CHAPTER 922: CHAPTER 727: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 68_2

Bo Qin heard this and wanted to laugh, "Why so guilty? Can’t even tell me about going for research?"

Jian Dan couldn’t quite tell if this was probing or something else, but looking at Bo Qin’s expression, it didn’t seem like probing, so she grinned, "Actually, it wasn’t far, just in the nearby city, just a small matter, so I didn’t tell Uncle Qin."

Bo Qin responded with a hum, not pressing further, and Jian Dan’s anxious heart settled down. She began to eat breakfast steadily, occasionally chatting with Bo Qin, but nothing important, just the usual daily nonsense.

She never thought she would have a day like this with Bo Qin, just chatting simply, feeling pretty good.

After breakfast, she helped Bo Qin clean the dishes and casually asked, "Uncle Qin, how come you’re here? Didn’t you say before? Actually, you didn’t have to come, I’ll be done here soon, and by then, we can often have meals together."

Bo Qin smiled, "There’s not much going on over there, and they want me to do everything myself, so what’s the point of having so many people? Meng Xue and Zhou Yao are working quite well together now, and both are very capable, allowing me to let go of many things. You don’t need to worry, there’s still time for you."

A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye. Although Jian Dan was about to return home, Bo Qin still enjoyed the feeling of coming and going, as if... nurturing a rare treasure in one place, and whenever he had time, he would come to have a look. The exhilaration of that feeling is something no one else could understand.

He didn’t tell Jian Dan, but continued to insist on what he was doing.

This time, Jian Dan didn’t have much time to accompany Bo Qin, burying herself in the study writing reports during her rest, also trying to avoid Bo Qin as much as possible. Her reasons were reasonable and sound; she just didn’t want to be disturbed and wanted to complete the tasks assigned by her mentor in peace, letting Bo Qin entertain himself.

Bo Qin found it both funny and frustrating.

So this time, Bo Qin stayed for two days, cooked for her for two days, and then returned home. When he left, he felt quite aggrieved, feeling wronged. This time Jian Dan hadn’t accompanied him, leaving him both disappointed and satisfied, with emotions he couldn’t quite understand.

Jian Dan saw him off at the airport, and he complained once. Jian Dan laughed helplessly, "Uncle Qin, next time when I return home, you can pick me up at the airport. Don’t come next month, in just over a month, I’ll return home, and you can pick me up then, okay?"

Bo Qin looked at her for a while, then nodded, "Since you wish so, I will naturally listen to you. Make sure to eat well, even if you don’t have time, don’t go hungry, understand?"

Jian Dan made an OK gesture with a smile that didn’t fade, "Mm, I got it, Uncle Qin, take care on your journey."

Bo Qin let go of his suitcase, took two steps forward, held her in his arms and smiled, "Every time I leave here, it doesn’t feel comfortable. Jianjian, come home soon."

Jian Dan was first stunned, then reached out to hug Bo Qin’s waist, a hint of mist flickering in her eyes, "I got it, Uncle Qin, I’ll come back soon."

"Mm, that’s good."

...

In the month after Jian Dan left Greece, she was particularly busy, busy enough to shed weight rapidly, with a constant poor appetite, vomiting whatever she ate, worried her body couldn’t take it, she didn’t dare take medicines recklessly, and could only tough it out.

Occasionally accompanied by high fevers.

Finally, after being busy for a while, she had time to video call with Lai Wei. The moment Lai Wei saw Jian Dan through the video, she was completely shocked, looking at Jian Dan with pity, "What have you been doing, lost so much weight, is the academic pressure that intense?

With your intelligence, you wouldn’t be battered to this extent, right!"

Jian Dan tried hard to put on a smile, full of fatigue, "Weiwei, I feel like I’m going crazy lately, so busy it’s like I’m floating, also constantly unwell, vomiting and fever, have I caught some terminal illness? If I write a will, what should I leave you to feel smug about?"

Lai Wei practically wanted to reach through the video to give her a lesson.

But seeing her weak appearance, she was also quite worried.

"Why not see a doctor?"

Jian Dan laughed, "So busy there’s no time, the time’s too tight, I can only slightly mistreat myself, your Hai En isn’t home?"

"Mm, he went out to buy groceries, I’m cooking at home, are you really okay?

Your mental state looks terrible, and you’re particularly out of it, have you finally finished your work?"

Jian Dan nodded, "This stretch is finally done, so I’m video calling you, otherwise how would I have time to chat with you? How about you? How have you been lately?"
