Gu Zhihan didn’t answer her; he just took out a large glass container that looked like a fish tank. He started by spreading a layer of fine sand at the bottom, then poured in the water glass, and continued to add metallic salts and sodium silicate. As the two reacted, crystals of salt began to sprout blue-white, flesh-colored, purplish-red, white, yellow, and green buds and tree-like "flowers and plants."
It was like a small garden growing in the glass, brimming with life and vividly realistic.
"So beautiful!!" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but excitedly clap her hands.
The classmates nearby who came to do the experiment also couldn’t help but inhale sharply, their faces full of amazement.
"Tch, what’s so beautiful about this, Mengmeng, just wait, I’ll make you something even better looking than both of theirs!" Lu Zichen couldn’t help but scoff and rolled up his sleeves, intending to perform a chemical reaction for Mengmeng.
He was going to make "meteor showers."
The method came from... Baidu.
However, while doing it, he added the wrong chemical reagent.
Gu Zhihan originally didn’t want to bother with him, but out of moral obligation, he couldn’t help but warn him, "Stop, don’t add that, you added the wrong one."
"It is indeed wrong." Jiang Yibai also nodded in agreement, warning him, "If you do it this way, you won’t make meteor showers, it will only explode."
Lu Zichen thought they were just envious and jealous, and completely ignored them, "It’s impossible I added the wrong one, don’t deceive me..."
After saying this, he ignored the warnings and poured the reagent from the test tube into the container burning on the alcohol lamp.
"Lu Zichen, have you gone mad, you really can’t pour that!" Jiang Yibai was closest to him and hurried to stop him, but it was still a step too late.
"Everyone, get down!"
The explosion and Jiang Yibai’s warning came simultaneously.
"It really exploded!" Luo Mengmeng gasped as she watched the scene unfold and the next second, she was shielded beneath Gu Zhihan.
The young man was tall and sturdy, like a grown man, and covered her completely.
It was unclear how much time had passed before the explosion stopped and the chemistry lab was filled with choking thick smoke.
"Cough cough cough!" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but cough, pushing on Gu Zhihan who was on top of her, "It seems to be over, Gu Zhihan, you can let me go now."
"Wait a second." Gu Zhihan turned his head to make sure it was no longer exploding, before getting up and pulling the girl from beneath him to her feet.
After Luo Mengmeng stood up, she saw the chemistry lab a complete mess, with white smoke billowing and the windows shattered from the explosion.
As for Lu Zichen, his face was blackened and his hair stood on end, appearing as if he had just returned from an African battlefield.
"Are you okay?" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Zichen seemed still in shock from the event and could only mechanically shake his head, "No, I’m not..."
He had Jiang Yibai to thank for that. If it weren’t for the shove during the explosion, whether or not he would be okay was really uncertain.
Fortunately, not only was Lu Zichen unhurt, but other people were also safe.
Even so, the school still issued a notice criticizing Lu Zichen, recording a major demerit in his file and banning him from participating in the upcoming chemistry competition.
After all, the school was worried he might blow up the exam venue as well.
When Tong Mo heard about this incident, she laughed so hard she couldn’t stand straight, "I knew this dork could screw up an experiment, well now you nearly blew yourself up... Ah hahaha!"
