Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 999 - 499: Getting More and More Interesting

Na Amo finished the tasks in the laboratory, and it was already two o’clock in the morning.

She dragged her exhausted body back to the dormitory at the research institute.

A light was on in the dormitory, and Na Amo’s weary heart slowly warmed back up.

The dormitory was a one-bedroom apartment, simply decorated. Given the status of herself and Gu Chengzhao, they could apply for accommodations of higher specifications, but both Na Amo and Gu Chengzhao preferred a simple life and disliked extravagance, so living in such a simple one-bedroom apartment was quite fine.

Gu Chengzhao was sitting on the couch in the living room, holding a book in his hands, his head drooping to his chest, and the glasses on his nose were precariously close to falling off.

The sound of snoring was thunderous, causing Na Amo to shake her head with a smile.

A floor lamp beside the sofa was lit, its dim light enveloping the man and creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere in the room.

Na Amo carefully changed into slippers at the entrance and walked inside, seeing the cold food on the dining table.

Na Amo smiled slightly, picked up the plate, and took it to the microwave in the kitchen to heat it.

At this moment, Gu Chengzhao’s head dropped, and gravity suddenly woke him up. He wiped his face, saw the light in the kitchen, put down the book in his hand, and stood up.

"Amo, you’re back."

Na Amo came out carrying the heated food.

"You don’t need to wait for me. There’s an important meeting tomorrow, go back to the bedroom and sleep, rest well."

Gu Chengzhao casually helped her pull out a chair, and after Na Amo sat down, he sat next to her and poured her a cup of warm water, placing it in front of her.

"I took a nap when I wasn’t busy this afternoon, so now I can’t sleep."

Na Amo, smiling, raised her hand to tidy his messy hair: "I wonder who it was just now, snoring like thunder."

Gu Chengzhao helplessly chuckled.

"By the way, how was the program recording today, are you getting used to it?"

Speaking of this, Na Amo became interested and began to chatter to Gu Chengzhao.

She focused on how talented Liu Runxi, Rong Xianning, and Shen You’an were, saying they were pillars of the country’s future.

Gu Chengzhao took a napkin and gently wiped the grains of food from the corner of Na Amo’s mouth, smiling and saying, "Strong youths make a strong nation, they are the future hope of the country."

"Exactly, especially Shen You’an, simply a genius brain, do you know how she restructured the black hole information paradox?"

Na Amo recited Shen You’an’s proof to Gu Chengzhao, word for word, accurately.

Gu Chengzhao sighed, "Truly a rare talent, physics needs people like her."

"So I proposed letting her join my lab, but she didn’t directly agree. I suppose I’ll have to find another opportunity to talk to her."

Gu Chengzhao laughed, "This young lady knows her mind. You know how many Ph.D. and Masters students are scrambling to get into your lab, yet she, a high school student, still needs to consider?"

"Shen You’an is different from ordinary geniuses; I think she has other considerations."

"Oh, let me tell you about Rong Xianning."

Gu Chengzhao raised an eyebrow, "That boy with a very tragic background?"

"His situation is even worse than I thought, also a genius, but unfortunately hindered by his family. He didn’t have a good educational environment growing up, but placing third in a brain storm competition shows he’s grown well. I’m very concerned about him and want to adopt him as a godson to help him as much as I can."

Gu Chengzhao looked deeply at her, "Are you serious? Adopting someone isn’t as simple as you think."

Na Amo shook her head, "That child is clearer-minded than I thought. He refused."

Na Amo suddenly glared at Gu Chengzhao: "What do you mean? Don’t you want to? Do you think that child isn’t worthy of the Gu family’s status?"

Gu Chengzhao saw his wife was angry and immediately felt anxious, quickly trying to appease her: "How could that be? Am I that kind of person? I just think we barely know him, and our understanding of him isn’t even one percent complete. Anyway, we have time; we can get to know him slowly. Besides, even if we want to help him, there’s no need to be constrained by formal relationships."

"I just feel a connection with that child, an inexplicable sense of closeness whenever I see him, maybe it’s my maternal instincts acting up. Ah..."

"Think about Bichen, that child..."

Both fell silent for a moment.

Since the last argument with Gu Bichen, Gu Chengzhao had harshly declared that until the child realized his mistake, he shouldn’t think about stepping out of the Gu family for even a day.

He thought with the child’s stubbornness, he’d need to be grounded for over a dozen days to learn his lesson, but unexpectedly, the next day the child admitted his mistake.
