Chapter 140: 116, the only Genetic Integrator among the newborns

Lin Zichen had stayed at the research institute for a long time, only leaving at 10 p.m.

When he returned to the dormitory, Shen Qinghan was fiddling around in the kitchen.

She wasn’t cooking, just arranging the condiments.

Seeing Lin Zichen at the kitchen’s entrance, Shen Qinghan looked at him and said, “Xiao Chen, you stayed at Tianren Pavilion for quite a while huh, I was actually hoping to cook dinner with you tonight.”

“No worries, if we can’t have dinner, we can make a midnight snack.”

“I don’t want to, eating midnight snacks will make you fat.”

“With such a large amount of exercise, it won’t make you fat.”

“Seems like it.” Shen Qinghan said with a laugh, and then playfully asked, “What do you want for your midnight snack? I’ll make it for you now.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zichen said, “Then let’s have noodles. It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve had your noodles; I want to try them.”

“Okay, I’ll make noodles for you.”

Shen Qinghan said and took two pieces of noodle dough, starting to make noodles for Lin Zichen to eat.

About ten minutes later.

The noodles were ready.

It was made simply, with a fried egg, a few pieces of meat, and some greens.

After finishing the noodles.

And washing the dishes.

Shen Qinghan, her arm looped through Lin Zichen’s, coyly said, “Xiao Chen, how about we take a bath together later?”

Lin Zichen: “Mhm, I’ll scrub your back.”

Shen Qinghan pursed her cherry lips, a faint blush on her cheeks as she said in a soft voice, “Just scrubbing the back is so greasy, how about... scrubbing some other places too?”

Lin Zichen: “You tell me where to scrub, and I’ll scrub.”

Shen Qinghan smiled delightedly and said, “Then as a reward, you let me scrub anywhere, and I’ll help you scrub there too.”

The next day, at 5:30 a.m.

“Why live at the institute?”

Lin Zichen was puzzled; the institute looked like a storeroom, and staying here couldn’t be as comfortable as being at home.

Song Yuyan explained, “To save money. Living in the institute, the school pays for utilities, during the summer with AC, I can save several hundred a month.”

Just to save those few hundred bucks?

Lin Zichen found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, with a status like Song Yuyan’s, an annual salary of a million wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Yet she was even frugal with a few hundred bucks of utility fees.

That seemed excessively thrifty.

Wondering, Lin Zichen asked, “Sister Yan, when do the dean and those three seniors usually come to the institute?”

“Those three usually won’t come to the institute until around 10 in the morning, and as for the dean, the timing isn’t very fixed, since he often needs to go out and mingle with his old flames.”

“Those?”

Lin Zichen felt like he had stumbled upon some incredible information and asked curiously, “How many old flames does the dean have?”

“Oh, so many. I know of more than ten.”

“The dean is truly impressive!”

Lin Zichen said admiringly.

Song Yuyan bitter-sweetly smiled and said, “There’s no helping it. The funding the school provides is too little; it’s not enough to support the daily needs of the institute, so the dean has to go out and use his charm to attract investments.”

Hearing this, Lin Zichen instantly felt Liu Chuanwu’s image grow in stature.

Ten minutes later.

Song Yuyan finished yoga and took Lin Zichen into her private research lab.

She went to a cupboard, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Lin Zichen, saying, “This is the research results and directions of Tianren Pavilion over the years. Have a look when you’re free, just to familiarize yourself a bit with the content.”

Lin Zichen received the documents, as thick as a dictionary.

“There’s a lot of material, just skim through to get familiar, no need to look too closely. Otherwise, you might not finish by the end of the semester.”

After saying this, Song Yuyan went to her desk and sat down, beginning her research for the day.
