The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 34

A loud “boom” echoed in Qin Huai’s mind, her blood rushing in one direction through her veins. She felt the searing heat of her blood, making her entire body feel hot and flushed, as if she were about to be steamed.

Qin Huai wanted to snatch the pen before it was handed over and throw it out the window, but that was just a thought.

Because Shen Zhi’s dark and clear pupils were like a swamp, and she was sinking into it, unable to pull away.

It wasn’t until the Alpha’s hand reached over, its palm lines gradually enlarging in her sight, that she quietly blinked and turned to continue the experiment.

The descriptions of the pen around them became increasingly exaggerated, and laughter echoed in the quiet laboratory.

Qin Huai tightly gripped the cold test tube, taking a deep breath, trying to lower the temperature of her palms. However, the next second, the Alpha’s breath fanned her earlobe.

It was a tingling, numbing sensation, like an electric shock, making even her scalp feel strange.

The Alpha didn’t know if she noticed Qin Huai’s discomfort, her tone containing a hint of furtiveness, “Senior, this is the lab, you should restrain yourself.”

“Restrain what?”

“Your gaze is too revealing.” Shen Zhi pursed her lips and whispered in her ear, “I’ll misunderstand.”

Qin Huai: “…”

“Then do you think at this current distance, I won’t misunderstand?”

After speaking, Qin Huai stiffly moved her neck, lowering her gaze, and under the Alpha’s questioning look, she measured the distance between the two of them with her eyes. The lab bench wasn’t big, more than enough for one person, but insufficient for two. The sink was longer than the bench, forming a right angle with the edge of the table. Shen Zhi’s midsection was caught in the right angle, her back lazily bent, extremely close to Qin Huai.

The Alpha did not restrain herself, sidelong glancing at Qin Huai’s red earlobe, and whispered against the soft flesh, “Feel free to misunderstand. It means exactly what you think in your heart.”

The only thing in my heart is the intention to kick you out.

Qin Huai thought grimly, unable to continue the experiment. She might as well leave the mess to the culprit.

She took off the cumbersome goggles, leaving two shallow marks on both sides of her nose bridge. She quickly rolled up her gloves and tossed them into the trash can. Before turning around, she stated stiffly, “Clean up the table.”

Shen Zhi immediately nodded, her eyes flashing with joy.

As if knowing what the Alpha was about to say, Qin Huai turned her back and gave her last instruction, “Don’t text me. Don’t follow me.”

Then, she pushed past the deeply engaged senior students who were discussing the matter and left abruptly amidst everyone’s silence.

Qin Huai didn’t leave because of what Shen Zhi said; she was simply stuck at a bottleneck in her experiment. No matter how much she controlled the dosage, the fundamental error couldn’t be fixed. She could only go to the library to check materials and calm down first.

It was a weekday, and there weren’t many people studying in the library.

Qin Huai randomly found an empty seat by the window, turned off her phone, opened a computer document, and focused on reviewing every detail of the experiment.

The experimental process was always tedious and required repeated consultation of countless data. A slight error in the experiment would necessitate scrapping the old results and starting over. But Qin Huai had always enjoyed this; she loved the process of checking data and the repeated re-inference in the lab. These processes were complex yet simple, only requiring her to devote all her time and energy, with little emotional consumption.

After an entire afternoon, Qin Huai finally found some useful information. She rubbed her sore neck and hurried off to eat.

When Qin Huai was busy, the only purpose of eating was to keep from being hungry. She quickly finished her meal and rushed back to the library.

It was after ten o’clock at night.

When Liu Nian came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair, Qin Huai was sitting at the desk with the lamp on. Her hair was simply tied in a bun, the wisps tucked behind her ears, her gaze lowered to the notebook resting on the keyboard. She was frowning, one hand supporting her forehead, the other holding a pen that she rolled back and forth. The white screen illuminated the Omega’s face, making it appear particularly pale. Her dark eyelashes fluttered with each blink, making her seem exceptionally quiet.

Even though Liu Nian had known Qin Huai for many years, it didn’t stop her from being momentarily stunned by certain scenes of her.

“You’re still not done?” Liu Nian walked to Qin Huai’s desk, wiping her hair.

