Song Yao shed her coat, revealing a white sweater and high-waisted jeans—far more innocent and college-girl-like than her usual work attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you disgusting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not even shy anymore.

Pathetically childish.

As for Germany, the W7-X stellarator has only managed six minutes of net energy gain under Lawson criterion conditions.”\u003C\u002Fp>",567,"2026-06-20T21:06:45.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fa3c9c3138bfe3f40a41d1b182cdfe7d2a20ea6fcf351fc37ade8622081f45ad","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-772","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-770",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
