Why aren't they out yet?
Gu Nianzhi's phone was about to go dead. She retrieved her charging cable from her bag and went into the lounge to look for a plug. As she was looking, she sent He Zhichu a text: "Professor He, do you still have anything for me, please?"
He Zhichu was sitting in Professor Douglas's laboratory, observing her doing experiments and recording data and checking his emails. He saw Gu Nianzhi's text the moment she sent it. After contemplating for a while, he replied: "I still need another four hours. Would you like to return to school first, then return, or would you like to just wait here?"
Gu Nianzhi stared at her phone and couldn't believe what she had just seen.
Four more hours?! Then what about dinner?
