After saying goodbye to Ran Yan, Bo Yi stepped into the white light and returned to his laboratory.
Mitian was already waiting casually in his laboratory, stretching his body with a nostalgic look on his face. After spending so many days as a pigeon, he had grown used to seeing things through a pigeon's eyes. Now that he was suddenly back in his own body, he actually felt a little unaccustomed to it.
"You're back..." he greeted Bo Yi casually. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Mitian was the owner of the room.
Bo Yi nodded, discreetly looking Mitian over. Only after confirming that nothing had gone wrong when he changed back from a pigeon did he walk over to a machine.
"Huh?" Watching Bo Yi switch on the machine with practiced ease, looking ready to do some research, Mitian couldn't help asking, "Why are you getting straight to work when you've only just come back?"
"What experiment is so urgent?" He wasn't even leaving him any time to catch up...
Although the two of them hadn't been apart for very long in the Instance... back then, one of them had been human and the other a pigeon. They'd had no trouble communicating, but talking still felt different. Now Bo Yi had headed straight for the machine upon returning, barely sparing him a glance. Mitian couldn't help feeling a little disgruntled and followed him in displeasure.
Hmph, let's see just which "little temptress (anomaly)" has lured Bo... Yi... away... Huh?
Mitian stopped in his tracks, dumbfounded. He watched blankly as Bo Yi opened the machine's lid, then watched just as blankly as Bo Yi... climbed inside himself.
The "little temptress" who had stolen Bo Yi away was actually Bo Yi himself...
Oh, never mind, then...
As though nothing
