Upstairs.

The three of them went to the laboratory.

The laboratory occupied most of the third floor.

Gu Xichi directly pushed the door open to let them in. The computers and machines were turned on and there were a bunch of experimental precision instruments.

“I have done research on a virus halfway.” Gu Xichi took out a test tube and handed it to Cheng Juan. “Take a look.”

Cheng Juan did not specialize in virology as Gu Xichi did.

But his brain was like a database; Gu Xichi already knew about this ever since the medical organization.

Thus, when Qin Ran had told him that the report was from Cheng Juan, Gu Xichi had taken it to study directly.

Cheng Juan glanced down.

Qin Ran didn’t know what they were looking at and just wandered around in the laboratory for a while.

“It’s what I told you last night about your grandma.” Gu Xichi saw that Cheng Juan was still looking at the things and walked over to her. “Was there a nuclear power plant or something similar near your house?”

Qin Ran leaned on the table and narrowed her eyes.

Gu Xichi finished his apple and threw the core into the trash can. “Your grandma received uranium radiation. This kind of radiation can make the cells change.”

He talked briefly and frowned after thinking about it.

People in constant contact with uranium were not simple.

After hearing this, Qin Ran stayed silent. She pursed her lips and nodded in understanding after a long while. “I understand.”

Qin Ran obviously did not want to speak more about this, so Gu Xichi did not ask further.

He went to see the results of the other experiments.

Cheng Juan had finished reading it. Gu Xichi had a catalytic virus that repaired organ cells and caused regeneration, but not much progress had been made.

Every cell had the ability to regenerate, but they also had a lifespan and would stop regenerating at a certain level.

He put the test tube aside and pulled out a chair to sit in front of the computer.

The page on the computer was in a black tone, and the three-dimensional virus structure rotated on it.

“How is it?” Gu Xichi looked at Cheng Juan and came over to ask him.

“Wait.” Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Downstairs, the three people took a while to react.

“Cough, are you not going out?” Lu Zhaoying tilted his head and glanced towards Jiang Dongye.

Jiang Dongye finally caught his breath. His usually warm face looked freakish as if he had just seen a ghost, and he said grumpily, “Why would I go out?”

He had looked for him for several years.

Forget about Qin Ran.

What about Master Juan?

Jiang Dongye glanced upstairs quietly.

Although he really wanted to go up, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran were there, so he didn’t dare to.

Gu Xichi had no furniture on the first floor and only had entertainment.

Lu Zhaoying and the others looked as if they had entered the Grand View Garden and followed after Xiao Er on a tour around the house.

Finally, they stopped in a corner in front of some computers.

They were all black.

They waited downstairs for a long time before Cheng Juan came down slowly.

Qin Ran and Gu Xichi were still on the third floor.

“The second floor has rooms. Pick one yourself, except for the last three rooms.” Cheng Juan took a bottle of water from Xiao Er’s tray and glanced at the three of them. “You can go back to the hotel if you don’t want to stay.”

“Stay! Of course I will stay!” Lu Zhaoying touched his ear studs and laughed as he glanced around Gu Xichi’s house.

Jiang Dongye sat in a chair thinking about life. At this time, he stared at Cheng Juan and stood up immediately with his hand on the table. “Master Juan, you... you already knew Gu Xichi?”

Cheng Juan was about to go upstairs. He nodded when he heard this and glanced at Jiang Dongye with a very good temper. “It seems to be so.”

Jiang Dongye: “... why didn’t you tell me?”

He just watched as he chased after Gu Xichi all over the world.

Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow. “You never asked.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going upstairs.” He walked upstairs lazily.

**

Gu Xichi stayed in the laboratory for a whole day without coming out.

He didn’t have a kitchen here. So, as Cheng Mu looked through the refrigerator, he found only beer. Thus, he called the hotel at noon to order a meal.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan came downstairs to eat, but Gu Xichi remained upstairs.

Cheng Juan asked Cheng Mu to send him a meal.

Cheng Mu trembled with fear and trepidation in front of the door for a long time before he dared to reach out and knock on it.

Downstairs, Jiang Dongye really wanted to deliver the food in Cheng Mu’s place. His heart itched terribly as if a kitten was clawing on it, but Cheng Juan and Qin Ran were beside him, so he didn’t dare to move.

