The two engaged in a tender moment at the deserted stairwell before holding hands and entering the laboratory.
Several researchers cooking instant noodles in the laboratory were taken aback at the sight of Xi Jiu.
This man... why does he look so familiar?
"Professor Ruan, this is..."
"My boyfriend, Xi Jiu." The young girl grinned as she hugged Xi Jiu's arm, "He's here to bring us New Year's Eve dinner~"
As soon as she finished speaking, a researcher's chopsticks clattered to the floor with a 'clang'.
"Xi... Master Xi..." He stammered, pointing at Xi Jiu, "Master Xi?!"
Master Xi?!
The researchers in the laboratory were all big shots, and naturally, they had some contact with the upper circles of the Imperial Capital.
They might not have met Master Xi in person, but they had heard of him.
Facing their astonished gazes, Xi Jiu calmly nodded slightly: "Please take care of Ruan Qi."
With that sentence from the man, he effectively confirmed his identity.
