A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Xu Xingchen couldn't control the illness.

He wanted to reduce contact, but Qin Ge, perhaps sensing something, insisted on increasing his contact with Xu Xingchen, ostensibly to take things a step further.

Xu Xingchen again...

His willpower wasn't particularly strong.

He finds it hard to have any principles when facing Qin Ge.

He had long noticed that Qin Ge's possessiveness was unusual.

It was his despicable exaggeration of Qin Ge's possessiveness. Qin Ge has a mental illness, but his mental illness is more serious than Qin Ge's.

Seeing that Qin Ge only had eyes for him and was jealous over trivial matters, he felt a strange sense of pleasure.

He and Li Le were right; Qin Ge's current behavior was the result of his gradual "indulgence."

He's a born bad seed, and he needs this kind of suffocating love to nourish him.

However, Qin Ge's possessiveness is causing Xu Xingchen some trouble right now.

His condition cannot deteriorate any further.

If this continues, he really won't be able to control it.

Xu Xingchen applied for a new project under his mentor's name and prepared to go into seclusion for a while to give himself some breathing room.

He had already earned enough credits, and now he spends most of his time at the school working with his advisor.

After asking my advisor for leave, I went straight into the lab.

She didn't forget to send a message to Qin Ge during that time.

After sending the message, I immediately turned off my phone, locked it in a cabinet, and went into the lab.

Mentor Lin Shu: "Are you really determined to stay until it's all over? This time it's not like before, where it can be over in a few hours or a day or two."

She was naturally happy that her students were working so hard, but Xu Xingchen's family was really a bit of a nuisance.

At the most annoying time, I called her almost thirty times in one day.

If it were anyone else, Lin Shu would have blocked them long ago.

Qin Ge... invested a lot of money in their lab, so Lin Shu had no choice but to put up with it.

Xu Xingchen: "Of course, I am very interested in this direction. If we can solve it, it will be very helpful for my future research."

Knowing what Lin Shu wanted to say, Xu Xingchen spoke directly, "If Qin Ge comes, tell him that our project is very important and relates to my future research direction."

About two days later, he ran out of patience and told him that I had prepared a gift for him at home.

Xu Xingchen had calculated his own speed; he should be able to resolve the issue in four days, or at most five days.

He had never been separated from Qin Ge for so long.

He had no choice but to do it.

If he can control the progression of his illness in the next few days, he and Qin Ge can still be good friends like before.

If you can't control it...

Xu Xingchen didn't want to think about that possibility.

"Xing, don't you dare hurt your director. Your director is getting old and can't withstand the barrage of attention from your partner."

Xu Xingchen's eyes darted around a little. "He can see things, and that will last for two or three days."

Lin Shu was clearly very curious about the gift Xu Xingchen mentioned.

She didn't ask.

She touched her chin and rolled her eyes.

Qin Ge had always acted as if Xu Xingchen was his possession, and she couldn't control the romantic entanglements between the young couple.

She didn't know what had happened between them, but if Qin Ge could suffer a little setback, that would be good.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Xing, I've carried too much for you all, but what can I do? I'm your mentor. For my beloved students, I naturally have to step up. Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Lin Shu tried to pat Xu Xingchen's shoulder, but Xu Xingchen dodged.

"Okay, thank you, Director. I'm going in now."

As his condition worsened, Xu Xingchen began to avoid contact with other people.

Lin Shu didn't notice this detail; she was already prepared for Qin Ge to come knocking on her door, and she was full of fighting spirit.

Qin Ge arrived even faster than she had anticipated.

He arrived shortly after Xu Xingchen went inside.

Lin Shu was revising her thesis when she was so startled that she almost spilled her coffee on her computer.

"Looking for stars? He's in the research lab. This research is particularly important; it's related to his future development."

Lin Shu rattled off a bunch of explanations, though... she didn't know why she was saying so much nonsense.

She touched her nose guiltily.

The imagined rage did not materialize.

Qin Ge simply looked at her calmly, which made Lin Shu feel increasingly guilty.

This eerie atmosphere was even more suffocating than the dozens of phone calls he had received every day demanding that he hand over Xu Xingchen.

Lin Shu tried to add a few more words.

Qin Ge simply nodded. "I understand. How long will it take this time?"

The calm made Lin Shu feel uneasy, or perhaps it was the calm before the storm.

Lin Shu said, "We can't really say for sure about experiments. If things go smoothly, it might take two or three days, but if not, it could take ten days or half a month."

"So many days, and you can't touch your phone at all?"

of course not.

How could that be? Only experiments with a very high level of secrecy would have such requirements. School experiments don't have such strict requirements.

Otherwise, if they were to go missing for several days at a time, that would be terrible.

You can't look at the screen while doing experiments, but people still need to eat and sleep, and no one forces you to do so at that time.

Actually, people often bring their phones into the lab, and as long as it doesn't affect the experiments, Lin Shu usually turns a blind eye.

Xingxing is famous because he is strict with himself and he is so engrossed in his experiments that he has no time to look around.

For the sake of her beloved disciple, Lin Shu closed her eyes and took all the blame upon herself.

"Yes, you can't use your phone, and you can't bring your phone into the lab. Our project is highly confidential."

My dear Xing, I have sacrificed so much for you.

She thought Qin Ge would go crazy again after hearing this news, but he simply accepted it calmly.

"I see."

They didn't ask anything further.

And that's how I left.

The smooth sailing made Lin Shu a little uneasy.

Has Qin Ge changed his ways, or has something really happened between him and Xingxing?

She skillfully used her alternate account to open the school forum and saw the news that Xu Xingchen and the pink-haired girl had left together.

No matter how you look at it, that little pink-haired girl isn't Xu Xingchen's type.

So what's wrong with these two? Is there a real problem? Or did they have a fight? Has Xingxing finally stood up for herself this time and decided not to indulge Qin Ge anymore?

Lin Shu scratched her head, still confused, her desire to watch the drama unfold reaching its peak.

Because of this incident, Lin Shu didn't get a good night's sleep for several nights in a row.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ge didn't come for three consecutive days, which made things even stranger.

She kept wondering what Qin Ge would do.

My heart was hanging in the air, neither rising nor falling.

She was so angry that she almost wanted to rush up to Qin Ge and ask him what he wanted.
