Chapter 569: She is lying.

That’s outrageous.

Shen Yan chuckled naughtily as she opened the comment section, numerous familiar IDs were asking the blogger:

"Excuse me, have you broken off your relationship with that friend of yours?"

"Excuse me, have you broken off your relationship with that friend of yours?"

...

A whole string of copy-and-paste below.

"Aren’t those the admins from our boss’s fan group? They’ve actually come to join in the fun?"

Xiao Li glanced over and immediately burst into laughter.

Indeed!

These familiar IDs, the unique teasing tone, who else could it be if not the admins!

***

Medical University.

After finishing four specialty course exams, Tang Shu walked straight towards her two roommates.

"Take my backpack back to the dorm for me, I’ve got something else to do."

"Wait, are you staying on campus today?"

How novel!

There wasn’t evening self-study today, and classes had ended early because of the exams, with the sun still high in the sky—plenty of time for Tang Shu to get home.

Cheng Ranran and Ye Xiaohui looked at her in surprise, but their hands were busy taking her small backpack for her.

"Um... it’s not very convenient for me to go out today."

Tang Shu felt that climbing the school’s wall once was enough, after all, it was out of necessity.

Doing it again would be a bit too much.

Not very convenient?

What could be so inconvenient?

The trio walked out of the classroom, and as this teaching building was the closest to the school gate, they almost immediately saw the situation there.

"What’s all this about? Has something big happened at our school?"

And why are there cameras, and so many people!

Tang Shu’s mouth twitched as she witnessed for the first time the endurance of the entertainment reporters in a stakeout.

"They... are probably all here to interview me."

Ye Xiaohui and Cheng Ranran, recalling the news they saw that morning, had a sudden realization.

So that was the kind of ’not very convenient’ she meant.

The latter even patted her shoulder consolingly, "You’ve got it tough too—"

Tang Shu: "???"

Suddenly she felt something was off about that remark.

Ye Xiaohui immediately laughed and, pulling Cheng Ranran, walked towards the dormitory building behind them.

"You go do what you need to, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Tang Shu watched the two of them leave, crossing the very spacious Medicinal Garden, heading towards the laboratory.

Professor Yu and his team had entered the second phase of incorporating Snow Soul Grass into their medication research, which had recently been focused on experiments for incorporating it into medical prescriptions.

In this area, Tang Shu, who possessed effective medicinal prescriptions for Snow Soul Grass, had become key.

Standing at the entrance to the large laboratory, Tang Shu looked up at the azure sky, the sun gradually veering towards the west.

It was now five in the afternoon, and as April came, the weather was getting warmer, with the grass on the surrounding lawns also growing abundantly.

Everything was thriving.

Tang Shu paused for a moment at the entrance filled with electronic equipment, took out her cellphone to refresh the electronic access control, and with a "ding" sound, the alloy door swung open in response.

It wasn’t the time for school or work to be dismissed, so there were very few people moving around in the lab hall. Most of them wore glasses with high prescriptions on their nose bridges, with calm and indifferent eyes.

This made Tang Shu, who was dressed too casually and had a delicate face, somewhat out of place, causing the rate of turned heads to skyrocket.

However, Tang Shu seemed accustomed to such attention, as she walked straight through the hall toward the elevator, pressing the floor number upon entering.

"Was that just now... our school’s celebrity?"

"Yes, the one named Tang Shu? It seems to be this name."

"She indeed looks more refined than the average person, no wonder she can make a living in the entertainment industry."

"What is she doing here at the research lab?"

"Not too sure, maybe she’s here to look for someone. Let’s not talk about this now, I think there’s something off with this data..."

The discussion was but a brief moment, as being research personnel, they quickly refocused on their work, once again engrossed in a debate over a pile of data.

Meanwhile, with the sound of the elevator again, Tang Shu had already arrived in front of the lab door.

***

The research on Snow Soul Grass had been ongoing for two months since the beginning of the year.

The process had gone from initial component analysis to the current incorporation into medicine. Even with the foundational research done by Professor Yu earlier, it was no small project.

Moreover, this medicinal plant was significantly different from other herbs, with a very domineering medicinal property, its entire body was toxic, which further increased the difficulty of the research.

At this moment, inside the lab, near the window at the southern side, stood a slender figure. The woman wore the white coat provided by the lab and held paper and pen, recording something.

Through the transparent glass, one could vaguely see a plant in a special pot in front of the woman, with sunlight shining through the window on the plant, causing a halo of light around each leaf.

No one would expect that this ordinary-looking grass was one of the most toxic substances in the world.

Meng Yunyun wrote down every single change observed for the sixth time meticulously in her notebook. After putting down the final period, she carefully moved the pot forward slightly.

As she turned around, she noticed a stranger had entered the lab door.

Black trousers paired with a light brown jacket that appeared slightly professional, added a touch of efficiency to the visitor.

Meng Yunyun paused on the visitor’s delicate features, then locked eyes with a pair of calm, black eyes, involuntarily furrowing her brows.

"Who are you?"

"Tang Shu."

Tang Shu?

No wonder she looked familiar. She had seen photos on the campus forum, thanks to her friend’s constant chatter—the school’s celebrity student who was known for shirking her studies.

She instantly recalled what Lecturer Chen and her roommate had said.

Meng Yunyun’s already furrowed brows tightened further, a hint of coolness flashing in her eyes.

"This is a laboratory. Everything here is very important, and not just anyone can come in. Do you need something, student Tang Shu?"

How on earth did she get through the main door? Could it be that some student helped her swipe their card?

If she found out who it was, she would definitely report it to the dean. With the importance of the research area, everyone should be more than eager to protect it, yet someone dared to bring unrelated people inside.

When Tang Shu had introduced herself just now, her chin had slightly retracted in a polite greeting. Afterwards, she glanced subtly around the lab, noticing a few differences.

The arrangement had changed since she had last been here, with many new experimental devices added, and even a Chinese medicine dispensary established.

At the sound, she looked back at the female student opposite her.

"Senior Meng, I’m here..."

"You know me?"

Tang Shu hesitated for a moment, her introduction having been interrupted, then she answered the question, "It’s our first meeting."

"Then how do you know my last name is Meng?"

Claiming they don’t know each other?

Meng Yunyun was also a notable figure at Medical University, with not many who didn’t know her, especially since both their photos had once been subjected to evaluation and gossip by the students on the campus forum.
