TWWMABMTBH Chapter 88

Ji Shu’s resentment from not getting a goodnight kiss the previous evening lingered into the next morning. However, Rong Ziyan slept soundly through the night.

At 6:30 AM, Rong Ziyan woke up on the dot. Ji Shu, who had somehow pulled him into his arms again, was still in a deep sleep.

But upon closer look, Rong Ziyan noticed that although Ji Shu’s breathing was still smooth, his eyelashes were clearly trembling. Was he pretending to be asleep?

“Get up, I have to leave early today. I have an experiment this morning,” Rong Ziyan patted Ji Shu’s back.

Ji Shu ignored him, instead reaching out to wrap his arms tightly around Rong Ziyan’s waist, clinging to him.

Rong Ziyan blinked, “Are you doing this on purpose?”

Ji Shu “humphed” softly, pressing his ear against Rong Ziyan’s body, indicating that he couldn’t hear.

The self-deceiving little gesture was quite cute.

Rong Ziyan used force to pry him off, “If you’re awake, get dressed quickly, or you’ll catch a cold.”

“You haven’t taken your morning medicine yet. Old Wu will bring breakfast later, if you’re not up, he’ll nag you again.”

Old Wu, Old Wu, Old Wu. It was Old Wu last night, and it’s Old Wu again this morning. Ji Shu’s mind exploded with Old Wu.

He “sprang” up from the bed, glaring somewhat discontentedly at Rong Ziyan. A strand of unruly hair stuck up from the top of his head, swaying like the gosling he had cherished every day before.

Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to press down the unruly hair.

Too, too close. Ji Shu instinctively held his breath, even closing his eyes. He waited anxiously.

However, more than ten seconds passed, and nothing happened.

Ji Shu opened his eyes in confusion. Rong Ziyan had already gotten out of bed.

Ji Shu was silent for a long while, finally calling out to Rong Ziyan, “Rong Rong!”

Few people called him that, and Rong Ziyan took a moment to realize Ji Shu was calling him.

So he walked back to the bedside and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Ji Shu suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Rong Ziyan’s head, pulling him down and planting a firm kiss on his lips.

Rong Ziyan: …

Ji Shu’s beautiful eyes were full of smiles: Doctor Rong, good morning!

This time, it was Ji Shu who calmly got out of bed, while Rong Ziyan stood stiffly by the bed.

The system couldn’t help but sigh, “It wasn’t easy, that little gay who loves to cause trouble has been trained by you into a domineering president.”

Finally coming back to his senses, Rong Ziyan subconsciously retorted, “Don’t talk nonsense, he’s clearly as sweet as can be, nowhere near a domineering president.”

The entire system was stunned: “So, this straight dog just fed me a mouthful of dog food?”

Regardless of how shocked the system was, the two people who were giving out dog food were clearly in good moods.

When Old Wu brought the food, Ji Shu was standing face-to-face with Rong Ziyan, helping him tie his tie.

“Aren’t you going to the lab? Why are you dressed so formally?” Ji Shu sized him up with some dissatisfaction.

Rong Ziyan had a slender waist and long legs and was just a clothes hanger. Even the institute’s uniform looked like it was worn by a abstinent scholar, making him irresistible.

The key thing was that Ji Shu couldn’t stop others from looking, he could only be secretly angry.

Rong Ziyan completely missed his jealousy, instead giving him a matter-of-fact answer, “Today is the official establishment of the project team, there’s a project report, and we have to report to the teachers. Everyone is wearing their uniforms.”

After thinking about it, Rong Ziyan comforted Ji Shu, “Although it’s a bit inconvenient, at least the color is normal. The uniform of my veterinary medicine department in college was a disaster, do you want to see it?”

Rong Ziyan’s lips curved into a smile, and thinking about his college days, he couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Ji Shu blinked, staring at Rong Ziyan’s face, and subconsciously thought of some colorful scenarios. His ear tips turned a little red, and he quietly agreed, “I want to see it.”

He remembered that the veterinary department also had “medicine” in its name. It seemed that the lab coats were also white.

However, three seconds later, all the romantic thoughts were shattered. Ji Shu held the garish red and green T-shirt in his hand, feeling like he was going blind.

Rong Ziyan even added, “Although it looks ugly, the quality is very good. Luo Xia wanted it before.”

Ji Shu: …

Rong Ziyan thought that the two of them were partners now, so he said very generously, “Do you want it? You can take it if you like.”

Ji Shu was speechless once again.

[Depression value 10000]

Rong Ziyan heard the prompt, utterly perplexed. Why was Ji Shu depressed?

The system, Rong’s personal emotional consultant, also couldn’t answer this time. It could only comfort Rong Ziyan, “Just think of the hearts of pretty little gays as needles at the bottom of the sea!”

Rong Ziyan nodded, “System, for the first time, I think what you said isn’t complete nonsense.”

System: “Yeah, Rong, as long as you’re happy.”

As for Ji Shu, who had just been hit several times in a row by Rong Ziyan’s straight-man thinking, he was eating the medicinal diet in a proper manner, while his eyes kept darting around Old Wu’s face, as if he wanted to exile him abroad immediately.

His days were really too hard.

He had to endure Rong Ziyan’s straight-man thinking every day, and he still had to listen to Old Wu saying a million things. Thinking about this, Ji Shu suddenly felt that exiling Old Wu abroad wasn’t enough of a punishment; he should just be sent to plant trees in the desert.

Old Wu stood to the side holding the thermal container, trembling and not knowing what he did wrong to offend this living ancestor.

