Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 163 Shen Yue made her choice...

[Some details will be omitted to save data.]

Two hours later

Yan Youyou straightened her clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles in her pleated skirt, and put her little leather shoes back on.

Her cheeks still had a lingering blush.

"Well, maybe we should change our gloves..."

Jiang Ling coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's okay...it's fine...no, it's alright."

Yan Youyou lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at him.

So crazy...

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Their separation was like a hundred weddings.

To avoid polluting the environment, Yan Youyou put the lunchbox into a bag.

After tidying everything up, the two snuggled together again, whispering to each other and occasionally exchanging a soft kiss. The afternoon sun shone through the rooftop railing, casting warm dappled light on them.

Until the phone in Youyou's pocket rang with a crisp notification sound.

They then released their arms from each other's embrace.

"Um...Ah Ling..." Yan Youyou said with some regret:

"Today, Shen Yue said there are important experimental samples that need to be contained, so I have to go to the lab."

She looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "Do you... have time tonight? We can have dinner together, and then..."

"I don't have time tonight," Jiang Ling said softly, carefully wiping the fog off her black-rimmed glasses.

"But we have time now."

"I'm also going to find Shen Yue, let's go together."

"Hmm!" Youyou's eyes immediately lit up.

"I'll carry that lunchbox bag for you."

……

laboratory

Shen Yue, wearing a slightly oversized white lab coat, sat in a swivel chair.

She crossed her legs, her long gray skirt sliding down her calves, the hem stained with traces of dried 'experimental reagents'—details she hadn't noticed while engrossed in her research.

Shen Yue picked up the translucent glass bottle and examined it closely.

The light illuminated the creamy sediment that had condensed on the glass, casting dappled shadows on her long eyelashes.

"Delicious," Shen Yue uttered the two words softly.

Her purple eyes were focused and calm, and the tuft of hair on her forehead swayed gently with her subtle movements, like purple algae swaying in the wind.

Jingle ~

The elevator stopped on the third floor after I swiped my card.

Jiang Ling and Yan Youyou walked out of the elevator together. Youyou greeted Shen Yue, whispered a few words to Jiang Ling, and then turned to go to the changing room to change into a cleanroom suit.

Jiang Ling walked to Shen Yue's seat, picked up the lunchbox bag in her hand, took out a box from it, and placed it in front of her.

"This one is purer, I'll give it to you. Then, I'll leave the blood draw and stuff to Youyou to help me with," Jiang Ling said, opening the box.

The clever man had already figured out how to avoid the chaotic situation.

If Shen Yue were to do it in front of Yan Youyou...

The machete would probably be on the top of the head in the next second.

Shen Yue's ahoge (cowlick) swayed as she sat up straight and dipped her index finger in it.

Then, she held it to her nose, sniffed it lightly, gave a cold snort, and looked at him:

[The bento box contained food that had contaminated the "traded goods," making it unsuitable for experimentation.]

Jiang Ling: ?

666, how come it's like a deal with Du Ping?

"No, at most there's some oil on the bottom and the outside, right?" Jiang Ling looked down and glanced at it.

I didn't find anything about purity or impurity...

I said it's impure, and it is impure.

Your goods are... not up to standard!

Shen Yue's ahoge (cowlick) swayed slightly from side to side, expressing her dissatisfaction with the transaction.

Just then, the sound of a locker door closing came from the changing room.

Yan Youyou had already changed into the laboratory's cleanroom suit and was walking towards them while fixing her hair.

Seeing Shen Yue talking to Jiang Ling, Youyou subconsciously quickened her pace.

Jiang Ling turned her head, sighed helplessly, and said, "How about next time..."

Shen Yue stood up without saying a word, first stuffing the batch of goods into a drawer, then pulling his hand and dragging him into a small cubicle.

This scene, witnessed by Yan Youyou, inexplicably made her heart tighten.

It seems like something is about to slip away quietly.

"Um," Yan Youyou jogged over, asking worriedly, "What's wrong? Shen Yue... why are you pulling my boyfriend... is there anything you need help with?"

