Chapter 298 A strange coincidence
Xi Yu was dragged out by Yan Sanqiang. She frowned and felt his grip on her hand tighten.
Is it really that big of a deal? It's just that my name was called!
She tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't, so she just let him be.
"Where are we going?" Xi Yu frowned as she watched Yan San lead her out.
"Back to the research institute." His face darkened, and he was about to take her back without further ado.
Xi Yu quickly pressed his hand down, forcing him to stop: "What's the point of going back at this hour? Let's sleep here for the night first!"
It's almost midnight now, and if I rush back to the research institute, I won't have much time to rest.
"You want to stay?" Yan San turned around abruptly, his deep pupils accusing him in a low voice.
Xi Yu rolled her eyes in annoyance and retorted bluntly, "How can you drive in your current mental state? I can't drive this kind of car!"
She could pilot a spaceship, but she was completely lost with a mere shuttle, and she also had to prepare the nutritional supplements that Luo Hongyuan would need for the next few days.
Seeing that Yan San kept his lips closed and did not respond, Xi Yu simply grabbed him and led him to the room on the third floor.
Xi Yu took out a nutritional potion and tossed it to him: "Drink it, then go to sleep." After that, she still had to continue making potions.
Yan San took it, and although there was still a hint of displeasure on his face, he no longer insisted on going back. He obediently drank the medicine, sat down on the bed, and watched Xi Yu busy herself.
Xi Yu had just picked out the raw materials she needed when she heard no movement from Yan San for a long time. She turned around and saw the person sleeping on her bed.
"Hey, that's my bed! There are plenty of rooms here, why are you taking mine!" Xi Yu took two steps forward, trying to pull the person who was occupying her bed off her.
Yan San was sleeping soundly, though his brows were slightly furrowed even in his sleep.
He looked really tired; he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
Xi Yu raised her hand and threw two punches at him, but she couldn't wake him up. She just swung the thin blanket and hit him. Just as she was about to turn her head, a silver light on Yan San's neck caught her attention.
She reached out and gently picked out a portion of the silver necklace that had slipped out of her collar. In the center of the necklace was the cloud crystal stone that she had once lent to Yan San!
Xi Yu couldn't help but reach into the inner pocket of her clothes, where she found an identical necklace, except that hers had an extra blood-red gemstone, which Yan San had returned to her.
As if burned by the necklace, she quickly stuffed it back into her inner pocket, wiped her face, and turned to hurry back to her work.
……
Yan San slept very soundly, and the wrinkles between his brows gradually relaxed without him realizing it.
Three days without sleep left him exhausted, and in this room filled with the scent of Xi language, he would drift off to sleep as soon as he relaxed.
Yan San woke up as the first rays of sunlight shone in.
He slowly sat up, the thin blanket slipping off his body as he moved, a hint of surprise flashing across his usually composed face.
He rarely slept soundly outside, and even he himself didn't realize when he fell asleep.
He had just raised his eyes when he saw Xi Yu sleeping on the sofa. The soft morning light fell on half of her face, making the fine hairs on her face look pale gold.
Yan San walked to the sofa as if possessed, and bent down to approach the still sleeping girl.
From what point did her image become so deeply ingrained in his mind, reaching his very heart?
