Gu Nian's expression was cracked; this must be the most embarrassing moment of her two lives!

Most importantly, what do you call this: dying before even starting a mission?

Yan Mo is a really... how should I put it?

You can't force him to like you!

If you don't have someone you like, you can slowly cultivate feelings. But if you have someone you like and then try to cultivate feelings for someone else, wouldn't that make you a mistress?

Yan Mo looked at Gu Nian, whose face was pale, and said apologetically, "Miss Gu, I am not good with words. If my words have displeased you, I apologize. However, I just don't want to see a good girl waste her time on me. It's unnecessary and not worth it."

Yan Mo is a simple person; if things are explained clearly, there won't be so much trouble.

Gu Nian had helped him, and he remembered that kindness, so he was willing to patiently explain.

He probably wouldn't even bother with anything else.

He did indeed have someone he liked, so no matter how good his feelings were, he couldn't get entangled with her, and he certainly couldn't waste her time.

Gu Nian suddenly laughed: "Haha, hahaha, General Yan, actually, I've never liked anyone before, really. When I saw you in the camp that day, my heart suddenly started racing, and I thought I liked you. Maybe it was because we were afraid of being discovered when we sneaked into the camp, and I was nervous, so my heart was racing. That was probably my mistaken perception! General Yan, you don't need to feel guilty. I'm not the kind of person who pesters people, really."

Now that Gu Nian said that, I really feel that apart from that time, I haven't felt my heart race like that at other times!

Sigh, she's such a newbie when it comes to love, she just doesn't understand.

Yan Mo smiled slightly, "That's good then. I wish Miss Gu finds her Mr. Right soon! Thank you again for your help. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave!"

Gu Nian waved her hand: "General Yan, take care, I won't see you off!"

Yan Mo twitched her lips. What a pragmatic girl! She entered with a radiant smile, but made it clear that she wasn't even offering to see him off.

However, he didn't mind.

...

That evening, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian noticed that Gu Nian was acting strangely. This girl went back to the lab after dinner? Didn't she used to go for a walk to eat?

Even Empress Dowager Jiang noticed that Gu Nian was acting strangely, but she had been at the old house all day and didn't know what was going on. Could it be that the two girls had a fight?

The three of them looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin: "...I don't know either. General Yan came by this afternoon and spoke to my sister alone for a few minutes. Then my sister passed away like this."

Cai Xiaolian nodded: "I understand, I'll go check on her!"

Gu Xin: "Mom, I'll go with you too! My sister ignored me just now. But it seems like she doesn't talk to anyone."

Cai Xiaolian smiled and said, "I'll go first, and then I'll call you after I've found out!"

Gu Xin had no choice but to agree.

Gu Shouxin took out a chessboard and pulled Gu Xin over to play chess.

When Cai Xiaolian arrived at the lab, she saw Gu Nian hunched over the table, engrossed in her work, seemingly writing something.

She quietly went over to take a look.

Well, the various molecular formulas she wrote down and the various cell structure diagrams she drew were completely incomprehensible to her.

Cai Xiaolian shook her head helplessly, sat down on a chair, and quietly watched her PhD daughter.

Top students are different; their ways of venting are different from normal people.

Her Niannian is really amazing! She's been in this world for so long, yet she can still clearly remember what she's learned.
