Xiao Li quickened her pace, seeing Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was waiting at the stairway. He had been there for a while but didn't want to stand near the classroom door as it might draw attention, so he waited at the stairs instead.
Yue Wenwen watched Xiao Li walk briskly away, staring at her back, and then saw Qin Xiao as well. At that moment, she finally understood why she had been rejected.
Her eyes shifted subtly, and Yue Wenwen wisely refrained from going over to greet them. She only moved forward after Qin Xiao and Xiao Li had left.
Xiao Li rushed to Qin Xiao's side, "Uncle, why are you here? Isn't the lab busy?"
Qin Xiao held Xiao Li's hand, leading her forward, "I'm here to pick you up from school. The lab isn't busy; someone else is keeping an eye on it."
Zhou Junren is no longer in the lab; he's now teaching at the university, and Zhang Yang is mainly the one overseeing the lab now.
