Chapter 78: Eating Her Heart Out
After dreaming all night, Qi Yuan woke up in the morning in a state of confusion for a long time.
"You look pale. Are you sick?" During breakfast, Chu Yuan put his hand on her forehead. "Your temperature is normal. Didn't you sleep well?"
"I had a dream." Qi Yuan poked the fried egg in the bowl. "I dreamed about the past."
"Oh? Have you recalled our romantic past?"
Qi Yuan shook her head. "I don't remember anything after waking up."
Qi Yuan was frustrated that despite having dreamed all night, she forgot it upon waking up.
Chu Yuan took advantage of the situation to touch the girl's head. He threw out the bait with a smile. "If you want to know, I can tell you."
"Really?" Qi Yuan was doubtful, "Are you so free?" Wasn’t this guy the captain of the first superhuman team? He was usually so busy, yet he had time to stay at home and tell stories?
Chu Yuan smiled casually. "I don't have time during the day, but I can do it when we go to bed at night. I have more free time at night..."
Qi Yuan said expressionlessly, "No, thanks."
Chu Yuan shrugged indifferently. "Then forget it –– "Remember to take notes next time you dream, so you don't have to worry about forgetting it when you wake up."
Qi Yuan, "..."
……
The next day, Si Xu went out to the laboratory early. Before going to the laboratory, he first went to the administration hall. In the lobby, he changed his points registration system to Jiang Ran's name.
After receiving the ID card from the registration office and listening to the staff's explanation, Jiang Ran was surprised. "Can these points be transferred to others?"
"Yes." Knowing her identity, the staff smiled politely. "But few people would do that... Just like a couple's prenuptial agreement, no one wants to share their property with another person, especially under the current circumstances."
The staff said seriously, and Jiang Ran immediately felt that the ID card in her hand weighed a thousand pounds.
"Can I... give these points back?"
"Professor Si said that he doesn't need to use the points usually. He gave them to you to kill time when you go shopping... Oh, by the way, Professor Si has directly changed his points registration system to your name, which means that the points he gets in the future will be recorded on your ID card." After answering dutifully, the staff showed an envious expression. "Miss Jiang, Professor Si is really good to you."
The points registration system was changed to her name? Although Jiang Ran knew that the man had an attached space and didn't care about the materials and equipment in the base, she was still moved to tears.
Boo hoo, as expected, good men only existed in novels. If there were such men in the world she originally lived in, she wouldn’t have been single for twenty years.
After seeing off the staff, Jiang Ran took the meal she prepared and went to deliver lunch to Si Xu.
She was not yet familiar with the base, so she only found the entrance of the laboratory after asking two teams of patrolling superhumans.
However, before she could enter, she was stopped at the door.
"I'm sorry, this is the laboratory." The man blocked her with one hand and looked at her sideways. "No visitors are allowed."
The man's appraising eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable, but not wanting to cause trouble, Jiang Ran politely said, "I'm here to see Si Xu. Please help me contact him."
The man looked away and said coldly, "Professor Si doesn't like to be disturbed when he is working."
Jiang Ran frowned. "Then I'll wait for him in the lobby. Is that okay?"
"No visitors are allowed to enter the laboratory."
Jiang Ran was helpless and was just about to ask him to help deliver the lunch to Si Xu when she heard the approaching sound of boots scraping the ground from far away.
"Captain Wei! Good afternoon!" The cold-faced man smiled gently and greeted the approaching girl politely.
Wei Yage nodded, glanced at Jiang Ran, and walked directly into the laboratory without stopping.
"Wait!" Jiang Ran glanced at Wei Yage and looked at the man who was blocking her. "She is a staff member of the laboratory?"
Why couldn’t this woman take a hint? The man replied impatiently, "Captain Wei is the leader of the sixth superhuman team."
"Since she is not a staff member of the laboratory, why can she enter and exit at will?" Jiang Ran sneered. "No visitors are allowed –– What? Is Wei Yage going in to donate blood or points?"
Angered by her sarcastic tone, the man said in a deep voice, "Captain Wei has always guarded the safety of the base and done her best for the base. What right does someone like you who relies on others to support you have to evaluate her?"
"Huh?" Jiang Ran smiled instead of being angry. "It seems that you know who I am."
Su Qin said that many men in the base were fans of Wei Yage. Now, it seemed that was true.
This person was Wei Yage's fan, and he deliberately caused trouble for her to please Wei Yage.
