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

Chapter 787 Role-playing is no longer useful to me.

11 month 15 day.

Xu Qingzhou spent a week helping Longwan build a large model of earthquake adaptability, and finally had time to rest on Saturday.

living room.

Xu Qingzhou lay lazily, while across from him, the TV was showing the Premier League match between Manchester City and Chelsea.

"Professor Xu, do you want to?"

"No, I just want to be a useless person who does nothing and lies flat today."

Xu Qingzhou sternly rejected Song Yao's request.

"Professor Xu~"

Song Yao called out in a high-pitched voice, "We haven't gone shopping in ages, the weather's so nice."

Women may be born with a talent for shopping, and Song Yao is no exception.

"The Chinese Football Association Cup final is this afternoon."

"Am I more important, or is watching the game more important?"

"Watch the game."

"."

Song Yao's powerful arms couldn't be controlled anymore.

"Ha, men. They used to say they wanted to be together, but now they don't even want to go shopping together."

"Freud said that human desires instinctively crave continuous novelty and stimulation. When a partner loses interest in novelty, even deliberate attempts to please, such as role-playing, will lead to boredom."

Xu Qingzhou wore an expression that suggested he was indifferent to the ups and downs of life.

"Really?"

Song Yao expressed her doubts.

"of course."

"Brother~"

Pah, you liar, you're clearly still enjoying it.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou raise his eyebrows with a smug look, Song Yao secretly felt contempt.

"The game has started."

"Xu Qingzhou".

Song Yao realized she had to use the conventional method. She looked expressionlessly at the lazy man in front of her and said, "I'll count to 3. 3, 2..."

"I'm going to change clothes."

Xu Qingzhou stood up quickly.

His last act of defiance was to persist until Song Yao counted the third number.

They knelt, but not completely.

Twenty minutes later, the two got into the white Wrangler.

Today is a private day for just the two of them. Liu Bin and the others will take precautions from a distance and will not get too close.

Xu Qingzhou drove towards a nearby shopping mall, while Song Yao, holding her phone, planned their return trip to Rongcheng and asked Xu Qingzhou, "Shall we go back on January 26th?"

The Lunar New Year is at the end of January this year.

Xu Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I want to take a look at the CFQS-T project. Although tokamak is still the mainstream at present, with 70% of fusion devices being tokamak, stellarators are irreplaceable in terms of safety and steady-state operation."

In the future, multiple technological approaches will definitely be pursued in parallel to mitigate the risks of commercializing fusion.

The principle of not putting all your eggs in one cage is always true.

"Go back a week early?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Yao decided to go back earlier and said, "Anyway, I still have annual leave to take, so I might as well go back early to spend time with my parents."

"Okay."

"Then I'll book my flight."

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Chang'an Tianjie.

Song Yao was wrapped up tightly, wearing a white knitted hat, and looked a little dazed.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't resist reaching out to pinch the girl's cheek, but Song Yao quickly slapped it away. "You've ruined my makeup!"

"In the dead of winter, let's start with a cup of milk tea."

Xu Qingzhou always believed in making the best of a situation. Since he had already decided to go out, he might as well accompany Song Yao shopping.

"I think I see a few new products." Song Yao's attention shifted.

"Buy it yourself. Just so you know, don't try to trade with me if you make a mistake."

"Tch~ As if anyone wanted to."

The two walked slowly into the mall hand in hand.

I had a dry pot lunch at the mall, watched a movie, played claw machines, and bought clothes in the afternoon. For dinner, I went to a Cantonese restaurant. By the time I got back, it was already 7 p.m.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao, mainly Xu Qingzhou, carried a large pile of things into the house.

They bought some winter clothes, Song Yao bought two pairs of shoes, and also bought several boxes of cosmetics for Zhang Junli and Wang Xiaping.

While Xu Qingzhou was putting his things down, Song Yao had already slipped into the bathroom in her slippers. After a while, she came out and stuffed her feet into Xu Qingzhou's lap, saying, "Professor Xu, you can play with them."

"So generous."

Xu Qingzhou looked at her with disdain, but still took Song Yao's foot.

Song Yao's shopping trip was just like when she was feeling awkward.

He was energetic at first, but became listless later.

He first pinched Song Yao's soft, white feet, then massaged her ankles, and slid his fingers up her calves. Seeing Song Yao's comfortable expression, he chuckled, "Maybe I can become a foot massage therapist when I lose my job in the future."

"No need, I can support you if you lose your job."

Song Yao said confidently that she would enjoy Master Xu's foot massage and also make plans for him, "You can stay at home to cook, do laundry and take care of the children, and I will earn money to support the family."

"Just give up on this idea."

Song Yao was still determined to keep him as her sugar daddy.

Possible
Just like she enjoys being on top, there's a sense of conquest, right?

Xu Qingzhou roughly understood this girl's mindset, and respected it. He didn't like the contrast between her and the aloof Song, the school beauty.

I'll pack it for you sooner or later.

Song Yao muttered.

Seeing Song Yao squinting her eyes in enjoyment, Xu Qingzhou asked, "Are you tired?"

"tired."

Song Yao replied with one word: "I've been walking all day, and my ankles are still a bit sore."

"I carried everything," Xu Qingzhou reminded her. Looking at the girl's current frail appearance, he began to doubt whether she was the same girl who could carry a large desk by herself in high school.

“I’m a girl,” Song Yao answered with her eyes closed.

“When you hit me, you don’t act like a girl at all.”

Song Yao likes to act like a little girl now. Maybe it's true that the less someone has, the more they like to pretend.

Xu Qingzhou massaged her calves.

I can never get enough of touching those tender little feet. We've been together for four or five years, and I still enjoy it.

Of course, this is also thanks to Song Yao having amazing legs.

Song Yao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xu Qingzhou pressed for a while, then thought of the important matter: "Old Ji has already started contacting universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University. A complete plan for the establishment of a research institute should be finalized this month."

Similar to other countries, the appointment process will employ a combination of tenured researchers and visiting researchers.

"Zero Point Technology has no problem with funding. In the first phase, we can raise approximately $15 billion in initial funding."

"15 billion? We have that much money?" Xu Qingzhou asked in surprise.

"Currently, most of our experiments are funded by national projects, with our own investment accounting for only about 15%."

As Song Yao spoke, she raised her left foot, indicating that Xu Qingzhou could switch to another one to play with. At the same time, she said, "Due to the impact from the United States, our revenue from superconducting thin films has decreased by half, and we still have about $8 million in revenue each year."

The applications of superconducting thin films are not limited to the field of fusion. China is currently carrying out a large-scale transformation of its ultra-high voltage power grid, which alone can bring them about 15 billion yuan in revenue every year.

There is also demand for mobile phone heat dissipation modules, quantum chip substrates, MRI equipment, and so on.
