Chapter 336 Special Department: Two Chapters Combined!
The car drove into a heavily guarded research institute and stopped in front of a huge gray building.
Gu Yin followed Lu Jie through several checkpoints and arrived at a large, all-white hall. However, they did not enter the hall but instead went into the office next door.
There were already people waiting in the office, all dressed in military uniforms.
Gu Yin paused, but still followed him inside, keeping her head down and keeping a low profile.
"Old Lu, where's the stuff?" a stern voice rang out.
Lu Jie placed Gu Yin's laptop and documents on the desktop.
"Everything is here, take a look for yourselves."
Xie Ming handed the items to the person next to him, then looked at the person behind Lu Jie who was keeping his head down and remaining silent, and asked with a smile, "What's this student's name?"
Gu Yin looked up and saw an elderly man looking at her kindly. She blinked and said, "Hello, my name is Gu Yin."
The old man raised an eyebrow: "Gu Yin? Do you know Chu Yan?"
Gu Yin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded honestly: "I know him."
The old man burst into laughter: "So you're Gu Yin! Not bad, not bad! You seem like a good child!"
Lu Jie asked in confusion, "Mr. Xie, do you know Gu Yin?"
Xie Ming smiled and nodded: "I heard about it from my godson, but today is the first time I've seen it."
Gu Yin was surprised: "You are Chu Yan's godfather?"
Xie Ming smiled and said, "That's right, we often hear Chu Yan talking about you at home, saying that you are very outstanding and a remarkable child!"
Gu Yin felt embarrassed, but since there were familiar people in the room, she wasn't nervous anymore.
The Chu family is indeed a godparent family. Gu Yin only knows that this family is part of the family, but she doesn't know exactly what they do. Gu Le had also told her that after Chu Xiong and his wife had an accident in their previous life, this godparent family was destroyed by their rivals for some unknown reason. Otherwise, given their status, no one would have dared to touch Chu Yan when he returned to China to take over his own company.
"How did you manage to make this thing?"
Gu Yin recounted Gu Le's ordeal.
Xie Ming praised, "You have a pure heart, not bad at all! Don't be nervous, you can go back after we finish reviewing these materials."
Gu Yin nodded and sat quietly.
Two hours later, those people finally finished looking at what Gu Yin had brought.
One of them reported to Xie Ming: "Commander, this anti-abduction bracelet can be made. Many of the materials needed are indeed only available here, and some of them are things we just made recently."
After a moment of silence, Xie Ming spoke up: "Since it can be done, then let's get started. Speed it up. I'll report to the higher-ups later and get the police departments in each province to cooperate."
Upon hearing this, the others took all the documents and Gu Yin's computer.
Only Gu Yin, Xie Ming, and Lu Jie remained in the room.
Before Xie Ming could ask, Gu Yin began to explain: "Because I had this idea, I have been researching this kind of knowledge, mainly from abroad. Later, I also learned from the news that our country developed the Seven Star One last year. Based on the steps and progress abroad, as well as our country's military plans in recent years, I deduced what materials might be needed. Based on these materials, I extracted the data for the anti-abduction bracelet. This is just my guess. If it is available, we can make it as soon as possible. If not, I will try to make it myself to see if it works."
Lu Jie: "...What are you going to do?"
Gu Yin blinked: "I originally planned to study materials science, and I would have naturally learned it by then, but now I plan to study biology, so I'm giving these things to you."
Lu Jie: "...You think you can just make these materials whenever you want?" You'll just end up asking me for them anyway! So I'm the one being sucked up?
Xie Ming laughed: "Young people dare to dream big! That's great! Don't discourage me!"
Lu Jie fell silent.
Gu Yin didn't explain that if she wanted to, she could actually make it herself, since the system library had everything. But she couldn't. Look, she had only just created such a simple thing, and the person she was talking to was already questioning how she knew about the materials the country had recently developed. Luckily, they already had them abroad, otherwise the National Security Bureau would definitely have come to interrogate her!
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We'll contact you again if there are any problems later."
Gu Yin nodded, "As long as I can go back, that's fine."
Xie Ming smiled and looked at Gu Yin, saying kindly, "If Ayan comes back later, you and he can come to our house for a meal and get acquainted with the place."
