"Senior sister, I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

Leng Yiyang approached Yan Xiluo with the data, clearly having encountered some problems.

"Okay, let me see."

Yan Xiluo nodded and took the data. She listened to Leng Yiyang raise his questions and patiently answered them one by one.

Leng Yiyang studied diligently throughout, and after her explanation, he finally understood.

"Oh! I see, so that's how it is! Thank you, senior sister!"

Leng Yiyang spoke excitedly, as if he had won the lottery; his eyes clearly showed his passion for the experiment.

"Senior Sister!"

Just then, it was time for Ziyu and Qingzhi to hand over their shifts, and the two of them greeted Yan Xiluo together.

"Ziyu, Qingzhi, it's been a long time."

Yan Xiluo responded gently; she was more gentle with girls.

"Senior sister, we all miss you!"

Ziyu pouted and acted coquettishly. Back in school, she had often pestered Yan Xiluo to explain things to her, and Yan Xiluo couldn't bear to refuse her because she was so cute.

"Hehe! I just finished checking the data and have to go now. How about I come see you another day? I'll treat you two to a big meal then!"

Yan Xiluo had no time to chat with her two junior sisters; she had other tasks to complete...

"Alright! See you next time, Senior Sister!"

Ziyu didn't bother Yan Xiluo because it was experimental time and there was no room for jokes. Qingzhi had already taken her seat at her work station.

Qingzhi is very serious and dedicated to her work; she is a completely different person when she enters the laboratory.

Seeing that Ziyu and Qingzhi had taken over the work, Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao prepared to leave the laboratory.

"Okay, good luck to you guys! I'm off!"

Yan Xiluo quickly followed Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao; if they were late, they might not be able to grab their hair!

Goodbye, Senior Sister!

Qingzhi then spoke up. Once inside the lab, she didn't chatter at all, even though she was quite talkative in her daily life.

She was incredibly quiet during experiments, which was really tough on her, but what could we do? She loved it!

She hurried to the lounge, quickly changed her clothes, and waited for Leng Yiyang to come out of the laboratory.

"Hey! Yi Yang, don't move!"

Yan Xiluo exclaimed in surprise, her expression very serious.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Leng Yiyang asked in confusion, "Why did Yan Xiluo tell me not to move... Could it be that there are bugs?"

No! He's afraid of bugs...

"Look at you, you've got gray hair from doing experiments! You really need to balance work and rest!"

Yan Xiluo stared intently at Leng Yiyang's hair, as if she were really seeing white hair.

It's hard not to believe...

"Huh? Really? Senior sister, don't scare me! I'm only twenty! I'm not even bald yet and I already have gray hair?"

As expected, Leng Yiyang's expression of shock and panic appeared instantly.

How could that be? How could that be? He's only twenty! So young and already so old?

"Let me pull it off and show you!"

Yan Xiluo spoke considerately, but in reality, she had already been eyeing the best place to strike.

"good!"

Leng Yiyang nodded, believing her completely. He especially trusted Yan Xiluo and also wanted to see if she really had gray hair...

"Look... hey! Why is it black! It probably looks white because of the light refraction! Yi Yang, sorry... I pulled out an extra one..."

Yan Xiluo carefully pinched two strands of hair and gently plucked them. She was worried that she might accidentally lose one strand, so she chose to use two strands as a precaution.

Then, feigning surprise, she looked at the pulled-out hair and then looked at Leng Yiyang with an apologetic expression.

Lan Jingyan, leaning against the door of the lounge, watched the whole scene. He almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but thankfully he didn't. He had already restrained himself and covered his mouth while watching Yan Xiluo's performance.

She does have some acting skills, Lan Jingyan shook her head helplessly, she's too cute...

"It's alright, senior sister, as long as it's not white hair! Hehe!"

Leng Yiyang took a look and saw it wasn't a gray hair! Great! He breathed a sigh of relief; plucking a few more wouldn't matter, as long as they weren't gray...

He secretly rejoiced.

"Did I hurt you?"

Yan Xiluo asked with genuine apology. She had been a bit too rough; each pore only has 2-3 hairs, and she had plucked two of them…

You'd probably feel something no matter what, right?

"It doesn't hurt! Hehe!"

Leng Yiyang chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head as he looked at Yan Xiluo. He felt strangely embarrassed to be so close to his idol...

Of course, his feelings for Yan Xiluo were pure. He was just an idol, and wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts.

"As compensation, I'll treat you and Zihao to a cup of coffee!"

Yan Xiluo still felt a little apologetic, but since it was still early, she thought it would be nice to invite them to have a drink together.

"Okay, thank you very much, senior sister. We'll go after Zihao comes out."

Leng Yiyang didn't refuse. It was his idol who had suggested it, so of course he couldn't refuse! He was overjoyed!

"good!"

Yan Xiluo nodded, and while Leng Yiyang wasn't paying attention, she stuck the two strands of hair onto the transparent tape she had prepared beforehand, also to prevent them from getting lost.

He then casually put his hands in his pockets.

At this moment, Lan Jingyan and Ye Zihao walked towards them together.

"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Lan Jingyan."

Yan Xiluo made no attempt to hide it, taking Lan Jingyan's hand in front of the two of them and introducing him to them.

"Ayan, these two are my junior brothers, Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao."

He then turned to Lan Jingyan and introduced Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao's identities.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao greeted Lan Jingyan in unison. They respected Yan Xiluo, and naturally they would also respect Yan Xiluo's boyfriend.

Yan Xiluo didn't say it was her fiancé because she was afraid of scaring them; things were progressing too fast.

By this calculation, Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao are actually two years older than Yan Xiluo! Yan Xiluo was exceptionally gifted, which is why she completed her doctoral degree so early.

"Hello. Your senior said she'd treat you to coffee, so I'll treat you to dessert instead. Shall we go?"

Having spent a lot of time with Yan Xiluo, Lan Jingyan's tone of voice has become much gentler. Even when meeting someone for the first time, he pays more attention to anyone Yan Xiluo knows.

Besides, her two junior brothers are so polite and have such high emotional intelligence that they've already called him brother-in-law, so he has to do something in return.

I'm not a stingy person...

"Brother-in-law, you're too kind!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Leng Yiyang and Ye Zihao followed Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo out of the laboratory, one after the other.

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Yan Xiluo made an excuse to go to the restroom.

After arriving at the restroom, she took out a transparent resealable bag and carefully removed the two strands of hair from the transparent tape and put them inside.

She then put it into the zippered pocket in her bag before leaving the restroom with peace of mind.
