Yin Shiyu nodded: “That doesn’t matter, these things aren’t urgent.”
He completely missed Jiang Chuanzhi’s meaningful look.
After the three of them explained the general plan of the experiment, each of them had their own task.
It was a collaboration, so everyone had a part to complete, and they didn’t say much.
Although Yin Shiyu and Chen Yanjing hadn’t told anyone about their research experience, they both understood the difficulty of conducting experiments.
So this time they would go all out and definitely wouldn’t let Jiang Chuanzhi handle everything alone.
However, they now had a small group chat and had confirmed their direction, so they could actually study many things separately.
Even so, they still planned to stay in the experimental area today.
Firstly, they had no prior experience with such collaboration, and secondly, if they continued to do experiments together without getting to know each other, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
“Jiangchuan Zhi, I never realized you were so enthusiastic.”
Yin Shiyu felt a little embarrassed after saying this. He’d only made up a story, and Jiangchuan Zhi had taken it so seriously.
However, Yin Shiyu felt it was quite a coincidence, considering they’d been at Yanming for several years, and Yin Shiyu had been there even longer.
Yin Shiyu knew their actual ages were probably similar, though Jiangchuan Zhi had arrived at Yanming much earlier.
Although he hadn’t deliberately looked into it, he’d often heard about it.
For example, how much effort the institute had put in to get Jiangchuan Zhi to join.
The fact was, whatever effort it took to get him here was meaningful.
“Not very enthusiastic,” Jiangchuan Zhi said. “You invited me,
so I won’t refuse. ”
Yin Shiyu looked at Chen Yanjing, who nodded.
Then, Yin Shiyu looked at Jiangchuan Zhi and said, “Thank you.”
The three of them looked at the experimental data and carefully checked off the tasks they could currently perform.
Soon, the three of them stopped talking.
Once they got into the zone, they didn’t intentionally interrupt each other.
Yin Shiyu was already very interested in experiments, and since he didn’t know what his research direction should be, he was really happy to have a ready-made one.
Besides, he had never done this kind of collaboration before.
He had always done experiments either alone or with Chen Yanjing.
They had even always thought they would continue doing this together, but now that they had changed their habits, Yin Shiyu felt it didn’t seem like a problem.
Yin Shiyu finished setting up his things and saw that Chen Yanjing had also put down his electronic devices.
So they both looked at Jiang Chuanzhi, who nodded.
“Okay, everything’s been assigned!” Yin Shiyu asked, “Shall we go?”
Jiang Chuanzhi nodded: “Okay.”
Yin Shiyu had already taken a few steps outside when he realized that the other two hadn’t followed.
“The school heartthrob is staying here to do experiments, what are you doing here?” Yin Shiyu looked at Chen Yanjing and asked with dissatisfaction.
Chen Yanjing coughed, then followed Yin Shiyu out.
Once outside, Yin Shiyu asked Chen Yanjing, “What’s wrong? I feel like something’s off about you.”
Chen Yanjing replied, “I can’t quite put my finger on it. If you don’t think it’s anything, then it’s probably fine.”
Yin Shiyu still found his attitude strange, but if he didn’t want to continue, then it didn’t matter.
Actually, Yin Shiyu was fully aware that this matter was related to him, but since Chen Yanjing felt he had already explained things clearly, he wouldn’t press further.
He knew that even if they were best friends, some things didn’t need to be said outright.
The matter of doing research with Jiang Chuanzhi had been confirmed.
Actually, there was nothing special about it; it was just like anything else—they had simply set a research goal they wanted to achieve, nothing more.
“I’m actually quite interested in this experiment,” Yin Shiyu said. “It feels like we’ve been focusing on pheromones and other products derived from the secondary sex, so it’s worth exploring other things.”
Chen Yanjing nodded; on this point, they were of the same mind.
For both of them, there was no need to elaborate.
For example, although Li Heng had many opinions about Yin Shiyu, there were some things he couldn’t deny.
His family wasn’t well-off, and he was able to get into this academy entirely because of his own academic achievements.
He could guarantee that he had consistently maintained a leading position in his past studies, and he never felt that studying was a burden.
