Cheng Mo's laboratory is private, but the security is very strict and outsiders can only enter with the recommendation of an insider.

"Since when has the entry and exit of a laboratory been so strictly checked?"

Zhuang Yue found it very troublesome when she saw the security guard had to check their ID cards.

"This just shows that what they are developing is relatively important, and they may have already produced experimental results."

The Yan family also has a research and development laboratory. Yan Xunxue would go there occasionally and experienced the rigor.

"Okay, you can go in." The security guard quickly confirmed their identities.

When the three of them went in, a man in a white coat hurried out to greet them.

The other party introduced himself as Cheng Mo's assistant, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ji Yu? The professor is doing an experiment and can't leave, so he asked me to pick you up and show you around the laboratory."

"Yes, thank you very much." Ji Yu nodded.

"No trouble." The assistant smiled, "Please follow me, all three of you."

The assistant kept the professor's instructions in mind and took them to see the professor while introducing the situation in the laboratory.

Although it is a private laboratory, it covers a large area, and the decoration and experimental equipment are all top-notch.

There are quite a few people in the laboratory, and you can see some people wearing white coats from time to time.

Most of them are very young faces and look like interns.

"As expected of Professor Cheng, I heard that he published an important paper in Nature a week ago on the research of new antibiotics."

The person who spoke was Yan Xunxue.

"It seems that his laboratory has overcome the difficulties of developing new antibiotics."

"How do you know this?" Ji Yu asked in surprise.

"Xiaoyue told me last time that Professor Cheng added her as a friend, so I checked." Yan Xunxue smiled slightly.

"Professor Cheng's reputation is truly not something that ordinary people can achieve. I heard that many students, although afraid of him, want to enter his lab because they can really learn something in his lab."

Ji Yu knew from her expression that she had guessed it.

After thinking about it, I decided to say something nice for him.

"Cheng Mo is actually a pretty good person, he doesn't have any bad habits."

"I did hear that Professor Cheng is a clean person, but he seems to be a workaholic."

When Ji Yu heard this, he stopped talking. There was no way to deny this.

When he was in Yunhai City before, Cheng Mo came back only a few times, and every time he showed up, there was something going on, which shows that he is a person who focuses more on his career.

Zhuang Yue's personality is quite eccentric, and the two of them don't seem to be a good match at all.

"But some things are hard to say." Yan Xunxue changed the subject and did not choose to kill with one blow.

Although her relationship is not going well, she still hopes that her little sister can find someone who truly loves her.

In many large families, the interests of the family come first, followed by the feelings of the children.

Her relationship used to be smooth sailing and was envied by everyone, but that was only because she was lucky to have found a partner who was a good match for her and whom she loved.

A group of three followed the assistant and finally met Cheng Mo.

Through a huge glass wall, they saw Cheng Mo wearing a white lab coat and a mask on his face.

At this moment, he was staring at the things in the box seriously and attentively.

"What are they doing?" Zhuang Yue asked curiously, lying on the glass wall.

Because of the thing between them, she was no longer afraid of Cheng Mo.

"The professor and his team are currently conducting experiments to induce resistance to new antibiotics," the assistant explained.

Zhuang Yue seemed to understand and let out a long "oh".

At this moment, Cheng Mo, who was concentrating on the experiment, suddenly raised his head and his eyes met Zhuang Yue who was lying on the glass.

His serious and calm expression instantly made Zhuang Yue feel like retreating.

That fear of facing the mentor came back.

Just as she put down her hands and prepared to step back, Cheng Mo suddenly gestured a few times with his hands.

The researchers with him were startled and stared at him.

In their eyes, it was as if the professor had a sudden cramp and gestured in the air with his hands.

It wasn't until they noticed the professor's gaze that they realized there was someone outside.

Zhuang Yue blinked, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that he was not scary anymore, and she made an OK gesture.

"What was Cheng Mo saying just now?" Ji Yu noticed the interaction between the two and felt like laughing for some reason.

He seemed to understand a little bit what Cheng Mo meant by that sentence before.

It seemed really interesting that the two of them communicated using sign language across a wall.

"He told us to wait for a while and he would come out when he was done," said Zhuang Yue.

Yan Xunxue had a strange expression on her face. "I didn't expect Professor Cheng to know sign language."

"I've never heard of him being able to use sign language before." Ji Yu asked, "How did Zhuang Yue know sign language?"

"She has a cousin who is deaf and dumb, so she learned it specifically to be able to communicate with her cousin."

Ten minutes later, Cheng Mo took off his gloves, walked out of the laboratory and came to them.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I wanted to pick you up myself, but something went wrong here, so I had to ask my assistant to pick you up."

Zhuang Yue originally wanted to hide behind Ji Yu and Yan Xunxue, but she found that they were standing behind her instead, without saying a word, so she had no choice but to speak.

"No, it's okay. We have only been here for a short time. The experiment is more important."

Cheng Mo nodded and said, "What are you usually busy with?"

"Ah?" Zhuang Yue's expression was a little dull. "I'm not busy at all."

"If you're not busy, why don't you reply to my message?"

Zhuang Yue finally reacted and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

If time could go back a dozen seconds, she would definitely say that she is extremely busy every day, busy with many things.

"I, um...I might not have been looking at my phone when you messaged me."

"That's quite a coincidence indeed. The first few times we met, I remember you played with your phone quite often. It seems like I'm just unlucky."

Cheng Mo frowned slightly as he spoke. He always sent messages to Zhuang Yue when he was not busy.

But there is no solution.

There has been great progress in the new antibiotics, and the rest does not require him to do it personally, so he is not as busy as before.

"Then I'll send you a message at a different time next time."

When Zhuang Yue heard the previous words, she thought he was being sarcastic to her.

Then I heard what he said next.

Looking at his serious expression, I suddenly realized that he seemed to really think it was a coincidence.

Zhuang Yue: "... This is not good. You are very busy. Don't delay your work for... a small matter."

She originally wanted to say, "Don't do it for my sake," but that would seem too self-indulgent, and she was terrified.

Cheng Mo said: "It won't delay me. I have planned my time well. I will send you messages when I have free time."

Zhuang Yue: “…”

Imagine sending her a message when she is not busy, and then looking at the phone waiting for her reply.

Mom, help!

Why do I suddenly feel guilty?