Qin Huai had been busy ever since she returned to the dorm with her computer and notebook, the entire time only getting up to drink water or use the bathroom. Liu Nian stopped in front of her computer and squinted at the screen.

The document layout was dense, filled with tiny, ant-sized characters, which looked very straining on the eyes just by looking at them.

Liu Nian scrolled the mouse for a moment, then suddenly felt something was wrong.

Qin Huai’s current thesis was about the side effects of inhibitors, but the content mentioned in the entire literature now had nothing to do with side effects.

She paused her action, looked at the Omega leaning on the chair, and asked, “This isn’t your thesis reference material, is it? Why are you reading this?”

Qin Huai tilted her head, staring at the ceiling to relieve the discomfort in her neck, “It’s for a senior in the lab.”

“Is your senior exploiting you?” Liu Nian asked in surprise.

“No.” Qin Huai sat up straight, uncorked her water bottle, and took a sip, her voice soft, “There’s a junior who joined the lab and is following her. That senior isn’t teaching the person properly.”

Liu Nian’s advisor also had freshmen assigned to the lab for learning, but that junior wasn’t following her, so she didn’t know much about it. She straightened up, using the towel wrapped around her hair ends to nod.

“Indeed.” Liu Nian thought of the junior who was being constantly run ragged in her lab, then slapped Qin Huai’s shoulder with a “slap,” “Wait a minute. What does it have to do with you how your senior handles her student?”

It’s a relationship based on false promises.

Qin Huai remembered the late night she pulled today and wished she could push all the blame onto the self who had agreed to it.

“Why did you agree? And stay up late organizing so many documents? Have you finished your own experiment?”

Qin Huai’s mouth twitched slightly, and she started woodenly trying to get rid of Liu Nian, “Your hair is dripping water and getting my desk wet. Go blow-dry your hair quickly.”

Liu Nian looked at the single, negligible drop of water on the metal desktop and silently gave a thumbs-up in her heart.

At two in the morning, Liu Nian woke up to go to the bathroom. She pulled back the curtain, and Qin Huai was still sitting in front of the computer, with a desk lamp lit and a cup of bitter coffee nearby.

Liu Nian climbed down from the top bunk, rubbing her swollen eyes, “Huai Huai, do you know who the last person I saw burning the midnight oil for someone else was?”

“Your ex-Alpha?” Qin Huai tossed out a random answer, her fingers pausing briefly before continuing to type on the keyboard.

“Yes, but unfortunately, the person wasn’t me.” Liu Nian thought of her failed relationship, “When I found out about it, I immediately broke up with him, so”

“So what?”

Liu Nian gossiped, “So, Huai Huai, are you dating a younger Alpha? I’m telling you, you can’t spoil these younger ones, or they’ll try to walk all over you later.”

Qin Huai selected a paragraph in the document, copied and pasted it, “Not a poor student.”

“?” Liu Nian was startled out of her sleep, “You really have an Alpha? What type? A shy little sister or a passionate little vixen?”

What kind of questions are these?

Qin Huai frowned, clicked the mouse to save the document, and opened a new one.

Her mouth moved, but she suddenly stopped right before saying Shen Zhi’s name. She blinked, her eyes flickering, and she palely covered up the truth, “I don’t have an Alpha, I’m just helping out because I’m free.”

“See if you even believe that yourself.” Liu Nian dropped the last line and left.

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, picked up the coffee, and took a sip. A dry, bitter taste spread in her mouth. She picked up her phone and checked WeChat.

The Alpha, who she hadn’t pulled out of do-not-disturb mode, hadn’t sent a single word today.

Qin Huai slammed her phone down. The coffee was so bitter that her brow furrowed tightly.

The next afternoon, Qin Huai, looking tired, stood in front of her advisor’s desk, holding a large pile of documents.

The red solid wood desk was messy, with file folders stacked at least twenty centimeters high. The blue plastic covers were stained with shallow water marks.

Qin Huai glanced at it indifferently, then continued to hold the heavy documents, standing quietly in front of the advisor.

“Are you here again to help Shen Zhi apply to switch people?” The advisor put down her pen and turned to look at the stubborn Omega, “Bringing so many documents, are you planning to use these to kill me?”

