Chapter 239: Close Your Eyes
When Chu Luo called her, Wu Yiyao was still in her office organizing documents. When she heard about their situation, she agreed to drive over immediately to pick them up.
As soon as Chu Luo hung up the phone, Tang Zhiyun asked, “Junior, Li…. Professor Wu is teaching at Imperial University?”
Chu Luo felt a little strange. “Didn’t you know?”
Tang Zhiyun smiled. When he chatted with her, it was mostly about computer science. Seeing that she was very free, he didn’t have the nerve to ask her if she was working or where she was working.
Wang Mingtao was faster than Chu Luo. “Senior Tang, you could’ve asked me. Professor Wu will be my computer science teacher from now on. She even came to our class to meet us today. Many boys in the class say that she’s beautiful.”
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyun walked to Wang Mingtao and put his arm around his shoulder. “Mingtao, send me a copy of your class schedule when you get back.”
Wang Mingtao was startled by Tang Zhiyun’s reaction. “Senior Tang, why do you want our class schedule? Also… you seem very happy?”
Tang Zhiyun smiled mysteriously, making Wang Mingtao even more curious.
Xie Minghai couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Mingtao, can’t you tell? Old Tang has fallen for your Little Professor Wu.”
“What?” Wang Mingtao instantly raised his voice before suppressing it in front of their bright gazes. He swallowed his saliva and said with a surprised expression, “Senior Brother Tang, you actually like Professor Wu? Wouldn’t this be considered a teacher-student relationship?”
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly covered his mouth. He even looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one was around, he retracted his gaze and said in a low voice with a worried expression, “Senior Tang, teachers are forbidden from dating students at Imperial University.”
Tang Zhiyun nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll only woo her after I leave Imperial University.”
“Aren’t you pursuing graduate studies? What if Professor Wu gets hooked by a young and promising male teacher while you’re still studying these next few years?”
Tang Zhiyun wanted to beat him up when he heard this.
Wang Mingtao had long guessed that this would happen. He hid behind Chu Luo and Li Yan.
Still behind them, he said, “I wasn’t wrong.”
Chu Luo didn’t think much of Imperial University’s rules. She tilted her head and asked Wang Mingtao, “Imperial University’s rules state that students can’t date teachers?”
“That’s right. I live near Imperial University and know the rules here very well. A few years ago, a student fell for a teacher. After it was exposed, the student was expelled.”
Chu Luo turned around and looked at Tang Zhiyun, who had suddenly become silent. She said, “Everything depends on the person. As long as you are outstanding enough, nothing is impossible.”
When he saw the confidence in her eyes, the frustration in Tang Zhiyun’s heart disappeared. He nodded at her and became even more determined.
They didn’t wait long before Wu Yiyao drove her father’s car over.
The car could only take five people.
Xie Mingtao said, “Brother Chu, why don’t you, Junior, and Old Tang go over first? We can walk over. When you get there, Old Tang can help us save a good spot.”
That was the only way.
Tang Zhiyun got into the front passenger seat and Chu Luo and Li Yan sat in the back.
Before the car drove out, Wu Yiyao even said to them, “I’ll pick you up after I send Little Chu and the others over. It’ll take half an hour to walk over here.”
“Professor Wu, there’s no need. The rest of us can take the chance to jog over and get in some exercise.”
Wu Yiyao was amused by Wang Mingtao’s words and said, “Alright. Little Tang and I will save you guys some seats later.”
“Okay. Thank you, Professor Wu.”
When the car arrived at the school road outside the venue, there were people everywhere. The car couldn’t drive in at all.
“There are so many people tonight.” Wu Yiyao sighed.
Tang Zhiyun told them, “That is nothing. The auditorium can accommodate only 5,000 people. There are more than 30,000 students at Imperial University. If all of them come, it will be even more terrifying.”
“Are there tickets to the gala? Even if so many people come, they won’t be able to enter, right?”
“Yes, and one has to snatch it online. Each ticket costs five yuan. You can enter if you have tickets.”
“Then did you guys manage to get tickets? I didn’t even know about this.”
Wu Yiyao was a little vexed.
Tang Zhiyun said with a smile, “Yes, we did. We originally snatched six tickets, but since Junior has a performance later, we don’t need all of them. A performer can also bring one guest in, so Brother Chu and Junior can go in together. We will have one extra ticket here.”
