Chapter 115 – Elder Brother…
Wang Rong Qian carefully read every word of the article, and finally took a look at the author. The name was an unfamiliar one, and he had no impression of it at all.
His heart was fluctuating. He planned to call his teacher back right away, but before pressing the call button, he stopped. He read the article once more. After calming down a little he dialed his teacher’s number.
“Teacher, I’ve finished reading.”
“What do you think?”
Wang Rong Qian took a deep breath, “I don’t see any mistakes.”
The old man raised his voice, “I wasn’t asking you to look for that! After I read the article this morning, I specifically looked into it and found out that the medicine mentioned in the paper exists. Also, it’s about to enter the clinical trial stage. I’m too old, so it’s inconvenient for me to go. You are an expert in this field, do you want to go?”

The clinical trial stage did indeed need medical experts to be in charge. Within the Yan City First Hospital, Wang Rong Qian was a master in this area. If he wanted to go, he would absolutely be qualified to participate.
Wang Rong Qian was pleasantly surprised: “Really? Then I will definitely go! Where did you get the news from?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” after a pause the old man said, “The medicine was developed by the Spring and Autumn Hall in Shan Quan County, Lin Nan Province. I reckon the clinical trial will be conducted by the Lin Nan Provincial Hospital. As for the details, you can figure that out for yourself.”
After he finished the call with his teacher, Wang Rong Qian thought about the matter for a while. Then he immediately contacted his good friend who worked in the Lin Nan Provincial Hospital. After some inquiry, he leared that the news was true, so he thickened his skin and asked, “I also want to participate, I wonder if I can…”
“That’s great!” His good friend laughed and said, “If you can come then that would wonderful. I didn’t think that you would know about this.”
Wang Rong Qian was surprised, “You don’t know?”
“Know what?”
Wang Rong Qian told him about the new issue of the journal, and his friend quickly ended the call to go read it.
It’s not that he didn’t care, but there were a lot of new drugs produced every year. They have done various clinical trials many times, and it has become commonplace, so when this new drug came along, they didn’t attach much significance to it.
But it was worth paying more attention to this drug if it was able to get into the “Life” journal.
The shock that these masters of the field were going through did not affect Duan Shu Tong’s simple life. He still worked assiduously everyday, and when he returned home he would video chat with a certain someone.
The man’s face occupied the phone screen. He still looked extremely handsome, just like always.

Duan Shu Tong was leaning back in bed after taking a shower. His face was still flushed from the hot shower, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with mist.
“Today’s Christmas Eve. Everyone is selling apples on the streets.” The young man rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“Christmas Eve?” Xi Duan looked a little confused. “People eat apples on Christmas Eve?”
“I don’t know either. I guess the homonym* is auspicious.” Duan Shu Tong smiled and slid down to lie flat on the bed. He raised one hand. “It’s just a way for the merchants to promote their products.”
[*T/N: In Chinese, Christmas Eve is 平安夜 (ping an ye) and apple is 苹果 (ping guo). The “ping” in both words have the same pronunciation but they’re written differently.]
Xi Duan’s gaze was gentle. “Go to sleep if you’re sleepy.”
Duan Shu Tong was indeed sleep, but he couldn’t bear to go to sleep. He wanted to talk to Xi Duan some more. Since the last time they met at the provincial capital, the two haven’t seen each other for many days.
Duan Shu Tong changed his position on the bed so that he was lying on his side. Half of his face was buried in the pillow. His wrist rested on one end of the pillow. His eyes were half-closed. It looked like he was going to fall asleep in the next second.
Xi Duan couldn’t help stretching out his hand to trace the contours of Duan Shu Tong’s face through the screen. He said, “You lost weight again?”

The last time they had met, Xi Duan found that the young man had lost some weight. All the experimenting for the new drug was probably too exhausting. And now, the young man seemed to be even thinner than the last time they had met.
Duan Shu Tong replied sleepily, “I didn’t. In fact, I got heavier. It’s probably a problem with the camera.”
Seeing that the young man looked like he really couldn’t stay awake any longer, Xi Duan said helplessly, “Go to bed. Good night.”
By that point, Duan Shu Tong was so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes. “Xi-ge, good night.”
On the other side of the screen, the man’s heart jumped. His voice lost his usual calmness. “What did you call me?”
Duan Shu Tong subconsciously said, “Ge…”
Immediately afterwards, he fell into the land of slumber. He didn’t even turn off the video chat. The phone slipped from his hand and plopped onto the bed, leaving only a black screen.
Xi Duan looked at the black screen. There was a hidden fervor in his eyes. He covered his mouth and chuckled with joy.
[T/N: In Chinese, calling someone “older brother” 哥 (ge) or 哥哥 (gege) can have the connotation of boyfriend. And calling someone “younger sister” 妹妹 (meimei) can have the connotation of girlfriend.]
Oh gosh that was so cute.
But why is the novel update page not up to date ? It still at chapter 96.
Thank you for the update.
I don’t go to the novelupdates page anymore, especially since they don’t link to individual chapters anymore, so I just leave it alone. 😅
Thank you for updating!!!!
