Chapter 19 Protecting such a goofy junior?
Zhao Dairou wore her hair in a neat short cut, with the tips slightly curled, shimmering with a chestnut luster under the sunlight.
Her palm-sized face was exquisite, and her eyebrows looked as if they had been drawn with the finest brush!
Her eyelashes were long and curled, and her large eyes were as brilliant as gemstones, bright and lively.
Beneath her high-bridged nose, her rose-colored lips curled slightly upward, carrying a confident smile.
She walked as if she carried the wind with her, sleeves rolled up, wearing her military uniform. It fully displayed her dashing beauty.
Su Chen was a bit stunned.
He felt like he didn't know the person in front of him!
But from behind him, Liu Shuai's exclamation came!
"Zhao Dairou... Senior?"
Su Chen paused: "You know her?"
"More than just know her!" Liu Shuai leaned in, surprised.
"I told you to stop only caring about studying; how do you not even know Senior Zhao Dairou?"
"She was a legendary figure at our school!"
In Zhao Dairou's graduating class, she was known by everyone!
She was definitely a top-tier legend!
Many juniors have heard rumors about her.
This dashing woman before them had displayed astonishing strength in various military skill competitions and drills organized by the university.
She was agile in both body and mind; whether it was in formulating tactical strategies or in actual combat operations, she performed far beyond the average person.
She had even represented the school in competitions organized by the military!
Her opponents were elites from official military units—these outstanding soldiers who had gone through layers of screening and rigorous training—even they were sometimes no match for Zhao Dairou when competing against her.
She was like a brilliant star; wherever she went, she radiated a dazzling light, attracting everyone's gaze.
Because of this, upon graduation, she was specially recruited by the Air Force headquarters, the most sought-after branch among the navy, army, and Air Force!
And it was exactly such a person who was standing right in front of them now.
Liu Shuai couldn't help but ask: "Senior, you are two years ahead of us; haven't you already graduated?"
Zhao Dairou nodded gently, her beautiful eyes shimmering!
"That's right, Junior. I've returned now because I have some business to attend to!"
"May I ask if you are Su Chen?"
Liu Shuai immediately shook his head: "No, no, this is Su Chen! My good brother!"
Zhao Dairou looked at Su Chen and sized him up!
Her expression remained calm!
She spoke again: "Hello, Junior Su Chen!"
"My name is Zhao Dairou, and from now on, I will be responsible for your security!"
"Wait for me a moment!"
Saying this, Zhao Dairou turned and went back to her car.
Beside him, Liu Shuai muttered in disbelief:
"Good grief, Brother Chen!"
"Did I hear that right? Such a beautiful senior is actually coming to be responsible for your security!"
"Did you really build a mech???"
The drama of a beautiful bodyguard protecting a scientific genius was playing out!
Even if he couldn't believe it before, he had to believe it now!
Could Su Chen have really built a mech?
Otherwise, why would the higher-ups value him so much?
Before he could continue pondering, Zhao Dairou walked over, pulling a suitcase!
Without waiting for Su Chen to speak, she walked into the villa on her own!
"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to live here!"
Clearly, in Zhao Dairou's era, the legend of this mysterious courtyard had already existed!
She looked around the interior, then turned her head to look at Su Chen:
"Junior! Where do I stay?"
Su Chen frowned sharply!
Liu Shuai nearly dropped his jaw!
He opened his mouth in disbelief: "Senior..."
"You... you are going to live here too???"
Zhao Dairou brushed her bangs back, looking charming:
"What else?"
Liu Shuai was completely numb!
"Brother Chen, you are going to live with Senior Zhao Dairou!"
Liu Shuai's face was a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred at this moment!
He was truly dying of envy!
It would have been one thing for the higher-ups to provide Su Chen with an independent courtyard, but to actually arrange a beautiful personal bodyguard to protect him!
Whoever it was, wouldn't they be green with envy?
One had to know that although Zhao Dairou was two years ahead of them, her age wasn't much different from theirs!
She was at the peak of youthful vitality!
For restless young people, this was simply a killer blow!
And just as he thought, when news spread that Senior Zhao Dairou had returned to school, it immediately attracted many students!
"Did you hear that Senior Zhao Dairou is back at school? Oh my god! She's a legend at our school. It's one thing that she's good-looking, but her abilities are also outstanding. Our dean mentions her every day to encourage us just because he once taught her!"
"But she's in the courtyard now, and we can't see her! The dean warned us not to easily approach this courtyard!"
"As expected of a senior. I just saw her go in with bags and luggage; she's planning to move in! She really has pull! To be able to move in here—I heard this courtyard was prepared for a big shot! Could the senior be that big shot?"
"But I just saw a male student move in with bags and luggage too... I thought he was a freshman and tried to warn him, but it turned out he was totally fine!"
"What??? Doesn't that mean that male student and Senior Zhao Dairou are... living together???"
"No!!!!! My goddess!" [BGM: Snowflakes drifting, the north wind whistling~]
...
"This junior is your friend, right?"
"Sorry, Junior, we have some classified matters to discuss!"
"Please head back for now!"
After putting her luggage away, Zhao Dairou looked at Liu Shuai.
Liu Shuai thought to himself, is she starting to kick people out this quickly?
He pulled Su Chen aside and whispered: "Adoptive father, take precautions!"
"Adopted son is retreating! Let's stay in touch!"
After saying that, he turned and left!
He even helped shoo away the students watching from outside!
After he left.
Zhao Dairou's tone was somewhat cold:
"Making crude jokes about women is not a good habit, is it?"
Su Chen's body jolted!
He didn't expect Zhao Dairou's ears to be so sharp!
Liu Shuai had spoken in such a low voice; he didn't expect Zhao Dairou to have heard it anyway!
He felt a bit helpless!
This kid could have just left, why make such jokes?
It's over!
Won't his own image be ruined too?
He sighed helplessly; he had wanted to leave a good impression on this beautiful senior!
Forget it, anyway, she was sent by the higher-ups to protect him, so there was no need to try too hard to maintain his image!
"His nature isn't bad!" Su Chen explained casually.
Zhao Dairou snorted lightly: "I can tell, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to walk out of this door on his own two feet!"
After saying that, she took a document out of her backpack!
"This is what our leader asked me to give you!"
"Check it and see if the seal is intact!"
Su Chen seemed to guess what was inside, and he was a bit surprised:
"You got it so quickly!"
"The seal is fine!"
He was now impatient to open it.
However, he was stopped by Zhao Dairou!
"Wait, are you planning to just open and read the file like this?"
Su Chen: "What else?"
"Do I have to kneel down and kowtow to it?"
Zhao Dairou: "No! This is a highly classified document!"
"It's best if you go back to your room to read it!"
Su Chen grinned: "As expected of a senior, your professional skills are very sharp!"
"However..."
He tore open the document envelope!
"I want to read it right here!"
Zhao Dairou felt a bit helpless!
She looked around, and after ensuring there were no surveillance devices, she felt relieved enough to let Su Chen have his way!
I really don't know why the higher-ups would have me protect such a goofy junior?
Is there any value in protecting him?
Su Chen didn't care what opinion Zhao Dairou had of him!
His attention was now entirely on that document!
The document envelope opened, and another mech blueprint appeared before his eyes.
The moment this blueprint appeared!
A mechanical, synthesized voice also sounded.
"Detected that the host has identified a certain mech concept blueprint!"
"Starting de-compilation..."
"Warning! De-compilation failed!"
"System is beginning to call upon technology within the system library to perform autonomous compilation..."
"Compilation progress: 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%..."
"Compilation progress: 100%! Compilation successful!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Pan-Space Mech technology!"