“Is Little Chu going to perform? That’s great. I must go in and watch.”
Chu Luo smiled and looked at the crowded school path. “Sister Wu, find a place to park.”
Tang Zhiyun pointed to a spot not far away. “There are special guests invited by the school today. These guests drove here too. Little Professor Wu, turn right at the intersection in front.”
Wu Yiyao followed his instructions and slowly drove the car through the crowd.
After the car made a turn, there were indeed fewer people.
Tang Zhiyun added, “Drive two hundred meters ahead. There is a parking lot over there, but I can’t guarantee that there is still space in the parking lot.”
Wu Yiyao said, “Why don’t you get off first? I’ll park the car and come find you guys.”
“Junior and Brother Chu, you can leave first. Junior still has to go backstage to change. Don’t be late.”
Chu Luo nodded and alighted with Li Yan after Wu Yiyao stopped the car.
The two of them didn’t take the main road but walked through a small path.
The path led to the back of the auditorium. No one was there.
Li Yan held Chu Luo’s hand and asked as they walked, “Which program are you on?”
“In the middle. At least an hour after it starts.”
When Li Yan heard this, he stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Luo looked at him in confusion.
“Send us back to where we live with the magic you learned.”
“Mm?”
“Let’s go home and change.”
Chu Luo thought about it and was a little conflicted. “But I want to watch other people’s programs first.”
Li Yan suddenly leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, “Everyone is changing backstage in the same room. Are you willing to change with others? Besides, you can just come back in time after changing.”
Chu Luo thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded at him.
Satisfied, Li Yan pulled her into the shadows.
Chu Luo hugged his waist. In the next second, the two of them arrived at the bedroom of their small building.
The moment Chu Luo reached the bedroom, she took the bag from Li Yan’s hand and walked towards the bathroom.
However, Li Yan grabbed her wrist.
Li Yan looked at her with his deep eyes. “Change here. I want to see what you look like in ancient clothes immediately.”
Chu Luo’s face turned red. She shook her head. “No~”
Li Yan wrapped his arm around her waist and held her in his arms. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “If you go change in the bathroom, I’ll follow you. You might as well change here.”
After saying that, he saw that her face was as red as the peach blossoms in March. He kissed her cheek lovingly and whispered into her ear, “If you’re shy, I’ll help you change.”
After saying that, he reached for her clothes.
Chu Luo was wearing a t-shirt today, the loose kind. Li Yan moved his hand and lifted her shirt.
His fingers swept across her back.
The moment the cold fingertip touched her skin, it caused a faint tremble.
Chu Luo buried her head in his arms and said in a trembling voice, “You’re not allowed to take it off.”
Li Yan’s fingers paused. He took a deep breath and said hoarsely, “Then take it off yourself.”
After a few seconds, Chu Luo nodded.
Li Yan then took the bag from her hand and let go of her.
Chu Luo blushed and lifted her t-shirt under his scorching gaze. However, just as she did so and pulled her shirt over her eyes, Li Yan’s large hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
The two of them fell onto the bed.
Chu Luo crossed her arms and turned around. “Stop looking. Give me the clothes.”
Li Yan stared at her beautiful back for a few seconds before lowering his eyes to get her clothes.
He searched inside for a while, took out the dudou[1], and said in a suppressed hoarse voice, “You need to wear this inside this set of clothes.”
With that, he handed her the dudou over her shoulder.
Chu Luo looked at the familiar undergarment and her face turned even redder. She snatched the undergarment and said in embarrassment, “Close your eyes.”
“Mm… feeling shy?” Li Yan approached her and said in a low voice, “You’re as good as not wearing anything now. I’ve seen what I should and shouldn’t. Also…”
Li Yan’s gaze moved down and he said in an even lower voice, “If you don’t put on your clothes, I won’t be able to control myself from wanting to make you stay and not letting you participate in the show.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Li Yan’s hand went to the hook on her back. With a flick of his finger, he unhooked her last undergarment.
His hand came around her.
Chu Luo trembled slightly as she snatched the dudou from his hand and quickly put it on.
Li Yan tied the ribbon behind her as he took advantage of her.
As he looked at the red dudou, his throat bobbed a few times. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll get someone to send you a few more dudou in a few days. You look good in them.”
