Chapter 193: Running Errands, Lin Shumo Suspects
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
After putting down the food, the assistant was dismissed.
As he passed by Ling Xuan, who was collecting trash, he said, “Hey, buddy, finished eating?”
Ling Xuan: “Yeah.”
The same indifferent attitude.
The assistant didn’t mind and asked with a smile, “Where’s your girlfriend?”
The young man was first stunned, then the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted, and then he looked into the laboratory through the door.
The assistant instantly understood what he meant, “Ah! Researchers are all like this, busy with their work day and night, not paying much attention to people. It’s just a habit. Besides, they don’t mean it, so we should be understanding.”
Ling Xuan: “…Yeah.”
“By the way, how long have you been with your girlfriend? Seems like you guys are getting along well.”
“Cough… not long.”
“I told you, how can it be all lovey-dovey after being together for a long time?”
Hearing the last word, Ling Xuan’s cheeks turned slightly red.
“Oh! The young man is shy?” the assistant teased.
Ling Xuan hastened his pace of cleaning up, and finally put all the trash into the bag.
The assistant asked again, “Are you leaving now?”
“Yeah.” He nodded, his attitude noticeably friendlier than before.
“Not staying?”
Ling Xuan fell silent for a moment. “…She’s not willing.”
“She’s being considerate! You can’t enter the laboratory, so you can only stand outside and wait. It’ll be dark soon, and there will be mosquitoes everywhere, why bother?”
But Ling Xuan knew it wasn’t because of any “consideration.” In fact, Jiang Fuyue didn’t care whether he stayed or left, just as she didn’t care if anyone accompanied her for dinner, or specifically who that person was.
In her mind, he was just an errand boy.
For those dozens of sets of test questions, he diligently ran around.
But Ling Xuan didn’t mind, let it be running errands, some people wanted to run but didn’t have the opportunity.
Like Lin Shumo—
“What exactly are you and Jiang Fuyue up to these days? As a team member, I think I have the right to know.”
It’s not that he was being overly suspicious, but Jiang Fuyue’s behavior had been too bizarre lately.
She rushed in and out every day, submitting assignments at a speed that could rival a rocket launch—
There’s no fastest, only faster!
If it was just that, it would be fine. Jiang Fuyue was always someone who didn’t follow the beaten path.
But after a few days, Ling Xuan also started acting abnormally.
Just after morning classes ended, he would receive a phone call, hurriedly leave the classroom, and then not return for the entire lunch break.
The same in the afternoon, he would leave after answering a phone call.
Originally, the group of three seemed to have developed some “little secrets” behind his back, Lin Shumo endured for two days but couldn’t sit still anymore.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter where he went, he was always the center of attention, and now, for the first time, he experienced the feeling of being “isolated.”
Yeah, it didn’t feel good.
So, when Ling Xuan answered another phone call and turned to leave again, Lin Shumo quietly followed him, seeing him first pick up food at the school gate and then head towards the laboratory building.
He thought about it and continued to follow until A1 laboratory…
He saw Ling Xuan knock twice, and the door opened from the inside. Jiang Fuyue walked out.
In a white lab coat, bathed in sunlight with a faint layer of golden light, for convenience, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, secured at the back of her head.
Now, she was taking the food from Ling Xuan’s hand and placing it on the terrace.
Lin Shumo stood in the corner, watching this scene, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
So, Ling Xuan is so proactive every day just to do the delivery boy’s job and deliver food to Jiang Fuyue?
Tsk!
