Mu Siwen suppressed the jealousy in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
He slowly unclenched his fist, leaving a series of bright red crescent marks on the palm of his hand.
He tried to calm his breathing, but his eyes were still fixed on Lin Zhiyue, not missing any subtle expression on her face.
Watching Lin Zhiyue talking to her senior brother with great joy, that familiar smile was like a knife piercing Mu Siwen's heart.
He kept comforting himself in his heart that Lin Zhiyue and he were just ordinary friends and there was a deeper bond between them, but the feeling of jealousy still grew wildly like weeds.
Mu Siwen took a deep breath, trying to calm the jealousy surging in his heart. He raised his hand to straighten his messy collar, then walked towards Lin Zhiyue and the man.
He had a perfect smile on his face and seemed calm and composed, but only he knew that every step he took was extremely heavy.
Walking closer, he first politely nodded to Senior Brother Lin Zhiyue, then looked at Lin Zhiyue, with just the right amount of surprise and confusion in his voice: "What a coincidence, how come I ran into you here?"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the man beside him inconspicuously and asked, "Who is this...?"
Lin Zhiyue was unaware of the turmoil in Mu Siwen's heart. She smiled and patted Mu Siwen on the shoulder, introducing him enthusiastically: "This is someone I met before at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We met by chance today and chatted a little more."
After listening to Lin Zhiyue's introduction, Mu Siwen still had a gentle smile on his face and said, "It turns out to be Comrade Li. Nice to meet you. I often hear Zhiyue mention his days at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Comrade Li must have helped him a lot."
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be casually looking at the man, but in fact she was secretly observing his reaction.
Li He also responded politely, and the few of them exchanged a few words.
However, Mu Siwen keenly caught the concerned and somewhat intimate look in Li He's eyes when he looked at Lin Zhiyue, which made the alarm bells in his heart ring again.
He moved closer to Lin Zhiyue calmly, unnoticedly separating Lin Zhiyue and Li He.
"What were you talking about just now? You looked so happy?" Mu Siwen asked with a smile, his tone relaxed, trying to find clues about their relationship from the conversation.
Lin Zhiyue turned around, still smiling from the conversation, and said to Mu Siwen enthusiastically, "We just talked about our time at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are so many interesting memories."
At this time, Li He on the side took over the conversation, with a somewhat distressed look on his face, and smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, a project we are responsible for recently is quite tricky. The data model and experimental process involved always have problems, and we have not been able to find a suitable solution. When I met Zhiyue today, I thought that she had a lot of experience in this area before, so I wanted to ask her if she had any ideas and suggestions."
Mu Siwen nodded slightly, with a polite smile on his face, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He quietly moved half a step towards Lin Zhiyue and said casually, "So it's about work. Yueyue does have some ideas, maybe she can really help."
Mu Siwen also had his own little thoughts, so he called her in a more intimate way on purpose.
Lin Zhiyue did not notice Mu Siwen's subtle movements, nor did she know what he was thinking.
Her eyes were shining and she was immersed in thinking about the project issues.
She gestured lightly with her hands and said seriously, "I remember there was a similar experiment before. When building the data model, you can try to change the algorithm to optimize the data screening and analysis process from the root, which may solve the problem of unstable data. There is also the experimental process. Can the order of the operation steps be reorganized to reduce the interference between variables?"
Li He's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded continuously while listening and raised a few questions from time to time. The two of them started a heated discussion on this.
Mu Siwen stood aside, and although he tried to remain patient, a hint of loneliness was still revealed in his eyes.
He listened silently to the professional conversation between the two, unable to get a word in, and couldn't help feeling powerless.
Mu Siwen was listening on the side, but his mind was rapidly calculating.
He thought that he must find an opportunity to make Lin Zhiyue understand his feelings and not allow others to take advantage of him.
After Lin Zhiyue finished speaking, Mu Siwen smiled and suggested, "It's rare to meet you. I don't think you can finish talking in a short time. This place is close to Uncle Zhang's place. How about having a meal together? How about chatting while eating?"
He had a little plan in mind. If they had dinner together, he would be able to get to know Comrade Li more clearly, and it would also prevent Lin Zhiyue from being alone with him.
When Lin Zhiyue heard Mu Siwen say, "Go and try Uncle Zhang's cooking, we haven't been there for a long time," the image of Uncle Zhang's skillful cooking and those mouth-watering delicacies instantly emerged in her mind.
Those familiar smells seemed to have traveled through time, going straight into her nose, and evoking her deep longing.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing a bright smile, her eyes curved into crescents, and she readily agreed, "Okay, I really miss Uncle Zhang's cooking!"
After saying that, Lin Zhiyue seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head and looked at Li He, her eyes full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and said, "Brother Li He, why don't you come with us? I'm sure you will be amazed by Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship. Just relax and relieve the pressure brought by the project."
Li He was secretly delighted when he heard Lin Zhiyue's invitation. He had always wanted to spend more time with Lin Zhiyue, and he would not refuse such a rare opportunity.
