In the dark office, the figure was a dark mass.
The street lights outside the window shone faintly, and the lines of the chin had a sharp and gloomy angular feel.
Jian Ci's eyes flashed, and her body subconsciously tensed up, taking a defensive posture.
"Why are you awake so early?" A familiar but slightly hoarse voice sounded in the silent office.
Jian Ci was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
It turned out to be Qin Shizheng.
She casually turned on the switch on the wall, and the office lit up instantly.
The glaring light made Jian Ci subconsciously close her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Qin Shizheng sitting there, and he looked a little unhappy.
She walked to the sofa, picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table, and drank half of it until her thirst was quenched. Then she asked, "When did you come?"
"A little after one o'clock." Qin Shizheng lowered his eyes and went to the tea room nearby to pour a cup of warm water, then handed it to Jian Ci, "Don't drink it cold, it will give you a stomachache."
Then he reached out and tried to take the mineral water from her hand.
But as soon as their hands touched, Qin Shizheng's expression changed immediately. He grabbed her hand with his backhand and said in a deep voice, "Do you have a fever?"
Jian Ci touched her forehead but felt nothing. However, she did feel a little uncomfortable. "Probably."
Such a casual attitude made Qin Shizheng's expression a little stern, "You have a fever and you still drink cold water, do you think you are not sick enough?"
Jian Ci, who had never been scolded by Qin Shizheng in this tone before, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "It's because you have a fever that you should drink something cold. It will help reduce the fever."
Qin Shizheng glanced at her without any emotion. "What a twisted logic."
Then he called Wei Bei downstairs and asked him to buy some antipyretic medicine nearby.
About twenty minutes later, the medicine was bought back.
Qin Shizheng took the medicine instructions and read them carefully, then took out a capsule and handed it over. "It says to take one capsule at a time, twice a day."
Jian Ci couldn't help but find it funny seeing how serious he was. She took the medicine and put it directly into her mouth. She took a sip of warm water and swallowed it.
Then he asked, “Is this okay?”
Qin Shizheng took the cup from her hand, raised his chin towards the door of the lounge, and said, "Go in and sleep."
Jian Ci asked, "What about you?"
Qin Shizheng lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I'll be guarding here."
Jian Ci looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock. This guy had been guarding here all night.
If we continue to guard it, we will probably have to wait until noon.
So he asked, "How about we go together?"
Qin Shizheng's breathing was slightly choked, and his deep eyes darkened. "You are restless even when you are sick?"
When Jian Ci heard this, she knew that this guy must be overthinking it, and said speechlessly: "Just sleep, okay!"
She wanted to be restless, but given her current condition, how could she be restless?
Without waiting for Qin Shizheng's consent, he dragged him into the lounge.
By the time the two of them went to bed together, the sky outside the window had gradually begun to turn a deep navy blue.
Jian Ci pressed the remote control and pulled up the curtains.
The room fell into darkness again.
On the not-so-wide bed, Jian Ci was held in Qin Shizheng's arms.
The refreshing smell on him made her feel inexplicably at ease, and even the throbbing in her temples slowed down.
She finally spoke at this time, "You don't seem very happy."
Qin Shizheng said calmly: "No."
But how could Jian Ci believe it?
He was in a good mood in the corridor and even pretended to be sick in front of her to gain sympathy, but after arriving here, his mood was obviously much lower.
Something must have happened during this period of time.
So she asked decisively: "Did my senior brother say something?"
The room suddenly fell into silence for a moment.
The little girl is too sensitive.
Qin Shizheng felt that if he said no, she would not believe him.
So he took the opportunity to whisper, "Your senior brother doesn't seem to like me very much."
Jian Ci didn't know whether it was the effect of the medicine or the fact that Qin Shizheng was by her side that made her feel more at ease. She just felt a little sleepy, so she blurted out without thinking: "It would be wrong if he liked you..."
Qin Shizheng: "..."
Did this little girl do it on purpose or accidentally?
He was trying to sow discord here, but why did it change in her mouth?
Looking at the little girl's crow-feather eyelashes trembling and her appearance of being extremely sleepy, I sighed inwardly.
never mind.
So he tucked the quilt in, patted her back, and said, "Go to sleep."
After hearing Qin Shizheng's words, Jian Ci immediately adjusted her angle and fell into a deep sleep.
That quiet and well-behaved sleeping posture made Qin Shizheng's heart move slightly, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead lightly.
Then he patted her back again and again to coax her.
Gradually, after an unknown amount of time, Qin Shizheng fell asleep in this rare silence.
During this time, Lu Zongyan originally wanted to come over to look for someone, but thinking of Jian Ci's sleepy mood, he had to go and do other things first.
It was already afternoon when Jian Ci opened her eyes again.
Qin Shizheng was still sleeping next to him.
Jian Ci knew that he went to bed later than her, so she got up carefully and walked out of the lounge.
After washing up, she went to the laboratory.
Lu Zongyan was not in the laboratory at this time, but all the team members were there.
When Cao Hui saw her, he waved to her enthusiastically.
"Junior Sister! Why are you here today?"
Then the others immediately became alert.
"Junior sister, you haven't been here for a long time. Are you busy with your studies?"
"Junior sister, if you don't understand something, just tell me and I'll teach you."
"Come on, you almost failed your pharmacology course, and you still have the nerve to lecture me."
"A good man never brags about his past achievements, okay?"
…
Those people gathered around Jian Ci enthusiastically.
Jian Ci raised the corners of her lips slightly and said nothing.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Lu Zongyan's serious voice suddenly sounded from the door.
