Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 307 Hexagram 8

What a load of crap! The data is so bad even our dog can't stand it.

……

The group walked together toward the cafeteria.

Sui Zhichao and Shen Mengyin chatted and laughed all the way.

Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei remained silent throughout.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, everyone got their food and found seats.

Feng Cheng deliberately chose a place that was far away from Qin Xuemei.

He sat down and buried his head in his food, not daring to look up in the direction of Qin Xuemei.

His mind kept replaying the various scenes of his time with Qin Xuemei.

And that joke from summer, my heart feels like it's tightly tangled in a mess.

Qin Xuemei sat opposite him, but her eyes kept drifting towards Feng Cheng.

He mechanically poked at the food with his chopsticks, but had no appetite.

The food seemed like chewing wax to her, and she could hardly swallow it.

She didn't understand why Feng Cheng had suddenly become so cold.

There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them before.

Meng Yue sat next to Qin Xuemei, watching all of this unfold, her curiosity growing stronger.

She quietly leaned closer to Qin Xuemei and whispered a question in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Xuemei, what's wrong between you and Feng Cheng? I feel like there's something strange about you two."

Qin Xuemei was slightly taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and she quickly shook her head and said.

"No, it's nothing, don't make wild guesses."

Although she said that, her mind was in complete turmoil.

A flood of thoughts overwhelmed her, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

Meng Yue listened to Qin Xuemei's clumsy attempt at cover-up and was somewhat skeptical, but she didn't press the matter further.

After the meal, everyone dispersed and went to their respective work posts.

Feng Cheng returned to his dormitory to rest, since it was his day off.

As soon as he got back to his dormitory, he collapsed onto his bed.

Looking at the mottled ceiling, all I could think of was Qin Xuemei.

He didn't understand why he cared so much about that joke from the summer.

They couldn't understand what was hidden behind Qin Xuemei's complicated gaze.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue arrived at the laboratory.

Qin Xuemei frequently lost focus while working, and almost dropped the experimental equipment in her hands several times.

Meng Yue reminded her several times before she came to her senses and gave an awkward smile.

But after a short while, my thoughts drifted away again.

She kept replaying Feng Cheng's evasive gaze in her mind, and an indescribable sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

She couldn't help but ask herself, what exactly was she expecting?

What does Feng Cheng's attitude signify?

In the afternoon, the sun became increasingly scorching.

The wind on the dam has become warm, and it feels sticky on people.

Feng Cheng couldn't stay in bed any longer, so he got up and went outside.

He walked toward the laboratory as if possessed.

Arriving at the laboratory entrance, watching Qin Xuemei's busy figure from afar, I felt a mix of emotions.

He wanted to go up and say something, but he was afraid of facing that awkward situation.

His steps faltered, and he hesitated to move forward.

"Hey, Feng Cheng, aren't you off today?"

Meng Yue, with her sharp eyes, spotted Feng Cheng at the lab door and asked him a question with great curiosity.

Upon hearing Meng Yue's voice, Feng Cheng glanced at Qin Xuemei in a fluster and made up an excuse.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just came to pick up something!"

Hearing Meng Yue's voice, Qin Xuemei also secretly glanced behind her.

Their eyes met in mid-air, then parted just as quickly.

It felt as if touching it for even a second longer would unleash an unspeakable storm.

Meng Yue glanced at Feng Cheng, then at Qin Xuemei, and had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

She smiled slightly, suppressing a laugh as she teased him.

"Hey, Feng Cheng, did you leave something in the lab?"

Feng Cheng only realized what Meng Yue was teasing him when he heard her teasing him.

I usually work at the nursery and come to the lab very rarely.

How could something have been left here?

His face flushed instantly, and he stammered, unable to answer.

Her eyes darted around the lab in a panic, like a frightened deer.

Seeing his predicament, Qin Xuemei couldn't bear to see him so embarrassed and gently came to his rescue.

"It might be some data you missed when you were checking the data before. Let me look for it for you."

As she spoke, she turned around and began rummaging through the cabinet. Her movements appeared calm, but she was actually extremely nervous inside.

Meng Yue suppressed a laugh and deliberately walked out, giving the two of them some space alone, and didn't forget to say something.

"Alright, Xuemei, you help Feng Cheng look for it. I'll go check the experimental nursery!"

After saying that, he left the laboratory without looking back.

Before leaving, he also helped close the laboratory door.

After closing the door, Meng Yue pressed her ear against it.

Curiosity drove her to want to hear what the two people inside were saying.
