Chapter 18 We both receive compulsory education, so why are you so outstanding?
"Holy crap! Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
"You've gone to the wrong place!"
"That's not a place we can enter!"
Seeing Su Chen walk toward the mysterious courtyard and even enter it, Liu Shuai was instantly terrified!
This place really wasn't somewhere they could approach!
Usually, there were special guards stationed here!
Anyone who got close would be turned away by these people!
After all, this was the National Defense University, and the students had a strong sense of confidentiality.
Knowing that this place might involve state secrets, they didn't let anyone get close!
Gradually, no one came over here anymore!
During the freshman orientation ceremony, the deans of each college would mention places involving military secrets that students were not allowed to approach, and this courtyard was among them!
There were even some absurd rumors!
All the high-rise buildings near this small courtyard were controlled by the military!
More than a dozen ace snipers had been stationed there, keeping a close watch on the area!
If anyone approached, they might just put a bullet in your forehead!
Therefore, seeing Su Chen walk inside, Liu Shuai was so scared his face turned green!
Meanwhile, students returning to school one after another passed by and saw Su Chen entering, their eyes filled with disbelief!
"Classmates, are you freshmen? You can't go in there!"
"Yeah, classmate, hurry up and back out slowly, it's very dangerous there!!"
"I'm a senior at this school; that's not a place we students can just enter! At best, you'll be taken away, and at worst, people could die!"
Hearing what these people said, sweat broke out on Liu Shuai's forehead!
He didn't dare to approach, but he didn't want to just watch Su Chen and do nothing, so he prepared to charge in and pull him out in one go!
Just as he stepped inside!
The door of the villa in the courtyard suddenly opened!
Several people wearing military uniforms walked out from inside!
Leading them was a middle-aged female Captain!
Seeing them come out, Liu Shuai's heart skipped a beat!
He knew he was done for!
Was this the security detail?
Would they punish him?
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind!
Leave quickly!
If he didn't run, something bad was really going to happen!
Thinking of this, he was just about to grab Su Chen and run outside when he heard the female Captain's voice:
"Su Chen! You've arrived!"
"Hurry up and help Su Chen move his luggage!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several soldiers quickly ran to Su Chen's side and helped him carry his luggage inside!
This scene completely stunned Liu Shuai!
His head was buzzing!
If he didn't know better, he would have thought he was dreaming!
This courtyard, which was rumored to be mysterious and off-limits to outsiders, not only had they entered with ease!
They hadn't been kicked out?
And they had even been warmly received by the staff!
This scene also shocked the students outside the courtyard!
They stared at each other, looking completely incredulous!
"Didn't our dean say that we students aren't allowed to approach that courtyard? What's up with that guy?"
"Our dean also said that even he doesn't have the qualifications to approach..."
"What exactly is the situation with that guy? He couldn't possibly be the son of some big shot, right?"
"This is the master bedroom!"
"This is the viewing platform!"
"This is the second-floor swimming pool! If you want to swim, you just need to pull the curtain, and other students won't be able to see inside!"
Captain Bai Yun led Su Chen and his friend around the courtyard.
Su Chen nodded frequently, while Liu Shuai was completely bewildered the entire time.
He didn't understand why Captain Bai Yun was inexplicably giving them a tour.
Until later, when the Captain added: "Su Chen, you can treat me as your personal housekeeper!"
"If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time!"
"I am at your beck and call!"
"I won't disturb you and your friend anymore!"
With that, Bai Yun led her subordinates away, and as she left, she thoughtfully closed the door behind her!
After they left, Su Chen found a spot to sit down!
Meanwhile, Liu Shuai, like a marionette, slowly twisted his neck to look at Su Chen!
"Adoptive father! My dear adoptive father!"
"Are you hiding something from your adoptive son?"
"We haven't seen each other for only two months, how did your status shoot up so fast? Or is it that you were originally the son of some military big shot, and now you're showing your hand, not wanting to pretend anymore?"
"So this courtyard was prepared for you from the very beginning! And you wanted to live the life of an ordinary person, but now you're tired of that, so you've stopped pretending!"
"And that Captain, although she just calls you Su Chen, her tone was so gentle, and she respects you from the bottom of her heart. What exactly is your identity? You've kept your adoptive son in the dark for so long!"
"Adoptive father! Take me under your wing!"
As soon as Bai Yun left, Liu Shuai couldn't control himself and blurted out all the questions in his heart!
He had originally found it bizarre that Captain Bai Yun was giving them a tour of the courtyard!
Now he understood!
This damn place was prepared for Su Chen!
When Su Chen said he was moving dorms, he meant moving here!
He was usually a fan of web novels, and the tropes of "playing the pig to eat the tiger" flashed through his mind; he immediately cast Su Chen as the protagonist of a web novel!
Looking at the excited Liu Shuai, Su Chen just smiled calmly:
"You're overthinking it! I'm just an ordinary person!"
"This courtyard is actually a reward!"
He felt there was no need to hide it from his roommate, so he continued:
"A reward for building a mech!"
A mech????
Liu Shuai reacted: "Are you talking about the assignment Professor Ma left to build a mech model?"
Su Chen nodded.
Liu Shuai's eyes widened, and he jumped up from his seat in shock:
"Holy crap! So just because you built a mech model, they gave you this courtyard to live in?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"If we're talking about mech models, mine wasn't bad either!"
"Why didn't they even look at my model, but gave the reward to you?"
"You're definitely messing with me!"
Liu Shuai simply didn't believe it!
Su Chen coughed lightly and said calmly:
"Um... what I built wasn't a model!"
Liu Shuai waved his sleeve violently: "So what if it wasn't a model, if it wasn't a model..."
He shuddered, as if struck by lightning, and slowly turned his head to look at Su Chen.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"What you built wasn't a model!"
"So you built... a mech????" Liu Shuai's voice suddenly rose.
And when he saw Su Chen nod at him!
This shock evolved into deep astonishment!
"Brother Chen, are you sure you're not kidding me?!"
"The teacher asked you to build a model, and you built an actual mech???"
"Why is it that we both received compulsory education, yet you are so outstanding?!"
"Tell me, you're just messing with me!" Liu Shuai was dying of envy.
Before Su Chen could speak, the sound of an engine humming suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Su Chen walked to the gate.
He opened the gate!
A beautiful figure appeared at the door.
"Excuse me... which one is student Su Chen?"
It was Zhao Dairou.
