> Resumos de Fall In Love With A Scientist
Bai Lingling chatted online with "Forever is for Ever" about preparing for material biology experiments, specifically about bioreactors, which she felt was outside her materials science field. She was determined to be a competent lab assistant and needed to understand these things to avoid making mistakes.
Her online friend advised her that she was only responsible for logistics and auxiliary work, and that she should ask Yang Lanhang what she needed to do, emphasizing that scientific research is not an individual's battle and she should trust her partner. Discovering that Bai Lingling was still in contact with "Forever is for Ever" about lab matters, Guan Xiaoyu became agitated.
She called Zheng Minghao, urging him to hack the "Forever is for Ever" account, reminding him he developed the software. She then called Geng Panpan, instructing him to mobilize his contacts in the No.2 Canteen. The next morning, Bai Lingling stepped out to find Yang Lanhang's car parked outside. Believing they lived close by, she accepted a ride. During the drive, she returned the "bean seedling" hairpin, which she found cute.
Yang Lanhang refused to take it back, stating it was a gift for her. She then put the hairpin on her head, thanking him, and asked him about bioreactors. He patiently explained that a bioreactor provides necessary nutrients for cell cultivation. After the morning meeting, Yang Lanhang announced that they had secured seed cells and Ouyang Yifan had already designed the preliminary bioreactor. Their immediate tasks were to test, modify, and adjust materials based on new data.
Later, Zhai Qingyi casually remarked on the ugliness of Bai Lingling's hairpin. Bai Lingling immediately retorted, calling it "pretty," after which Yang Lanhang clenched his fist, causing Zhai Qingyi to flinch and retreat. During the experiment, when Cui Jing encountered a problem with no reaction, Bai Lingling explained that cells adhering to the wall required Pancreatin for digestion and separation.
She instructed them to wash the medium to prevent the enzyme reaction from stopping and then use a pipette after the cells separated. Everyone was impressed by her unexpected biological knowledge, and Yang Lanhang's emotion-sensing bracelet vibrated, making him secretly pleased. The experiment was successful. At the end of the day, Yang Lanhang announced a half-day rest for everyone.
Seeing Zheng Minghao arrive on his motorbike to pick up Bai Lingling, Yang Lanhang spontaneously suggested a celebratory group dinner, which he claimed was a "temporary victory." During the celebratory dinner, Yang Lanhang made a toast. Zhang Yian shared that Yang Lanhang had never attended, let alone organized, any social gatherings during his years in Europe, encouraging everyone to enjoy themselves as it was Yang's treat.
Zhai Qingyi then cryptically suggested that Yang Lanhang was breaking his own rules because of a "unique and important person" present. Yang Lanhang became nervous, initially thinking his feelings were exposed, but relaxed when Zhai Qingyi narcissistically claimed to be that special person. Yang Lanhang brushed off Zhai Qingyi's comment, reiterating that scientific research is a team effort and he could afford the meal. Zhang Yian further speculated that Yang Lanhang might have a girlfriend.
Zheng Minghao interjected with a snide remark, questioning if "anyone" could get a girlfriend these days, which Bai Lingling quickly tried to smooth over as a joke. Zheng Minghao persisted in voicing his dislike for Yang Lanhang. Yang Lanhang, excusing himself to the bathroom, secretly messaged Bai Lingling as "Forever is for Ever," admitting he liked a girl but she had many admirers, quickly adding it was a question for a friend.
Bai Lingling, though encouraging him to pursue his crush, became noticeably disheartened. Bai Lingling then announced to the group her decision to prepare for postgraduate entrance exams, stating she had always wanted to, and since her graduation was delayed, she thought she'd give it a try. Zheng Minghao, who had good news for her earlier, swallowed his words upon hearing this, vaguely mentioning that Dong Chao had found a girlfriend.
