Chapter 417 Master Shang: I almost lost my humanity tonight.
After Shang Shiyan left.
Pei Jinwu stood there for a long time before she composed herself and returned to the laboratory.
"Wuwu, do you want to take a break?" the director asked with concern.
She had just returned from Independence Island, a long journey that left her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Need not."
Pei Jinwu shook her head, closing her sterile protective suit as she spoke, and said indifferently, "Let's begin."
Over the next few days.
To ensure the successful cultivation of the medicinal plants, Pei Jinwu practically slept in the laboratory.
He said he was sleeping, but he never actually fell asleep.
Habits are truly terrifying.
For example, her.
Leaving Shang Shiyan felt like having my soul and spirit ripped out.
finally.
After several days of effort, the grafted seedlings of the A-N0 medicinal plant successfully sprouted.
A total of ten plants.
Even if it fails again, there is a backup plant for treatment.
"Wuwu, there's nothing wrong with the medicinal plants right now, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself." The director said with concern, "You haven't slept well for several days, go back and catch up on your sleep tonight, I'll keep an eye on things here personally."
"We'll see—"
The director leaned forward and said in a low voice, "It wouldn't be right to keep Mr. Shang waiting at the door every night."
"What?"
Pei Jinwu's neck movement froze, and she cast a questioning glance at him.
"From the moment you entered the lab, Mr. Shang has been waiting for you at the door every night. What, you didn't know?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu frowned, put down her things, and turned to walk out.
In the pitch-black courtyard.
A tall, upright figure stood beneath a withered sycamore tree, with fallen leaves landing on his shoulders.
The cool moonlight elongated the man's shadow, its outline shimmering with a faint, eerie light.
"..."
Seemingly sensing her presence, the man suddenly turned around, and the moment he saw her, he strode forward with his long legs.
"Are you done with work?"
Seeing that she was dressed so lightly, Shang Shiyan immediately took off his coat and wrapped her up completely in it, the warm coat still warm from his body.
What are you doing here?
Pei Jinwu stood with her hands hanging at her sides, craning her neck to look at him.
"Isn't this because I was worried you wouldn't be able to sleep at night?" Shang Shiyan brushed the stray hairs from her forehead and noticed the dark circles under her eyes. He said with heartache, "It's a pity there can't be too much carbon dioxide in the lab, otherwise I would have gone in to keep you company."
Judging from her complexion, she didn't sleep well.
"The director should have told you that I won't be leaving the lab for the next few days." Pei Jinwu's pink lips trembled, her voice hoarse: "Won't this be a waste of time?"
What does it have to do with anything?
Shang Shiyan shook his head, looked down at the girl with tenderness, and took her wrist as they walked towards the lounge: "I just want to assure you that you can see me anytime you come out."
Pei Jinwu frowned.
For this, are you willing to stand in the cold wind until dawn for several days in a row?
Stupid man.
"I heard the cultivation of the medicinal plant was very successful?"
As Shang Shiyan prepared bathwater for Pei Jinwu, he whispered, "Don't worry, the antidote will definitely be successfully made."
"The water's ready, let's take a bath."
The man turned around and found Pei Jinwu staring at him quietly, her eyes revealing a strange emotion.
"What's wrong?" Shang Shiyan stepped forward, touched her forehead with his palm, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu continued to stare at him, and after a few seconds, she suddenly hooked her arm around the man's neck, stood on tiptoe, and sealed his incessantly chattering lips with a kiss.
"..."
Shang Shiyan's body stiffened, and before he could react, the little girl pushed him forward.
With her legs braced against the edge of the bed, her body fell backward uncontrollably.
The two people's posture.
Female on top.
Male, below.
Shang Shiyan held the girl's waist, his dark eyes slightly narrowed.
Although Wuwu had taken initiative before.
But most of the time, it's just a superficial effort, a perfunctory gesture.
They came on strong today, like they were going to "eat people up".
With a beauty in his arms, Shang Shiyan lost all reason and turned the tables, taking the initiative instead of being passive.
He wants to be a human being, provided that—
Don't mess with this girl.
Just as Shang Shiyan was preparing to take another step forward.
The girl beneath him, her eyes pressed close together, had fallen into a deep sleep.
"..."
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Shang Shiyan stood there stunned, his smile gradually fading.
"Fog..."
Shang Shiyan touched her face and called her softly.
"Sleepy."
Pei Jinwu pushed his hand away, turned her back to him, rolled into the quilt, and slept soundly.
"Oh."
Looking at the little girl who only started the fire but didn't take responsibility for putting it out, Shang Shiyan rubbed his temples and smiled helplessly.
It took a few minutes to recover.
Shang Shiyan entered the bedroom, where icy cold water drenched his entire body.
I was completely awake.
Thank goodness he was asleep, otherwise he would have acted like a beast tonight.
Oh.
How could a man nearing thirty so easily lose his temper?!
——
The next day.
Pei Jinwu slept until three in the afternoon, and when she woke up, she found that the person next to her was empty.
Huh?
The girl sat up and rubbed her sore shoulders.
She clearly remembered seeing Shang Shiyan when she left the lab last night.
She acted like a female hooligan, doing this and that to him...
And then...
She has no memory of it at all.
Could it be that staying up all night caused hallucinations, or was it just a dream?
Definitely.
Just as Pei Jinwu was feeling relieved, the door suddenly opened, and the man she had bullied, a female hooligan, appeared before her, carrying breakfast and looking radiant.
"Forehead."
Pei Jinwu's breath hitched. She blinked, and after a long while, she finally found her voice and asked cautiously, "You just arrived, right?"
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow, narrowed his dark eyes, and said with a half-smile, "He came last night."
last night?
Pei Jinwu recalled what happened last night, and suddenly felt a surge of energy; he almost got his pants pulled down.
Waaaaah.
Her lifelong reputation was ruined by Shang Shiyan.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Shiyan sat down, supporting himself on the table with his hands, and slowly leaned forward, getting closer to the girl's face. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was even more seductive: "Has Wuwu forgotten what happened last night?"
"Um?"
Pei Jinwu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously backed away, her heart pounding, but her eyes were firm: "What happened last night? I was asleep and forgot everything."
Pei Jinwu emphasized the word "all" very deliberately.
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan's smile deepened. Seeing her red earlobes, he didn't expose her, but said gently, "What a coincidence, even your brother doesn't remember."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu turned her head and pursed her red lips: "It is quite a coincidence."
Little scumbag girl.
They echoed it with such self-righteousness.
"No rush, we can recall what happened last night later."
Shang Shiyan smiled, squeezed her palm, and said gently.
"Cough cough."
Pei Jinwu almost choked on her saliva, then remained silent, pretending not to hear.
She didn't succeed, so what's there to be upset about?
If I had known he would settle accounts later, I shouldn't have fallen asleep last night.
"Have something to eat, we have guests visiting."
Shang Shiyan helped her get dressed, gently reminding her.
"guest?"
"Yes." Shang Shiyan nodded, his expression turning serious: "Your sister and brother-in-law... Island Lord Shen has arrived."
"..."
Pei Jinwu's expression changed slightly.
It seems so.
Shen Huaijin made a decision.
She wanted to see.
What will he choose?
——
Goodnight, my darlings.
I'll speed up the pace for my sister's part.
