The master said to Lin Yue, you will meet many lovers in this life.
Really.
The first time was with high school classmate Ren Miao.
He was number one in his grade and always had a cold face, but he secretly helped Lin Yue adjust the focus of the microscope in biology class. Before the college entrance examination, he put a note in her textbook that said, "The gap between cell divisions is the longest, but I still can't wait for you to look back." Later, Lin Yue learned that his WeChat name was "임림", which is the Korean version of her name. But by then, he was already with his colleagues.
The second time was with fellow doctor Yang Cheng.
He stayed with her through countless nights when experiments failed. When the Western blot strips ran crooked, he silently reworked them. When the paper was rejected, he helped her revise it word for word. For ten years, he hid all his thoughts and only sent her an electrophoresis picture on her birthday with a strip that spelled out "come on". Finally, on his wedding day, Lin Yue was in the laboratory staring at the centrifuge, only to realize that he had never been moved by him.
The third time was Chu Zheng.
He is a junior brother and a colleague. The first time he met her, he knocked over a row of EP tubes and said with a blushing face: "Senior sister, I may have fallen in love with you at first sight." Later, he always appeared "just" when she needed it - there was a shortage of reagents, and he "happened" to get more; when there was a problem with the data, he "randomly" wrote an analysis script. Until one day, Lin Yue discovered that his computer screensaver was the electrophoresis diagram in her thesis, with the label: "This is my heartbeat frequency."
The centrifuge was still spinning, but this time, she finally heard the sound of resonance.
