After leaving Sheng Jiayu and Lu Zhe in the backstage, Zhang Chencheng went out to continue helping Grandpa Zhang.

The two waited backstage for a while, and it was almost half past six when Zhang Chencheng came back with Grandpa Zhang.

Although Grandpa Zhang is old, his eyesight is not blurry at all.
As soon as he saw Sheng Jiayu, he smiled kindly as if he knew who he was, "It's you, right? The legendary little rabbit in your college?"

It’s okay to be told this normally, but when an elder says this to you, you’ll still feel a little embarrassed.
And these are just some exaggerations in school. In reality, he is not that outstanding. Although his ability is okay, it is just the average level of the meat-eating type. It's okay in the first team, but I don't know how he will fare in the entire league.

It's just because he is a rabbit. It's too embarrassing to give such a title in front of an old man.

"It's not as serious as they say." He scratched his head and bowed to Grandpa Zhang. "Hello, Professor."

"Hey - since Cheng Cheng calls me grandpa, you should call me grandpa too. We are classmates and I am not your boss." Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and asked him to sit back.

Lu Zhe also stood up with him, and they both sat down at Zhang Chencheng's signal, waiting for their grandfather to continue speaking.

"It's Cheng Cheng who's embarrassing himself. He's been bragging about you since he got home. His father almost broke his legs, saying he was embarrassing, but Cheng Cheng showed us your test records, and he's really amazing. Young man, don't underestimate yourself. Your limit is not just this." Grandpa Zhang is older and has seen all kinds of people. He doesn't think it's strange that a rabbit is so amazing, because a person who is so amazing should not be underestimated no matter what his bloodline is.

But after hearing what Grandpa Zhang said, Sheng Jiayu just smiled bitterly and said, "My upper limit is definitely not here. It's even lower than this."

He had a hidden meaning, and was using this topic to open up what they originally wanted to say.

Grandpa Zhang picked up the thermos cup on the table, took a sip, waved his hand and said, "I know, you are drunk in the spirit field, right? Let's eat first, and we can talk slowly while eating."

Zhang Chencheng had mentioned this to him twice before, and he also knew that Sheng Jiayu would be participating in the league in the second half of the year. The demand in this regard was urgent, and he could not wait until the second-generation soothing agent was on the market next year.

He knew why Sheng Jiayu came, but it was hard to explain in a few words.
Things have their priorities, so it is more important to eat first.

It's almost seven o'clock and I'm starving.

"Chengcheng, lead the way. You know this area best." The old man called out, and Zhang Chencheng immediately took out his smart computer and started to determine the location.

"I know, but I can't book a private room in many restaurants at this time. I'll look for it." Zhang Chencheng searched for a while before finding a suitable restaurant. "Okay, let's go! Grandpa will treat you to this meal!"

"It's my treat! You little kids, how can I let you pay?" Grandpa Zhang stood up first, and then his eyes fell on Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe seldom gets involved in laboratory and research institute matters. His family's cutting-edge technological work is still handled by his father and is not handed over to him.

He felt that Mr. Zhang would not recognize him, but the few glances he took made him a little confused.

However, Mr. Zhang did not look at them for long, as if he was just examining and caring for the younger generation, and he happily led them out.

The old scholar was not so particular about eating. Although Zhang Chencheng booked a private room, it was actually just an ordinary restaurant.

In the middle of winter, Zhang Chencheng chose a hot grilled fish restaurant.

When the hot grilled fish came up, the fire underneath had not yet been extinguished, and various side dishes were placed next to the fish.

Sheng Jiayu was an omnivore and a greedy person. He was also very hungry, so when he saw the food, he immediately started eating it.

After a while, the fish bones that had been removed piled up in front of me.

And there were garlic cloves piled up next to it.

He is not picky about food and has no resistance to the taste of garlic, he just doesn't like seasoning.

After a while, a hand reached out, dragged the hill in front of him away, and replaced it with a bowl. "Pick out the good ones, and put the ones thrown away over here."

It was a bowl of fish meat with even the bones picked out and no seasoning.

In fact, there are not many bones in grilled fish, only large bones and some spinal bones on both sides, so there is no need for others to help remove them.

Lu Zhe's pampering of him made Sheng Jiayu feel that something seemed to have transcended the line that was supposed to exist between them.

He turned his head to look at Lu Zhe, and saw that there was nothing unusual about him. He just asked him casually, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay..." Is he overthinking it?
But Lu Zhe usually likes to tease him. Could it be that Lu Zhe... also treats him as his son?
Fu Mingcheng had said before that because he looked too pure, it was easy for him to arouse people's overflowing maternal love, but he has changed a lot now. Many senior students on the forum also said that he has grown from a natural vitality guy into a little goblin. His youth of loving innocence is over, and now it should... not be so easy for people to have overflowing maternal love.

But when I think about when Lu Zhe met him, he was still the same as before.

