Amber eyes are not uncommon in this era. It is now a time of alliance, with no obvious national borders, so mixed heritage is very common, and naturally, eye colours are diverse. Apart from colours like red and green, which are not usually found in humans, black, brown, blue, and yellow are all very common, followed by amber.

Even though there was nothing particularly special about it, at first glance, Zhaoning couldn't help but feel that those eyes were very similar to Shenxi's.

The only thing that stands out is the lack of vitality in these eyes.

The insects they bring for experiments are all dead, and this one is no exception. Fortunately, with the advanced technology nowadays, whether the insects are dead or alive doesn't affect their basic research much.

"Ningning, wake up!" Gao Yan nudged Chaoning forcefully. "What are you thinking about? Does this bug resemble your former lover in any way?"

Chao Ning widened her eyes, "Where do I have any old sweetheart?!"

Gao Yan smiled and said, "Sister, you're no match for me when it comes to matters of love. Alright then, how long will you be staying this time? Let's cook hot pot together in the dormitory tonight?"

"Sure!" Zhong Ning thumbs up in agreement.

The work of dissection cannot be done immediately, so after Chao Ning finished examining his insect, he closed the lid and returned to the laboratory with Gao Yan. Currently, they are researching the secondary differentiation of the insect clan, to corroborate the materials left behind by their predecessors. Although they can only prove up to 95% at the moment, the probability should increase as they gather more experimental sample data.

Since the seniors mentioned achieving 100%, there should still be a possibility of improvement of 3% to 5%. After all, they conduct meticulous research on data. If they claim it to be 100%, the margin of error in the final result shouldn't be too significant. Their estimation might be off by only one per cent at most.

"You've all worked hard these past few days. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask," Zhouning said to his colleagues as they returned to the laboratory.

"Gao Yan nudged Zhao Ning with her elbow and said, 'I won't be polite with you. You and Henry will be responsible for monitoring the data for the last group this week. I need to prepare for my exam. This darned major assignment is killing me.'"

Chao Ning gave Henry a handshake, then said to Gao Yan, "Take care."

Gao Yan harshly rubbed Ning's head aggressively.

Zhao Ning inserted the newly extracted data of the bug tribe into the analysis machine and proceeded to monitor the changes in data together with Henry. They constantly extracted useful values from it and conducted data analysis using variable comparisons. This was a laborious and meticulous task, as once the machine was set in motion, it could not be easily stopped.

By the time this wave of data analysis was over, it was already early morning of the next day.

The machine in front stopped working, and towards Ning, she extracted the remaining analyzed information and put it into a designated recycling container. After that, she stretched comfortably and yawned.

"Henry, stop sleeping and go home to sleep," Chao Ning patted Henry's head.

Henry groggily got up and followed Ning out of the school. Luckily, school gates nowadays were equipped with electronic passwords, eliminating the need for someone to constantly guard them. Those of them who often stayed at school to conduct experiments even had a special privilege card, which allowed them to bypass the gate restrictions when entering or leaving.

They lived not far from the school, just a ten-minute walk away. After they entered the residential area, a black sedan appeared not far from the gate.

The people inside the car spoke to the light brain, saying, "Sir, Chao Ning has already returned to school today and is now entering the residential complex with a man of Western descent. However, judging by their appearance, they should only be classmates."

The person on the other end of the light brain said, "Keep watching closely. If you notice anything unusual about him, immediately bring him back to Gu's house. What is the current stance over at Gu's house?"

The person inside the vehicle said, "It's neither cold nor hot, but at least it goes to Chaoning. When Chaoning returned to school at noon today, he took Gu Xiangnan's private shuttle."

The person on the other side of the light brain said, "Got it, keep watching."

Chao Ning and Henry have already arrived home, while Gao Yan and Chris came back earlier, but it's clear that they are currently experiencing the torment of a major assignment. They are sitting in the living room, engaged in a late-night battle against the deadline.

Upon seeing Zhao Ning, Chris immediately tried to get up and pounce on him. However, before he could reach Zhao Ning, he found his punch being blocked by Zhao Ning's fist. "Don't move, stay away from me, I'm not feeling very well," Zhao Ning said.

Chris worriedly asked, "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Did you catch a cold? Henry, did you slack off again? Ning is our team's favourite, how could you bear to do that?"

Henry looked innocent, "I am too tired... Ningning, are you feeling unwell? You were perfectly fine just a moment ago, how did it happen so suddenly? Ah, what's that smell? Did your pheromones start spreading?"

Chris excitedly sniffed and then disappointedly said, "This is awful, I didn't smell anything."

Gao Yan is an Omega. Even though the ordinary Alpha's pheromones cannot affect her, she can still smell them. "Ning Ning, are you too tired? Hurry back and take a shower to sleep, to avoid an early onset of the sensitive period. Remember to take your suppressants."

Initially, Chao Ning didn't feel that uncomfortable, just extremely tired. Being overly exhausted naturally made him irritable, so when he heard everyone's concern, not only did he not find it comforting, but also a bit grating. He forcefully suppressed this inappropriate emotion and said, "I guess I'm just too tired. I'll go to sleep first, don't stay up too late either."

After saying that, he went straight back to his room.

"Chris regained a worried expression, saying, 'Ning's sensitive period has always been accurate, and the reactions are not usually so intense. This time seems a bit strange. Is Ning's body okay?'"

Gao Yan rolled her eyes and replied, "Your knowledge has gone straight into a dog's belly. Ningning stayed up all night today and she's also in her susceptible period. Isn't it normal for it to come a day or two earlier?"

Henry nodded in agreement.

"Ke Ning's condition..." Chris still couldn't rest assured.

Henry said uncertainly, "Shouldn't it be fine? Even though Ningning's constitution is weak, her medical examination results have all met the qualifying standards."

Gao Yan waved towards the two of them, "Alright, Ningning won't have any problems for the time being, but as for you, Chris, if you can't finish the assignment on time again this time, no one will be in the same group as you in the future. Henry, can you also lend a hand?"

As an experienced translator of Chinese web novels, I can provide you with an English rendition of the given paragraph. However, since you haven't provided any content for me to translate, I won't be able to proceed with the translation. If you could kindly provide the Chinese text, I would be more than happy to assist you in translating it into American English.

Chao Ning quickly took a shower and went back to bed. It's not early now, after all this commotion, it's already almost three-thirty in the morning. Sleeping late and waking up early is annoying. What's even more frustrating is that Chao Ning found that it seems like her sensitive period has come earlier, but the symptoms seem a bit different from before.

Perhaps it's related to his temperament and constitution, but every time the susceptible period arrives, it is not as severe as other Alphas. Both his emotions and pheromone levels have relatively smaller fluctuations. However, this time he felt the undeniable dominance of the susceptible period over his emotions.

"I want to destroy some things. I want to."

So annoying.

Chao Ning closed his eyes tightly, intending to sleep through the discomfort. However, despite the freezing weather, it felt as though he had climbed into a roaring fireplace, and his whole body was engulfed in heat. He tossed and turned on the bed, trying to find a permanently cool spot. Yet, after rummaging through the covers, everywhere felt warmly cozy, rendering the need for heating unnecessary.

He simply turned off the heating and opened the windows.

The chilling wind poured in, bringing a sense of comfort to Chao Ning. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but recall the scenes she witnessed in the courtyard earlier today.

"Darn it, he reacted!"
