Chapter I

Doctor Tian Cheng, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Plant Research Institute. Inside a quiet research room, a young man around the age of 27 or 28, wearing a white work shirt, was busy with something nervously. After a while, he stopped his work, scratched his messy hair, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and sat down on the sofa. He stretched himself with some effort, making a few "pa pa" sounds.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 11pm.

"Why are you so fast?" Forget it, let's continue tomorrow! " He changed out of his work clothes, mounted his bike, and disappeared into the city.

He was Tian Cheng, and his colleagues all called him Doctor Tian Cheng. It was not only because he was a doctor, but more importantly, his vast knowledge had already conquered everyone in the institute. Tian Cheng was an abandoned child who grew up in an orphanage. Even his name was given to him by the Principal.

Even so, he, who lacked family love, threw all his love into this world. He was so interested in everything, and was 100% passionate about everything that he was interested in. Most of the things he touched in life, he liked to suggest why, for example: why can a bird fly and a man not? Why can wear glasses can see more clearly? How did the steel come about? And so on and so forth countless questions, then spend time according to what he had learned and search for information one by one to easily solve these several why. As he gained more knowledge, the problems became more complicated. He would often be troubled by questions for months and months. There were also many problems that took three years or four years, and many of them were still mysterious.

From the day he entered school, he had put all his energy into studying. Of course, what he learned was not just books. He had always felt lonely, in the study found himself, found happiness, found spiritual support. Tian Cheng's aptitude could only be considered average among his peers, but he used his time and sweat to make up for all of his deficiencies. Just like this, Tian Cheng's results had always been at the top of the list, but he did not choose to jump levels like the "geniuses", in order to quickly "mature" himself, and instead took one step at a time, trying his best to learn other aspects of the knowledge while completing his studies. At the age of thirteen, he was admitted to the best high school in the province with the best grade in the city. Three years later, he once again entered one of the top universities in the country. To Tian Cheng, there were just too many things he wanted to learn. When he was filling in the matriculation requirements, he could only close his eyes and casually tick them when he hesitated. And so, he chose plant research.

In college, he was like a fish in water, because here he could unscrupulously study everything that interested him, without any strict rules, and no one would disturb his research." Spend a lot of money to find yourself a basement to use as your bedroom and research room. Actually, this kind of place was exactly what Tian Cheng needed. It was both spacious and quiet, with only a little darkness and humidity. He could only rely on his excellent results to get a scholarship every year, and on top of that, he also had to work as a laborer to live his life. The many years of living as an orphan had already taught him to suffer, and this kind of suffering was nothing in Tian Cheng's eyes.

Just like this, Tian Cheng worked hard every day to learn his expertise and learn everything that interested him. Most of his time was spent reading in the library, discussing with the teachers and researching in his "research room". The instant noodles seemed to have become his main dish. However, he was still doing this every day for the sake of his curiosity and for the sake of a better future.

Very quickly, Tian Cheng finished his graduate studies and became a doctor. That kind of life did not change until a few days before he graduated, and what changed was the depth of each research topic.

This year, Tian Cheng was twenty-eight years old and had already worked at the Academy for two years. In these two years, Tian Cheng had accomplished a lot in his research projects, and as a reward, the Academy arranged a private research room for him. Actually, the reason why Tian Cheng kept many of his achievements hidden from the public was not because he had any selfish ulterior motives, but because he was used to living a simple life by himself, he definitely did not want to be the focus of attention, and thus break his own normal life. He didn't have any friends, or rather, he hadn't met anyone he liked in all these years. However, he had a very good relationship with many people, and most of the people he had interacted with had feelings for him. Ever since he was young, he had always been like this, because he was very willing to help others without asking for anything in return. Therefore, with his talent in some small circles, many people liked to find him to help solve various problems. Sometimes, Tian Cheng would tease himself, "I'm a lonely person, but I'm definitely not a lonely person."

When he returned to his room and opened the door, he saw that all the decorations were simple and unadorned. The former basement was now a single apartment with one room and one room. Everything was neatly placed there. He couldn't help but doubt his own eyes. How could such a busy man have such a home appearance? Not only was it not "dog's nest" as he had imagined, but there was also a trace of a girl's meticulousness.

Actually, this was also a habit that Tian Cheng had cultivated over the years. Whether it was his work or his life, they were all so meticulous. He took off his clothes, took a hot shower, and lay down on the bed. He didn't forget to recall his day's work even after narrowing his eyes. Slowly, he entered into his dream.