After a long while, he finally turned and said to Qin Ran, “Miss Qin, you also knew Gu Xichi?” He thought for a while before asking, “Gu Xichi went to Yun Cheng last time to find you?”

Qin Ran reached for a piece of meat and only nodded.

Lu Zhaoying propped his legs up and sat on the other side, watching Jiang Dongye in amusement with a raised eyebrow. “Gu Xichi almost went to Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet last time. Of course, if you had asked her, she might have brought you to see Gu Xichi earlier.”

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

He felt regret stronger than ever now.

He wished he could go back to a week ago when it was Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet. Even if a thousand people pulled him, he would still go.

**

After eating, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan did not go upstairs to disturb Gu Xichi.

Only Xiao Er went upstairs to retrieve Gu Xichi’s bowl.

Lu Zhaoying had studied Gu Xichi’s house all afternoon and was rather bored now, so he leaned over to speak to Qin Ran.

He lowered his head to flip through WeChat and Ouyang Wei asked him if he wanted to play a game.

The battle between Yi Jiming and Yang Fei yesterday stayed on Weibo’s hot search for a long time.

Many youngsters watched the passionate game and then turned on their computers to operate the characters in the arena.

“Cheng Mu, do you want to play a game with your goddess?” Lu Zhaoying turned and asked Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu’s eyes lit up, but he paused and shook his head. “No, I asked someone to help me reach this level. I cannot operate with her, my goddess has to reach the Supreme level.”

Lu Zhaoying glanced at Qin Ran. “Would you like to play with Cheng Mu’s account?”

Cheng Mu’s cards were not as complete as Cheng Juan’s, but he still had the essential cards, especially the low-level auxiliary cards that Qin Ran loved to play with.

Qin Ran was thinking about Chen Shulan’s affairs, but when she heard Lu Zhaoying, she looked up and threw her phone aside, nodding.

Lu Zhaoying remembered what he had told Cheng Juan before and asked, “Master Juan, Qin Ran is playing with Cheng Mu’s account. Do you want to join us?”

Cheng Juan was originally leaning on the sofa, his eyes half-closed as if he was really sleeping. After a long while, he replied, “Ok.”

Gu Xichi had enough computers in his house.

They all boarded the game.

Ouyang Wei found that there were four rows and turned on the voice speaker. “Young Master Lu, are the other two people your friends? Are they turning on the speaker?”

Lu Zhaoying had also turned on the speaker. He laughed and said, “No.”

Cheng Mu moved to the bench next to Lu Zhaoying and watched as they started the first game.

Qin Ran randomly took three auxiliary cards and Cheng Juan did the same.

However, Lu Zhaoying and Ouyang Wei operated well together and they won the game easily.

But Lu Zhaoying called out “Master Juan” in the middle of the game and Ouyang Wei’s hand on the computer’s control paused.

The second game started.

This time, Ouyang Wei directly brought out the Fuxi card.

Lu Zhaoying almost flipped the cup near his hand over. “What the f*ck, a God card?! Ouyang, where did you get it from?”

Ordinary people couldn’t get the God card easily.

Lu Zhaoying had intended on asking Qin Ran when she could ask Yang Fei to give him a God card as well.

Or he could also play on Yang Fei’s account and use the God cards as he liked.

Ouyang Wei’s voice was faint as she replied, “I happened to know someone in the team and got this God card.”

A good card was very important in a high-end game, so Ouyang Wei’s output exploded.

After playing the second game, Qin Ran stopped.

She went upstairs to see where Gu Xichi was at.

Cheng Juan saw that she was not playing and put down the mouse.

Lu Zhaoying and Ouyang Wei found it meaningless to play now that the two of them already stopped, so he reluctantly told Ouyang Wei to join him again next time.

After closing the game page, he followed Cheng Juan excitedly. “I didn’t expect her to have a God card! I have played against a God card in my life now!”

Cheng Juan looked up and closed the game page silently.

“Master Juan, can you open your mailbox? You have OCD, don’t you?” Lu Zhaoying pointed to the mailbox icon in the upper right corner of Cheng Juan’s computer game page.

Cheng Juan didn’t pay attention to it. He had not used this account for a long time, but since Lu Zhaoying said so, he casually clicked on it.

Most of them were return packages or event packages.

There were a dozen messages.

Cheng Juan clicked on all of them patiently.

He clicked on the last message—

It was a message from July 9th from three years ago—
