"The girl who spent a happy day out with you!"
Jiang Fan looked at the note attached to the friend request and thought for a moment. Remembering all the calls Qiao Shan had made, he was fairly certain this Little Wildcat was Qiao Yifei.
To be honest, he was unwilling ten thousand times over to add her, but out of respect for Elder Qiao, he very reluctantly tapped accept!
Meanwhile, in a residential complex far away in Lingzhou City!
A young woman with a graceful figure wore pink silk pajamas. The fabric was soft, delicate, and very comfortable.
Only, the hem was a little short, barely covering her round, shapely bottom.
A pair of long, jade-like legs lay exposed, looking exceedingly tempting. Had Jiang Fan seen them, his nose probably would have started gushing blood again!
She lay on her stomach on a large, soft bed, her fair arms propping up her delicate chin, her large phoenix eyes occasionally glancing at the phone in front of her!
"What's going on? I've sent the request several times already. He still hasn't accepted!"
"What on earth is that big idiot doing?"
"Could I have entered the wrong phone number?"
The girl quickly sat up. Since it was past eleven at night and time for bed, she wasn't wearing any underwear, and a tempting view could be seen through her wide neckline.
Then she picked up her phone and carefully checked the number.
"135****6688. The number's right!"
Just as she was considering calling him, her phone beeped!
She hurriedly opened WeChat and discovered that Jiang Fan had accepted her friend request.
She immediately broke into a grin, then sent him a message!
Little Wildcat: Hello, Jiang Fan!
Jiang Fan: Hello!
Little Wildcat: It's so late. Why are you still awake?
Jiang Fan: Going to sleep now. Bye!
When Chu Ruoxi saw Jiang Fan's reply, her rapidly typing hands suddenly froze in midair!
Three black lines instantly appeared on her forehead, leaving her speechless with embarrassment!
She had waited all evening, full of anticipation, only for Jiang Fan to say two sentences, seven characters.
When they had watched a movie and played arcade games together before, Jiang Fan hadn't said much, but she could tell from his eyes that he definitely liked her quite a bit too.
But what was going on now?
Right.
I haven't introduced myself yet. He probably doesn't know Little Wildcat is me.
At this thought, Chu Ruoxi instantly understood.
Having found the crux of the problem, Chu Ruoxi sent another message!
Little Wildcat: Do you know who I am? Hehe...
Jiang Fan: Qiao Yifei.
Chu Ruoxi froze the moment she saw Jiang Fan's reply.
"Qiao Yifei?"
Chu Ruoxi murmured.
One could tell just from the name that it belonged to a girl.
But Jiang Fan probably rarely interacted with girls, and there wasn't a girl with that name in their class!
Could Jiang Fan have met another girl after just two days in the Capital?
A sense of crisis immediately rose in Chu Ruoxi's heart! Although she didn't know why she felt that way herself!
Just as she was about to tell Jiang Fan that she was Chu Ruoxi,
she suddenly deleted the words she had typed!
Since Jiang Fan had mistaken her for Qiao Yifei, she could use Qiao Yifei's identity to find out what Jiang Fan really thought!
With that thought, Chu Ruoxi didn't expose the misunderstanding and sent another message instead!
Little Wildcat: You're pretty "clever"!
Little Wildcat: Can you tell me what you think of me?
After sending the messages, Chu Ruoxi lay on the bed in her original position, who knew what wild thoughts running through her little head?
She waited like that for Jiang Fan's reply, but one minute passed, two minutes, ten minutes, an hour...
Until she fell asleep!
The great grasslands of northern Dragon Country!
A blade of grass that had slept through the night stretched out beneath the first rays of morning sunlight.
A crystal-clear dewdrop still hung from its pointed leaf, like a dazzling gem.
Just as it waved its leaf to show off to the other blades of grass, a colossal creature descended from the sky and stomped it into the dirt.
"Woof, woof..."
The colossal creature ran merrily across the grass, barking from time to time!
"Black Wind, come home and eat!"
A burly man in the distance shouted at a black dog!
The wolfdog named Black Wind stopped running, stood still and looked ahead, then turned to look at his owner, who had turned and was leaving!
Then he raced toward his owner!
The blade of grass that Black Wind had trampled into the dirt finally managed to pull its leaf free after exerting the strength of nine oxen and two tigers!
Only for Black Wind, returning along the same path, to stomp it back into the dirt!
Black Wind soon reached his owner, then slowed down and walked with him toward a tent with cooking smoke rising from it!
Thirty kilometers west of the tent stood a building resembling a factory. It was the Northern Controlled Nuclear Fusion Base!
At that moment, a young man stood on an observation tower, looking out over the boundless grasslands. Having worked all night, he stretched!
A breeze blew past, and the entire grassland seemed to turn into a green ocean, waves of green rising and falling with the wind!
Looking at the grassland, he felt considerably more at ease!
He wore a smile, marveling inwardly. The Stay-Up-Late Capsule awarded by the system really was good. He had spent the whole night organizing the controlled nuclear fusion plan, yet he wasn't the least bit sleepy now. Instead, he was brimming with energy!
With his mind, he opened the stay-up-late dialogue box in his head and saw that he still had 9,992 hours left!
He had worked it out: even if he stayed up every night, it would last him more than three whole years!
The system really was powerful!
Just as Jiang Fan was lost in thought, Zhang Wenshan called up to him from below!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, time to eat!"
"Mm!"
Jiang Fan came down from the observation tower and went to the base cafeteria with Zhang Wenshan!
Looking at the deserted cafeteria, Zhang Wenshan couldn't help sighing. Before, the whole cafeteria had been packed at mealtimes, but now only a dozen or so people sat in the chilly emptiness.
"Good morning, Chief Engineer Jiang!"
They all greeted Jiang Fan warmly when they saw him!
They were all deeply impressed by the abilities Jiang Fan had displayed yesterday.
Then Jiang Fan got his food and sat with them!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, when do we start modifying the controlled nuclear fusion setup today? Your explanation yesterday really set my blood boiling!"
"That's right. There may not be many of us now, but when it comes to work, each of us is worth a hundred! Hehe..."
The veteran researchers who had stayed all had deep feelings for the controlled nuclear fusion base. None of them wanted the project to stop.
They all hoped Jiang Fan could lead them to meet the challenge a month from now and save the base.
Seeing every one of them so full of drive, Jiang Fan was very heartened too.
After breakfast, Jiang Fan retrieved the plan he had organized yesterday from his bedroom.
Everyone froze at the sight of the thick stack of documents!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, you put all this together last night?"
"Mm!"
"You didn't sleep all night?"
