Qiao Jing couldn't be bothered with Frank and quickened her steps.
As she passed by John, she deliberately stopped and slowly repeated a phrase he had once said.
"The scenery here is indeed quite. . . nice. . . indeed."
John cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment.
"Professor Qiao, if you're interested, you might consider taking a walk here sometime."
He really hadn't expected Qiao Jing to come out early.
Qiao Jing gave John a fleeting glance and then withdrew her gaze, quickly returning to the laboratory.
She went straight to the soft bed, lay down, and simply closed her eyes to rest.
Rather than helping them with the experiment, she figured it was better to rest more, especially since she was pregnant and more rest was preferable.
What John had meant by "you might consider taking a walk" was that she could go out after she had finished the experiment.
But, in fact, she wasn't interested in the island's environment at all.
