Chapter 330 Xiaohua's Later Life
Li Yao finally dropped Yun Huaixi off at their doorstep. She smiled and said, "Mr. Yun should be very busy, so I won't delay your work. I'll take Yaoyao out for dinner. It shouldn't interfere with your work at this time."
Li Yao and Xu Yao looked at Yun Huaixi at the same time. Li Yao's cold eyes were full of determination, because she knew that Yun Huaixi would not refuse, but Xu Yao's eyes were full of pleading.
"Won't you take me with you?" Yun Huaixi asked back. He knew that Li Yao didn't want to see him, but whenever he met Li Yao, he always wanted to tease her. It would be intimidating for a young girl in her prime to have a cold face every day. It would be better for her to smile more.
"I'm afraid it's not convenient. It's better for Mr. Yun and I to avoid suspicion to avoid being used by someone with ulterior motives." Li Yao felt that they were not safe. What if there was more than one Dong Weiqing in the institute who knew about Yun Huaixi?
"Remember to arrive at the laboratory on time in the afternoon." Yun Huaixi said to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao nodded, the teacher's words meant she agreed.
Li Yao took her into the villa area. Xu Yao sighed: "After I came to the inner city, I looked for my sister. I didn't expect that my sister was so close to me."
"Come over and play when you have time." Li Yao said.
Xu Yao shook her head: "Maybe I won't have time in the future. I just saw my sister coming down from the city wall. That place is very important. My sister must be the main force in fighting against zombies. I'm studying zombie vaccines in the research institute. I'll have to shorten the time for eating and going to the toilet in the future, wuwuwu." Thinking of the future, Xu Yao pretended to cry.
Li Yao felt that Xu Xiaohua was doing very well. At least she was much more lively than when she was in Minghua Community. She felt very relieved.
When they returned home, Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue were surprised to see Li Yao coming back with a little girl.
"Hello Sister Ning, hello Brother Yan." Xu Yao had seen the two of them in Minghua Community before, and knew that they were now good friends of Sister Yaoyao, so when she called them, it was as if there was honey mixed in.
"Hey, where did this little girl come from? She's so pretty. You must have kidnapped her." Ning Xinyue found it very novel that Li Yao, with such a cold personality, could actually bring a child home.
"This is Xu Xiaohua who lives upstairs in our community. She is the child I helped back then." Li Yao brought food and drinks to Xu Xiaohua.
Ning Xinyue and Yan Yuansi were both stunned, especially Yan Yuansi. He had rescued many people in Building 43 of Minghua Community, but no one was willing to rescue him later. However, he didn't know what happened to those children now.
Ning Xinyue didn't know how to persuade Yan Yuansi. He was indeed deeply hurt back then. Although he gave without asking for anything in return, no one helped him at the critical moment.
Xu Yao continued to tell Li Yao about what happened after they separated: "After I was sent to the shelter, someone discovered my talent for studying, so I didn't suffer much. Later, when the extreme heat began, I was taken underground to study hard. Later, when the base was built, I was taken near the base."
"I was one of the first to enter the base. Later, when the base began accepting new personnel, I would go and see every time a group of people arrived, but I never saw you."
Xu Yao continued to talk: "But later, I saw a few children from Minghua Community in the outer city. I went up to ask them, but they had never seen you. They only said that you separated after you set out on the road."
She said unhappily, "I also saw Xu Baofang's family. They are not doing as well as before and are very thin. I walked past them and they didn't recognize me."
"You have changed your name now. You should have paid off their debt during the acid rain. You have no relationship with them anymore. Why are you sad now? They are just unworthy people."
Xu Yao nodded: "Even if they come to me now, I am not worthy." Now that she has the protection of the base, she has the confidence to do anything. Besides, she is also very powerful now and is no longer the Xu Xiaohua who was afraid of being sold back then.
Yan Yuansi listened for a while and then went to the kitchen to cook quietly. Ning Xinyue and Li Yao both knew that he was in a bad mood. What happened that year was quite a blow to Yan Yuansi.
Li Yao only rescued Xu Xiaohua in Minghua Community. Now that she has become so outstanding, she can see for herself how stupid she was back then.
But neither of them said anything. It would be better for him to just let this embarrassing thing go on in silence.
The atmosphere between the three of them was very good, with everyone talking and laughing. Li Yao even heard a lot of information from Xu Xiaohua's words, especially about the research on zombies.
A lot of the information they are using to research zombie vaccines comes from research institutes. The direction of their research is correct, but they are not doing the right thing.
There are many experimental personnel in their institute who are marginalized by the institute. These are scientists who have been excluded in the institute. Many people don’t even know that there is a group of scientists right under their feet who use their compatriots to conduct scientific research.
These have been confirmed by many parties. They really had no idea of the existence of the institute, which allowed them to survive and continue to dedicate themselves to science. However, the events at the institute have cast a shadow in the hearts of many people, and those who came from the institute are still monitored from time to time.
After hearing this, Li Yao had some ideas in her mind. She understood Dong Weiqing's character. He would not put all his eggs in one basket. Dong Weiqing and others were able to do so well in China, so there might be some remnants.
While they were talking, Yan Yuansi had already prepared six dishes and a soup. Xu Yao looked at the food on the table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yan Yuansi: "Brother Yan, you are amazing. You can cook so many dishes."
After Xu Xiaohua came to the base, she ate better than before, especially during the last days of the flood. Food was not enough and her parents favored her younger brother, so there was no food for her.
Later, with the help of her sister, she managed to get through that period. She found that her life was better away from Xu Baofang's family. Now she has grown up safely and is contributing her own strength to the base.
"Eat. If you want to eat something delicious next time, come to me." Yan Yuansi said.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Xu Yao knew that she owed Sister Yaoyao a lot and she could never repay it in this lifetime. She would repay it slowly. In her heart, these three people were her family.
Li Yao picked up a piece of meat for her and asked, "Is Yun Huaixi highly regarded in your research institute?"
They had met several times, and each time Yun Huaixi was accompanied by people from the research institute, who were very respectful to him.
"You mean Teacher Yun? He is really amazing. After his guidance, we can understand the things we don't understand. A big reason why we can make progress in the zombie vaccine is because of his connections." Xu Xiaohua said.
Li Yao just asked casually. It seems that Yun Huaixi's supernatural powers are not only in his body. Maybe his brain has also been strengthened. With his abilities in all aspects, it is no wonder that Dong Weiqing values him so much.
They had a very good meal. Seeing that Xu Xiaohua's time was almost up, Li Yao planned to send Xu Xiaohua to the research institute.
