Two hours quickly passed.
During these two hours, Tang Li had been controlling the brain-computer interface experimental machine, performing various actions on the playground with exceptional fluidity.
In previous brain-computer interface experiments, the subjects would already be exhausted by this point.
However, Tang Li now seemed as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of fatigue.
Only her stomach was growling.
Tang Li naturally had a large appetite and, at home, needed to replenish her food at regular intervals.
But today, she hadn't eaten since going to the exchange.
Now that it was mealtime, she was naturally hungry.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Tang. The cafeteria food should be arriving soon. You can order whatever dishes you like then; the meal tickets are on me."
Currently, the outside world was filled with delta particles, and one would need a protective suit to leave this building.
It was troublesome and time-consuming to have research personnel wear protective suits to eat in the cafeteria.
The Jiangcheng Research Institute had therefore hired a group of people to deliver prepared meals to various buildings after they were made in the cafeteria, thus saving the researchers time.
Hearing Song Pinxuan's words, even Tang Li, who generally paid little attention to the outside world, couldn't help but touch her stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Not long after Song Pinxuan finished speaking, the laboratory door was pushed open.
"The meal cart is here, everyone hurry downstairs to eat!"
Xu Xinyue entered carrying a meal tray and said to everyone in the laboratory.
"Xinyue, bringing food to Team Leader Song again?"
Others in the laboratory teased her as they put down their work and headed downstairs.
They were no longer unfamiliar with Xu Xinyue.
She was not only the granddaughter of Xu Zhenhua, the director of the S University Research Institute, but she also came to deliver food to Song Pinxuan every day.
Especially after the discovery of delta particles, she was assigned to work in the cafeteria and joined the meal delivery team daily.
She didn't serve others, push the meal cart, or clean dishes.
She did only one thing: deliver food to Song Pinxuan.
Even though Song Pinxuan had clearly refused her many times, she persisted.
It was obvious to everyone that she was pursuing Song Pinxuan.
However, Song Pinxuan's attitude towards her was consistently indifferent; he was solely focused on scientific research.
Despite this, Xu Xinyue remained enthusiastic.
Back in S City, Song Pinxuan was the youngest researcher in the institute and was being groomed as a successor by Director Xu Zhenhua.
Furthermore, he was handsome, gentle, and thoughtful in his actions.
It was then that Xu Xinyue developed a crush on Song Pinxuan.
After arriving in Jiangcheng, Song Pinxuan successively developed genetically modified rice pests, brain-computer interfaces, and mechanical exoskeletons, achieving fruitful results and possessing a bright future.
Xu Xinyue's pursuit of Song Pinxuan became even more overt.
Although Song Pinxuan's attitude towards her was cold, Xu Xinyue hadn't seen him treat anyone else kindly, nor did he have many women around him.
Even though he was devoted to scientific research, he would eventually need to get married.
Xu Xinyue believed that as long as she stayed by his side and prevented other women from getting close to him, she would eventually marry him.
But today...
Bang!
When Xu Xinyue saw Tang Li in the glass-enclosed room, the meal tray in her hand slipped, falling to the ground.
Tang Li and Song Pinxuan heard the sound and looked over.
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to deliver food?"
Song Pinxuan frowned, glanced at the food on the ground, and said in a deep voice.
Food was so precious now, with so many people outside unable to eat, yet she had spilled precious food onto the floor.
Xu Xinyue, however, seemed not to have heard him. Pointing at Tang Li, she questioned Song Pinxuan, "Why is she here?"
Seeing her like this, Song Pinxuan was again speechless, his brow furrowed. He stared coldly at her without speaking.
Tang Li raised an eyebrow at this.
She said to Song Pinxuan, "Your girlfriend seems to have misunderstood."
"She is not my girlfriend; she is just our director's granddaughter."
Song Pinxuan explained to Tang Li before coldly addressing Xu Xinyue:
"We are conducting an important experiment. Please leave immediately! Also, clean up the floor."
"I will report what happened today truthfully to Director Xu. I hope there won't be a next time."
