"Dr. Shen, what's wrong?"
His voice still had a heavy metallic tone, yet it revealed clear concern.
"Nothing, Uncle Li, maybe I stood for too long this afternoon."
"Then let's head to the hospital quickly, Miss is waiting for you."
Shen Jingqi opened his phone.
He saw a message just sent by Li Baiyu.
[Li Baiyu]: I've ordered dinner.
[Shen Jingqi]: I'm already in Uncle Li's car. Will arrive in about 40 minutes.
"Uncle Li, I checked the navigation. It's rush hour now. Can we make it in 40 minutes? My senior has already ordered dinner. I don't want her to wait too long for me."
"Miss has been busy all day, she hasn't even had lunch."
"What? How can she do that?"
"There are so many things Miss needs to do. Many matters await her decision, she hardly has a moment to rest."
"Why doesn't my senior find an assistant or a secretary? How can she handle so much on her own?"
"Miss, she doesn't want others to see her in any other way."
Uncle Li's face was reflected in the glass.
"You've already seen another side of Miss. Do you think an average person could understand? If not, it's better to keep it hidden."
"Miss does need someone who can help share the load."
"Dr. Shen, wear your seatbelt, I'll drive a bit faster."
Shen Jingqi tightened the seatbelt on him.
Although he was sitting in the back seat, not the front passenger seat, he obediently buckled up.
"Uncle Li, I'm all buckled up."
Uncle Li stared ahead, pressing his right hand on a button.
Shen Jingqi felt himself, along with the car, slowly rising off the ground.
The car's body was very stable; Shen Jingqi felt the relative motion with the surroundings.
The high billboard was level with the car body.
Looking down on both sides, there were vehicles and information strips densely packed on the ground.
"20 meters in the air, don't worry, it's very stable."
Uncle Li's voice was full of magnetism.
The speed of flying in the air was significantly faster than on the ground.
Shen Jingqi quickly saw the building of Shen University Third Hospital.
Reaching a side entrance of a freeway temporarily without vehicles, the car slowly descended.
At this moment, only 5 minutes had passed.
Navigation showed there were 2 minutes left to go.
Shen Jingqi patted his chest, so fast, this car is so magical!
"How is it, getting used to it?"
Uncle Li leaned against the door and stopped.
"Adapted. Uncle Li, your driving skills are so steady."
Shen Jingqi gave Uncle Li a thumbs up.
Uncle Li just smiled simply.
"I'll go find my senior now!"
Shen Jingqi expressed his thanks.
After patting himself down, Shen Jingqi got on the elevator.
Standing at the VVIP's door, he saw the information strip in the room, approximately located by the window.
Shen Jingqi entered the room and saw Li Baiyu indeed standing by the window, looking outside.
"Wasn't it supposed to be 40 minutes? It's only been 10 minutes."
Li Baiyu turned around, a bit surprised.
"It was Uncle Li rushing! Did you know? He actually drove the car to 20 meters in the air and rushed me over."
"You're not some kind of treasure, yet they rushed you over!"
Li Baiyu tilted her head, scrutinizing Shen Jingqi. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
"Senior, I heard you didn't even have lunch while busy with work. You better eat something now!"
Shen Jingqi had already eaten an omelette rice at the Shen University restaurant, so he wasn't very hungry.
He hadn't expected Li Baiyu hadn't eaten anything until now.
Shen Jingqi opened the box on the table.
It contained peony roast duck, sweet and sour ribs, and Qianlong Cabbage.
There was also a box of dumplings.
"Today is the Winter Solstice."
Li Baiyu fixed her gaze on Shen Jingqi.
"On the Winter Solstice, you eat dumplings."
Shen Jingqi nodded, arranging the condiments for the roast duck.
"Happy Winter Solstice!"
Shen Jingqi placed a dumpling in Li Baiyu's bowl.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, prepared a roast duck roll, and handed it to Li Baiyu.
Li Baiyu, after a busy day, suddenly felt ravenous by evening.
The signature peony roast duck from the restaurant was a feast for the senses, leaving a lingering taste.
After having some food, Shen Jingqi began to ponder.
Li Baiyu seemed unsurprised by Uncle Li's driving speed.
"Uncle Li is really amazing, and your car is incredible too!"
Shen Jingqi, biting into a corn dumpling, observed Li Baiyu's reaction.
"This car is custom-made, with some special features."
Li Baiyu said casually.
"Being able to fly in the air is already super impressive! No other car in the world can do that!"
Shen Jingqi's mouth was almost forming an O shape.
"In its structural design, it incorporates some principles of biology and ergonomics. It can currently fly between 20 to 50 meters in the air."
"However, Uncle Li rarely drives like that. For bringing you over, he made an exception to fly. If you want to thank someone, thank Uncle Li."
Li Baiyu glanced at Shen Jingqi.
"I will definitely thank Uncle Li properly for giving me such a marvelous experience."
"Oh, I visited Shen University's biology building today."
Shen Jingqi noted that Li Baiyu was keenly listening.
"I met one of the proctors of Cong Nanxue back in the day, Xia Kang. He mentioned that when he saw Cong Nanxue, she had no distinct facial features, no moles or anything like that."
"Later, he mentioned a senior biology student who had a mental breakdown. He asked me to take a look. The student claimed that in a locked office on the eighth floor of the biology building, he saw a girl. This girl talked with him about a lot of biological knowledge and then suddenly vanished. I met that student, and he described the girl's appearance."
"Phoenix-like eyes, with a red mole between her eyebrows."
Li Baiyu lifted her head.
"Senior, the person this senior biology student saw must be Cong Nanxue."
"Then how do you explain who Xia Kang saw?"
Li Baiyu asked slowly.
"The person Xia Kang saw was just an image, appearing as a visual on a screen or probably a projection."
Li Baiyu's expression froze briefly, and there was a hint of appreciation and acknowledgment in her gaze at Shen Jingqi.
"I agree with your point of view."
Li Baiyu said with a solemn tone.
"Cong Nanxue actually showed up in the biology building."
"That room belongs to a professor from Shen University who resigned twenty years ago, named Li Yuanshin."
"And what drove that student insane was not merely seeing the girl but claiming to have made a mental connection with Li Yuanshin."
Li Baiyu chuckled lightly.
"You are not just smart. Yes, my father's name is Li Yuanshin. His office, indeed, is on the eighth floor of Shen University's biology building. Since his resignation, his office has been sealed."
