Chapter 1337: Haste Makes Waste

Lin Ze was very hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell his boss about this little episode.

However, he only hesitated for a moment before deciding that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lin Ze quickly cast the little episode to the back of his mind.

But Liu Xin'ai was not so composed.

As soon as she thought about Qin Yiyan being out there and potentially being taken advantage of by all sorts of women, she felt...

He was so pitiful!

Yet Liu Xin'ai did not understand business matters and could not help at all.

Sigh!

Liu Xin'ai sighed, and after getting into the car, she remained in a dejected state.

But she suddenly sat up straight because she had thought of something, and her eyes became bright and sparkling!

The next second, Liu Xin'ai tapped the driver's seat, telling him to turn the car around.

And she changed the destination to Professor Shen's Laboratory.

This Laboratory was newly set up by Professor Shen; there were many projects, and he had to lead quite a few researchers every day, keeping them busy and bustling.

But when Professor Shen saw Liu Xin'ai, he immediately put down all the work in his hands and personally went to greet her.

Professor Shen assumed Liu Xin'ai had come today just to look around, so he enthusiastically brought her inside to tour and provided detailed explanations.

Professor Shen explained things very meticulously, yet Liu Xin'ai only understood half of it and was completely bewildered.

But slowly, she felt something awakening in her blood.

Moreover, she suddenly felt that the things in the Laboratory were no longer unfamiliar.

She even felt eager to try, wanting to do it herself and operate the equipment!

However, thinking of her purpose for coming here, Liu Xin'ai suppressed her excited emotions.

Then she calmly asked Professor Shen: "Does our Laboratory have any medicine developed with special functions?"

Liu Xin'ai's question made Professor Shen pause.

Then, he slowly asked: "The special functions you refer to... what kind of functions are they?"

"It's medicine that can improve a person's immunity and make their willpower firm."

Professor Shen was stunned again; he had spent his whole life in research and had truly never heard of any medicine... that could make a person's willpower firm.

It was just too mysterious!

Yet Liu Xin'ai spoke very seriously, as if this thing should exist in this world.

Seeing that the professor had not spoken for a long time, Liu Xin'ai asked: "Is there none?"

"I apologize, I have never heard of such a thing."

"If there isn't... then I can only develop it myself."

As her voice fell, Liu Xin'ai felt many data points and blueprints suddenly flash through her mind.

Although those images flashed by very quickly, Liu Xin'ai's brain seemed to reach out with many small tentacles, grabbing those images in time and rapidly integrating them into her brain!

Those blueprints were things Liu Xin'ai had designed for fun when she was bored during her school days.

But now...

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, wanting to recall the entire development process.

Forcing the memory was somewhat painful, and Liu Xin'ai could not help but knit her brows.

Seeing this, Professor Shen became anxious and hurriedly called out: "Xin'ai, Xin'ai!?"

After Professor Shen called out four or five times in succession, Liu Xin'ai slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was clear and bright, showing no traces of any pain.

But Professor Shen, who was opposite Liu Xin'ai, was sweating from anxiety.

This made Liu Xin'ai ask in confusion: "Are you very hot?"

"I'm not hot, but what is wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell, or do you have a headache?"

Professor Shen stared at Liu Xin'ai without blinking, his eyes full of concern and care.

This made Liu Xin'ai feel very warm; she pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "I'm fine, please don't worry."

"But just now..."

"I just thought of some things and would like to borrow your Laboratory."

Professor Shen understood something and asked: "You want to do research and development?"

"Yes, but it's not exactly large-scale R&D; I just want to develop some tablets with special functions."

These words sounded a bit familiar.

Professor Shen recalled for a moment and then asked: "Is it the kind of medicine you mentioned just now?"

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently, confirming Professor Shen's assumption.

Professor Shen did not comment on Liu Xin'ai's decision.

He only said: "You, you are still too impatient. Things must be done slowly; you cannot force yourself to break your limits just because you are anxious to do something."

Professor Shen had not understood just now why Liu Xin'ai had closed her eyes and shown a pained expression.

But now he understood.

It seemed this girl wanted to recall something.

This made Professor Shen worry, fearing she was being impetuous.

And Liu Xin'ai...

She lowered her eyes, her tone flat: "After discovering that the former me was very capable, it is truly hard not to be anxious."

Liu Xin'ai had a premonition that the tablets she wanted to develop at this moment might be like toys to the past Liu Xin'ai.

It was easy.

But now?

Liu Xin'ai felt very bewildered.

After hearing Liu Xin'ai's words, Professor Shen asked tentatively, "Are you dissatisfied with your current self?"

Liu Xin'ai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Professor Shen sighed and said earnestly, "I actually think every stage of life is very meaningful. The previous Liu Xin'ai was busy with work and paid little attention to family and friends. But the current Liu Xin'ai enjoys life and has experienced more affection and friendship, and even love—would you say that isn't precious?"

The professor's previous words were quite reasonable.

But love...

Liu Xin'ai's cheeks flushed slightly.

Professor Shen, however, did not feel there was anything wrong with his words at all.

He raised his hand to pat Liu Xin'ai on the shoulder and gave his final piece of advice: "Whatever you want to do in the Laboratory, just go ahead and do it, but as I said before, don't be in a rush."

Liu Xin'ai was very grateful for Professor Shen's guidance and help.

She looked up and revealed a smile.

Watching her smile, Professor Shen felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

The Liu Xin'ai he knew was a resilient child who was not afraid of hardship.

Even if the chances were slim, it would not affect her actions and decisions.

Although she had lost her memory, Professor Shen still had confidence in her.

It was just that...

Who exactly was she going to give that medicine she was researching to?

A flash of suspicion crossed Professor Shen's mind.

And for the next few days, Liu Xin'ai immersed herself in the Laboratory.

At the beginning, Liu Xin'ai was still a bit at a loss, and she found all the various equipment inside very novel.

But very quickly, Liu Xin'ai's sense of familiarity with the work returned.

She simply adapted for a bit, then began to work.

Then, she followed the images remaining in her memory to conduct the research and development.

Doing experiments, the process is inevitably a bit dull.

For Liu Xin'ai, she felt that it was all full of joy!

Moreover, she felt like a fish in water in the Laboratory.

It didn't even take her much time to develop the bottle of new medicine she wanted.

The drug testing process was also simple and crude: Liu Xin'ai actually took the medicine herself and recorded the data.

Her colleagues were all stunned by Liu Xin'ai's actions.

One of them took the initiative to approach Liu Xin'ai and said hesitantly, "Little Liu, you... aren't you being too ruthless to yourself?"

Liu Xin'ai stared at the values and said nonchalantly, "The medicinal properties of this drug aren't that aggressive; even if an ordinary person takes it, it won't affect their bodily functions."
