Chapter 406: Let Me Take You Out for Dinner

Usually, Rong Qi would leave the lab by sundown at the latest. However, today was an exception. Because of the new ingredients Lu Chengzhou had procured, she'd added two new elements to her formula, keeping her in the lab much later than usual.

Lu Chengzhou himself was engrossed in his observations, sitting motionless as he intently watched the reaction taking place in the test tube. A small blackboard beside him was filled with scribbled notes, outlining the progressive changes of the experiment.

Only after the reaction had passed its most intense phase did Rong Qi lift her slightly aching arm. "Let's call it a day for now. I'll continue after I've secured the Mystic Berry."

As she got up to change, Lu Chengzhou followed her out of the lab. "It's late. Let me drive you home."

"There's no need. Xu Yi is with me. You should get some rest too," said Rong Qi.
