He followed Pei Jiao and walked beside her. “l heard that you couldn’t speak when Wei Yu picked you up.”

Pei Jiao said, “My vocal cords were damaged. I’m fine now.”

Ji Qingzhou asked, “When did you recover?”

Pei Jiao said, “Recently.”

Ji Qingzhou said, “l heard that you couldn’t contact your family because you couldn’t speak previously. Have you contacted your family now?”

Pei Jiao suddenly stopped and turned to look at the man following her.

haven’t seen you in the base for almost a month, but you’re very familiar with me. Are you paying attention to me?”

“l didn’t deliberately pay attention,” Ji Qingzhou explained. “l heard Wen Qiong mention you. I can tell that Wen Qiong likes you very much because she always mentions you in the laboratory.”

It’s Wen Qiong…

That was nothing.

Pei Jiao did not say anything else. She went to the massage chair and chose a seat to sit down. Then, she swiped Wei Yu’s card, closed her eyes, and began the massage. The waiter pushed the food Pei Jiao had ordered over in the dining car.

Ji Qingzhou said to the waiter, “She’s not familiar with this place. Watch out for her needs at all times and try to let her rest here happily.”

The waiter nodded. “Okay, Dr. Jit”

Ji Qingzhou said, “Mm.”

After the waiter left, Pei Jiao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou received Pei Jiao’s gaze and smiled slightly. “Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ji Qingzhou, and I’m Wei Yu t s colleague.”

“Dr. Ji,” Pei Jiao shouted.

Ji Qingzhou raised an eyebrow. “What do you want to ask?”

Pei Jiao was originally lying down, but now she sat up. She pointed at the massage chair beside her. “Dr. Ji, sit.”

Just now, Pei Jiao did not want to bother with Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou could tell, so he did not try to disturb her again and only instructed the service staff. But at this moment, Ji Qingzhou could clearly feel that her goodwill was because of his identity.

Ji Qingzhou sat down beside her. “If it’s a question that can be answered, I’ll tell you everything I know. I’m sorry if it involves the base.”

Pei Jiao felt a lump in her throat.

Ji Qingzhou saw her hesitation. “What’s wrong?”

Pei Jiao probed, “l want to ask, what exactly is the thing missing from the base?”

“The topic has crossed the line.” The smile on Ji Qingzhou’s face faded.

Pei Jiao sighed. “Then let me ask you another question. When can I leave here?”

“You want to leave here?” Ji Qingzhou asked.

Pei Jiao nodded.

Ji Qingzhou looked a little surprised. “Actually, you’ve long been cleared of suspicion and can leave. It’s just that you need to recover your vocal cords and apply for it yourself. After getting approval and completing the review process, you can leave.” After a pause, Ji Qingzhou looked at her. “You didn’t apply for it after your vocal cords recovered?”

Pei Jiao shook her head. She didn’t even know.

Ji Qingzhou asked, “Did you choose to stay here because of Wei Yu?” “How can I stay here because of him?” Pei Jiao’s lips twitched.

“Really?” Ji Qingzhou was surprised. “Wen Qiong said that you lived in the dormitory that Wei Yu lived in before. Wei Yu is a clean freak. I thought you were… dating now?”

“Pfft!” Pei Jiao snorted. “With him? We don’t even talk about dogs.”

Ji Qingzhou: ‘

Pei Jiao was originally in a good mood and had a good appetite, but now, she had no appetite. She didn’t stay long before leaving. Before leaving, Ji Qingzhou stopped her. “Are you still coming tomorrow?”

Pei Jiao said, “We’ll see.”

She went back to the accommodation building, dug out the ball of yarn from the drawer, and knitted a scarf according to the tutorial video she’d seen in her memory. It didn’t go well at first. But it was much better after she got used to it.

If someone was beside her at this moment, they would definitely not understand why she did not enjoy the moment when she was sitting in the massage chair eating fruits and ran back to weave a scarf.

She was naturally petty. Even after interacting with him for so long, she still did not want to let Wei Yu off. It wasn’t humiliating to break off the engagement, but his way of doing so made her feel even more humiliated.

Therefore, she had to take revenge.

Now, she knew from Ji Qingzhou that as long as she applied and completed the process, she could leave this place. Before she left, she had to finish her act.

Pei Jiao knitted for a long time. When she was tired, she stood up and stretched her limbs. After twilight, she went to wait outside Wei Yu’s door. It would be even colder at night. Her breath would be white fog. The tip of her nose was red from the cold, as if she had lost consciousness.

She didn’t know how long she waited, but as she waited, she fell asleep sitting in front of his door.

Wei Yu came back very late. He knew that Pei Jiao had gone to look for him today and had used his card to order a lot of food. She had not eaten dinner when she returned. He asked the canteen to specially cook a plate of wontons for her. He was about to raise his hand to knock when he saw the figure sitting at his door from the corner of his eye.

After seeing who it was, Wei Yu e s eyes darkened and he walked over.

“Fei Yi,” he called out.

But the sleeping person didn’t react. Wei Yu squatted down and placed the wonton aside. He reached out and touched her face. It was as cold as ice and her entire body was about to freeze.

Wei Yu t s expression darkened. He picked Pei Jiao up as quietly as possible and returned to her room.

There was an unknitted scarf on the sofa. Wei Yu only glanced at it briefly and placed Pei Jiao on the bed first. He wrapped the blanket around her and gently rubbed her body, hands, and feet. He did this personally and meticulously.

His movements seemed familiar. But in fact, Wei Yu had never done this personally before. She was the only exception. After he finished rubbing his hands together, he went back to rubbing her feet.

At this moment, Pei Jiao woke up and frowned. “Ouch… It hurts…”

Wei Yu paused and straightened his upper body to look at her. “Where does it hurt?”

Pei Jiao looked at him blankly and remained silent.

Wei Yu asked again, “Where does it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Pei Jiao sat up and looked at him. “Wei Yu, when did you come back? Why am I in the room? I remember that I was at your…”

“The door,” Wei Yu said.

Pei Jiao nodded. “Yes, I was waiting for you at your door. I might have accidentally fallen asleep. Fortunately, I finally saw you.”

“It’s so cold. Why are you waiting for me at my door? What’s so important that you can’t wait until tomorrow?” Wei Yu’s voice was mixed with anger.

Pei Jiao lowered her head aggrievedly. “I can’t see you at night, let alone in the morning. I couldn’t see you when I went to look for you today. I had no choice but to wait for you at your door.”

Wei Yu frowned. An equally strange emotion rose from the bottom of his heart. It was very subtle and indescribable.. He just asked her, “You really want to see me?”
