[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 23]

Get some sleep after drinking this.

What about you?

You haven't been back for days.

I'll help tidy up your place a bit.

[Quantum Entanglement] [Parallel Universes]

Hello?

Can't find something?

I can come over right away. I'm...

You're amazing.

My draft paper for calculating

plasma turbulence,

the one with the diagram

drawn in green pen on the back,

you actually put it

with last week's differential geometry notes.

Your idea was spot on.

Also, how did you think of putting

Turing's biography and Fermat's Last Theorem together?

Your logic is so clear.

It's much easier to find than when I put them away myself.

I'll never have to worry about losing things again.

I...

Jiang Yubai,

I think you're a genius at organizing.

Gosh,

this talent of yours is so worth developing.

I just put them there randomly.

As long as it's convenient for you.

It is, very convenient.

Are you home?

I...

Yes, I'm home.

Good.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Duan.

Agent Tang, you're finally here.

It's really hard to get a meeting with you.

Your favorites,

I ordered them all for you.

Go ahead and eat.

Mr. Duan, you're really spending today.

Isn't

this very normal?

Why do I feel like

you're not here to eat,

but to vent?

Spit it out. What is it?

What do I have to rant about?

My mood

is as beautiful as the weather today.

I just suddenly wanted to have a few drinks with you.

Come on.

All right.

Whoever stops drinking first today is a coward.

That's the Tang I know.

Come on.

Wait.

What?

Get in the frame.

Okay.

Do I look handsome?

Yes.

[Photos and Videos]

[Tang]

[Post]

Thank you, Mr. Duan, for the great treat.

Let's drink.

Cheers.

Bottoms up.

You really are a tough guy.

No warm-up at all.

I'll join you.

Let's eat.

What is it? Tell me.

Why can't I just have

some good food and drinks with you

to strengthen our revolutionary friendship?

Oh, come on.

You've been in business for so long. Surely you've made new friends.

You look like you're drinking your sorrows away in dreary weather.

No.

I just knew you were craving hotpot,

so I found a good restaurant to share with you.

Wait a minute.

Hello, Su Mo.

What's wrong? Aren't you at an audition?

Tingting, it was supposed to be my turn,

but Mr. Yang brought a few more people over.

The casting director told me to wait here.

It's been quite a while.

What should I do?

What happened?

Didn't you ask the people there?

I asked.

But they didn't give me a clear answer.

Should I wait here

or go in and ask?

I'm coming over now.

Leave it to me.

Sorry, Duan.

I have an emergency and need to go.

It's your Su Mo again, isn't it?

Why is he acting like a three-year-old

and coming to you for everything?

No.

He's at an audition,

and they're keeping him waiting for a long time.

Where's your professionalism?

He's asking others for a favor,

so waiting is to be expected.

If he can't even stand this

and calls for backup to play the victim,

wouldn't that just make them dislike him more?

It's not easy for him to get an opportunity.

We can't just hand it over to someone else.

Besides, this is my job.

I have to deal with it.

That is what you call professionalism.

I'm leaving.

I'm confiscating these two bottles of liquor

so you don't drink yourself into a stupor.

Fine.

Tang Tingting, you are really something.

I've handled it.

We should drink our liquor together.

Fill it up.

You're here.

I came to see you,

and to bring you a toy.

A binary star system model?

Did you make it?

It's so beautiful.

Do you like it?

It must have a lot of mechanisms.

You put the emerald here?

It's so pretty.

It looks like an emerald.

Any stone in your hands

would become a gem.

It must've been polished over time

to have such a perfect shape.

For you.

Why give it to me?

Because I want to.

It's so beautiful.

It's like the center of a binary star system.

Why don't you take a break from studying this?

You can do it another day.

Um...

You haven't tasted my cooking yet, right?

I've had the vegetables you prepared.

That's perfect.

I must show you my skills.

So...

How about radish and beef brisket stew?

You can also think about

what you want to eat for the week ahead.

No need to go through all that trouble.

Cooking takes a long time.

We can just order takeout.

Takeout isn't as hygienic as home-cooked food.

Let me do it.

Then what should I do?

Just find something to do.

I'll go buy groceries first.

What's up? Hungry?

No.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Does it still hurt?

Your leg isn't healed yet.

Don't wander around. Go back and sit down.

Wait for me a bit longer.

It'll be ready soon.

Why did you put the vegetables in after turning off the heat?

Well, you have to

let it simmer with the heat off for a while.

This is my secret recipe.

It tastes good only when simmered this way.

What's wrong?

I'm hungry.

Hungry?

It's almost done.

