Shen Yanming simply responded without offering any further explanation.
The two embraced each other during the sweltering midday heat, and despite being drenched in sweat from the summer heat, they still fell into a deep sleep.
When the alarm rang, Shen Yanming quickly turned it off, but it still woke up Qiao An, who was already having trouble sleeping.
She asked groggily, "Is it time?"
Shen Yanming hummed in agreement: "Go back into the space and sleep for a while. It's too uncomfortable outside without air conditioning."
He's sweating profusely on his chest and under his armpits, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. I imagine his wife feels the same way.
I really regret not going into my social media space during my afternoon nap because I thought it was too much trouble.
Bi Qiaoan knew she couldn't use the air conditioner right now. She threw back the thin summer quilt, but didn't feel any coolness. Feeling a bit dizzy, she slipped into her spatial dimension.
Seeing that the person on the bed had disappeared, Shen Yanming smiled and went into the bathroom. He spent two minutes rinsing off the sweat with hot water, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave for work.
Remembering his wife's suggestion of sunscreen and makeup base, he decided to give it a try. After applying moisturizer to his face, he took out a men's sunscreen from his storage space, squeezed out a pea-sized amount according to the instructions, and gently patted it onto his face.
By the time we finished doing all that, about five minutes had passed.
Shen Yanming was taken aback. He hadn't expected that simply applying something to his face would take longer than taking a full shower.
I don't know if it's because he's not skilled enough, or if applying these random things just takes time.
I think it must be the latter. Otherwise, why would some women spend several hours putting on makeup before going out?
Fortunately, Qiao An usually goes makeup-free, maybe just applying some moisturizer. But even with that clean and fresh look, she's prettier than others.
She's naturally beautiful; you can only envy such a lovely color!
Shen Yanming was secretly pleased and no longer cared about the thick layer of sunscreen on his face and the oily feeling on his skin.
He suffered a sunburn in the morning, his arms and cheeks turning red. In the afternoon, he put on sun-protective clothing to cover his arms.
As for his face, well, he did think about using a parasol, but the guards were all grown men who could all endure the scorching sun. If he used a small flowery umbrella, wouldn't he just be giving them something to talk about?
Moreover, it truly damages his image as a wise and powerful figure.
Of course, that's a bit of self-praise. But Shen Yanming genuinely didn't want to be different. After all, becoming an oddball rarely ends well.
He probably shared the same thought as most of the guards. Along the way, everyone they encountered, except for the women who, regardless of age, carried a parasol, was mostly men with their wives using the parasols.
Everyone knows the sun is strong, but everyone still cares about their image.
Comrade Shen was also quite helpless. If he weren't working in the guard team, he certainly wouldn't force himself to conform to everyone else. But that's the situation now; he had no choice but to follow suit.
With no other option, he quickened his pace to reduce his exposure to sunlight.
When he entered the office, he saw his colleagues slumped in their seats, not wanting to do anything.
Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and they fanned themselves incessantly with fans, as if that still couldn't dispel the heat, and they stuck out their tongues like dogs.
Seriously, they've completely abandoned any semblance of image.
In contrast, Shen Yanming appeared relaxed, as if unaffected by the high temperature. But he was only putting on an act; in reality, he really wanted to go into the cold storage for a while.
Although the air conditioning was on in the office, they all knew that the temperature should not be lowered, especially in hot weather, otherwise it would be too easy to get heatstroke or catch a cold.
Rather than getting sick from staying in the cold, it's better to sit down and cool down slowly.
Shen Yanming sat down and reached into his backpack to take out a glass of watermelon juice.
Although this watermelon juice wasn't refrigerated, because it was produced in this space, it naturally has a cooling and refreshing effect. Even at room temperature, it tastes icy cold.
Because it was in an opaque thermos, none of his colleagues in the office noticed what he had drunk. They only noticed a sudden, refreshing scent, but couldn't pinpoint its source.
After drinking the watermelon juice, the heat in his body subsided considerably. He took out the data he had recorded at noon and went to find Guo Tingshuo.
Captain Guo was not surprised at all by Shen Yanming's arrival, after all, the investigation report before he joined the company showed that he was a very meticulous person.
If we do find something unusual, it wouldn't be surprising.
Shen Yanming handed the small piece of paper to Guo Tingshuo and shared his guess. Guo Tingshuo smiled and nodded, also sharing some information about his situation.
It turns out that this morning, not only Meng Wu showed abnormalities, but more than a dozen guards in the escort team also showed varying degrees of facial flushing.
They were sent to a medical team for unified care. After examination, the medical team boldly guessed that they were allergic to sunlight.
But how could a perfectly healthy person suddenly become allergic to sunlight?
Also, is there a sun allergy, with no other symptoms besides facial redness?
While the conclusion sounds reasonable, what were the underlying causes that led to this result?
Can people who used to be able to walk freely in the sun suddenly become allergic to sunlight?
Although the medical team discovered the irritating effect of sunlight on the skin, they did not make any further research due to the limited sample size, so the news was not made public for the time being.
Of course, the limited time and lack of supporting data also played a role. After all, only a few hours have passed since the person with the red face was discovered.
Guo Tingshuo expressed his gratitude to Shen Yanming and sent the data on the paper to the medical team after he left so that they could use it as a reference.
After returning to his office, Shen Yanming focused on his work and completely forgot about the matter.
He's not a researcher; it's already quite an achievement that he can provide some data. He can't do more than that.
However, things didn't end as he had hoped. Before it was even time to leave work, everyone's faces started to turn red and itchy.
That level is far superior to Meng Wu's.
At least Meng Wu's face only turned red, not itchy. But after they scratched it a few times, their skin started to swell up with transparent bumps, inside which was a visible yellow liquid.
Is this an abscess?
A young man looked at the boils on his arm and was somewhat frightened.
But thinking back to how I used to get boils on my feet during training sessions, I would just prick them with a needle and squeeze out the pus.
So he opened the drawer, took out a toothpick, and poked the boil...
Guo Tingshuo saw this "surprise" as soon as he entered the door. Before he could even say "Don't move," pus started flowing from Miao Yifeng's boil. He was so angry that he cursed out loud.
