(It was Monday, and they were competing for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and the like. Please lend your support. The chapter updated at midnight didn't count; there would be three updates today as well.)
The celebration was underway, but Xiao He did not particularly want to take part.
He seemed to be nearing his limit today, so he felt somewhat exhausted, though he was still better off than the last time he had solved the "NP=P?" problem.
Watching everyone celebrate, Xiao He sat alone off to the side, only hoping it would end soon.
"Why don't we head back early?" Ye Wanqing sat down beside him with a cup of water in hand.
"You'll spoil everyone's fun like that," Xiao He replied. "Just bear with it a little longer."
"I'll follow your lead..." Ye Wanqing turned her face away. "It's not like I got soaked to the bone."
"At least I changed into clean clothes, even if they're military clothes..." Xiao He said, looking down at the camouflage T-shirt he was wearing.
The two fell silent for a while before Ye Wanqing suddenly said, "You worked hard today. You might not have seen it, but you actually saved a lot of people. After the standing water was drained, the firefighters and armed police rescued all the trapped residents. That was why there were zero deaths."
"Oh? Look at you, learning how to compliment people," Xiao He teased. "The child has grown up."
"Yeah. It'd be nice if you could grow up someday and help your girlfriend kill cockroaches." Ye Wanqing smiled faintly.
The two glared at each other, wide-eyed.
Then Xiao He suddenly yawned. He was a little tired.
"If you're tired, go back early and get some rest." Cui Man waved at him from the crowd with a smile.