After dinner, Zheng Minghao and Yang Lanhang vied to take Bai Lingling home. Zheng Minghao stressed the dangers of a woman traveling alone at night, while Yang Lanhang argued that her home was on his way, and they could continue discussing bioreactors. Witnessing their escalating rivalry, Bai Lingling defused the situation by leaving with Cui Jing in a taxi.
Upon returning home, Guan Xiaoyu eagerly informed Bai Lingling that Zheng Minghao had submitted her resume to Zhenghong Group, and they were keen to interview her for immediate employment, even allowing her to defer her diploma. However, Bai Lingling, seemingly distracted, showed no enthusiasm, instead vaguely mentioning Dong Chao's girlfriend.
Concerned by Bai Lingling's odd and uninterested behavior, Guan Xiaoyu mistakenly concluded that Ouyang Yifan must have upset her with some revelation, silently confirming that her plan using the "No.2 Canteen" had worked. Meanwhile, Yang Lanhang arrived home to find Ouyang Yifan sitting forlornly on the floor, reeking of food. Ouyang Yifan complained he had spent an hour trying to fathom who would choose such an "out-of-date" online name as "Forever is for Ever."
Feeling guilty, Yang Lanhang immediately offered to help Ouyang Yifan take a bath, urgently asking him not to reveal to "that girl" that he was "Forever is for Ever," as their relationship had made no substantial progress. Despite initially grumbling about the online name, Ouyang Yifan reluctantly agreed to cover for Yang Lanhang, stating he would tell Bai Lingling that he had sold the account to a game forum and had no idea who the current user was.
After his bath, Ouyang Yifan watched as Yang Lanhang, with great enthusiasm, used data analysis to meticulously calculate the best and most efficient seating strategy for Bai Lingling in the postgraduate study room, set to open the next day. Yang Lanhang even considered the number of examinees versus available desks and ruled out noisy seats near the entrance. Ouyang Yifan found his dedication utterly ridiculous.
The next day after work, Yang Lanhang rushed to the study room to reserve a seat for Bai Lingling, having left a note that was later torn off by another student. Bai Lingling arrived later, telling Yang Lanhang she would go after finishing her work. She then took the seat Zheng Minghao had successfully reserved for her. She asked Zheng Minghao about the job he had previously mentioned.
Zheng Minghao admitted that the "good news" was indeed about the job at Zhenghong Group, but he had held back the information to avoid putting pressure on her and fully supported her decision to pursue postgraduate studies. He had reserved two seats for her, one for her to sit, and another, marked by a plush bear, for her belongings, before he left to buy food. Soon after Zheng Minghao departed, Yang Lanhang returned to the study room.
He convinced Bai Lingling that his calculated spot was the "best seat," and despite her skepticism about his "divination," she switched seats with him. Yang Lanhang then sat in the seat previously occupied by Zheng Minghao's plush bear, observing Bai Lingling as she studied. When Zheng Minghao returned with drinks, he was furious to find Yang Lanhang in his reserved seat, asserting that both seats were his.
Seeing the escalating tension, Bai Lingling began to pack her things, but Yang Lanhang directed Zheng Minghao to step outside. Outside, Zheng Minghao confronted Yang Lanhang, accusing him of causing Bai Lingling's graduation delay and questioning his right to interfere. Yang Lanhang provocatively countered that his relationship with Bai Lingling was "closer" than Zheng Minghao's. Enraged by the blatant taunt, Zheng Minghao punched Yang Lanhang in the mouth.
Bai Lingling, coming out of the study room, immediately demanded Zheng Minghao apologize to Yang. When Zheng Minghao refused, claiming Yang "deserved it," Bai Lingling offered to treat him to dinner if he apologized. He reluctantly mumbled "sorry" and then left with her. While they ate, Zheng Minghao expressed his concern for Bai Lingling, admitting he didn't want her to wake up early to reserve a study seat.
