Chapter 1391: His Good Intentions Were Rejected
Qin Yiyan was uneasy and still wanted to follow her.
But Liu Xin'ai stopped him, saying, "No need to follow!"
Her stopping him made Qin Yiyan freeze for a moment before he said, "... Then go home and get some good rest, and take two days off from the Laboratory as well."
"I will consider it myself."
After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she left without looking back.
This time, Qin Yiyan did not follow her.
He just stood where he was, his gaze gradually deepening.
Cai Xiaotang was also watching Liu Xin'ai's back; she even tilted her head and muttered, "How come it feels like Xin'ai is suddenly being so polite to us?"
Jiang Baobao felt the same way.
But after thinking for a moment, Jiang Baobao explained for Liu Xin'ai: "She is probably afraid that we will worry."
"Hey, isn't pretending to be strong even more worrying?"
After Cai Xiaotang finished speaking, she let out an "Oh!"
This sound startled Jiang Baobao, who immediately turned her head and asked, "What is it again?"
"I forgot to give this medicine to Xin'ai!"
That medicine was given to them by the nurse before they went downstairs.
As a result, the moment she ran into Qin Yiyan, Cai Xiaotang had forgotten all about the medicine!
But just as Cai Xiaotang was preparing to call Liu Xin'ai, she felt her hand go empty!
When she looked up again... she discovered that Qin Yiyan had taken the medicine and was running with agility.
There were quite a lot of people in the Hospital at the moment, but Qin Yiyan wove through them very nimbly, and his figure soon disappeared.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang could not help but exclaim, "There is even a bit of a feeling of throwing caution to the wind for love."
Jiang Baobao laughed in spite of herself: "Have you watched too many romance movies?"
"Even movies couldn't film this effect."
The two friends teased each other while walking toward the outside of the Hospital.
However, when they reached the main entrance, they found Qin Yiyan standing there blankly.
And the medicine in his hand was still there.
Cai Xiaotang walked over suspiciously and asked, "What is going on?"
"When I came out, Xin'ai had already left."
When Qin Yiyan spoke, his face was full of disappointment.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Baobao did not say anything else, but volunteered: "Since you missed her, then I will send the medicine to the Liu Family."
Qin Yiyan wanted to go himself.
But thinking of his relationship with Liu Qingze...
Qin Yiyan still handed the medicine to Jiang Baobao.
On the other side, Cai Xiaotang felt that the timing was right now, so she asked slyly, "Did you follow Xin'ai to the Meishuguan?"
"I did not follow her!"
"Then how was it such a coincidence?"
"I was just passing by there, and when I saw you all go in, I couldn't help but follow you in."
Cai Xiaotang curled her lips, full of doubt regarding the explanation Qin Yiyan gave.
But Qin Yiyan had no heart for giving excessive explanations.
At this moment, unease was permeating his heart.
He even sought confirmation from Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang: "Is Xin'ai really okay?"
"The examination results are fine."
"No, what I mean is..."
Qin Yiyan's words did not finish before he stopped.
It was during this moment that Cai Xiaotang smiled and continued for him: "Are you suspecting that Xin'ai has recovered her memory? Don't overthink it; we asked her, and she said she only occasionally thinks of some fragments, but I estimate... it is not far from recovering her memory. If you want to get close to Xin'ai, you should seize the recent opportunity."
Cai Xiaotang's words were simple and direct.
And often, it is exactly these kinds of words that can pierce the heart more deeply.
Qin Yiyan felt his heart ache, and his expression was clearly panicked.
However, some people were actually quite happy.
The news of Liu Xin'ai attending the seminar had already been broadcast.
It even caused a small-scale discussion in academic circles.
Jiang Chenghao also watched the news.
He even clipped out the part with Liu Xin'ai and watched it repeatedly.
And while he was admiring it, he thought of something...
Jiang Chenghao only hesitated for a moment before picking up his phone and calling Professor Shen.
After brief pleasantries and formalities, Jiang Chenghao stated his idea: "Everyone has been working quite hard recently; how about taking two days off? I will treat everyone to soak in the hot springs at the Resort, how about that?"
"This..."
"You are all brain workers; when you use your brains too much, going to soak in the hot springs is just right for relaxing tense nerves."
Professor Shen knew that Jiang Chenghao also had good intentions and did not refuse directly, but instead said, "I will ask for the others' suggestions, and then give you an answer."
"That is fine, or if you have other ideas, you can also tell me; I will try my best to satisfy them."
Jiang Chenghao was truly overly considerate.
Thinking back to what he had done for everyone before...
Professor Shen felt it was undeserved, so he said, "Actually, Mr. Jiang, there is no need to do so much."
Jiang Chenghao seemed to hear the subtext in Professor Shen's words.
He smiled faintly, his tone very calm: "To me, these are all small matters that require little effort, but if these small actions can make everyone happy, relaxed, and better able to complete the work ahead, then why not do it?"
Jiang Chenghao's words left Professor Shen unable to refute.
Since he could not win the argument, Professor Shen did not dwell on it any longer.
After hanging up the phone, he even relayed Jiang Chenghao's words to the members in the Laboratory.
The members were not very old, and completing dull work in the Laboratory every day had already suppressed their nature.
Now that they heard there was an activity to participate in, they responded enthusiastically at once.
Everyone's passionate response made Professor Shen shake his head helplessly.
Afterwards, he looked at Liu Xin'ai again.
Liu Xin'ai's expression was very faint, and her smile was also very faint; she looked no different from usual.
But for some reason, Professor Shen just felt... a bit strange.
However, the continuous sound of conversation made it impossible for Professor Shen to continue probing.
He reached out to signal everyone to calm down, and then contacted Jiang Chenghao.
And having received a response, Jiang Chenghao immediately set about making arrangements.
The Resort he chose was in the suburbs of the city.
Although it was not far away, it possessed beautiful mountains and waters, and the scenery was picturesque.
The hot springs here were also very famous; it was said that the hot spring water was drawn from underground living water, rich in various minerals, beneficial to the body, and could also beautify the skin.
The hotel in the Shanzhuang was even five-star, with first-class service standards.
In order to let everyone have a better experience, Jiang Chenghao arranged the activity details very thoroughly.
He even called Liu Xin'ai to ask if she wanted to have Xu Xiaoxiao come along for company, because there were few female researchers, and Liu Xin'ai might feel bored.
But Liu Xin'ai refused without even thinking: "I'm not that delicate, and Xiao Xiao is also very busy, so don't disturb her."
"This doesn't count as a disturbance, does it? Going to soak in the hot springs is also a form of relaxation for Xu Xiaoxiao."
"But I think that telling someone the result directly without discussing it first is a disturbance."
"But aren't you two good friends?"
"It is precisely because we are good friends that I should not disrupt her plans."
During the exchange, Liu Xin'ai's tone was very flat, and what she said was also reasonable and well-founded.
And this version of her made Jiang Chenghao fall silent.
Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