Gu Yin blushed. Just how many people had Chu Yan talked about her with? And almost everyone who knew her assumed they would be together. It felt like meeting a close relative, which made her quite embarrassed.
"Okay," Gu Yin said shyly.
Once outside, the same car took them back to Qingdao University.
Gu Yin got off the bus at the school gate, said goodbye to Lu Jie, and returned to the Gu residence.
As soon as they passed through the archway, they heard Chu Yan's gentle voice.
Gu Yin's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked forward.
Chu Yan was chatting with Grandma Gu when she heard familiar footsteps.
He looked up and saw the girl he was so happy with, running towards him with a big smile on her face.
The girl came up to him, looked up at him with starry eyes, and asked, "When did you get back?"
Chu Yan stared intently at the girl's eyes and brows for a moment, his hands, which were hanging at his sides, twitched slightly, but he ultimately did not lift them up.
"I just got back. I heard you guys came to Beijing, so I came to check on you."
He originally planned to go home to report on his studies in the city, and then go to Jiang City to find Gu Yin, wanting to give her a surprise. He didn't expect her to come here by herself!
When the old lady saw her granddaughter return, she smiled and got up: "You two chat, I'll go cook!" The old man had gone out for a stroll and hadn't returned yet, and the eldest son and his wife were also busy outside. With guests at home, she couldn't leave and couldn't cook. Her granddaughter's return was just in time.
After the old lady went to the kitchen, Chu Yan reached out and hugged Gu Yin tightly!
Gu Yin was stunned for a moment, and felt the other person's arms tightening their grip, so she reached out and grabbed the hem of the other person's clothes at the waist.
Chu Yan felt her response and tightened his grip, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms.
He rested his chin on Gu Yin's shoulder, turned his head and took a few deep breaths on her neck: "Did you miss me?"
A deep voice sounded in her ear, and the breath tickled her ear, making Gu Yin feel a tingling sensation in her heart.
She moved slightly, embarrassed, and Chu Yan released her, but then pressed her face against his chest.
Feeling the taut, powerful muscles beneath the light summer clothes, and listening to the other person's rapidly beating heart.
Gu Yin's face flushed, and she slowly nodded: "Mm."
Hearing the other person muttering, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh. Afraid that the Gu family would come and see, he let go of Gu Yin and pulled her to sit down.
Seeing that the other person was playing with her hand, Gu Yin tried to take her hand away, but Chu Yan pulled her hand back even harder, stopping her.
Fine, let's do it then.
Gu Yin looked up and sized up the other person. She had just noticed that the other person seemed to have grown taller, and she had to look up to speak.
He kicked the other person with his foot: "Have you grown taller again?"
Chu Yan stretched out his leg to stop Gu Yin's foot from retracting it, and nodded: "You're already 190cm, you probably won't grow any taller."
Gu Yin was astonished. She was only 168 cm tall and didn't know if she would grow taller, even though she would only turn 16 in a few days.
At this time in her previous life, she was only 156 cm tall. When she grew up, she was only 158 cm tall. Later, when she was busy working as an extra and got a role with lines, she was only 160 cm tall, and she never grew any taller.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Gu Yin asked with a touch of heartache, "How are your studies? Is it very demanding?"
Chu Yan recalled his school days, when he wished he could make each day last several days! Besides attending classes, he was always doing exercises. Recently, his advisor even asked them to start a company with some money. When they graduated, the company would count towards their academic credits. He also wondered if he would have to do an internship on Wall Street and keep an eye on the stock market every day. There was simply not enough time.
He had been staying up late for several days straight, just so he could come back during the holidays in China.
However, Gu Yin doesn't need to know these things, lest she worry. Chu Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's alright. That's how it is in university. There are assessments every day, let alone for us finance students."
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yin didn't expose him.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Chu Yan gently kneaded Gu Yin's slender, soft fingers, gazing at the well-arranged courtyard. The blazing sunlight shone on the water, making everything appear as if it were gilded with gold, dazzling yet warm, just like the present moment.
Gu Yin was able to savor the warmth of the moment, but when she turned to look at Chu Yan, he had already fallen asleep leaning back in his chair.
Although it wasn't cold, the chair was cold and hard and the space was small. For a grown man like him, if he slept like that, he would definitely have a sore back and aching waist when he woke up.
