"So, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to become an adult..." Lorraine supported his chin and started chatting with the children.

Most of the girls were surrounding Republic. They looked at the elegant and graceful young lady timidly.

"Don't you want to chat with the children?" Ye Yu said with a smile.

"I'm actually not very good at chatting." Republic said softly.

"Well...big sister." Finally, a little girl spoke.

"What's wrong?" Republic's voice couldn't help but soften.

"Big sister, your voice is very nice."

Republic was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you."

"Wow, my sister is smiling!"

Republic tucked the stray blonde hair behind her ear.

"Sister is so beautiful...like a princess"

"Well, thank you." Although the other party was just a child, Republic's face still blushed slightly.

"Princess or something, I'm just an ordinary person." Republic whispered.

"Well, well, what's the relationship between the older sister and the older brother?" A child noticed that Lorraine's eyes were always looking over here, while Republic seemed to be avoiding the question, so he asked curiously.

Now, everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Well, um..." Republic's face turned even redder, and she subconsciously looked at Lorraine for help.

But, it will make things difficult for the boss, right? Even if it is not difficult, if, if -

The result is even more difficult for me to accept. What should I do?

"Okay, okay, stop bullying your sister." Ye Yu saw that Gongguo was a little embarrassed, so she spoke quickly.

"Okay..." The children were a little disappointed.

"Oh, it's time~" Ye Yu glanced at the time. Before she knew it, it was almost time for dinner.

"Sister is going back." Ye Yu stood up and waved her hand.

Say goodbye to the children one by one.

"Do you two want to go together?" Ye Yu then looked at Lorraine and Gongguo.

"As for me, the visiting appointment has been approved." Lorraine looked at the Republic.

"Captain, don't you want to eat?" Republic asked hurriedly.

"They said there's a cafeteria over there. I'm going to check it out." Lorraine smiled and waved his hand.

"All right……"

"Well, then, I'll go first~" Lorraine touched Republic's head, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Well, okay." The Republic sighed. The boss had made his decision and he couldn't stop him.

She watched Luo Lin and Ye Yu walk out the door, and then saw a woman walk in with a bag.

"Miss?" The woman looked at the extra person in the yard in surprise.

"You are..." Republic hesitated.

"Miss, are you Miss Ye Yu's friend?" The woman said with a smile. She didn't care about Gongguo's hesitation and said to herself, "The only people who usually come here are Miss Ye Yu and..."

A gloomy look flashed in the woman's eyes.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

But she was always reluctant to think the worst of things, because the lady looked unfamiliar and made people feel very comfortable.

"Oh, sorry." She finally noticed the Republic's confusion.

"You're quite the chatterbox." The woman looked at the Republic. "It's time for dinner. Do you want to stay for dinner?"

When the children heard that this beautiful older sister might stay, they all looked at Republic with shining eyes.

"Ah, um..." Republic hugged the flag, but his feet still moved uncomfortably.

Saying "forget it" will disappoint the children...

"Well, excuse me for bothering you?" Republic asked tentatively.

"That couldn't be better." The woman's smile never faded. "Ms. Ye Yu never stays here for dinner, as if she's afraid of bothering us..."

"When guests come to visit, according to Donghuang customs, we should invite them to dinner..."

The woman kept muttering, looked at Republic who was once again surrounded by children, smiled and shook her head, and began to prepare dinner.

There aren't actually that many children here, only about twelve or thirteen, and most of them are girls.

But the chattering still causes some headaches for the Republic.

"If Burgundy were here, she'd probably yell at the kids to be quiet. If it were Richthofen, she'd probably tell them some heroic stories."

The Republic thought about it for a long time and really didn't know what to do.

"Sister, please tell us a story~" a girl begged.

But I just can’t tell stories—I don’t have any good stories to tell.

All the past... There is nothing new under the sun.

"But my sister can't tell stories." Republic said softly.

"Why……?"

Looking at the disappointed children, Gongguo raised a smile and said, "But I can teach you to sing or recite poems, how about that?"

"Great!" the children cheered.

They brought their small stools and sat in front of the Republic, staring at it eagerly.

"Well, then, I'll read a line, and everyone else will read a line, okay?"

"Okay!" The children quickly quieted down.

The Republic thought for a moment and spoke softly:

"Miracle spring is magic at your fingertips,

Please break my poem into lines..."

Chapter 170 Act II: The Approaching Storm

Lorraine and Ye Yu parted ways halfway, and then Lorraine went to the experimental area alone.

From the foot of the mountain, you can see the protruding concrete structure on the mountain. That is the experimental base.

