In the dead of night, the entire campus fell silent. Shang Ning quietly entered the experimental building and went to the laboratory.
He skillfully turned on the instruments to test the data that Jing Kun and the others had mentioned.
The experiment was slow, and she had to wait while doing other things.
"Boss, what kind of place is this? There's even a laboratory here?" Jing Kun exclaimed in surprise.
"Stolen," Shang Ning replied to his question while observing the length of the shimmering light.
The laboratory door was suddenly opened, startling Shang Ning so much that she instinctively tried to turn off the equipment.
"Who goes there?" The security guard pushed the door open and frowned as he looked at the person inside.
Shang Ning: "..."
This is a bit awkward. I wasn't afraid of being found out before, but now it seems like I have no reason to say anything.
"It's my students doing the experiment, and I'm waiting for the results."
Before Shang Ning could speak, He Zhiyan had already arrived.
Shang Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and watched He Zhiyan come in from outside the door, then withdrew her hand that was about to turn off the instrument.
"Oh, it's Professor He. Are you still doing experiments so late?"
"It's already been recorded. We'll be using the lab for the next few days because we need the data."
"Okay, remember to lock the door when you leave," the security guard said before leaving.
Shang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and watched He Zhiyan enter. "Thanks."
After He Zhiyan went inside, he closed the door. "Are you still doing that experiment?"
Shang Ning nodded, looking down at the data. "Jin Yining helped me get some help, and I originally thought I could let it go."
He Zhiyan went over to help her adjust the equipment, but upon hearing her words, his hand paused as he adjusted the equipment. "You two... are together?"
"Huh?" Shang Ning looked up from the picture at He Zhiyan, and only after looking up did she realize what he had said. "Ah."
She murmured something, but it was unclear what she was responding to.
Are you together with Jin Yining?
It seems neither of them ever said they liked or loved each other.
But it seems that they really are together.
after all……
He Zhiyan lowered his eyes and pointed to an incorrect data point on her side.
"By the way, when did you get back?" Shang Ning looked up and changed the subject. "Have you finished your experiments over there?"
"It's almost finished, but..." He Zhiyan said, pursing his lips, a troubled look on his face.
Shang Ning was waiting for him, but something was making him hesitant to speak.
"It's good that it's coming to a good end. This is the first experiment you've participated in since you went there, and it's already coming to a good end so quickly. You'll have a better future over there. Why aren't you happy?" Shang Ning was genuinely happy for him. He Zhiyan shouldn't have been confined to such a small laboratory in the first place.
He Zhiyan leaned against the table, looking at Shang Ning who was smiling at him the whole time, and said, "I want to quit."
"What?" Shang Ning's smile vanished instantly. "Are you kidding me? That's a place so many people want to go!"
He Zhiyan fidgeted with his long, slender fingers, his eyes lowered. He had been back for two days and knew that Shang Ning was here, but he hadn't dared to go see her.
Looking at his downcast and silent appearance, Shang Ning felt that he also liked to stand in the corner and pick his fingers after being taught by An Li when he was a child.
"Zhiyan, what exactly happened?" Shang Ning frowned. "It's not related to me, is it?"
Shang Ning is truly terrified now, as if anyone in the world who gets involved with her will suffer misfortune; she could be the one facing a calamity.