It is easy for people to only remember the initial impression of the people around them. Even if changes occur, it is difficult to appreciate the tiny changes that happen every day if you keep watching them.
Sometimes, even if you have already experienced it, you will still be very stubborn and maintain your original impression of him.

It doesn't seem strange to think this way.

Sheng Jiayu chose to give up thinking and did not refuse. Instead, she helped Lu Zhe pick up food and pour drinks.

He didn't know that Grandpa Zhang had been watching their actions from the opposite side, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

The old man lowered his voice and asked Zhang Chencheng: "What is the relationship between the two of them?"

"Hmm? Seniors and juniors, and league teammates?" Zhang Chencheng already knew that Sheng Jiayu had been selected by Lu Zhe's team. "That's probably it."

Grandpa Zhang thought to himself: It’s useless for me to ask you, you are just a piece of wood.

"Forget it, just keep an eye on them. If the relationship...any changes occur, you should also remind your classmates." Grandpa Zhang's words were vague, mainly because he was not sure about the relationship between the two and could not make decisions on his own about future matters. When he said this, Zhang Chencheng must have been confused.

"What can it become... OK, OK, OK, I know."

Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, mainly because it was impolite to say such words.
Although many people with awakened carnivorous bloodlines would like to pursue herbivorous people, many carnivorous people cannot tell whether their liking comes from the desire to conquer as a person at the top of the food chain, or from true love.

Such incidents occur every year in major universities and are not uncommon.
So when we see carnivores and herbivores walking together, as elders we will always give them some advice.

Even if the carnivore really likes the herbivore, the suppression in the food chain still exists. In love, all desires and emotions will be infinitely magnified. It is not uncommon for some carnivores who cannot control their fangs to cause rivers of blood in certain things.

But he hadn't figured out the relationship between the two kids yet. They seemed close, but it seemed like they hadn't broken the window paper yet. It was inappropriate for him, an elder, to keep talking about these things. He could only ask Zhang Chencheng to pay more attention as a friend. And most importantly, if the two of them didn't have that intention at all, it would be impolite to suddenly bring it up.

When the meal was almost over, they started talking about what they were supposed to talk about while the fish pot was still bubbling.

Sheng Jiayu wiped his mouth with a tissue. The grilled fish was spicy, and his lips turned a little red, which made his originally fair skin stand out even more.
The steaming grilled fish pot in front of him also added a layer of mist to his eyes. His face, which had always been well-behaved in front of his elders, now became even more talkative.

But his mouth was full of sharp words, and the atmosphere was set off just right. But what he said made the old man's face turn cold instantly: "Grandpa, no matter what the side effects of the second-generation soothing agent are, I want it. I can participate in the next drug test and provide grandpa with actual usage data..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhe stood up and stopped him from saying the next word.

But Sheng Jiayu put her hand on Lu Zhe's leg and pressed him down without saying a word.

It wasn't a force strong enough to immobilize Lu Zhe, but it made people feel his determination.
Sheng Jiayu was determined to do this, and he would not listen no matter what Lu Zhe said.

It no longer mattered whether Lu Zhe stood up or stopped him.
Sheng Jiayu knew what he meant and knew he would stop him, but he still did so.

"I think my grandfather will definitely need the data obtained from the high-intensity usage rate of military school students." Sheng Jiayu finished the rest of his words without any emotion, and ended with a very polite smile.

His relationship with Zhang Chencheng was just that of ordinary friends. No matter what the reason was, he couldn't ask Grandpa Zhang directly for the second-generation soothing agent.
Firstly, this thing is not safe. Secondly, this thing has not yet been put on the market and is priceless. Sheng Jiayu does not have the money to support the quantity he needs. Before the price of this thing stabilizes after it is officially put into use, it will still be very expensive even with subsidies from the school.

Besides, the school might not agree with him using such unstable drugs.

But he had no other choice.

So he could only trade and trade himself.
All drugs will go through a clinical trial phase before they are officially launched on the market.
Since the second-generation soothing agent is expected to be officially released next year and has confirmed side effects, it means that biological experiments have been done. Judging from what they said at the press conference, they are almost at this stage.

It is not excessive for him to make this request now.

Grandpa Zhang stared at him for a while before asking, "Aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"

"The problem with the first generation of soothing agents is that their efficiency is too low. In other words, most of the side effects of the second generation are caused by improving the efficiency. The side effects brought about under such circumstances will not be greater than the intoxication in the mental field and the use of the mental chamber." He was not completely unprepared. He knew very well that if a drug had fatal side effects that had not been resolved, the people in the laboratory would not think it would be available on the market next year.

Since Mr. Zhang dared to say it, it definitely won't kill him. As for other side effects, it won't be worse than him having to hold on now.

"So you don't even know what the side effects are, yet you dare to mention it to me?" Grandpa Zhang tapped his fingertips on the table, examining him and testing him.

