After realizing that this boy was "cheated" by her own daughter, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong's opinion of Anton became much less severe, but she felt that Qi Min's preferences had really changed a lot. In the past, such an outstanding boy as Qin Zhenjun thought she was worthless, so she decided to find a really worthless boy so that they would have no reason to dislike her.

But that’s fine too. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong thought that now that her daughter had an experimental accident and had to undergo chemotherapy and recuperate at home, it was a good thing that her boyfriend could take care of her and not force her to return to work as soon as possible.

People who worked in state-owned enterprises in Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong's time had much less work pressure when they were young than they do now, and they didn't feel the need to work too hard. Anyway, as long as her daughter is happy, that's it. As for how much money she can earn, since they still have the couple to support her, it's not that important.

Anton made apple juice, washed a glass first, and poured a glass for Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong: "Mom, do you want juice?"

Only then did Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong realize that this boy actually called her "Mom." This was so familiar that she couldn't help but want to laugh. But since it was her daughter who tricked her into coming back, and she planned to stay in Beijing permanently in the future, let's just call her that.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong accepted the juice handed over by Anton, which was a sign of accepting him as her daughter's boyfriend. However, before she could think of how to say polite words appropriately, Anton turned around and walked out of the kitchen with the squeezed apple juice.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was left on the spot and couldn't help but curse: This child... why is he so stupid?

Qi Min drank the apple juice made by Anton and commented: "Oh, this apple juice is a bit sour and doesn't taste too fresh. It smells like a refrigerator."

When Anton is at home, he buys the ingredients for the day, and the unused ones have to be processed into an easy-to-preserve form that night. This kind of thing usually doesn't happen. This was also a requirement of high-end Chinese restaurants in the past. However, since the Chinese restaurant changed its owner and switched to fast food, there are not so many requirements for fresh ingredients.

"Is there a supermarket nearby?" Anton asked, "How about I buy some?"

"No need." Qi Min said quickly. If there were still apples at home, how could she let Anton buy new apples at will? It seemed like he was so spoiled that he couldn't even eat an ordinary apple.

"By the way," she suddenly remembered something, "I have to find a time to meet with Researcher Zhou Xiaoshan tomorrow. You should pick up Mimi at that time."

"Are you... okay?" Anton muttered suspiciously. Qi Min is still the same as he was when he was first born with a brain-like body. It has been two full days and he has not recovered much. Only his language function has been completely restored. This made him doubt whether Qi Min could return to walking normally tomorrow.

"It's okay, I can do it." Qi Min rubbed his face, "And no matter what, I have to go see Mimi."

"Are you going to tell your parents about Mimi?" Anton asked.

This question was a bit sharp. Qi Min whispered awkwardly: "Isn't that... I'm afraid they will be irritated."

"What's so exciting about this? You're really weird. Have you never mentioned Mimi to anyone before?" Anton asked a little dissatisfied.

Qi Min also knew that this was not normal. But she doesn't lose her conscience, she just wants to avoid this conflict of values.

"Oh, that's it. This matter is a done deal anyway. I'll go find Researcher Zhou Xiaoshan tomorrow. You go and bring Mimi here." She thought of something and added, "By the way, you You have to be careful. My parents must understand that Mimi is not their biological granddaughter, but when you want to explain what is going on, you have to avoid your daughter."

"Of course I understand this." Anton responded.

In short, it is very important not to let Mimi know that she picked it up. If necessary, Qi Min even felt that her daughter did not need to know the truth in her life. But she also knew that this matter could not be hidden from Mimi her whole life. When she went to elementary school and learned about blood types, she would find out that it was theoretically impossible for her parents, two people with type O blood, to give birth to her type AB.

Probably because he drank juice, Qi Min didn't eat much for dinner that day, and he didn't even take a few sips of porridge. Her digestive function recovered rather slowly, but the energy expenditure of normal activities caused blood sugar fluctuations, which still caused her to wake up in the middle of the night feeling hungry again.

Anton was woken up and forced to find sugar water for Qi Min to drink. However, using the juicer in the middle of the night affected the old couple's rest. Fortunately, there was canned honey grapefruit tea on the table. He made a cup for Qi Min to drink, which allowed her blood sugar to rise again.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Anton looked at her mournful look wearing a hat and sighed with pity and worry.

"Why are you sighing? I'm not really undergoing chemotherapy." Qi Min said helplessly, "'If you don't get into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.' Compared to the big things I have done, these little sequelae are nothing. "

"What kind of 'master' are you?" Anton said to her, "Then why are you working so hard? Tell me, the two accidents happened because you over-struggled."

"Oh, how can it be possible if I don't work hard?" Qi Min couldn't help complaining, "If I just get a basic salary, how can I support Mimi? If I don't get TENURE, how about we go to the northwest to drink?"

"Well, what about that?" Anton ended the debate on whether to "struggle" with these words.

Similar arguments had occurred before, but at that time Anton was making money delivering food (Qi Min’s doctoral student salary was fixed, and there was no performance or overtime pay). Qi Min persuaded him to work hard and earn overtime pay. Now she thought that Anton would persuade her to work hard to publish articles, but he felt that Qi Min didn't need to work so hard.

In fact, it makes sense, Qi Min thought silently, why work so hard? This is all metaphysics. Reincarnation is the most important "craft". In modern capitalist society, if the reincarnation is not done well, it will be useless to make up for it the day after tomorrow. Luck is the same. If you are not lucky, even if you are 127 (12 hours a day and 7 days a week), you will not get results. But as long as you are lucky, even if there is an experimental accident, it will become an important progress. It’s really metaphysical.

Qi Min lay down again, and Anton also returned to the bed. After a while, she thought Anton had fallen asleep again, but she heard him whisper beside her: "What's the use of TENURE and the like? The most important thing is that you are a good person."

What he said was a bit unfounded, but after hearing this, Qi Min unexpectedly became quiet.

She remembered what she had told Zhang Songxue before. She did not dare to let unrelated people decide her own destiny without establishing a marriage relationship. But she could actually trust Anton—he was one of those rare people who was very clear about the choice between money and life.

Of course, Qi Min is also glad that she is still a little "unclear", otherwise she would not have the chance to develop such a big thing as a brain-like body.
