"An'an, I was just saying you should arrive today. People can't resist being talked about. Look, here you are." The man with a buzz cut was so happy to see Chu Xingyue that he immediately stood up, took the suitcase from her hands, and even helped her take off the bag on her back and put it on the sofa next to her.

"Come on, sit down. You must be so hot." The man picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured Chu Xingyue a glass of water.

Chu Xingyue sat down, took the gift, and called out, "Uncle Cheng."

"Hey, it's been so long since we last met." The man who spoke was Cheng Guobang, the president of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Sitting on the sofa, Chu Xingyue smiled and said, "What? It's only been a long time since we last met, and you've already changed your college application."

"How could that be? The subject you applied for was full, so the school transferred you to the command department," Chu Xingyue said, looking at him as he avoided eye contact and spouted nonsense.

"How many promising students are there this year? Are all the openings for my nuclear engineering and nuclear technology major?"

"Hey, wouldn't it be a waste of your brains if you didn't go to the command department? Don't waste your time on this," Cheng Guobang said disapprovingly.

"I don't think it's a waste of time. If you want me to go to the command department, I'm fine with that. I can study two majors at the same time." The moment I opened my eyes, I decided to change my way of life. I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. I ended up in this mess. Since I can't change it, I can only face it.

"Are you sure? You might not be able to manage both sides this way," Cheng Guobang disagreed.

"Then please arrange a nuclear science major for me; I like computation."

“No, we just agreed that you would take both majors at the same time. The course schedule isn’t ready yet. I’ll arrange to schedule the courses for the two majors together later to make it easier for you to attend classes. But you have to promise me that you will cooperate with me unconditionally if you know I need you.” Cheng Guobang compromised.

"I agree, but I want absolute freedom. Of course, I won't make things difficult for you. Also, I want to share a dorm room with Jiaojiao." Chu Jiaojiao also made her request at the right time.

"That's no problem. The school will provide certain assistance to someone as talented as you." Cheng Guobang was relieved to see that Chu Xingyue had agreed. There was still a verbal battle to be fought, and he needed to think carefully about how to handle it.

How could these two people who have absolutely no connection possibly know each other?

When Chu Xingyue was fourteen, she rescued Cheng Guobang, who had fallen into an enemy trap while on a mission, on the mountain. At that time, Chu Xingyue showed something different from other little girls. What kind of family would have a little girl that age outside before dawn, especially training on the mountain? Normal people would find it strange. At that time, Cheng Guobang had already fallen into a coma. Chu Xingyue did not disturb anyone on the mountain and took Cheng Guobang home alone to treat his injuries. Apart from her aunt Liu Nuoling, who was shocked at the time, the Chu family members quickly calmed down, after all, someone in the family worked in a special department.

Cheng Guobang was very vigilant. Although he was unconscious, he could feel Chu Xingyue moving him, but he couldn't open his eyes. He was unconscious for a short time, waking up after two or three hours. However, he didn't expect to be rescued by a girl who was only about ten years old. The girl looked aloof and quiet. If you said ten words to her, she would only respond to one. When he woke up and saw her, she was writing and drawing with her head down, calculating something. He glanced at her and saw a bunch of numbers.

As dusk approached, Chu Xingyue ventured into the mountains. Smelling the air, she nimbly climbed a large, sturdy tree, concealing herself and peering out. As expected, she spotted the enemy's trail. Having pinpointed their direction, Chu Xingyue retreated quietly without alerting them. On her way back, she discovered Cheng Guobang's slightly injured subordinate. Having lost contact with Cheng Guobang, the soldier had carefully hidden himself. Outnumbered, a direct confrontation was not advisable; a more calculated approach was necessary. Chu Xingyue picked up a sharp branch, stealthily approached the soldier, and decisively grabbed him from behind, strangling him by the neck. She pressed the branch against his temple, saying, "Don't make a sound, or I'll stab you." After carefully confirming his identity, she led him to the Chu family residence, cleaning up any traces of their arrival along the way.

When Cheng Guobang saw the subordinate brought back by the little girl, he really couldn't imagine how Chu Xingyue had managed to bring back the two grown men without alerting the enemy, given the disparity in size and strength, especially since she was a girl.
