Mrs. Qin carried Little Yaoyao to the restroom, and in the living room, Jiang Ye and Old Qin started to chat, while Qin Kai had run off to play with his toys early on.
"I’m telling you, Old Jiang, now that your relationship status is confird, isn’t it ti to report it?"
Jiang Ye responded with a grunt:
"I’ll give it to you when I have so free ti."
"So, I’ll be waiting then. When does Little Junior Sister get off work?" he asked.
"Midnight."
Sss!
"That late?"
"Yeah, their lab is busy with a new project."
After that, they stopped discussing personal matters and officially started talking about work.
...
Laboratory.
Today marked the beginning of the second phase and also the initial visible results, so everyone’s hard work wasn’t in vain.
"Let’s make a bet, till what ti will we finish tonight?"
"Alright, what’s the bet?"
"How about a dinner treat?"
"Sure, I bet twelve o’clock."
"One o’clock."
"Twelve thirty."
Now, it was Lu Jing’s turn:
"Um... I think we might be able to leave work a bit earlier tonight, maybe around eleven-thirty, similar to yesterday."
Pfft~
"Little Junior Sister, if you lose the bet, you’ll have to treat us all to dinner, are you sure you don’t want to change your mind?"
Lu Jing laughed:
"No change."
If she lost, then a dinner treat it is.
The seniors in the lab were actually quite kind; ever since Lu Jing had arrived not long ago, everyone had taken good care of her.
Thus, whether she lost or won, Lu Jing was willingly looking forward to treating everyone to dinner.
Then, suddenly one of the seniors quietly asked:
"Little Junior Sister, um, do you have a boyfriend?"
Uh?
As soon as he asked, the other two seniors imdiately restrained the inquiring senior:
"What’s up, what are you planning?"
"Hey kid, do you have any indecent intentions towards Little Junior Sister?"
"Wait, wait, wait, I’m asking for soone else!"
He seed quite aggrieved.
Asking for soone?
Everyone then released him:
"Asking for who? That little rascal?"
"Just a friend from their departnt in Little Junior Sister’s lab, I won’t say who specifically to spare her the embarrassnt."
After all, they still had to work together in the sa departnt, so it’s better not to know who it was.
Lu Jing felt quite embarrassed but then...
Ah, never mind.
"Senior, um, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, the senior quickly said:
"From your tone, how could we not know you’re taken? I’ll tell him, don’t worry, Little Junior Sister."
Alright then.
Such matters, as the person involved, Lu Jing found it really inappropriate to comnt further.
Luckily, nobody knew who the person was.
For a while, the lab fell silent.
Until Director Long’s figure appeared from outside:
"Why isn’t anyone talking? It’s eerily quiet, I almost thought I walked into the wrong place."
Usually, these students under him could really chat away, their mouths never stopping.
Ahem.
Lu Jing cleared her throat, then said:
"Teacher, we were making a bet."
"Oh? What bet?" he asked with interest.
At this point, the other three seniors also chid in:
"We’re betting on what ti we can finish tonight, and the loser treats everyone to a al!"
Director Long nodded:
"So what tis did you all bet?" he asked.
"So bet twelve, so one, so twelve thirty, and so eleven thirty."
Sss, they really spilled everything honestly.
Director Long looked quite crafty:
"So, it sounds like all of you lost!"
Huh?
So, none of them guessed right?
"Uncle Long, we’re not pulling an all-nighter, are we?"
Please, no, I’m really sleepy.
The others gulped as well.
Director Long humd:
"Let’s see when you guys can get past this bottleneck, once you do, that’s when we’ll finish!"
Tsk.
