In the end, Chu Xingyue ate a total of ten meat buns before she stopped.
Gu Yanting was completely dumbfounded. There weren't many girls who could eat so much. The girls he knew all wanted to eat less or not at all in order to lose weight, let alone eat meat buns. He wouldn't even think about eating them. But he had never heard of anyone like Chu Xingyue who could eat ten of them at once, let alone seen one. Today, he had truly seen the world.
The orderly's eyes were fixed on Chu Xingyue's mouth and stomach. This was the first time he had ever seen a girl who could eat so much, especially a pretty one. She had absolutely no inhibitions.
Xia Lin remained incredibly calm. He had a girl at home who could eat a lot. If these people saw that the two girls' appetites were almost equivalent to the appetites of an entire class, they would be shocked for three days and three nights.
Needless to say, Zhang Jianshe was always under the watchful eye of the teachers at the school. They would know about any little thing that happened to Chu Xingyue. When the teachers were really bored, they would gossip about the students, especially Chu Xingyue, who was a top student among top students and was the focus of all the teachers' attention.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu. I ate very well. I'll take the leftovers with me. I can't waste your kindness. I can just heat them up when I get home."
"Gu boy, our cafeteria needs to allocate more food to us this month. Xiao Chu will be using his brain a lot when he's with me, and that means he'll be consuming a lot of energy and eating a lot. You can't be stingy," Zhang Jianshe jokingly reminded Gu Yanting.
"Oh, look at what you're saying. We can't let the children suffer. I'll give the order later to start giving you extra meals this month." Gu Yanting thought it was no big deal; it was a good thing that the children could eat.
Xiao Lin and Xiao Fang tidied up the table; they were about to head home.
Zhang Jianshe and Gu Yanting walked ahead, while Xia Lin lagged behind, waiting for Chu Xingyue.
"Work hard over there. If anything happens, tell me, or have your teacher tell me. If anyone bullies you, tell your uncle, and I'll teach them a lesson for you." Xia Lin knew his niece's abilities, but he still had that feeling that a child might be bullied when starting a new job.
"Pfft, Uncle, don't worry. Don't you know who I am? Would someone from the Chu family be bullied? It's only because I'm magnanimous that I don't bully others. Besides, I have Uncle backing me up. If I were to be bullied, my uncle would definitely stand up for me." Chu Xingyue's slightly arrogant demeanor amused Xia Lin.
"You little rascal!" Xia Lin laughed and pointed at Chu Xingyue.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I'm not someone to be bullied. Anyone who tries to bully me will have to show me their true abilities and make me submit, otherwise no one will be able to bully me." Chu Xingyue's eyes revealed a sharp edge.
Xia Lin was comforted. Her niece usually seemed indifferent to everything, but she was not one to tolerate being bullied.
"Go back, Uncle. Take good care of Aunt. I'll come see you when I'm on vacation," Chu Xingyue said, turning to Xia Lin while gripping the handlebars.
"Take good care of yourself." Xia Lin felt a surge of emotion.
"Um"
"Uncle Gu, thank you for your hospitality," Chu Xingyue said to Gu Yanting, who was standing next to Xia Lin and kept glancing at her.
"Hey, little An'an, goodbye. Come to the military region when you're on leave. Next time I'll ask the canteen to make some of their signature dishes for you to try."
Gu Yanting's smile was so wide that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes looked like they could trap flies.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Gu, please go back inside, it's cold outside."
Xiao Fang drove the car out of the military area, not taking the same route he came from, but going directly up the mountain. Chu Xingyue looked at the mountain road outside and observed it carefully for a while. Chu Xingyue discovered that there was a guard post every kilometer, with armed soldiers standing guard inside.
Every checkpoint must be stopped and inspected to ensure that every vehicle and person going up the mountain is safe for the mountain.
The entire road is paved with asphalt, and although the road up the mountain has many curves, it is very wide.
The car slowly came to a stop in front of a mountain wall.
"Xiao Chu, we've arrived." Xiao Lin got out of the car first, standing protectively beside Zhang Jianshe, and Chu Xingyue followed him out.
The main gate was guarded by armed soldiers, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. The gate was a double gate. Chu Xingyue was standing next to Zhang Jianshe.
When they arrived at the gate, the soldier on duty asked Chu Xingyue, whom he had never seen before, to show her identification. Chu Xingyue handed the soldier the identification that she had prepared in her pocket.
After checking and finding no problems, Chu Xingyue took the documents and put them in her pocket.
Zhang Jianshe, Chu Xingyue, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Fang started walking inside.
Even though she had seen all kinds of military bases in her previous life, Chu Xingyue was still impressed by the architectural design of the research institute. The door behind her gradually closed, and a slight breeze came in. It was neither cold nor hot, and there should be its own circulation system inside.
Zhang Jianshe told Chu Xingyue about the people and things at the research institute, and that the institute had a director, but he was away at a meeting in Kyoto recently.
"Old Zhang"
"Old Zhang"
Along the way, everyone who came towards Zhang Jianshe greeted him. They looked puzzled when they saw Chu Xingyue following behind Zhang, but no one dared to ask, knowing Zhang Jianshe's temperament.
Chu Xingyue noticed the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, and smiled and nodded at everyone who looked over.
Some would reply, while others, seeing a pretty young girl like Chu Xingyue smiling and nodding at them, would blush and walk away quickly, feeling embarrassed.
It's really cute. She looks like she's in her thirties or forties, but she still blushes when she smiles and greets strangers.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Fang, only one of you needs to stay with me. Go and rest for a while." At the research institute, the two of them took turns following him 24 hours a day. Recently, they had been following him 24 hours a day while he was out, and they hadn't been able to get a proper rest. Now that they're back, it's a good time for them to take turns resting.
"Yes, Elder Zhang," Xiao Fang saluted Zhang Jianshe and Chu Xingyue before turning and heading to the dormitory.
"Come on, Xiao Chu, I'll take you to HR to get your work badge." After saying that, Zhang Jianshe led Chu Xingyue towards HR.
"Old Zhang, you're back!"
"Okay, Xiao Li, I brought Xiao Chu here to get her work permit." Zhang Jianshe asked Chu Xingyue to give her documents to the middle-aged woman handling the matter.
Chu Xingyue saw that the woman was wearing a military uniform and immediately saluted.
"Sister Li, thank you for your help." Sister Li's face immediately lit up with a smile when she heard the pretty young girl address her as such.
"Look at you, child. Come, sit here for a while, you'll be fine soon." Sister Li pulled Chu Xingyue to sit on the stool next to her, grabbed a handful of tangerines from the drawer and gave them to Chu Xingyue, winking at her.