After going through facial recognition and various other tests, and after a lot of effort, he was finally able to enter this area.

Come to think of it, Commander Haitian was quite surprised by the application he submitted.

Lorraine's mind was jumping.

By the way, I still owe the Republic a gift, after all, I gave Burgundy a cross before.

As for what to give to the Republic, Lorraine already had an idea.

Have a try with the experimenters here, maybe you can get it done right here.

This way I can give it to her directly when I get back.

With this idea in mind, Lorraine submitted his application.

Although it's written in completely different terms.

I had never expected Haitian to be able to get through to the commander of this port area, but unexpectedly, he actually got through.

Well, this is not a very important place, just an ordinary laboratory.

Donghuang’s most important experimental bases are all on the front line.

However, a staff member came to greet him.

"Oh? This must be Lorraine, right?" the newcomer said with a gleaming gaze. "I didn't expect there's a junior who transferred from the Research Department to the Command Department. Let me introduce myself. I'm you..."

She thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you're from the 167th class, I'm 11 years older than you. My name is Nan Mufeng."

"Hello, Senior Nanmu." Lorraine greeted with a smile.

"Junior Luo Lin is quite a talented person," Nan Mufeng exclaimed. "He was top of his class in the Research Department, and now that he's in the Command Department, he can even participate in such a large operation..."

"Hey, unlike me, senior. I didn't study hard back then, so now I can only come here and be a corporate slave."

"No, it's just luck." Lorraine shook his head.

"What a humble junior! The more I look at you, the more I like you." Nan Mufeng walked forward with Luo Lin.

"How about you consider supporting me, your senior brother?"

"Ah, this..." Lorraine was stuck, "Senior sister's salary is not low..."

"That's true, but who doesn't want to eat while lying down?" Nan Mufeng said with a smile, "Okay, okay, no more jokes, come over here, junior..."

I have to say that professional laboratories are amazing. The scale of this test base even exceeds the experimental area of ​​the Research Department of Tianhai Maritime Academy.

"Senior, isn't it the universities that are responsible for the experiments and scientific research tasks now?" Lorraine asked curiously.

"That's not the case." Nan Mufeng shook his head. "The universities are only responsible for shipbuilding design and development, while our frontline bases are responsible for technological reverse engineering and disassembly."

"I see." Lorraine understood.

Anyway, his eyes were opened.

Nan Mufeng was also surprised by this junior fellow, who still had such strong professional abilities even after transferring to the Commander Department.

"Senior, is there a lower level in the experimental base?" Lorraine and Nan Mufeng took the elevator upstairs.

"Of course, but it's not open to the public."

"So what are the main research projects of the lower level?"

"Technology related to the Mind Cube."

"Something as important as the Mind Cube technology...shouldn't it be left inland?"

"Putting it in the open sea is mainly because we're worried about the energy reaction inside, causing an accidental explosion or something..." Nan Mufeng explained briefly, "Also, if it's placed in the port area, those who want to steal the technology will also have to consider the risks of crossing the sea..."

Soon, the elevator door opened.

"Come sit in my office before you go shopping. We've been walking for quite a while." Nan Mufeng yawned. "I'm so tired. Today, I really walked all the exercise I did this week just for you, my junior."

"Thank you, Senior." Luo Lin responded, "When you return to the mainland during your vacation, I'll treat you to coffee."

"I want to drink milk tea." Nan Mufeng's eyes lit up.

"I thought researchers preferred coffee..." Lorraine followed her into the office.

"Senior sister, you have a bright future."

"No, I'm just being fed by a big boss." Nan Mufeng waved his hand, "Sit down, water or coffee?"

"Warm water will do." Lorraine nodded and looked out the window.

The sky darkened and there were no stars or moon.

The office windows were open, letting in damp air.

"It's going to rain." Nan Mufeng leaned on her desk and sighed.

"Well..." Lorraine didn't know how to respond.

"Tell me about yourself, junior." Nan Mufeng looked at Luo Lin, "I haven't been back to my alma mater for a long time. How are the teachers?"

........................

"The world is like a pot of boiling water, and you and I are the rotten meat floating in it, aren't we?" Wisconsin slowly fiddled with the tea leaves in the teacup.

Memphis meta, who was sitting opposite her, felt a lot of pressure.

Damn, why is this woman even more difficult to deal with than that royal lady before...

"Ms. Memphis?" Wisconsin looked leisurely at Memphis meta who was sitting opposite her.

"Ah, actually I don't agree. Anyway, I think we all have a choice." Memphis shook his head.
