"… Why are you crying?"
Lu Zhou looked at Yan Yan, who had red and swollen eyes. He struggled to take off the breathing mask and paused for a second.
He just woke up, and his head was still a little dizzy. He didn't remember how he offended her.
He didn't know if it was because she was emotional, but when she heard this, her eyes became even redder.
Raising her arm to wipe her tears, Yanyan began to sob. Her usually serious face could no longer hold back her tears, and large teardrops rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
"I … I thought you wouldn't wake up."
She had been criticized and looked down on for the past few days. She didn't know what kind of torture she had been through.
Or even …
Even her own father didn't want to see her.
Lu Zhou: "…"
Even though he was touched that someone cared about him, he felt like if someone came in, there would be a misunderstanding.
Lu Zhou wasn't sure if he should comfort her or not. He hesitated for a bit and gave up on this idea.
After all, she was a grown woman, and she didn't need him to comfort her.
Thus, he coughed lightly and repeated his request.
"Give me my phone for a moment."
"Your phone?"
"My phone, don't tell me you didn't charge it." Lu Zhou tried to lift his arm, but he realized he didn't have much strength.
It seemed like he slept for too long, and his muscles were sore.
Even though someone probably gave him a massage to prevent muscle atrophy, it was impossible to not have any side effects.
However, with his metabolic ability, it would take him two or three days to fully recover.
Optimistically, it might not even take a day. A few hours would be enough.
Of course, in this regard, it was better not to be too shocking.
Lu Zhou was quite optimistic about his own situation.
Since the experiment was a success, the burden on his body was lifted. It wasn't a bad thing to stay in this hospital for a few days. He could just treat it as a rest.
"I'll go get it for you."
After hearing Lu Zhou's request, Yanyan did not dare to delay. She immediately stood up and walked quickly to the cabinet at the side.
All of Lu Zhou's personal belongings, including his cell phone and the notebook he carried with him to record his inspirations, were placed in the cabinet next to him. No one had touched them.
On the way to get the phone, Yan Yan reported the news of him waking up to her superior. Then, she returned to the bed and handed the phone to him.
"Here."
"Well, thank you."
After thanking him casually, Lu Zhou unlocked the phone without hesitation. When he saw that there was still 21% battery left, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he saw the calendar, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
What the hell?
I actually slept for half a month?!
Only then did Lu Zhou remember that after he changed his phone, the battery life had reached a new height with the breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology. Half a month of standby was no problem at all.
However, because he had OCD, he usually plugged in the charging cable whenever he had the chance, so he didn't feel the change at all.
When Lu Zhou looked at the calendar on the screen, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
If he upgraded to another level and slept for a few more days, he would probably be asleep until Chinese New Year. Otherwise, everyone would think that he was dead, and they would even write an obituary …
In fact, considering all kinds of scenarios, they actually wrote an obituary for him that he had become a vegetable. However, whether he woke up or not, he wouldn't be able to see it.
Suddenly, a string of Weibo messages popped up on his phone.
When Lu Zhou saw these messages, he paused for a second and clicked on them.
Then, he froze.
[Light the lamp, everyone, my condolences.]
[God Lu! Don't go! (cry) (cry)]
[(candle) (candle) (candle)]
[Daily incense.]
Lu Zhou:???
Although he was touched to be cared for by so many people, what the hell was all this about lighting lamps and offering incense?
Yan Yan was worried that Lu Zhou would faint again. She glanced at the screen and quickly explained.
"… Everyone is very concerned about you."
She felt like her words weren't comforting enough, so she added another sentence.
"This is … a way to pray for you."
Lu Zhou: "… Do you think this is my first time on the Internet?"
Yan Yan looked awkward and decided not to say anything else.
…
In addition to his "loving" fans, there were also a bunch of missed calls, text messages, and unread emails in his inbox.
For example, the girl in Princeton.
[Professor, where are you?]
[Are you sick?!]
[I'm in Beijing.]
[I … I can't get in …]
[My visa has expired, so I'm going back to Princeton … If you wake up, please tell me, okay?]
When Lu Zhou looked at this email, he had a complicated expression on his face.
He went silent for a while before he typed out an email and sent it over.
[I'm fine, I've recovered. Don't worry about me.]
Lu Zhou clicked the send button and sighed. He then threw his phone on the bedside table.
No one had ever told him so directly that he liked this kind of feeling.
To be honest, although he had left this matter to time, he still did not know how to deal with this matter.
If …
If only feelings were as simple as mathematics.
Noticing the complicated expression on Lu Zhou's face, Yanyan thought that he was feeling unwell, so she immediately asked.
"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
Lu Zhou: "Doctor Yan, can I ask you a private question?"
Yanyan nodded seriously. "Go ahead."
Lu Zhou: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
The moment Yanyan heard this question, her cheeks flushed red.
M-boyfriend?
Why did you ask me if I had a boyfriend?
Although she really didn't …
Could it be …
Yan Yan, who was at a loss, glanced at Lu Zhou nervously.
Although she had never considered being with a researcher.
But upon closer inspection …
It seemed to be quite interesting?
No, rather than saying it was pleasing to the eye, it would be more accurate to say that it was a little handsome.
Especially when he was serious, there was a strange kind of attraction to him …
Wait a minute, why do I remember his serious looks so clearly?
It was snowing outside the window, but Yanyan felt like her cheeks were burning, like she was about to get a heat stroke.
Like a robot, she pretended to be calm and replied word by word.
"No, I don't."
"Really?"
Lu Zhou sighed and looked a little disappointed.
"Then forget it."
If I don't have a boyfriend, there's no point asking.
As expected, I have to ask someone with experience.
But who should I ask?
Brother Fei? Brother Luo? I feel like they're experienced, but they're different from me.
This is giving me a headache …
Yanyan: "…???"
Wait a minute, why forget it?
What about the second half of the sentence?
In any case, you should at least finish your sentence!
Just as she was about to ask, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Accompanied by a man in military uniform, a benevolent old man appeared at the door.
When Yanyan saw the two standing at the door, she immediately stood up and gave a military salute.
The old man smiled and nodded at her, indicating that she didn't have to be so serious. He even made a joke to ease the atmosphere.
"Did I disturb you guys?"
Yanyan's face was still red as she quickly said, "No, no, no."
Lu Zhou: "…?"
What's the difference between "no" and "no"?
However, the old man seemed to understand her hesitation as he smiled and shook his head.
"Little girl, go out for a second. I have something to talk to Professor Lu about."
"… Okay."
Yanyan nodded mechanically and walked away stiffly.
The old man's gaze fell back onto Lu Zhou. He paused for a second and put on a serious expression.
"Professor Lu, I'm glad to see you wake up.
"On behalf of our country and 1.4 billion people, I want to thank you!
"You've worked hard!"
