Xu Qian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Accompany me for a meal."
The man's eyes darkened slightly, and he let out a low hum.
X Group Headquarters.
"We still can't get in touch with Lian?"
"Yes, for almost a week, we've been trying to contact Boss Lian, but with no success."
Hui Feichi pressed his temples. "Can you contact the bases in S City?"
"We can't reach the new base. The other two can. The person in charge said that the Tang Corporation has been coming to inspect frequently lately, so they have no way to inquire."
Hui Feichi felt his headache worsen. He waved his hand, "Alright, you can go."
"Yes."
Hui Feichi took a deep breath and braced himself before knocking on Song Xiaoping's door.
Lately, Song Xiaoping's mood couldn't be described as just bad; he was like a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Enter."
The man looked up at him and said lightly, "What is it?"
Hui Feichi cut to the chase, "We still can't get in touch with Lian, and the S City base can't provide any information for now."
With a "snap," papers flew.
Hui Feichi closed his eyes, preparing for the onslaught of anger.
The man stood up and paced a few times, hands on his hips, tilting his head back to exhale.
"Where is Xu Qian?"
Hui Feichi shook his head, "No news yet."
Song Xiaoping's expression turned grim, and he said in a low voice, "You go to S City yourself."
"Yes."
Tang Corporation Base. Laboratory.
Everyone watched as a tube of sapphire-blue liquid was injected into the woman's body, followed immediately by an injection into the man beside her, who was in handcuffs.
The first-generation REP vaccine was officially ready, and the first human reproductive experiment officially began.
Could humanity achieve normal reproduction?
"Do you think we'll succeed?"
Through the glass window, the man held her from behind, his chin resting on her head, his voice deep and magnetic.
"Of course, I believe in you."
In his previous life, Tang Zhiyuan was the greatest contributor to the apocalypse; his intelligence was unquestionable, and he was even more formidable in this life.
【Ding, Tang Zhiyuan's favorability +3, total favorability is 78.】
Everyone praised him for being young and promising, brilliant beyond measure.
Her praise was always different from others'.
The embrace tightened, and Xu Qian frowned slightly but didn't resist.
"Ring ring ring—"
The phone vibrated. Only one person would call at this hour.
Tang Zhichen.
The man let out a soft grunt, his grip not easing.
"Brother is doing this on purpose, right? He knows you're with me."
Xu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, not responding. Only when the ringing started for the second time did he slowly loosen his hold.
"Hello."
Tang Zhiyuan crossed his arms and stared at her from the side.
"I'll be back later, mm, got it. I'll eat well."
The call ended. The man grunted again, "I knew he didn't have anything important to say, but he insisted on disturbing us."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "He said for you to eat properly, or you'll get a stomachache."
Tang Zhiyuan: ...
His anger suddenly dissipated!
Long hours spent in the laboratory, unstable meals, especially these past few years of exhausting work for the SVT vaccine, had taken their toll.
Suddenly, the man pulled her into a front hug, his usually cold eyes softening considerably.
"Ah Qian, do you like..."
"Click," the door opened.
"Professor Tang, they have successfully mated. We plan to..."
Seeing the scene inside, the man with glasses paused, then closed the door again, wisely saying, "You two continue."
Xu Qian: ...
Tang Zhiyuan: ...
"Shouldn't we do something to make up for this misunderstanding?"
"Hmm?"
