On the other hand right in the private room of professor Ling, now the situation there is very tense, Sisi stared full of astonishment with professor Ling as well as the professor Ling himself, until one of them began to open his voice first at that time.
"Side, I want you to stop making things difficult for Zhan Tao in this laboratory, you're his senior you should be guiding him and helping him wholeheartedly, even if you're not happy about his whereabouts, even if you're not happy about him, you must continue to accept it and be professional in this laboratory." Professor Ling rebuked him.
Senior Sisi further furrowed his eyebrows, he certainly did not accept if he was even rebuked firmly like that by his own friend who might now become a professor first than he was, and not even himself, moreover, during this time senior Sisi also put feelings for professor Ling only he was never accepted by him despite any amount of effort and until now he could only be limited to friends and colleagues on research only.
So that Zhan Tao's appearance was very disturbing to him and he clearly felt jealous of Zhan Tao who looked closer to professor Ling compared to him lately.
"Ling what's wrong with you, has your brain been washed by the new kid? You've never dared to speak in such a high tone to me before, and why do I feel like you've always protected him and defended him for anything!" Senior Sisi replied to him.
"Side seems like you misunderstood me and Zhan Tao, I never defended him or discriminated against him at all. I treat all my colleagues in this lab the same way, which is why I called you here and reprimanded you in this kind of good way, don't you think who caused this to happen? You're Sisi. You're the one who broke the rules here first. Not me or the new kid." Reply professor Ling replied to him and gave an understanding to senior Sisi back then.
"Well... Me? You're saying I broke it first? What I've broken, I've never broken anything here." Reply senior Sisi who still does not admit his actions.
"You've given Zhan Tao a data research assignment that should only be done by you or Anming, Zhan Tao is not in a data research class on campus and he's not in a technology major, do you think it's not against the rules here? While the data research is very sensitive and very important, only experts can do it and I entrust all of it to you because Anming is still not finished with his scientific work. But you, what you've done, you've given this much responsibility to Zhan Tao who just entered the lab and he's an S1 student. Why would you do that?" Professor Ling replied to all the mistakes Sisi made and did not admit at this time.
Hearing the words from professor Ling, it was immediately that senior Sisi realized the great mistake he had made all this time, and stupidly he only realized all that after speaking out loud and felt he had never done anything wrong before.
Now he was immediately silent and could not answer the question of professor Ling anymore, so it made a professor Ling even more anxious in dealing with it.
"You need to know, even if you're my friend and you're the one I trust but from now on I won't trust you like I used to, and you should know there's no second chance with me, if you do something like this again I'm forced to take it out of the lab and animal research I'm doing." Said professor Ling, who gave a threat and a stern warning to senior Sisi at the time.
Senior Sisi was also immediately flabbergasted in shock, he had never gotten a reprimand and was immediately given a threat like this by professor Ling before, and now he instead had to accept this one thing for the first time.
"Ling, I know I was wrong, and I'm sorry to you, please don't get me out of your lab, I also want to graduate from here I want to be like you so I deserve to be with you next to me, didn't you say you wanted to be with a woman who deserves you? Please don't let me out like this." Said senior Sisi who immediately apologized and acted so weak and sad.
Unfortunately professor Ling was indeed a human with a heart as hard as a rock, he did not feel pity at all let alone pity senior Sisi, so he just apologized to her as a sign of respecting senior Sisi for being friends for so long.
"Side needs you to know I'm just apologizing to you this time, and that's what I'm doing because I see you as my friend, if something like this happens to someone else, I'm going to kick him out of my lab, because I need an honest, professional colleague, the cleverness you have is worth nothing to my eyes if you're like this." Professor Ling replied to him again.
"Side I've said to me, I won't marry or have a partner, I will devote myself to science and research. Unless I meet a woman who is worthy of me, there is only a possibility that I have a partner, but it seems that you also misunderstood the meaning of this word. Now I'll explain it to you." Professor Ling said to him very seriously and glared so keenly at his eyes.
"What... I don't think I'm wrong in understanding that." Senior Sisi's reply already looked so curious.
"I do not mean equality in his intellect, not of his education or more than mine, but of my heart, my feelings and the comfort within me, up until now I haven't felt the feeling of love for anyone, so I guess I just love science, you better not think too much of me, you deserve a better man than me." Professor Ling replied to senior Sisi back then.
Hearing the words from professor Ling, now senior Sisi began to realize that the understanding he had thought so far was really wrong, he had tried very hard and continued to study day and night, day and night, he wanted to achieve a master's degree and be able to match Ling's professor, as well as being able to have the same standing as her, just because she wanted to be Ling's professor's lover.
From the beginning senior Sisi didn't really like research and all the things he was concerned with, but he was trying to love science and keep working well because he liked professor Ling, he said, he wanted to be worthy to be with him, but it turned out to be all in vain, although now senior Sisi has really liked science thanks to what he has passed so far, he said, but his main goal had collapsed, he had already lost his main goal which had always been an encouragement for him.
Senior Sisi immediately walked out of Professor Ling's room and he sat back at his desk with a face so sad and lethargic he lowered his head and just kept staring blankly at his computer.
I saw Sisi's senior figure for the first time, of course I was worried about him, even though I was very upset with him and did not like him but saw the current state of Sisi's senior, my heart could be moved and could not bear to see like that alone.
I also ventured to approach her and try to talk to her.
"Ekm... senior Sisi are you okay?" I asked him while standing beside him with a bit of nervousness back then.
She immediately raised her head to look at me with her sad eyes, I knew at that moment she would definitely cry so I quickly covered her smiling face with my body then gave her a tishu, because I understand this strong woman like her would definitely not want others to know her sadness and would not want her to cry in front of everyone.
"Here, you can cry if you want, I'll cover it up senior." I said while giving a tishu to him at that time.
Senior Sisi directly raised his head staring at me back then and his eyes were already getting more teary, even more so, I knew she was going to cry so I smiled as I slightly nodded my head at her giving her space so she could cry even in front of me at that moment.
"Just cry, if senior Sisi feels it could release the vexation in your heart." I said to him again.
Until senior Sisi completely lowered his head and cried in front of me right then and there.
