Chapter 264 -263: Arguing with Whom Exactly?

The next morning.

Several people were waiting early at the entrance to the underground training facility of the Bin City Holiday Hotel.

The young girl in a white lab coat with two braided pigtails looked anxious, beads of sweat dotting her nose as she paced back and forth, wringing her hands.

A few waiters in uniform followed her, continuously saying something to the girl.

“Miss, it was agreed that you would rent the facility for one night. It’s this late; why hasn’t anyone come out?”

“Right, right, many of our guests who are used to exercising their pets in the morning are complaining. Our front desk is about to be overwhelmed by calls.”

“Please be kind, don’t make it difficult for us.”

“If it really comes to it, we’ll have to open the doors from the outside.”

“No way!”

The silent girl suddenly became very agitated at this suggestion. She spread her arms, blocking the door, “The professor is working; no one is allowed to disturb.”

“But…”

Squeak~

At that moment, the heavy door was pulled open, and Chen Yixin, with dark circles under her eyes and messy hair, walked out.

She appeared surprised to see so many people gathered at the door, scratching her head tiredly as she greeted, “Good morning, everyone.”

“Professor!”

The girl relaxed upon seeing Chen Yixin emerge, joy spreading across her face.

She quickly crouched down, pulled a cup of coffee from the bag leaning against the corner, and handed it to Chen Yixin, “Professor, they only had instant coffee nearby…”

Chen Yixin grabbed the coffee and drank it eagerly, waving her hand to the girl to indicate it didn’t matter.

Thud thud thud thud…

“Burp~ Revived.”

Chen Yixin patted her stomach contentedly, looked quizzically at the people gathered at the door, “Is there something you need from me?”

“No, no!”

The waiters glanced at each other and shook their heads, indicating there was nothing wrong.

Since the person had come out, there was no point in mentioning trivialities. Moreover, this individual was a VIP.

“Ah~”

After the waiters left, Chen Yixin stretched mightily.

She had the staff send over portable equipment yesterday to conduct experiments, which almost wore her out.

Despite this, her mood was still very good.

Although no valuable information had been found yet, she believed that as long as she had the material, one day she would unlock the secret of “regressive evolution.”

If she could go back and get a good beauty sleep now, the day would be even more perfect.

“Professor…”

Humming an unrecognizable tune, Chen Yixin was about to go back to sleep when the girl with the braids called out to her.

“What’s wrong, Qiuqiu?” Chen Yixin turned and pinched the girl’s cheek.

The child was a bit timid and shy but was quite competent as a life assistant.

This intimate gesture caused the girl’s cheeks to instantly blush, and she said in a low voice, “Everyone on the research vessel is waiting for the professor.”

Chen Yixin’s eyes widened upon hearing that, “Damn, how could I have forgotten about this!”

“You hurry and get someone to bring the equipment, and we must rush to Liaodong Port immediately!”

…

In Bin City’s Liaodong Port, under the dark clouds, several large gantry cranes and overhead cranes stood silently near the docks.

A white, large icebreaker ship was tightly moored at the dock, with the striking characters “Snow Dragon” sprayed at the bow, and a large Star Dragon red flag on the superstructure fluttered in the cold wind, adding a bright color to the leaden sea and sky.

At this time, Liaodong Port was in the midst of the severe winter freezing period, and the docks were desolate.

Massive amounts of floating ice covered the sea surface, preventing tugboats from working directly, and in the distance, a few small ice-breaking ships were busy opening up a channel.

The howling cold wind carried pieces of floating ice, continuously slapping against the ships moored at the port, making a dull sound.

Cang Haiyuan and Shao Zifeng leaned against the railing, quietly watching the low-hanging clouds and the rolling waves, the depressing leaden color dominating the atmosphere and casting a subdued mood on their spirits.

The fierce wind didn’t let any gap go unexploited, desperately burrowing into their clothes.

Both men were dressed in thick down jackets, and despite that, their faces turned blue from the cold.

To be precise, it was Cang Haiyuan’s face that appeared blue, while Shao Zifeng seemed quite comfortable.

Behind them, several cranes were busy under the operation of the staff, loading supplies onto the ship. Besides a few dehydrated vegetables and frozen meat products, the bulk of the cargo consisted of food like potatoes that could be stored for a long time.

These supplies were intended not only for the crew’s consumption during the voyage but primarily for the permanent science research stations in Antarctica. In that environment, perishable vegetables were a luxury.

Cang Haiyuan checked the time on his wrist again and said with some urgency, “Why hasn’t Professor Chen arrived yet? We have only half an hour left before departure.”

Shao Zifeng leaned on the railing with his elbow, his hands tucked into his armpits, huddling his head as he yawned, “She should be coming soon, right? The girl with the braids went to call her when we arrived.”

Qiuqiu hid in Shao Zifeng’s chest, its little paws clutching at the neckline to poke out a small head, curiously surveying the distant ocean; its little eyes sparkled.

Since evolving, it had only ever known endless deserts and air filled with the smell of sulfur. The boundless ocean it was now seeing for the first time made it yearn.

Shao Zifeng rubbed Qiuqiu’s little head with his chin, thankful for this little furnace; otherwise, he would have ended up no better off than Cang Haiyuan.

“What’s the rush? We’re leaving more than half a month earlier than planned. Even if we leave a day late, it shouldn’t matter, right?”

Shao Zifeng squinted his eyes sleepily. Chen Yixin had worn him out the day before, and he was still feeling sleepy.

Cang Haiyuan looked at him with disdain, lecturing in a tone of tough love, “Do you think you can go to Antarctica anytime you wish? It’s currently summer there, and the research site is experiencing midnight sun.”

“All these research missions are planned well in advance. If we fail to complete the scientific tasks on time, the winter in Antarctica coupled with polar night, that kind of extreme, harsh cold can freeze a person to death instantly.”

“I mean, had you done even a bit of research before going to Antarctica, you wouldn’t be saying things like this.”

After a round of lecturing, Cang Haiyuan felt a sense of satisfaction washing over him. Since he had gotten to know Shao Zifeng, he had been outsmarted several times. Now, leveraging his vast knowledge reserve, he managed to score a point, and it seemed like even the howling wind wasn’t as cold anymore.

Shao Zifeng wasn’t bothered; after all, he indeed hadn’t done any research before their trip. Instead, he extended a hand towards Cang Haiyuan.

Cang Haiyuan instinctively grasped it.

Hiss.

So warm.

Shao Zifeng withdrew his hand and tucked it back under his armpits, the corners of his mouth curving in a smile as he squinted his eyes again.

Qiuqiu climbed a little higher, squinting its eyes and nuzzling his cheek with its head, humming in its tiny voice, sharing its contentment with Shao Zifeng.

Cang Haiyuan stood with his hand extended, his previous good mood instantly shattered.

He glared resentfully at Shao Zifeng. Everyone was standing there in the wind.

Why should I be the one freezing like a dog?

Who’s the favorite here?
