Chapter 1481: Chapter 354: Feifei: Uncle Lin Spoils Me Just a Little More Than You

"Are you okay?"

Lin Fan noticed that something seemed off. In his mind, Professor Ji had always been a particularly decisive and spirited woman. But now, the look in her eyes made him feel that the Professor Ji in front of him was not the one he knew.

"I’m fine, I’m really good, nothing to worry about."

Faced with Lin Fan’s inquiry, Professor Ji answered three times in quick succession. Her tone was so fast that it didn’t feel natural, as if she was under some sort of stimulation.

Lin Fan saw the experimental materials and recognized them instantly, kindly reminding her, "Professor Ji, Professor Xia said that this stuff is not very scientific, so he stopped researching it. Maybe you should also drop it, don’t take it too seriously?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s just a bit complex; anything can be explained scientifically. I think I’m about to figure it out," said Professor Ji, but her tone was not very confident.

"Well... okay then."

He knew that Professor Ji would surely help Professor Xia with his research after coming back. But looking at the current situation, it seemed not very optimistic. It was highly likely that Professor Ji was deeply entangled in it as well.

"I’m fine, go about your own business; I’ll continue researching."

After saying this, Ji Qiuyue focused intently on the experimental specimen, her mind filled with the words of Grandpa Xia: don’t touch unscientific things as they’ll affect one’s perception.

She didn’t take those words to heart, even felt extremely interested in the specimen until she personally handled it and realized Grandpa Xia was right, her perception was under terrifying assault.

To this day, she hasn’t figured out the components of this piece of flesh.

Many lab mice died, but no progress was made, causing Ji Qiuyue to start doubting the validity of science. Or maybe this world had quietly changed, overturning all perceptions, as if a world of ancient myths had begun.

After all, what role does science play in a mythological world?

What science is there to speak of? None; everything is false and illusory.

No one could endure such a blow.

Lin Fan left the laboratory, walked to the door, looked back at the tireless Professor Ji, and sighed. Oh well, regardless, Professor Ji is a researcher. Professionals do professional work. No matter the outcome of the research, she represents humanity’s highest wisdom. The development of future civilization always relies on people like her.

As he was approaching Sunshine District, he looked up to see that the place where Professor Xia resided was still lit, and Professor Xia was dazedly standing on the balcony.

At his age, Professor Xia went to bed early and woke early. While others woke up at five or six, elderly people often woke at three or four and couldn’t fall back asleep.

Though unsure why this happened, it might relate to the physical constitution of elderly people.

"You’re back," Professor Xia spoke softly to Lin Fan.

After all, it was nighttime; talking too loudly might wake someone who’s sleeping.

"Yeah, I’m back. I just passed by the lab; Professor Ji’s still burning the midnight oil researching."

"Ah, let her research."

Professor Xia felt helpless. Now that problems have arisen, based on Qiuyue’s personality, she wouldn’t easily give up. Somehow, he foresaw the future, knowing there is no other way: having embarked on this path, one can only forge ahead, even if there’s a wall in the way, either the wall breaks or the head cracks; there’s no third option.

"Oh, then I’ll head home to sleep."

"Rest early."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, for such is life; everyone strives hard for the unknown tomorrow.

Morning.

Laughter and joy.

Feifei, Tingting, Wenwen, and Tutu rushed towards the classroom with their backpacks.

"Uncle Lin is so nice; now we can go to school together again, and we don’t have to be there until seven thirty. I can even sleep for another half hour," Tingting said happily. Her innocent smile made the post-apocalypse seem beautiful, not at all grim.

"Why does Uncle Lin want us to be at school by seven thirty?" Tutu asked curiously.

"No idea," Wenwen shook her head.

Feifei felt secretly proud and happy. Listening to her friends’ confusion, she couldn’t help but stand straighter and, using a slightly smug tone, said, "Do you want to know the reason? Actually, I know."

"Want to, really want to, Feifei, if you know, tell us,"

"Yeah, yeah, me too."

Faced with the enthusiasm from her friends, Feifei was very satisfied, just afraid of encountering an unfriendly friend who would say ’I don’t want to know.’

Of course, that scenario would never happen to her.

Because she had the confidence of being the queen bee.

Feifei boasted, "Yesterday I told Uncle Lin I wanted to go to school with my friends. Uncle Lin agreed without hesitation. I thought it would be seven o’clock, but I didn’t expect Uncle Lin to change it to seven thirty."

"Wow! Feifei, you’re amazing. I think Uncle Lin must like you the most," Tingting exclaimed, a master at professionally supporting the queen bee, deeply trusted by Feifei.

"Uncle Lin does quite like us, but he definitely likes me a bit more than you guys," Feifei said, pinching her thumb and forefinger together — the most hated gesture among Universe Country men, as it is evidence and an insult to them.

During peacetime, if Feifei made this gesture in an internet short video, she would definitely be cyber-bullied by Universe Country men.

Tutu said, "Yeah, I noticed too; Uncle Lin’s favorite is definitely Feifei."
