Qin Hanchen next door was also packing his luggage, and he would prick up his ears from time to time to listen to Song Zhiyao's movements. The daily interactions during this period made him like her more and more.

He was about to leave and return to the capital, but there had not been any breakthrough in their relationship, which made him very discouraged. He was unwilling to leave like this as the contact between the two of them would definitely fade.

The sense of trust that they had established with great difficulty and the natural way they got along with each other made Qin Hanchen not want to go back like this.

After thinking for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, mustered up the courage to walk outside, and knocked on Song Zhiyao's door, "Junior Sister Song, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Song Zhiyao had already packed her luggage and was planning to go home. When she heard Qin Hanchen outside the door wanting to talk to her, she put down her things and opened the door without any hesitation.

This time the project was completed so quickly thanks to Qin Hanchen. The two of them have been together for so long that Song Zhiyao no longer has the resistance to him as before, and she didn't think much about what he had to say.

After coming out, Song Zhiyao saw Qin Hanchen hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to start. He smiled and said, "Brother Qin, just say whatever you want to say."

Qin Hanchen, who didn't know how to start, looked at Song Zhiyao's sincere eyes, mustered up the courage and said firmly, "Junior Sister Song, we have been together for so long and you know me well. We have a tacit understanding in work and life.

Not to mention work, in life I know all your likes and what you like to eat every time. You are not good at cooking, but the food I cook suits your taste.

When I first came here, because the project was not completed, I tried my best to suppress my love for you. Now that the project is completed, I think if I don’t say it, I might miss it in the future.

Junior Sister Song, would you consider dating me? It's based on marriage. Whether it's now or in the future, I will respect your choice. You can do what you like. "

After finally saying these words, Qin Hanchen felt a lot more relaxed. He felt relieved inside but still very nervous and stared at Song Zhiyao.

I want to know what she is thinking through her expression and eyes. Even if she refuses, I want to know the reason.

Qin Hanchen has made up his mind that he will not give up even if he is rejected. At least now Song Zhiyao knows his feelings, and he will be the first person she thinks of when she wants to find a partner in the future.

Song Zhiyao was not surprised that he said this. They had been together for so long, and he had expressed his feelings to her from the very beginning. She was not a fool.

After hearing this, Song Zhiyao fell into deep thought. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Whether at work or in life, Qin Hanchen could understand everything from her eyes.

When she was unhappy, he could quickly come up with a way to divert her attention, and he could make her feel relaxed when he talked to her.

It might seem like a good idea to date him, but Song Zhiyao didn't want to make such an easy decision about her life's most important event.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said calmly, "Brother Qin, I cannot deny what you said. It is quite comfortable to get along with you. We have common topics and more importantly, we have common goals in research.

Dating is a rather cautious matter. We should spend more time together and get to know each other's shortcomings. If we can accept each other, then we can talk about it."

In total, they spent less than a year together. During that year, they mostly discussed work, and they only saw each other's lives when they returned to the dormitory.

Little was known about the shortcomings of both sides, and Song Zhiyao felt that making a hasty decision would not be good for either of them.

No matter what she said, it made sense. Qin Hanchen did not hide the joy on his face at all, "Junior Sister Song, you are right. We need to understand each other better. No matter what shortcomings you have, I can tolerate them.

If you have any shortcomings, please point them out to me and I will do my best to correct them until you are satisfied."

Qin Hanchen looked so silly and happy that Song Zhiyao inexplicably smiled when she saw it.

"Brother Qin, I'm going home first. I've been away for so long and I'm homesick. You should pack up and go home as well. If you have anything, write to me."

After saying that, Song Zhiyao turned and left, and was in a good mood on the way home carrying her things.

When she got on the bus, the driver, who was also an old acquaintance, noticed her good mood and teased her, "Doctor Song, what good news is this? You look so happy."

I was wondering in my heart, this Doctor Song used to be so quiet but now he has a big smile on his face, could it be that he has a girlfriend?

But he didn't dare ask this question because the girl would be shy.

Is it that obvious? For a moment, Song Zhiyao was a little embarrassed. "Ahem, Master Liu, aren't you in a good mood because you want to go home today? I've been too busy recently and haven't been home for a long time. This time I can stay at home for a while."

Although Song Zhiyao didn't say anything during the rest of the trip, Master Liu could sense her happiness. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "It's good to be young!"

After Song Zhiyao left, Qin Hanchen also jumped up happily, "Junior Sister Song agreed to get to know me better. Does that mean I can be her boyfriend as long as I behave well? It must be like this, otherwise she wouldn't talk so much nonsense to me."

As soon as I thought of this result, the sad feeling of leaving disappeared.

He thought that after this departure, the two of them would slowly travel far away, and Song Zhiyao would ignore him and always treat him as an ordinary senior brother, and would not even reply to his letters in the future.

When she said that she would contact him by letter in the future, it meant that she was willing to continue communicating with him. Qin Hanchen was very excited for a moment, and the sound of him packing up also attracted the attention of others.

A doctor not far from him asked in confusion, "Researcher Qin, are you so excited to go home? Is your partner waiting for you in the capital? But of course, anyone would be so happy."

Qin Hanchen, who was originally in an excited state, hurriedly explained when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a partner in the capital."

If I don't explain it clearly, others will spread rumors and what will happen if Song Zhiyao misunderstands? When he thought that she would misunderstand, he hurriedly walked to the male doctor and said, "Doctor Yang, you can't say that. If I had a partner in the capital, I would have come here for so long. I am innocent."

What's wrong with this researcher Qin? He was just joking, but he looked nervous.

Doctor Yang looked puzzled, then saw Qin Hanchen looking at him seriously, "Researcher Qin, I just said it casually, you don't need to be so nervous."

"Doctor Yang, this is not a question of whether you can just say it casually or not. You are really slandering my innocence. I don't have any partner in the capital, so don't say it again next time." Qin Hanchen said it again seriously.
