Hearing this, Zuo Mingdong did not delay any further. “Then I’ll have to trouble you. Help me knock on the door and ask.”

Zuo Mingdong was not afraid of waiting, but the base was still waiting for the nutrient solution. He could not delay the progress of others. Du Yue nodded and turned to walk toward Xia Ju’s room. Du Yue stood at Xia Ju’s door and knocked on it for a long time, but there was no response from the person inside.

“Could she be busy?” asked Zuo Mingdong. “Why don’t 1 wait a little longer?”

Before Du Yue could speak, the person inside suddenly pushed open the door and walked out. Xia Ju, who was standing in front of them, had messy hair draped over her shoulders, but she did not look sloppy. Instead, she had an unruly beauty.

After seeing Xia Ju’s hair color, Zuo Mingdong was slightly stunned. “Do you like to wear a wig when you do research?” Was it really a woman’s nature to take care of their appearance this much?

However, this wig suited her quite well.

Xia Ju rubbed her eyes. After hearing Zuo Mingdong’s question, she looked at him in confusion. “Wig? This is my original hair. What you usually see is a wig.”

Du Yue helped to explain, “Xia Ju and He Xing are from the same place, so their hair color is the same. However, Xia Ju’s hair is too long. We were worried that it would attract unnecessary attention, so she wears a wig.”

“I see.” Zuo Mingdong suddenly came to a realization. “So, in fact, Xia Ju and He Xing are relatives?”

Du Yue was speechless. When did she say that they were related by blood? However, this matter could not be explained in a few sentences. Du Yue vaguely said, “I guess so.”

Zuo Mingdong had not lived for decades in vain. Just hearing Du Yue’s answer, he knew that Xia Ju’s identity should be the same as He Xing’s. There were some unspeakable secrets, so he was very tactful and did not ask again. Instead, he turned to look at Xia Ju and told her why he was here. Xia Ju, who was still a little sleepy, was more or less awake after hearing Zuo Mingdong’s words. She looked slightly surprised. “Didn’t I give you the sample and the production method? Is it still not working?”

Although he knew that Xia Ju was just asking a question and did not have any other meaning, he was still very curious. It did not really matter if the nutrient solution could not be produced, but Zuo Mingdong was still a little embarrassed. “The researchers are working hard on it, but…”

Zuo Mingdong was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xia Ju wave at him. “Wait for me here.” As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Ju turned around and returned to her room, closing the door behind her.

Du Yue turned around and walked toward the living room. “Captain Zuo, come and sit for a while. Xia Ju should be out soon.”

Just as Du Yue said, Zuo Mingdong sat down for less than ten minutes before Xia Ju opened the door and walked out. She was holding a large cardboard box in her arms, which contained a lot of things. “You came at the right time. It saves you the trouble of coming back later. I’ve already made the pesticide. Take it back with you this time to test the effect. If you have any problems, contact me at any time. If there are any inadequacies, I can improve them at any time, but 1 don’t think there should be too many problems.”

If Zuo Mingdong had heard this from someone else, he might think that person was bragging. However, after witnessing Xia Ju’s previous achievements, Zuo Mingdong had a preliminary understanding of Xia Ju’s abilities and was even more convinced by her words. “Sorry to trouble you, Miss Xia. I’ll bring it back and let them try it.”

Xia Ju nodded. “I can’t talk to you anymore. 1 pulled an all-nighter last night, and now my eyelids are falling shut. I’ll rest well after you leave.”

One was in a hurry to sleep, and the other was in a hurry to bring the things back.

After Zuo Mingdong left with the things, Xia Ju did not return to her room immediately. Instead, she looked at Du Yue and asked pitifully, “I’m so hungry. Is there anything delicious?”

“You’ve worked so hard. Of course, there’s enough good food! Tell me, what do you want to eat?”

“Spicy hot pot. 1 want to eat something spicy!”

Du Yue quickly took out a bowl of spicy hot pot and some fried skewers from her space and placed them on the table. “Hurry up and eat. There’s still more if it’s not enough.”

Xia Ju’s eyes curved. “You’re so good to me!”

Du Yue took advantage of Xia Ju’s meal to tell her about her plan to go north.

After saying that, Du Yue asked Xia Ju, “Do you have any other opinions?”

Xia Ju’s mouth was slowly stuffed with chicken, so she could not speak. She could only nod her head to express her thoughts. After swallowing the chicken in her mouth, Xia Ju said, “In the future, you two can discuss this kind of thing.. I’ll always follow you!”