"Work," Shen Yue raised her purple eyes, her expression devoid of any emotion. "He needs to cooperate with me on something."

"Huh? What...?"

"This matter is an S-class secret; you have no right to know."

"Then I'll help too..."

"Yan Youyou." Shen Yue stopped, lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked up again: "I remember, the paper I asked you to organize isn't finished yet. Go and finish it now."

"I..." Yan Youyou was speechless for a moment.

For some reason, she had a feeling of unease. Her intuition told her that she couldn't let Ah Ling disappear from her sight like this.

If he disappears from sight.

It seems like something... irreversible is about to happen!

"Perhaps," Shen Yue said softly, her eyes closed and her ahoge (cowlick) swaying. "I might need to consider whether you can continue to perform this job... Your attitude towards your mentor is unacceptable."

Jiang Ling: ……

Holy crap, what is this?! "A highly respected old professor uses a lab job quota to secretly steal the girlfriend of his timid student. Ling Jun, you don't want your girlfriend to lose this job, do you? Just obey me, and I'll give your girlfriend a promotion and a raise!"

"I... well, may I ask what you want to do in the room?" Yan Youyou asked softly.

"Help me get my things."

"Huh?"

"He was tall and large, and could take out many heavy things, that's all..."

Oh, so you were moving heavy objects!

I thought... we were going to do something inside.

Yan Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I'll go work on my paper right now..."

Shen Yue pulled Jiang Ling, whose face was full of complicated emotions, into the room.

With a bang.

The door was closed.

For some reason, it also inexplicably shook Youyou's heart.

"Never mind, Ah Ling and Shen Yue aren't usually that close, so they probably don't have that kind of relationship... It's probably just that she helps carry heavy experimental equipment or something."

With that thought in mind, Yan Youyou completely dispelled her doubts and went to the room next to the small room to concentrate on organizing some biology papers.

At the same time, it's just a wall away.

Oh my god!

Jiang Ling thought to herself, if it were a typical bull-headed storyline, she should be making this shameful, nauseating sound. Her mind went blank, but then she immediately thought of her lover next door, and suppressed her voice in humiliation and helplessness...

That's amazing! That's incredible!

This is too inefficient. By the way, is it clean?

Jiang Ling: ?

"What are you going to do?"

[...] (Kawhi Leonard's famous scene)

After half an hour.

The two left the room.

Yan Youyou also finished organizing her thesis and handed it to Shen Yue, who was carrying a suitcase.

Does that mean the heavy object being moved was a suitcase?

"Ah Ling, is the stuff heavy? You're all sweaty..." Yan Youyou reached out and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I guess so. Um... Yu-Yu, I have to go to Haneda this afternoon, so please excuse me."

Feeling guilty, Jiang Ling lowered his head and gently kissed her.

—I'm sorry, Youyou, you're working hard next door, while I...sigh.

"Okay, bye-bye, Ah Ling~"

Yan Youyou returned his kiss with deep affection, her icy face blossoming like a pool of melting spring water, her smile incredibly adorable.

"The money has been transferred to your card," Shen Yue said calmly to Jiang Ling's retreating figure before leaving.

"No matter how much you say, it's still the same: let me take it."

She looks exactly like some lecherous old professors who are very cunning!

They really deserve to eat copper-headed leather belts...

"Uh..." Jiang Ling lowered her head, not daring to say more, afraid that Youyou would notice something, and quickly left.

In the afternoon, at 17:56 PM, in the domestic arrivals hall of Haneda International Airport.

Jiang Ling bought a KFC's newly launched "Orange Prosperity Rice Cake" and texted Lan Xinlan while eating it.

I've come to pick you up.

Please reply to this message after you get off the plane.

After pressing the send button, he looked up and gazed out at the airport's massive glass facade.

The autumn sky is clear and high, with a faint golden-red hue.

He ate the sweet and soft glutinous rice cakes while doing calculations.

There is still...

Approximately 1 hour and 13 minutes!
