2009 Finally Remembering Sister Nian and the Others
Among the four of them, Qiao Nian was the calmest. Ever since she came in, she had found a corner seat and pulled out a chair to sit down.

She leaned her head back and found the most comfortable position to nestle in. Her baseball cap was lowered. Only when Shen Qingfeng poured her water did she open her mouth to thank him. The rest of the time, she did not participate in their discussion at all. She took out her phone and started a game, preparing to play it.

Before Qiao Nian could do so, she saw an unread message.

Her fair fingers clicked on it.

It was from Indigo Collar.

!!
It was a message from after she went offline yesterday.

Qiao Nian looked down.

[Indigo Collar: I’ll wait for you to ask me out when you’re free.]

Qiao Nian frowned. She hadn’t expected the other party to insist on meeting her.

She tapped her fingers on the phone screen and typed a few words. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not good. She might as well delete it. She wouldn’t reply to this message for now.

At this moment, the game was about to begin.

Qiao Nian propped her legs up and lowered her eyes casually. She focused on her cell phone game.

The sound effects of the game sounded in the quiet lounge.

Shen Qingfeng, Xue Zhu, and Xu Yi were originally in a low mood. The three of them were stunned upon hearing the game sounds. Then, they realized that Qiao Nian was playing a game.

The girl had her legs crossed, her eye-catching face exuding the light and wildness of a young man. She did not care about the predicament they were in at all.

That calm and composed attitude was like a breeze blowing past, calming their anxiety.

Shen Qingfeng’s eyes moved slightly, and the expression on his gentle face was very complicated. He couldn’t help but say, “Qiao Nian, aren’t you worried?”

At this moment, Qiao Nian was sniping from the treetops and killing someone with one shot. Her legs were resting on the table casually. She did not seem worried at all. She did not even look up. “What are you worried about?

Shen Qingfeng did not know what to say. “I’m just worried that… we can only stay here.”

Qiao Nian controlled the character to shoot someone in the head again before slowly raising her eyes to look at him. She curled her lips a little arrogantly, but she also seemed quite restrained. She replied casually, “Is it useful for us to be worried? If they don’t involve us, we won’t be able to participate either. After all, we only won the right to visit, not to be an official part of the Level 8 laboratory like them. We’ll do whatever they arrange. If they don’t have any arrangements for us, we’ll wait.”

Shen Qingfeng still wanted to say something.

“Let’s wait for the arrangements. They won’t keep ignoring us forever.” The girl raised her eyebrows and finished speaking to him. Then, she lowered her head and continued playing the game.

Qiao Nian’s optimistic attitude seemed to have infected Xue Zhu. She and Xu Yi both took out their phones. Xue Zhu pulled a chair over and asked Qiao Nian which game she was playing. She said that she wanted to download it too and team up with her.

Xu Yi told Shen Qingfeng that he still had an experimental report to write. He could use this time to write it.

Of the four of them, three had found something to do.

Shen Qingfeng did not hesitate anymore. He looked around and found a pen and paper. He calmed down and began to remember some details in Qiao Nian’s super algorithm that he did not understand…

Some time passed.

At three in the afternoon.

Cao Yanhua finally finished what he was doing.

Someone beside him suddenly mentioned, “Senior Brother Cao, are those newcomers still waiting in the lounge?”
