Chapter 716: This is an era of survival of the fittest

Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

When Xu Qingzhou got home, Song Yao had already prepared the dishes. Seeing him return, she opened her arms and gave him a big hug first.

"Don't move, let me absorb some yang energy."

"..."

Xu Qingzhou felt helpless. Holding her fragrant and soft body, he was actually feeling a bit restless, so he said pointedly: "Teacher Song, are we eating now, or should we do something else first?"

"..."

"Eat!"

If Xu Qingzhou hadn't asked, Song Yao might have done something shy with him, because she hadn't been feeling well at the beginning of the month, plus Xu Qingzhou had been on a business trip, so they hadn't been close for over ten days.

But since Xu Qingzhou asked, she had to firmly and decisively refuse him, indicating she wouldn't be complicit with him.

Her husband coming home and acting like she... was dissatisfied with something.

"Heh, I should just bring this girl to justice right here."

Xu Qingzhou watched Song Yao proudly lift her chin and roughly saw through the thoughts of this tsundere. Burying one's head to steal a bell, pretending to be reserved... usually, he didn't even know who was the one going "ying ying ying."

Song Yao went to stir-fry.

Xu Qingzhou didn't stay idle; he opened his suitcase. He had been in a rush to return in the afternoon and hadn't had time to tidy up.

He threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine and then took out his toiletries.

Afterward, he went to take a shower, and when he came out, the fragrant food had already been served on the dining table.

"I've just been craving this."

Xu Qingzhou first had a spoonful of pork rib soup.

On a business trip, the hotel food certainly wasn't bad, but eating it for seven or eight days in a row was still a bit cloying; home-cooked food was better.

"Eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you."

Seeing Xu Qingzhou eating like a starving ghost reincarnated, Song Yao pursed her lips and added some soup for him.

Xu Qingzhou wolfed down two bowls of rice and took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes.

Washing dishes, wiping the table, mopping the floor...

Xu Qingzhou came out of the kitchen wiping his hands; Song Yao was typing away, listening to Ding Jiahui talk about the studio's project.

Ding Jiahui had resigned last month and was now working full-time managing the studio's operations and promotion.

Given that she often sought advice from Song Yao.

Song Yao's advice was that everything in work should follow the studio's rules and regulations; they couldn't set a bad precedent just because everyone knew each other.

Xu Qingzhou sat down, and she subconsciously put her feet into his lap. After a busy day, the most comfortable thing was having Xu Qingzhou massage her feet.

"Not playing."

Xu Qingzhou glanced at the tender little feet resting on his thighs and remained unmoved.

Having been on a business trip for so long, what he was after certainly wasn't just this.

"You..."

Song Yao's typing hands paused; she had already sensed Xu Qingzhou's malicious gaze.

Creak~

When she looked again, Song Yao had already been pinned to the sofa by Xu Qingzhou.

"I still have things to do."

"The most important thing can wait until tomorrow."

Xu Qingzhou lowered his head.

The next day.

At 11:00 AM, Song Yao let out a murmur, burrowed into Xu Qingzhou's arms, and coiled around him like an octopus.

Xu Qingzhou smiled gently and used his hand to tidy the hair on the girl's forehead. "Looks like you're tired."

Not to mention Song Yao.

Last night and this morning.

He was a bit tired himself now.

Xu Qingzhou didn't feel sleepy; he stared at the ceiling, lost in thought about the arrangements for this period.

Li Yi and Gao Wenjin's group would head to the Institute of Plasma Physics next Tuesday to participate in the joint experiment there.

As for their research institute, they urgently needed to solve the accumulation of radiation damage during the superconducting integration process...

"Actually, one can still see some things from this seminar. Nowadays, various institutions have made considerable improvements in the field of controllable nuclear fusion; the speed of technological development will be more rapid than in the previous life."

Superconducting thin films, batteries...

Currently, the feeling isn't obvious because technological achievements are still in the landing stage, which is to say, on the eve of industrialization. ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
