Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Qiao Yun: Don’t be afraid, I’ll be gentle. Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Qiao Yun: Don’t be afraid, I’ll be gentle. Li Hanzhou looked deeply into Qiao Yun’s eyes and said, “Because as long as you and I don’t separate, they won’t really do anything to .”
Qiao Yun was montarily puzzled, not understanding his logic.
Li Hanzhou chuckled lightly, “If sothing really happened to , would you be upset?”
“I would,” Qiao Yun answered without hesitation, that was beyond doubt.
Li Hanzhou’s lips curled up, his mood very pleased, “They care so much about you, they wouldn’t want to upset you.”
Because of this, they didn’t dare to go too far, at most they would just set a trap for him.
But since they were Qiao Yun’s family, he could only accept the test.
Qiao Yun’s heart stirred slightly and she asked, “Would you be angry?”
“No,” Li Hanzhou glanced at her with a lazy look, “If soone cares about you and looks after you, I wouldn’t be angry.”
If it were soone else, daring to give him attitude, he wouldn’t have been as indifferent as he was today.
However…
Li Hanzhou moved closer to Qiao Yun and whispered, “Considering how pitiful I am, don’t I deserve a little reward, hmm?”
Qiao Yun blinked, unable to see where Li Hanzhou felt aggrieved; instead, she felt he seed rather pleased.
Of course, Professor Qiao was still very generous, she stated, “What do you want? I’ll give it to you.”
“No need to give, I’ll take it myself.”
He suddenly leaned in, and a kiss landed on Qiao Yun’s lips.
As quick as the touch ca, it ended, and Qiao Yun felt nothing before, in the next second, she said firmly, “That was wrong of you.”
“What’s wrong about it?” Li Hanzhou argued convincingly, “You are my girlfriend, kissing is normal.”
Qiao Yun tightened her face, “I’m driving, you’re breaking traffic rules.”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
Professor Qiao decided not to deal with Li Hanzhou any further, lest he commit more violations.
Li Hanzhou couldn’t resist laughing out loud, a smile tugging at his eyes and brows, his girlfriend was still as literal as ever.
…
About an hour after passing the village entrance, they finally arrived at the base.
The first thing that appeared before them was a majestic white building, with an architectural style that was incredibly futuristic and sci-fi.
To enter, they had to pass through several security checks.
After passing the security checks, they realized that there were really few people at the base, indicative of how difficult it was to gain entrance to Tianqi Research Institute.
Researchers passing by, seeing Qiao Yun, although excited, probably out of respect for Professor Qiao’s authority, they were nervous, greeting Qiao Yun with trembling voices.
Qiao Yun just nodded to them and let them go about their duties.
The Lu Family mbers, seeing this, were sowhat unaccustod to it, realizing for the first ti how much of a daunting presence Professor Qiao was.
Pei Ya, noticing the discomfort of the Lu Family mbers, thought for a mont and said, “Co on, I’ll take you on a tour; I haven’t been back here in a while, so it’s a good chance to look around.”
Lu Shiran, hearing that they could tour Tianqi Research Institute, his eyes imdiately lit up, and he was no longer as reserved as when he first arrived, urging, “Let’s go then.”
This was Tianqi, after all.
There were definitely a lot of high-tech things.
Considering that there were two won in the touring group, Su Mian and Li Miao, Pei Ya also brought Han Wang along.
Han Wang furrowed his brow, seemingly reluctant, but ultimately compromised.
Qiao Yun didn’t go with them; she grabbed Li Hanzhou’s hand, “Co with .”
Li Hanzhou did not ask where they were going, but instead held Qiao Yun’s small hand tightly, letting her lead the way.
The Han brothers, though they knew that Professor Qiao and Li Hanzhou were dating, had not sensed any intimacies between them since the beginning, and now, seeing Li Hanzhou holding Qiao Yun’s hand, their eyes nearly popped out.
They stared nacingly at the intertwined hands, wondering whether to braise or steam this pig’s hand.
Qiao Yun paused after a couple of steps, looked back and instructed those behind her who hadn’t snapped out of it yet, “You guys don’t follow.”
Then she continued walking, pulling Li Hanzhou along.
Han was dumbfounded, his face showing an expression uglier than crying, “Are we being shunned?”
Han Wang said enigmatically, “You’re not wrong, we are indeed being rejected.”
Han Wang, acting like the big brother, comforted by patting Han Wang’s shoulder, “Stop pretending, it’s not the first ti we’ve been rejected.”
“…”
True that.
“What do you think, where is the teacher going to take her?”
Everyone looked at each other and simultaneously said, “The laboratory.”
