Yang Xiaoman drove alone to Xu Mang's home. Although she felt a little lonely, when Xu Mang stepped half a foot into the field of scientific research, she had already realized it. But if possible, Xiao Man would

Opposing Xu Mang's scientific research, she is not a saint after all.

for a long time,

Arriving at the door of Xu Mang's house, Xu's mother enthusiastically received her daughter-in-law. When she saw that she had bought herself expensive jewelry, she said it was a waste, but she was actually so happy that she wished she could use a speaker to follow her.

The whole neighborhood showed off.

"Xiaoman."

"Every time I come back, I have to buy such expensive jewelry. Don't do it next time." Xu's mother pretended to be angry and said, "As long as you can come back..."

The words fell,

Xu's mother said angrily: "This brat ran away during the Chinese New Year and won't even come back home. Fortunately, you remember... When he comes back, I will break his legs. Look.

He can’t get out yet!”

Although Xu's mother is not highly educated, she still understands the truth. She knows that her son is a scientist and it is normal for him to stay away from home during the New Year and holidays. However, when facing her daughter-in-law, she must scold her son hard, or at least let her

Xiaoman felt better.

"mom..."

"Xu Mang is on a mission, and it is normal for him not to be able to come back." Yang Xiaoman smiled bitterly: "Actually... I'm used to it."

"Oh... I'm so sorry for you..." Xu's mother held Xiaoman's hand and said with a sad face: "I don't know why, but this brat used to have very poor grades. He was either the last in the class or the last one in the class.

Second to last, I suddenly became a scientist and I didn’t even have the slightest bit of defense.”

yes!

This is so sudden!

Yang Xiaoman was also full of doubts about this, but she was more accepting of the fact that Xu Mang had changed than her mother-in-law. She couldn't help it...she was such a prosperous husband.

It's half past five in the afternoon,

In a private room of a five-star hotel in Ning City, Yang Xiaoman sat next to her mother-in-law, greeting Xu Mang's relatives one by one. Although Xu Mang's relatives were all in business,

When facing Yang Xiaoman, these elders did not dare to behave as elders should.

While eating the delicious food, when I thought about my husband still rushing into the laboratory, I felt sad and helpless at the same time. This big idiot...could obviously push it away, but he wanted to take the responsibility on himself. It was originally

Others are begging us, now...

Suddenly,

Yang Xiaoman felt that these meals were tasteless. Whenever she thought about Xu Mang's current situation, she felt upset and lost her appetite.

Originally it was time to toast at this time, but everyone present understood that if Lao Xu's daughter-in-law was allowed to toast at this time, I'm afraid... there would be no good fruit to eat in the future. Lao Xu's son is now extraordinary, a great scientist...

Moreover, he is also Yang Jian's son-in-law, so some jokes are not allowed and it is easy to cause trouble.

at the same time,

Academician Zhong was also having the reunion dinner, but his mood was not very high at this time. Xu Mang had already taken the responsibility and promised to complete it after the year. But when he thought about it, this matter obviously had nothing to do with him. As a result.

..He took on responsibilities that should not have been his.

"What's wrong?"

"I've been looking sad since I came back. Can you please smile?" Academician Zhong's wife rolled her eyes at her husband and said angrily: "Don't bring bad luck into the New Year. You are like this... How can everyone celebrate the New Year?"

ah?"

"hehe..."

Academician Zhong tried hard to pull back his emotions and smiled at his wife: "I understand... don't always look like preaching to me. I am also an academician of the Academy of Sciences after all. How many people respect me, and you are the only one who respects me."

You are angry at me, an academician."

Academician Zhong's wife glared at him and said helplessly: "Anyway, don't show such a bitter face in front of these juniors."

As soon as the words fell,

He couldn't help but asked curiously: "By the way... aren't you coming back? Why are you coming back all of a sudden? Has your project been cancelled?"

"No."

"Does Xu Mang know?" Academician Zhong asked.

"Xu Mang?"

"Our precious granddaughter seems to like Xu Mang very much." Academician Zhong's wife said: "In order to be able to see Xu Mang, she also planned to take the exam for Fuzhou University... As a result, she has resigned, which makes my precious granddaughter very sad.

, why did you suddenly mention what he was doing?"

"..."

"It's nothing...forget it, there are many things you can't know." Academician Zhong said, "It's time for them to come and toast, help me fill up the wine."

...

Beijing,

A temporary office in the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,

Xu Mang, who was alone, was making hot pot for himself. The day before yesterday, he went to a large supermarket and bought two weeks of food and water. There was nothing he could do... The head chef of the institute also went home, so he could only

Make enough food and clothing by yourself.

At this time,

Two young researchers came to the office. In fact, they were only intern researchers and had not become regular employees.

"well?"

"Professor Xu?"

"How about hot pot?" One of the young people said with a smile: "I was planning to invite you to our office for dinner, how about...we also move here?"

"Okay!" Xu Mang smiled and took out a bottle of single malt whiskey and said, "I happened to bring a very good bottle of single malt whiskey, and the three of us drank it together."

soon,

Xu Mang and two intern researchers were quite happy while eating hot pot and maocai and drinking wine.

"Professor Xu?"

"Why did you stay?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, there is no need to stay at all, and you will suffer the consequences for staying... It is completely unnecessary."

"no way."

"I promised Academician Zhong that I will definitely get it done." Xu Mang smiled bitterly and said, "I will do what I say."

"..."

"..."

Everyone knows that Xu Mang is very strong, but it is rare to be this strong, but it is probably because of this that he can achieve this level of achievement.

Infected by Xu Mang's fighting spirit, the two of them raised their wine glasses and paid tribute to the great scientist. Among them, Xiao Cai said seriously: "Professor Xu... I salute you."

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Actually, there is no need to pay tribute to me or anything. There are many unknown people in this world who spend New Year's Eve alone. I am just one of these people."

After three rounds of drinking,

Both young men were slightly tipsy, but Xu Mang seemed to be fine. While eating the food crazily, he used his mobile phone to send WeChat messages to Xiaoman, and by the way, he took a picture of the New Year's Eve dinner he had at this time, and the result...

. But Xiaoman was very sad, and a phone call came right after.

"Don't worry..."

"I'm fine...I'm fine...I'm fine." Xu Mang said helplessly: "I have two colleagues here, yes...we'll spend New Year's Eve together."

Ten minutes later, I hung up the phone.

"Professor Xu?"

"Your lover?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously: "It's a little early for you to get married...I'm not married yet, but you are married. Many people are full of fear of marriage and think marriage is a tomb.

.”

"The engagement... hasn't ended yet." Xu Mang said helplessly: "Probably..."

He glanced at the time and saw that there were still two hours before the New Year, and then said: "In two hours, I will go get the marriage certificate in June."

"Actually, marriage..." Xu Mang thought for a moment and said calmly: "It's not as scary as you think. In fact, it's more of a responsibility and protection, being able to support each other and stay together until old age... This is

The true meaning of marriage.”

Hearing Xu Mang's words, the two young men felt helpless. They understood the truth... but it was a little difficult for them to sit up.

Another hour passed,

The two of them were slumped on the table. They were already completely drunk after less than two drinks. This made Xu Mang feel helpless. He had already drank more than half a bottle and was only slightly tipsy.

at this time,

Twenty-three:08,

There was still a lifeless look outside the window.
