The lab was unusually busy today, and an older researcher stopped in front of a door.
The younger researchers behind them swallowed hard as they looked at the door. This wasn't an ordinary door. It was connected to many electrical wires, which were now being disconnected one by one by the older researchers.
The two then whispered to each other, "You said the file you sent was fine, right? If the connection had been lost, I heard those two might not have made it back."
One of the new employees was amazed by the equipment but still somewhat unfamiliar with it: "Who are those two people? Does this door really close the broken space? If it succeeds, will our era be one step closer?"
The newcomer's questions all came out at once, and the person made a shushing gesture to tell him to be quiet: "It's Xi Xinxin from the Vaccine Research Institute and Chu Quanyi, who is undergoing this space research. Both of them are geniuses in our institute. Hey! It is said that Xi Xinxin even successfully developed a new vaccine in an unstable space."
The newcomer gaped, exclaiming, "My God!"
The equipment outside the door was completely removed. A blinding white light flashed. Everyone squinted uncomfortably.
The shattered space, like a wormhole, continued to swallow electrical wires. These wires were connected to Chu Quanyi's laboratory. She wouldn't cut them.
To everyone's surprise, two young women were lying on the floor to the left.
"Director! Are they still breathing?"
The man addressed as the director glared at the person who had asked the question: "What are you talking about? These are experimental results, how can anything happen to them? Go, take them to the nearest medical room."
"They are not experimental results."
Xi Xinxin rested in the lab for a while and drank some porridge before rushing over with Chu Quanyi. In real life, she exuded a more composed and mature aura. The way she wore her clothes around her neck seemed like that of a natural leader.
"Bring these two to my medical room. I've already sent all the vaccine-related documents to you, Director. These two must stay with me." Xi Xinxin's tone was firm and brooked no argument.
The directors exchanged glances. Xi Xinxin's abilities far surpassed theirs; they were merely directors because they had joined the company earlier. Therefore, many things were left to Xi Xinxin's discretion.
But this time it concerns the follow-up to the space issue: "Xi Xinxin, you can't let personal feelings get involved. There are things about these two people that we can study."
Seeing that the two were about to be sent away, the others unconsciously stepped forward. Chu Quanyi blocked their way and gave Xi Xinxin a look.
“Directors, I created the system for this space. I am the one who has all the research results. I think you don’t want others to know that you conduct research on people, do you?”
One of the directors wanted to argue, since he always felt that what he was seeing was just pre-set data.
Chu Quanyi noticed their confusion and had several influential figures follow him.
So Xi Xinxin took Zhang Suxiang and Xu Chacha to her medical room. Both of them were breathing steadily and were fine.
After Chu Quanyi finished dealing with the matter, it was already evening. He ordered two takeout meals and went to the cafeteria in the lobby to call Xi Xinxin.
Xi Xinxin quickly changed into her casual clothes and came out. There weren't many people in the lobby or cafeteria at this time. The two chose a relatively empty seat next to them.
"Are those two still not awake?" Chu Quanyi started unpacking the takeout.
Xi Xinxin shook her head: "But everything seems pretty good. I guess it will take a couple of days for their bodies to gradually adapt to this world."
Chu Quanyi then gave a brief talk about the new press conference, saying that once everything had settled down, both of them would definitely need to appear at the press conference.
"Also, Jiang Moli heard that we're out and his brother has fully recovered, and he wants to thank you." Chu Quanyi paused, then added, "You know how small this world is, Xinxin?"
Xi Xinxin didn't understand what she was sighing about: "If you don't finish your sentence at once, you'll be constipated for three days."
Chu Quanyi: "..."
“Jiang Moli’s younger brother, Jiang Anhe, has a girlfriend who has never abandoned him.” Chu Quanyi took a breath and continued, “This girlfriend was attacked by human traffickers before, and because of the trauma, she lost some of her childhood memories. I don’t know if it’s because she also remembered them, but she quickly started treatment.”
Upon hearing this, Xi Xinxin put down her chopsticks and looked at Chu Quanyi.
"His girlfriend quickly remembered that she had a little girl she really liked when she was a child, named Xi Xinxin."
Xi Xinxin knew that Chu Quanyi would find out about what she had told the system that time. But she never expected that Chu Quanyi would help her find the person.
