You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 82
Chapter 82: What Matters Is Not The Task, But The Person You Do It With
“Okay, go play! ”
Xie Yingqing patted Sun Yang on the back: “Remember, don’t tell anyone what older sister just told you! ”
“Okay! ”
Xie Yingqing looked at the Dean’s room door, smiled, transformed into a Sword Energy, and disappeared from the Orphanage.
She had been wondering whether she should tell the Dean to take care of Sun Yang.
But on second thought, Sun Yang was doing pretty well now, and he didn’t seem to be affected by those people. He was even able to strengthen his body and cultivate his temperament.
To put it bluntly, Xie Yingqing found that she didn’t have anything to prove her identity, so she couldn’t tell the Dean.
Over the next two and a half months, Xie Yingqing’s job was to travel across the nation, verifying the one hundred and twenty-seven children selected by the Ministry of Education, checking if they met the requirements and whether there were any false situations.
Xie Yingqing’s job was simple; she just had to travel around, which could be considered tourism. But Su Qin’an had much more to consider.
In a month and a half, with Su Qin’an’s help, the entire Nine Heavens Research Group became ox and horses, working 007 hours, eating meals that were hard to come by even with a nine-to-five job, earning a salary that wasn’t enough even if they were sold as Black Uncles, doing the most miserable ox and horse work.
The result of working 24 hours a day was gratifying. After Su Qin’an found the people who specialized in assembly, the blueprint was actually created by them.
Even some very crucial yet difficult-to-make parts, such as the strengthening of the key parts’ defense and the laser focusing device Su Qin’an was researching, were also successfully completed.
Although they worked a month and a half like three months, they still completed it; it was a miracle.
“Alright, we’re done! ”
In the laboratory, Su Qin’an laughed loudly: “Tonight, no work! Everyone, go to sleep! You don’t need to get up early tomorrow either! We’ll work when there’s something to do! ”
Three months of sleepless nights and no showering; even immortals probably wouldn’t look good.
For a moment, the people in the entire Research Base almost fought over who would shower first. Only Su Qin’an could clean himself using Spiritual Energy, so he didn’t need to fight with them, escaping a catastrophe.
“Get up! It’s my turn to shower! ”
“No, I’m just going to get some clothes; who took my place! ”
“Old Li, why is your showering so quiet? Are you dry cleaning? ”
“I think you look like you’re dry cleaning! ”
“First come, first served, don’t you understand? Come out and fight one-on-one! ”
“Old Sun! You’ve been showering for so long, did you drown in there? ”
For a time, the Base was noisy and chaotic, like a legendary early market.
The noise didn’t stop until the evening.
But this didn’t affect Su Qin’an, who was lying on the rooftop, looking at the few dim stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Most people in the world like to sleep on soft beds, like to live in luxurious and spacious houses, crave having many wives and concubines, and long to be drunk in a beauty’s lap and hold the power of the world when they wake up.
But Su Qin’an felt like he was missing something, he was naturally a dissolute person. When he was a child, he often skipped his bed and went to lie on the rooftop, claiming that he was watching the stars…
However, Yin Wanshan was also an extraordinary person, well aware that everyone has their own temperament and that one cannot force it, so…
He directly demolished Su Qin’an’s original residence, Xiaoxuan Pavilion…
In Yin Wanshan’s words, don’t you like sleeping in a house? Then don’t sleep in one, sleep on the floor!
Then this kid started running to Xie Yingqing’s Lingchu Pavilion, and was dragged out by Yin Wanshan and scolded.
In the end, Su Qin’an became more restrained, honestly going to live in a house, only occasionally lying on the rooftop.
Looking at the few stars twinkling in the sky, he couldn’t help but wonder: When was the last time I did this?
Oh, right, it was before joining the Daojian Sect.
At that time, he didn’t know Liu Qiming yet, and he could still see the stars all over the sky. He was still worried about whether cooperating with China violated the rules of the Cultivation World.
A few years ago, Xie Yingqing told him that if we’re not in the same place, just look up at the stars, because I’ll be seeing them too.
As long as we see the same stars, we’re together!
Su Qin’an looked at the dim stars, feeling a mix of emotions.
A year ago, he didn’t have his current status or this much work. He wouldn’t run to Tibet Province to exorcise ghosts because of a phone call from Liu Qiming, nor would he work overtime for a month and a half without sleep because of research problems.
At that time, he was always with Xie Yingqing, occasionally giving the Chinese Authorities a few research methods, letting them worry about it themselves.
At that time, when he looked at the stars, his beloved would be by his side, telling him, “I will always support you. Even if everyone else doesn’t approve of you, at least you’re the person I, Xie Yingqing, have chosen. ”
Does Su Qin’an actually like looking at stars?
He does like it, but more importantly…
Even if looking at stars is considered a meaningless waste of time by many people, Xie Yingqing never said so. She would even take Su Qin’an to look at the stars when she felt that he was sad.
It’s not the matter that matters, but the person who’s with you when you do it!
Seeing that he was alone, Su Qin’an couldn’t help but think of Xie Yingqing, the girl who blushed easily when he kissed her, who was easily shy, but would always satisfy him…
What is she doing?
As he thought about it, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
He had achieved quite a lot now; he must invite many friends to his wedding with Ying Qing and tell the whole world that he married Xie Yingqing!
No, no, it’s still too early; why am I thinking about this…
Su Qin’an smiled, lay down on the rooftop, and closed his eyes peacefully.
He vaguely heard Sun Ruilei shouting, “Something’s wrong, the Team Leader is missing; was he abducted? ” Su Qin’an didn’t even want to pay him any attention!
This guy, he’s old enough to be his uncle, why isn’t he as mature as him?
Really, I’ll have him come up and sleep on the rooftop too, to feel the influence of nature!
That’s right, I should add another rule to those many “don’ts”…
…
In the Base, Zhang Xian and Li Weimin moved quickly and ran quickly, showering early and sitting on the side chatting.
Su Qin’an set the rule that everyone in the Nine Heavens Research Group could eat whatever they wanted.
However, if there was important work recently, they were not allowed to drink alcohol, eat heavy food, sleep without a blanket, sleep with a thick blanket in summer, sleep without a blanket in winter… in short, a lot of “don’ts,” just in case they got sick and couldn’t work.
So the two of them didn’t drink alcohol, but simply drank plain water, and slept after a while.
Until they heard Sun Ruilei shouting, “Was the Team Leader kidnapped? “, the two of them couldn’t help but laugh.
“What’s wrong with Old Sun, can he even get drunk while showering? ”
Li Weimin laughed: “From now on, among Su Team Leader’s many “don’ts”, I’m afraid we’ll have to add another one: “Don’t shower”.
Of course, the target is Sun Ruilei, it has nothing to do with others.
“He… was like that in college. I remember one night he went to shower, and after showering, he went out in shorts and flip-flops, and even asked a girl for her WeChat! ”
Zhang Xian couldn’t stop laughing when he mentioned Sun Ruilei’s glorious deeds in college: “The key is that the girl gave it to him, saying that she thought he was very individual and straightforward! ”
Li Weimin：……
No, compared to Sun Ruilei, who can get drunk while showering, what am I lacking?!
Why don’t I have a partner yet?!
