Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Dreaming of Lu in Danger_1

Quite a few passing research staff couldn’t help but stop in their tracks when they caught the scent of the cooking, curious to see who was behind the meal. Upon seeing that it was Lu Tingli, everyone was stunned for a moment, not expecting that a big guy like him would actually know how to cook.

And to be able to create such a tantalizing aroma to boot.

"Captain Lu, you can cook?" someone blurted out, unable to hold back.

Lu Tingli turned his head and said to the person, "No, it’s not me. It’s the meal my childhood friend, who grew up with me, made. I’m just heating it up."

"Hey, I knew a big man like him couldn’t possibly know how to cook." The person had an epiphany and then hungrily eyed the tasty-looking food in Lu Tingli’s pot. "However, Captain Lu, your childhood friend’s cooking smells so good, it must be delicious. Captain Lu, why don’t you share a little with me?"

"Dream on." Lu Tingli shot them a cold glare. "If you want to eat, have your own wife make it!"

"Hahaha, you heard him, go have your wife cook it!" Upon hearing this, the audience immediately joined in the teasing, dispersing with a sense of tact. Lu Tingli held a higher rank than them and was not someone they could afford to offend easily.

Once they had gone some distance, someone couldn’t help but sigh, "Why is Captain Lu’s childhood friend making him so much food? Could it be that the two of them are secretly dating?"

"Could be."

"Whichever girl has gone blind enough to fancy our Captain Lu, who is cold-hearted, stern, meticulous, and a man of few words!"

In the research institute, Lu Tingli was an extremely stern and strict person who couldn’t tolerate the slightest mistake, so if anyone did poorly, they would be immediately trained thoroughly by him, and he did so without using a single swear word.

Otherwise, it was various physical punishments.

Which made everyone quite afraid of him—just terrifying.

"Actually, Captain Lu isn’t as bad as you guys say. He just has a really bad temper, but he’s handsome. Nowadays, young girls all go for looks."

"Alas, the world has gone to the dogs, the world has gone to the dogs!"

The crowd chattered on and on.

Lu Tingli, who happened to overhear them: "..."

Heh, a bunch of fools; did they really think his attitude towards Ningxing was the same as towards them?

What a joke!

Did they really think he was a sentimental fool just because he had never fallen in love?

Lu Tingli sneered to himself, thinking that during the next physical training session, he would make these backstabbers who spoke ill of him behind his back run a few extra laps.

The researchers not only had to focus on their scientific work but also needed various physical training every day to ensure they maintained a healthy body.

After Lu Tingli disappeared off the grid, Xia Ningxing found herself feeling strange, with his face involuntarily popping up in her mind.

When eating.

And even when it was time to sleep.

In fact, it wasn’t only Xia Ningxing who thought about Lu Tingli; he, too, thought of her.

The night was pitch-black, and the whole research institute lay in utter silence.

In the wee hours at 2 am, when people were deep in sleep, the ground suddenly started shaking without warning, and within seconds, the entire research institute and surrounding buildings collapsed with a thunderous roar.

Screams were heard one after another.

It was as if it was the end of the world.

Lu Tingli had reacted before the earthquake struck. Agile as a carp, he leapt from the bed, attempting to run outside, but it was too late.

The roof caved in; he was directly buried under the darkness, unconscious, his fate unknown...

No!

No!

Xia Ningxing, who dreamt of this scene, was grasping the blanket tightly, sweating profusely. When she opened her eyes and realized it was just a dream, she let out a sigh of relief.

No, this wasn’t just a dream—it was a premonition!