She is still Jiang Anhe's girlfriend.
She said she wanted to see you.
Xi Xinxin lowered her head and continued eating without saying a word for a long time. To be honest, she didn't know what kind of expression she should wear when facing that person.
"when?"
The weather was perfect, a clear and sunny day. Their press conference had just ended, during which someone had deliberately made things difficult for them. The fact that these two young women could go to such lengths made them suspicious.
"Technology is developing, a new era is beginning, but your thinking remains stagnant. I recommend you go back to the Qing Dynasty." Xi Xinxin's words infuriated those people.
But we have no choice but to comply.
As Xi Xinxin emerged from the press conference, she noticed a woman standing at the entrance, surrounded by a large group of reporters waiting to interview her and Chu Quanyi.
Upon seeing Chu Quanyi, the woman immediately recognized who was beside her. She stepped forward and said, "I couldn't wait any longer, so I came to the door to wait for you."
She extended her hand to Xi Xinxin: "Long time no see, Xi Xinxin~"
When she actually met the person, she realized that all her pretense of politeness was just a facade. Xi Xinxin moved her stiff body and took the person's hand.
Those guilt-inducing past events surfaced in my mind.
Xi Xinxin couldn't help but hug the person: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. If only I had been braver back then."
Chu Quanyi shook his head helplessly behind her, stepped forward and patted Xi Xinxin on the back. When she met the woman's smiling face, she smiled back.
“Xi Xinxin, I have never blamed you, but you should also pay more attention to the people around you. There are many people who care about you. You are never alone.”
The group enjoyed a lively meal together. On the way back, Jiang Anhe wanted to see Xi Xinxin and Chu Quanyi off, but his girlfriend stopped him.
His girlfriend winked at her: "Give them some time alone."
Chu Quanyi suggested they walk back to digest their food. Xi Xinxin's rented apartment was nearby. Her cat was already home and waiting for her.
"Aren't you going back? Come home with me?" Even though they had reached the fork in the road, Chu Quanyi was still following behind Xi Xinxin.
She grinned and moved closer to her: "Can I go home with you today?"
Xi Xinxin thought for a moment, then realized that Chu Quanyi could also sleep on the sofa: "Of course!"
Chu Quanyi shouted excitedly, but in the blink of an eye, he could only stare at the sofa and mutter to himself.
"Waaaaaah, what's wrong with two girls sleeping together?"
Unable to get a response from Xi Xinxin, she then rubbed her cat: "Honey, don't you think so~ your owner isn't very good?"
The cat meowed a few times in response.
Zhang Suxiang and Xu Chacha finally woke up a week later. Xi Xinxin looked different from how she looked in their world; she had matured a lot.
No matter how Xu Chacha tried to describe it, she realized how vast the gap was between herself and Xi Xinxin. She also understood why Xi Xinxin never considered romance. She simply treated them like children.
The child she raised would like her? That's absurd, Xu Chacha chuckled self-deprecatingly. Then she cheered herself up: she's young! What if Xi Xinxin likes the younger type?
"You two, would you like to officially become my and Quan Yi's students?"
Zhang Suxiang and Xu Chacha both have excellent learning abilities and quickly adapted to the technology of this world. They have been staying in the research institute's dormitory for the past few days.
After studying for a few months, the two went from being penniless to having some savings.
"Xinxin~ I want to live with you, how about we share an apartment? Think about it, it'll give your cat more space to move around, right? And it'll be easier for you to teach me if I'm with you~" Xu Chacha winked.
Chu Quanyi gripped her chopsticks tightly, wondering if letting Xu Chacha come was the right choice: "I'm your research professor, right? If you're going to share an apartment, shouldn't you share with me, Chacha?"
"Oh dear, Mr. Quan Yi, you know I'm a bit dependent on Xi Xin Xin. I'd be so worried if I lived with you, Mr. Quan Yi~ Xin Xin~ Mr. Quan Yi, you're so strict when you teach~"
Zhang Suxiang ate her meal silently, trying to stay away from this farce.
Xi Xinxin smiled and said, "Shall we live together?"
She has enough savings to buy a house for four people to live in.
They are all still very young. Life goes on. The road ahead will surely be smooth sailing.
