From child prodigy to chief scientist

Seeing the two of them eating so heartily, Xu Xiao felt very satisfied.

Even in my previous life, I rarely had the opportunity to cook for my parents.

Because he works away from home most of the year, Xu Xiao can only go home during holidays.

"Xiaoxiao, when exactly did you learn to cook?"

This was the first time they had ever seen Xu Xiao cook. Logically speaking, it would be good enough if she could even cook the food properly on her first try; it was impossible for her to do it to this extent.

"I had just looked at some recipes before, so I memorized them and followed them. I didn't expect the result to be so good."

Xu Xiao made up a reason on the spot. Although the reason sounded a bit far-fetched, he couldn't very well say that he was a reincarnated person.

"You can make this dish just by looking at a recipe? I find it hard to believe."

"It certainly doesn't sound reasonable, but that's exactly what happened."

They had just watched Xu Xiao cook this whole meal all by himself, so even if Xu Xiao's reason was a bit far-fetched, they couldn't think of anything more reasonable.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and seeing Xu Xiao like this, Xu Lang and Yu Guilan felt much more at ease about Xu Xiao living at school.

As it turns out, Xu Xiao not only has extraordinary learning abilities, but also possesses the same adult-like abilities in life.

Anyway, Steel City isn't too far from Shengjing, so if anything happens, they can get there quickly.

…………

On the day of registration for the Yucai Children's Class, Xu Lang and Yu Guilan accompanied Xu Xiao to Shengjing.

Xu Xiao will be studying at the Yucai North Campus in the future. They have been here twice before and are not unfamiliar with the environment.

However, this time, their feelings were completely different from the previous two times.

Previously, they only regarded Yucai as an examination venue and had a relatively obvious sense of distance from it.

Xu Xiao has now been officially admitted to Yucai School, and will spend the next few years of her studies here.

There weren't many people queuing at the registration desk. Compared to the sea of ​​people during the written exam, only a very small number of gifted children were ultimately able to get into the Yucai Children's Class.

Entering the Yucai Children's Class means that one foot is already in a prestigious university, and the probability of being admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future is not low.

After verifying that the information was correct, Xu Xiao filled out the student information registration form and the accommodation registration form, while Xu Lang went to the payment counter to pay tuition, accommodation fees, book fees, meal fees and other expenses.

After completing these procedures, Xu Xiao and the other two received their dormitory keys and bedding and headed towards their dormitory.

Xu Xiao's dormitory room is 103. To his slight disappointment, the room is not a bunk bed with a desk underneath, but rather the old-fashioned bunk bed structure.

However, considering that it was only 2004, bunk beds were a more common dormitory situation.

Fortunately, this dormitory room is for four people, which should be quieter than six- or eight-person rooms.

Each bed in the dormitory has a student's name on it, which can prevent roommates from arguing over which bed to choose.

Xu Xiao's seat was on the top bunk. Changing the sheets and getting on and off the top bunk was not very convenient, but the advantage was that no one would sit on her bed without permission.

While making her bed, Xu Xiao wrote down the names of her three roommates.

Yang Dun, Lü Yihang, Ding Mosen.

"If it weren't for my rebirth, we would never have crossed paths at all."

Just as Xu Xiao was thinking about these things, there was a knock on the door of dormitory 103.

A woman and a boy entered. After a conversation between their parents, Xu Xiao learned that the boy was her bunkmate, Yang Dun.

Yang Dun was slightly shorter than Xu Xiao and wore glasses with extremely thick lenses, conservatively estimated to be at least 600 degrees.

On their first meeting, Xu Xiao sensed that Yang Dun's behavior was indeed quite different from that of an ordinary primary school student.

If I had to describe him, Youngton had a bit of a "young Sheldon" vibe, like a child with extraordinary intelligence who was also a bit eccentric.

After a while, Lü Yihang and Ding Mosen also arrived at dormitory 103.

Lü Yihang is very tall, about 65 meters, more than half a head taller than Xu Xiao.

Ding Mosen was a chubby boy who looked a bit simple-minded, making it easy for people to think that he wasn't the kind of child who excelled academically.

After having dinner with Xu Xiao, Xu Lang and Yu Guilan knew it was time for them to leave.

"Xiaoxiao, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

"Dad, Mom, you can go back without worry. Don't worry about me."

The thought of Xu Xiao studying alone in Shengjing made Xu Lang and Yu Guilan feel very uncomfortable.

The learning pace in Yucai Children's Class is very fast, and they only have a break once every two weeks.

Unless there are special circumstances, they will only be able to pick Xu Xiao up from school once every two weeks.

Unlike Xu Lang and Yu Guilan's sadness, Xu Xiao's emotions remained relatively calm.

In his previous life, Xu Xiao had long been accustomed to the days when his parents were not around. After calming himself down, he sat down at his desk.

There are only about fifty hours of effective study time left to complete the task of focusing on specific terms.

He also wanted to complete the task as soon as possible to see what kind of magical effects this focus entry had.

Just as Xu Xiao had settled into her studies, the sound of sobbing came from dormitory 103.

Lu Yihang was sitting on his bed, with two tear tracks down his face.

For children of this age, living away from their parents and boarding at school is indeed a challenging experience.

This was the first time Lü Yihang had left his parents alone, and the thought of not being able to stay by their side was indeed hard to bear.

Lu Yihang's emotions quickly infected Ding Mosen. He had already felt a little sad, and when he saw Lu Yihang crying, Ding Mosen also wiped away his tears.

Noticing her two roommates' reactions, Xu Xiao didn't say anything, but she could really empathize with them.

When Xu Xiao first went to university in another city in her previous life, she often missed home at night.

At that time, Xu Xiao was already an adult, while these children are now only in elementary school, so it is very normal for them to have such a reaction.

Yang Dun's face showed no sadness whatsoever. Seeing that Lü Yihang and Ding Mosen were both crying their eyes out, Yang Dun just pursed his lips.

"So what if you're living in the dorms? What's there to cry about? You're being as dramatic as girls."

Yang Dun felt that this was not a big deal at all, and that Lu Yihang's big body and Ding Mosen's flesh seemed to be useless.
