Zhao Anan was full of sympathy and begged Mu Qing,"Can I raise one?"
Men and women's logic and psychological state were completely different.
Mu Qing liked small animals too, but these white mice were specially fed for experiments. They were just mice, so he had no reason to feel bad about them.
Seeing that Zhao Anan wanted to raise one, he refused without thinking."No, you can 't. First, they carried all kinds of bacteria and viruses, which were likely to be contagious. Second, their lifespans are very short, at most two to three years. When they die, you'll definitely cry. "
Alright, that seemed to make sense.
If the little thing that she had raised for a few years suddenly died, she would really be very sad.
She followed Mu Qing around with a pout, but soon her attention was drawn away.
There were thousands of white mice here, and every one of them was numbered. Their birth, illness, diet, medication, and so on were recorded in detail.
In some of the rooms, the workers were busy cleaning the garbage and recording the data of the mice. They all greeted Mu Qing and Zhao Anan warmly when they saw them.
"Dean mu, is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty, how did she fall for you?"
"That's right, Dean mu. This is the first time I've seen you bring a girl here! Why is it that all the animals in the Research Institute are male? now that there's a beauty, everyone's even more motivated to work!"
"Dean mu, you should recruit more female researchers to participate in our research and development work. By then, the efficiency will definitely double! We single men will have a place to settle down!"
……
Everyone was talking and laughing. Mu Qing was also talking to them with a smile. Zhao Anan just stood beside Mu Qing and laughed, but did not interrupt.
She was usually a very active and talkative person, but recently, she had changed a lot in dealing with people.
She would not be as insensible as she used to be when they were outside. She would not be rude to Mu Qing and say whatever she wanted to say. She now understood that she did not need to say anything in front of Mu Qing's friends and colleagues. She just needed to stand quietly by Mu Qing's side.
In this way, Mu Qing would have more prestige in front of his colleagues.
Zhao Anan was polite and well mannered. She was also polite and well-mannered, which surprised Mu Qing a little. But the researchers had a good impression of her and kept praising her.
Their drug research and development had made a breakthrough, and in the past two months, they had also achieved very good results on volunteers. Everyone's face was full of joy.
The research and development of every drug was a huge project that required the research and experimentation of researchers day and night.
Zhao Anan held Mu Qing's hands tightly.
Mu Qing was definitely the chief supervisor of the research and development of the medicine, and his work was the heaviest and most exhausting.
He didn't know how much blood, sweat, and tears he had put in behind her back, but he had never heard him complain.
Her heart was touched yet heavy.
If her illness could not be cured, all of Mu Qing's efforts would be in vain. Would he break down?
When she had first arrived, she had complained that Mu Qing had lied to her and that he had not prepared a romantic surprise for her. But it turned out that he had prepared the best gift!
He must have been preparing for many, many years!
After the tour of the lab, Mu Qing took Zhao Anan to the bacteria control room, where active cancer cells could be seen.
After that, they went to the pharmaceutical Department.
There were also many people busy in the pharmaceutical Department. Although mechanical work could be realized now, many medicinal materials still needed to be processed manually.
The anti-cancer drugs developed by Mu Qing's team were still in the experimental stage, so they had not been produced in large quantities, only a small part of them.
Mu Qing took Zhao Anan to his office after visiting several departments.
In the office, Barton was analyzing the latest patient data with his thick glasses. He did not even notice Mu Qing when he came in.
Mu Qing didn't interrupt him, but just introduced him to Zhao Anan in a low voice.
He took off his sterile clothes and Zhao Anan 's, and walked out with her slowly.
"Barton is a workaholic. He only sleeps a few hours a day, and he spends all his time researching and developing drugs. He's half the reason why the drug has made such a major breakthrough. Do you know why you're so desperate?"
Zhao Anan shook her head slightly.
"Because his wife and daughter both died of cancer."
Mu Qing's words made Zhao Anan feel as if her heart had been hit hard.
She couldn't help but hold Mu Qing's hand tightly.
That was what she was most afraid of. She was afraid that she would die first after she married Mu Qing. She was even more afraid that if she had a child, the child would not live long after inheriting her illness.
Mu Qing knew what she was worried about. He held her hand and comforted her."Anan, don't be afraid. You see, everyone here is busy developing all kinds of new medicines. The diseases that couldn't be cured in the past might be cured in the future. I brought you here today to let you see with your own eyes that our research and development work has made great progress and success. Even if your illness relapses, I have a great deal of confidence that I can cure you. "
Zhao Anan had suffered a huge blow today. She was in a daze.
The illness that she had been worried about for so long, the illness that was so difficult to cure, could it really be cured?
She had a terminal illness!
What was a terminal illness? It was an illness that couldn't be cured!
When Mu Qing told her that her disease could be cured, she felt that she must be dreaming.
She was still suspicious. It was not because she did not believe in Mu Qing's medical skills, but because of the fear and helplessness she felt towards the disease.
Zhao Anan couldn't believe it completely, but she did have a glimmer of hope.
She finally understood why Mu Qing had brought her here and why he had said that she had to see it with her own eyes to believe that he was not lying to her.
She followed Mu Qing back to the car and hugged him.
"Mu Qi
ng, thank you!"
She buried her head in his chest and said in a very, very soft voice.
Mu Qing smiled and stroked her short hair."Do we need to be so polite? Saving you is the same as saving myself. Without you, what's the point of me living alone?"
Zhao Anan raised her head and looked into his eyes."No, even if I'm not here, you'll have to live well."
Mu Qing smiled and didn't continue the topic.
How could he not have her?
They would always be together. When the old man successfully cultivated the embryo, maybe they would be a complete family of three!
