Chapter 59 Late Night Snack
When Qi Min and Bai Rong left the "Yuyun" computing center, they were both half-full and half-full.
Qi Min also noticed that her follower didn't eat much at the dinner table, so after leaving the subway station, she took him to the nearby McDonald's: "Bo Rong, are you not full? There is probably no food in the cafeteria now. Let’s have some fast food outside.”
Bai Rong was a little surprised that his boss would invite him to eat alone. He might have wanted to decline, but because he was really hungry, he followed Qi Min to McDonald's.
He ordered the most ordinary spicy chicken drumstick set meal, with Coke without ice. Qi Min just ordered a medium potato.
Sitting down in McDonald's, Bai Rong faced Qi Min who was just eating French fries slowly, and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Qi, why do you only eat French fries?"
"I'm not used to eating fast food. I have other things to eat when I get home." Qi Min had already sent Anton a WeChat message and asked him to prepare some midnight snacks. She had had enough fast food in the United States, and now that the weather was so cold, all she wanted to do was go back and have something hot to drink.
Hearing that his boss had something to eat when he came home late at night, Bai Rong couldn't help showing a look of envy. However, undergraduate students who cannot go home at will still have to eat fast food. Bai Rong lowered his head and silently ate his spicy chicken drumsticks.
Qi Min was eating French fries and watching Bai Rong drink Coke across from him. Suddenly, she heard someone on the right calling her: "No. 2?"
He knew who it was by hearing this title. Qi Min turned around and saw Hua Ruiming.
"Hey, why did we meet here?" Qi Min said hello.
Hua Ruiming was also carrying a tray. It seemed that he had just bought a midnight snack and came here to find a place to sit. He then walked to Qi Min's table and asked with a normal expression: "Who is this?"
"The undergraduate student who came to our laboratory to do his final project, Bai Rong." Qi Min introduced them to each other, "This is Hua Ruiming, a fourth-year doctoral student in the Department of Medicine."
Bai Rong didn't know why his boss was so familiar with a doctoral student from the Department of Medicine? However, he still said hello in a normal manner: "Hello, senior brother."
Hua Ruiming just nodded to him, and then asked Qi Min: "It's so late, why do you still bring people out to eat?"
"Then why are you here?" Qi Min asked.
"There is no food in the school cafeteria now." Hua Ruiming replied, "I just finished my work."
"We are about the same." Qi Min said with a smile.
In this way, it was not due to some personal relationship, which might have made Hua Ruiming feel better.
"Do you mind sharing a table?" he asked.
"Sit down." Qi Min didn't care too much about this.
Hua Ruiming sat down next to Bo Rong, took a sip of Coke, and then asked, "How is your project going?"
"That's it." Qi Min said lightly, "More and more experiments are done."
It may be a good thing to do more experiments, indicating that there is new progress in the experiments. But it may also be a bad thing. For example, if the previous experimental plan fails, you have to start over again, and the experiment seems to be endless.
Qi Min asked again: "How is your project?"
"Basically, the experimental part is over, and I am writing an article." Hua Ruiming said calmly.
"Then you will graduate next year?" Qi Min asked with a smile.
"Not necessarily." Hua Ruiming said, "My boss will probably want to keep me for another year - isn't this equivalent to working for a year in vain?"
"Maybe I can write another article." Qi Min said comfortingly.
"I don't lack articles." Hua Ruiming is quite confident in this aspect.
Qi Min couldn't help but feel a little envious. Although the score of the article she wrote for her PhD graduation was also very high, if she could publish her own article, who would want to graduate based on the article?
Hua Ruiming and Qi Min chatted a bit about scientific research, while Bai Rong just lowered his head and ate. When the two men had almost finished eating, Qi Min said, "Then let's go."
She thought of something again and said to Bo Rong: "By the way, Bo Rong, just go back with this senior brother. I will go directly to the subway station."
"Where else are you going?" Hua Ruiming asked in surprise.
"I'm going home." Qi Min smiled.
"Oh...then be careful on the road." Hua Ruiming didn't react much at first, but then he added, "Are you with your boyfriend?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Qi Min asked.
"Nothing." Hua Ruiming turned his eyes covertly and asked Bai Rong, "Do you have a bicycle, junior brother? If not, go buy a small yellow car."
——
When Hua Ruiming took Bai Rong back to school, Qi Min was completely relieved. Although a young man in his early twenties could not walk more than a mile back to school at night, so there was no danger in theory, but Qi Min was mainly afraid that Bai Rong would take this opportunity to wander outside the school, and he would be in trouble if anything happened. It's her responsibility.
After watching Hua Ruiming and Bai Rong ride away, Qi Min also set off to walk to the subway station. While walking, she took out her phone to check WeChat and found that Anton had called her on WeChat, but she didn't receive it.
Qi Min called back and heard Anton ask: "Have you not finished eating?"
"I ate...but I wasn't full." Qi Min replied.
"Are you still full?" Anton didn't believe it. In his impression, Qi Min can eat any garbage as long as he is hungry - of course, this may just be because his definition of "normal food" is a little too high.
"I'm too embarrassed to eat when someone else is treating me to a treat." Qi Min explained, "Is there anything else I can eat at home?"
"There are quite a few. What do you want to eat?" Anton asked.
Qi Min wanted to "order", but considering that it was already past nine o'clock, it would be a bit unkind to ask Anton to cook a meal for her alone: "Just order whatever you want."
"That's right, you've always been easy to fool." Anton said.
How could this be said? Qi Min couldn't help but complain. She was just trying to lighten Anton's burden, so how could she be called "so fooled"? The co-author had to force him to cook a Manchu-Han banquet late at night, and he was happy, right?
——
It was almost ten o'clock when Qi Min returned to the apartment she rented. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Anton wearing cotton gloves and bringing out a large plate. She glanced at the plate and saw that it was full of dumplings.
"I suddenly wanted to make some noodles in the afternoon, so I made some dumplings for you." Anton said, "Try the pork and fennel stuffing."
"Wow, I'm so lucky." Qi Min was already very hungry. Without washing his hands, he picked one out with his fingertips and took a bite. While chewing, he said, "Can you ask Mimi to come out and eat too?"
"Shh!" Anton made a silencing gesture, "Mimi is already asleep." He teased Qi Min again, "You are worse than your daughter. You are embarrassed to eat with others."
Qi Min just felt restrained in formal occasions, and she didn't bother to explain to Anton what it felt like - anyway, he had never really encountered such a formal occasion in his previous work.
She put down her computer bag, took off her coat, washed her hands, and ate nearly twenty dumplings in less than half an hour.
I hope the boss invites us to dinner. (As well as asking for daily recommendation votes)
