A few minutes later.

He maintained the last trace of clarity in his mind. He moved his thin lips away slightly and whispered, panting, "Nian Nian, stop fooling around."

He wasn't that gentlemanly.

In the past, he had encountered some occasions where someone would arrange for some pure or beautiful girls, but he always rejected them.

It wasn't until Qiao Nian appeared that he understood that it was because none of those people were her.

If it were her, the self-control he was so proud of would collapse at once.

Qiao Nian didn't let go. At this moment, she was looking at him with a pair of clear eyes. His figure was reflected in them. "I'm a very lazy person. I'm too lazy to just like someone. I'm too lazy to start a relationship again, so… you can wait for me a little longer."

Ye Wangchuan could only hear his heart beating.

Soon.

It was very stable.

He was no longer so worried about losing her.

Qiao Nian took another deep breath and said softly, "I'm almost of legal age. I'm still a year away."

She was still a year away from turning 20. Previously, she didn't care about this, but Ye Wangchuan did. She had considered this before.

"A year will pass very quickly… in the blink of an eye." Qiao Nian pursed her lips and looked down at him. After a moment of silence, she said seriously, "I'll be responsible."

The first few sentences had actually already made Ye Wangchuan's eardrums ring. In her last sentence, she was still discussing "responsibility" with him seriously.

He suddenly gave up. He felt that he was very stupid to be worried about losing her. He was like a hothead. He was not as mature as her.

The stone weighing on his heart disappeared. After tidying the girl's hair, he sat back down and returned to his usual lazy and noble self. He was also in the mood to joke with her. "I remember you saying previously that you're already an adult."

Qiao Nian wasn't afraid at all. She looked up and replied expressionlessly, "I remember someone telling me that I was still too young. He gave me milk every day."

Ye Wangchuan heated a cup of milk for her every day.

For a moment, she suspected that his words meant something else!

Ye Wangchuan was speechless. He touched the bridge of his nose. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he started the car again and said, "You're tired today. Go back first. I'll drive slower. You can take a nap on the way back."

"Okay." Qiao Nian picked up the baseball cap he had taken off previously and put it back on. At the same time, she pulled it down to cover her face. Then, she adjusted her seat back and closed her eyes to rest.

Her lips still hurt a little.

If she didn't seize the opportunity to rest now, Qin Si would probably chase after her and ask questions when she returned to the residence.

She might as well take the time to sleep.

Qiao Nian had thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep, because she didn't sleep much to begin with. It was easy for her to wake up.

Unexpectedly, along the way, she was able to calm down and rest. She quickly fell into a light sleep.

The next day.

Qiao Nian reported to the research institute early in the morning.

She was a newcomer who had been recruited after the assessment, so someone specially took her through various procedures.

Soon, Qiao Nian finished all the procedures.

Right on the heels of that, she was brought to a large laboratory.

There were many people in the laboratory.
