Chapter 18: On-the-spot Q&A

Just as Director Na and Teacher Xu were about to continue, Luo Yan stood in front of Shen Tao and faced them, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"Shen Tao, don't be afraid. I think you're right," She said.

Oh ho? The idiot is showing off her intelligence again? I watched the comedy with a smile. Lin Hai was also quite interested.

"Luo Yan, what are you thinking?" Director Na had a mild temper. She wasn't as irascible as Teacher Xu, so she asked coldly.

However, Luo Yan and Shen Tao were really capable... to make Director Na give them a such a cold face.

Luo Yan was blind. She straightened her back and said, "Director Na, Teacher Xu, we are upright and honest. Shen Tao and I both think that we have a wide understanding of HIV, so the documents that we produced are naturally perfect. It's normal that we don't understand your criticism, right?"

"I hope you can give me and Shen Tao a reasonable explanation."

"You want a reasonable explanation, don't you?" Director Na smiled. "Since that's the case, I'll let Lin Luo ask the questions, and you guys will answer. How about it?"

"As long as I can get the answer, I'll fulfill your request. I won't go back on my word," Director Na said happily.

"Alright!" Shen Tao raised his eyebrows and said excitedly.

"I also agree." Luo Yan nodded in agreement. "Then let's see what kind of profound questions Lin Luo, a liberal arts student, can ask!"

Oh?

Then you've found the right person.

"Lin Luo, do you think it's okay?" Teacher Xu asked for my opinion.

I nodded, indicating that it was fine.

There was nothing more reasonable than letting me ask questions and letting them answer! Seeing this, Lin Hai also took a step back and gave the stage to me. He was probably also looking forward to Luo Yan and Shen Tao's shocked expressions!

...

"What's the structure of the virus' outer membrane?"

"What are the enzymes necessary for the replication of the virus under Pole Gene's sequence code?"

"What's the reason for the high rate of replication in the virus?"

The questions I asked them were the same ones that Lucy had asked me.

She was only a high school student, so these questions were the results of her research. It was obvious that anyone who seriously understood HIV could answer these questions.

"I, the structure is..." Luo Yan stammered, unable to give a complete answer.

Shen Tao even scratched his head unnaturally. Obviously his mind was blank. The current Luo Yan and Shen Tao could be said to be completely clueless.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't give the right answer. "It seems that you're all confident but not aware of your own abilities," I shrugged.

"Lin Luo, are you deliberately making things difficult for us? Do you know the answer?" Luo Yan was flustered and defeated. "You deliberately made it difficult. You're wicked."

"Yes, yes." Shen Tao nodded, "Teacher, Director, you have to help us."

You're still looking for Director Na and Teacher Xu? Ha, Director Na and Teacher Xu probably both know that these are all basic questions. It didn't even involve any deeper knowledge.

I didn't wait for Director Na and Teacher Xu to reply before I spoke.

"Of course I know the answer." I smiled. "I'll tell you the answer now so that you can open your eyes."

"The answer to the first question: the outer membrane of the virus is a lipid envelope..., the answer to the second question: reverse transcriptase binding... the answer to the third question: because the reverse transcriptase has no correction function, random variation occurs. "

I didn't even get stuck.

After giving a complete and smooth answer, I arched my brows and said, "It's because your skills are inferior and you're not willing to work hard. You've always thought that you're at the top and no one can compare to you, which led to today's situation."

"In fact, you don't deserve to join the HIV Research Group at all!"

I purposely raised my voice at the end.

Luo Yan and Shen Tao blushed. They wanted to refute me, but they didn't know how to do it. After all, I was telling the truth. Even if they found an excuse to refute me, they'd have to search for it for a while.

Just as Luo Yan and Shen Tao were thinking about how to refute my words, Teacher Xu's voice came, stopping their silly attempts.

"Alright," Teacher Xu's serious expression just now was eased by my excellent performance. "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's not waste any more time."

"Lin Luo, Lin Hai, you can go back now. Oh right, Teacher would like to congratulate you on the results. Keep up the good work."

Teacher Xu showed a rare gentleness.

"Good luck, I'll also support you." Director Na also cheekily gestured to us.

After Lin Hai and I responded, we were about to leave the office.

Before I left, I saw Director Na and teacher Xu's expressions suddenly turn serious. They were talking to Luo Yan and Shen Tao. What a change in expression. It seemed that the two of them were in trouble!

Tsk, it was another operation that had achieved a great victory.

..

