It was already 4 p.m in the afternoon by the time Zi Yi and Lu Jingye arrived at the secret base.

The managers of the secret base and Elder Hu all came out to welcome their arrival.

As soon as Elder Hu saw Zi Yi, he had a wide smile on his face and he pulled Zi Yi towards the lab. “Little Zi, you’re finally here. Come, let’s work on some experiments together.”

Lu Jingye looked at the two distant figures. It took him a few seconds before he shifted his gaze away and looked at the five managers, who were craning their necks to look in the same direction.

The five of them immediately stood upright after noticing Lu Jingye’s gaze on them.

Lu Jingye said to them, “Let’s go to the conference room.”

He headed towards one of the buildings after saying that.

Ji Dekun winked at the others and whispered, “Say, which base do you think the Second Young Master and Zi Yi are at?”

Wang Biao replied, “Instead of being concerned about this, shouldn’t you be worried about how you have treated Miss Zi in the past, and thinking about whether the Second Young Master would make things difficult for you or not?”

Ji Dekun’s expression changed and he immediately revealed a bitter expression.

Zhang Hongliang joined in and said, “You better keep your curious thoughts at bay. Be careful as the Second Young Master might just teach you a lesson.”

Tian Dongquan poured salt on Ji Dekun’s wound and said, “You’re single yourself, so why are you so concerned about this type of thing? Aren’t thoughts like this just taking a knife and stabbing your sore spot?”

Ji Dekun felt like blowing up in anger and just when he was about to speak, Lu Yi glanced at him and said, “It’s boring.”

The four of them left after they had said their piece.

Ji Dekun’s expression changed several times before he grinned. “What’s wrong with liking some gossip? You guys are the ones who are boring.”

Zi Yi and Elder Hu directly made their way to the lab.

While they walked, Elder Hu said in an excited tone of voice, “I’ve done many experiments with the cell regeneration liquid and the results are all very successful.”

He then told her about the reactions of those successful experiments at the later stages.

Elder Hu excitedly said, after he finished informing her of the results, “I feel that it will be fine even if we immediately started experimenting on a human body.”

“It doesn’t work this way.” Zi Yi said, “There’s still a big difference between humans and experimental bodies. When the cell regeneration liquid flows into Yunxiao’s brain, there are numerous possibilities, so we have to make additional preparations in advance.”

“What kind of preparations?”

Zi Yi told him what preparations were required and after that, she said, “I will prepare some medicine and it would be best if we don’t directly operate on Yunxiao. We’ll let him enter a special container that is filled with the nutrient solution liquid that his body needs. In the end, we’ll inject the cell regeneration liquid into his brain.”

Elder Hu looked at Zi Yi in amazement after hearing what she had to say.

“Little Zi, how did you come up with such a treatment method?”

Disregarding whether this method was feasible or not, just the concept of it alone sounded far better than the best treatment method available now.

Zi Yi answered with a serious expression, “I thought of it by combining my knowledge from various medical books.”

Elder Hu: “…”

Why does he feel that the little girl in front of him was speaking nonsense?

Elder Hu thought for a moment. He did not wish to dampen her spirits, but he still ended up saying, “This idea of yours is good, but how do you intend to create the nutrient solution you mentioned? Are you able to create it in such a short period of time?”

“Yes, I can.”

Zi Yi then said, “The majority of the medicinal ingredients that Ah Jing collected previously can be used. We’ll just have to buy a few more medicinal ingredients from the market and then I’ll be able to create it.”

“But we don’t have the formula for that.”

This type of nutrient solution was unheard of to Elder Hu.

“I have it.” Zi Yi knew that Elder Hu would not believe her. When they arrived at the lab, she took out a pen and notebook from one of the drawers and sat down. She then started to fill the pages with words.

Elder Hu stood behind her and looked at the names of the medicinal ingredients she had written.

Zi Yi had written on a total of forty to fifty pages.

Looking at the thick list of medicinal ingredients, Elder Hu was so shocked that his eyes were wide open.

