Zhao Qingfeng saw a group of people teasing Zhang Yuan and joked, "Stop giving him a hard time. Even if you rivaled Helen in beauty, he wouldn't bat an eyelid until he has real results or has formally decided to give up."
"Helen?"
"...the daughter of Zeus, the chief god of Greece; her unmatched beauty ultimately triggered the Trojan War."
"I can't compare to that kind of beauty, so it seems I won't get to have this spicy hotpot." Anna giggled. She noticed that Zhang Yuan was still absent-minded, focusing the majority of his attention somewhere unknown.
Being fellow researchers in the laboratory, such behavior was somewhat understandable, and the desire to tease each other momentarily intensified.
"Hey! I'm talking to you?"
"What?"
"But I'm a few years older than you, and have a boyfriend. Do you think you could take him?"
"Ah! What?"
"Just like a coyote, it needs a duel, you know?"
"Oh."
Suddenly, a "boom" resonated in Zhang Yuan's mind.
