He somewhat reluctantly handed back the Green Crystal Grass to Su Yunling, "Here."
Su Yunling raised her hand to receive the Green Crystal Grass.
"The mental methods they are practicing, are they their own, or did you provide them?" Gu Zhiqi lifted her gaze, looking at Su Yunling as she asked.
Su Yunling: "I provided them."
"Would you mind letting me see the mental methods?"
She still suspected that the reason these people were dissipating their Vital Energy was because there was an issue with the Ancient Martial Heart Method they were practicing.
Su Yunling did not hesitate to nod, holding the Green Crystal Grass in one hand, and took out her cellphone with the other. She found the mental method file stored on her phone and sent it to Gu Zhiqi.
Then, Gu Zhiqi opened the file, slightly lowering her gaze to start reading.
When Gu Yuluo and Wei Jingyu walked out of the eastern door of the laboratory, they saw four people sitting side by side at the entrance of the lab steps.
Tang Shuan, dressed in a white lab coat, was fiddling with the watch on his wrist, occasionally glancing at Gu Zhiqi.
Shen Tong held onto Gu Zhiqi’s coat, staring unblinkingly at her.
Gu Zhiqi held a cellphone in her hands, her fingers would occasionally slide across the screen. She was explaining something to Su Yunling, with a stylus in her hand, occasionally writing and drawing on the phone.
Su Yunling sat beside Gu Zhiqi, watching attentively as Gu Zhiqi wrote and drew. Whenever Gu Zhiqi spoke, Su Yunling listened very earnestly.
The scene was so harmonious that it gave Gu Yuluo the illusion that the two were a perfect match.
Just as she thought to call out to Gu Zhiqi, someone beat her to it, though the name they called wasn’t Gu Zhiqi’s.
The cry was almost an exclamation.
Hearing this voice, among the four people sitting on the steps, three slowly turned their heads to look.
Only the called Shen Tong, holding onto Gu Zhiqi’s clothes, seemed not to hear Wei Jingyu’s voice and just stared at Gu Zhiqi eagerly.
Wei Jingyu, watching Shen Tong’s behavior, was stunned for a moment, then tried hard to suppress his excitement and walked step by step towards Shen Tong, cautiously speaking, "Shen... Shen Tong."
His view blocked, Shen Tong slightly furrowed his brow, slightly lifting his gaze to glance at Wei Jingyu, with full strangeness in his eyes, timidly said, "You’re blocking my light, could you move aside, please?"
Facing Shen Tong’s gaze, Wei Jingyu’s face drastically changed. Hearing Shen Tong’s words, his complexion suddenly turned pale, "Shen... Tongtong, I, I am Da Yu, your Da Yu. Don’t you remember me?"
As Wei Jingyu spoke, he reached out to grab Shen Tong’s hand.
Shen Tong quickly pulled his hands behind his back and even leaned back a bit, "Who are you? I don’t know you!"
After speaking, Shen Tong abruptly stood up, then ran to hide behind Gu Zhiqi, looking at Wei Jingyu with a lost and timid expression.
Gu Zhiqi slightly turned her gaze to look at the hand that had grabbed her shoulder, speaking indifferently, "Grab the clothes in your arms."
At those words, Shen Tong blinked, obediently and cleverly said "Oh," then he hid behind Gu Zhiqi, hugging the clothes in his arms.
Seeing this, Wei Jingyu’s face turned ashen. His hand, which was hanging by his side, tightened and relaxed, and then tightened again.
"Tong... Shen Tong, she is the gene experiment’s maternal subject, right?" Wei Jingyu asked this while looking at Gu Zhiqi.
His eyes were filled with anxiety, even holding onto a sliver of hope.
"Yes." Gu Zhiqi replied lazily with a single word, then turned her head, and said to Su Yunling, "Let’s go; I’ll send you the file later.
Since Gu Yuluo and Wei Jingyu have come out, it’s time to leave."
Su Yunling originally wanted Gu Zhiqi to stay a while longer and leave with him, but considering it was getting late, he simply nodded lightly and smiled, "Hmm, go back and rest early. Children need to sleep more; otherwise, they won’t grow tall."
