The dormitory fell into a brief silence.
Shou Weixiang parted his lips, wondering whether he should utter the F-word or not.
Yang Pengwei gave a thumbs-up and chuckled:
"Awesome, starting tomorrow I'll study with Chen Gong, huh? If studying medicine can't change my own fate, then I might as well change someone else's."
"Haha, all I can see in my head right now is that muscle diagram from today's dissection class, can't bear to look!"
"Alright, sleep now, calm down, calm down!"
Shou Weixiang was internally frazzled, feeling a similarly hair-raising unease, and he desperately needed to vent.
Ji Chao switched off the light appropriately: "Okay, okay, let's go to sleep now!"
Yang Pengwei suddenly asked with a smile: "Chen Gong, is this illness curable?"
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Gong replied, "It's tough to treat, surgery is needed."
"Hahahahaha..."
"Gagagaga!"
...
It must be said, it's feared that brothers suffer hardships, yet it's also feared they drive a Land Rover.
You say we're all single dogs, but you actually managed to get a girlfriend?
What gives?
After a rampage-like celebration by a group of single dogs, introspection began to set in.
Chen Gong, however, felt perfectly justified, after all, he had two girlfriends, and at the moment they were helping him write his paper.
Where could he find someone more obedient than that?
As for women, they would only weaken his kidneys.
After a while: Memory decline, inattentiveness, lack of energy, reduced work efficiency.
Difficulty controlling emotions, dizziness, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, depression, etc.
Lack of confidence, no enthusiasm for work, no passion for life, no goals or direction.
(Not recommended to take personally)
...
Thinking of these, Chen Gong shivered, terrified.
During the conversation, he quietly opened his laptop, watching his girlfriends dance on the keyboard, couldn't be happier!
At this moment, his inspiration was overflowing, regarding the Carnot Cycle and the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle's predictions in human diseases, he already had plenty of thoughts and accumulation.
A paper on disease prediction was already on course, just waiting to be written.
"Research on Arteriosclerosis Serum Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Testing Indicators Analysis and Hypotheses Based on the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle's Positive and Negative Transmissions"
This series of ten pulls had solidly reinforced Chen Gong's fundamental knowledge reserves.
But at this moment, an untimely voice rose again.
Making the long-silent dorm room 623 once more permeated with the smell of gunpowder.
Shou Weixiang got out of bed at this time, opened a can of Coke with a clatter and took a sip, then quietly sent a voice message to his girlfriend with a facial muscle defect:
"Baby, aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Ah, through the endless night, without seeing your smile, how can I fall asleep? Your image is my tranquilizer, ah!"
"Heh heh, I really want to grow old with you."
Ji Chao, grinding his teeth, said: "True dog! In the middle of the night, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Shou Weixiang twisted his buttocks, took another sip of Coke: "Alright, boss, restrain yourself in the middle of the night.
"I noticed earlier that your bed was shaking."
"Is finding a girlfriend that hard?"
"Ah... We'll probably have to add an extra pair of chopsticks when we go out for meals in the future!"
Ji Chao, grinding his teeth, stared at the ceiling, swallowing tears of humiliation that tasted bitter, sour, and salty.
Hearing this, Chen Gong said quietly:
"Your dream of growing old together seems a bit difficult!"
"The aspartame in Coke is a class 2B carcinogen."
"Staying up late is a class 2A carcinogen."
"Together, the effect doubles, I guess... growing old together will be tough."
"If you don't sleep, I guess your partner will either remarry, become a widow, or your children will take someone else's surname."
"Hmm, that's a challenging thing."
Upon hearing that, Shou Weixiang instantly froze, his right hand clutching a can of Coke, as a faint chill seemed to emanate from him.
Ji Chao and the others couldn't help but burst into uproarious laughter.
"Ah, I can't breathe from laughing so hard!"
"Beast, I advise you to just go to sleep."
"Whichever outcome it is, it's not going to be pretty."
Shou Weixiang looked at Chen Gong with a look of deep resentment: "You... are just jealous that I have a significant other!"
Chen Gong: "No, this is what they call 'unpleasant advice is a true friend's act'."
After this whole fiasco, Shou Weixiang was so out of it, it felt like when you're about to get busy and then you suddenly hear the girl say in a sultry voice, "Come on the way, I'm HIV!"
All enthusiasm vanished in an instant.
"Damn it, just sleep, sleep!"
Lying on the bed, Shou Weixiang felt annoyed and deeply wronged; he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
All he could think about was the anatomical diagrams from today's dissection class, coupled with the facial muscle defect syndrome that Chen Gong had mentioned.
What the hell... How do I get rid of this mental scar?
Now, whenever Shou Weixiang thought of her face, sleep eluded him completely, and her facial muscle diagram kept flashing in his mind.
Damn it, is there a formula for the area of a psychological scar?
At that moment, his girlfriend's timid recording of her singing came through the phone: "If I can't see your smile, how can I possibly sleep... "
Shou Weixiang shuddered and hurriedly turned it off!
Not like this... Sister, now that I've seen your smile, I'm even less able to sleep!
...
Meanwhile, Chen Gong quietly opened his notebook, unperturbed by the abnormal integrals echoing in his ears.
That's life!
You might as well give some genuine health advice instead of being tormented by flaunted affection.
As medical students, how could you fall in love?
In the future, thousands of patients will be waiting for you to save them!
This little love affair, well, that can wait for later...
Refocusing on his thesis, Chen Gong began to write.
The reason he chose atherosclerosis was also a sudden realization that this disease was suitable.
While his experience in laboratory medicine and pathology hadn't increased Chen Gong's academic skills to level 1, enough knowledge was there to support a thesis and hypothesis.
Choosing atherosclerosis was important not only because of the knowledge base but mainly because if a biomarker could be researched and found, it would benefit endlessly.
Atherosclerosis is a highly prevalent disease that can affect arteries throughout the body, causing various complications and seriously endangering public health.
Moreover, the present method of checking for atherosclerosis relies mainly on imaging studies, which can only conclude one of two things: either it is already present, or it has not yet formed.
There aren't any biochemical standards for high-risk factors in the intermediate stages, nor any index to suggest a tendency of atherosclerosis!
As research progresses, many new serological markers related to the development of atherosclerosis have been discovered, which might provide new ideas and methods for subsequent diagnosis and targeted therapy.
Intermediate products from the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle and the Carnot Cycle are actually completely viable for research.
If a certain biomarker that could predict atherosclerosis earlier on were to be discovered, that would be good news.
Chen Gong selected a few markers and discussed and hypothesized at length about them.
...
...
A thesis took Chen Gong a whole two days and a bit to finish properly.
However, upon seeing the requirement for a supervising teacher on the paper, he fell silent for a moment.
Whom should he write?
After hesitating, Chen Gong looked at the stack of thick documents on his desk and then wrote down the name Yang Li.
Where to submit the paper?
At this moment, he saw many resources in Yang Li's collection came from a journal called "Chinese Basic Medical Research."
Chen Gong flipped through it back and forth, not overthinking it, and sent it straight out.
He checked online and saw that the initial review period was one week, with results given after one week.
