Huo Rou looked at his burning gaze, and heard the pitiful tone that had never come from Qin Ningyi's mouth.
She hugged him tightly and entered the nearby lounge.
When he wanted to make a move, Huo Rou remembered his words from before and said coldly, "Be careful of your wound, no touching!"
Qin Ningyi had no choice but to obey, so he tilted his head and bit her buttons one by one.
The wind and rain outside had nothing to do with them, yet a storm had not ceased within the room.
A person who had been hungry for too long could not be satisfied when seeing meat.
As Huo Rou fell into a daze, she silently thought that she had only wanted to say one sentence.
She just wanted to say thank you...
Thank you for his sincerity and purity that allowed her to return from hell.
The exhaustion and satisfaction in her body left her with no strength to think further, and she fell into a deep sleep, leaning against the warmth beside her.
When she woke up again, her clothes had already been changed, and they were in her favorite style.
She thought it must have been new items obtained from Qin Feiwǎn's studio again.
Huo Rou rubbed her sore thighs and got up to go out.
Qin Ningyi had slept with her for a while, and as reluctant as he was, he had to get up and handle official business.
Too many things had been delayed in the past few days, and he had to finish them quickly. He had to take Huo Rou back for his grandmother's birthday in two months. There was still a lot to prepare in advance.
Seeing Huo Rou come out, Qin Ningyi raised his eyebrows, skillfully pushed his wheelchair over, and pulled her into his arms. "I've never heard of anyone saying thank you after doing this."
The "thank you" that Huo Rou wanted to say when she was drowsy had already been spoken.
Qin Ningyi found the "thank you" both funny and exasperating, but the person who said it was asleep.
He had always harbored a question.
Huo Rou's face flushed. That sentence wasn't said at that time! kanδん
She struggled to get up, "Hurry up and get to work."
It was probably unclear to explain now, and it wouldn't have the same taste if she said it later. It was better not to bring up the topic.
She sat back on the sofa and continued to study the information Xiao Yu Da had sent her.
The next day, nearing noon, Huo Rou finally pulled herself out of her dazed sleep.
Looking at the missed calls on her phone, the appointment with the project team had already passed.
To prevent the medicine from making her sleep too long, she had secretly reduced the dosage again, but she still couldn't wake up.
She had never liked being late.
Seizing the time, she called the project team back. The other party was an elderly man who, judging by his profile, should be a humorous professor.
"I'm so sorry, Professor, I'll be right there." Huo Rou explained the situation clearly to him, apologized, and hurried downstairs.
Qin Ningyi had called her for a long time that morning and couldn't wake her. At this moment, he was downstairs listening to the doctor's report.
"Awake?" His initially gloomy expression softened when he heard the sound from the stairs.
Dr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He had only brought the simplest equipment and couldn't figure out why Miss Huo was sleeping soundly and not waking up.
President Qin's dark face was truly unbearable.
"Come and eat." Qin Ningyi walked over quickly.
"No, I'm late." Huo Rou rushed out in a hurry.
Qin Ningyi had no choice but to pick up his breakfast and follow behind her. "I'll take you."
The project team was in a university.
After verifying her identity at the entrance, Huo Rou was welcomed in.
Everyone was busy, engrossed in calculations and debugging.
"Teacher Huo is here!" The person who brought her in shouted to everyone.
All eyes immediately fell on Huo Rou.
The old man standing by the console, watching the experimental personnel, wiped his hands and walked over to greet her.
When he spoke to Huo Rou on the phone, he had already noticed that she was very young, and meeting her in person surprised him even more.
One should not judge a book by its cover. He had no intention of belittling or looking down on her.
However, the others in the laboratory felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Her?"
"Don't underestimate her, this is the great expert from Yu Da Artificial Intelligence who is assisting us!" someone advised.
"Hmph, what's so great about her? What's there to be so proud of? Our project team is not for just anyone. She's late on her first day, does she really think she's that important?"
What they were doing had no precedent, and if one problem couldn't be solved, it would be difficult to proceed with anything else.
Everyone was waiting for a technical expert to rescue them, only to be met by such a delicate and fragile young woman?
It was understandable that they had complaints.
After operating the machine in her hands, Zou Xiaoxiao looked up amidst the murmurs.
At that glance, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Had she been up too late and hallucinating? How could it be Huo Rou?
After returning from Taichuan City, she had tidied up her belongings and was invited to join this project team. When she encountered a programming problem, the professor said that Yu Da Artificial Intelligence would send someone to assist them in solving it.
Later, she learned that the technical consultant from Yu Da Artificial Intelligence was returning, and she had been exceptionally excited. She thought it would be a learning exchange with a master, but now it turned out to be an encounter with an acquaintance?
"She's a girl, don't talk about her like that." Although she couldn't believe that Huo Rou was that technical consultant, out of respect for the person Qin Ningyi liked, she still spoke up to stop the surrounding people's belittling and assumptions.
After joining the project team, Zou Xiaoxiao had already gained everyone's recognition with her professional abilities. Now, everyone was willing to give her face and stop talking.
Professor Zou looked back at Zou Xiaoxiao and nodded approvingly in her eyes. Regardless of the reason, her willingness to speak up for someone placed her character a notch above others.
"Teacher Huo, President Xiao should have told you about the problems we encountered. Do you have any solutions?" The professor was very respectful of Huo Rou. Despite the age difference, he was willing to call her "Teacher Huo."
Huo Rou smiled shyly. "You can just call me Xiao Huo."
The professor laughed heartily and called her, "Little Teacher Huo."
"Where is the computer? I have a method to try." Huo Rou did not engage in further pleasantries. She was late and needed to get to work quickly.
As she followed the professor towards their main console, the person sitting in front of the console suddenly jumped up. "Professor, I've contacted my teacher!!"
He turned around and saw the professor leading a young girl. The smile on his face faded slightly, and he scratched his head sheepishly.
The professor was also a bit conflicted. Since Huo Rou was delayed, some students had suggested contacting his teacher, who was an expert. Everyone had encouraged him to contact someone.
Now, it was a bit awkward.
Zou Xiaoxiao knew a lot about computers. This problem was very difficult, and several elites in their project team had no ideas. She was worried that Huo Rou would embarrass herself.
Seeing the professor's conflicted look, she walked straight over and suggested, "Why don't we let his teacher take a look first?"
Huo Rou received the worry in Zou Xiaoxiao's eyes. She raised her eyebrows, and the feeling was quite subtle.
