Chapter213
I don’t know if it’s because she didn’t sleep well last night, but she was lying on the table, staring quietly at the little white mouse in the glass tank.
As I was watching, she fell asleep without me even realizing it.
When Aedan came in, she was fast asleep and didn’t show any signs of being disturbed.
It’s already late, it’s dark outside.
Aedan was busy all day, wasn’t planning on coming up originally.
But when he passed by, saw the lights on in the lab, he knew it must be Iris inside.
Pushing the door open, I saw Iris sleeping soundly on the lab bench. Barely visible, a smile tugged at his lips, and his cool gaze softened in an instant.
He gently closed the door, then slowly walked towards Iris.
In order to prevent bacteria from growing, the temperature in the laboratory is always very low, usually kept at 18 degrees or below.
At the moment, Iris was wearing a white coat with only a thin shirt inside.
Aedan took off his suit jacket and carefully draped it over Iris. Then, he stared at her peaceful sleeping face in a daze.
She looked good, with smooth and delicate skin like the finest cream,

as if a gentle poke would break it, radiating a healthy and attractive pink.
In the bright light of the laboratory, the fine fuzz on her face was clear as day. Acdan even saw that the fine fuzz seemed to sway with her breath.
It looks like a ripe peach.
And her two lips, shining with water light, the color is desirable but not gaudy.
As he was watching, he couldn’t help but lower his head and wanted to taste the delicious peach.
Just as his lips were about five or six centimeters away from Iris’s face, Iris’s eyelids suddenly fluttered, as if she was about to wake up.
Aedan froze in his tracks, then quickly straightened his back.
However, Iris didn’t wake up.
She was probably dreaming, made a soft “hmm” sound, then went back to sleep.
Aedan looked at her, feeling a sense of guilt and nervousness he had
–
never experienced before, as if the person he was just now was acting like a thief.
How could he do that?
If you like someone, just be open about it, why sneak around?
His fingers twiddled by his side, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and his gaze finally shifted away from Iris to the three little white mice in the glass tank in front of him.

Three little white mice, two were still very active, while the other one was just sitting in the corner looking all droopy.
Acdan took another look at the notes Iris had made before, then picked up her pen and helped her write.
When Iris woke up, she saw Aedan standing next to her, hunched over and carefully observing three little white mice, while diligently taking
notes.
“Prof. Steele…”
She squinted for three or four seconds before fully realizing, then got up and called for help.
“Woke up.”
Aedan glanced at her, with a slight smile on his lips and a gentle smile on his face.
“Sorry,” Iris slapped her forehead, “I shouldn’t have fallen asleep.”
“Didn’t sleep well last night?” Aedan asked while still observing and taking notes.
“Thank goodness, I don’t know how I fell asleep,” Iris said, getting up.
As he stood up, Aedan’s suit jacket slipped off.
She quickly caught it and took a look.
It was definitely Aedan’s.
“Thanks for your jacket, why don’t you put it on?” she said.
“You put it there, I’ll wear it later,” said Aedan without even looking
