Chapter 14: Pampering His Wife!
"Of course I'm sure."
"Why would I want to see your senior or junior sister?" Chen Zhuoan's tone was somewhat dismissive.
Su Xiheng looked up, squinted at Chen Zhuoan, her eyes sparkling, and hummed, "Are you sure it won't work either?"
"First, I can't find my teacher."
"Secondly, even if I could find him, I wouldn't. Why should my teacher see a mere medical student like you?"
Third, I don't want you to worry about my wife!
Su Xiheng firmly emphasized, "It's not that I don't want you to care about me, it's that you can't be too involved and neglect your own affairs."
Su Xiheng was truly moved by Chen Zhuoan's "gift".
She found the reason for Chen Zhuoan's declining grades.
Very serious.
Chen Zhuoan must have secretly looked at his computer, which is why he spent a lot of time reading documents and searching for information, and then racked his brains...
Doing scientific research and coming up with research topics requires not only inspiration but also a lot of time.
Moreover, Su Xiheng could understand Chen Zhuoan's actions.
In 04, Central South University, among other pilot universities, enrolled students in the eight-year program for the first time. Only a small number of lucky students were able to switch from the seven-year program to the eight-year program!
She and Chen Zhuoan were separated by a single point, and thus entered different educational systems.
But their expectations and plans have always been to be together...
It has been 10 years now, and her seven-year program is about to end. If she cannot switch to an eight-year program, she will only be able to graduate with a master's degree.
"I still need you."
Chen Zhuoan didn't delve into his wife's hidden thoughts: "Then who can you find? I want to talk to her."
Su Xiheng slowly put down her chopsticks and leisurely wiped her mouth with a tissue: "What exactly do you need someone for?"
Mala Tang is spicy, so Su Xiheng's lips were a vibrant, luscious color.
After wiping her mouth, she habitually scraped her lips with her tongue to scan for the taste before wiping them again.
This is Su Xiheng's little habit, which she calls savoring and "reminiscing".
Chen Zhuoan hadn't seen Su Xiheng for so long that he was momentarily captivated by her.
At twenty-four, Su Xiheng didn't look as tired as she did at thirty-four; she had excellent skin and was youthful and beautiful.
Chen Zhuoan felt incredibly lucky; he had captured Su Xiheng's entire youth—
It's incredible that I can go back to when I was twenty-four and spend that unforgettable youth with her again.
"Speak up, stop looking." Su Xiheng tapped Chen Zhuoan's right chin with her finger.
"You haven't shaved."
Twenty-four-year-old Chen Zhuoan was very diligent in taking care of his personal hygiene, but after Su Xiheng left when he was thirty-five, he became too lazy to bother with such things.
When you enter the operating room, you wear a mask, and nobody pays you any attention.
From that time on, Chen Zhuoan closed his eyes to romantic relationships; his world consisted only of the person who supported him.
Being filial to his parents and doing right by the patients who provide him with enough to eat is Chen Zhuoan's entire world.
Furthermore, the two elders never specifically advised Chen Zhuoan to remarry; they only mentioned it casually twice during the year-end season, and then never brought it up again.
This clearly shows how much Su Baobao means to her parents!
Seeing that the Chen family line was about to end, the two elders did not force their son to continue the family line.
Chen Zhuoan knew that meeting Su Xiheng was the greatest luck of his life.
"I have my own thoughts, I'll tell you after we finish talking," Chen Zhuoan said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Su Xiheng stood up abruptly: "You're not stupid enough to come to our gastroenterology department for my sake, are you?"
"That definitely won't work!"
Chen Zhuoan smiled casually and replied calmly, "It's best for husband and wife to work in different departments but in the same office; that's the rule in many organizations."
"I won't make a fool of myself."
……
Lan Hongmian is an associate professor in Su Xiheng's research group, and currently manages all the trivial matters within the group.
Today, she happened to be in the lab guiding one of Professor Su Xiheng's doctoral students in their graduation project.
At this moment, Su Xiheng's senior sister had already gone out.
"Dr. Chen, please come in and have a seat." Lan Hongmian said politely, "Please make yourself at home."
"Everyone in our lab knows you."
In fact, Chen Zhuoan in his previous life also knew Lan Hongmian, and even knew Su Xiheng's mentor, and was quite familiar with him.
Moreover, this didn't happen after Chen Zhuoan became famous.
There's plenty of gossip in the internal medicine lab, and the story of Su Xiheng and Chen Zhuoan is, in everyone's eyes, gossip without any flaws.
So everyone can simply enjoy this "melon".
Su Xiheng's mentor, the associate professor in her research group, and her fellow students all regarded Chen Zhuoan as their "laboratory son-in-law".
Moreover, this honor is reserved for Chen Zhuoan alone.
In a laboratory, how many people can have their own childhood sweethearts who have stayed together until their doctoral studies?
"Hello Professor Lan, my name is Chen Zhuoan. I am also a student of this school." Chen Zhuoan stated his identity very naturally, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I know." Lan Hongmian picked up her water glass and took a sip. In her thirties, she maintained a very good figure.
Moreover, she was very generous, casually smoothing her hair and tying it up: "Xiao Su told us about you."
"But I'm curious, you actually took the initiative to come to me."
"Dr. Chen... thank you for taking such good care of our Xiao Su."
Chen Zhuoan was taken aback: "Huh?"
Lan Hongmian: "Xiao Su is already in her twenties, yet she can still be as innocent and radiant as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. You deserve a lot of credit for that!"
Chen Zhuoan immediately understood and quickly said, "Teacher Lan, if Xiheng did anything wrong, I apologize on her behalf."
If a superior says a subordinate is naive and smug, it's best not to take it seriously.
Chen Zhuoan often said the same thing to a small group of subordinates or students.
Lan Hongmian paused for a moment: "Xiao Chen, you misunderstood. I was just saying that as a formality, and I didn't mean anything else."
"You don't need to worry so much."
"Tell me... what's the matter that you specifically sought me out for?"
"Do you want me to give Xiao Su a few days off? Are you two planning a mini-honeymoon? Or something else?"
As Lan Hongmian spoke, she began to organize the documents on the table, which included her schedule and the progress of different members' projects.
Lan Hongmian is the research director in the laboratory. If she decides to give Su Xiheng a leave of absence, Su Xiheng can also take a leave of absence.
Su Xiheng's difficulty in switching to the eight-year program does not mean that graduating from the seven-year program is problematic.
To switch from a seven-year to an eight-year program, and to award a doctoral degree directly upon completion of the eight-year program, requires breaking through constraints and having a prestigious academic record.
Chen Zhuoan suddenly smiled: "Professor Lan, would you like to get my son, Xiao Su, promoted to professor ahead of schedule, and at the same time, get him promoted to associate researcher ahead of schedule as well?"
The documents in Lan Hongmian's hands were scattered all over the floor.
She looked up at Chen Zhuoan, her mouth slightly open, before she pressed down hard on the document in her hand with her right hand to prevent it from falling again!
He then bent down to pick up the documents, saying, "When it comes to spoiling your girlfriend, you're definitely a professional!"
"But you're a professional at joking..."
Associate Professor Lan Hongmian's voice came from under the table.