Let's eat.

Food is ready.

It smells so good.

It looks delicious.

And it's my first time seeing two kinds

of radishes in this dish.

One is white radish,

and the other is carrot...

shreds.

That's my secret recipe.

Try it.

I know.

You must have done it on purpose.

I saw you turn the heat down really low just now.

You definitely wanted me to taste it when I'm the hungriest

to enjoy your secret recipe.

That's right.

You have to turn off the heat and

let it simmer

to make it taste good.

Is it good?

It's so delicious.

I'll try the beef.

It's been stewed until it's so tender.

That puzzle of yours

is quite difficult, isn't it?

It is quite hard.

Why don't you help me with it

after we finish eating?

Okay.

So good.

You must be sleepy.

No, I'm not.

Then

I'll head back first.

Thank you for today.

You stayed so late cooking for me.

It's nothing.

How are you getting back?

It's so late.

The buses have probably stopped running.

I'll just take a taxi.

That's too expensive.

I mean,

why don't you stay here tonight?

That wouldn't be appropriate.

Your brother will scold me again if he finds out.

Just don't let him know.

I'm mainly worried it's unsafe for you to go home alone.

I'll get you a blanket so you can

sleep on the floor here. How about that?

[Hematology Department]

Zeqiu, what brings you here?

I came to process Lin Zhixia's discharge

and have a chat with you.

You could've just called me to do it.

There was no need to make a special trip.

Her hospitalization has already troubled you a lot.

I won't bother you

with something so trivial.

Don't be a stranger.

We are all friends.

How is Zhixia recovering?

Pretty well. She's recovering nicely.

Her leg still needs rest.

Don't rush to walk.

Avoid secondary injury.

I'll remind her later.

You've been working hard too.

You had to work

and take care of a patient.

It's not hard.

I've just been a bit busy lately.

At the hospital, I have your help.

As for Lin Zhixia,

she has Jiang Yubai taking care of her.

How are the two PhDs I found for Zhixia last time?

If they're no good,

I can ask my mom to find someone else.

I understand what you mean.

But above all,

Lin Zhixia said she doesn't need them.

She can handle it herself.

Doesn't she lack manpower and resources?

These two people

should be of great help.

That's what I thought too.

I asked both you and Jiang Yubai about this.

I thought your method

was more effective

and reliable.

But maybe Jiang Yubai

understands Lin Zhixia better.

What did he say?

He said Lin Zhixia doesn't need help,

and she can do it on her own.

I don't get it at all.

Get back to work. I'm leaving.

Of course it exists.

The core parameters of the Drake equation

mostly rely on subjective estimation.

Even if we take relatively

conservative values ​​ for these parameters,

some calculation results still indicate

that there are

thousands of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way.

Equations are equations,

and evidence is evidence.

If there are so many extraterrestrial civilizations,

where are they?

We haven't even found solid evidence

of a single alien bacterium yet.

Maybe the technological gap is too huge,

just like how ants can't understand

human radio waves,

Alternatively, their life forms may be completely different

and unidentifiable to us.

Or maybe the Great Silence itself is a signal.

An unprovable conjecture is science fiction,

not science.

The spirit of science lies in exploring the unknown.

Project Ozma,

a "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" project,

is exactly using scientific methods to find evidence.

You can't assert that they don't exist

just because we haven't found them yet.

Okay.

Okay, I lose.

It's mainly because I also truly believe that aliens exist.

Alas, I drew the opposition.

Giving up already?

Let's play a little longer.

The winner is decided.

I'm going to sleep.

Let's play a little longer.

I'm going to sleep.

Play with me a little longer.

It's time to sleep.

Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai!

Jiang Yubai, wake up.

Jiang Yubai,

stop pretending to be asleep.

Jiang Yubai, wake up.

Wake up...

Are you hurt?

No.

Let me help you up.

I'll...

Have some water.

Dr. Shen.

What's with the brooding handsome guy act here?

Why are you here?

It's too stuffy inside.

Look at you.

You look more like a patient

than those of us undergoing chemo.

Could it be...

A breakup?

Not exactly.

It's just...

A friend of mine.

He likes a girl,

but she seems to

already have feelings for someone else.

He's wondering

if he should let go.

You healthy people

really have nothing better to do.

Here I am,

wondering every day how to survive the next treatment cycle

and whether I'll live to see tomorrow.

As for you,

you are perfectly fine

and have plenty of time.

You can love many people,

eat many meals,

and make many friends.

Just because someone doesn't like you,

you're moping around here.

What do you have to be unhappy about?