In that case...
Jiang Ran didn't argue with the man. She looked directly at Wei Yage and smiled gently. "Captain Wei, he said I’m just a visitor and won't let me enter the laboratory building. What do you think?"
Wei Yage turned around. She looked at Jiang Ran, smiled slightly, and said casually, "This is his job. We seek your understanding, Miss Jiang."
"So, you feel the same way?" Jiang Ran sighed. "Alright, since both of you said so..."
She gave up so easily? She originally thought that this girl would still have some ability to impress her even if she wasn’t with Seventh Brother.
Wei Yage snorted boredly and turned to leave.
The man tried to shove Jiang Ran. "Leave! Don't disturb our work!"
Avoiding the man's hand, Jiang Ran did not leave. Instead, she walked to the door and sat down on the steps.
The girl made it clear that she didn't want to leave, and the staff didn't bother to talk to her.
After an unknown period of time, footsteps and voices came from the lobby.
Jiang Ran stood up slowly, holding the thermos container and waiting obediently.
"Ranran?" Shen Yao was the first to notice the girl standing obediently at the door. She glanced at Si Xu and teased, "Seventh Brother, Ranran has come to meet you for lunch."
The originally sleepy man subconsciously quickened his pace after he saw his girl, leaving his colleagues behind.
"Si Xu." Jiang Ran wasn’t in a bad mood after being stopped from entering. She skipped to him happily. "I prepared lunch for you."
When the girl stopped in front of him, he reached out and touched her cold face. "Why didn't you come in?"
His voice was only loud enough for the few people present to hear.
The superhuman on duty at the door paled slightly and subconsciously glanced at Wei Yage.
All the members of the superhuman team knew that Captain Wei was interested in Professor Si. It was precisely because of Captain Wei's presence that the girls in the superhuman team tried their best to suppress their thoughts on Professor Si.
Of course, the men also suppressed their thoughts on Wei Yage.
But that didn’t mean that they wouldn't defend her.
When they heard that Professor Si brought back an eye candy from his trip this time, all the men in the team felt sorry for Wei Yage.
Some people also suggested that the eye candy should be taught a lesson and told to stay away from Professor Si. However, due to her special status and the backing of the Shen family, they did not dare to act rashly.
It happened that he was on duty today, and came across the eye candy who came to see Professor Si. Hence, he thought of using his position to make things difficult for her and seek revenge for Captain Wei.
However... It was the first time he saw Professor Si being so gentle to a woman. This eye candy seemed to be more favored than he thought.
At the thought of Si Xu's various methods, the man's back was unknowingly soaked with cold sweat.
"I thought you were about to get off work, so it's the same as waiting here."
Without saying anything about how she was forbidden from entering, Jiang Ran glanced at Wei Yage, and the woman happened to be looking at her too.
After their eyes met, Jiang Ran raised her face and her eyes crinkled up beautifully. "Si Xu, do you call the shots in the laboratory?"
"Yes."
"Then when I come over next time, can I just come in directly without having to wait outside? I won't disturb your work, right?"
Si Xu chuckled. "You can come and find me anytime you want."
"Oh~" Jiang Ran proclaimed and glanced at the staff whose face had turned pale, and Wei Yage, whose eyes were lowered. Jiang Ran responded with a smile, "I got it."
She said meaningfully, "Next time, I won't be polite and will go in directly to find you."
To defeat an enemy, capture the leader first. Hit someone where it hurt.
Since Wei Yage used her subordinates to cause trouble for her, she naturally couldn't just let Wei Yage bully her.
Hah, so what if Wei Yage had many fanboys? It was enough for Jiang Ran to have Si Xu.
As the saying went, rather than killing someone, it was better to expose their intentions –– she wasn’t adept at killing people, but she could try to make Wei Yage eat her heart out by exposing her intentions.
Jiang Ran's eyes crinkled up even more, and she held Si Xu’s hand. "Where are we going to eat?"
Si Xu turned around and looked at Shen Yao and the others who were watching the show. The latter immediately left to leave some private space for the two of them.
The moment she passed by Wei Yage, Jiang Ran glanced at her clenched fists with a smile, and sighed softly. "Sigh, some things are just not meant to be yours. No matter how many underhanded means you use, some things are just not yours. Haha."
The woman did not stop or look back. She followed Shen Yao all the way out of the lobby.
Between the fingers of her clenched fists, blood dripped onto the ground.
