Twenty-six-year-old Zhou Boya was forced to stay in school to teach, and met Ji He, a 24-year-old chemistry genius who had already graduated with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. He was supposed to be a teacher and student, but Ji He always broke into her office alone late at night, exchanging a bottle of reagent for solitude, and exchanging a good night for an experimental question. Across the lab coat and goggles, ambiguity quietly grows among the molecular formulas. On the day when Zhou Boya finally got the coveted postdoctoral recommendation letter, Ji He mistakenly thought she was going to run away and sneered and tore up the application. Five years later, at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Zhou Boya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to adjust the spectrometer, and familiar footsteps came from behind - "Teacher Zhou, we still need a partner for this project."
Purpose: Salute everyone who works hard