After breakfast, Rong Ziyan settled Ji Shu in and then went to the lab to work.

Boss Fat nodded approvingly seeing that he came alone. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to say a few “bad words” about his nephew, Rong Ziyan explained Ji Shu’s situation first.

“Teacher, you don’t have to worry. Today’s going to be a long day. I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle it if he came with me, so I left him in the dorm. I’ve made sure he takes his medicine, and he’s been sleeping well these past few nights.”

“Sleeping well?” Boss Fat was a little shocked. During Ji Shu’s hospitalization, he had learned a bit about Ji Shu’s physical condition. At that time, it was hard for him to sleep a full night even with sedatives. How did Rong Ziyan manage it?

Rong Ziyan’s answer was quite natural, “He’s very well-behaved, as long as I hug him and coax him, he’ll fall asleep soon.”

When Rong Ziyan said this, his tone was naturally laced with a smile, and his eyes were full of affection.

Boss Fat was immediately speechless and felt like he had been forcefully stuffed with ten pounds of dog food.

It was really too annoying.

The little interlude before the start quickly passed, and Rong Ziyan was soon immersed in his work.

The people who joined Rong Ziyan’s project team this time were completely different from the ones Boss Fat had chosen last time. There were even a few who were hired externally.

Rong Ziyan’s project was very flexible. To put it bluntly, if it got stuck at a certain stage and needed a lot of data, they could just go. They could be calculating in the lab in the morning, and by the afternoon they would be on a plane.

Therefore, the people who joined had all prepared themselves. They were basically all researchers who were healthy and had a regular exercise routine.

As for the previous ones, seeing Rong Ziyan’s project taking off, it was impossible for them not to regret it.

But there was no medicine for regret in the world, and they could only miss out on Rong Ziyan’s upcoming success.

As for Rong Ziyan’s side, after the first phase of the experiment was completed, he had to prepare for the second phase of sampling.

After arranging everyone and making sure they could each do their job, Rong Ziyan discussed the next sampling locations and times with Luo Xia and Boss Fat.

Boss Fat was a little hesitant, “Are you going this time? How about having the local people take the samples and send them in?”

The place Rong Ziyan was going to this time was very chaotic, and to put it bluntly, it was a place beyond any jurisdiction. There had even been incidents of tourists getting beaten up before.

Although Rong Ziyan was calm and collected, he was still his youngest apprentice. Although they all said that researchers should endure hardship, this was a little too much. Boss Fat couldn’t bear it.

On the contrary, Rong Ziyan didn’t mind at all, because he was already used to this kind of hardship. The only thing he was worried about was Ji Shu, who was still recovering.

He would have insomnia when he was apart from him, and he couldn’t bring him along. Thinking about Ji Shu’s health, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to endure it.

If it really didn’t work out, he could video call Ji Shu, right?

Rong Ziyan shook his head, thinking that he was getting into character very quickly. After only one night, he was already worried about Ji Shu’s future.

The system was speechless at this. Who would have thought that Rong Ziyan couldn’t even remember to give a good morning kiss, yet he noticed Ji Shu’s potential insomnia problem.

He even had a momentary illusion that Ji Shu had not won over a gentle partner, but rather a well-meaning old father.

However, soon, the well-meaning old father couldn’t maintain his calm exterior.

Rong Ziyan had always known that there were a lot of struggles in wealthy families. Especially those with large estates. Just look at Rong Ziyan’s own two uncles. For a small piece of the family property, they could chase young Rong Ziyan outside in the dead of winter. Not to mention families like Ji Shu’s who were rich and powerful.

Just from the fact that nobody came to visit Ji Shu during his illness except his uncle Boss Fat, he could see a thing or two. Clearly, Ji Shu didn’t have any relatives who truly cared about him.

Especially now, Rong Ziyan stood at the door, watching Ji Shu surrounded by that trashy family of three on the sofa. Ji Shu’s father was even smoking in front of Ji Shu. Rong Ziyan’s anger flared up.

Ji Shu was still sick and needed to rest properly. Rong Ziyan’s stomach ached just thinking about the bitter medicinal diet that he had to drink. And this bastard was using smoke to choke him.

He didn’t deserve to be a father!

Rong Ziyan, for once, was prejudiced. He felt that they were bullying Ji Shu, and he walked directly inside, snatching the cigarette from Ji Shu’s father’s hand and stubbing it out.

“Smoking is prohibited in the institute.”

“Who are you?” Ji Shu’s father had just been subdued by Ji Shu. Finally, someone broke the atmosphere, making him relieved, and he immediately aimed his firepower at Rong Ziyan.

However, Rong Ziyan didn’t even bother to acknowledge him. He first pulled Ji Shu out of the encirclement, then handed him a blanket, opened the window, and then asked Ji Shu, “What did they come to you for?”

Ji Shu blinked and complained without hesitation. “They want money.”

“I said I didn’t have any, so they wouldn’t leave.” His beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears, looking like he had been bullied severely, which left everyone present stunned.

Ji Shu’s unlucky younger brother couldn’t help but yell, “Ji Shu, do you even have any shame! When did we ever bully you?”

Ji Shu was startled and immediately hid behind Rong Ziyan, his hand reaching around Rong Ziyan’s waist.

Rong Ziyan frowned, convinced that Ji Shu was feeling unwell. He couldn’t help but glance at the unlucky younger brother a few more times and retorted, “Shut up! Don’t speak if you’re ugly.”

The author has something to say: Unlucky younger brother: Arguing is arguing, but why are you making personal attacks?!