“Hao Yan is overwhelmed right now, and she doesn’t have the capacity to properly mentor a student.” Qin Huai placed the documents she was holding on the stool, “These are the reference materials I found for her this morning. As long as she agrees to release the student, these are hers.”

The advisor laughed in annoyance, “Are you so confident that all of this is correct?”

Qin Huai nodded. Despite being up all night, her eyes weren’t unfocused, “I am sure. Her experiment isn’t difficult; it’s just that she herself isn’t diligent. The preliminary preparation work wasn’t sufficient, and a hasty start can only lead to a hasty conclusion.”

Qin Huai wasn’t wrong. Hao Yan was impatient and not steady in her work. The advice she gave was almost the same as telling her exactly how to look for materials. Hao Yan verbally agreed but still messed everything up.

The advisor had great faith in Qin Huai’s abilities, but after all, she was only a first-year graduate student and didn’t consider things thoroughly. But as soon as she opened the file, all doubts vanished.

The white A4 paper was filled with small Song typeface characters. Every line and paragraph was clearly annotated, key content was underlined in red pen, and the overall presentation was simple and clear.

Reading such a document was a true pleasure. The advisor closed it with lingering satisfaction, her eyes almost overflowing with approval, “The organization is quite good. But I still have one question.”

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, “What question?”

“Since you are so keen on poaching Shen Zhi, why don’t you mentor her yourself?”

Qin Huai was silent for a while. In the relaxed atmosphere of the office, her heart clenched again, just as it had the day she heard about Shen Zhi’s childhood engagement.

She frowned, a trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she finally gave a cold, detached answer, “I hate trouble.”

Coming out of the office, as she passed the corner, Qin Huai subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the lab. That spot was long empty, the white floor tiles reflecting the cold building. She suppressed the irritating emotions in her heart, stepped on the floor, and went to change clothes.

There was only one white coat hanging on the rack. Qin Huai put it on and subconsciously reached into the pocket.

Her palm touched something cold and hard.

She didn’t need to guess what it was. She opened the locker, threw the pen and her phone inside, and replaced it with a different pen.

After yesterday’s interaction, Shen Zhi had completely blended into the lab environment. Qin Huai could hear a lot of lively teasing as she stood at the door.

“Shen Zhi, can you wipe mine too?”

“Shen Zhi, my table is also a mess, come clean it up.”

Why is she so fond of being bossed around?

Qin Huai frowned, pushing the door open with some force.

Everyone in the lab turned to look at the entrance.

Qin Huai’s face was cold, her gaze lingering on everyone’s faces for three seconds, her eyes showing a premonition of anger. She walked around and finally stopped in front of her own lab bench.

Huh?

Why is that Alpha holding a rag?

Why is her lab bench wet?

Qin Huai blinked very slowly, remaining silent for a moment. Under everyone’s surprised gaze, she used the phrase their advisor often said, “Looking at me like this, do you want me to help you?”

Everyone: “.”

So the lab seemed to fall into a strange atmosphere. Everyone “swooshed” and turned around, busy with their own tasks.

Qin Huai walked to her lab bench, touched the surface with her fingertip, and asked, “I told you to do the experiment with me, what are you doing?”

The Alpha pursed her lips, tightly gripping the rag.

Perhaps her tone was too strict, so the Beta senior tried to smooth things over, “Junior, Shen Zhi just wiped your table over and over again.”

Qin Huai gave him a cold look, and the Beta immediately made a zipping motion over his lips.

Qin Huai retracted her gaze. The Alpha, who was even taller than her, suddenly bit her lip, her eyes sparkling as if filled with water, “Senior, don’t be angry.”

“What’s there for me to be angry about? Whether you learn anything or not has little to do with me.” Qin Huai thought of the night she spent up late, her expression slightly annoyed, “Cleaning and tidying up the lab bench are not what you should be doing. Remember your mission here.”

The Alpha nodded sheepishly, then reached out and tugged at Qin Huai’s white coat pocket.

The movement was very slow.

“Senior, I understand all your good intentions.” The Alpha raised her face, her eyes very clear as she said, “My mom asked us to go home for dinner together this week. Are you going?”

In the distance, the Beta senior smiled faintly, Heh heh, go home to show off your affection.