Bai Lingling thanked him, explaining her previous sleepless night was because the person she liked had feelings for someone else. She gently told him that she considered him a very good friend, but "only a friend," as her heart already belonged to someone. Undeterred, Zheng Minghao formally and passionately confessed his deep love for her, declaring he would regret it forever if he didn't voice his feelings.
Bai Lingling, though touched, reiterated that she could not reciprocate his feelings, openly sharing that her own sleepless night was caused by the pain of her crush liking someone else. She asserted that her love for him was her own matter, and just as she couldn't give up, she couldn't ask Zheng Minghao to give up either.
Zheng Minghao then accused her online friend of being a jerk, revealing he had traced the "Forever is for Ever" account on "Gate of Heart" to Ouyang Yifan, whom he characterized as a womanizer. He presented Ouyang Yifan's six years of online interaction without meeting her or adding her on WeChat as proof that she was merely "a little fish in his net" he casually flirted with. Bai Lingling vehemently rejected this, convinced there was a misunderstanding.
Zheng Minghao ended the conversation by stating that if she could so easily doubt the person she liked, she wouldn't be the Bai Lingling he admired. The next day, Guan Xiaoyu was furious upon learning that Zheng Minghao had revealed everything to Bai Lingling, accusing him of undermining their efforts to keep it a secret. Zheng Minghao defended his decision, arguing that Bai Lingling had a right to know and would have been hurt regardless.
He proposed inviting Ouyang Yifan for a "face-to-face confrontation," but Guan Xiaoyu refused, telling him to ask Ouyang himself since he knew him. Zheng Minghao reluctantly agreed to arrange the meeting. Meanwhile, Yang Lanhang returned home, where Ouyang Yifan was also present. His mother immediately noticed the injury on his mouth and became distraught, worried he had been in another fight and urging him to see Doctor Li, reminding him of a missed appointment.
Ouyang Yifan volunteered to accompany him to the doctor, promising his mother he would ensure Yang Lanhang was well cared for. Returning home, Bai Lingling was met by a flustered Guan Xiaoyu, who quickly confessed she hadn't known Ouyang Yifan, her boyfriend, was the one using the "Forever is for Ever" account and had ceased all contact with him after learning the truth, even refusing his flowers. Bai Lingling assured her she wasn't angry.
She then requested to see Ouyang Yifan's WeChat Moments. After comparing Ouyang Yifan's posting style with her backed-up chat history with "Forever is for Ever," Bai Lingling definitively concluded that they were not the same person. She pointed out that Ouyang Yifan habitually added emojis or symbols to his posts, a practice "Forever is for Ever" rarely engaged in. She reasoned that if her online friend was merely flirting, he wouldn't have spent six years maintaining the facade.
Conversely, if Ouyang Yifan were "Forever is for Ever," he wouldn't constantly expose his privacy on social media, as it would destroy any sense of mystique. Guan Xiaoyu, impressed by her deductive reasoning, jokingly called her "Sherlock Holmes." Guan Xiaoyu then questioned the "coincidence" of "Forever is for Ever" seemingly rejecting Bai Lingling right after her warning.
Bai Lingling clarified that "Forever is for Ever" hadn't actually rejected her; it was her own assumption based on his message about liking another girl. She reflected that she had no right to complain about his lack of understanding, having never expressed her feelings for six years.
Guan Xiaoyu, feeling for Zheng Minghao, urged Bai Lingling to consider the more tangible Zheng Minghao, describing him as a "real man" who could offer practical support like an umbrella on a rainy day or care when she was sick, unlike her distant online crush. She advised Bai Lingling not to be so resolute in her rejection of Zheng Minghao, suggesting she leave room for possibility.
Bai Lingling, however, firmly stated that if her desire was merely for companionship and practical help, she would have chosen Wang Tao long ago. She reiterated her unwavering love for "Forever is for Ever," stating that even if he did nothing, she would still love him, and would eventually take the leap for him. Guan Xiaoyu, recognizing her friend's conviction, ultimately offered her support.
