Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Nobel Prize-level

In a daze, Yan Feifan felt the body in his arms squirm restlessly, so he held on a little tighter.

But the person in his arms only stayed still for a moment before squirming again.

Yan Feifan opened his eyes to see a pair of bright, wide-open eyes and a pouting mouth.

"I have to go to the bathroom! I can’t hold it anymore!"

Hearing this, Yan Feifan quickly loosened his arms.

He saw Yu Suye, dressed in thin, silky pajamas, slip out of bed. She scurried out of the room, tiptoeing with a slight stoop like a little kitten.

Yan Feifan noticed the room was bright and heard the clear sound of birds chirping. He leaned over and grabbed his phone from the nightstand.

6:15 AM.

No missed calls!

Yan Feifan put down his phone and let out a big yawn.

He hadn’t arrived at the Wang Family’s villa on Phoenix Tail Mountain until after eleven last night. After having some barbecue and washing up, it was nearly one in the morning by the time he got to bed.

Yan Feifan propped his head up higher on the pillow, glanced around the simply decorated guest room, and yawned again.

Just then, the chirping of what sounded like sparrows arguing drifted in from outside the window.

The sound of birds...

Yan Feifan took a deep breath and savored the air. He could indeed smell the faint, fresh scent of grass and trees.

’The environment is nice, but the commute is too far, especially for a doctor who needs to handle emergencies.’

Yan Feifan muttered to himself.

For him, there were times he was so exhausted at the hospital that he didn’t even want to make the ten-minute drive back to Zuimo Court. He just wanted to find the nearest place to lie down and crash.

A villa in the suburbs, no matter how nice, was just a place for an occasional vacation.

It wasn’t worth buying.

A moment later, Yan Feifan heard familiar footsteps, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.

Immediately after, a warm body pounced on top of him.

Yan Feifan retaliated, reaching out and grabbing his opponent’s weak spot...

The pair’s playful back-and-forth quickly turned into a healthy morning exercise session, complete with soft moans and murmurs...

At 8:30 in the morning, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye, showered and feeling reasonably refreshed, appeared in the villa’s first-floor dining room to have breakfast with Wang Chuan, Yanyan, Yan Ziruo, and Tian Yu.

Yan Feifan noticed several kinds of small pastries on the table, along with boiled eggs, milk, and some soft, refreshing side dishes.

Besides that, next to each person’s bowl and chopsticks was a large glass of thick, grayish-green liquid.

Yan Feifan picked it up for a look and asked, "What’s this?"

Tian Yu quickly explained, "Mr. Yan, that’s the nutritional vegetable juice Yanyan’s fitness coach has her drink every day."

"Try it and see if it’s good, okay?"

Yan Feifan sniffed it and could make out the smell of celery, carrots, tomatoes, yams, and other vegetables.

With everyone’s eyes on him, he took a small sip. His expression didn’t change as he nodded and said, "Not bad. It’s actually quite sweet and sour!"

Tian Yu rolled her eyes. "Mr. Yan, you don’t have to act. I’ve already tried it."

"The taste is... really hard to describe."

Tian Yu then declared, "But we have to support Yanyan."

"Not just in spirit, but with our actions, too! And we’ll start by drinking the same vegetable juice she does."

"I asked Mrs. Hua to make a glass for each of us."

"Mr. Yan, you can set an example for us!"

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but glare at the meddlesome girl.

Yanyan, sitting to the side, said considerately, "Mr. Yan, if you don’t like the weird taste, you don’t have to drink it."

Yan Feifan picked up the vegetable juice again and chuckled. "The taste isn’t that weird. I quite like it."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and, with a few big gulps, poured the entire glass of incredibly complex-tasting vegetable juice down his throat.

This was a lesson learned from drinking traditional Chinese medicine recently.

If you just steeled yourself and gritted your teeth, it would be over in a few seconds, no matter how bitter or foul it tasted. Dawdling would only prolong the torture.

Yan Feifan put down the glass and quickly stuffed a piece of jujube cake into his mouth to counteract the taste.

Next, under Yan Feifan’s strict supervision, everyone reluctantly drank their large glass of vegetable juice.

This made Yanyan absolutely delighted.

Wang Chuan put down his glass, savored the aftertaste for a moment, and commented, "They put a bit too much carrot in this time."

He looked at Yan Feifan and changed the subject. "Feifan, has there been any progress on that rain sound hypnosis research?"

Yan Feifan explained, "We’ve confirmed that the sound can affect the sleep control center in the caudal part of my brainstem, allowing me to fall asleep faster."

"I’ve asked a friend to find relevant specialists to perform a detailed breakdown of the sound."

"Hopefully, through repeated experiments, we can identify which specific melody or melody of a particular frequency is causing the effect."

Wang Chuan handed a peeled boiled egg to Yanyan.

"Feifan, what’s the next step after you find this melody?"

Yan Feifan also finished peeling a boiled egg, but it was snatched away by the quick-eyed, fast-handed Yan Ziruo.

He had no choice but to grab another egg. "Director," he said as he peeled, "this sound is only effective on you and me, and the effect is significant."

"My hypothesis is that a certain melody or frequency in the sound is creating a sympathetic resonance with the sleep control center in the brainstem, causing it to become more active and accelerating our sleep onset."

"If my hypothesis proves to be correct, it suggests that each person’s brainstem sleep control center should have a specific ’stimulus key’."

By this point, Yan Feifan had finished peeling the egg in his hand and casually gave it to Yu Suye, who was beside him.

He picked up another egg.

"Perhaps, through certain tests, we could find each person’s stimulus key. This could be used to regulate sleep and reduce the reliance on sleeping pills for those who suffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation."

Wang Chuan chuckled. "Based on your research, we could create a sleep regulation device."

"There’s the flagship product for Extraordinary Medical Technology’s next phase."

Yan Feifan gave a small smile. "That would require the research to go smoothly and for the cost of finding these stimulus keys to be low..."

Just then, a coquettish shout interrupted him. "Mr. Yan..."

Yan Feifan looked at Tian Yu, who had called out. He was rendered speechless when he saw her pouting and pointing at the newly peeled egg in his hand.

He tossed the egg in his hand to the young girl and picked up the last boiled egg from the plate.

"Director, I also thought of something else..."

Yan Feifan said slowly, "A large percentage of today’s patients in a vegetative state or deep coma are in that condition due to brainstem injuries."

"If this stimulus key can promote sleep, could it be reverse-engineered to induce rapid awakening in a person?"

Hearing this, Wang Chuan’s expression grew solemn.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, your analysis is viable."

Wang Chuan couldn’t help but grow excited.

"Feifan, if you can use this sound resonance to develop an effective method for rapidly awakening patients in a vegetative state due to brainstem damage..."

"That would be a Nobel Prize-level research achievement."

Those words made Yan Feifan’s heart race.

However, he quickly calmed himself down.

"If the Nobel Prize were that easy to get, our country wouldn’t have so few laureates."

"What I’ve said is just an optimistic possibility based on theoretical analysis. The experimental results could very well be a different story."

"There’s a high probability that it’s just wishful thinking."

Yan Feifan said hopefully, "I’ll be satisfied if we can just successfully produce a research outcome like a sleep promotion and regulation device first."

Wang Chuan encouraged him, "For you, anything is possible."

"I’ll take your good words, Director. I hope so!"

After speaking, Yan Feifan took a large bite out of the boiled egg in his hand...
