Chapter 13 Colleagues
The near-death feeling of severing one's clone made Qi An shudder, and he was brought back to reality.
In reality, the pollution levels in Tanfu did not surge, suggesting that the pollution data this time was not very high.
The morning was spent listening to monotonous broadcasts and annoying buzzing noises.
At 11 o'clock, the guard outside announced via pager: "It's time for lunch."
Tan Fu did not take off his helmet immediately, but remained sitting there, letting his mind wander.
The announcement urged them twice, and Tan Fu's helmet went out.
Forced power outage.
She ripped off her helmet, intending to throw it aside, but instead didn't. With a sullen face, she gently put it down.
Upon leaving, they encountered a group of guards, and Qi An ate with them.
During the meal, she chatted with Tan Fu for a few minutes, and the little girl was much more friendly to her than yesterday.
In this situation, Qi An thought she should accompany Tan Fu for a nap to further solidify their close relationship, but then someone from the life services department came over and whispered to her:
"Dr. Qi doesn't need to accompany you for your afternoon nap. You can take this time to rest for a while or go for a walk."
After the staff finished speaking, Tan Fu walked to the entrance of the Crystal House surrounded by guards.
She didn't go in immediately, but turned back to look at Qi An.
The people from the logistics department didn't say anything, but just tugged at Qi An's clothes from behind. Qi An simply smiled at Tan Fu and then turned around.
After Qi An took a few steps out, he looked back and saw that Tan Fu had already entered the room and slumped heavily onto the bed.
Qi An refused the staff's offer to lead the way and slowly wandered through the maze-like passageways, eventually arriving at the cafeteria.
Tan Fu's shifts in the morning, noon, and evening are not fixed. Today, his morning shift ended very early.
Qi An had already finished eating and had been wandering around for 10 minutes when the cafeteria finally opened for lunch.
All positions operate on a shift system, and the cafeteria wasn't crowded. Qi An had only glanced at it initially when he heard a voice:
"Hey, Dr. Qi? Dr. Qi, are you coming for dinner? Over here!"
Qi An looked up and saw a young man with messy hair, holding a bowl, half-standing up and waving at her.
Qi An didn't recognize the person, but she immediately realized that this person might have recognized her from the surveillance footage.
Since the other party specified her name, she had no choice but to agree and go.
The cafeteria had long tables set up separately, and Liu Ye wasn't the only one at his table.
He was very generous when he greeted people, but when Qi An approached, he became shy and hesitant for some reason.
The man in military uniform next to him reached out and said, "My name is Song Fanyu, and I am the security director of 'Star Fortress.' This is Liu Ye, a senior engineer."
Qi An shook hands with him, hesitated slightly, and then Liu Ye quickly forced himself to speak:
"Sit here, sit here."
He only said those few words, and when Qi An sat down beside him, his cheeks flushed even more, and his lips turned as red as a clam shell.
"Thanks to Dr. Qi, the research institute is able to operate normally today."
"Dr. Qi's supernatural abilities are quite impressive," Song Fanyu said, giving Qi An a thorough once-over.
Qi An simply smiled and said, "It's all part of the mission."
Liu Ye smelled a faint fragrance from the food and felt dizzy. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qi An's hand on the table and thought of Tan Fu's shock yesterday. Tan Fu was curled up on the woman's lap, sleeping soundly.
Ah, spiritual comfort, what a pleasure that is!
He's been through so many days of overtime work, he needs some emotional support too!
It was this gentle and beautiful purifier who comforted me...
Liu Ye's face turned even redder, and he tried to pry open his mouth, but Song Fanyu spoke first:
"If Dr. Qi has time, would you... would you accept appointments for routine purification procedures?"
Liu Ye remembered that Song Fanxing was always practical, and with a high-quality purification opportunity right in front of him, how could he let it go!
He thought to himself, but seeing the cold and aloof soldier opposite him being polite and gentle today, he couldn't help but be wary, yet he couldn't help but look at Qi An expectantly.
Both pairs of eyes were full of expectation and longing, making Qi An want to make a offer for them for a moment.
If she had clearly marked prices, she would definitely make a fortune.
Despite thinking this way, she said, "There's time now, but it won't be available once Tan Fu wakes up from his afternoon nap."
"If you want purification, reach out now."
The two were immediately overjoyed!
Liu Ye was a little slow to react, and Song Fanyu first lowered his right hand and presented it to Qi An.
