Why wasn't it out yet?
Gu Nianzhi's phone was almost out of battery.
She took out the charger from her backpack and went to the guest room to look for a plug. She texted He Zhichu, "Professor He, do you have anything else?"
He Zhichu was sitting in Dr. Douglas's lab at the moment. He watched Dr. Douglas perform tests and record data as he checked his work email.
When Gu Nianzhi's text came in, he immediately saw it. He hesitated for a moment before texting her back. "There are still four hours. Do you want to go back to school first, or do you want to wait here?"
Gu Nianzhi stared at her phone in disbelief.
She still had to wait for four hours!
What about dinner?
Gu Nianzhi felt a little hungry.
She paced around the guest room and thought that if she went back to school now, she would be delayed for an hour. She would have to take a public bus and transfer to the subway to get back to school.
If she had to come back, it would only take two hours to go back and forth. What was the point of going through all that trouble?
She didn't want to go back to school or stay there. She opened the search function on her phone and saw a Starbucks nearby. She texted He Zhichu, "Professor He, I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back in four hours, okay?"
"Where are you going?" He Zhichu was unhappy and changed his mind. He continued texting her, "Come in and see how Dr. Douglas performs the tests. You saw it with your own eyes, so you won't doubt it, right?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless at He Zhichu's stubbornness, but she couldn't think of any other reason to refute him. Also, He Zhichu's caution made her curious.
Was there really something between her and Gu Yanran that couldn't be told?
But if that was the case, why did Gu Yanran act like she didn't know her?
If Gu Nianzhi really was her sister and had only been lost when she was 12, then how could Gu Yanran not recognize her?
She didn't go missing when she was a baby …
Gu Nianzhi pouted and sent a simple text, "Ok."
"Come to Dr. Douglas's lab." He Zhichu texted back.
Gu Nianzhi arrived at Dr. Douglas's lab and knocked on the door.
He Zhichu got up to open the door for her and stepped aside to let her in.
After Gu Nianzhi entered, she walked to Dr. Douglas's side and watched her perform the tests.
She liked it very much and was very interested in it. She even asked all sorts of questions while Dr. Douglas was waiting for the data.
Gu Nianzhi didn't major in science at university, but that didn't stop her from being interested in it. She also had excellent hands-on skills.
After watching from the side for a while, she was able to help Dr. Douglas with some simple experiments.
"Little Gu, you really are a genius." Dr. Douglas was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile, "There's a white coat over there. Go, put it on and help me with the experiment."
He Zhichu would be more at ease if Gu Nianzhi did it herself, right?
Dr. Douglas looked at He Zhichu inquiringly.
He Zhichu nodded slightly. "Nianzhi, help Dr. Douglas well. Don't be naughty."
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes inwardly.
Naughty?!
She had stopped being naughty eight hundred years ago …
Because there was something to do, Gu Nianzhi didn't feel like waiting was very boring.
She wore Dr. Douglas's white lab coat and walked among the instruments. She occasionally stopped to make notes and bring the data to Dr. Douglas to ask if there was anything she didn't understand.
Although it was her first time doing experiments, her intuition was very sharp and her hands were very smooth.
Some of the parts that required precise hand gestures were demonstrated by Dr. Douglas once, and Gu Nianzhi was able to accurately repeat them.
He Zhichu looked up from his phone and looked deeply at Gu Nianzhi, who was completely focused. His lips involuntarily curved into a knowing smile.
This Nianzhi was his Nianzhi …
…
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the snow-white windows of the laboratory. Gu Nianzhi put the last test tube into the DNA PCR and clapped her hands. "Dr. Douglas, is there anything else? It's all done. "
Dr. Douglas smiled. "That's all. The results will be out in an hour and a half. Come, let's order some takeout. What do you want to eat? "
Gu Nianzhi really felt hungry and immediately said, "I want shrimp, fresh meat dumplings, and some fruits. Do you have cantaloupe?"
Dr. Douglas laughed. "Little Gu, aren't you afraid of getting fat? You're eating so much? "
"Not much …" Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu. "Is it a lot?"
Dr. Douglas took out the phone to order and said, "I never eat carbohydrates at night. I only eat vegetables and fruits, and I have to eat them raw."
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and shook her head. She didn't eat what rabbits ate …
He Zhichu ate even less at night. Most of the time, he finished with a glass of red wine. However, seeing Gu Nianzhi's appetite, he also said, "I also want shrimp, fresh meat dumplings, and cantaloupe."
Twenty minutes later, the takeout arrived.
The three of them ate dinner in the small room in the laboratory.
Because she had worked all afternoon, Gu Nianzhi was really hungry and ate a lot. However, she ate with great manners. Although she was hungry, she didn't wolf down her food.
Dr. Douglas was secretly amazed and couldn't help being more polite and affectionate to Gu Nianzhi. "Little Gu, where did you grow up? The way you eat, you look like a princess. "
Gu Nianzhi swallowed the last mouthful of fresh meat dumplings and rinsed her mouth with water before smiling. "Dr. Douglas, I grew up here. Because the person who brought me up was a soldier, he was very strict with discipline, so I was trained to be like this. If you think this is a princess, I don't think the real princesses in Europe would agree. "
Dr. Douglas laughed at her. Seeing that she was enjoying the food, he ordered dessert and ice cream for her.
The three of them ate for more than an hour. The atmosphere was very cheerful and warm.
After dinner, Dr. Douglas clapped his hands. "Mr. He, it's time. Let's go see the results."
He Zhichu nodded. He was still as aloof as ever as he followed Dr. Douglas into the laboratory.
Gu Nianzhi also followed.
She watched closely as Dr. Douglas took out the things from the equipment. The developed pictures were hung on the special frame in the laboratory. There were also the experimental data reports printed out in triplicate for each of them.
As Dr. Douglas looked at the data and pictures, she kept exclaiming, "Oh, my Lord." She looked at the pictures, then at Gu Nianzhi. She turned to He Zhichu and said, "Mr. He, the blood sample and dental records you brought over are exactly the same as Little Gu's blood and dental records. They are the same person. Look at the data. "
"That's impossible!" Gu Nianzhi blurted out. Her heart skipped a beat and she leaned back against the wall of the laboratory. She instinctively wanted to run away but realized there was nowhere to hide.
He Zhichu stared at her. There was a hint of pain and hurt in his eyes. "Nianzhi, you did the experiments yourself. I got the things myself. You still don't believe me?"
