I failed again

"I missed you and came to see you." Xiao Ran said.

Liang Rui looked at Xiao Ran without saying anything. He didn't believe that the other party came here because he really missed him. He was afraid that he was using this as an excuse to come in and check the progress of vaccine development.

"You've lost a lot of weight." Xiao Ran's eyes were full of heartache. "For the sake of research, you really don't even want your life. You don't care about your body at all."

"I want to develop a vaccine as soon as possible to end the apocalypse." Liang Rui's voice was as calm as ever. "If you have nothing to do, go back first. I still need to continue my experiments."

"I have time today. I can wait here for you to finish the experiment and then go back to rest together." Xiao Ran said.

"Yeah." After Liang Rui responded, he buried his head in the experiment again.

Xiao Ran did not disturb him. He stepped outside the door and looked at him quietly.

At noon, someone came to deliver food. Xiao Ran took it, then came to Liang Rui's side and fed Liang Rui, who was busy with experiments, as usual.

The relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the time a year ago when Xiao Ran had not yet left the institute.

After feeding Liang Rui lunch, Xiao Ran stayed by Liang Rui's side and watched him perform experiments.

Time soon came to night. Under Xiao Ran's tough attitude, Liang Rui could only temporarily end the experiment in his hands and go back to the dormitory with Xiao Ran to rest.

"You don't have to follow me all the time. I will take a rest when I'm tired." Liang Rui said.

"Yes, you will go back to rest only when you are exhausted from doing experiments and can't do it anymore, right?" Xiao Ran said, "You are still like this, and your students don't try to persuade you."

"They advised me, but I just wanted to squeeze out more time to do experiments," Liang Rui defended his students.

"You can speak for them." Xiao Ran no longer dwelled on this. After all, he knew Liang Rui's character very well, and it was normal that those people could not persuade him.

Fortunately, Liang Rui knew to rest when he was tired, otherwise, this guy would have exhausted himself to death.

"Hasn't there been any new recruits into the institute recently? I didn't see a single new face today." Xiao Ran said.

It shouldn't be like this. The base has accepted many survivors over the past year. There should be at least one or two people joining the research institute, right?

As a result, when he looked around today, he saw only familiar faces, not a single new face. Xiao Ran felt something was wrong.

"It's true that there haven't been any new people for a long time." Liang Rui said, "Fortunately, there are enough researchers in the laboratory now, so there is no shortage of manpower."

It’s not that there are no new people, it’s just that the new people hid themselves and Xiao Ran didn’t see them.

"That's good." Xiao Ran said.

The two returned to the dormitory together. Due to the scarcity of water, they just wiped their bodies and lay down on the bed.

Xiao Ran held Liang Rui in his arms, and it felt like he was holding a bunch of bones, which made him feel dizzy.

Xiao Ran looked at Liang Rui who had fallen asleep in his arms, and his heart was filled with heartache.

He didn't even care about himself for a vaccine, and he really didn't know what to say.

I will go and persuade His Majesty tomorrow to take action earlier. This way, Liang Rui won’t have to worry about the vaccine anymore.

Xiao Ran began to think about how to persuade Chu Yunze tomorrow.

The next morning, after Xiao Ran sent Liang Rui to the laboratory, he left the institute and ran to the accommodation area to find Chu Yunze. As a result, Chu Yunze had already gone to the administrative building.

Xiao Ran didn't go to the administrative building either. He just stayed in the room, staring at Jiang Ruoyuan while waiting for Chu Yunze to come back.

After Jiang Ruoyuan and Xiao Ran stared at each other for a few rounds, he couldn't help but asked, "What do you want to see my brother about?"

Xiao Ran found that Jiang Ruoyuan was becoming more and more proficient at calling His Majesty "brother". "You are becoming more and more proficient at calling me brother."

"What else? If you are not skilled and they find out, you will die." Jiang Ruoyuan said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Why can't you let me know?"

"It's not impossible." Xiao Ran said, "It's just that I don't want to say it twice. I'll say it when His Majesty comes back. If His Majesty agrees to let you sit in, you'll know."

Jiang Ruoyuan was speechless and pretended to say something wrong. It would be strange if Chu Yunze let him sit in!

