Feeling a little embarrassed under Lin Chuchu's gaze, Du Lingling took advantage of the moment when Researcher Tian went to the restroom.
He whispered to Lin Chuchu, "I don't know what got into him, but he took the initiative to ask me to be his girlfriend."
“I’m thinking about how badly he hurt me last time, so I’ve set a deadline, and I’ll dump him by then.”
Du Lingling spoke seriously, waving her little fist as if she were making a decision.
Lin Chuchu felt that the other person's thinking was not quite right.
"Lingling, this is the first time I've seen Comrade Tian so serious. He was indeed wrong last time, but you should give him a chance to make amends."
"Comrade Tian is a good person in every way. If you feel good about him, don't let the past affect your future."
Everyone here is an adult. When two people get married, it also represents the union of their two families. Lin Chuchu really hopes that they won't act on emotion.
Du Lingling listened attentively, "Sister Chuchu, I understand."
Meanwhile, Researcher Tian was cornered in the bathroom by Researcher Hou.
Researcher Hou frowned. "Why did you provoke Comrade Du? Don't you dislike her? You can't be so foolish as to do something wrong."
Researcher Hou's tone conveyed his concern for Researcher Tian.
Researcher Tian looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, putting his arm around his shoulder.
"What? Worried about me? Don't worry, I've long forgotten about that person. I genuinely think Du Lingling is great and want to give it a try with her."
After all, as they say, he can't go his whole life without finding a partner, nor can he stay single forever.
He also has parents, and he doesn't want them to worry.
Ever since he made up his mind to find a partner, the first person he thought of was Du Lingling. After all, Du Lingling was excellent in every way, and besides, he owed Du Lingling something.
Being together is a kind of compensation for Du Lingling. He will treat Du Lingling well in the future and try his best to like and cherish her.
Upon hearing this, Researcher Hou unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, he felt that the hand on his body was so annoying.
She slapped the researcher's hand away and said irritably, "What am I worried about? I just don't want you to waste that woman's time."
After saying that, he pushed the person back and walked quickly toward the door.
"I'm getting married soon. If I get married before you, you'll have to call my fiancé's sister-in-law."
Researcher Tian was dumbfounded. That's right, they had made a bet before that whoever got married first would be the other's older brother and sister-in-law.
"No, I'm older than you, you can't get married first, I have to get married before you."
Researcher Tian lunged at Researcher Hou, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.
Researcher Hou snorted coldly, "I don't care about you. You haven't even managed to get that woman yet, and you're dreaming about marriage!"
The two of them came out of the bathroom, bickering and teasing each other. One of them grinned and tried to get closer to the other, while the other looked disgusted and tried to push him away.
Du Lingling almost stared wide-eyed at the sight and whispered to Lin Chuchu.
"Sister Chuchu, they really aren't... you know? Comrade Tian wants to marry me, it can't be a cover-up for the truth..."
There is no concept of sexual orientation yet; the prevailing idea is that married people must be either men or women.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu and Du Lingling, the researchers, tried their best not to laugh out loud.
But even with their shoulders shaking, you could still tell they were enduring a lot of hardship.
Lin Chuchu chuckled. Although she usually shipped the two of them, she still gave a fair evaluation.
"Ahem...they just look a little off, but...actually they're pretty normal...haha..."
Lin Chuchu couldn't help but burst into laughter. She knew it was immoral, but she just couldn't resist.
The others couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing enough, Lin Chuchu finally stopped laughing under Du Lingling's strange gaze.
Lin Chuchu patted Du Lingling on the shoulder, "Don't worry, they're really normal. They're just bickering lovers, like close colleagues."
Du Lingling rolled her eyes at Lin Chuchu and then fell silent.
She knew she had been overthinking things, and that she was just joking, since Researcher Hou also had a partner.
Researcher Tian was very enthusiastic towards me, and considering what happened before, it's clear that Researcher Tian is a normal person.
Lin Chuchu returned to the research lab and joined the others in their research.
Research on sniper cannons has made progress, and with the new materials they brought back from their secret base in the United States, they can also try to apply them to weapons.
With the secret base destroyed, people from other countries gradually left, and the Chinese army began to guard the border. For a time, the United States dared not make any rash moves.
Thus, the mining of new materials was taken over entirely by China, and materials were continuously shipped into the country.
The base cannot only study tanks; it also studies other things, mostly weapons and land, sea, and air transportation vehicles.
There couldn't be so few researchers at the base, and soon another group arrived. This time, they were all familiar faces.
They used to be from the same base and had cooperated to varying degrees. This included the mentors of Researcher Hou and Researcher Tian, and even Lin Chuchu's former teacher, the old professor, came over.
Lin Chuchu was once the old professor's student, but now they're at the same level.
The old professor had a gentle expression; the students who used to need his guidance were now capable of standing on their own.
Lin Chuchu didn't expect to have the chance to see her teachers again, and she happily introduced the situation at the base to them.
After showing the old professor where he was staying, as they came out of the room, they saw that Researcher Tian and Researcher Hou's mentor were looking at them strangely.
