Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 333: Sadness and Tears Flowing into a River 6

The cafeteria was bustling with people, a clamor rising and falling. The waiter, skillfully wielding his large spoon, caught Yi Yao's eye, her frail frame seemingly vulnerable to a gust of wind. He felt pity and, without hesitation, added another helping of the enticingly colorful and fragrant sweet and sour pork ribs to her plate.

Yi Yao was so hungry that her eyes were full of stars and her stomach was already rumbling. Seeing this unexpected extra meal, she smiled with surprise and quickly picked up the food with both hands and hurriedly walked to a quieter table to sit down.

Dean Li and Dean Wang sat nearby, smiling as they watched the young woman devour the spareribs. Seeing her devour with such relish, they couldn't help but smile at each other. Dean Li spoke first, "Master Guo's cooking is truly incredible! Back in the day, he was the head chef for state banquets at the Great Hall! This time, the state specially transferred him here to cook for us, worried that we old folks wouldn't have enough to eat! Haha, Yaoyao is in for a treat from now on..."

When Yi Yao heard this, her movements suddenly stopped. She looked up at the two deans in surprise. After a moment, she slowly said, "Old man, aren't you worried at all that I'm actually a spy sent by another country?"

Dean Wang smiled slightly after hearing this, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Silly child, if someone really sent you to be a spy, it only means that they are very mean to you! Look at yourself, you are as thin as a bamboo pole. If we were a little better to you, maybe we could successfully turn you over!" After that, he laughed heartily again.

Yi Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a bright smile, and said softly: "Really? Then you have to be nice to me!"

Dean Li, who was sitting opposite, nodded with a smile and slowly said, "My child, after observing and understanding you for some time, Old Wang and I have decided to take you in as our apprentice. Although your theoretical knowledge and talent far surpass ours, in order to prevent others from discovering your little secrets, we have no choice but to take advantage of you. From today on, you are our apprentice! On weekdays, you can just call Old Wang and me grandpa. But let me be frank, as long as you don't do anything to sell out the interests of the country, no matter when and where, we two old guys will do our best to protect you!"

After hearing this, Yi Yao felt a warm feeling in her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She responded obediently: "Thank you, Grandpa Li! Thank you, Grandpa Wang! It is my honor to have a master like you!" After hearing what Yi Yao said, Academician Li and Academician Wang smiled at each other and agreed happily.

Afterward, the three of them happily finished their meal. Dean Li stood up and gently said to Yi Yao, "Child, it's getting late. Go to the staff dormitory and get some rest. Tomorrow, after we've completed all the necessary paperwork and officially enlisted you, we'll allocate you an apartment. Then, you can bring your mother over to live with you." Yi Yao nodded gratefully and followed the staff toward the staff dormitory. She felt particularly relaxed along the way, filled with anticipation for the future. Yi Yao, slightly exhausted, slowly returned to the dormitory. Gently opening the door, she headed straight for the bathroom, ready to take a good, hot bath and relax after a day of tension. However, just as she entered, there was a sudden, sharp, and forceful knock on the door. The sound was particularly loud in the quiet hallway, as if carrying some urgent message.

Yi Yao's heart tightened. With a hint of doubt in her eyes, she quickly walked to the door, gently turned the handle, and slowly opened it. Standing outside was a tall, pretty woman, carrying a large bag. She smiled and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Tang Wen, and I'm Academician Li's assistant! These are some clean clothes and shoes that Academician Li and Academician Wang asked me to buy for you." She handed the bag to Yi Yao.

Yi Yao quickly stretched out her hands, carefully took the bag, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Sister Tang!"

Tang Wen smiled gently and whispered, "Sister Yi Yao, you've worked hard today. You've been running around all day. You must rest early! I'll come to pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's have breakfast together first, and then go to complete the onboarding procedures."

Yi Yao nodded repeatedly, said goodbye politely, and then turned back to her room, closing the door. She couldn't wait to open the bag, eager to see what was inside. When she saw the contents, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. The bag was neatly arranged with two beautiful dresses, one a vibrant red, the other a simple, pure white; two sets of exquisite lingerie, a comfortable pair of pajamas, and a pair of simple, stylish sandals.

Yi Yao looked at the clothes carefully, secretly admiring how thoughtful and considerate Tang Wen was. Then, she took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a nice shower. After the shower, she washed the dirty clothes and hung them in the dryer. After doing all this, Yi Yao felt relaxed all over, and fatigue gradually came over her. She climbed onto the soft bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and soon fell into a sweet dream. The next morning, Yi Yao, wearing a red dress and sandals, just walked out of the dormitory and saw Tang Wen waiting there. Under Tang Wen's guidance, she first went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the dean's office.

At this moment, Academician Li and Academician Wang were discussing something in a low voice. Seeing Yi Yao arrive, they hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, come sit here!"

Yi Yao walked forward steadily and said, "Okay, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang..."

The two men handed Yi Yao her work ID and officer ID, saying, "This work ID allows you to enter and exit the Chinese Academy of Sciences freely. Please keep it safe. Keep your officer ID as well! We fought hard for it for you. Also, there's one million in your bank account—a reward from the state for your drawings! From now on, you're both a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a captain. Your file is classified as three-star top secret, inaccessible to ordinary people. This is a form of protection for you!" Yi Yao accepted it and whispered a thank you. Academician Li said solemnly, "Next, Tang Wen will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. Your mother has sent someone to pick you up. I've arranged a place for you to live in the compound. You'll live with your mother there for safety! Your student status has been transferred to Kyoto No. 1 Middle School, and you'll start school the day after tomorrow. I'll have the army assign someone to protect you when you go out..." Yi Yao hurriedly said, "That's not necessary, Grandpa Li! Although I don't know martial arts, it's difficult for ordinary people to catch me! Mobilizing such a large force would seem unusual. I'll be careful in normal times!"

Academician Wang said, "We'll arrange for someone to pick you up and drop you off at school. After all, this research and development is crucial, and to ensure safety, this is the only way!" Yi Yao nodded in agreement. She then followed Tang Wen out to familiarize herself with the surroundings, and waited until everyone left. Academician Wang said, "Old Li, Yaoyao is only 16 years old. You might scare her by making this arrangement. I remember that Luo Yi, the eldest son of the Luo family, also attends No. Middle School. His name seems to be Luo Yu. Have someone call Luo Yi and explain the situation. Then, Yaoyao can be assigned to Luo Yu's class, and Luo Yu can look after her at school!" Academician Li thought this plan was feasible and quickly made the call!
