Hearing Lin Yi’s call, Ji Qingyan frowned slightly.

He was originally in high spirits and wanted to show Lin Yi when he returned.

Great, they hadn’t even reached home yet, but he was leaving again.

“Who called?”

“Director Shen said that there’s a problem at the laboratory and asked me to go over.”

“There are so many people in the laboratory. Can’t he handle it? Why does he still have to call you?” Complained Ji Qingyan.

She didn’t want to stop Lin Yi. Men still had to focus on their work.

However, he had just returned. She could count on one hand the number of nights he had stayed at home. It would still be fine if he could at least stay home tonight.

Director Shen’s sense of timing was impeccable.

“It can’t be helped.” Lin Yi said.

“The photolithography machine and the chip are priorities. Besides, other than Director Shen, I’m the best at the laboratory. It’s only natural that I will need to go over and take a look if there’s a problem.”

“Alright.” Ji Qingyan replied listlessly.

“It’s just a meal. We can eat it anytime. It’s fine.”

With that, Lin Yi kissed Ji Qingyan on the cheek.

However, Ji Qingyan did not react.

Lin Yi was also a little puzzled. It was just a trip, so why was she showing such a big reaction?

He could not be blamed for this.

Even though they were separated for long, it was not his choice. He naturally would have wanted to stay close to her.

Lin Yi had been too tired yesterday. Ji Qingyan thought that she would have a chance today, but Director Shen ruined it.

How infuriating.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything. The wound had already opened. If he didn’t hurry up, blood would ooze out. This would expose him.

Unconsciously, Lin Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove the car back to Jiuzhou Pavilion a few minutes sooner than expected. Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he helped her carry the groceries inside before preparing to leave.

“When will you be back?”

Standing at the door, she asked.

“I don’t think it will take long. I’ll be back in a while. You can eat by yourself. Don’t wait for me.”

“Oh, okay. Drive slowly on the road.”

“Sure thing.”

Lin Yi gave her a kiss on the cheek before driving off.

After leaving the Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi drove to the hospital.

Li Chuhan had gone home from work, and Qiao Xin was on duty.

“What’s going on? It was fine during the day. Why did it suddenly rupture at night?”

Seeing the blood on the gauze, Qiao Xin was too embarra.s.sed to joke with Lin Yi anymore. Her tone was also a little resentful.

With Brother Lin’s level, there was no need to remind him about these things.

“There was a small accident, but it’s not a big problem. Don’t be so shocked.”

“I’ll call Director Li now.”

“Why do that? I’m not doing surgery,” Lin Yi said.

“Just help me deal with it. Otherwise, she’ll definitely come over.”

Li Chuhan may not be good with words, but she understood many things very well.

Other women may have thoughts about relatives, friends, and family in their hearts.

However, in Li Chuhan’s heart, there was only Lin Yi.

Therefore, among all these people, Li Chuhan held a very special place in Lin Yi’s heart, and no one else could compare to her.

“All right, then.”

Although she was still a junior doctor, Lin Yi’s injuries were not serious. Thus, she could handle it herself.

It took Qiao Xin more than half an hour to settle everything.

“Brother Lin, you have to be careful. Don’t make any big movements in the future. Remember not to carry heavy objects. If you do it repeatedly, your wound will easily get infected.”

Qiao Xin reminded him as she wrapped Lin Yi in gauze.

“I know, it’s fine,” Lin Yi said, “Oh right, bring me some anti-inflammatory medicine and gauze later. 1 want to bring some home.”

“I’ll get Qianqian to get it for you.”

With that, Qiao Xin called a nurse over and gave the order. Then, she continued to bandage Lin Yi’s wound.

After everything was done, he even helped Lin Yi bring the medicine to the car and didn’t let him work.

Lin Yi went to the research inst.i.tute after leaving the hospital.

It was already past eight in the evening, and the lights in the research inst.i.tute were still on.

After washing his face, Lin Yi went up to the third floor and found Lu Ying holding a burger in her hand. She was eating while looking at the code on the computer with a focused expression.

It wasn’t until someone greeted Lin Yi that Lu Ying noticed him.

“Boss.”

Lu Ying stood up and said.

“It’s late and you’re still so busy.”

“There’s a bug in the program. I’m working on it.”

“You’re not young anymore. Don’t spend all your energy on work and think about finding a partner.”

“I’m looking for one too,” Lu Ying said.

“I have a blind date this weekend. Give me two days off then.”

“Two days is not enough. I’ll give you a week. Go out and have fun and relax.”

“No way, why the kind offer?”

“Well, I’m a good boss.”

“Aren’t you afraid that if my blind date succeeds, I won’t let you sleep with me in the future?”

“Isn’t it more exciting to sleep with a married woman?”

“President Lin, I’m married!” A Meiguon researcher said.

“I just had a baby. Do I still have a chance?” Said a Ruidish researcher.

“Uh… Don’t worry, everyone. There’s a chance.”

The atmosphere in the laboratory became relaxed because of Lin Yi.

“Why are you here? Where’s Director Shen?” Lin Yi looked around.

“Director Shen went to Yanjing to talk to some old friends about the new photolithography machine.”

“He didn’t bring you.”

“I have a lot of things to deal with here, so I took the initiative to stay. But I’m almost done. I’m going to go down and look for him tomorrow.”

“So that’s what happened.”

“Are you here to look for Director Shen? Do you need me to call him?”

“No need. I’ll stay here for the night. Director Shen has a bed in his office, right?”

Lu Ying looked at Lin Yi unhappily. “Did you do something wrong, only to be discovered by the lady boss, so she didn’t let you in?”

“It’s a long story.”

Lin Yi originally wanted to go back after treating his wound.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it was better not to go back. It would not be good if another accident like today happened.

Moreover, he had sufficient reasons. It was normal for scientific researchers to be busy all night.

In the end, he decided not to go back. If Ji Qingyan were to check up on him, he would not be able to go anywhere else. It was the perfect plan.

“Alright then.” Lu Ying did not ask further. “Director Shen has a bed in his room, but it’s not very comfortable.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as there’s a place to stay.”

The others were hard at work, and Lin Yi was too embarra.s.sed to go to bed. Thus, he worked until ten o’clock before going back to rest.

Jiuzhou Pavilion.

After Lin Yi left, Ji Qingyan was no longer in the mood to cook for herself. She ordered takeout and had a casual dinner.

Ring ring ring!

Ji Qingyan’s phone rang at this moment. It was a call from He Yuanyuan.

“Huh? Why are you eating takeout?” He Yuanyuan asked in surprise.

“Director Shen called Lin Yi to work overtime. 1 didn’t want to cook anymore.”

“Work overtime?” He Yuanyuan asked.

“Director Shen is in Yanjing on a business trip.. Why would he ask him to work overtime?”