However, it doesn’t matter if you are not allowed to listen. I will let 996 broadcast it in real time later!

The two of them just sat there facing each other, and the main character was, "If you don't move, I won't move either."

As soon as Chu Yunze came back and opened the door, he saw the two of them sitting there like wooden sculptures, not moving at all. Hei Anzhong also saw that the two of them turned their heads in unison and looked at him.

"What are you two doing?" Chu Yunze asked as he turned on the light, "Just sitting there without turning on the light? Why are you so humiliated?"

"We are waiting for you to come back." Jiang Ruoyuan replied.

He actually sat there and stared at Xiao Ran for the entire day. He began to doubt his own brain.

Why should he sit here with Xiao Ran if he has nothing to do? Wouldn't it be better for him to go out and wait until Chu Yunze comes back in the evening and then come back with him?

I have to wait here with Xiao Ran like a madman.

Fortunately, he is a zombie now and does not feel hungry, otherwise, he would have starved to death today.

"Why are you waiting for me to come back?" Chu Yunze looked at Jiang Ruoyuan, "Xiao Ran has something to say, what about you?"

"Wait until you come back to listen to Xiao Ran's story." Jiang Ruoyuan complained in his heart. How could he know that Xiao Ran had something to say just by looking at him? How did he know?

996 in his mind heard Jiang Ruoyuan's question and kindly explained, "Host, is there a possibility that Xiao Ran would not come to see Chu Yunze if he had nothing to do?"

"...It seems to be like this." Jiang Ruoyuan said, Qin Luoyu and Xiao Ran would not come to Chu Yunze unless there was something important, they would just quietly play their own roles.

No wonder Chu Yunze knew Xiao Ran had something to say just by looking at him.

"Really?" Chu Yunze chuckled, "Then go back to your room first."

Jiang Ruoyuan: ???

Chu Yunze's smile and tone made him almost think that he had heard it wrong. The other party actually asked him to stay instead of going back to the room.

Looking at the gaze cast by Chu Yunze, Jiang Ruoyuan knew that he had not heard wrongly, and he quickly got up and went back to his room.

Anyway, even if I wasn't there, I could still know what they were talking about.

Chu Yunze came to the place where Jiang Ruoyuan just sat and sat down, "I teased him and he really left."

Jiang Ruoyuan, watching the 996 broadcast: ...

"...Do you want me to call him back?" Xiao Ran asked.

"No need. He doesn't really want to listen, otherwise he would find a way to stay." Chu Yunze said.

Jiang Ruoyuan: ...Who said he didn’t really want to hear it?

If Chu Yunze said that he was just teasing him, he would go back and sit down!

"Tell me about your business." Chu Yunze said, "How is the vaccine research progressing at the institute?"

"It's a little bit more advanced than a year ago. We don't know when a vaccine can be developed." Xiao Ran said, "The ability recovery agent has been mass-produced and a lot of it is stored..."

Chu Yunze listened to Xiao Ran talking about the recent situation of the institute, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time. He waited until Xiao Ran finished speaking before speaking, "Keep an eye on it. I don't want to hear about the successful development of the vaccine from Feng Linxi."

Xiao Ran did not agree immediately as usual, but said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea..."

"Go ahead." Chu Yunze said lazily, supporting his chin with his hand.

"Let's start in advance." Xiao Ran said.

When Jiang Ruoyuan heard this, he almost jumped out of the bed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he still remembered that Chu Yunze and the others were outside and he couldn't make too much noise, so he forced himself to hold it back.

But he was still very confused. No, why would Xiao Ran suddenly propose to take action in advance?

Chu Yunze didn't react much. He looked at Xiao Ran with amber pupils and said in a light voice, "Reason."

"I'm not often in the institute now, so I can't know Liang Rui's research progress very well." Xiao Ran glanced at Chu Yunze, who still didn't react much, and continued, "Another reason is that I don't want to see Liang Rui working so hard for the vaccine."

After hearing Xiao Ran's reasons, not only Chu Yunze reacted, Jiang Ruoyuan also started to curse 996.

"No, what's his train of thought?!" Jiang Ruoyuan was very speechless, "In order to prevent Liang Rui from working hard for the vaccine, he directly destroyed the research institute?!"

He is mentally ill!
