Chapter 13

Zenith's claim about pulling an all-nighter for an experiment wasn't a lie.

Although the project had been decided, the timeline was extremely tight.

It was necessary to put in overtime and extra effort.

That being said, it mostly involved staying up late to monitor the changes in the centrifuge.

Repeating the process over and over again.

Not long after, my senior colleague mysteriously called me out, presenting before me a portion of fried chicken.

"I noticed you didn't eat much for dinner, so I ordered some takeout for you."

"Let the junior students cover for a bit, finish eating and then go back."

I smiled, "Why don't we take it inside and share with everyone?"

Zenith shook his head, "I've ordered extra for them, it hasn't arrived yet."

Given his response, I couldn't refuse any further.

The two of us squatted in the corridor of the lab, eating fried chicken, feeling like we were back in our college days.
