exhausted

At around five o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Xu came to the research room, he saw the little girl leaning against the wall with a tired look on her face. He walked up and asked, "Can you leave?"

"It will take a while, the results haven't come out yet."

"Go sit on the stool and sleep for a while. I'll call you when the results come out."

"good."

More than an hour later, Zhang Xu heard Xu Wei say that the experimental results were out. He squatted down and whispered in the little girl's ear: "Xiao Xiao, the experimental results are out."

Lu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes immediately after hearing Zhang Xu's words, then got up and walked towards the console.

"Mr. Xu, what's the result?"

"It didn't meet expectations, but the experiment is in the right direction."

"Make a note and continue tomorrow."

"good."

"I'm leaving. You should go home and rest early. Tomorrow's tasks will be even heavier."

"knew."

Lu Xiaoxiao yawned after leaving the research room, and then said to Zhang Xu: "Let's go back after dinner."

"Can."

After Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xu had dinner at the state-owned hotel, she took the car back to the base. However, because she had been highly concentrated all day today, she was very tired and fell asleep not long after.

When Zhang Xu drove back to the base, he saw the little girl sleeping soundly. Instead of waking her up, he took her out of the car and carried her back to the dormitory.

Lu Xiaoxiao actually woke up when Zhang Xu carried her out of the car, but because she was too tired, she didn't say anything and let Zhang Xu carry her back to the dormitory.

After Zhang Xu put the little girl on the bed in the dormitory, he said to the little girl: "You lie down and sleep for a while, and I will help you get water."

"Thanks."

After Lu Xiaoxiao washed herself with the water brought by Zhang Xu, she felt quite awake. Then she asked Zhang Xu, "Have you finished drinking all the medicinal food?"

"Already finished."

"Put out your hand and I'll take your pulse."

"good."

After checking Zhang Xu's pulse, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu and said, "Did you eat anything good today?"

"No, I just ate the medicinal food you made."

"Your body's recovery ability is really good." Lu Xiaoxiao sighed.

She didn't think that Zhang Xu recovered so quickly because of the medicated diet she cooked. Although the medicated diet she cooked helped Zhang Xu's recovery, it was not that powerful.

"You took care of it well."

"No, it's because your body's recovery ability is strong. You can use your internal strength tomorrow, but you will have to take medicinal food for two days."

"good."

"It's getting late, you should go back to the dormitory and rest." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu did not leave immediately after hearing what the little girl said. Instead, he looked at the little girl and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course, whatever you say."

"I got a box from Mr. Xu today. I want you to help me check if there is anything wrong with the box."

"Bring the box."

"good."

Lu Xiaoxiao frowned tightly when Zhang Xu entered the dormitory with the box, because she smelled a familiar smell.

"Put the box on the table and be careful."

"Um."

After Lu Xiaoxiao placed the box on the table, Zhang Xu took out a stainless steel tweezers from her bag and carefully fiddled with the contents of the box.

"Is there any problem?" Zhang Xu asked the little girl.

"Yes, and it's a big problem."
