"I'm here... I was scared half to death by that ghostly shadow just now, so of course I'm here to catch the ghost!" Ji Weitian bent down, slipped under Qin Nanyu's arm as he blocked her, and quickly turned on all the lab lights before he could say anything.
Qin Nanyu turned to look at the woman who had slipped in under his armpit, staring at the back of her head with a slight frown, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
He hadn't forgotten how someone had clutched his lapel before, trembling in his arms.
Ji Weitian heard his words and turned back without a hint of guilt, looking serious, "I'm the project's liaison after all. With so many valuable instruments here, even if I am afraid of ghosts, I have to check it out."
Besides, how can a ghost be scarier than you... Ji Weitian muttered silently in her heart.
The laboratory was brightly lit.
Qin Nanyu didn't believe in any ghostly shadows. Instead, he suspected that someone might have broken into the lab tonight. Anxious to check the equipment inside the lab, he uncharacteristically didn't argue with Ji Weitian, leaving her at the entrance and walked towards the main control panel.
Ji Weitian didn't stay idle either, handling Qin Nanyu while quickly looking up to check the potential locations for surveillance cameras in the lab.
After checking all of them, ensuring there was no surveillance, she breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Her small eyes inadvertently glanced at the mysterious machine she had accidentally activated before, filled with curiosity. Her fingers itched to try cracking the password again, but thinking of Qin Nanyu's presence, Ji Weitian firmly restrained her restless hands.
Turning her head to look at the main control panel, she found Qin Nanyu had already opened a machine and seemed to be examining data.
The blue light from the screen cast over his handsome face, his focused gaze, and fingers constantly moving on the screen as if commanding an empire, exuding a powerful aura that made people hesitant to approach.
"Well, the equipment is all here. If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you..." Ji Weitian tried to make a getaway, but Qin Nanyu interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"Go inside, help me turn on that machine in the far corner," his tone allowed no refusal.
"..."
Although Ji Weitian was displeased with his commanding tone, she thought of how she had triggered the alarm first and might have to endure Qin Nanyu's control for a long time... She decided to endure temporary hardship for future peace!
She walked to the corner and helped him turn on the machine.
"Beep beep beep beep—"
As soon as she pressed the power button, a loading progress bar interface popped up on the screen quickly. Ji Weitian didn't even have time to see what flashed by before the screen switched to the coding page.
Lines of code swirling upwards vanished in a strange combination, familiar yet unfamiliar...
Ji Weitian stared at it for a dozen seconds, her expression changing slightly, just about to try her hand, when Qin Nanyu's cold voice sounded again, "Don't mess around. This is no joke."
Ji Weitian: "..."
She never joked about work. She was serious.
But facing Qin Nanyu's skeptical gaze, Ji Weitian puffed her cheeks, holding back her anger without saying anything.
She just couldn't communicate with this jinx!
Qin Nanyu didn't notice her expression, propping one hand on the table, scanning the data in front of him, then returning to the main control panel to continue his operations.
Completely engrossed in his work, Qin Nanyu solidly forgot about Ji Weitian.
