"Did you have fun?" In the research institute, Professor Yu brought Ning Youguang into his office.
"Mm." Ning Youguang chuckled lightly.
"As long as you’re happy." Professor Yu smiled with squinted eyes.
Ning Youguang said, "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance and support."
"I just casually ntioned a few things, it’s nothing." Professor Yu stood up, "All the changes in ideas and decisions are up to you."
She walked to her desk and took out a stack of docunts from a drawer, "Didn’t I tell you before you left that we were going to work on a new research project? During the ti you were on vacation, the team and I have refined so materials. Take a look."
Ning Youguang accepted it with both hands, "Research on the relationship between consciousness and psychological processes?"
"Correct. Currently, many studies are exploring at the edges, unable to get close to the essence and truth. So, much of the previous research by psychological research teams was like a hidden map, with the illuminated parts on the fringes, without systematic understanding of consciousness." Professor Yu continued.
"This is indeed the part we need to break through at the mont." Ning Youguang carefully reviewed the materials Professor Yu handed over.
"Take these materials ho and study them well. Tomorrow morning, we’ll have a eting to discuss in depth." Professor Yu said.
"Okay, teacher."
...
At seven in the evening, Ning Youguang was in the dormitory reviewing materials and working.
Hearing the doorbell, she got up to open the door and was stunned to see Shi Wangyue at the door, "What are you doing here?"
"Old Nie drove here." Shi Wangyue looked at her and smiled, the expression in his eyes soft as water.
"You know that’s not what I ant." Ning Youguang stepped aside, allowing him to enter.
Shi Wangyue stepped inside and casually closed the door.
He hugged her, "I just wanted to co."
Ning Youguang wrapped her arms around his waist, stepping out of his embrace, "You brought so much stuff again?"
She raised an eyebrow, looking at the bags in his hands.
"I don’t want to go back." Shi Wangyue pursed his lips, giving her a longing look, "Sister won’t refuse to take in, will she?"
Ning Youguang was speechless, "Isn’t it inconvenient for you to stay here and go to work?"
"As long as sister doesn’t mind being here." Shi Wangyue seed to sigh in relief, showing a radiant smile.
"..."
Ning Youguang felt like this person in front of her was refreshing her understanding every second in these short days.
Shi Wangyue changed into slippers, carrying the bags into the room.
"What’s sister doing?"
"Analyzing data."
"Have you had dinner?"
"No."
Shi Wangyue frowned slightly, "Why haven’t you had dinner this late?"
It was already close to eight o’clock.
"Have you eaten?" Ning Youguang asked in return.
Shi Wangyue closed his mouth.
"You haven’t either, have you?" Ning Youguang said, "I knew you were probably very busy today. Did you rush to co over now?"
"I indeed had accumulated so work earlier." Shi Wangyue was a bit embarrassed, "I also brought so work over."
Ning Youguang took a smaller bag from his hands, "I said it must have been hard for you to co over."
Shi Wangyue put the bags down on the ground, "Sister, do you know?"
He held her shoulders, the look in his eyes deep, "If I didn’t co, it would really be hard."
"—I’ve missed you so much it hurts."
"..."
Shi Wangyue continued, "Last night I had insomnia until past three before I fell asleep. I really wanted to co find you then, but was afraid of bothering you."
He embraced her again, "I was miserable."
Ning Youguang sighed deeply in her heart, "But seeing you run back and forth like this every day, I feel very distressed."
Shi Wangyue kissed her shoulder, "If I have insomnia every day, wouldn’t you be more distressed?"
The two of them remained silently in the embrace for quite a while.
Then, they started organizing the things Shi Wangyue brought.
Ning Youguang watched as he took out sleepwear, underwear, casual clothes, socks, etc., from the bags, feeling a bit numb.
"—Does this count as living together?"
Her voice was a bit trembling.
Clearly in a state of disbelief.
Shi Wangyue, however, said seriously, "Barely counts, I guess."
"What do you an by barely counts?"
Shi Wangyue continued, "Then let’s just count it."
"Your tone really sounds so reluctant."
Clearly, I’m the one being forced, aren’t I?!
"For now, sister, please tolerate squeezing in with you." Shi Wangyue continued organizing another bag, "Our place isn’t renovated yet." He frowned, "Otherwise, we could really start officially living together."
Ning Youguang didn’t know what to say.
She looked around, only then realizing that without knowing it, the person in front of her had placed countless of his belongings in her room.
Including, but not limited to, the toiletries, sleepwear, towels, bathrobes, slippers, cups he had previously placed here.
At the sa ti, she also realized—
Since returning to the country, he had been inching closer and closer.
"You little trickster." She gritted her teeth.
"What?" Shi Wangyue’s voice was soft, and he didn’t hear clearly.
"I said you’re taking advantage of being soft-hearted and going overboard." Ning Youguang frowned.
"Thump." Shi Wangyue’s heart made a sudden sound.
He stopped what he was doing, slightly at a loss, "Does sister really dislike coming over?"
His voice was deep, sounding extrely sad, "Then I’ll call Old Nie to have him co pick up. He shouldn’t have gone too far."
"..."
Ning Youguang felt deeply frustrated.
She gritted her teeth, turned to the sofa to grab a pillow, and gave this troubleso kid a ruthless beating, "For your scheming, for your scheming, for your scheming..."
She repeated these words back and forth as she hit him.
"It’s fine to hit your husband; just don’t upset yourself." Shi Wangyue pulled Ning Youguang into his arms, holding her tight, gently patting her head, "There, there, baby—" His voice was tender and lingering, "You haven’t eaten yet, don’t use up all your energy."
Ning Youguang continued to hit him with loveless fists—of course, without much force.
"I’ll cook you dinner first, you can hit so more after you eat, okay?" Shi Wangyue kissed her gently and repeatedly.
Ning Youguang was rendered speechless and amused, "It’s so late already, why cook, let’s order takeout."
"Okay, we’ll order takeout." Shi Wangyue said with a smile again, "Sister still cares for , right?"
Ning Youguang looked up at him from his embrace with the clearest eyes, "Yes, I care."
She said, "I don’t want you to have too much burden because of , nor do I want to add to your tasks and pressure because of . I want you to be happy, relaxed, comfortable, and free." 1314
