After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 67 Emerging
Jiang Xia adjusted her mindset in the conference room and tried to calm her emotions.

Once she was sure she was alright, she got out of her wheelchair and reported the key points discussed in the meeting to Yan Guozhong. By the time she finished, it was almost time to leave work.

But she didn't intend to rest and went back into the laboratory.

"Everyone has had a busy day. We don't have a lot of work to do these next few days, so let's take this opportunity to stop working overtime and go home to rest!"

As Jiang Xia spoke, she also wheeled herself to her workbench.

Xu Fei was still busy preparing a specimen for microscopic examination, and said, "No rush, wait a bit."

Ke Hetai had just finished what he was doing when he looked up at Jiang Xia and said, "Then I'll be going now? Sister Xia, you're still injured, so don't be too busy. Go home early."

Jiang Xia nodded: "I understand, you should go now."

"Okay, remember to take your medicine on time." Ke Hetai gave a few more instructions, then packed his things, grabbed his bag, and left.

Lou Yushi leaned back in her swivel chair and slid closer to Jiang Xia. Seeing that Jiang Xia had turned on her computer again and was checking her notes, clearly on the verge of working overtime, Lou Yushi frowned and said, "We've all gone home, and you're still busy?"

"I'll prepare the neurotransmitter simulation, input the relevant data, and we'll see the experimental results deduced by the AI ​​tomorrow morning," Jiang Xia said without looking up. "It won't take long; I'll leave as soon as I'm done."

Lou Yushi said "Oh," but still couldn't help peeking around Jiang Xia.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia was completely focused when she got busy and wasn't disturbed at all. But when she was halfway through entering the data, Xu Fei called out to her again, "Jiang Xia, can you come and take a look? I think this is a bit..."

"Right away," Jiang Xia replied, finalizing the data he had entered. He then locked the computer screen and was about to turn around in his wheelchair when Lou Yushi blocked his way.

Lou Yushi quickly dodged, but blinked innocently: "How much longer are you going to be busy? Aren't you going to share an apartment with me?"

Since they are both roommates and colleagues, why shouldn't they go to and from get off work together?

Jiang Xia understood what she meant, and smiled as she suggested, "Why don't you go back first? If you want to wait for me, it won't be long."

Lou Yushi believed her and waited quietly by her side.

As a result, this wait... lasted from 6 PM to 10 PM!

By the time Xu Fei had long since left, and by the time her stomach began to rumble and wail in protest, Lou Yushi was speechless. She watched as Jiang Xia remained busy, his eyes never lifting, meticulously attending to every detail, even forgetting her presence.

Neurotransmitter simulations, using AI to extrapolate experiments, may seem to have errors and omissions even with the most detailed data.

So Jiang Xia improvised and wrote a more detailed and complex set of data. With this as support, the AI ​​should still be able to operate independently.

After finishing everything, Jiang Xia looked up and let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling tired, he stretched his arms and then noticed Lou Yushi, who had been quietly waiting by his side.

"what……"

Jiang Xia was embarrassed and very ashamed. He quickly packed his things and, using his wheelchair, moved closer to Lou Yushi. "I'm sorry, it's so late. You must be starving. Come on, let me treat you to dinner."

"It's so late, let's go home and order takeout." Lou Yushi said dejectedly, but after leaving the lab with Jiang Xia and locking the door, she hurriedly added, "But I want to eat Kamiedo crayfish! I want all three flavors!"

“No problem!” Jiang Xia readily agreed, and the two of them chuckled as they went downstairs. Lou Yushi’s rented apartment was very close to the research institute, located in a residential area on Gedao Road, in a building facing the street, only it was on the 39th floor.

This was the first time Jiang Xia had come here after agreeing to share the apartment.

The three bedrooms and one living room are spacious and very clean. I wonder how long Lou Yushi has lived here. The furniture and decorations are complete and the place is warm and elegant.

Lou Yushi opened the door to each room one by one and introduced them to Jiang Xia. Finally, she pointed to the innermost room: "That's the study, it's shared, but I like to read on the bay window inside."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you this weekend."

Lou Yushi then pointed to the bedroom next door: "That's yours, it's the same layout as mine, but it doesn't have a walk-in closet. If you have a lot of clothes, you can put them in my room."

Jiang Xia didn't refuse and said, "Okay, I just ordered takeout and milk tea. Go take a shower, I'll wait for the takeout."

Lou Yushi nodded, about to walk into the house, but then hesitated and stopped. "Um, is it convenient for you to take a shower by yourself? Do you need me..."

"No need." Jiang Xia looked at her, his smile unchanged. "I appreciate the thought, but I'll call you if I need you."

"Oh, okay."

Lou Yushi thought she was putting on a brave face, but she didn't expect the delivery to be slow. After she finished showering, Jiang Xia also came into the room. When she came out again, not only had the delivery arrived, but she had also taken a shower and dried her hair on her own.

Faced with delicious food, both of them, who had been starving for so long, naturally put aside their past grievances and immediately sat down to feast. Jiang Xia also felt his appetite return after a long time, but after eating two extra crayfish, his stomach was still a little uncomfortable in the middle of the night.

The next few days were all workdays, and Jiang Xia, as usual, was immersed in his busy schedule.

"The 17th neurotransmitter simulation failed again, and all that data from the AI ​​simulations..."

Xu Fei paused, then looked at the handwritten notes, "It's still not quite the same as what I calculated."

“Then we can’t rely on AI anymore.” Jiang Xia continued, plugging the USB drive into the computer. The 3D model of the Cortex-7 project slowly rotated in the holographic projection. “Lou Yushi’s gene editing module is 83% complete, and Ke Hetai’s nanomaterials have entered preclinical testing. We can’t get stuck on the neural signal transduction link.”

She pulled up the latest EEG spectrum and hovered her fingertip over the abnormally fluctuating waveform. "Do you see this spike? When nanorobots penetrate the blood-brain barrier, they trigger an overreaction of the immune system."

Lou Yushi burst through the lab door, clutching an experimental kit, her ponytail swaying with her hurried footsteps.

"The new CRISPR-Cas system is done!" Her eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Not bad." Xu Fei nodded approvingly.

Wearing goggles, Ke Hetai took the experimental box handed to him by Lou Yushi, took out a series of sealed jars and placed them on the experimental table. Inside, there were silver particles that were difficult to see with the naked eye.

Xu Fei walked over and observed carefully: "Could the bio-coating on the surface of the nanorobot increase the attachment points of neuropeptide Y? This neurotransmitter can inhibit the immune rejection response."

Ke and Tai pushed up their goggles, their eyes behind the lenses flashing with excitement: "Theoretically feasible! But..."
