Chapter 685: When It’s Time to Back Down, You’d Better Back Down

Xiao Bei said, "Chu Yin’er is a very meticulous and careful person. She never speaks without certainty. If something isn’t confirmed, she won’t mention it. Let’s wait until she conducts her personal research on that new type of virus, and see what happens then."

"But we clearly have the components and the antidote, so what exactly is the problem?" After the excitement and joy, Bai Haoxue really didn’t want to hear disappointing news.

Xiao Bei shrugged, "Wait for the results. Chu Yin’er’s coming out this time should yield results."

But they waited, a whole day and night passed, and Chu Yin’er still hadn’t come out of the lab.

In the evening, Ji Hanyu told Bai Haoxue to go to sleep.

Bai Haoxue wanted to wait for Chu Yin’er, but even by eleven or twelve, there was still no sign of her coming out of the lab.

"Bai Haoxue..." Ji Hanyu said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Bai Haoxue said, "Why should I sleep? I can’t sleep before the results are out."

Ji Hanyu simply lifted Bai Haoxue onto his shoulder, forcing her to go to bed.

"Ji Hanyu, I already said I can’t sleep." Bai Haoxue, "Isn’t Miss Chu still in the lab not sleeping either? I just want to wait for her to come out."

Ji Hanyu snapped, "If Chu Yin’er doesn’t come out for a day, you won’t sleep?"

Bai Haoxue: "So what? I’m waiting idly, while Miss Chu is still dedicated and working hard on her research. I’d feel guilty if I went to sleep."

Ji Hanyu chuckled coldly, "So you think that because Chu Yin’er isn’t sleeping, everyone should stay up with her too.

Because she’s researching, but others are sleeping, that’s a crime?"

Bai Haoxue: "..."

She didn’t mean it like that, but Ji Hanyu twisted her words skillfully, and seemingly everything he said made sense.

But she really didn’t mean it that way.

At this moment, making her sleep was impossible; she would rather wait.

Ji Hanyu directly threw Bai Haoxue onto the bed, "Even if you can’t sleep, you should at least close your eyes and rest."

Bai Haoxue kept her eyes open: "..."

Ji Hanyu: "Bai Haoxue, do I have to go to Xiao Bei and get you a sedative so you’d sleep?"

Bai Haoxue immediately closed her eyes: "..."

You have to back down when needed!

Annoying Ji Hanyu might really lead him to do it.

So Bai Haoxue closed her eyes, initially planning to get up once Ji Hanyu left.

Because he’s been quite busy lately, handling Ji Group matters with remote meetings and remote work.

But Ji Hanyu stayed in the room without leaving, and Bai Haoxue pretended to keep her eyes closed.

Eventually, she actually fell asleep.

After all, it was already midnight, and she would usually be asleep by then.

In the end, when Bai Haoxue woke up the next day, Chu Yin’er still hadn’t come out of the lab.

"Miss Chu is overworking herself. I’ll prepare something delicious for her so she can replenish right after coming out."

Bai Haoxue prepared a table full of rich dishes, but Chu Yin’er was still in the lab.

Xiao Bei, "You’re quite anxious. Why don’t you focus on your work to divert your attention? Otherwise, I’ll get worried watching you.

For people like us, staying in the lab for three days and nights is quite common."

However, Bai Haoxue’s anxiety is mainly due to her deep care and concern for Ji Hanyu.

Xiao Bei felt comforted by this...
