Chapter 259: Playing Like This, He Feels Relieved_2
"You, you... figured it out?"
Wen Nan didn't expect that just by revealing the other's identity, the person would be so scared. He nodded and said, "It's nothing really. We, normal players, won't look at you with tinted glasses."
The comforting words didn't ease Yu Shujun's expression much. With eyes lowered, after pondering for a while, Yu Shujun asked, "When did you... discover it?"
Wen Nan thought for a moment and said, "I had a vague suspicion before, but it was this time's Sword Holder test and the things you said that confirmed it for me."
Yu Shujun recalled what just happened in Test Space No.1, the faceless woman, the corpse, the dagger embedded with the Transfer Fragment...
All those elements were extracted from Yu Shujun's past memories. Given the intelligence of those around and their keen sense for the game, it wasn't surprising they'd guess it.
With a light sigh, Yu Shujun said, "Could you... keep it a secret for me?"
Wen Nan was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry."
After a moment of silence, Yu Shujun suddenly thought of something and asked, "In the instance, female characters are allowed, but people like me aren't?"
Wen Nan felt the question across was a bit obscure and hard to understand, not quite seeing how the two groups were comparable. But after thinking for a bit, he still tried to answer according to his understanding: "We belong to completely different groups. Even if due to the help of items and skins, there were one or two accidental instances, in the long run, it's ultimately impossible for us."
Yu Shujun looked at Wen Nan quietly for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes, "I understand."
The atmosphere turned somewhat silent for a while, but fortunately, Guan Ailin walked in just in time, looked at Wen Nan, and then at the person standing next to him, and asked with a smile, "Minmin, it turns out you are... Xiao Jun?"
Yu Shujun nodded, "Yeah."
Guan Ailin's smile deepened, "No wonder I always felt you were so familiar. Nine, you figured it out early but didn't tell me?"
Wen Nan shrugged and casually said, "I also just figured it out."
Yu Shujun coldly glanced at the person beside, and mercilessly exposed the lie, "Just figured it out? When you were in Taoyuan, you handed such an important person as Erin directly to a stranger character?" ThiscontentwasfirstreleasedonMV_LEMPYR.
Wen Nan was at a loss for words for a moment, just about to say something when a vibration came from his pocket.
He opened it and found it was from an unknown number—
[Ye Jiu, I'm Wu Qing. Last time you mentioned wanting to review some biochemistry concepts with me one-on-one. My classes for this afternoon are over, and I'm free all evening. Is it convenient for you to come over now?]
Wen Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Meeting so soon?
Wu Qing had identity information. Besides, based on the brief encounter in the Life Sciences Institute lab, she appeared to be a crucial role, and such an invitation couldn't be refused by Wen Nan. Missing it might lead to losing important clues.
However, Wen Nan glanced at the system countdown in his mind. He was still in the rest period before the second main quest began.
It seemed that in this instance, due to its unique refresh point, unlike other instances, there wasn't a strict requirement for players to stay within the refresh point during the rest period.
With this thought, Wen Nan looked at Guan Ailin, "I need to go to the Life Sciences Institute to meet someone."
Guan Ailin was taken aback, "Now?"
Wen Nan replied, "Yes."
Guan Ailin nodded, subconsciously pinching her thigh, thought of her refresh point identity, and said softly, "I'll go with you."
Wen Nan stood up, took a couple of steps toward the door, turned around, and wanted to say something to Yu Shujun before leaving, only to find the other person also standing up, silently following him to the door.
Wen Nan was momentarily stunned, "You don't need to settle?"
Yu Shujun responded blandly, "No need for concern."
Wen Nan didn't ask further, and went straight to the Life Sciences Institute.
Familiar with the surroundings, he made his way to the laboratory door with the [Wang Yajun] nameplate and knocked gently.
Wu Qing was already waiting inside the laboratory. Originally sitting at the experiment table reading literature, she turned around upon hearing the knock, saw Wen Nan at once, and got up to welcome him with a smile, "You've come, Ye?"
Hearing the word "Ye", a figure at the office door inside suddenly paused and craned his neck to look over at Wen Nan.
Wen Nan felt the gaze and looked over, seeing Hu Jiayao holding onto the doorknob, standing at Wang Yajun's office door.
Their eyes met, and Hu Jiayao immediately pointed inside the office and mouthed, "I'm going to settle things, President."
Then he pointed to his pocket holding his phone, "Talk later?"
Wen Nan nodded at him.
Wu Qing observed their exchange and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang had something come up and called Senior Brother Hu for a chat. It might take some time. If you want to find him, you can wait until after we're done with the lesson to come back here."
Wen Nan responded, glanced at Hu Jiayao's back, and couldn't help but think, Wang Yajun was also an unclear character. Would Hu Jiayao settling accounts in front of him cause any problem? Also, given how Wu Qing had protected Wang Yajun before, why was she now comfortable letting the two of them meet alone?
While pondering, Wu Qing led Wen Nan to a small meeting room nearby.
After closing the meeting room door, Wu Qing pointed to a chair beside her, signaling Wen Nan to sit down.
Wen Nan sat down nearby. Wu Qing opened a textbook, pushed it to Wen Nan, and pulled a chair close, sitting beside him.
The two were so close that their shoulders and outer thighs would occasionally bump into each other during movements, making Wen Nan slightly distracted. But before he could think carefully, the person opposite raised her hand and pointed to two diagrams in the textbook,
"This is the tricarboxylic acid cycle diagram, and over here is the citric acid cycle diagram. Your basics are too weak. If we start from scratch, it'll definitely be too late. Copy these two diagrams, along with my highlighted notes, into your notebook. After you go back, learn it by understanding or rote memorization, whatever it takes. As long as you memorize these two diagrams, passing the final exam shouldn't be a problem."
Wen Nan stared at the two diagrams that looked like coiling dragons in front of him, feeling shocked.
Wu Qing inviting him over, could it really be to study?
As if she hadn't noticed Wen Nan's shocked gaze, Wu Qing added, "Didn't bring paper and pen? I have some prepared here. You can use them first, tear out the two pages after copying, and take them with you."
With that, she took the paper and pen from a drawer beside her, pushed the paper in front of Wen Nan, and put the pen in his hand.
Seeing Wen Nan not moving, Wu Qing added, "You can start copying now. If you have any questions in between, feel free to ask me."
Wen Nan clenched the pen, biting his teeth, and began to write. Just as he drew an arrow, a strange warmth came from the outside of his thigh.
With his head lowered, glancing sideways, he noticed a leg clad in black silk, unknowingly pressing tightly against his leg.
The day before, during class, Wu Qing was properly dressed in a knee-length A-line long skirt. But now, tutoring Wen Nan, she had switched to a form-fitting short skirt paired with black silk?
The black silk was so thin that it subtly revealed the delicate thigh skin beneath, making one wonder if a slight pull could easily rip it apart.
Wen Nan's lips slowly curved upwards. Lifting his head, he sat up straight and took a deep breath—
Playing like this on the other side set his mind at ease.
Pushing all other thoughts aside, Wen Nan looked straight ahead, behaving like a true gentleman, and started diligently copying the notes.
The person beside him saw that Wen Nan was genuinely immersed in the study materials, frowned subtly, leaned her entire body towards Wen Nan, rested one hand on his arm, touching his biceps, and the other hand was pressing gently on his gracilis, adductors longus, and adductors magnus.
With her chin almost resting on Wen Nan's shoulder, Wu Qing asked softly, "Don't just bury your head in the notes. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss them with me anytime."
Wen Nan turned to Wu Qing, giving an innocently naive smile, "No matter what I ask, Mr. Wu will answer?"
"Of course."
