Li Changting's eyes fell on a vessel on the table.
He suddenly had an idea and accidentally knocked over the vessel.
The contents inside were all spilled on Qiao Yuyue's body.
Qiao Yuyue screamed and hurried to pick up the spilled items. In a panic, a bottle of reagent rolled to the ground and burst instantly, emitting a pungent smell.
Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, but she reacted quickly and leaned back to avoid more reagents splashing on her.
"I'm sorry, I..." Li Changting immediately stretched out his hand to help, but when he saw that Qiao Yuyue had quickly processed most of the reagents, his movements paused in mid-air.
Qiao Yuyue's face was a little pale. She looked at the broken pieces of the reagent bottle on the ground, secretly thanking herself for her quick reaction.
She raised her head and said to Li Changting, "It's okay, I'll take care of it. You go out first, it may be dangerous here."
"Let me help you." Li Changting said anxiously.
The reason he did this was to see if Qiao Yuyue had that scar on her waist.
That was the place he remembered most clearly from last night.
Qiao Yuyue felt that Li Changting's gaze seemed to want to penetrate her clothes and check her waist, which made her heart beat even more disorderly.
She subconsciously covered it with her hands, then quickly picked up the debris on the ground, trying not to make her movements appear too nervous.
"Really, no need. I deal with these all the time. Please get out first. I'm afraid the smell will be bad for you."
Qiao Yuyue's voice was trembling slightly. She tried her best to appear calm and quickly glanced at her waist to make sure there were no signs of exposure.
Li Changting looked at Qiao Yuyue's actions, and his doubts grew even stronger. However, he still chose to take a step back and opened the door of the laboratory: "Then be careful. Call me anytime if you need help."
Qiao Yuyue nodded and said nothing more. She just wanted to deal with everything as quickly as possible and then find a place to sort out her thoughts.
Li Changting walked out of the laboratory and closed the door, leaving Qiao Yuyue alone in the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Qiao Yuyue's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She quickly and skillfully dealt with the spilled reagents, and then opened the window for ventilation.
She took a deep breath, trying to dispel the tension and confusion in her heart.
The memory of last night was like a tangled mess. She didn't know how much Li Changting remembered and what he was doubting about.
Qiao Yuyue walked to the sink and washed her hands carefully, then took off her lab coat and checked her clothes to make sure there were no traces left.
She didn't understand why Li Changting was so tentative about what happened last night. Did he really not remember it?
After calming down, Qiao Yuyue put on her lab coat again and continued her unfinished work.
She knew that only by keeping herself busy could she temporarily forget the things that were bothering her.
The door of the laboratory was pushed open again, and Li Changting walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand: "Doctor Qiao, you may need this, don't be too tired when working."
Qiao Yuyue took the coffee and smiled at him: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
But Li Changting showed no intention of leaving. Qiao Yu then realized that he was still holding a lab coat in his hand.
"I just remembered that your lab coat was dirty in the chaos just now, so I got you a new one."
He explained, his eyes sweeping across Qiao Yuyue's waist intentionally or unintentionally.
Qiao Yuyue's heart tightened, but she still took the lab coat gratefully: "You are so thoughtful, I will change into it."
She tried her best to make her voice sound natural, and secretly congratulated herself on her quick reaction.
Li Changting nodded, put his lab coat on the table beside him, then turned and walked out of the laboratory, leaving her enough space.
Qiao Yuyue looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions, not understanding why he would behave like this.
She quickly changed into a new lab coat and folded the old one, preparing to wash it later.
When I opened the door, I found Li Changting still standing at the door.
Qiao Yuyue was a little surprised, but still asked politely: "Boss Li, is there anything else?"
Li Changting's gaze stayed on her for a second, then moved away. His voice carried a subtle hint of meaning: "I just want to make sure you're okay. You weren't hurt by those reagents last night, were you?"
Qiao Yuyue shook her head, and her doubts about him increased: "I'm fine, thank you."
Li Changting smiled slightly, turned around and left. This time he did not stay, but really walked out of the laboratory.
Qiao Yuyue closed the door and leaned against it. She felt a chill rising up her spine. Li Changting's behavior made her feel uneasy.
He seemed to be looking for something, or verifying something. She did not leave any clues last night, she was sure of that.
After calming down, Qiao Yuyue decided not to think about Li Changting anymore. She returned to the laboratory table and continued her research.
She knew that only with her calmness and rationality could she deal with any situation that might arise.
The laboratory returned to calm, with only Qiao Yuyue's busy figure and the occasional sound of equipment.
She devoted herself to her work, trying to temporarily put aside the troubles brought by Li Changting.
However, Li Changting's shadow was like an indelible shadow, always looming over her heart.
Li Changting in the office frowned.
He looked at the coffee in his hand, but his thoughts drifted to Qiao Yuyue in the laboratory.
He didn't understand why he cared so much about what happened last night. The shock at that moment and Qiao Yuyue's reaction made him confused.
Qiao Yuyue's eyes were so similar to the woman's eyes last night.
At that moment, he seemed to see the scar on Qiao Yuyue's waist faintly visible in the chaos last night.
But that scar, he remembered, belonged to the mysterious woman from last night.
He shook his head, trying to dispel these groundless speculations.
Li Changting decided that he needed to find the answer.
He needed to confirm whether Qiao Yuyue was related to what happened last night, and whether the scar was just his illusion.
He decided that he needed to get to know Qiao Yuyue more deeply to solve the mystery.
He put down his coffee and turned to walk towards the laboratory.
He told himself that he was just going to check the safety of the laboratory and to confirm whether Qiao Yuyue needed help.
However, he knew in his heart that his real purpose was to find traces of the scar that might not exist.
Qiao Yuyue, what are you hiding? He asked secretly in his heart.
He didn't believe what Shen Yue said to him.
He looked at Shen Yue and didn't feel the same way as he did last night.
But she said that she was the woman from last night, and he didn't believe it.
