"Love is Repayment Chapter 25 What is 0 + 5? Love after love"

  We are often willing to do many things for the people we love without seeking a return. In fact, deep down, we hope to receive a return, to receive an equal amount of love in exchange for what we put out.

  Ji Huan Ning vaguely felt that Xiaolan had been somewhat depressed and unhappy these past few days. Although she was still smiling sweetly at him, when alone, he didn't know what worries were on her mind.

  Was it a young man's spring? She thought wickedly and unexpectedly circled behind him:

  "Don't move!" She held her hand like a gun against his back.

  Lin Jinglan obediently raised her hand and stood up straight, "Heroine spare my life!"

  "It's not fun anymore." She sat down with a huff, remembering how he used to get scared and sit on the ground with a thud when they played like this as kids, sometimes even bursting into loud wails. Kids grow up and it's just not as fun as before, she sighed, feeling like she'd aged.

  He blinked his bright eyes, "What's wrong? Otherwise, how do you want to play, I'm fine with anything."

  "Really?" She sneered: "Then you'd better confess honestly, which little girl have you taken a fancy to?"

  "What's up, which family's little girl..."

  "Your face is red, your eyes are dodging, what's wrong? What's wrong? Hurry up and say it, have you fallen for someone?"

  "...Did you know?"

  She nodded: "Uh-huh, of course I know, who knows you better than me?"

  "What... what do you think?" He looked at her with a mixture of hope and unease, like a lost little deer.

  "I? Of course, I support our Xiao Lan! Which girl is it? Speak up and let sister help you think about it. Wasn't it the last time I got drunk and was with you?" She vaguely remembered that there was a girl by his side at that time, but her appearance was very blurry.

  His heart sank from heaven to hell in an instant. He muttered: "No, I was just kidding."

  "Really? Then why have you been so down in the dumps these past few days?"

  He sulked: "I'm in a bad mood, how did you associate that I like someone?"

  "It's... that... you're not happy, are you? I think you're eighteen now, probably around this age. You like someone, but they don't like you back... You also know you've been stupid and silly since childhood..." She had always bullied him with ease.

  He should be angry, but for some reason his heart felt warm instead. He smiled: "Am I really that bad? If I truly like someone, I will devote myself wholeheartedly, no matter how long it takes, until she understands."

  Ji Huaning only felt a tightness in her heart, and when she thought about it again, there was no trace: "Well, well, let's just say I guessed wrong. At worst, I'll just make a few more dishes today!"

  "Really?..."

  While having dinner, Ji Hua Ning listened to him talk about the project that couldn't be started due to insufficient funds. She inquired about the details and then told him: "I might be able to think of a way for this matter. Our company usually invests in some experimental projects, your project is also suitable for us, I'll submit a report to our leader tomorrow to apply."

  "Really?!" Lin Jinglan excitedly pulled up her sleeves, her eyes shining like stars. Ji Huaning was dazzled, and the chopsticks beckoned to his hand: "Cooked! Eat!"

  Ji Hua Ning's project was quickly approved: allowed. Next, she had to accompany the leaders and experts to inspect their laboratory conditions, experimental personnel, and experimental plans to see if they were qualified before getting the final reply. Lin Jing Lan and her classmates were nervously preparing, if they could pass this level, the launch of the experiment would be no problem.

  "This is our leader Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang, these two are experts in biological nutrition, and this is Professor Han who is in charge of this experiment."

  On the day of the appraisal, Ji Huaning served as the host on site. A tailored beige suit, black long hair quietly hanging behind her back, and pearly white teeth. Lin Jinglan looked at this elegant and poised woman, feeling both unfamiliar and dazzling.

  In such a situation, introverted him was really not good at communicating with people. He could only silently watch, just like the first time he watched her play the violin, so enchanting.

  There was still one person who had been paying attention to them from the beginning, and that was Chris. When he saw the young man sitting in the corner, he suddenly understood why Queenie would suddenly take the initiative to propose a project collaboration. Such slow thoughts made him a little confused: he had always advocated for absolute freedom and hated being bound by anything. Would such a person also have a day when they fell into a trap?

