“I’m here to… I was scared to death. I’m just here to help you catch the ghost!” Ji Weitian ducked inside the room, under Qin Nanyu’s arm, then quickly turned on all the lights in the lab.
Qin Nanyu looked at the woman who just snuck in under his armpit, stared at her and frowned. “Weren’t you scared of the ghost?”
He didn’t forget how terrified she looked while hiding in his arms earlier.
Ji Weitian heard him and didn’t act suspiciously at all. “I’m the program’s contact person. With all of this expensive equipment here, I need to be here to check even if there was a ghost.”
Besides, a ghost wouldn’t be as scary as you… Ji Weitian muttered inside her head.
The lab was bright.
Qin Nanyu didn’t think there was a ghost; he thought that someone had snuck into the lab tonight. He was in a hurry to check the equipment. In a rare move, he didn’t argue with her, instead, he left her at the door and marched toward the central command station.
Ji Weitian didn’t stand around either. She talked to Qin Nanyu while looking for any surveillance equipment in the lab.
After looking all over the lab and confirming the lack of surveillance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the machine she accidentally turned on earlier. She was so curious and her fingers itched to crack the password, but with Qin Nanyu here, she resisted.
When she looked toward the central command station, she saw that Qin Nanyu had turned on a machine, seemingly to inspect data.
The blue light from the monitor shone on his handsome face. His focused expression, combined with his moving fingers on the keyboard made him resemble a powerful emperor at the helm of his empire.
“Um, so, all the equipment is here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave you alone…” Ji Weitian wanted to leave, but before she could finish talking, Qin Nanyu interrupted her.
“Go inside and open the last machine in the corner.” His tone didn’t leave room for disagreement.
“…”
Ji Weitian didn’t like his commanding tone, but realizing she did trigger the alarm, and how she would have to work under Qin Nanyu for a while, she decided to bide her time.
She went toward the corner and turned on the machine.
“Di di di di–”
As soon as she pressed the button, the screen showed a progress bar, which moved quickly, Before she saw what it was, the screen switched to displaying code.
The code rolled up the screen, combining in an odd way, familiar yet strange…
Ji Weitian stared at the screen for 10 seconds, her expression changing. Before she could try anything on the machine, Qin Nanyu spoke again, “Don’t touch anything, this is not a joke.”
Ji Weitian: “…”
She never joked about work. She was serious.
Faced with Qin Nanyu’s doubting look, she puffed up her cheeks and stayed silent.
She can’t talk to this jinx!
Qin Nanyu didn’t notice her expression. He leaned on the table with one hand, scanned the data, then returned to work on the central command station.
He was so focused on work he had forgotten all about Ji Weitian.
