Everything was handled by Feng Huaijin, and Su Li and the others also signed confidentiality agreements.
Feng Yi sat nearby, playing with strands of her hair, her two beautiful, slender legs swinging gently, looking very leisurely.
The old gentleman was indeed interested in Feng Yi, and asked, "Yiyi, aren’t you afraid?"
Feng Yi casually replied, "I often come to the research institute in Jiangzhou Prefecture; it’s like my second home. What’s there to be afraid of?"
The scientific research institute is not just any place. The researchers inside not only have high knowledge abilities but also have very good character. She has met grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts here before, and the relationships were very good; everyone treated her like a treasure.
The old gentleman appeared startled upon hearing this, a trace of shock appearing in his eyes, and gradually began to look at Professor Tang Lide with some respect.
Tang Lide has been studying the cosmos and space-time for over a decade. Countless people thought it was just a fanciful idea, believing Tang Lide would never make a breakthrough in this research project even until he died. Who knew it might actually be true.
The old gentleman patted Tang Lide’s shoulder, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I bet next year’s Outstanding Research Award will be yours, Old Tang. Well, well, I need to write some documents to report above, so I’ll take my leave first. Old Tang, you should chat more with Mr. Feng and Miss Su."
Su Li knew the old gentleman was afraid they were worried about Feng Yi’s well-being at the research institute, so he had Professor Tang Lide chat more with them.
But seeing Feng Yi’s calm demeanor akin to being at her own home, Su Li felt considerably relieved.
After chatting for a while, Su Li started feeling a bit hungry. Ever since getting pregnant, she gets hungrier faster than usual.
Tang Lide laughed and said, "In that case, let’s go grab a meal at the cafeteria and check out the environment where Yiyi will be staying."
Feng Huaijin nodded.
The cafeteria at the research institute operates on a swipe-card basis, allowing meals for free. It was lunchtime, and there were some elegant scholars chatting, discussing topics that made one’s head spin.
When they saw them, though surprised, they merely greeted them with gentle smiles.
Feng Yi skillfully swiped her card and ordered some food, and shortly, the table was filled with a sumptuous and healthy meal.
It was the first time Su Li dined in such a place, finding it quite amusing.
At that moment, Su Li and the others suddenly saw Feng Yi stand up.
She was wearing white sneakers, walking lightly, quickly making her way to the far corner of the cafeteria, and casually tugged on the hem of someone’s white coat, nearly making the person drop their spoon.
"Uncle Ning is indeed here!" Feng Yi wore an expression of "I’ve caught you."
Ning Yan frowned as he looked at the girl, "Why is it you again?"
Feng Yi took his tray with one hand, grabbed his wrist with the other, and pulled him straight up: "Come, join us for a meal."
Ning Yan shook off her hand with some annoyance, his voice turning colder: "What are you doing?!"
Feng Yi said, "Don’t you always dine with me? Eating alone is boring, so come on."
The grandpas and grandmas in the cafeteria overheard the commotion and curiously looked over.
Ning Yan’s expression turned icy, his voice devoid of any kindness: "I don’t know you, and don’t pretend like we’re familiar."
Within the whole research institute, many researchers dine together, but he prefers to eat alone.
He’s always been alone.
He’s gotten used to being alone.
