Qu Mingzhu’s face sank as she said, “Yan Kun, you rejected me repeatedly because of this girl?”

Yan Kun’s expression turned colder. “I can’t accept Miss Qu’s kindness.”

Qu Mingzhu’s expression twisted for a moment before she pointed at Tian Lan and said, “I want you to leave Yan Kun’s side.” Her tone was filled with a lofty order.

Tian Lan rolled her eyes and said, “Why should I listen to you?”

Qu Mingzhu had been continuously angered by the two of them. When had she ever encountered such cold treatment? She immediately turned red with anger. When she saw Xiao Ying sitting inside, her eyes lit up. “Academician Xiao Ying, get this girl to leave the laboratory. I want to join.”

With that, she raised her head as if she were giving Xiao Ying an enormous honor.

With the fire suddenly aimed at her, Xiao Ying smiled calmly and said, “Do you have any accomplishments in research?”

Qu Mingzhu was stunned and shook her head.

Xiao Ying continued, “Then I’m sorry.”

Qu Mingzhu frowned and said, “I can pay.”

Xiao Ying rejected her again. “Sorry, we don’t need any funds for now.”

The surrounding laughter made Qu Mingzhu’s expression turn ugly. She pointed at Tian Lan and said, “What about her? What right does she have to enter the laboratory?”

Xiao Ying said, “Tian Lan was already the champion of the National Physics Olympiad when she was in middle school. When she was still an undergrad, she had participated in the National Science Olympiad and won third place. When she participated a second time, she won first place. She attended countless national-level technological conferences. Why wouldn’t I want such a talent?”

Tian Lan’s expression changed. She didn’t expect Academician Xiao Ying to know her so well. Her words made everyone look at her with respect.

Yan Kun patted her head. Everyone knew that she was outstanding.

Qu Mingzhu said coldly, “Xiao Ying, I’ll remember you.”

With that, she left.

Xiao Ying felt baffled. Why was she involved?

Tian Lan said apologetically, “Sorry, Academician Xiao Ying.”

Xiao Ying shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”

Xiao Ying did not take this to heart. She returned home at night after her research.

As usual, Qiao Zihao hugged the teddy bear tightly the moment he got home. Xiao Ying let him be. After dinner, she took him to bed.

Seeing him close his eyes obediently, Xiao Ying smiled. She felt that this child was really obedient.

She covered him with a blanket. Seeing that he was still hugging the teddy bear, she wanted to help him remove it.

She felt that something was wrong the moment she placed her hand on it. When she had just bought this bear, she remembered that it was clearly made of cotton. Why was it so hard to the touch now?

Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw that Qiao Zihao had suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared intently at Xiao Ying, as if he wanted to say something.

Xiao Ying subconsciously let go of the bear in her hand. Only then did he close his eyes again. He had changed the direction of the bear in his arms.

Xiao Ying felt that it was strange. However, this was a private matter. Since he did not take the initiative to tell her, she did not ask.

When she returned to her room, she still couldn’t stop thinking about the bear.

After a few days, the amulet once again stressed that it did not have enough energy. Under Xiao Ying’s deliberate indulgence, the amulet once again lost its energy and turned off.

At noon that day, Qiao Zihao, who had been eating at the canteen, suddenly fainted. This time, Xiao Ying did not panic. She quickly sent him to the hospital. Seeing that he was sleeping, she felt that she had missed something.

There was something very important, but she just couldn’t figure it out. She felt that recently, everything seemed to have been shrouded in a layer of fog. As long as she broke through, she would understand everything. However, she couldn’t find a way.

Qiao Zihao lay on the hospital bed, his face flushed red. He did not look ill at all, but he could not be woken up.. Xiao Ying did a full-body checkup on him again, but there was still no problem.
