Chapter 166 She Was My Girlfriend
She carried her things to Cheng Jialu's research room, but she didn't finish Zhang Yuman's two sentences along the way.

Dr. Cheng's ex-girlfriend is sister Weiran?

Is it because Dr. Cheng helped me because I came from the same place as her?
In order to protect them, sister Wei Ran must have sacrificed something to exchange letters of report with Zhang Yuman?

Standing downstairs in the laboratory, Chen Can was stunned for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and plunged into the building.

Senior sister Ginny was a little surprised. She looked at Cheng Jialu who was observing the data in the next room, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here now?"

Chen Can explained a little out of breath: "I, I have something urgent... I want to find Dr. Cheng."

Ginny wanted to say something else, but Cheng Jialu had already raised his head and looked this way.

Chen Can hurriedly nodded to Ginny, walked quickly to Cheng Jialu, and looked at him nervously: "Dr. Cheng, I... I went to the mall to buy something for you today, I want to thank you …Thank you for helping me get into Columbia, and for helping me…”

"It's all a matter of little effort." Cheng Jialu said flatly, seeing that she had been holding the packing box, he took it casually, followed the American habit, opened it, looked at it, and said, "It looks very warm, thank you."

Chen Can looked at his nonchalant look, and for some reason a slight soreness flooded her chest, she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing her standing still, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I... I also met a woman in the mall. She recognized me, and she seems to know you. There is also a sister named Yan Weiran who came out of the same orphanage as me..."

Chen Can's words were a little incoherent, but Cheng Jialu finally had an expression on his face.When he heard the words "Yan Weiran", he put down the slide in his hand and asked, "Who is she and what did she say?"

"I don't know who she is...but she said that I revised my usual grades and almost got reported, and sister Weiran seemed to have exchanged something with her for us."

Cheng Jialu frowned slightly, and asked, "Is it a woman with curly hair and revealing clothes?"

Chen Can nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that's how it is."

"Her name is Zhang Yuman, she is the daughter of Teacher Weiran, and she has been chasing after a formula that her mother gave to Weiran before she died." Cheng Jialu saw that Chen Can was also confused, so he asked, "What's the matter with you modifying your usual grades?"

"That...was the last semester of senior high school." Chen Can wrung his fingers and said with difficulty, "During the last exam of the final exam, I received a call from my mother, saying that my dad was hospitalized with a sudden illness, so I gave up the exam. I went to the hospital, and the score was recorded as zero. Later, I chose to apply for Columbia University and went to school to get my usual grades. However, the teacher was worried that the zero score would affect the application, so he changed it to the exam score for me, and stamped it directly. ..."

"Actually, this zero score, since you have a special situation, it shouldn't have much impact after you explain it. But your behavior of modifying your grades without authorization will be judged as fraud and affect your personal credit. If it is exposed , will have a great impact on you." Cheng Jialu said, after thinking for a while, he said, "I know about this matter, I will communicate with Unran, and after clarifying the matter, see if it will have a follow-up impact on you .You don’t want to say anything, just pretend it’s not the case.”

"Okay, then..." This rare opportunity made Chen Can want to ask about him and Yan Weiran.

Cheng Jialu slightly raised his eyes to look at her with questioning eyes.

The idol she admired was so close at hand, looking at her with such eyes made Chen Can feel at a loss for a while, but took a step back in nervousness, shrinking his body as if he was afraid to accept the direct sunlight.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her body, a bottle of reagents on the table was hit by the scarf box pushed over, and it was knocked over in the box.

The scarf that hadn't had time to be taken out of the box was immediately corroded with a large scorched yellow hole.

Chen Can let out an "ah", looked at the rapidly expanding hole, quickly picked up the scarf, ran to the faucet, and rinsed it under running water.

Although the reagent was washed away immediately, a hole the size of an egg appeared on the wet scarf.

Chen Can was stunned.And Cheng Jialu didn't say anything, just handed her the box of the scarf and said, "I have received your wish, thank you."

"Then...then I'll take it away. When I go home for the New Year, I'll take it back and darn it..." Chen Can took the box back sadly and timidly, not caring that the water was still dripping from the gap in the box, and held it in his arms He whispered, "There is a shop next to my house, which specializes in darning. You can mend cotton, wool, silk and linen..."

She turned around in shame and wanted to run away, but Cheng Jialu stopped her and asked, "Can you darn anything? Where's the sweater?"

Chen Can nodded quickly and said, "Sweaters are the best mends, they can be mended exactly the same, and it's easier than this cashmere scarf."

Cheng Jialu said: "Then give me the address of that store. Undyed gave me a woolen vest before, but I accidentally damaged it in the laboratory."

Chen Can opened his mouth, looked at him blankly, and asked in a daze, "Sister Weiran, she... and you..."

Cheng Jialu nodded, with a calm and sentimental expression on his face: "She used to be, my girlfriend."

Cheng Jialu did not tell Chen Can the story of him and Unran in detail.This is a long and precious memory that belongs to him, and he does not intend to share it with anyone.

After dismissing Chen Can, he continued to do his own experiments in the laboratory, meticulously, as if he had no other intentions.

It was getting late, and everyone else in the laboratory left work one after another.

He finished his work for the day, took off his gloves and clothes, washed his hands and dried them.

After locking the door of the laboratory, he walked out of the building and walked back and forth along the path that he and Weiran had walked countless times.

The sky had turned a brilliant purple, and now he was alone admiring New York at dusk.

He took out the phone and looked at the undyed number on it.

It's past six in the morning domestically.If you contact Unran, isn't it too early?

And, nothing important.After all, he had already guessed what Weiran exchanged with Zhang Yuman - of course the formula.

It's just that he never thought that the reason why Weiran gave it to Zhang Yuman was to protect himself and Chen Can.

Cheng Jialu lowered his head, frowning silently and smiling, not knowing whether to be happy or regretful.

Happily, he is still the person she values ​​most; unfortunately, he is only one of her values.

He was holding the phone, and when he was in a daze, the phone rang suddenly.

The caller is Wei Zexi.

He stared at the word "A Ze" for a long time, then picked it up, and asked, "Is it past six o'clock in the morning in China?"

"Yes, but I'm not in China." Wei Zexi's always energetic voice came, so that he on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to see his full of vitality, "Just got off the plane, our Siran's first This product is about to go on the market, and I plan to prepare a case here in the United States, and send the formula ingredients to the authoritative testing agency for verification according to the standards here, after all, we must prepare in advance for the future sale of Siran in Europe and the United States.”

Cheng Jialu asked: "According to your previous style, isn't this kind of thing handed over to the people below?"

"Siran is different. This is my own, so I feel more at ease running by myself." Wei Zexi said briskly, "So I'm free at night, do you want to make an appointment?"

"Okay." He answered bluntly, which surprised Wei Zexi, who didn't answer in time. "Just so, I have something to confirm with you, about...the undyed formula."

Wei Zexi paused and asked, "Well, you know?"

"Yeah." He only responded once.

"The old place, don't let you, a busy person, go too far."
