There were barely any people standing at the Tsing University entrance. Lei Xiao looked around but did not see anyone matching the description in his head. He could not help tug his hair.
Lei Xiao took out his phone and was about to dial the number when someone patted him on his shoulder. He turned around to see a stunning young woman standing before him.
“You...” Lei Xiao did not dare consider for a moment that this young lady might be Medicine Pill.
That would be hilarious, no? How could Medicine Pill be a girl?
“Lei Xiao,” said Huo Yao calmly as she looked at the man in his 30s and called his name correctly.
Lei Xiao stared at her in shock and almost dropped his phone. His voice shook when he asked her. “Are... are....are you Medicine Pill?”
It was already overwhelming for Medicine Pill to be a student. However, more astonishing was the fact that she was a girl. This world was simply incredible. Lei Xiao was certain that he must be doing something wrong for such staggering news to befall him repeatedly.
Huo Yao could not help raise her brow when she noticed Lei Xiao’s stunned expression. “Is it that surprising?”
Lei Xiao nodded instinctively.
It was not only unnerving but also terrifying!
Huo Yao raised her hand to check the time before she said, “Shall we find somewhere to eat first?”
Lei Xiao finally gathered his thoughts. “Oh, sure. My car is over there...” Before he finished his sentence, Huo Yao had already walked up to the car and stopped in front of it.
Did she already see him standing earlier?
Lei Xiao strode over and caught up with Huo Yao to open the car door for her.
They arrived at a restaurant and entered a private room twenty minutes later.
After taking their orders, the waiter left. Huo Yao looked at Lei Xiao. “Have you brought the meds along?”
Lei Xiao snapped out of his stupor. He coughed and nodded. “Yup. Everything is in my car.”
Huo Yao leaned back into the chair lazily with her hand on the table. She pondered for two seconds before getting to the main point. “Mind letting me use your lab?”
Lei Xiao looked at Huo Yao. Her stunning features aside, it was impossible to mimic this calm and confident aura radiating from her.
“Do you want to concoct a medicine?” Lei Xiao made an informed guess despite his lack of familiarity with Huo Yao. It was based on the ingredients she asked for.
“Yup,” replied Huo Yao candidly.
She had asked to meet Lei Xiao mainly so that she could use his laboratory.
“Sure thing,” agreed Lei Xiao readily.
“Thanks,” replied Huo Yao courteously.
Lei Xiao smiled. “It’s nothing, considering the number of times you have helped me in the past.”
The smile on Lei Xiao’s face froze at the memory. Couple of years ago, Medicine Pill had only been a teenager.
Sometimes, people ended up getting hurt from knowing too much.
Huo Yao paid no attention to his varying emotions. She picked up her cup and took a sip of the tea before asking him casually. “How is your research about the RO virus ing along?”
Sure enough, she was genuinely Medicine Pill. No doubt about it.
Lei Xiao shook his head and smiled sadly. “I haven’t made any progress in a year now.” He paused before he asked her tentatively. “Why don’t you take a look at my research data after you are done with your thing?”
However, Huo Yao shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know anything about lab equipment, so I probably won’t be of much help.”
A look of shock emerged on Lei Xiao’s face. “Are... are you kidding me?”
If she did not know anything about laboratory equipment, how did she e up with those research plans?
