Chapter 557: 556. Skilled and natural

Only when she understood a component well would Tang Shu choose to incorporate it into the medicine, so as to optimize the effectiveness.

Slender fingers grasped the doorknob and opened it, and she was met with Jing Yu’s smiling face, his black figure casting a faint glow under the warm sunshine.

Tang Shu was startled. "Why did you come over personally? Isn’t the company busy?"

She had thought that only the staff would come.

"Not busy."

Jing Yu didn’t elaborate further and stepped aside to allow others to pass.

"Let’s go, they are fast and will be able to set up the lab by midday."

The two, along with a few professionals, entered and headed straight for the basement lab, where they soon got busy.

These people were well-coordinated, diligently arranging everything according to the design plans, which meant there was nothing for Tang Shu and Jing Yu to do.

Having no role in the process, the two stood at the door without leaving, watching the bustling activity inside.

"Have you eaten lunch?"

"Not yet, but Tiantian is already on it."

"Then I’m going to have to freeload a meal, as I just came from Cloudscape Pharma and didn’t have time to inform Aunt Lin."

Jing Yu indicated that there was no meal for him at the Jing family.

Tang Shu was taken aback and gave him a surprised look.

How could Aunt Lin, who was so easygoing, possibly begrudge you a meal?

Before Tang Shu could respond, Jing Yu had already started striding towards the upstairs.

"Let’s go, let’s eat first."

Tang Shu stared at his suit for a long while; the high-quality black fabric had gathered a hint of dust from being close to the experimental equipment, which instead of looking unkempt, added a touch of liveliness to him.

She followed, feeling helpless.

Considering you rushed over here despite being at work...

Yang Tiantian was quick.

When it came to her area of expertise, she was very precise in preparing meals.

By the time five dishes and a soup were served, Xu Qianyun, who had spent the morning getting thrown around in the training room by Su Xiaochi, had also appeared.

"Ah—another day of brutal training."

No sooner had the murmur left his lips than he straightened his back and stood up tall upon seeing the additional person in the living room.

"Ahem, Mr... Mr. Jing."

Suppressing the urge to call him President Jing, Xu Qianyun timely switched to a different form of address.

Jing Yu looked up at him, appraising him for a moment before nodding his head.

"You seem to have bulked up since the last time."

"How could I not? After all this time being tossed around, even a weakling would develop some muscle."

Su Xiaochi emerged from the restroom, hands still slightly wet.

Xu Qianyun huffed discontentedly, wanting to retort but swallowed his words because his idol was standing right across from him.

Yang Tiantian set out the bowls and chopsticks and called everyone to the table.

The seating was the same as last time, with Tang Shu and Jing Yu sitting next to each other, facing Xu Qianyun and Su Xiaochi across the table; only Yang Tiantian was extra, positioned at a side seat.

The table showcased five dishes and a soup, a blend of meat and vegetables, their fragrance enhanced by skilled cooking.

Xu Qianyun, at the age of growth, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and his stomach rumbled embarrassingly after not eating for several hours.

Tang Shu and Su Xiaochi chuckled softly, making the person in question even more uneasy.

Jing Yu also smiled and asked, "Sophomore or junior year?"

"Sophomore."

Sophomore? That meant he’d be taking the college entrance exam next year.

Jing Yu didn’t continue the conversation, lest it cause indigestion during the meal.

He picked up the soup bowl in front of Tang Shu, served her a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, and then helped himself to one as well.

His movements were practiced and natural.