What you have is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Besides,

even if you can't be lovers,

you can still be friends or family.

There's no need to act like it's the end of the world.

Get over it soon, Dr. Shen.

Don't waste your energy.

I'm still counting on you

to treat me in high spirits.

[Class Break]

[Class Break]

Everyone.

[Class Break]

Are you guys free this weekend evening?

It's been a long time since our last gathering.

My treat.

Let's hang out.

Am I seeing things?

Dr. Shen is actually organizing a gathering?

What a rare sight.

Plus one. The sun is rising from the west.

Did something trigger you, Dr. Shen?

Shen Fuxuan, are you finally done with work?

Yes.

Bad timing, bro.

I have to oversee an offline promotion this weekend.

I can't get away.

One of my artists has a sudden schedule... I'm so miserable.

I'm free.

But...

I can't go out with my injury.

Me too. I still have a few orders to finish.

It's okay. Let's meet next time.

Wait.

We might be absent, but the drinks shouldn't be.

Since you asked,

we can't just let it go.

Let's hang out online right now.

Your treat. Have food and drinks delivered

to everyone.

We'll drink together on a video call!

I don't mind.

I agree. Dr. Shen's treat.

Thank you, Dr. Shen.

By the way, order strawberry milk for Lin Zhixia.

You don't need to remind me.

Alright, online hangout it is.

Send me what you want to eat, and I'll order for us.

Strawberry milk.

Everyone is here.

Long time no see.

Let me say a few words first.

Here,

let us first celebrate

the success of Mr. Shen's

first-ever hangout organization.

Although this method is a bit cyberpunk,

it doesn't matter.

Come on, let's make a toast, shall we?

Cheers.

Cheers.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Shen Fuxuan,

let me toast you individually.

Thank you, Dr. Shen,

for taking care of me during my hospitalization.

Cheers.

But I can only drink milk.

You don't have to drink the whole glass.

Dr. Shen, you're such a good drinker.

Zhixia really has some pull.

Don't let me drink alone.

Let's all toast together.

We shouldn't just drink.

Let's play a game.

Does Mr. Duan have any brilliant ideas?

You guys play. I'll just watch.

Come on, let's play...

Fifteen Twenty.

The two of us can start first.

Bring it on. I'll bet 100 cups.

Come on.

15, 20, 10.

15, 20, 15.

Drink.

Hurry up and drink now.

-15, 20, 10. -15, 20, 15.

-15, 20, 20. -15, 20, 5.

Drink up.

You've got some skills.

15, 20, 5.

15, 20, 10.

You lost again.

Bottoms up.

Rock, paper, scissors.

It's okay.

Go, Jiang.

Again.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

You are no good either. Drink.

Jiang is no good.

Zhixia, it's all up to you.

I only know how to play rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors is fine.

Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

Beautiful.

I lost.

Zhixia, it has to be you.

Bottoms up for me.

Duan Qiyan, are you drunk?

Hello, Zhou.

Shen Fuxuan,

regarding the matter you asked me to look into,

there is some progress.

Our college does have a cutting-edge

gene-editing research project on blood disorders.

Recently,

it just received ethical approval.

They are searching globally

for rare cases with high compatibility.

The case you sent me a while ago

is quite a good match.

Really?

But I have to be upfront.

This treatment is too new,

and the risk is extremely high.

The current estimated survival rate

is only about 10 to 20 percent.

Frankly speaking, it's a huge gamble.

10 to 20 percent?

Yes, and that's the best-case scenario.

Dr. Shen,

Shui's preliminary evaluation results are out.

Things are not looking great.

The bone marrow aspiration results show

that her response to the first-line intensive regimen

is very poor.

The tumor burden didn't decrease as expected,

and some indicators even went up.

The director just reviewed it.

He said that

in the short term,

we're out of effective standard treatment

options.

Zhou,

please send all relevant materials,

detailed project data, potential risks,

and all data on the success rates,

to me in the most detailed

and unvarnished version.

I will evaluate them carefully.

Okay.

Hello?

Listen to me first.

It's an emergency.

My parents are making a surprise visit.

They said they're almost downstairs

and will be coming up soon.

Don't panic.

I'll be right back.

Help me ask for leave.

Sure thing.

Dad, Mom.

This is Lin Zeqiu.

Hello, Sir and Ma'am.

Come in and have a seat.

Dad, you...

Mom, that's the bedroom over there.

Would you like some water, Sir?

Sir,

Ma'am,

please have a glass of water.

What is the relationship between you two now?

Sir, we...

This is my boyfriend.

We live together now.

Jin Baihui.

How can you say that?

