Chapter 207: Chapter 207

Rong Zhi patted his back to signal him to go back to his room and sleep.

Rong Jiazze wanted to accompany her but was dragged into the room by the young man by the collar.

He pushed against the door, afraid of angering Rong Zhi and not daring to go out. Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed the phone on the bed, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the second half of the night.

Rong Zhi finished injecting today’s dose of antidote, and was about to wash up and sleep, when her phone suddenly vibrated on the countertop. Glancing at the name displayed, her fingers swiftly hung up.

She turned off the laboratory lights and shuffled downstairs in her shoes. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovelHub(.)net

The light at the unit entrance cast a small patch of illumination, the man’s tall and straight figure half submerged in the darkness, half visible, calm and lonely.

This time, he seemed a bit different.

Rong Zhi opened the door to let Bai Su in.

"I thought you were asleep."

With the phone hung up so decisively just now, he thought he might have to try climbing over the wall and into the building.

Rong Zhi shook her head.

Back in the house, she poured Bai Su a glass of water and then went to wash up herself.

Bai Su placed the water on the coffee table. He remembered Rong Jiazze saying the young man had drunk alcohol not long ago. After circling the living room once and finding no trace of any bottles, he turned his gaze sideways to the balcony, then frowned.

Half an hour later, Rong Zhi came out from the room, drying the ends of her hair.

The young man wore simple, loose pajamas, messy hair framing his gentle, quiet fox-like eyes, calm and peaceful, quietly serene.

Bai Su’s restlessness was soothed instantly. He beckoned the young man over, pointing to the hairdryer beside him, "Let me dry it for you, dry it sooner, sleep sooner."

Rong Zhi did not refuse; perhaps the antidote’s effect was making her sleepy.

Surprisingly, she felt sleepy even though it wasn’t a familiar bed.

Bai Su took the young man’s towel just before she could pull her hand back, and suddenly grabbed her wrist, his tone slightly anxious, "What’s going on?"

The hand grasped in his palm was very fair, making the tiny needle marks look even more terrifying.

He tightened his grip slightly, but afraid of hurting her, turned her towards him, staring at her delicate and pretty face, studying it carefully, finally noticing a hint of something amiss.

The young man’s eyes carried a trace of light red at the corners, looking exhausted, as if she could fall asleep anywhere the next second.

Rong Zhi would never look this way.

Bai Su’s lips pressed into a straight line, and after a long while, he spoke, his throat tight, "Zai Zai..."

The words hadn’t fallen.

The young man, who had been sitting upright, suddenly toppled into his arms.

Her forehead leaned against his chest and unconsciously rubbed against him.

Whatever he wanted to say, he couldn’t utter.

Bai Su lowered his head, eyes deep and dark.

The young man had, for the first time, actively leaned into his embrace. He should be happy, but given the situation now, he couldn’t be happy at all, a heavy weight pressed down on his heart, making breathing difficult.

The person in his arms fell into sleep.

Bai Su, afraid to disturb her sleep, waited for a while until he was confident that she was deeply asleep, then gently wrapped his arms around her waist and thighs, picking her up sideways.

The weight in his hands was much lighter than the first time he carried her.

He pressed his lips together, his peach blossom eyes as dark as the night.

When Rong Zhi woke up, Bai Su was already not in the room. Rong Jiazze was also gone, presumably taken by Jiang Gujun. She sent Jiang Gujun a thank-you message.

She arrived at the Mechanical Engineering Institute just on time, assigned tasks, and continued busying herself with yesterday’s design draft.

Since her identity had been revealed, Huajing Group had placed enormous trust in her and eagerly anticipated the completion of the weapon.

She naturally couldn’t let them down and, indeed, Hua Country’s status in the mechanical sciences had been waning in recent years. Perhaps the success of this project would bring about change, or so she hoped.

Focused on drafting her design up until noon, she was about to make the final stroke when a message popped up on her tablet: it was Bai Tingxun’s call.

Answering, Bai Tingxun’s anxious and slightly angry voice resonated through the line, "Deputy Manager, you need to return to the company quickly. The company is saying they want to revoke your position as head and hand it over to General Manager Rong!"

Rong Zhi leisurely finished her stroke, responding in a calm voice, "I know."

Bai Tingxun: "Then I’ll help stabilize things here for now; you need to get back soon!"

Lu Si happened to walk through the door, accidentally overhearing the entire conversation. He paused, asking, "Third Young Master, do you have something urgent to attend to?"

"Mm," Rong Zhi handed him the tablet, "have them create the concept drawing first, I’ll check it after work."

Once Rong Zhi left, he took the tablet out. Liu Yue Zhang, upon hearing that it was drawn by Rong Zhi, eagerly asked to connect it to the computer and expand it onto the big screen.

A simple and neat pistol design draft displayed before their eyes; everyone paused their breathing, urging Liu Yue Zhang to extract the data from the draft.

The next second, dense numbers leaped around the screen, sliding by rapidly.

What kind of divine design draft is this?!

If it weren’t for the actual completed drawing, they wouldn’t understand a thing just from the data!

Truly a mechanical genius!
