is looking at a doll, he must buy it for his girlfriend.But look at the way he chooses carefully, he is so damn handsome! ! !

— No matter how good a man is, he has a partner, Ku Liao! !

"Hi, may I ask if this doll has other colors?" Yu Zhouhe didn't know that he was being discussed, so he took the doll he liked and asked politely.

The clerk hurriedly locked the phone, "Ah, what are you talking about? The black one in your hand is Toothless. We also have a light doll here, which is white. Do you need it?"

Yu Zhouhe seldom watched animated movies, so he didn't understand the meaning of Toothless Boy and Guangsha, but he could probably guess that it was the name of the doll.This doll looks a lot like a dragon cub...maybe a little better looking...bought as a gift.

"Is there anything other than white, like pink?" he asked.

Little monsters like pink ones, it would be the best if they are available.

The clerk asked: "Are you buying it for your girlfriend? If yes, you can actually buy black and white. It just happens to be one for each person. It's a pair."

Yu Zhouhe shook his head: "I bought it for the small animals at home."

Small animals mean pets?Buy pink dolls for pets, so girly!The clerk smiled and said, "There are no pink dolls, but there are pink pet clothes of the same style, which can be worn by small animals, keeping them warm and cute."

With that said, she led Yu Zhouhe to the shelf inside.I saw toothless pet clothes of various colors stacked on it, black, white, red, green, blue, pink, purple, orange...but there was no gold.