…
Li Hanzhou’s gaze fell on their clasped hands, and he chuckled, “Girlfriend, where do you want to take ?”
“We’re here.”
Qiao Yun said, leaning over to scan her iris on the machine, after which the security door opened.
She pulled Li Hanzhou inside.
Once Li Hanzhou entered, his peach blossom eyes surveyed the surroundings.
The whole room was white, filled with nurous instrunts; it was definitely a laboratory.
He humd, “A laboratory?”
“Mhm,” Qiao Yun answered him.
She opened a cabinet, took out a lab coat, put it on, and then donned so disposable gloves.
Li Hanzhou watched Qiao Yun intently, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
A girlfriend in a lab coat, quite tempting.
Qiao Yun walked over to a workbench and lifted her small chin towards Li Hanzhou, “Lie down.”
“???” Li Hanzhou asked ambiguously, “You want to lie down?”
Qiao Yun nodded, “Yes.”
Li Hanzhou studied her for a long while and sighed, “You know, what you just said sounds very dangerous.”
Her expression blank, Qiao Yun thought about what she was about to do and replied, “Indeed, it’s dangerous.”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
Allow him his fantasies for a few seconds.
Qiao Yun patted the workbench, gentle in her tone, “Don’t be scared, I’ll be gentle, you won’t feel a thing, trust .”
Li Hanzhou fell silent for a mont and then said, “Honestly, you sound like a bad auntie luring a child.”
Qiao Yun earnestly explained, “I’m not bad, I just want to examine your…well, brain, and…” she glanced at Li Hanzhou’s distinct, slender, and strong hands, then whispered for a compromise, “Can I use your hands as a template?”
Li Hanzhou cracked a smile.
What’s going on, am I really being treated like an experintal subject?
Qiao Yun’s eyes narrowed, seemingly pleased, “I’ll be very gentle, be a good boy and let examine your body.”
She had wanted to do this for a while now.
From the first ti she set eyes on Li Hanzhou, she was observing him with the gaze of examining a specin.
Although their relationship was different now, Qiao Yun hadn’t given up on studying him.
Now that he was on her turf, she could do whatever she wanted.
Li Hanzhou feebly protested, “Can I refuse?”
Qiao Yun uttered, “But you can’t leave.”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
Turns out he had walked right into the trap?
He chuckled softly and suddenly lifted Qiao Yun onto the workbench, positioning her comfortably with his hands on both sides of her body.
Qiao Yun was slightly taken aback, instinctively asking, “What are you doing?”
“Isn’t it about studying my body, let’s switch it up a bit…
The rest of his words were cut off by their lips eting.
…
anwhile, on the other side.
The Lu Family mbers were given a thorough tour of the Tianqi Research Institute by Pei Ya, marveling at innovative technologies that left them utterly astonished.
Han Wang, serving as the guide, explained the principles behind each one to them.
Lu Shiran was thoroughly engrossed.
Although the others didn’t quite understand, they were very interested.
Only Li Miao wore a confused expression, as if wondering who she was, where she was, and why she had to be tortured here.
The heartache of a poor student lost in a world of top students, who could understand?
Li Miao’s head began to spin, feeling like she might go insane if she stayed any longer, overwheld by the barrage of incomprehensible terms.
She glanced at the ti and nervously spoke up, “So, um, it’s almost six o’clock, aren’t you guys hungry?”
“Not hungry, I’m not hungry at all,” replied Lu Shiran without turning his head, his eyes sparkling as he asked Han Wang, “Teacher Han, how does this machine operate?”
Li Miao pouted and decided not to bother with Lu Shiran anymore, thinking what a big, clueless guy he was, completely lacking empathy for won.
Su Mian could tell what Li Miao was thinking just by looking at her pitiful little expression, couldn’t help but smile, and chid in to help her out, “I’m feeling a bit hungry too.”
“Let’s go eat first, then,” suggested Pei Ya.
Li Miao was the first to agree.
Lu Shiran’s objection was ineffective and he felt slightly resentful, is eating as important as studying?
Han Wang had Pei Ya take them to the restaurant, and then turned to notify Qiao Yun, but before she could reach him, they bumped into each other.
“Professor, it’s ti to eat,” she said.
She looked at Qiao Yun; her expression paused a mont, then continued with dangerously narrowed eyes.
Qiao Yun’s cheeks turned slightly red, responding calmly, “Okay.”
Li Hanzhou thought the small child trying so hard to look stern was rather cute.
Han Wang, who had never been in a relationship, also noticed that Professor Qiao wasn’t quite himself, especially rembering their situation alone together…
Her expression grew even colder, casting a chilly glance at Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou showed a smile on his face.