On the way back, Lin Hai was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"They're usually so high and mighty. Today, they got beaten up. I almost laughed in front of Director Na and Teacher Xu!" Lin Hai's excitement could not be concealed. "You don't know how ugly and infuriating they were when they didn't work in the research group."

"Now, they won't dare to disturb us anymore." I laughed.

I thought of another matter and continued, "Lin Hai, don't forget to recruit new members for the research team."

Even if I have top-tier HIV knowledge, I don't want to continue writing pages and pages of papers. It was better to find some helpers.

"Oh, oh, right. Thanks for reminding me. I'll go and draft the recruitment notice now. It's forbidden to act arrogantly and show off!"

"I hope Luo Yan and Shen Tao can see this and get angered to death!"

After my reminder, Lin Hai started writing a draft on the campus forum, wanting to be the first to post it. While he was editing, my phone in my pocket also started ringing.

[ Brother, I'm in the HIV Research Group now. Don't worry, I, Liu Fei, will definitely help you find out the specific information! ]

[ By the way, do you want to come to the research group? If you can join the research group, it'll be good for you too, right? ]

[ Lin Luo, Lin Luo, please reply to this. ]

It was Liu Fei who sent the messages.

It seemed like he still remembered the HIV Research Group I mentioned a few days ago. I unlocked my phone, typed, and replied to his message.

[ Give me a moment. ]

[ I'm on my way to the research room. ]

After replying to his message, Lin Hai and I strode towards the research room. Ten minutes later, when Lin Hai and I appeared in front of Liu Fei, he was dumbfounded.

Lin Hai's photo had been posted on the campus noticeboard. Liu Fei now knew that Lin Hai was the person in charge of the HIV Research Group.

"You guys?" Liu Fei looked at us in shock.

"Hello, I'm Lin Hai, the leader of the HIV Research Group." Lin Hai began to introduce himself.

On the way, I told Lin Hai about Liu Fei's misunderstanding of me having HIV. As a result, Hai Lin could not hide the smile on his face when he saw Liu Fei.

"Ah, ah, H-Hello." Liu Fei replied.

"And this one." Shen Tao pointed at me again.

"I know him, there's no need to."

"Lin Luo, the main member of the HIV Research Group."

Lin Hai introduced directly.


Chapter 19: The Truth is Revealed

"Main member? I didn't hear it wrong, did I?" Liu Fei instantly began to doubt his ears.

"Of course not." Lin Hai smiled and said, "The paper that Lin Luo was in charge of organizing has already received an award. Naturally, he is a core member of our HIV Research Group."

Lin Hai casually told Liu Fei the truth, and Liu Fei was completely stunned.

"Organize the thesis?" Liu Fei slapped his thigh in realization.

Could it be that he had thought it through? That I didn't write the paper because I was sick? However, Liu Fei's words made me feel... ridiculous.

"Lin Luo, you're really exhausted because of your illness! As your brother, I'm deeply touched by your contribution to the field of HIV even though you're seriously ill!"

? ? ?

I actually have nothing to say. Liu Fei's brain circuit is getting more and more outrageous. I'm seriously ill, writing a paper on HIV, and want to contribute to the HIV field?

Was Liu Fei's brain automatically filling up a tragic drama?

Just as I was thinking, Liu Fei suddenly rushed in front of me. His words were sincere, and his eyes were firm. "Lin Luo, I will always support you!"

Alright, he firmly believes that I'm the main character of a tragic drama. While Liu Fei was waiting for me to answer his question, Lin Hai asked, "Brother, did you make a mistake?"

"Wrong?" Liu Fei laughed, "That's impossible!"

"Lin Hai, you don't know this, but my brother, Lin Luo, is infected with HIV. He's still determined to study HIV and is shining in his field!"

"He was shining when he wrote the thesis!"

I was even shining? Am I a light bulb in Liu Fei's eyes?

"Pfft-" Hai Lin couldn't hold back his laughter as Liu Fei looked so serious. He bent over and covered his stomach.

"W-Why are you laughing?" Liu Fei was confused.

"You don't think I'm joking?! Do you!" he frowned.

"Lin Luo, you didn't tell Lin Hai about your illness, did you?"

"You're sick. HIV?" I decided not to hide it from Liu Fei anymore. I was afraid that Liu Fei would spread my heroic deeds to all the students on campus.

Seeing this, Liu Fei replied, "What else? Hurry up and explain to Lin Hai. Let your research team leader understand how much you've sacrificed."

"No, did I say I have HIV?" I asked indifferently, the smile in my voice spreading.

"Ha? Ah, ah, I know. You don't want to tell anyone, right? Of course, you don't want your illness to be known to all the students."