The names of the medicinal ingredients that Zi Yi had written down were all familiar to him. There were some which he did not even know could be paired together.

After Zi Yi finished writing out all the medicinal ingredients, his expression was rather solemn.

He originally wanted to say something, but Lu Jingye made his way in at that moment.

When Zi Yi saw Lu Jingye coming in, she passed him the list of medicinal ingredients she had written. “Ah Jing, this is the nutrient solution’s prescription for Yunxiao.”

Lu Jingye took the prescription and nodded his head. “Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare them right away.”

“Mr. Lu.” Elder Hu could not hold back anymore and asked, “Do you really believe in this prescription?”

Lu Jingye nodded his head. “Since I’ve asked you two over to help treat Yunxiao, I will certainly have faith in you.”

Elder Hu was still a little worried.

Zi Yi could more or less make out what he was worried about. She smiled and said, “Elder Hu, don’t you worry. Yunxiao is my brother-in-law and I’ve said this to Ah Jing before. I will only marry him after Yunxiao regains consciousness. In order to marry Ah Jing without a hitch, I am also hoping to have Yunxiao wake up as soon as possible.”

Elder Hu looked at Lu Jingye with an expression of surprise.

Lu Jingye raised his hand and stroked her head. “So that I can marry you, Yunxiao will also do his best to recover.”

Zi Yi laughed at that.

Elder Hu was speechless…

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had partaken in an extremely long journey to arrive here today and Lu Jingye did not allow her to continue with the experiments. After they went to check up on Lu Yunxiao, they returned to their place of residence.

Lu Jingye had a separate small yard of his own.

Around the fence of the yard was a tangerine tree and it was the season for tangerine trees to be ripe and in full blossom.

Zi Yi directly made her way over to the tree when she entered the courtyard and saw the tree.

Lu Jingye walked over to her, raised his hand, and picked a tangerine that was located in a slightly higher place for her.

“Now that it’s winter, there are more foggy days than sunny days and so, the tangerines are juicy and sweet.”

Zi Yi started peeling the skin off of the tangerine and sure enough, it was sweet and juicy.

Zi Yi peeled another piece and fed it to Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye ate the tangerine that was placed on his lips.

The corner of her lips curled up and Zi Yi said, “This tangerine is so sweet and it seems like during this period of time where I’ll be staying here, I won’t have to worry about not having fruits to eat.”

Having said that, she continued eating.

“There are also other fruits available here.”

“Hmm?”

“Grapefruits, sugarcane, apples… besides these few, there are many wild fruits in the mountains.”

Zi Yi’s eyes brightened as Lu Jingye listed the fruits available here. “Let’s have a walk in the mountains when we have time!”

“Okay.”

They entered the room and Lu Jingye suddenly thought of something. “I don’t have an air conditioning unit installed here. Would you prefer to install air conditioning or just have floor heating?”

Zi Yi checked out the room and continued walking inside.

Lu Jingye tagged along.

After Zi Yi finished checking out the master bedroom, she said, “I feel that there’s no need to install anything.”

“It’s very cold here at night during winter.”

“Hehe, it’s better when it’s cold. We’ll be able to hug each other for warmth when the time comes.”

“…”

Lu Jingye suddenly felt like grabbing the young lady and doing something to her.

At the thought of this, he also decided to act on it.

Their lips met each other and their surrounding temperature slowly warmed up. Gradually, the entire room seemed to be as warm as springtime when flowers are blooming.

The situation was so intense that Lu Jingye’s fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, as they snaked their way into her clothes while caressing her waist.

As he listened to the young lady’s charming moans, Lu Jingye only managed to separate himself from her after exerting great efforts to restrain himself.

Zi Yi hugged his waist in discontentment. As she gasped for air, she muttered in a soft voice, “You’re so old-fashioned! I really wouldn’t be surprised if you become sick from restraining yourself too much and because of you, we won’t have a happy life in the future anymore..”
