"I'll go check the results of Huang Lian's experiments later. They haven't found it after so many years, maybe they're going in the wrong direction." Xu Zhaoyue really wiped each finger carefully.
Seeing the young lady's serious analysis, Yue Lanxing suddenly remembered their first meeting. The young lady stood on the steps, looking at him like a fairy. The halo of sunlight shining on the young lady was now shining on him as well.
"Ugh, I can't get this color off." The orange juice was yellow, and Xu Zhaoyue couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried. It looked unpleasant, so she got angrier and angrier as she rubbed.
Yue Lanxing could feel the young lady struggling with his hand. "Wait, young lady, I'll go wash my hands later." He quickly pulled his hand back. Xu Zhaoyue looked up at him blankly, only then realizing that her obsessive-compulsive disorder had acted up.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Yue Lanxing placed her left hand on top of her right hand and put it on her abdomen, taking the initiative to start the conversation, "There's one more thing I want to explain to Miss."
“You say it,” Xu Zhaoyue replied, her eyes still fixed on his hand.
"Because of this disease, I can't have contact with women, so I made up an excuse to drop out of school. Actually, my family is quite well-off. Later, when I was selected by the Xu Family Martial Arts School, I was thinking of entering the Xu family in a different way, hoping to get first-hand information on any medical advancements."
Yue Lanxing carefully considered his words, afraid that the young lady would think he had ulterior motives. However, Xu Zhaoyue didn't care about these things. She knew more than Yue Lanxing had imagined. She just enjoyed the pleasure of exploring secrets. But this time, the secret was not happy.
"Don't worry, I won't be angry. You've worked hard towards your goal without doing anything illegal, and your abilities are truly top-notch. It's just..." Xu Zhaoyue paused and sighed.
This sigh made Yue Lanxing's heart leap into her throat, hanging high in her chest as if it were about to jump out.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaoyue's next words were not as terrible as he had imagined; in fact, they were warm: "It's just that I can't help but think about how you used to be on edge when you were by my side. It must have been tough for you, right?"
Yue Lanxing's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't expected the young lady to think of this, and he was momentarily speechless. "Uh, no, my illness requires me to take medicine regularly, and being with the young lady has been quite peaceful and fulfilling."
Xu Zhaoyue didn't expect Yue Lanxing to answer like that. She wanted to say something but felt that nothing she said would be right. When she looked into Yue Lanxing's eyes, she noticed that his eyes were shining, like black gems sparkling against his sickly face.
"So you're satisfied, so eager to be with me?" Xu Zhaoyue couldn't help but ask. As soon as she said it, alarm bells went off in her mind, and she quickly changed the subject. "Ahem, well, it's understandable, it's understandable. You should rest first, I'll go check on the Coptis chinensis experiment."
After Xu Zhaoyue finished speaking, she immediately got up and walked to the door. Before opening the door, she took a deep breath and said, "Phew." Then she went out to talk to Huang Lian, who was standing at the door.
