Ji Anran was exhausted, simply laying on the sofa, not moving at all, just like a salted fish.
Geng Yan looked at this group of people flapping about in front of him with a complicated mood.
"Did you guys come find me for something? From what I remember, I haven’t done anything that would be detrimental for the base."
Each one of these people was wearing a protective isolation suit. And if he hasn't guessed incorrectly, this attire was used specifically to insulate against electric currents.
"*cough cough* The entire base has been in a big uproar, have the two of you not received any news of it at all?"
Geng Yan raised an eyebrow. "I haven’t gone out today, I was busy at home in the morning, then after lunch, I started training with Anran up until right now. What's happening outside?"
"A rumor has been spreading throughout the base that Ji Anran has turned into a zombie. And your neighbors in the floors above and below even suspected that you have been infected as well, such that the entire building is soon about to be cleared out from them all running away."
Geng Yan’s expression sank. "Whose prank is this, this is too vile!"
The faces of the law enforcement team and those powerhouses who came as support were each more colorful than the other. Woe the fact that they had all been on such tenterhooks with anxiety, yet the result was that it was all just a farce.
If they ever find out who exactly pulled this fiasco, they’ll definitely break the arms and legs of that b★st★rd!
"This time, for the situation to have fermented so quickly, there must be someone pulling the strings! We‘ll head back now to report, we will definitely dig out the people from behind the scenes and give you an explanation of this."
Ji Anran blinked his innocent big eyes. "I obviously haven’t done anything to anyone, why would someone want to harm me like this? Could it be that one of the enemies I made from before had deliberately set up such a scheme?"
"That’s highly possible. We will aim our investigation at your enemies first, we’ll do our best to give you an explanation as soon as possible." The captain of the law enforcement team finished saying this and immediately slipped out.
The look of which was as if there was an evil ghost chasing him from behind. But in fact, it was just because he felt as if he had spoiled and prevented some people from having their ‘good time’, and so was too embarrassed, wanting to just run away.
Although everyone in the base descended into mass anxiety because of this ‘zombie storm’, with the imminent zombie tide, those that needed to be busy were still busy.
Once the fixed time of the day came, the newly minted ability users would once again gather to go kill zombies to train.
As for the sit-in, given that the base had started to act, the sit-in had also concluded.
As for Chen Xiaohui, since he needed to go to work, he could only give up on his plan of going to the new community for ability users to watch the excitement, instead opting to obediently head back to the Research Institute.
"Dean, do you think that Ji Anran really turned into a zombie?"
Feng Yu gave the test tube in his hand a light swirl. "How could that be possible? I had gone over to see them the day they came back. Ji Anran's complexion couldn’t have been better. He hadn’t been bitten by a zombie at all, so how could he suddenly become one?"
"Dean, is what you said true? You like Wei Yanhua, and Ji Anran is the other’s good friend. Don't you go lie to even us, colleagues, for Wei Yanhua, okay?" Chen Xiaohui walked over.
So what if he wasn't bitten by a zombie? After drinking down that serum you sent over, it’d be a h★ll of a surprise if he’s still okay!
"I thought you all knew of my character already... Or is it that you guys have started to have a problem with me from some unknown time and just want to take this opportunity to slander me?"
Feng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, his entire person started to seem very intimidating.
"I only said it casually. Isn’t it just because I can see that you simply like Wei Yanhua too much?" Chen Xiaohui dryly forced out a few laughs.
Feng Yu gave the glasses on the bridge of his nose a push. "Whether it’s a joke or malice, I can still differentiate. To even manage to put on a grand play of imperial palace struggles while doing experiments, you are also a capable person. It's getting late, don’t just keep focusing your minds on gossip, hurry up and work. If today's distillment doesn’t get finished, you guys don’t have to worry about getting off work."
As soon as Feng Yu's voice fell, wailing erupted throughout the lab.
The work of the research institute was just this exciting. Whenever they’re needed to catch up with the schedule, there would be no end to working overtime.
After the law enforcement team left, Ji Anran, who was pretending to be innocent, could now finally go out.
However... he was already too exhausted to go out.
Although he was feeling very lazy and very tired, Ji Anran still chose to turn over to face up while lying on the sofa, to protect his little b★tt.
Fortunately, those people of the law enforcement team came in time, otherwise, his little b★tt would have been beaten swollen by that suitor of his... Looking at this sentence, there doesn’t seem a problem at all, yet why did he still feel so strange?
"Anran, don't randomly joke around again in the future. Otherwise, I might not worry about our relationship before acting anymore, you understand?" Geng Yan said very resolutely.
Ji Anran raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of which, back when I read about overbearing president stories, whenever they hear such provocations, they would all use their own strength to directly dispel the rumors. You… are rather special."
"Who was it that would often say by my ear, 'we’re just friends'? If you had been unlucky enough to have met someone else, even if you continued to claim to be just a friend, you still won’t be able to keep your moral integrity[1]."
As Geng Yan said this, he walked over and forcefully flipped Ji•Mantis Shrimp•Anran over[2], giving the other a slap on the b★tt.
"That was too hard!" Ji Anran clenched his small fists and raised a small foot to give Geng Yan a kick.
"I get it. You get out of the way for me. Like this and you still want to get back together, just go be cold and hungry!"
Geng Yan was stunned stupid by Ji Anran’s kick. He stood there for a good while before he finally asked, "Anran, do you mean... if I had just now, if I really went with it just now..."
As Geng Yan said these words, his eyes fell on Ji Anran's waistband.
"You wish!"
Ji Anran gave a cold snort, flipped over like a salted fish, and ran to the bedroom.
This guy's pursuit technique is still lame as ever, the only acceptable point is that he would treat people well. In the beginning, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had been interested in Geng Yan in the first place, it would have been useless even if Geng Yan courted him until the earth grew old.
Geng Yan: "......"
Didn't you not allow him to touch? He’s just like upright gentlemen, why was he getting complained about again?
"Can’t make sense of it. Forget it, just lessen the time speaking to Gao Xun in the future, lest the other lead him astray." Geng Yan shook his head.
[1] Tying in with what Ji Anran mentioned about using strength to dispel rumors in overbearing president stories… What Geng Yan wanted to do before getting interrupted was to just corporal punishment in the tame sense. So what Geng Yan is now saying is, had Ji Anran’s other half been someone else (not him), then certainly, even if Ji Anran were to keep claiming “they’re just friends” the other side wouldn’t really respect that.

YinYue has something to say:
Hello~ I haven't mentioned it before, but a chapter or two back I started to color some of the footnotes that I wanted to encourage readers to check out. They're the same color as... links... Because I didn't want to introduce too many colors... Sorry about that. And sorry that I do it like some other sites such that you guys can click in, etc... Too HTML/time heavy.