Sheng Jiayu curled her lips and said, "I don't know, but I don't care. I have to play in the game, and I can't hold my teammates back. It doesn't matter to me whether it has side effects or not, but using the side effects to gain more energy during the game is still a win for me."

After saying that, Grandpa Zhang laughed out loud, and slapped Zhang Chencheng on the back of his head. "Boy, you really don't blame him at all for losing to him. You are really crazy to be ambitious."

Sheng Jiayu did not comment on this. He did not think he was crazy or desperate.
If it's something that can be achieved, you should naturally give it a try. After all, side effects may not necessarily occur, right?
"Then let me first tell you about the current side effects of the second-generation relaxants. It does not cause substantial harm to the mind and body. The biggest problem at present is that it can easily cause mental weakness." Although this side effect does not seem to be very big, it is a bit funny that as a drug that assists in the recovery of mental strength, it can easily cause mental weakness.

The best way to restore mental strength when auxiliary products are not suitable is to sleep. However, if the use of second-generation soothing agents causes mental weakness and leads to insomnia and nightmares, this is simply putting the cart before the horse and can be regarded as drinking poison to quench thirst in another sense.

However, after hearing this, Sheng Jiayu felt that it was not a big deal. It was just that she couldn't sleep. At worst, she could just get another shot before the physical examination the next morning.

He did not have any questions, but continued to ask Grandpa Zhang some other questions about clinical experiments.

In fact, the side effects of the second-generation relievers are not limited to this. As a psychiatric drug, it is inevitable that the side effects are many and complex. They have actually developed a modification plan in this regard, and some of the problems will be solved in a new round of biological experiments in the near future.

The drugs that were available at the press conference did not pose any serious life-threatening problems, just as Sheng Jiayu had expected.

Grandpa Zhang said that mainly to scare Sheng Jiayu and let him know that the road ahead is dangerous.
However, he is a young man who is not afraid of tigers and has a firm belief, so he is still willing to help the young man.

However, this was only after he made the next adjustments, re-conducted biological experiments, and confirmed that the side effects were within a controllable range.
No matter how careless the child is, as an elder and a drug researcher, he cannot allow an uncontrollable and dangerous drug to be used by cadets in a league where every second counts.

If something happens, even if the child doesn't cause trouble for him, he will still feel guilty.

So the earliest promise Grandpa Zhang could make to Sheng Jiayu was in June this year.
If the next phase II biological experiments go smoothly, they will probably start the third round of clinical trials in June this year, and will provide him with sufficient amounts of the second-generation reliever.

However, the problem of neurasthenia may not be completely corrected during the second phase of the trial.

"This is related to the dosage. Our current adjustment plan is expected to reduce the probability of side effects for the dosage of general civilian drugs. But the frequency and dosage you need are beyond our expectations and cannot be completely avoided. I will only provide you with a dosage that you can control at that time, and send a doctoral student to follow you during your competition to be responsible for real-time monitoring and data feedback. Is that okay?"

Sheng Jiayu had no objection to this. He was already very satisfied to be able to use it in the league.
But he is not as arrogant as Grandpa Zhang thinks. For him, this thing is his bottom line.

Be patient if you can, and delay if you can.
In fact, it was just discomfort, not something he couldn't endure and maintain his level of performance.
He needs a more effective reliever, simply because there is a mental status check before the game and he will not be allowed to play if he does not meet the standards.

By the time everything was finalized, it was already late.

At 9:30 in the evening, the star city of Allenville was already covered in the colors of a starry night, with the dazzling street lights setting off different colors.
It was definitely too late to go back to school. Sheng Jiayu checked the nearby hotels on the smart brain, but Lu Zhe held down the smart brain and said, "No need."

"Ok?"
"I've already told you that my home is nearby, you can just walk there, or... are you afraid of walking at night?" Lu Zhe tried his best to make his tone lighter so as not to scare Sheng Jiayu.

But Sheng Jiayu always felt that there was something a little weird in his attitude. He had felt it when he was chatting with Grandpa Zhang just now, and he replied easily: "How could I be afraid of the dark?"

This place was indeed not far from Lu Zhe's home. They said goodbye to the Zhang family's grandfather and grandson, and arrived in less than 20 minutes.

Lu Zhe's house is not too ostentatious. It is just in a villa area, not as luxurious as the castles and gardens in the back hills as seen in novels.

But maybe, this is just one of their houses in the city center.

Sheng Jiayu thought so and followed Lu Zhe into the room, pushing the door open. The room was dark and it seemed that no one was there.

Lu Zhe turned on the light in the hallway, but heard a woman's "hmm" coming from the living room.

Sheng Jiayu curiously leaned forward and saw a beautiful woman in pajamas, holding a glass, looking towards them and saying "Oh" in an exaggerated manner.

"Why, you finally brought that person back home?"
