Chapter 554: Chapter 168: The Laboratory Hidden by the Canal

The two Majors haven’t dealt with the old foxes outside. In the same troop led by a general, disputes don’t escalate into mortal enemies; at most, they just don’t see eye to eye, and the underhanded tricks are relatively mild.

They felt the young man was quite pitiful.

Su Xiaocai chuckled softly, "I’ll call a friend, then you’ll know why I’m bullying him."

Isn’t it just about a guy trying to chase a girl?

She put the call on speaker and contacted Ji Li.

"Hello."

"Brother Ji, have you eaten?"

Ji Li had just gotten into bed and closed his eyes. When Su Xiaocai called, he didn’t dare not to answer: "What’s up?"

Su Xiaocai: "I have something to ask you."

Her speech was neither hurried nor slow, her tone light and joyful.

Ji Li understood; this little thing was definitely up to something again, "Caicai, there’s a time difference between your place and mine, you better really have something for me."

Su Xiaocai: "Time difference? I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it."

Bullshit. Su Xiaocai rarely needs to redo her plans; before contacting him, she must have thought about the time difference.

"I want to ask you something. Aren’t you curious about my romantic history?"

"Kissing with Huahua or sticking with Xiao Wanzi?" It practically screamed that she had no romantic history.

Su Xiaocai: "I just left for a few days, not years. Is it really that hard to withstand a long-distance separation? You’ve already started to grow impatient with me."

"Huh?"

Ji Li threw off the blanket and got out of bed. His lab’s top floor room had many furnishings: a wardrobe, a sofa, a computer desk, a 3D projector, and a world-famous painting (a watercolor turtle painted by Su Xiaocai herself).

The famous painting looked pretty good, but Ji Li preferred the one in the infirmary.

His room was full of the best things, selected by Ji Li himself, with Su Xiaocai footing the bill. Couldn’t let someone live in an empty room, treating them like a workhorse.

Ji Li poured a glass of water and said very calmly, "Go ahead, what’s up."

"What do you think of a stranger suddenly coming over and offering help, and appearing very diligent?"

"Self-destructive." Ji Li set down the water glass and knocked on the table, "You’re not talking about me, are you?"

"How could I? I’m so familiar with you, Brother Ji, every time I’m the one begging you to do things."

That’s more like it. Ji Li continued drinking the remaining water, placed the cup upside down on the tea stand, and returned to the serious topic, "This person you’re talking about, are they male or female?"

"It’s a guy. He looks pretty good, quite handsome, that refreshing kind of handsome."

It really was a matter of feelings.

Su Xiaocai found it hard to describe the temperament of this person, having never encountered that type, "I find him a bit strange, can’t really explain it, so I wanted your opinion."

"Do you have any photos or videos?"

"Sure do."

After a while, Su Xiaocai asked, "So, what do you think?"

Ji Li enjoyed observing people; when walking down the street, his eyes were like rulers, gauging a person’s character based on their speech, actions, and attire.

He had seen various types, and even he found the person in the video hard to describe, "This person likely comes from a good family, perhaps even wealthy. Their clothes are tailored, made from breathable and comfortable fabric. Well-mannered, naturally holds his shoulders straight without any rough moves. He’s probably a bit compulsive, likes symmetry; his belt is symmetrically elastic, wearing identical rings on both hands, even his communicator is a symmetrical model."

"And then, don’t you think he carries a certain nobility? Maybe a regal aura? Like a young prince of someone in power?" Everything about him gave Su Xiaocai a sense of unfamiliarity. That kind of unfamiliarity from never having encountered this type before.

Ji Li raised an eyebrow, "It’s just a video; can’t gather that much. I only reached one conclusion."

The two Majors perked up their ears.

"What conclusion?"

"He’s interested in you, which is why he’s a freak."

Major: "???" So blunt, aren’t you afraid of getting hit?

Why say that, Su Xiaocai is quite cute, makes people want to protect.

"Are you implying I’m short?"

Ji Li laughed softly, "Not really short, you’re just too petite. He’s not Luo Lianliang, doesn’t owe him. A wealthy, compulsive man wouldn’t easily take interest in others and help for free unless you’re his type."

"Or maybe he already knows who you are."

Su Xiaocai shrugged to the two Majors, "See, there’s a lot of information there. My identity isn’t a secret. Since Yang Zhao isn’t poor or from a backward planet, there’s no reason he wouldn’t know me. The sincere don’t need to pretend, while the underhanded have many flaws."

With that, the two Majors understood. Although Su Xiaocai was a bit pretty, she wasn’t the stunning type.

Their expressions looked as if they had just eaten shit.
