Ocean City.
Chu Zhengyang soon found out about Chu Luo placing second in the monthly exam.
When school ended in the afternoon, Chu Zhengyang’s chauffeur came to the classroom door to look for her.
“Second Miss, Sir is waiting for you at the school gate. He wants you to go out and eat with him.”
Chu Luo nodded and the chauffeur left first.
She had just packed her things and was walking out of the school with her school bag when Li Tao’s voice came from behind her.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo didn’t stop.
Li Tao quickly followed up with a frown. “Why didn’t you agree to the class monitor’s suggestion just now?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and asked, “Why should I agree when I don’t want to join your study group?”
Li Tao had a look of confusion. “Our study group only consists of students with good grades. Studying with us will definitely be more efficient than you learning alone.”
“I don’t need to discuss with others to be efficient at studying.”
“…” Li Tao didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so stubborn. He didn’t know how to persuade her, so he pursed his lips and followed her.
Chu Luo glanced at the boy walking beside her and said with a look of displeasure, “Don’t follow me.”
“Then agree to join the study group.”
“No.”
“You…”
Before Li Tao could finish speaking, a strange voice suddenly interrupted from the side. “Yo, isn’t this Chu Luo who suddenly jumped up to second place from the bottom of the level?”
Chu Luo and Li Tao looked over at the same time.
When Li Tao saw who it was, he asked angrily, “Xu Yanqing, stop being so sarcastic. Chu Luo ranked second in the entire level because of her own abilities.”
“Hmph! Based on ability? Who would believe that?”
Xu Yanqing was the commissary in charge of studies in Class 1. He was a jealous person and loved to secretly compare himself with Zhang Tianyi. This time, he had thought that he would definitely be one of the top two, and he didn’t expect that someone would throw a wrench in the works. He felt it was unfair.
Chu Luo could tell that this person was here to find fault with her. Her expression turned cold. “What are you trying to say? If you’re not convinced, we can compete.”
Then, she said in a firm tone, “We’ll go to the teacher’s office to compete tomorrow afternoon. If you can’t beat me, then shut up.”
After saying that, she walked out of the school, ignoring the two people who were stunned by her fierce vibe.
Chu Luo walked out of the school gate and saw the car waiting there.
The car door opened and Chu Zhengyang called her from the car.
“Luoluo, get in the car.”
Chu Luo looked at the tired Chu Zhengyang and silently climbed into the car.
Chu Zhengyang looked at her and realized that she looked even better than last time. Thinking about how she had changed so much because she moved out, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
“I heard that you ranked second in the level this month?”
“Yeah.”
Actually, Chu Zhengyang didn’t believe that Chu Luo’s grades could suddenly improve so drastically. However, since this was her first time getting such a high score, he decided not to dampen her enthusiasm regardless of how she did it. He said, “Not bad.”
He then asked, “What do you want to eat? Daddy will take you out to eat.”
Chu Luo replied, “Anything is fine.”
After saying that, she stuffed an earpiece into each ear.
Chu Zhengyang opened his mouth and wanted to say something but gave up in the end.
The two of them went to a posh restaurant not far from the school. After ordering, Chu Zhengyang said, “The college entrance examination is in about 20 days. Tingting said before that she wanted to go overseas for graduation after the college entrance examination. Do you want to go with your sister?”
Chu Luo suddenly took off one of her earphones and asked, “Has her illness been cured?”
“Soon.” Chu Zhengyang finally revealed a relieved smile. “In the afternoon, your mother called and said that your cousin found a Gu expert from Miaojiang for Tingting. After Tingting finishes her college entrance examination, he will treat her.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She nodded, intending to stuff the headphones back in.
Chu Zhengyang stopped her. “Luoluo, I heard from your form teacher that you have a few days off before the college entrance examination. Do you want to go to the capital to play for a few days so that you can relax? You can come back with your sister in time for the examination.”
“No,” Chu Luo refused directly. “I have a plan for the next few days.”
Chu Zhengyang didn’t say anything else.
When the dishes were served, the father and daughter ate quietly.
After the meal, Chu Zhengyang suddenly felt a surge of paternal love. He asked, “Luoluo, do you want to go to the bookstore to buy some revision materials?”
Chu Luo glanced at Chu Zhengyang and nodded indifferently.
The two of them went to the bookstore.
This was the first time Chu Luo had come to the bookstore. After walking in, she looked at the book classification indicator and headed straight for the college entrance examination guidance books on the third floor.
There weren’t many people here at this time. Chu Luo stood in the humanities textbook section and looked at the books for a while. When she realized that most of the revision materials had already been shown to her by the teacher, she continued walking forward in boredom.
When she walked to the science revision materials section, she casually took out a book.
It was a casual flip.
“Eh? So chemistry includes all these. Isn’t this common knowledge that we priests can use?”
As if discovering a treasure, Chu Luo quickly took a few introductory books and flipped through them.
After that, everyone on this floor looked at her strangely as she flipped through the books one by one.
The service staff on this floor was an enthusiastic one. She walked over and asked, “Young lady, what book do you want to find? You can tell me. I remember the location of the books. I can help you.”
Chu Luo looked up from her book and gazed at her with those big, confused eyes.
The service staff was actually stunned by her adorable expression at that moment. She smiled warmly and said, “I see that it takes a lot of effort for you to find the books one by one. You can tell me what books you’re looking for and I’ll help you get them.”
Chu Luo finally understood what she meant. Without explaining, she said, “I want to see all three years of senior high chemistry books.”
The service staff was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, “Have you not chosen which subjects to specialize in? If you like chemistry, you can read more of these.”
She took a few books from the bookshelf.
Chu Luo had already flipped through it earlier. She shook her head and said, “I’ve already finished reading these.”
The lady took a few more books. “What about these?”
“I’ve finished reading them too.”
“…”
“…” Chu Luo: “What?”
The lady was silent for a while before asking, “Can you tell me which grade you are from?”
“Grade 12.”
“…” The service staff asked, “Are you studying humanities or science?”
“Humanities.”
“…”
Later on, Chu Luo found Chu Zhengyang, who was sitting on the first floor waiting for her. She had a stack of physics books. Chu Zhengyang looked at the books in her hands and asked in surprise, “Luoluo, why did you choose all the science books?”
Chu Luo said to him seriously, “I want to have a change of pace after I get tired of studying.”
Chu Zhengyang: “…” Would she be able to understand them, though?
However, since Chu Luo had brought the books down, he didn’t say anything else. He brought her to settle the bill and sent her back.
When the car stopped in front of her apartment building, Chu Zhengyang said to her, “Luoluo, Daddy is going on a business trip for half a month. If you need anything, just call me directly. I’ll rush back before your exam.”
Chu Luo nodded at him with the books in her arms and walked into the apartment.
