Chapter 3: Chapter 2: I Am No Longer Interested in You

It wasn't time to finish work yet, so there was no one at the educated youth dormitory.

Song Chu followed her memories and helped Gu Yue to his room. "Shall we talk?"

She wasn't afraid that Gu Yue would do anything irrational; after all, this matter was too bizarre, and no one would believe it even if he told them.

Even if he wanted to shout it out or suddenly harbored malicious intent, she wasn't afraid.

She now possessed an extra burst of strength, and combined with the combat skills from her past life, it wouldn't be difficult for her to make Gu Yue suffer an "accidental" death.

It was just that this was a peaceful era, not the lawless apocalypse, so she would rather avoid doing such things if she could.

Most importantly, her sixth sense told her that only if this person stayed alive could she retrieve the other half of the laboratory.

Gu Yue was also prepared to talk to Song Chu.

"Help me over to sit down first." He pointed to the bed in the room; his foot hurt from standing.

"Fine." Song Chu helped him over.

Gu Yue sat down, looked up, and calmly said to her, "I know what you want to ask."

On the way back, he had already studied the things that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

Song Chu raised an eyebrow. "It seems you really did discover that thing."

Gu Yue was a smart man. "Did it appear in you, too?"

"It didn't just appear in me; it was mine to begin with," Song Chu said assertively.

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any proof?"

"It's a laboratory. Inside, it doesn't just contain experimental equipment, but also some semi-finished experiments."

Song Chu looked at him with a half-smile. "Do you need me to list them out one by one?"

Gu Yue's eyes darkened, and he looked at her with a hint of inquiry. "That won't be necessary. But if it's your thing, why did it end up with me?"

Hearing her speak so logically, it didn't seem like she was making it up.

Song Chu shrugged. "I don't know. I suspect it might be because we were buried together."

She guessed that when her soul arrived here, it caused some kind of magnetic field fluctuation. Since there happened to be someone nearby, the laboratory that followed her was affected, became unstable, split in two, and half of it ended up with this person.

"Then what do you want? And how am I supposed to return it to you?" Gu Yue was very curious and interested in the thing in his mind.

Song Chu thought for a moment and said, "I can't take it back for the time being. I'll tell you when I think of a way."

"Is this laboratory usable?" Gu Yue felt that Song Chu was very familiar with this thing, so he asked.

Song Chu raised an eyebrow. This guy was indeed high-IQ; he was smart and reacted quickly. "I can use it, at least. I don't know if you can."

She didn't know why the laboratory followed her soul here after the research institute exploded. She had sensed it earlier and found she could enter it and browse the books inside.

Gu Yue was half-skeptical. "Is that so?"

Song Chu didn't waste words with him. She used her mental energy to focus on him and entered his half of the laboratory.

However, she discovered that to enter Gu Yue's half, she had to be within half a meter of him.

Gu Yue's body stiffened. He sensed a figure appearing in the laboratory, as if this person had stepped into his very soul. This completely overturned his understanding of reality.

But he quickly calmed down. "Alright, I believe you."

"But why should I cooperate with you?"

Then, he asked with a meaningful smile, "By the way, I seem to be able to see the things in your mind, too. It's a library, right? Does this mean I can actually enter that, too?"

It was a miraculous perception. Only when the things in his mind and Song Chu's mind were combined did it feel like a complete laboratory.

He was also curious about why Song Chu had such a thing and whether she knew how to use the items inside, but now wasn't the time to ask, as they weren't exactly close yet.

Song Chu was somewhat surprised that this guy could see her half. "Perhaps."

Since the thing was with him, and she could enter his, he would likely be able to enter hers in the future. After all, this thing still relied on his mental energy to be maintained.

"Then can you let me read the books in the library?" Gu Yue was even more interested in the library in her half.

Song Chu pondered for a moment. "Fine, let's cooperate for now."

She didn't use a tone of negotiation, as if she were certain he wouldn't refuse. "I'll let you read the books, and in the future, if I can retrieve the laboratory, you must cooperate in returning it to me."

Gu Yue didn't hesitate. "Deal!"

If it were truly as Song Chu said, and this was originally her property, he naturally wouldn't occupy it; he wasn't that shameless or low-class.

He quickly added, "But you can't threaten me anymore. And what you said in the back mountain today cannot be leaked out either."

If Song Chu didn't agree, he had ways to deal with her.

Song Chu curled her lip. "I'm not even interested in you anymore; is there any need to use that to threaten you?"

"Then it's settled?" Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the current calm and rational Song Chu was much harder to deal with than the infatuated Song Chu from before.

Could it be that she was just pretending before? That didn't seem quite right either!

"I'm leaving." Song Chu had her answer and didn't want to stay any longer.

Gu Yue thought about how he couldn't walk due to his injured foot and wouldn't be able to work in the fields for ten days or half a month, making it troublesome to get food.

So, he thought for a moment and asked, "Could I trouble you to help bring me food for ten days? I'll provide the grain coupons and money."

Since they were already cooperating, there was no need for him to be coy. It just so happened that he wanted to learn more about the things in his mind from Song Chu.

"Fine, I'll bring you dinner tonight." Song Chu also wanted to study more on how to take back her half of the laboratory.

Gu Yue nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Song!"

On the way home, Song Chu sorted through the original owner's memories and felt a strong obsession that she hoped would be fulfilled.

She sighed softly and said in her heart, "Since you gave me your body and memories, as an exchange, I promise you that from today on, I will treat your family as my own, help them live a good life, and help you restore your reputation in the village."

Sure enough, after she said this in her heart, that obsession vanished, and she felt much lighter and more at ease.

A quick note: Why does the male lead have the other half of the spatial laboratory, and why did I set it up this way? The main point is for him to serve the female lead, and this half of the space will eventually return to the female lead. The male lead won't hoard it, so don't worry, everyone~~~
