Chapter 371: You get more excited the more I shout

In the private room, Zhao Shengwen didn't talk nonsense anymore and said directly: "Alright, I won't say any more nonsense. Anyway, today, don't save money for me. Eat what you want, drink what you want, order the expensive stuff!"

Everyone wasn't restrained and started eating and drinking.

"Professor Zhao, I toast you. Thank you for your guidance over these three years."

After eating for a while, Wang Wei held up his wine glass to toast Zhao Shengwen.

Actually, they didn't have a drinking culture of toasting at their usual gatherings, but today was different—a farewell party.

Zhao Shengwen also said: "Xiao Wei, I also thank you. You've shared a lot of work these past few years."

Xu Qingzhou understood that Wang Wei was probably leaving the project group.

The two drank a few glasses, and Zhao Shengwen's gaze looked at Xu Qingzhou again, saying with a smile: "Qingzhou, you deserve a lot of credit for being able to finish this experiment so quickly."

Xu Qingzhou picked up his wine glass: "You're too polite. I still have to thank you for giving me so many materials on batteries. Professor, I toast you with this glass."

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the private room was even better than before.

Just like last time, after eating to the end, Professor Zhao left first, leaving the private room to the young people.

"Brother Wei, when you have time later, come back and see us more." Gong Yunfei held his wine glass.

Wang Wei narrowed his eyes and clinked glasses with him: "Old Gong, rest assured, I won't forget you."

Xu Qingzhou looked at the two's affectionate appearance and shuddered. Fortunately, neither of them was from Rongcheng, otherwise, he would definitely suspect if they were playing for real.

"Wait, almost forgot Junior Brother Xu." Gong Yunfei slapped his forehead.

Xu Qingzhou was helpless and picked up his wine glass to drink with the two senior brothers.

On one side, Hong Yayu was drinking fruit juice. No way, others weren't sure, but Gong Yunfei would definitely drink until he fell, so someone had to take care of him.

Wang Wei planned to go to other laboratories to see, while Hong Yayu planned to stay in the group first.

Xu Qingzhou could completely understand everyone's choices. Generally speaking, unless the mentor is a "giant," one generally doesn't do a postdoc in their own group.

Just from an academic perspective, changing places provides different horizons and new connections.

From a life perspective, doing a postdoc in the same group is completely a lengthened version of a PhD.

Moreover, even if the mentor is really a "giant," an Academician, actually, the ones who can be carefully raised are only a few direct descendants. For example, under Chu Jiangfeng's hands, only Wang Wang Shixiong Yang Yongze followed.

Other students brought along are just doing lengthened versions of postdocs round after round.

Moreover, more importantly, the logic of most "giants" cultivating direct descendants isn't to tie them by their side for a lifetime, but to let them go out and break through on their own, and then recycle those who survive.

Many "giants" hope their students go to different countries, different regions, and different teams to train.

Exchanges have a great impact on academic research.

Therefore, many people run away after graduating with a PhD. Even if the project is halfway done, they are like Wang Wei, staying to finish it before leaving. After all, normal people don't want to see the things they've worked on for a year or two become wedding dresses for others.

If a student wants to leave, the mentor will generally let them go. A twisted melon isn't sweet. Besides, sending away a student also means there will be one more connection in the future.

As for the student, the mentor is the thickest leg they can rely on in the academic circle, and they won't make the relationship with the mentor stiff. Even if they want to leave, they will try their best to finish the work at hand.

9:30 PM.

Xu Qingzhou was just about to knock on the door when the door was pulled open, and Song Yao appeared at the door.

Song Yao helped her boyfriend into the room: "Didn't I say I'd go down to pick you up? Why did you come up yourself?"

The two sat on the sofa.

"Wang Wang Shixiong Gong is going to vomit, that driver drove very fast."

Xu Qingzhou leaned on the sofa and rubbed his temples. Although he had already restrained himself, under the care of the two senior brothers, he had drunk at least a jin (500g).

Song Yao sniffed the strong smell of alcohol on her boyfriend and asked with concern: "Then... are you okay?"

"Completely fine, I could even drink a few more rounds." Xu Qingzhou shook his head.

"Really okay?"

"Yeah, okay."

"How many is this?" Song Yao extended three fingers.

"..."

"How many."

"Three." Xu Qingzhou opened his arms to hug Song Yao, but was blocked by her.

