Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 583: The 582 virus has spread to Kyoto_1.
Chapter 583: The 582 virus has spread to Kyoto_1.
By the time Xu Boyan had returned from dealing with matters, Lu Qingyi’s morning sickness had subsided.
She was focused on analyzing data, constantly comparing and adjusting, formulating a drug.
Devoting her whole attention to it, she was very serious.
Her head was low, her long eyelashes drooping, her hands moving quickly in a steady pattern. The seriousness in her demeanor made her even more beautiful.
Xu Boyan tiptoed over to Lu Qingyi. So engrossed was she in her work that she did not notice his approach.
When someone saw Xu Boyan and wanted to greet him, he put his index finger to his lips, motioning for them to be silent.
"Xiaojin, this component’s analysis is incorrect, you handle it."
Without raising her head, Lu Qingyi placed a report behind her and remarked coldly, very seriously.
"Okay."
Xiaojin hurried over to collect the materials, looking at Xu Boyan, words caught in her throat.
Xu Boyan shook his head.
Xiaojin took the documents and left, marveling internally at Lu Qingyi’s concentration. Someone had been standing behind her for so long, and she wasn’t aware of it.
"When... when did you get here?"
Lu Qingyi turned her head to find Xu Boyan trying to hold back a laugh, startling her.
She didn’t register his presence at all. Was it because she was too focused on the experiment, or had her vigilance decreased due to the pregnancy?
Previously, no matter how concentrated she was on an experiment, she could vaguely sense it when someone approached her.
"It’s been a while, you are incredibly beautiful when you’re focused."
A smile tugged at the corner of Xu Boyan’s mouth as he looked adoringly at her. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Lu Qingyi: "..."
Xu Boyan had always been good at paying compliments.
"Go and sit over there, I’m busy."
Lu Qingyi glanced at Xu Boyan and murmured lightly.
Xu Boyan wisely took a seat beside her and watched Lu Qingyi. The more he watched, the prettier he found her.
——
Eventually, the virus reached Kyoto as well. The streets of Kyoto were deserted, many of the pedestrians hurrying around full of fear of being infected.
Lu Qingyi stayed in her lab, oblivious to what was going on outside. The development of the drug needed a bit more time.
People in Hadrick started getting infected as well. Lun Boyan tread anxiously, extremely worried.
The infected individuals had been quarantined, but who knew whether they had spread the virus to other people as well?
Things were really looking bad.
"Jiahao, we haven’t left the dorm in four days."
Lu Nanfeng stood in front of Lu Jiahao’s desk, his eyes yearning towards the world outside the window.
Four days ago, Lu Jiahao made them stockpile food and ordered them not to leave the dorm, for reasons unknown.
It was truly baffling.
"Exactly, what are you trying to do?"
Cheng Hao popped his head up from his bed and questioned Lu Jiahao.
He’d been lying in bed for four days, only leaving to eat, bathe, and use the toilet. He had spent all the time in bed, gaming or watching TV.
He wanted to go outside and play basketball. He had become lethargic from the lack of activity.
"Holy shit, this news is explosive." Du Feng looked at his cell phone, bellowed loudly, then turned to Lu Jiahao, "Do you have the power of foresight?"
Lu Nanfeng and Cheng Hao craned their necks to have a look. Du Feng’s phone had news about the virus spreading. Hadrick had a number of cases already.
"No."
Lu Jiahao put down his pen and slowly responded.
This once cheerful and outgoing young man had matured quite a bit after going through those events.
Lu Jiahao, who used to love sports and basketball, had gradually become a committed learner, planning to study abroad and thus needing to excel in foreign languages.
It wasn’t the right time to go abroad yet.
"My sister told me. I didn’t ask for the details."
Lu Jiahao said nonchalantly.
Indeed, Lu Qingyi had messaged him, telling him not to go outside and to stay in the dorm as much as possible.
As for why, Lu Jiahao didn’t ask because he trusted Lu Qingyi. He knew that she wouldn’t harm him.
"Damn, your sister is quite the silent achiever."
"Exactly, I never would’ve guessed that the renowned Professor Lu of Hadrick is your sister."
"I even had dinner with the esteemed Professor Lu."
"It’s not that big of a deal if you don’t mention it, but when you do, I can’t help but feel excited."
"..."
When Lu Qingyi’s name came up, Lu Nanfeng and the others got excited and started to chat nonstop.
Lu Jiahao felt like he was getting a headache. He looked helplessly at the three people before him, not saying a word.
Ever since it became known that Lu Qingyi was the renowned Professor Lu of Hadrick, Lu Nanfeng, Cheng Hao, and Du Feng constantly talked about her.
Of course, they were also envious of him.
His sister was very accomplished, but she was his sister, not him.
He was proud of her but never thought he could reap benefits from her achievements.
"Look, Principal Lun has issued an announcement."
Hadrick had its own forum where Lun Boyan had posted an announcement.
"He’s telling us to minimize unnecessary outings."
Cheng Hao stated after glancing at it.
"Sigh, we really don’t know what’s happening outside."
"Right now, I feel like our dorm is the safest in all of Hadrick."
"Of course, we haven’t gone out in four days."
Lu Nanfeng and the others stated, feeling a sudden sense of relief.
"Can I focus on my studies now?"
Lu Jiahao felt a headache coming on. He gave a small knock on his desk and asked lightly.
"Your sister is so accomplished; if you stay in the country, it’ll be easier for you."
Lu Nanfeng and the others knew Lu Jiahao was planning to go abroad. They were baffled by his decision.
They didn’t know about the developments in Lu Jiahao’s personal life. They only knew that his mother had passed away recently. The details were unknown to them.
"It’s my life. I choose how to live it. My sister paved her own way. I have no reason to use her help."
Lu Jiahao looked up, uttering those words with resolve.
Lu Jiahao knew that if he asked, Lu Qingyi would certainly help him out. Even if he didn’t ask, she would still lend him a hand.
But he felt a sense of self-mockery. After what his mother had done, he had no face to ask Lu Qingyi to continue aiding him.
"He doesn’t have the face."
For a moment, Lu Nanfeng, Cheng Hao, and Du Feng were at a loss for words.
Lu Jiahao’s phone rang. He picked it up to see a call from Lu Qingyi.
"It’s my sister."
Lu Jiahao gestured for them to keep silent, putting his phone on the table and activating the speaker.
"You haven’t been out in the past few days, have you?"
Lu Qingyi’s clear, cold voice could be heard through the phone.
She only found out about the virus spreading to Kyoto after finishing her experiment and immediately called Lu Jiahao.
