I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 691 This is simply impossible to reproduce!

A white Jeep Wrangler drove into Xishan No. 1 Courtyard and stopped in the villa's garage.

Two girls got off the bus.

"This space is now available."

"Xu Qingzhou wants to plant some flowers and plants here, and there's a space over there reserved for a swing."

"A swing. Tsk tsk, that's nice."

Song Lulu was no stranger to the villa; she had visited it with her parents when she came to Kyoto University to register on September 1st.

She likes it here.

In the kitchen, Xu Qingzhou had just finished cooking the twice-cooked pork. Hearing the noise, he wiped his hands and went out, only to see two girls walking into the living room. They greeted him, "Please sit down, the food will be ready soon."

"Brother-in-law~"

Song Lulu called out sweetly.

A pair of dark eyes stared at Xu Qingzhou, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Is there flowers on my face?"

Seeing the girl curiously looking at herself, Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

"That's right. It's the first time I've ever seen my brother-in-law like this."

Song Lulu said shyly that Xu Qingzhou was wearing a pink cooking apron, and this househusband looked completely different from the one portrayed in the news.

It just feels... amazing.

Xu Qingzhou chuckled, "I'm going to cook."

"Do you need any help?" Song Yao asked.

"No need, you two wash the fruit yourselves and eat it. I've put it in the refrigerator."

Xu Qingzhou shook his head and went into the kitchen to continue his work.

living room.

"Second Meow".

Song Lulu greeted the tabby cat nestled on the sofa. Seeing that the cat didn't seem to want to leave, she tentatively poked its fluffy head.

Er Miao stared at the two-legged creature poking her with its finger, yawned, and continued to lie down and sleep.

At 6:30 in the evening, the setting sun was already hanging on the southwestern horizon, and the orange light shone through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, landing on the beanbag chair in the corner of the room.

Er Miao jumped onto the sofa, licked her paws, and stared blankly out the window, while Xu Qingzhou and the other two were already sitting at the dining table.

"Come on, try my cooking."

Xu Qingzhou looked at Song Lulu.

Wow, this is delicious!

Song Lulu picked up a piece of braised fish, her eyes lit up, and she nodded in praise.

"That feels good, I've been waiting to hear that."

Xu Qingzhou was satisfied. "See? The eyes of the masses are discerning. My cooking is not bad."

"Lulu is just going along with you."

Song Yao pouted.

"I'm sincere."

Song Lulu's voice was barely audible as she realized she shouldn't have gotten involved in the conflict between her cousin and her husband.

Xu Qingzhou shoveled at his food, saying, "Your cousin really dislikes my cooking."

"I don't mind."

Song Yao corrected, "That was contempt. Contempt and disdain are not the same."

"."

Xu Qingzhou was speechless. What Song Xiaohua said made sense. Disliking someone meant not wanting to eat it. Disdaining someone meant I was enjoying my meal, but that didn't stop me from despising your cooking skills.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou's lifeless expression, Song Lulu covered her mouth and secretly laughed.

I find the way my cousin and brother-in-law get along very interesting.

The outside world would never guess that this highly sought-after young scientist is actually so "miserable" at home, being unilaterally suppressed by his cousin.

If Xu Qingzhou heard what this girl said, he would definitely shout, "I'm so angry I could cry! I'm just a good man who doesn't argue with women; I respect my wife."

Moreover, what does it mean to unilaterally suppress someone? Do you know that I often talk back to your cousin too?

Despite his frustration, Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile, "Are you adjusting well to school?"

"adapt."

Song Lulu nodded, held the soup, took a sip, and complained, "I just think it's a lie to say that things will be easier in college than high school."

University is clearly more tiring.

Take my classmates in this major, for example. They're all incredibly dedicated. Even during military training, they're always in the library. They have clear goals: some want to study abroad, and some want to pursue a doctorate.
"Those who get into Peking University are basically all top-performing test-takers." "Cousin, brother-in-law, do you also think they're top-performing?"

"It's not scary to keep up; what's scary is when you keep trying and suddenly realize that no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with others."

Xu Qingzhou sighed.

"Brother-in-law, you..."

"Don't ask, I'm just empathizing with you."

"."

Song Lulu finally understood why her cousin always said her brother-in-law deserved a beating.

"Back to business."

After dinner, it was completely dark. The two girls cleaned up and washed the dishes, while Xu Qingzhou, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, leaned back on the sofa and watched TV.

A moment later, Song Yao and Song Lulu came out carrying a fruit platter.

Song Yao picked up a grape and fed it to Xu Qingzhou.

“So sour~”

"Lulu, the larger grapes are a bit sour, you should eat the smaller ones."

Song Yao turned to Song Lulu and said.

"."

Xu Qingzhou's initial感动 (feeling of being moved) vanished instantly.

The three of them went to a movie theater and chatted while watching it.

The two who were just arguing are now embracing.

Watching her cousin and Xu Qingzhou snuggling together, Song Lulu couldn't help but feel a little envious, thinking to herself that this was true love between equals.

Undeniably, she began to yearn for love.

Yes, being in a relationship seems really nice.

The three of them watched TV for a while when Xu Qingzhou suddenly received a call from Professor Ross of MIT, inquiring about the battery patent.

The girls in the Song family are all quite beautiful. Song Lulu isn't as stunning as her cousin, but among girls, especially in the Chemistry Department where girls are as rare as pandas, she's definitely a great beauty.

Although she had only been at the school for a little over ten days, she had already become quite famous in the School of Chemistry. Everyone knew that a very beautiful junior had arrived.

These days, she has also received a lot of friend requests from boys.

Many have also expressed their affection for them.

but.
She glanced at Xu Qingzhou, who was making a phone call by the French windows, and couldn't help but sigh. Compared to her brother-in-law, the boys around her seemed so immature.

I heard that my brother-in-law started publishing in top journals when he was a freshman in college.

And none of them attended any classes.

A legendary figure at Kyoto University.

Let's take a look at my cousin.

That's amazing!
Pennsylvania State University National Laboratory.

In the office.

After taking a sip of coffee, condensed matter expert Alex Burton glanced at the experimental report in front of him and dialed a phone on the side.

The call connected, and the person on the other end said, "Hi, Mr. Burton, it's nice to hear from you. What good news do you have?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Burton sighed and said thoughtfully, "We reproduced the data based on the paper, but unfortunately, even the first step of the electrode solution failed, and the results are far from the data in the paper."

"If the Department of Energy is willing to provide another sum of money," the other party said.

“Mr. Marco, if I may be frank, this is not a matter of money. Replicating their experiments is no less difficult than doing it all over again ourselves.”

Lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect are revolutionary experiments, and their replication is extremely difficult.

The relationship between the United States and China is not harmonious at present, and there is even constant friction due to the licensing issue of superconducting thin films.

We borrowed a lot of things from each other over the past year.

At this point, the United States was unwilling to back down.

Therefore, after seeing the news on the rubbing website, they immediately organized resources to reproduce it.

However, Xu Qingzhou and his team dared to publish their paper on the rubbing website, naturally taking into account the possibility of it being reproduced by others.

“Mr. Marco, I suggest we contact Xia Guo. Whether it’s circumventing patent barriers or finding a way to reproduce the technology, the cost will be greater than directly purchasing the patent.”

"Mr. Burton, do you think I don't want to?"
