"So you... you went there to pick me up?"
Ji Ting nodded. "Yes."
Ji Yanzhi lifted his head and let out a deep sigh. "Just how much have I missed?"
He was sick with regret-regret that he had delayed his return by a day, but even more that he hadn't taken the initiative to find Ji Ting sooner.
"So when I didn't come back, you agreed to have dinner with him?"
Ji Ting shook his head. "No, I was the one who invited him."
"You invited him?" Ji Yanzhi frowned. "Why?"
"Because after he scanned my business card that day, I discovered a Monitoring Program running in the background on my phone."
Ji Yanzhi looked thoughtful. "He joined a few months ago, but you only proposed building a lithography machine last month. That means his original target, at least, wasn't the underground laboratory."
"Yes, that's what I thought too."
"Then what do you think this Ren Jinyang is after? Could it have something to do with the help you gave the Aerospace Engineering Institute?"
"I can't be entirely sure yet, but one thing is clear."
"What?"
Ji Ting said with complete seriousness, "He wants to seduce me with his looks."
"Ha." This time, Ji Yanzhi wasn't jealous at all. Instead, he gave a scornful laugh. "Him? With that face?"
Ji Ear had never even given Lu Yanchu's face a second glance. What, could some random nobody look better than that flashy magpie?
Besides, there was one other crucial point: Ji Ear only liked his type.
Ji Yanzhi was raising his eyebrows in delight when Ji Ting asked in confusion, "Ji Yanzhi, what are you so happy about?"
"Am I happy?" Ji Yanzhi wiped the expression off his face and immediately denied it. "You're imagining things."
"Oh." Ji Ting nodded slightly