"Liu Fei, I don't have HIV."

As Liu Fei was speaking, I interrupted him. Liu Fei was stunned by my words.

After a long while, Liu Fei asked robotically, "What?"

"I'll tell you." I patted Liu Fei's shoulder. "I don't have HIV."

He only came back to his senses after I repeated myself.

"You don't have HIV?" Listening carefully, there was even a bit of regret.

My mouth twitched. I knew that Liu Fei was regretful because he was denied what he had believed. But in this situation, he was sighing?

Liu Fei was the only one who would behave this way.

"You saw my research paper on HIV and decided that I had HIV?" I said slowly, "Who exactly infected your brain circuits?"

"No, isn't it because you're sick that you were studying it?"

Liu Fei looked up at me and Lin Hai as he spoke. This time, Liu Fei's brain was back on track.

"The HIV Research Group's thesis," he mumbled.

"You've finally realized," I raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, how did you guys believe that I had HIV after reading my HIV paper?"

"..."

Liu Fei did not know how to reply.

When I saw his expression, I knew that he was simple-minded and stubborn.

"I almost laughed out loud when you guys were reading my thesis in the dorm," I said indifferently.

My words caused a stir in Liu Fei's heart.

"Y-you knew... you knew that we've read your thesis." Liu Fei scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.

But a moment later, he woke up with a start.

"Lin Luo, if you knew, why didn't you explain?" Liu Fei looked at me in shock. "We were almost going to arrange your funeral."

"When did I say I have HIV?" I laughed.

"!"

Liu Fei was suddenly enlightened, and he wished he could erase the calmness he had when he was analyzing the patient's condition.

...

After Liu Fei found out the truth, he sent a message to our dormitory group.

[ Liu Fei: Everyone, Lin Luo doesn't have HIV. ]

[ Liu Fei: He's only researching a paper on HIV. ]

The replies in the group were quick.

[ Dormitory boss is here: ?! ]

[ Dormitory boss is here: Lin Luo told you? Or you guessed it. ]

[ Liu Fei: Of course, he said it. ]

[ Liu Fei: this kid knows that we were reading his thesis, but he was still hiding it from us. I'm so angry. I heard that he won a prize for his thesis, and the bonus has been given out. I'm going to rip him off today! ]

[ Dormitory boss is here: agreed. ]

[ Zhu Luo: I agree too! ]

[ Zhu Luo: Huh? Wait. ]

Zhu Luo, another dormitory mate, suddenly interrupted the conversation.

[Zhu Luo: Lin Luo won the award for his thesis. Does it mean that he knows a lot about HIV? it's advanced enough. Brother Luo @Lin Luo.]

[ Dormitory boss is here: If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of that! Lin Luo cna even win awards! 666. ]

Looking at the active messages in the group, I couldn't help but smile.

[ Lin Luo: the documents were investigated and studied by the research team leader. He handled the documents well. I'm only responsible for organizing the documents. I don't know much about HIV. ]

I humbly sent the message.

I didn't give them any time to think about it and sent another message.

[ Lin Luo: The school's cafeteria. You can have anything. My treat today. ]

My message was sent, and a series of firecracker emojis flooded the screen. At five o 'clock in the afternoon, our dormitory members appeared at the fifth canteen.

"Not bad, kid." The boss patted my back. "Not only are you not sick, but you've also been rewarded. You have to work harder in the future."

As he spoke, he walked around me and sat opposite me.

"Brother Luo, you're awesome." Zhu Luo, who was beside the boss, also agreed.

Before I could respond, Liu Fei spoke first.

"Even if it's information prepared by the leader of the HIV Research Group, Lin Luo is still capable of organizing it into a paper!" As he spoke, he raised his drink. "I, Liu Fei, propose a toast to you!"

I smiled and picked up my drink. Everyone in our dormitory was congratulating me and attracted a lot of attention. While I was celebrating, I noticed Luo Yan and Shen Tao walking towards me.

Oh? Had she finished her lesson with the director and Teacher Xu? Looking at their gloomy expressions, I knew that it was definitely not a good thing. I thought they wouldn't provoke me anymore, but they still walked up to me.

"Lin Luo, you must be very proud now, right?"

The one who spoke was Luo Yan. Her voice was slightly hoarse. As for Shen Tao, he was dejected as he followed beside Luo Yan.

"Don't be too smug. The higher you fly, the worse you'll fall. I think you should know this." Luo Yan continued.

"The road ahead is still long, wait and see!"

Notes:

[666: In China, 666 means awesome.]
