As Tianci finished drawing out the blood from Xiaoyun's arm, he finally decided to ask the question on his mind.
"What are all these vials for?"
"You'll be leaving soon. So I thought I'd need to stockpile some of it in case you don't come back."
"You serious?" Xiaoyun questioned again, looking back at her in disbelief after hearing her answer.
"Mhm... What are you looking at me like that for?"
"There's still like two and a half months before I leave. Isn't this just way too early to stockpile something like this?"
The answer made Tianci freeze for a second. But she quickly recovered as she took off her gloves and threw them into the bin.
"You got a point, but too late... Anyway, you can go now."
As the scientists began exiting the room with the cart full of blood vials, Xiaoyun remained seated as he stared back at her right in the eyes.
"You still haven't told me what the blood is used for."
"Do you really want to learn about science?"
"I got nothing else better to do."