It was just that after entering this academy, he developed some thoughts because of the different people there.
These were things he wouldn’t have been able to experience if he hadn’t actually been in this environment.
“I think Jiang Chuanzhi must have some other outstanding qualities besides his grades.”
Chen Yanjing nodded: “Okay, I see.”
Yin Shiyu could also sense that Chen Yanjing’s attitude towards this matter was somewhat different from before. He could feel the subtle difference, but he couldn’t confirm it at this moment.
So he didn’t plan to say anything else; he felt that the important thing now was just to do the experiment.
This was something they had discussed together, so if they could achieve good results, everyone would be happy.
“It feels pretty good. The data this time is quite intuitive, and it doesn’t seem that difficult to get started,” Chen Yanjing said. “The previous obstacles should have been overcome by someone else.”
Yin Shiyu laughed, “You’re really something.”
Chen Yanjing shrugged, “That’s true.” “Xiaoyu, I think you’re absolutely right,” Chen Yanjing said, “I’ve been putting strange pressure on myself the whole time.”
Yin Shiyu said, “Isn’t that normal? Actually, I feel quite pressured too.”
These weren’t jokes; for both of them, these were genuine feelings.
After they left, they took an airship to a VIP floating island.
The entire island was filled with restaurants.
If described in modern literature, this would be called a paradise?
Yin Shiyu had no idea what his son was thinking. He shook his head and said, “Why didn’t we invite Jiang Chuanzhi?”
“I thought you didn’t want him to come with us and insisted he stay in the lab.”
Yin Shiyu’s expression changed drastically. “I really didn’t think that. He won’t misunderstand me like that, will he?”
Chen Yanjing told him, “I don’t know.”
There was no gloating in his tone, just a very calm one.
Yin Shiyu scratched his head. “Never mind, I’ll explain to him next time we meet. He shouldn’t hold it against me.”
“It’s hard to say.”
Yin Shiyu glared at him but didn’t say anything else.
He still felt that Jiang Chuanzhi’s personality was probably okay, and he wouldn’t misunderstand. Even if he did
, he wasn’t incapable of explaining himself. Yin Shiyu was certain that he wasn’t the type to remain silent and just let his imagination run wild.
Moreover, he felt that this time it was indeed his own fault.
Jiang Chuanzhi hadn’t done anything wrong.
It was just that his words seemed a bit off. He and Chen Yanjing had been friends for many years, but with Jiang Chuanzhi, they had only just met.
In this state, misunderstandings are easily generated.
Yin Shiyu didn’t want any conflict with him, and of course, she didn’t want him to behave strangely.
That wouldn’t be good for either of them.
“Brother Jing, I actually feel very strange,” Yin Shiyu said. “I rarely feel like this, not knowing what’s wrong with me.”
“I thought you would mind me like this,” Yin Shiyu said. “I do find it strange.”
Chen Yanjing told him, “There’s no need for that.”
“Okay,” Yin Shiyu said, “Maybe I’m just too idle. I’ll find something to do.”
“You already have a lot to do,” Chen Yanjing told him. “You’ve played too much Rubik’s Cube.”
Yin Shiyu laughed: “Okay.”
Chen Yanjing was obviously joking; he didn’t mean anything by it. Yin Shiyu and he quickly decided what to eat.
All the shops on this floating island could be used with one card, and both Yin Shiyu and Chen Yanjing had a lot of credit in their accounts.
With the bonus amount, they could live comfortably for decades to come.
Chen Yanjing looked at Yin Shiyu and then said to her, “Actually, Xiaoyu, I think you’re quite…”
“What?” Yin Shiyu was a little at a loss for words.
“Cute.”
Yin Shiyu asked him, “Listen to yourself, doesn’t this sound like a compliment to an Alpha?”
“Is that so feudal?”
“What?” Yin Shiyu didn’t understand what he was talking about.
“On that ancient blue planet, didn’t they like to use gender as a topic?”
Yin Shiyu fell silent; he definitely didn’t mean anything by it.
“I didn’t mean that.”
“So you panicked when facing Jiang Chuanzhi?”