Seeing that he was indeed very clear-headed, Song Yao felt relieved and said with a disgusted expression: "Then hurry up and take a shower, you stink."

Xu Qingzhou nodded, humming a little tune, and took the clothes to change.

15 minutes.

Xu Qingzhou came out wearing only his boxers.

"Put on your clothes." Song Yao brought him his pajamas. Xu Qingzhou's hand brushed past the pajamas, landed on Song Yao's slender waist, and took the opportunity to push her against the wall on the side—the place where he was first "wall-pinned" by the School Beauty Song.

Song Yao was wearing that blue and white pajama set today, wearing a hat, furry, making people want to pinch it hard.

"You..."

Song Yao moved uneasily; Xu Qingzhou's eyes were very aggressive.

Xu Qingzhou's gaze was burning, he didn't speak, and lowered his head to kiss her.

After a long while.

Two heavy gasps sounded in the room.

Song Yao's eyes were moist, staring at Xu Qingzhou, her voice soft and glutinous: "Xu Qingzhou~"

Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, pinned Song Yao against the wall, pinched her chin, and looked down from above: "Little beauty, you have to play something exciting with big brother tonight."

"..."

Song Yao sobered up, her "Qilin arm" couldn't hold back. This guy's dog guts were quite big, huh? Really treating himself as a big brother?

"I'll wait for you in bed."

【In one look...】

After teasing Song Yao, Xu Qingzhou turned around and returned to the bedroom.

Song Yao glared angrily, picked up the pajamas, threw them on the sofa on the side, and threw the clothes this guy changed out of into the dirty clothes basket, preparing to wash them tomorrow.

"Teacher Song, you can come and serve in bed."

Someone's cheap voice came from the bedroom.

"Serve your head." Song Yao cursed in a low voice.

5 minutes passed.

Song Yao tidied up the living room and walked in wearing slippers.

Then she found that the boy who was just shouting to serve in bed was already fast asleep.

"Xu Qingzhou."

The School Beauty Song climbed onto the bed and reached out to rub her boyfriend's face, but Xu Qingzhou had no reaction at all, sleeping very soundly.

Consequently, she could vaguely hear her "humph" in a low voice, and she turned off the light with a "pop."

Soon, there was a rustling sound in the bedroom again. Song Yao turned over, pulled Xu Qingzhou's hand to hug her waist, arched in his arms, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

The next day.

When Song Yao woke up, it was 8:30 AM. At this time, she was arched and leaning in Xu Qingzhou's arms, her back against his chest, and was also aimed at by a loaded gun.

Xu Qingzhou's voice came from her ear: "Awake?"

"Yeah."

Song Yao nodded coldly, preparing to pry open Xu Qingzhou's hand: "I want to get up."

"Today is Saturday, sleep a bit more."

Saturday, Song Yao had a half-day holiday and only went to law class in the afternoon.

However, Xu Qingzhou felt there was something strange. This early in the morning, where did this girl get such great resentment?

Song Yao turned around, looked back at Xu Qingzhou, and said unhappily: "Is everyone like you, like a pig, wanting to sleep every day?"

The School Beauty Song's tone was even more resentful.

This made Xu Qingzhou understand a bit. It was estimated that after the School Beauty Song finished tidying up things last night, she entered the room full of excitement, only to find that he had already fallen asleep.

Song Yao was still sulking, patted the claws tightly hugging her chest: "Get off."

"Sorry, I was wrong. Next time I definitely won't drink so much alcohol." Xu Qingzhou hugged tighter and sniffed at Song Yao's neck.

"Are you a dog?"

Xu Qingzhou's hot breath was on the skin of her neck, making Song Yao's hair stand up: "I want to get up."

If an apology were useful, what would the police do? Song Yao felt it necessary to let Xu Qingzhou learn a lesson—hold it in for me.

Xu Qingzhou still hugged very tightly.

"Xu Qingzhou!" Song Yao decided to use three words to shock Xu Qingzhou.

"Alright..."

Creak~

In the bedroom, Xu Qingzhou had already turned over and pressed onto Song Yao.

"You get down." Song Yao's eyes glared, her body twisted, wanting to break free from Xu Qingzhou's restraint.

"Hehe, you just shout. The louder you shout, the more excited I get." Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. The bow was already drawn, how could there be a turning arrow?

"Xu Qingzhou, I'll count to 3. 1, 2, 3, Woo~"
