Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow.
“Well, you don’t really need to find him. He’s in the lab right now. Just go there and tell him you need to copy something,” he said.
“He’ll agree?” Jiang Fuyue expressed doubt, recalling the man’s usually serious demeanor.
“Why wouldn’t he?” Shen Qiannan raised an eyebrow. “Do you have some misunderstanding about him?”
Jiang Fuyue just smiled and didn’t say anything.
“Uh… Although Ah Yuan has a bit of a cold personality and doesn’t talk much, and he’s quite stubborn about certain things…”
Perhaps realizing he was complaining too much, Shen Qiannan quickly added, “But those things aren’t important. Uh… What’s important is that he’s not as heartless as you imagine. But sometimes he can be quite stubborn… How did I end up back here? Anyway, if you explain the reason, he’ll agree!”
Seeing the other party’s confident and assured manner, Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.
If she got rejected, she could always come back and ask Shen Qiannan for help.
…
As Jiang Fuyue was at the front desk paying the bill, a fragrant breeze suddenly approached and stopped beside her.
“Please make a mocha and an Americano to go, thank you.”
The woman had long hair draped over her shoulders, light makeup on her face, delicate features, and the most attractive thing about her was the gentle and scholarly aura emanating from her.
“Dr. Lin, it’s been a while since I last saw you!”
The woman made a soft sound of agreement. “I’ve been out of town for a few days, just got back.”
“No wonder… Are you pulling another all-nighter to write your paper tonight? You’ve prepared two cups of coffee.”
“No,” the woman smiled, “I’m bringing them for a colleague.”
“Oh~ That professor must have quite the influence.”
Thinking of that person’s temperament, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but shake her head. “Indeed, quite influential…”
A few minutes later: “The coffee is ready.”
“Thank you.” The woman paid and left.
Jiang Fuyue withdrew her gaze, flexed her fingers slightly, tapped the table twice, and made a muffled sound.
“Hasn’t the bill been printed out yet?”
“Sorry about that! We, uh, couldn’t find the printing paper. Could you pay at the counter next to this one?”
Jiang Fuyue moved to the spot where the woman had been standing earlier and finally managed to settle the bill and leave.
“I’m really sorry about the delay. Have a good day, and welcome back anytime!”
Instead of returning to her dorm, Jiang Fuyue went straight to the A1 lab.
Just as she turned the corner, she saw a man and a woman talking at the end of the corridor, quite close to each other, probably a couple.
Taking a closer look, it was quite a coincidence—wasn’t that Xie Dingyuan and the elegant woman she had seen at the coffee shop earlier?
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, suddenly stopping in her tracks, and stood there with a smile that seemed like a smile, not moving.
She was a professional spectator.
At this distance, she could clearly see the interaction between the two, and if she focused and listened carefully, she could even hear their conversation.
However, most of the time, it was the woman who was speaking, while Xie Dingyuan only furrowed his brows, at most responding with a “Mmm.”
“Senior, I bought coffee, a hot Americano.”
Xie Dingyuan paused for a moment before accepting it and politely thanked her.
“Don’t be so polite. I heard from Second Aunt that you only drink Americano, so… I didn’t know if you’d like the taste of this café, but personally, I think it’s not bad.”
Actually, Xie Dingyuan preferred tea over coffee.
But obviously, there was no need to tell the other party.
“If you don’t have anything else…”
When Lin Weiwei heard this, she knew he was tactfully asking her to leave, so she hurriedly interrupted, “Um, I haven’t been to the A1 lab before. I’ve heard about it for a long time and have been looking forward to it. Could you… take me for a tour?”
Xie Dingyuan frowned, his tone cold, “You’re also a researcher, you should know that labs can’t be entered casually, especially chemical and biological labs that are currently in use.”
A1, on the other hand, was an interdisciplinary lab that covered both biochemistry.
“I know, but there are protective suits inside, and full-body disinfection is done before entering. Although my research direction is not in the field of biochemistry, I still have this common sense, so you can rest assured.”
“No need for that.”
Lin Weiwei: “?”
“You can wait until I’m done using it, cleaned up, and then come for a visit. There’s no need to go in at this moment and waste a whole set of protective gear.”
Waste protective gear?!
This reason… was absolute.
Jiang Fuyue almost couldn’t hold back and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid of making a sound.
This Xie Dingyuan really… um… had a unique way with words.
His words almost spelled out “you’re not welcome to come in,” and even his rejection lacked sincerity.
Lin Weiwei’s mouth twitched, her face turning purple. “Senior, are you really that unwelcoming to me?”
“I’m busy.”
Meaning, it’s your own fault for coming at the wrong time.
“And also, I thought I made it clear enough last time, and Third Sister should have communicated with you, so… ” he looked puzzled, “I really don’t understand why you came here today?”
Lin Weiwei’s cheeks turned red, on the verge of tears. “Yes, I admit, I’m not as straightforward and free-spirited as you—are. Saying we’ll meet and then meet, saying we won’t have any further contact and then cutting it off completely. In just two days, a complete 180-degree turn in attitude! Since you don’t want to get married, why do you come and stir up trouble with me? Stirring up trouble with me, and then leaving just like that, is it fun for you?!”
Xie Dingyuan: “I’ve already explained this issue last time, I don’t want to say it again.”
He hated people who couldn’t understand words.
Repeating himself again and again, wasting time and energy.
“If you insist on interpreting ‘the first contact between men and women’ as ‘stirring up trouble,’ then I have nothing to say.”
Sister Yue: I’m just missing a bag of melon seeds and a small stool.
