Chapter 586: Chapter 585 I Can’t, But I Can Learn Chapter 586: Chapter 585 I Can’t, But I Can Learn Lu Mian certainly remembered, the first thing that came to her mind just now was this ‘son’ of a plant.
Mo Si had said its origin was very mysterious, and no one knew who had given it to Xiao Qimo.
Botanists couldn’t even determine its family or genus, let alone take it for further reRead the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
At first, without knowing better, she had been so rash; she wondered how much it had pained Director Qimo in his heart…
At that moment, Xiao Qimo hadn’t thought that much.
He reached out and gently touched the leaves.
He began to introduce it, “This plant is called Netherman, it’s not from this world.”
“NethermanaEUR|” Lu Mian frowned as she pondered over the name.
Xiao Qimo paused and then couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems that’s not the focus of your attention.”
Lu Mian exclaimed, “Ah,” she really hadn’t found the phrase ‘not from this world’ all that strange.
She was someone quite experienced.
Xiao Qimo didn’t mind her calm demeanor and continued, “Someone told me that from the Netherman, RE Factor can be extracted.
The hypothesis of the RE Factor isn’t unfounded.”
“Then how did you get this Netherman?” Lu Mian asked, somewhat puzzled.
“A fortuitous coincidence.”
Xiao Qimo explained with just these four words, not willing to elaborate.
After saying that, he took a deep look at Lu Mian, and seeing her expression unchanged, he skipped over the topic.
Lu Mian took it as a secret he couldn’t divulge, and didn’t think much of it.
“But as you can see, this Netherman isn’t growing very well.
Even if it’s taken to the lab now for extraction, it won’t reach the quality and quantity of the RE Factor.
If you’re willing, I can take you to a place.
That place isn’t local; we’ll need to travel for a while.”
Lu Mian knew Xiao Qimo wouldn’t do anything pointless.
Her uncle’s condition was urgent, and if she wanted to save his eyesight, she had to find the RE Factor within three months.
So, without a second thought, she nodded, “I’ll go with you!”
“You aren’t going to ask where it is?”
“I’d go even if it were a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, and I’m not afraid of walking through fire or climbing mountains of swords.”
Xiao Qimo saw her determination and resolved to clarify the RE Factor matter, “I’ll make the arrangements, we can leave this afternoon.”
“The sooner the better.”
“Don’t you want to call your uncle to check how he is?
He must be quite worried about you,” Xiao Qimo reminded her.
Lu Mian thought for a moment but ultimately shook her head, “No need.
That day at dinner, there was an opportunity for my uncle to explain the symptoms clearly to me, but he didn’t, obviously not wanting me to know.
Perhaps, when I come back with definitive hope, it will make him happier to tell him then.”
“Alright,” Xiao Qimo nodded, stepped out, and then turned back to add, “Mianmian, if things don’t go as smoothly as you expect and you can’t achieve the desired results, don’t be sad.”
“aEUR| Don’t worry, I’m not a child,” Lu Mian understood that such innovative research in the medical field could take years to succeed.
Each breakthrough was the result of predecessors’ heart and soul and years of hard work.
Moreover, it was the legendary RE Factor.
It wasn’t possible that she would get the most desired result as soon as she arrived.
She just felt that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn’t give up.
Lu Mian finally looked slowly at the Netherman on the windowsill under the sunlight.
The light passed through the slightly thick leaves, casting a crystalline green glow, which was beautiful, and she gently pursed her lips.
“Come on, you have to strive to grow.”
The leaves of the Netherman seemed to quiver slightly as if responding to her.
Lu Mian planned to go back to her room when Xiao Qimo suddenly pulled her arm from behind.
Xiao Qimo pursed his lips, “I’ve already taken you straight to the headquarters, so do you think you could…”
He was drowning in her tenderness and coquettishness, her cool aloofness, her defiant arrogance, her insouciance towards the world, but there were also occasional tenderness and affection that she showed only to him.
The thought that this coquettishness was reserved exclusively for him was addictive.
Lu Mian paused, not understanding what he was asking.
“You know, those words you said earlier with Cang Xue’s voice.
Could you, perhaps, say a few more?”
The cultured man was hinting explicitly; he didn’t believe Lu Mian could fail to understand.
If she continued to be so straightforward and direct, he might get angry.
“Oh?” Lu Mian elongated the sound, lowering her gaze and chuckling lightly, shaking her head, “I’m sorry, Director Qimo, I can’t do the others.”
Lu Mian, feeling somewhat embarrassed, tucked a stray hair behind her ear, “The thing is, those words I said, like ‘Please, can you?’ They were…
lines I used for voice acting before…”
Xiao Qimo was thunderstruck.
The words she had cooed at him were merely a vocal act and hadn’t come from her heart?!
“After finishing the voice over for the character, the feedback from the market was quite positive,” Lu Mian explained earnestly.
Does that not mean that many, many, many people have heard it?
The cultured man’s sorrow was like a river flowing in reverse, feeling that his brilliant self had been tricked.
This little rascal would one day be the death of him!
“Humph.” Xiao Qimo released Lu Mian’s arm, trying to repress his sorrow and comfort himself that at least she added other lines that were said directly to him, he should be content…
The little rascal didn’t know how to pamper him; he had to pamper himself…
Lu Mian quickly noticed the change in Xiao Qimo’s mood, which lately was like an electrocardiogram, fluctuating unpredictably.
She bit her lip lightly, watching the man’s taut facial features, “That…
I may not know how, but I can learn.”
Xiao Qimo’s gaze paused for a moment, and before he could react, a slender figure drifted in front of him.
The girl in front of him suddenly tiptoed, reaching up to hook his neck.
While he was dumbfounded, he felt a soft and tender pressure on the corner of his lips aEUR” the unique touch and warmth of her lips.
She had taken the initiative to kiss him!
