After coming out of the bathroom, Leixia returned to the Kiku laboratory and found that the professor had disappeared.
"Where's the professor?"
“Ah! Ahhh!”
The ghost pointed at the door and shouted twice in an incomprehensible language.
"Take Fang Ming to the breeding room to see the experimental subjects."
Xiuqing rubbed her temples. The densely packed codes gave her a headache. She could only sigh that Professor Corinna was truly a genius.
Shaking his head, Xiuqing looked at the absent-minded Leixia.
The girl, who had a somewhat gloomy personality, had a visibly rosy complexion after seeing Fang Ming, and her mental state did not look as dispirited as usual.
Girls of this age are always sensitive when it comes to feelings.
Leixia sorted out the documents in her hands, occasionally glancing toward the laboratory door, somewhat absent-mindedly, eager to make a move...
"How did you and Fang Ming meet?"
Xiuqing simply turned off the device, leaned her face against the console with her palms supporting her face, and chatted with Leixia out of boredom.
Leixia was obviously a little surprised, and found it difficult to speak when faced with Xiuqing's question.
"Uh, it was a misunderstanding. I accidentally offended him, and that's how we... met."
The girl lowered her head, letting her messy short golden hair cover her face as much as possible, so as not to let the other person see her embarrassment and guilt.
Xiuqing stretched herself lazily, her loose coat could not hide her slender figure.
"Well, you must have suffered a lot. That guy can't stand it, but now it seems like you're getting along well... Get me a glass of water, thank you."
Leixia poured a glass of cold liquor and handed it over with both hands. She looked at the woman with a cool temperament and asked cautiously,
"You seem to know him well. Have you known him long?"
Xiuqing took a sip of water, thanked him, and his eyes fell into a moment of reminiscence.
"I've known him for quite a while. He's probably the person in this manor who's known him the longest... No, there's also the guy in the dungeon..."
Leixia had no idea about Fang Ming's past, but she couldn't help but explore it.
"What kind of person do you think he is?"
Xiuqing looked at her silently, as if thinking about how to answer this question.
Leixia waved her hands hurriedly, "I was just talking nonsense, please don't mind..."
"Nothing, but your question really stumped me."
Xiuqing's tone was somewhat nostalgic.
"At that time, he was a hard laborer. He was always dirty when he came back from the construction site every day, but he would still come to my free clinic to work for free. He would always glance at me in the crowd, timid and shy."
Leixia took a deep breath, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Are you talking about Fang Ming?"
Xiuqing smiled serenely, "After that, I didn't see him for several days. When I saw him again, it was already several days after the apocalypse."
Seeing Leixia's dazed look, she put her hand on the girl's shoulder, pulled her to her side, and whispered a secret that no one knew in her ear in a delicate tone.
"At that time, I was huddled in a corner of the warehouse in a panic, watching him appear out of nowhere. The guy who wanted to bully me was cut several times and died of pain."
"And then, do you know what happened?"
"What?" Leixia's tone was a little impatient, her heart was pounding, and she looked at Xiuqing eagerly.
"Fang Ming, the warehouse clerk, looked at me with an aggressive gaze. It was cold, hungry, and terrifying... I was completely devoured."
The laboratory fell into silence for a moment. Leixia looked at the cold and elegant woman, and for a moment she was hesitant to speak.
"Do you... know that I'm in the dungeon?"
Xiuqing patted Leixia's shoulder and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."
