Chapter 33 : C33
“Professor Yu is still doing the experiment, but we have notified him of your return.”
“No hurry.” Gu Chi glanced at Professor Lin, who was supported by Lin Xun, and motioned to the man, “This is Professor Lin from Experimental Base No. 36. You should have received news about the situation at the base. Please settle him down.”
“Naturally, Professor Lin has also made great contributions to our research, and he will definitely not be sloppy,” the man said seriously.
When he noticed Chi Ying beside Gu Chi, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn’t say anything.
After Professor Lin and Zhang Bin made all the arrangements, Gu Chi raised his foot and was about to leave with his team members.
“Captain Gu…” The man next to him spoke again.
Gu Chi tilted his head.
“Commander Ye came back two days ago.”
“…” Gu Chi raised an eyebrow, “So?”
“Cough, don’t get me wrong. I just want to say that Captain Ye brought a girl back yesterday. Her ability seemed very special.”
Chi Ying followed behind and took two steps up.
Captain Ye? It was the male lead…
Gu Chi had no disturbance on his face, he responded lightly, and went straight up the stairs.
The man’s face suddenly became a little annoyed.
He had long heard that the relationship between those two people was average, so why should he talk too much?
However, the girl Ye Wuhan brought back had such a special ability that he couldn’t help but mention.
…
The other team members had their own residences at the base, and immediately went back to their rooms to take a shower and tidy up as soon as they reached. Even if there was Gu Chi’s ice ability, which could guarantee basic cleanliness, it was difficult to be refreshed and clean when he was outside for a long time.
Chi Ying didn’t have a place to live, so she followed Gu Chi all the way.
“You stay in this room, I’ll get the key for you,” Gu Chi turned his head and said to Chi Ying who was following behind him.
Chi Ying looked at the iron plate “Gu Chi” on the door, and was silent for a moment.
Gu Chi continued, “Don’t worry, this place is assigned to me by the headquarters, and it has been empty and useless.”
“Oh~”
As if he was afraid that Chi Ying would be uncomfortable, he remained silent for a few seconds, and then explained, “I live next door, and that room is enough for my daily use. I haven’t come in here since the furniture was first placed.”
“I originally wanted to apply to the headquarters for a new room for you, but you are not counted as my team member, and you will probably leave in a few days and won’t stay here for a long time. In addition, it will take some time for the application result to come out…”
Seeing him explain so much, Chi Ying felt a little embarrassed, “It’s okay, I’m just afraid of taking your place.”
“The greenhouse shed that Yunfei mentioned is just outside the room.”
Hearing that, Chi Ying looked around.
The four sides were full of tiles, or there were various high-tech laboratories along the way… Where could he build a greenhouse?
“There are two doors to your room. The greenhouse is just outside the other door.”
“Oh!”
Chi Ying was stunned. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help being a little excited. That room was really interesting.
Gu Chi stared at her blushing face from excitement for two seconds, then lowered his gaze.
“Um.”
Then, neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
Chi Ying stood and waited for a long while, but did not wait for Gu Chi to speak again. The excitement was almost diluted by the atmosphere.
She hesitated for a while, and finally couldn’t help asking, “Well, you haven’t given me the key yet…”
Gu Chi: “…”

After finding out the key and giving it to Chi Ying, Gu Chi went back to his room.
On closing the door, he took off his coat and lay down on the bed for a few minutes.
He felt a rare comfort.
He put his arms under his head, and was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Maybe it was because he hadn’t had a good rest recently that he always felt that his reaction was much slower than usual. The little girl was waiting for the key, but he stood beside her like a log for a long time.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of knocking on the door.
Gu Chi let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and opened the door.
Outside the door, a very old man leaned on a cane and looked at him with a smile on his face.
“Professor Yu, why are you here?” Gu Chi smiled and said, “You could have called me.”
“Hmph, I just finished the experiment, and I heard the students say that you are back, so I came.”
As he spoke, Professor Yu walked into the room slowly.
“I heard people say that you brought back a girl?”
Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, and then said, “I met her on the road. I plan to find a safe area and drop her there.”
“So that’s the case, I thought…” Professor Yu sighed, “Have you seen the girl Ye Wuhan brought back?”
Gu Chi frowned. That was the second time he had heard that topic since he came back.
He shook his head, “No.”
“I didn’t find out the specific situation, but I just heard from my students that the girl’s ability is very special.”
