Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Drunk

Su Yunyao and Shen Haoze usually had little to say to each other outside of work, but today, she brought a bottle of alcohol to his dormitory.

Shen Haoze was shocked. What on earth was she up to? And even though it was their day off, it was broad daylight. A man and a woman staying together in a dormitory for too long would certainly lead to unpleasant talk.

His door was open, but he didn’t plan on letting Su Yunyao in.

Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor at the moment.

"Is something the matter?" Shen Haoze hurriedly asked.

At this point, Su Yunyao was desperate for a conversation with someone familiar, but after some thought, she realized there was no one else but Shen Haoze.

Although Shen Haoze didn’t seem to like her, she didn’t mind. They had played together since childhood, so Su Yunyao had never thought that Shen Haoze would truly turn his back on her.

After all, they still had their past camaraderie.

Su Yunyao glanced at Shen Haoze, who was on guard as if facing a great enemy, knowing he was reluctant to let her into the room.

She simply didn’t care anymore and, with a sudden push, she forced Shen Haoze into the room and followed suit. She swiftly closed the door behind them, executing the movements as smoothly as floating clouds and flowing water.

Shen Haoze was caught off guard, barely managing to stay on his feet from the unexpected shove.

By the time he realized what had happened, he was already in the room, and the door was closed very efficiently. It was even locked, which made Shen Haoze quite nervous, especially with Su Yunyao holding a bottle of high-proof Erguotou.

What was she doing?

Shen Haoze backed up towards the window, frowning, "Su Yunyao, what are you trying to do? Have you been drinking?"

She must be drunk and acting crazy. That would explain it.

Su Yunyao put the bottle on the dormitory table. Shen Haoze was at the same level as her, both having their own single dorms. Not large, just over twenty square meters, but since central heating was provided, there was no need for stoves anymore. With the addition of communal toilets, the conditions of these dorm buildings were quite good.

Shen Haoze was a clean person with a bit of a cleaning obsession. His room was tidy and spotless.

The color of the dorm curtains was very light, and the bedding matched the curtains. The table was adorned with tea sets, white porcelain, clean, without a spot of tea stain.

The floor was the same. Of course, Shen Haoze had to be a neat person, otherwise, she wouldn’t have played with him when they were kids. He was much like He Xiuyu, tidy and self-sufficient since childhood.

In fact, Su Yunyao felt very lucky. The people around her were excellent, and what’s more, she was lucky enough to live another life. Among billions, perhaps not a single person in the entire world could say that.

She was self-satisfied with this thought, eager to try, excited about the prospect, and had done many things because of it. However, up to now, she had only improved a little bit compared to her last life. Everything else was a mess. In her last life, no matter what, she had a good reputation at the base. This life? Not so much; it was mixed at best.

If she weren’t thick-skinned, she would have left by now. Sometimes she couldn’t even understand herself. Why stay here? Why not leave for a place where no one knew her past and start over? With her experience from a previous life, any research institution would welcome her warmly. Why bother?

But she just couldn’t accept it, really couldn’t accept it at all. Perhaps during busy times she might forget, but as soon as she had a moment to herself, her mind was filled with nothing but He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu.

And what’s strange was that she found herself thinking the most about Qiao Qingyu.

It was as if she were possessed.

She wondered what the story behind Qiao Qingyu really was. Who was she, exactly?

An alien, perhaps?

Otherwise, how could she be so capable?

She didn’t even know what Qiao Qingyu had said to Anna, or it might have just been a meal she cooked, making a few trays of dumplings that moved Anna.

Anna obediently left the base and even sold their family’s researched scientific achievements to China.

You should know that these scientific achievements were desperately needed by China. China was also researching them, but if they developed them together, they would save so much trouble. The manpower and funds saved could be used for more significant activities.

Even Uncle Qi had not managed this feat, yet Qiao Qingyu had pulled it off.

And Anna didn’t even seem particularly close to Qiao Qingyu.

But the deed was done.

So she felt very frustrated inside, always feeling a suffocating tightness that wouldn’t go up or down, and even a burning sensation in her chest. She even wondered whether she had developed a heart condition, or perhaps had prematurely entered menopause. Regardless, such reactions were abnormal and made her quite miserable. Everyone has these feelings, feeling annoyed and irritated, but the worst part was the discomfort that no medicine could apparently alleviate.

But no one cared about her current state.

Although the base could not directly enjoy such scientific achievements, it sent out a signal that Qiao Qingyu’s Agricultural Base would grow larger and larger. Her career would not be limited to Xiaxi Commune or Xichuan; she would use this as a foundation to expand all around.

Su Yunyao was really puzzled about how Qiao Qingyu had achieved this level in just two or three years. She couldn’t ask about it, so today she didn’t want to ask anything in particular. She just wanted to talk to Shen Haoze and share what was on her mind. She felt that her electronic information research seemed to drag on indefinitely, with many things not as simple as she had assumed. Some things were too profound and beyond her current ability to interpret.

The only way was to take it step by step. For any country, to fully utilize these outcomes, it would take several years at the least.

And it had been less than a year since she took over the work.

So it truly was something that couldn’t be rushed.

Now Su Yunyao also didn’t know whether she should stay or go, or perhaps keep persevering here. Otherwise, she could apply for a transfer, and then she would have nothing to do with Tenghai Research Base, never see He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu again, and stop thinking about these annoying matters.

But she still felt some reluctance, and with a touch of mockery, she pointed to the bottle and said to Shen Haoze, "Why are you so timid? I don’t remember you being this scared, like a little girl. Didn’t you see? I haven’t yet opened this bottle. How could I be drunk?"

She was claiming not to be drunk, but something about her emotions was off.

Shen Haoze quickly poured her some water. The white porcelain jar hadn’t been used before, he had even rinsed it with hot water. Then he took out his finest tea leaves, pinched a small amount into a white porcelain cup, rinsed it with water from a thermos, and finally filled more than half of the white porcelain cup with water.
