Chapter 113: The People From the Chinese Academy of Sciences
This made Cheng Yao speechless. He said, “You haven’t changed at all. You still can’t take a joke.”
He was a little worried. Would his nephew be this reserved when he began dating someone in the future?
He would probably never have a girlfriend in his life.
They arrived at a restaurant to eat.
Cheng Yao asked casually, “I heard that you signed up to be in University A’s research team?”
Zhou Yao paused and nodded.
Cheng Yao said unhappily, “Previously, I asked you to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but you refused. Could it be that in your eyes, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is no match for the University of A’s research team?”
Zhou Yao nodded without looking up.
Cheng Yao’s eyes widened in anger.
Zhou Yao really thought so. Anywhere without Xiao Ying was a bad place.
Cheng Yao looked at him with disappointment and sighed. “If you had worked harder, I wouldn’t have to watch other people’s children covetously. In order to poach Xiao Ying to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, your uncle has lost all his face.”
Zhou Yao’s expression changed and he put down his chopsticks.
“Xiao Ying?” he asked.
When speaking of Xiao Ying, Cheng Yao’s face was full of praise and he smiled. “That’s right. You should know her, right? Xiao Ying is a good seedling. I’m here to test her character. If there’s no problem, I’ll take her away.”
Zhou Yao immediately said, “She’s great.”
Cheng Yao continued without a second thought, “I know, but we still have to go through the necessary procedures.”
Suddently, he looked at his nephew who had a fierce expression on his face, and raised his eyebrows.
This was the first time he had seen him speak for someone else.
He said with some subtlety, “You seem to treat this Xiao Ying differently.”
Zhou Yao froze and quickly lowered his head to eat.
Cheng Yao looked at his nephew’s red ears as if he had discovered a new continent.
He teased, “Could it be that Xiao Ying is the person you said you were going to find?”
Since Zhou Yao refused to answer, he just mused to himself.
“Little punk, your standards are pretty high. Did you manage to get her yet? Do you need your uncle to help you?”
Zhou Yao could not bear it anymore and said, “No need.”
Cheng Yao chuckled. “So you finally admit it, punk.”
Seeing that he had fallen for the trap, Zhou Yao could only shut his mouth helplessly.
Cheng Yao slowly thought it over and said, “You suddenly want to do scientific research because of Xiao Ying, right?”
Zhou Yao did not deny it.
Seeing that he wouldn’t budge, Cheng Yao snorted and said, “Unfortunately, that girl is about to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The fool that refused to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences back then won’t have the opportunity to go with her now.”
Zhou Yao frowned and looked at Cheng Yao as if he were thinking about something.
Cheng Yao waited smugly for him to beg him.
Zhou Yao did not say anything in the end.
Cheng Yao was not anxious. He waited to see how long he could hold it in.
His nephew had been indifferent to everything since he was young. Cheng Yao thought it was good to see him be this conflicted about something for once.
He finally had some vitality in him.
Recalling how lifeless that child had been back then, he felt his heart constrict.
After sending him back to the university, Cheng Yao couldn’t bear teasing his nephew further. He stopped him and said, “Get ready. You’ll leave with us this time.”
Zhou Yao was stunned. He looked at Cheng Yao, who was sitting in the car, and said, “Thank you.”
Cheng Yao scolded him with a smile, “Why are you being so formal with me?”
Zhou Yao smiled and turned to enter the school.
Cheng Yao looked at his back and sighed. “This child finally acts like a human.”
He said to the driver, “Let’s go.”
He actually had another mission for coming here. He did not tell anyone and secretly brought someone to a hospital.
…
Zhou Yao passed through many tests and successfully joined the research team.
As the second person to enter the research team as a freshman, everyone was saying that he was the second Xiao Ying.
