Professor Lei and Ouyang were both lost in their thoughts as they sat quietly on the floor, looking out through the window. At that hour, strong winds and heavy rain were on the way.
"Why do you come here for bacterial experiments?" Professor Lei asked as he idly touched his beard, his demeanor softening.
"Professor Lei, I'm sure you know that the other instructors refused me. They treated me like a ball and kicked me around. I almost gave up. Thank you for taking me in," Ouyang said politely.
'Humph! Everyone was young once!' Professor Lei snorted to himself.
In his youth, Professor Lei had been glorious. However, bacterial experiments was an unpopular major that few people chose.
Shawn was born to a rich family and fell in love with Elizabeth at first sight. Previously, he had been known to be a playboy after he changed girlfriends seven times during his first year in University. His reputation as a skirt-chaser and philanderer had spread all over the medical school.
Everyone knew that no woman could refuse a rich and excellent man! What's more, Shawn was also handsome and cool.
Elizabeth was his junior. As soon as she entered the medical school, he intensely pursued her. He waited for her at the female dormitory building every day, wishing to have dinner with her, even if it was against her will. In the beginning, Elizabeth was bothered by his attention because of his reputation as a skirt-chaser in medical school. Elizabeth hated this sort of man the most!
However, Elizabeth was a tender-hearted girl, and her heart was finally melted by his dogged persistence in love. One day, the two were finally able to go out on a date.
Facts had shown that a once-skirt-chaser can become a faithful lover if the right person came along.
On one particular day, Shawn had made remarks that moved Elizabeth to tears. Shawn said, "Before I met you, I saw myself as a fickle man. I've lived a homeless life since I was a child. My parents didn't meddle in my personal life. Besides, I loved freedom. I thought I was the kind of person who would never settle down. But after I met you, I realized that I could also be a faithful man."
After graduation, Shawn returned to City C and took over his family business, while Elizabeth stayed in England. During that period, they experienced a cross-country love story. Shawn remained a responsible man to Elizabeth. For Elizabeth's sake, he moved the headquarters of his family business to England. Since then, they have happily settled there.
Now, both Elizabeth and Shawn were retired. They have since been traveling the world to complete the wish of their youth.
Ouyang had also changed a lot since then. He had been doing bacterial experiments without being noticed. Professor Lei had told him that the birthmark on his face could be removed, so Ouyang had undergone a laser-lifting surgery to get rid of it. He felt like he had been reborn to a new, good-looking face.
Ouyang had been fond of doing experiments for many years, and one of the things he enjoyed the most was having a lab to himself. His parents had long passed, and he didn't have a family of his own, so he had nothing to worry about. Although he had a fortune, his soul was empty, and there were only the terrible bacteria to keep him company.
With a darkened and warlike face, Serge rushed as fast as he could to the lab where Doctor Ouyang was working.
There were four first-class security guards outside of the lab. When Serge asked to go in, they blocked his path with their strong bodies.
"Sir, this is a private house. You can't enter!" the security guard clad in a black suit stood in front of him and said firmly.
