Chapter 195 - No time for friendship

XG 195 - No time for friendship

Wong Xue Guo accidentally overheard the conversation between two female researchers when she walked Miu back to the lab. The waiting list had to be pushed back as only Woojin can activate the Alpha gene now, and also because they were running low on food supplies. Even if they had started growing vegetables, they still need time to grow.

"Excuse me, may I interrupt?"

"No! Not at all, Miss Wong!"

Lips twitching, Wong Xue Guo wondered just how well-known her face was. "May I know if there's someone named Nana on the waiting list? She's a friend and I want to offer her some support when it's her turn."

Since Nana wanted to activate her gene, Wong Xue Guo thought of helping her by pushing her name up the list.

"Nana? Please hold on a second..." the lady researcher scanned through the name list. "There's no Nana on the list."

"Strange, I remember she had signed up." Did Smoker do something and pull out his girlfriend's name?

"Maybe she's among the people that are pulled out of the list! We had to remove some names when they don't want Woojin... er, they no longer want to activate their gene. There are also some names we had to remove due to their health not reaching the requirement line."

"Is that so? What a pity... Thank you for taking the time to entertain my request."

"This is just a small matter. Um..." The female researcher looked uncertain about whether to continue, but her colleague had already given her the eye signal to speak up. "You should be more careful about Yoon Binna."

"Yoon Binna?" Wong Xue Guo had never heard that name before. It was uncommon to forget or not know a person's name even if she recognize their face.

"She had been eying Chen Yibo and started to make her move recently."

Wong Xue Guo was glad for the information, and a bit flattered that these two ladies supported her and Chen Yibo's seedling stage romance.

But who on earth is Yoon Binna? If she had been making her moves on Chen Yibo recently, why had she not seen this person?

Could it be Yoon Binna only approached Chen Yibo when she was not around? Thanks to the facade of 'one shot', she had been apart from Chen Yibo's side longer than usual.

"Yerim, do you know Yoon Binna?" Wong Xue Guo could not resist asking in the middle of her Korean lessons.

"Yoon Binna? She's a laboratory and attendance supervisor. Why would you ask about her?"

"Someone mentioned her to me in passing. Their tone as they speak of her... Is she being disliked by her colleague?"

"No, not at all. She's just not close to most people."

"It's not bad to prefer our own company, but is there another reason why she isn't close to her colleague?" Yoon Binna's personality might be a factor in not being close to others.

Choi Yerim does not want Yoon Binna to be misunderstood and explained, "Not that I know of. Under my impression, she's not the type to gossip and only has work in mind. After clocking out, she will only have exercise in mind. She follows her daily routine strictly, and that could be too intense for others, I think. Everyone has their own preference and as long as it does not harm others, what does it matter?"

"Do you dislike her?"

"How could that be?" Choi Yerim gasped in shock. Which sentence she had said that implied that?
