A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 214 I feel like I've been here before.

Zhou Tong didn't actually feel too hungry, but she was still human after all, and even if the issue of lifespan was resolved, she still needed to eat.

However, she wasn't too keen on Zhou Hanzhang's suggestion. "I still want to eat roast duck, it tastes best hot. You call that girl in first, I'll draw some blood from her, and then it'll be dinner time in a little while, then we can just go to the restaurant to eat."

Zhou Tong just wanted to draw Jiang Mingyun's blood and see if she could analyze anything before dinner.

"Alright, call that girl in first. By the way, people in ancient times never had their blood drawn, so you need to explain that to her first, so as not to scare her."

Zhou Tong specifically instructed that she wasn't afraid of scaring people, but mainly worried that if she did, the person wouldn't cooperate, which would cause a lot of trouble during the research.

Zhou Hanzhang naturally knew this as well, so he nodded and went to the bookstore.

She thought Jiang Mingyun would be reading, but to her surprise, she was indeed holding a book, though she wasn't reading it at all. She was sitting at a small table, and Xiao Ba was making her some flower tea. She covered her face with the book, seemingly sleeping.

The bookstore was getting busier by now, but the only sound was the rustling of pages turning, which explained why Jiang Mingyun was able to sleep.

Zhou Hanzhang walked to her side and called softly, "Mingyun?"

Jiang Mingyun then slowly came to her senses, "Ah~ are you guys done chatting?"

Zhou Hanzhang hummed in agreement and sat down next to her.

Xiao Ba took the opportunity to pour her a cup of flower tea as well.

"Well, there's something I need to tell you."

Jiang Mingyun had just woken up, her face still a little flushed, making her look especially adorable. She asked in a sweet voice, "What's up?"

Zhou Hanzhang recalled what Jiang Mingyun had said to her before, and she really couldn't understand how those people could be so cruel as to treat her so badly.

Even if there's no love, shouldn't there be some compassion?

Having spent time with Jiang Mingyun, she felt even more that he was a kind-hearted person. Even after experiencing such terrible things, he could still maintain his sincerity, which was truly remarkable.

Many reborn people eventually become unrecognizable, turning into complete revenge machines.

Although Jiang Mingyun wanted revenge, she wasn't too obsessed with it and was able to follow her own pace.

"Come with me."

She first led Jiang Mingyun to the inner room, and after sitting her on the stone bench in the courtyard, she slowly said, "Zhou Tong's research requires extracting blood from you."

Jiang Mingyun showed no surprise or objection, asking, "How do you extract it? How much do you need? Is it cut open on my hand and allowed to flow out?"

After saying that, she pulled a sharp dagger from her bosom, pulled the handle open, and a flash of cold light passed before Zhou Hanzhang's eyes. "Where to cut?"

It looks like he's about to stab himself in the back at any moment.

Zhou Hanzhang was startled and quickly grabbed her hand. "It's not a knife. Put this dagger away first. Zhou Tong has special blood-taking tools."

She was so startled that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, that's fine."

Jiang Mingyun put the dagger away and returned it to her bosom. Zhou Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"You sit down first, I'll call her out."

Zhou Hanzhang walked up to Zhou Tong's laboratory and knocked on the door. "Zhou Tong? Ming Yun is here."

Zhou Hanzhang heard a commotion inside, and then he heard Zhou Tong's voice, "Wait a moment."

Zhou Tong seemed to tidy up inside for a while before opening the door.

When the door opened, Zhou Hanzhang was startled by her.

"What the heck, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Tong's once smooth hair was now all sticking up, and her whole body looked as black as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Ugh, don't even mention it, I'm almost driven crazy by those little specks of light from you."

Zhou Hanzhang wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that there was a burnt smell accompanying Zhou Tong's words.

Just as she was having doubts, Zhou Tong suddenly coughed violently, as if she was coughing up her lungs.

"what happened?"

"Those light spots of yours are completely out of control, so rebellious! When I first put them on the testing table, they were flying everywhere. I thought of a way to keep them on the table and observe them through the microscope, but who knew they would spontaneously combust!!!"

Zhou Tong was furious. She pressed her hair down hard with one hand and occasionally exhaled a puff of smoke.

She looked utterly miserable, but Zhou Hanzhang found it inexplicably funny and couldn't help but laugh.

This made Zhou Tong even angrier. "You're still laughing!!!"

Zhou Hanzhang quickly covered his mouth, "I'm so sorry, it's really, really..."

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

She immediately clutched her stomach, squatted on the ground, and laughed her heart out.

When I got up, I saw that Zhou Tong's face was even darker. "Do you want to go wash your face first?"

Zhou Tong slammed the door shut and tidied herself up inside before finally coming out looking presentable.

"Have all the light spots self-destructed now?"

Zhou Hanzhang was still very concerned about this research. What if all the light spots self-destructed? Wouldn't he have to cooperate with her to do it again?

"Yeah, but it's amazing. Even though they exploded and messed me up like this, they just reassembled themselves after the explosion, and I put them back into the bottle."

Zhou Tong gestured towards the bottle with her chin, "But the re-gathered light spots seem a little different from before. I haven't had time to study them in detail yet, and you've already come knocking on the door."

Zhou Hanzhang glanced at the sky and realized it was almost dinner time. "Why don't you draw blood from Mingyun first? You didn't eat much at noon, and it's almost lunchtime. We'll go eat after we finish the blood draw, and then you can come back and work on the project."

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as she did, Zhou Tong felt her stomach growling.

"Okay. Tell her to come in."

"Aren't you afraid she'll see what's in your lab?"

"Don't you think she's trustworthy? As long as we don't let her know we're from the future, it's fine. I made these things myself anyway, so it doesn't matter."

"That's fine."

Zhou Hanzhang called out in Jiang Mingyun's direction, "Mingyun."

Jiang Mingyun quickly ran up to them. She had just seen Zhou Hanzhang smiling at Zhou Tong, and she was itching to see more, but Zhou Tong was blocking the view from the doorway, so she couldn't see clearly.

Zhou Tong has tidied herself up, but she still looks a bit comical, and I burst out laughing.

Zhou Tong's face darkened again, but since she wasn't familiar with Jiang Mingyun, she couldn't vent her anger on her. She could only say with a dark face, "Come in for a blood test."

Jiang Mingyun still retained the upbringing of a well-bred young lady. Seeing that Zhou Tong's face had darkened, she composed herself and refrained from laughing at her further.

But as soon as she stepped into Zhou Tong's laboratory and saw the unfamiliar equipment, she frowned and turned to Zhou Hanzhang, "Brother Hanzhang, I feel like I've been here before."