  Half a month later, Ji Huaning received the final answer to the audit. She smiled and put the file into her bag, rushing straight to Xiao Lan's school after work. I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees this?

  Not yet entering the laboratory, the girl's light and sweet laughter had already been transmitted: "Lin senior, everyone says so, you just accept it!"

  Others shouted: "Lin Jinglan, your girlfriend is sincere, what are you ashamed of!"

  Then she heard Xiaolan's gentle voice say softly: "It's not like that, don't talk nonsense."

  "It doesn't matter if I talk nonsense, it's all going to happen sooner or later, haha..."

  Little Blue, no wonder he's always cooped up in the lab. Ji Huaning pushed the door open with a bit of force and entered: "Lin Jinglan!"

  Everyone in the house stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door. He hadn't expected there to be so many people inside, and Ji Huaning realized he had lost his composure, his face growing a bit hot.

  Professor Han looked at Little Blue again and then at the woman at the door, taking off his gloves as he walked over: "Miss Ji? Is there news about the experiment?"

  Ji Huaning restored her beautiful smile, took out the documents from her bag: "Yes, Professor Han. I came to inform you that the cooperation plan has been approved and can be implemented next month."

  "Ah——" The group of people suddenly erupted into cheers and applause. Ji Huaning turned to leave, but Lin Jinglan rushed out from behind the table: "Huaning, wait for me to go back together."

  Ji Huaning glanced at the girl behind him, petite and lovely, only seventeen or eighteen years old, looking quite compatible with Xiao Lan. She waved her hand, "No need, I have something to do first, you solve your own dinner."

  He stubbornly said: "No, wait for me." After speaking, he turned back to take his clothes and bag, hastily bid farewell to the professor, and was sent out by the crowd.

  Minna stood awkwardly in place, feeling like a thorn in her back, unable to move forward or stay. The crowd tactfully withdrew their prying gazes, silently mourning the disillusionment of Lin Jinglan's supposed girlfriend in their minds.

  Only Professor Han stroked his chin thoughtfully and then smiled slyly and jumped out with a sentence: "So that's how it is."

  Outside, a young girl in professional attire was walking quickly, with a slender boy chasing after her. The boy had long legs and soon caught up to her: "Hua Ning, don't walk so fast."

  Ji Huaning's tone was unpleasant: "I'm walking my way, you're walking yours, what business is it of yours that I'm walking fast?"

  She had been unhappy since she was a child, Lin Jinglan knew it in her heart, but what exactly was the reason? "Are you unhappy? Who bullied you?"

  "No." She didn't slow down a bit as a car whizzed past her side.

  "Be careful!" Lin Jinglan exclaimed, pulling her back with a jerk. The two of them collided heavily and when Ji Huaning came to, she was already half-leans against his chest, warm and dizzying.

  She pushed him away, "What's wrong with you?"

  Unexpectedly, Little Blue was even more severe: "It's okay to be angry, but you still have to watch your step!"

  Facing his toughness, she softened: "I didn't notice, it won't happen again." The inexplicable suffocation also eased for the time being.

  He looked at her gently: "What's wrong?"

  Ji Huaning thought for a moment: "I've encountered some problems at work and can't think it through for the time being. I'm free now."

  He nodded, "It's okay. By the way, thanks for your help with the experiment. Seeing Professor smile so much that his eyes were narrowed, I was really happy. Thank you, Hua Ning."

  She slapped him and said, "Thanks for nothing, jerk."

  He lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes fluttered: "When I first entered the school, I was young, and many people didn't believe in me. Only Professor Han treated me equally, helped me a lot, and I've always wanted to repay him."

  "I know." The wind blew her flowing hair, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

  "So this thank you, no matter what, is something that must be said. Consider it for him and for all the lab mates, you should accept it."

  Ji Huaning nodded vigorously: "I understand, but I need something more practical!"

  "What do you want?" Lin Jinglan slightly tilted her head to look at her, and a hint of confusion appeared in her big eyes, which was extremely cute.

  "Treat me to a big meal! Eat pizza, ice cream!"

  He smiled sweetly: "What's wrong with that? Let's go now."