Is this the result of your years of studying

and education?

Let's go. We'll talk at home.

I'm not leaving.

Hurry up and let's go. We'll talk when we get back.

If you have something to say, say it here.

I don't want to scold you in front of an outsider.

Lin Zeqiu is not an outsider.

You can say whatever you want.

You think you're all grown up now?

My words don't mean anything to you anymore?

Fine.

Then let me ask you this.

You just moved in with him

without a proper status?

Where is your upbringing?

You rented this place, didn't you?

And it's in such a remote place.

What kind of life can you give her?

What kind of life can he give you?

He has no house and no car.

Is this the life you want to live?

Sir.

I have a job.

I can take good care of my family.

What can you take care of?

She could have had a better life!

Because of you,

she has to suffer with you!

Is this what you call taking care of her?

Dad, stop it.

I've already made up my mind.

No matter what the future holds,

I will be with him.

-You... -Jin Baihui.

Just keep being stubborn.

The days of suffering

are yet to come!

Don't be sad.

Didn't we agree

to make your parents believe we're really together?

I guess it's a success now.

I'm sorry

that you got scolded and wronged.

It's fine.

I'm thick-skinned.

It's okay.

We're just helping each other out.

Bros help each other out.

Thank you.

[Huacheng City Hejia Hospital] [Hematology Department Ward]

You've been doing well these past two days.

The nurses all praised you to me.

This is a reward for you.

Thank you, Dr. Shen.

Since I've been doing so well,

Dr. Shen,

could you take a photo with me?

The hospital has rules.

No taking photos together.

Just one.

I lost a bet with my besties.

They all took photos with their math teachers,

and I'm the only one who didn't.

Absolutely no photos together.

But you can take a photo of me.

Just don't include this equipment in the shot.

That works.

Dr. Shen, stand still.

Smile a little.

Strike a handsome pose.

Make a peace sign.

Three, two, one.

Cheese!

Is something on your mind today?

But you still look handsome.

I shouldn't have agreed to this.

Turn off the light and go to sleep.

This therapy is too new.

The risk is extremely high.

The current estimated survival rate

is only a little over ten percent.

To put it bluntly, this is a huge gamble.

Shui, are you asleep?

Wait a moment.

Come in.

[Huacheng City Hejia Hospital] [Hematology Department Ward]

Shui.

I have to tell you something right now,

something very important

and serious.

After you hear it,

the choice is yours.

Why are you here?

I'm here to visit you.

Seriously...

I've been extremely busy lately.

Currently, our company

is increasingly expanding.

I have to split myself in two to handle it.

Stop putting on airs.

If your business is expanding,

why don't you hire more people?

This is the excellent quality of a good boss

who handles things personally.

Show-off.

Drink it while it's hot.

I have to say,

this coffee came right on time.

I was really too sleepy.

What good stuff is this?

Your favorite.

I can always count on you, Tang.

Let me take a call.

Don't dawdle. Just say it.

Speak.

No, how many times do I have to say it?

Stop trying to persuade me.

I think this issue is not important right now.

Everything has its priorities.

You think your problem is the most important now,

but it's exactly the opposite.

I think a technological upgrade is the top priority.

Unbelievable.

What's wrong?

Why the big temper?

This company is full of crap.

I don't even know why I hired these people.

Duan Qiyan, I don't mean to criticize you,

but can you be a little more patient?

You've had this bad habit since childhood.

There's a problem with your communication style.

How can you negotiate anything like this?

No, do you even know what I'm talking about

before you start scolding me?

I just don't get it.

I, Duan Qiyan, am at least a boss to others.

Why, in your eyes, Tang Tingting,

am I capable

of nothing?

Am I that useless?

Duan Qiyan, why are you getting mad at me?

I shouldn't have bothered with your crap.

This late again?

What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you.

Actually,

I'm not that hungry.

Then...

Just sit for a while?

♪ I'm like the gentle clouds in the sky ♪

I really want to try the strawberry crepes

at that place you mentioned.

Then let's go there now.

Now?

♪ I'm wandering about carefully, looking for the answer, so at a loss ♪

Yes.

Sit tight and hold on.

I'm going to speed up.

Don't worry. The crepes won't get away.

Let's go!

We'll come back next time

and catch them.

It was my first time living with someone

other than Dad, Mom, and Zeqiu.

There was no awkwardness or discomfort,

only a natural connection

and happiness in every second.

This feeling is so wonderful.

Just like the Gaussian integral,

the calculation process is beautiful and magical,

and the result is even more unexpected.

The only person who can give me this feeling

is Jiang Yubai.
