Tetramembranous worms, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, your tiny body, flexible cilia, slightly fat pear-shaped figure, silently dedicated to the Nobel Prize, are all the look of my love, you are the perfect Buddhist pig girl in my mind, come and talk to me about a Buddhist love, okay?

I know that you are very good, a qualified model creature, easy to feed and never picky eaters, whether it is fresh water or salt water or hot springs, you can always find your food naturally, eat enough and then swim and swim and swim without heart and lungs to live happily.
Even so, you are still a Buddhist pig girl who needs to take care of her care in my heart. So I feel sorry for you, and I will never again see you exchange your five pairs of chromosomes—your most precious thing, and the holy relics that I can only look at from a distance," on days of lack of nutrition to produce offspring.
So, if you can promise to be with me, I'll raise you round and round, two or three hours can do your favorite splitting, it's okay to split as much as you want, because I like to see you cut by the RNA interference mechanism to produce dozens of chromosome copies, you don't know that you are busy identifying, busy cutting, busy digesting and while muttering and throwing garbage, it is so cute.
You see you, even if you are busy, you can accurately complete the splitting technique, leave those useful sequences and throw away those garbage sequences, decisive and clever, how to make people not love it!

Dear tetramembrane, if you could be my girlfriend, I would take you around. Go to the University of California to find your old friend Blackburn, who has been revealing your little secrets since 1978 – telomeres and telomerase, and you're shy, not only because that's the first time you've been thrust into the spotlight, but also because they've discovered the truth about the teenage girls you won't get old.
Take you to the University of California, Berkeley to find another of your old friends, Cech, which was a brave challenge you launched to the times, before you all thought that enzymes are proteins, it was you, brave and witty to stand up and overturn this old and imperfect concept. It is because of your selfless dedication that you have put them on the throne of the Nobel Prize, and I am so happy to know and fall in love with you.

Dear tetramembrane, if you can do marry me, I want you to give birth to monkeys for me, and I like your unique breeding style with independent characteristics. We can have many monkeys until there are monkeys of 7 or seven genders, but I will not force you, because I know that you are a Buddhist girl, and everything is not disputed.
You always say that the gender of the children should not be determined by the parents, but should be randomly selected by themselves when they are formed, just like a roulette game with 6 numbers, which number the stone ball falls on, the children form the corresponding gender. Look, you're just casual, but I'm obsessed with the magical feeling that comes with that randomness.
Well, dear tetramembrane, having said all this, are you willing to come and fall in love with me now? But I think now you are probably thinking about whether to accept the invitation from the protein substitution expression system and don't have time to answer my request, it doesn't matter, I will wait for you until you know who I am.
