"Yu Lan? Yu Lan?"
The gentle call in her ear brought Yu Lan back to her senses a little. She turned her head and saw Shen Cheng looking at her with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded."
At this time, the two of them were grinding coffee in the office, and Meng Nian was sleeping on a small bed in the corner of the office. The beaker on the table was filled with the coffee that Yu Lan had just ground, and bubbles were surging under the high temperature of the flame.
"Ah... sorry, I was just thinking about something." Yu Lan replied in a low voice.
"If you're tired, you should take a good rest these two days. Your dark circles are getting heavier." Shen Cheng couldn't help but say with some worry.
"Well, the previous experiment has broken through the bottleneck, and I estimate that the finished product will be available soon. Other projects can be put aside for the time being. It's time for me to have a good rest." Yu Lan felt a little warm in her heart. It was the first time she felt happy because someone else was worried about her.
However, Yu Lan's joy was not expressed on her face, and she still had that calm expression: "Chen Cheng, thank you. After coming back from playing outside all day yesterday, I really feel that my thoughts on many things have become much clearer."
After thinking over and over again all night, Yu Lan figured it out and no longer cared whether Shen Cheng's words were a confession of love to her. It was enough to just maintain the current relationship.
At least, even if you are not lovers, you can still be the most sincere friends who can care for and support each other.
Since Shen Cheng chose to always stand by her side, believe in her and support her, she would naturally return the favor and always believe in and support Shen Cheng.
Seeing that the coffee was almost ready, Yu Lan extinguished the flame, picked up the beaker, and poured half a cup into each of the two cups that had been placed: "Come and have a taste."
"Yeah." Shen Cheng smiled and nodded, picked up the cup, blew away the cool air, and took a small sip.
As the faint mellow fragrance spread in his mouth, Chen Cheng's brows relaxed slightly, and he nodded and smiled at Yu Lan: "It tastes very good."
It seems that Yu Lan can finally give up the dark coffee she made before.
"As long as you like it." Yu Lan picked up another cup and took a sip, but the next moment, her brows furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that it was unpalatable. In fact, it was much better than the coffee she had made before. But... compared to what Shen Cheng made, there was still some gap.
Secretly vowing in her heart that she would catch up with Chen Cheng in the future, Yu Lan put down her coffee and suddenly said to Chen Cheng: "Come to think of it, Chen Cheng, you are not used to using the short knife provided by the Institute of Biological Sciences, right?"
After all, the Institute of Biological Sciences has never trained Shen Cheng in this area of combat, and Shen Cheng has always used the martial arts passed down by his Shen family.
In fact, the martial arts practiced by Shen Cheng were still inferior to the fighting techniques of the Institute of Biological Sciences. After all, the fighting techniques of the Institute of Biological Sciences were a combination of the strengths of hundreds of schools, and mixed with many killing skills, including martial arts techniques passed down from generation to generation by awakened people.
Chen Cheng nodded: "I am not very good at using this kind of short weapon, but the advantage is that the short sword is very light. With my physique, I can achieve good results just by chopping randomly."
"The weapons you've been practicing with are sticks, right?" Yu Lan rubbed her temples. She actually wanted to customize a suitable weapon for Chen Cheng, but sticks... were a bit too inconvenient to carry.
The stick used in the stick technique that Shen Cheng practiced was definitely not something that could be replaced by a telescopic stick.
Come to think of it, she had never seen Shen Cheng use the stick techniques he had learned in actual combat.
Well... the time when we used the dung shovel in the western region doesn't count.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it." Seeing Yu Lan's thoughts, Chen Cheng smiled faintly and said, "At worst, I can go back and learn the dagger fighting techniques from Liu Su. Besides, aren't sticks everywhere? When I really need them, I can just pick up a steel stick or a wooden stick."
——How can it possibly fit together...
Yu Lan sighed, planning to think of some solutions after Chen Cheng returned: "By the way, you will have to go to Hongguo to carry out a mission in a while. Remember to ask Liusu for some experience in carrying out missions, just in case, don't be so reckless."
"I understand." Shen Cheng agreed. He was well aware of the importance of this task and could not afford to slack off.
During the rest of the time, Chen Cheng drank coffee and chatted with Yu Lan in the office. Before he knew it, it was time for Chen Cheng to return to Mio City.
"I should go." After checking the time, Shen Cheng said to Yu Lan.
"It feels like time has passed so quickly..." Yu Lan murmured, then nodded to Chen Cheng and said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
"Remember to have a good rest." After leaving a word, Chen Cheng left her office. As the office door closed automatically, Chen Cheng's figure disappeared from Yu Lan's sight.
As Shen Cheng left, the office immediately fell silent.
Yu Lan took a sip of coffee and glanced at the office door again. Somehow, she felt a little empty in her heart.
He stood up and was about to continue the unfinished experiments, but Yu Lan suddenly remembered something and paused.
"Go and have a rest..." Yu Lan murmured to herself, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she turned and walked towards the small bed in her office.
…
Because they had to drive back, Chen Cheng could only let Meng Nian inconvenience him and let her hide in his body again. Then he collected Meng Nian's clothes and went to meet Liu Su.
Shao Silin was naturally there too. Chen Cheng had hardly seen Shao Silin in the past two days. According to Nana, Shao Silin often went to find the group of new special agents who were Wolf Fantasy sub-fit people in the past few days after he came back, and they quickly became friends.
At this time, Liusu looked back and forth between Shen Cheng and Shao Silin, and suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up slightly.
Wait, Shen Cheng mentioned his new car, so he must drive his own car back. Shao Silin’s car has also been repaired, so he definitely can’t give it up.
If I take Shen Cheng's car, wouldn't that be a chance to be alone?
"Um..." Liu Su was about to speak, but she saw Chen Cheng turn his head, smiled and waved, and shouted: "Xin Sheng!"
Then, a pretty figure trotted over to Shen Cheng's side.
tassel:"……"
"Dr. Yan has agreed to let me take Xinsheng and Yingyu with me. Unfortunately, Yingyu is more troublesome to take care of, so I have to ask the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences to help. Fortunately, I can take Xinsheng with me directly."
After Shen Cheng explained, he looked at Liusu again: "By the way, Liusu, what did you want to say just now?"
"Let me take your car. On the way, I can tell you about my experience in carrying out missions." Liusu answered calmly. In fact, her tail had already wilted behind her, and she looked a little listless.
