<h4>Chapter 574: It Was Not Easy to Get Hold Of Them, so You Better Be Careful</h4>


    Across the north gate was a night market specifically set up by Capital University. Gu Mang swept a nce in that direction and spotted Jiangsui sitting in an inconspicuous spot right away. She made her way over to him and sat opposite of him, where she found a te of stir-fried noodles and a cup of milk tea waiting for her.


    When Jiangsui saw her, his eyes lit up, and he instinctively rose to his feet. “Sister Mang.”


    “Sit.” With a bob of her head, she ordered him to sit back down. She then tore open the straw wrapper and poked the straw into the cup before taking a pair of disposable chopsticks from the bamboo holder.


    “Flying Serpent and Responsive Dragon have arrived in the capital and they want to meet you.”


    She had her head propped on a hand as shezily ate a mouthful of noodles. She looked up at him. “I’m not free. I have military training to attend.” Ignoring Jiangsui, she demanded, “Where are the items I want?”


    He took out a square palm-sized box from his pocket and handed it to her. “It wasn’t easy to get hold of them and each only contains one microliter, so you better be careful with them!”


    “Will do.”


    Her half-hearted response did nothing to dispel his worries. “If you lose it again, I’ll jump off a thirty-story building next time.” His concern was not undue, for they, her subordinates, nearly suffered a heart attack when she lost said itemsst year.


    She opened the box and took a look at its contents. Insidey two transparent tubes that were as fine as needles. They contained a light blue liquid. After putting the lid back on, she carelessly ced the box in her pocket.


    When Jiangsui saw this, he very nearly threw a fit at her and wanted to strangle her to death right there and then. <i>Those things mean as much as her life, yet she treats them so carelessly?!</i>


    “It was an ident,” answered Gu Mang in a concise manner. She had not lost the previous tubes of liquid but had actually used them for research instead. It just happened that her experiment failed.


    He let out a weary sigh at that. “By the way, how do you intend to pass it to Gu Si?”


    “I have my ways.”


    “Alright.” He then lowered his head and dug into his own te of noodles.


    ...


    It was half-past nine by the time she arrived back at her dorm. Her three roommates whipped their heads in her direction the moment she opened the door to their room.


    Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao had finished watching the entire video clip on Weibo and had a rough idea of what had transpired between Gu Mang and thew student. While it was true that their roommate had attacked thew student, she only did so after a brief exchange.


    Her roommates believed that the other girl must have said something to earn such treatment from Gu Mang. As such, Tang Xiaoxiao remained as friendly as before when she greeted her. “Gu Mang, you’re back.”


    Gu Mang removed her cap. “Mm.”


    While Zheng Miao’s attitude toward her was pretty much the same as well, Su Jiaying merely smiled faintly at her.


    Tang Xiaoxiao pointed at the watermelon cubes on the table. “Do you want to eat watermelon?”


    “No, thanks,” Gu Mang courteously replied as she took out the box from her pocket and tossed it on her bed. She then ced the book Yang Tianming had given to her on the bookshelf, took a set of pajamas from the closet, and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.


    As soon as the bathroom door shut, Su Jiaying turned to look at the book that Gu Mang had ced on the bookshelf. She stared at it for a long time as she fell into deep thought. <i>The book Gu Mang brought back seems to be a brand new copy of thetest medical textbook. Who did she meet earlier and why did shee back with a textbook?</i>


    Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao were trying their best to polish off the rest of the watermelon cubes. They had bought too much earlier. While eating, they talked about the restaurants that had caught their eye earlier and discussed when they should go visit.


    Twenty minutester, Gu Mang emerged from the bathroom, her head lowered as she dried her hair with a towel before wrapping it around her head. She then walked to her table and made herself a cup of honey water.


    Noticing the bottle of honey on her table, Tang Xiaoxiao approached Gu Mang, asking, “Gu Mang, this honey bottle is really pretty. Where did you buy it from? Can you send me the shop link?”


    Her roommate looked up and told her quietly, “It was a gift from a friend.”


    “Your boyfriend?” She threw Gu Mang a teasing look, only to have her question be returned with another question.


    “Do you want some?”


    Tang Xiaoxiao quickly brought her cup over. “Just a small spoonful.”


    Gu Mang pushed the bottle of honey toward her, passed her a spoon, then lifted her chin. “Help yourself.”


    “Okay.”
