âYou play the piano very well. I really like your piano playing, so I want to be friends with you,â she replied.
Suddenly, she felt like there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. âUnfortunately, Iâm not interested in being friends with you,â he replied.
âJust as ordinary friends!â she said.
âNot interested,â Grace replied in the same tone.
âWhat are you interested in then?â she asked.
âDo you want to know?â He raised an eyebrow.
She nodded her head, not sure why, but she had a feeling that the person in front of her was Lawrence.
So she wanted to know more about him, to find out if he really was Lawrence!
âAlright then, follow me.â He said this and walked ahead without waiting for her.
She was surprised by his words, but she didnât hesitate and quickly followed him.
She looked surprised at what the other person said, but without hesitation, she quickly followed him.
Half an hour later, Jasper stood at the entrance of a chemical laboratory. She didnât expect him to bring her here.
âWhy did you bring me here?â she asked nervously.
âIf there are any experiments that need to be done, I come here,â he replied.
âBut doesnât the school have a laboratory?â she asked. Stanford Universityâs chemistry department is strong, so they naturally have good laboratories.
âBut Iâm only a freshman now, even if I can use it, I can only do some basic things, not like here,â Roger said. âDo you want to go in?â
âOh, okay. But can I go in?â she asked. After all, as far as she knew, outsiders were generally not allowed to enter this kind of chemistry laboratory.
âIf I take you in, there wonât be any problem, but you need to put on the lab coat first. And after you go in, donât touch anything randomly, because if you accidentally touch something, you may lose your life.
So, do you still want to go in?â he said in a flat tone, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Jasper hesitated for a moment, looked at the face in front of her, and finally took a deep breath and said, âI want to go in, and I will strictly follow what you said.â
Upon hearing this, Rogerâs eyes flickered slightly, and he directly took Jasper to change into the clothes for entering the laboratory.
When the two of them walked inside, Jasper only saw Roger skillfully mixing and adjusting different chemicals on the operating table, performing various operations. She, on the other hand, couldnât understand anything at all, as if she was watching scientists conducting scientific research in a TV drama.
Even many proprietary terms on the reagent bottles were mostly incomprehensible to her. After all, she was good at humanities, but when it came to science, especially chemistry, she was just average.
Every time, she barely understood anything.
However, when she saw the label on one of the transparent bottles, she stared at it for a long time.
âIsnât thallium supposed to be colorless and odorless? Why is this one a white particle?â she asked curiously.
âBecause itâs currently preserved in paraffin wax,â he said.
âBut I didnât expect you to know that itâs colorless and tasteless.â
âI know about it because of a well-known case of poisoning in the news. Itâs a long-term process of adding it to water for people to drink, and ordinary people wonât even notice it, but in the end it will cause poisoning and intellectual degradation, and itâs irreversible!â Jasper said.
