Xu Yi could tell she really wanted to help. He rubbed his eyebrows and faced the girl seriously. "My mother just has a small cold. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
He paused and explained, "I'm not being polite."
Qiao Nian met his gaze and saw he was serious. She turned away and said, "Then you don't have to come to the laboratory for the next few days. I'll help you apply for leave from the dean and the rest. Stay at home and accompany Auntie."
Xu Yi looked at her thin shoulders. He knew she had always wanted to break through that complicated experiment. He opened his mouth and was about to say that he could hold on a little longer.
Turning around and seeing he was still there, Qiao Nian stared at him in surprise before remembering something. "Wait for me."
She went to the locker and took out a transparent glass bottle containing seven or eight brandless white pills from her shoulder bag.