Gu Yin shook him awake: "Chu Yan, wake up, don't sleep here, go lie down in the guest room."
Chu Yan opened his eyes, looking at Gu Yin with a dazed expression. He froze, then reached out and pinched Gu Yin's face. Only when he felt the warm and delicate touch on his hand did he wake up.
Chu Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I'll just sit for a bit, I'm not very sleepy."
Gu Yin ignored him, pulled him up, and led him to the guest room.
"Auntie always changes the things in the guest room on time, so they're all clean. You should get some sleep. I'll go to the kitchen and help Grandma with the cooking. I'll come and wake you up when the food is ready. Go to sleep now!" After saying that, she pulled him to the bedside and pressed him down.
Just as she was about to get up, Chu Yan exerted force on her arm, and Gu Yin fell onto him.
Gu Yin was stunned for a moment. She remembered, but Chu Yan was too strong and she couldn't move.
"Sigh, when will I grow up? Grow up quickly, so we can get married and be together every day."
Gu Yin: "..." She does have a bit of a romantic side!
Gu Yin struggled to get up, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Dream on! Go to sleep, I'll come back to wake you later!" After saying that, she didn't look at him again and quickly left the guest room.
Seeing her leave in a huff, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. In a good mood, he hugged his pillow and rolled around on the bed a few times. He really needed to get some sleep.
After lunch, everyone else went about their own business, while my grandmother rushed to the palace gate to watch the commotion. After all, it was National Day, and there were many exciting activities going on there. Even in the sweltering heat, the two of them remained undeterred.
Gu Yin and Chu Yan sat in the pavilion, each holding half a watermelon, and ate it spoonful by spoonful.
Gu Yin dug out the red heart that Chu Yan had kept, ate it in one bite, and then laughed, "By the way, when I went to see Grandpa Lu yesterday, I saw Commander Xie. He mentioned you and said that when you have time, you can take me to visit him." At this point, Gu Yin said helplessly, "Why do you talk about me to everyone you meet?"
Chu Yan raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Otherwise what? Who else would you say if not them? They're all family, so they have to know you exist. Anyway, we'll meet again in the future, so let them be mentally prepared. Prepare the gifts in advance. What? Are you unhappy?" As she spoke, she ate the less sweet part of the watermelon, leaving the middle part for Gu Yin to dig out.
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, just a little uncomfortable."
Although she had never been in a relationship in her past life, judging from the situation online and from the people around her, unless they were 100% sure they would get married, no one really wanted it to be public. After all, it would be so embarrassing if they didn't end up together and it became public knowledge.
"And aren't you afraid it will be awkward if you're not together in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan put down his spoon and looked at Gu Yin seriously: "Don't be afraid, because that won't happen. You're great, and I'm not bad either. We share the same values, are equally smart, equally ambitious, and come from similar backgrounds. My family likes you, and your family likes me. I like you, and you feel the same way about me. We're a match made in heaven! I can't imagine what could possibly stop us from being together when we're so compatible. If it's external factors, then they're even less of a problem. I believe in my ability to solve problems. If you don't really like me yet, I'll try harder! If all else fails, I'll just stick with you!"
Excellent and mature people always think about the most fundamental and realistic issues, but those issues do not become shackles, because they solve problems when they arise, unlike incompetent people who try to solve the other party when they encounter a problem.
Thinking of this, Gu Yin smiled, scooped up a slice of watermelon, held it to Chu Yan's mouth, and laughed, "You're so good at talking!"
Chu Yan ate the watermelon in one bite and hummed softly, "I'm only talking to you."
“I’m going back to school the day after tomorrow, so let’s visit him tomorrow. You don’t need to prepare anything; I’ll have Grandpa prepare it,” Chu Yan said, taking out his phone to tell his family.
Gu Yin realized that she hadn't brought any formal clothes with her, so she sent a message to Wang Yanzhi asking her to help her prepare something. After all, Wang Yanzhi was a designer and would know what kind of clothes to wear when visiting someone's home.
After dinner, Wang Yanzhi brought over large and small bags.
"Come, come, I've been picking out these clothes all afternoon. Ah Yin, come and try them on, see which one you like! If the size isn't right, we can alter it overnight!"