Inside the Tianqi Research Institute, he wouldn’t actually do anything untoward to Qiao Yun.
Han Wang was irritated internally but, out of respect for Professor Qiao, she didn’t lash out, instead planning to find an opportunity to warn him during their several more days’ stay.
…
To welco the Lu Family mbers, Pei Ya specially prepared a large spread of delicious food, with every kind of dish available.
Su Mian exclaid, “As expected of Tianqi, even the chefs are outstanding.”
Pei Ya explained, “It wasn’t the chefs, these were all made by Han San. He studies dicine, good at cutting things.”
Han San smiled slightly, modest in his skills and fa.
Su Mian looked at the tall, handso man in front of her, finding it hard to imagine him cooking, indeed, appearances are deceiving.
The group sat down to eat.
This ti, Li Hanzhou didn’t manage to sit next to Qiao Yun, as his spot was taken by Han Wang.
Clearly intentional.
He smiled, not minding, and sat down casually. Then, speaking in a gentle tone, he said, “This ti, I’ve prepared so little gadgets for you.”
Zhou You had already brought over his things earlier.
The Han brothers scoffed, thinking themselves not so easily bought by gifts.
This move was a mistake.
Li Hanzhou casually pulled out a thread-bound book that seed quite old. He raised an eyebrow at Han San, “You study dicine, this will be perfect for you.”
Han San glanced at it disdainfully.
But then, he was stunned.
Could this be… the lost ancient dical texts?
He had searched for so long, never finding them, and now suddenly they were right in front of him.
Han was wildly excited and stretched out his hand to take it.
“Cough…”
Han stopped mid-reach and turned his head to see several brothers staring at him.
“…”
He looked conflicted, the anguish apparent on his face, as if heaven intended to ruin him.
If he took it, wouldn’t he be soft on others?
If he didn’t, ah, he would die!
Qiao Yun appropriately spoke up, “Rember to thank for gifts given by elders.”
“Okay, teacher,” Han treasured the book in his arms with an expression of mysterious delight.
Although Li Hanzhou was detestable, books were innocent.
And since the teacher had spoken, he couldn’t disobey, could he?
The remaining brothers despised Han’s action.
Pah, vulgar.
Then the next mont.
They looked at the gifts in their arms, so dear they couldn’t part with them, and their expressions were bewildered.
What was going on, why had they taken them?
And how did Li Hanzhou understand them so well?
Han Wang looked somberly at Pei Ya.
Pei Ya was hungrily gobbling down his food.
I don’t know, don’t ask , it was Professor Qiao who made say it.
Qiao Yun asked Li Hanzhou, “Is this considered bribery?”
“Of course not,” Li Hanzhou picked up his chopsticks and served Qiao Yun a piece of fish, “A father buying gifts for his sons is proper, even though these sons are a bit old, but as long as you’re happy.”
Qiao Yun: “……”
…
After dinner.
Pei Ya then assigned them rooms, urging them to rest well first since coming up the mountain was surely exhausting.
When Li Hanzhou learned that he was assigned a room in a corner, he asked Qiao Yun, “Where are you staying?”
“My old room,” Qiao Yun pointed above her head, “in the lab upstairs.”
She used to forget the ti while conducting research, so her room was the closest to the lab.
Li Hanzhou fell silent; so he and Qiao Yun were to be worlds apart?
He frowned unhappily.
The initiator, Han Wang, apologetically said, “There are many labs in the base, and there are only a few rooms available for living.”
Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, his deanor quite casual, “I understand.”
Seeing his calm, Han Wang felt uncomfortably indigent.
Unaware that Li Hanzhou’s room was purposefully assigned so far away, Qiao Yun suggested he rest first.
But that night, everyone from the Lu Family who was new to Tianqi Research Institute and shocked by its richness and high-tech presence, indeed suffered insomnia.
They realized that compared to Tianqi, the Lu Family was less significant than ants, yet Qiaoqiao was willing to stay with the Lu Family, which both touched and burdened them deeply.
Having such an outstanding Qiaoqiao in their family was a blessing they must have cultivated over three lifetis.
…
While Qiao Yun was still at the research institute, Jiang Jing was reluctantly attending a banquet with Xu Qiao.
She initially did not want to show up; people in Yuncheng’s second-generation circle were mocking her, and she had no desire to embarrass herself further.
Xu Qiao finally persuaded Jiang Jing to co out, “You think it’s just a simple banquet, but I heard a very important person might be coming this ti.”
“Who is it?” Jiang Jing had put on light makeup, dressed in a gown, looking graceful and stunning.
