“Hmm?” Wen Zhiying was greatly surprised by Xia Yu’s answer. “I won’t go to an alien planet!”
“It’s not about going to an alien planet; I’m offering you another job,” Xia Yu sighed at Wen Zhiying’s imagination. No wonder she writes novels.
“A planet guardian?” Wen Zhiying continued with her fantasy.
“…Actually, I’m not an alien; I’m a stand user,” Xia Yu signaled Wen Zhiying not to mention jobs related to the interstellar era.
“Then is it one of those jobs where money comes while you’re lying down?” Wen Zhiying continued.
“I’m not interested in you.” Xia Yu replied.
This time, it was Wen Zhiying’s turn to be shocked. “That’s not what I meant!”
“Don’t daydream. I can introduce you to a decent job. How about becoming a translator? Study for a few years, and you’ll definitely become a top-tier translator, dining lavishly with sponsors every day and attending various meetings in different districts.” Xia Yu deliberately avoided story-related jobs for Wen Zhiying.
Wen Zhiying remained silent.
Xia Yu sensed that the girl was somewhat lost. She had been writing novels for years, and suddenly changing careers was naturally confusing.
“Let’s talk about it later,” Wen Zhiying postponed the matter.
She became curious about Xia Yu’s identity again: “How exactly are you going to help me get a translation job?”
Xia Yu was not in the mood for joking around at this moment. He replied, “You don’t need to know that.”
“Tsk, sooner or later I will figure out who you really are,” Wen Zhiying declared confidently.
Xia Yu didn’t take it seriously. If Wen Zhiying had any talent related to investigation, he might have felt a little nervous, but she didn’t have such abilities, so there was no way she could discover his identity.
“Did you experience something like this when you were little?” Wen Zhiying tried again from another angle to uncover Xia Yu’s background.
Xia Yu ignored her and reopened his laptop, letting Wen Zhiying continue watching the movie.
He absentmindedly thought about solutions. Wen Zhiying currently wasn’t ready to consider changing careers, so talking more would be useless, just like talking to a single aristocrat—you can say anything, but he won’t go looking for a girlfriend.
Only when he has an awakening and starts longing for the life of throwing dog food at other single aristocrats will guidance be effective.
Fortunately, Xia Yu still had time. It was only their freshman year, and marriage wouldn’t happen until at least after college.
After watching eight hours of comedies with Wen Zhiying, Xia Yu returned to his own body.
It was 7 p.m. He played games for half the night to relieve his stress.
The next day, Yu Ningmeng told him that the laboratory and researchers were ready and asked when he would inform Xu Youxiang to start the research.
“Just make sure Youxiang doesn’t abandon her responsibilities and run off!” Yu Ningmeng reminded Xia Yu.
“Don’t worry,” Xia Yu comforted Yu Ningmeng before heading out for breakfast.
After the meal, he sent a message to Xu Youxiang:
“I’m coming.”
Five minutes passed, but Xu Youxiang didn’t reply. Xia Yu didn’t care whether she hadn’t seen it or just didn’t want to respond. He clicked the slot and entered Xu Youxiang’s body.
After a moment of darkness, Xia Yu saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
Xu Youxiang was still asleep.
“What do you want?” Xu Youxiang’s voice echoed in Xia Yu’s mind.
“Why can’t I come?” Xia Yu countered.
Xu Youxiang snorted and didn’t speak.
A few seconds later, she figured out the reason: “You’re here about the medicine, right?”
Xia Yu didn’t know how to respond. Their current relationship was somewhat complicated.
Perhaps, as Yu Ningmeng had said, it wasn’t the right time to bring this up. However, Xia Yu wanted to clarify things and didn’t want to keep hiding like a deceiver.
His silence made Xu Youxiang anxious.
Xu Youxiang didn’t know what to do either. According to her personality, she should run off recklessly at this moment, making Xia Yu find and appease her, thus releasing her inner distress. However, she was afraid to act.
What if after running away, he not only didn’t look for her but also happily started a relationship with An Siyao?
She started suspecting what Xia Yu was thinking now, suspecting whether he was already preparing excuses to break up.
Sensing Xia Yu was about to speak, fearing he might say something bad, Xu Youxiang hurriedly said, “Let’s go to the lab first. We can talk about this later.”
Xia Yu swallowed his words. He had wanted to ask Xu Youxiang how she felt about this.
He pressed the bell to call the maid, and Xu Youyu sat on a wheelchair and left the bedroom.
In the living room, Mrs. Xu was soothing her second daughter. Upon seeing Xu Youxiang, she handed the younger child to the maid and personally escorted Youxiang to the bathroom to assist her with preparations.
“My mom loves me so much, and I’m afraid she’ll be disappointed,” Xu Youxiang said in her mind.
Although Xu Youxiang mentioned this as an obstacle, Xia Yu became alert. In other words, as long as her mother wasn’t disappointed, this issue could be resolved?
It was inevitable that Xu’s mother would be disappointed if she learned her daughter was involved with a man who was also with another woman. Xia Yu currently had no solution, but at least he now had a direction.
After breakfast, fed by her mother, Xia Yu called the Yu family’s servant to push him to the lab.
The lab was much larger and more advanced than the one Xia Yu had previously used. Half of the researchers were familiar to him, having worked with him on the previous medicine, while the other half were new faces.
Without any dramatic confrontations, the team quickly got down to work.
The researchers, who had been anxious beforehand, felt reassured after seeing Xu Youyu skillfully set directions and assign tasks.
Before coming here, Yu Ningmeng had already warned them.
Xia Yu didn’t immediately start his own project. Instead, he walked around the lab, getting familiar with the personnel.
There were no particularly brilliant geniuses here. Almost all the important work would have to be done by Xia Yu himself.
This was both exhausting and slow.
Xia Yu didn’t want to spend too much time here.
He considered asking Yu Ningmeng for an expert. Moments later, he gave up on this idea.
Even if a new expert came, there was no guarantee they would share his vision, and coordination would not be smooth.
It would be better to find back Yin Shulan.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed Yin Shulan’s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is disconnected…” the voice prompt sounded.
Yin Shulan actually changed her phone number?
It seemed that last time he really scared her badly.
Putting down the phone, Xia Yu was not worried. The monk could run, but the temple couldn’t. He knew where Yin Shulan lived, and Yin Ling and Yin Wan were still at An Siyao’s villa.
Xia Yu first asked the two for Yin Shulan’s new number and dialed it, but Yin Shulan refused to answer.
With no choice, Xia Yu decided to go to the village to find Yin Shulan.
