Chapter 240: I’m Not Panicking at All, Why Are You Panicking?
Chu Luo had an elegant and noble aura to begin with. Dressed in ancient clothes, she was elegant and peerlessly luxurious.
Li Yan immediately regretted it. He hugged Chu Luo tightly and pecked her pink ear twice. His voice was low and hoarse. “Luoluo, I really want to hide you.”
Chu Luo rubbed her red ear against his chin and smiled. “You won’t be able to hide me.”
Li Yan pulled her closer in dissatisfaction and said in a hoarse voice that only the two of them could hear, “Little thing, do you know the consequences of saying this?”
Chu Luo: “…”
Chu Luo suddenly struggled out of his arms before his hand could grab her belt. She lifted her skirt and ran towards the bedroom door. As she ran, she said, “Big baddie, you’re not allowed to enter my bedroom tonight.”
After saying that, she opened the bedroom door and ran out.
Li Yan looked at the closed bedroom door and let out a chuckle, which later turned into a delighted laugh.
After laughing, he calmly opened the door and slowly walked out with the matching embroidered shoes and hairpin, along with the bag of snacks.
Chu Luo had just gone downstairs when she received a call from Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi’s side was especially noisy. It was obvious that he was at the venue or backstage. His voice carried a smile. “Junior Chu, you’re not going back on your words and backing out halfway, are you?”
Chu Luo snorted. “Don’t worry, I won’t back out.”
Nangong Yi: “Is that so? Then why didn’t I see you backstage?”
At this moment, Chu Luo happened to see Li Yan carrying the bag of food. She said calmly, “I was locked in the musical instrument room today and was a little startled. I plan to eat some dessert to calm my nerves before coming.”
Nangong Yi was silent for a few seconds before saying in a helpless tone, “Are you really not going to discuss our program with me?”
Li Yan walked down. Chu Luo covered the phone’s microphone and said to Li Yan, “I want to eat osmanthus cake.”
Li Yan placed the bag on the coffee table and took out a small box of osmanthus cake for her. Chu Luo looked at the box of osmanthus cake and swallowed before taking back the hand that was covering her phone. She said to Nangong Yi:
“Only people who aren’t confident in themselves need to discuss in advance. You were the one who suggested the program, and I’m not panicking at all. Why are you panicking?”
“…” Nangong Yi: “Alright, we are due to perform in 20 minutes. You have to come at least 10 minutes early to familiarize yourself with the stage and instruments, alright?”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
Chu Luo hung up the phone and strode over to take a piece of osmanthus cake before taking a bite.
She then pouted and said to Li Yan in dissatisfaction, “It’s not delicious.”
Li Yan’s gaze landed on the pastry crumbs stuck to the corners of her lips. His eyes darkened and he leaned towards her. “Let me try.”
Chu Luo subconsciously handed him the pastry in her hand.
However, Li Yan swept the pastry crumbs off her lips away.
Chu Luo: “…”
After a while, Li Yan said seriously, “It’s indeed not as delicious as our chef’s. Let’s move out in a few days and I’ll get the chef to cook for you.”
Chu Luo: “…”
It was as if this person only ate pastries made by chefs at home!
After Chu Luo finished eating a piece of pastry, Li Yan asked her to change her shoes.
Chu Luo put on her embroidered shoes and walked a few steps. Li Yan almost forgot to blink.
After two seconds, he handed her the hairpin and asked, “Do you know how to coil your hair?”
Chu Luo took the hairpin from his hand and nodded. “Of course.”
After saying that, she untied her hair and quickly styled it into a simple hairstyle on top of her head. She inserted the hairpin, and this paired with the white ancient costume made her look ethereal.
After doing all this, the two of them returned to the concealed place.
The auditorium was brightly lit. Even through a wall, one could hear enthusiastic screams and music.
The two of them walked to the back door of the hall. Chu Luo looked at the closed door and said, “The door is closed. Why don’t I call Nangong Yi?”
The phone was on Li Yan. Chu Luo reached out to him.
Li Yan glanced at the door in front of him. “No need to get someone to open it.”
After saying that, he walked over and moved the door. It opened.
There was a corridor behind the door. Compared to how noisy it was at the front, the corridor was very quiet.
The two of them walked through the corridor and reached an ajar door. They heard two voices coming from the noisy door.
“Could Chu Luo have stood the president up? It’s already 7:47. There are two more programs to go before the Student Union is due to perform. If she doesn’t come, will our president have to go up alone for the last performance?”
“What are you worried about? Can’t you see that the president is calm? The president isn’t even in a hurry. Maybe Chu Luo will come soon.”
“This morning, Chu Luo asked the president to recite ancient words. In the afternoon, the president asked someone to lock her in the music school’s instrument room. Say, even if Chu Luo comes, would she find a way to deal with our president again?”
“Hehe, didn’t you hear that the president called Chu Luo to apologize?”
“Really? Chu Luo is too amazing.”
“Amazing indeed. If such a person enters our Student Union, she will definitely be a tough nut to crack. No matter which department she enters, it won’t be easy to control her.”
“Hearing you say that, I’m suddenly a little worried. Don’t let her enter our Secretarial Department.”
“What are you worried about? If anything, I think Chu Luo will enter the Study Department.”
“Hehe… Me too.”
“However… what do you think Chu Luo said to Yu Tong in front of the Student Union building today? I’m dying of curiosity.”
“I know… Chu Luo said that the president was helping Zhang Yiran repay her debt.”
“Really? Is the president that kind?”
“Actually, I don’t believe it either.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up. She looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at her.
Chu Luo said, “Go to Sister Wu and the others first.”
Li Yan nodded.
Then, he strode over and opened the door.
When the door opened, everyone standing by the back door looked over at the same time. Then, as if someone had pressed the pause button, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Soon, everyone looked over. The entire backstage fell silent.
A poem surfaced in everyone’s mind: There’s a beauty in the south, glamorous like a peach blossom.
“Tsk…”
“Gulp…”
As the group of people was feeling dumbfounded, a powerful gust of cold air blew at them.
Everyone subconsciously shivered and turned to look at the man standing beside Chu Luo.
At this moment, the cold aura on the man was as thick as thousand-year-old ice. That dark face especially made people tremble in fear.
Everyone quickly retracted their gazes.
At this moment, an elegant voice came from the entrance in front. “Is Chu Luo here?”
Just then, everyone saw Nangong Yi walking over.
When Nangong Yi saw Chu Luo, he was also stunned for a moment before instantly coming back to his senses. He turned to Li Yan, who was standing beside Chu Luo, and walked towards the two of them with a smile.
Nangong Yi had also changed into an ancient gentleman’s robe and was wearing a wig. With him looking thus, he had the charm of an elegant young master.
Nangong Yi walked up to the two of them and extended his hand to Li Yan. “Hello.”
Li Yan only glanced at him coldly and had no intention of shaking his hand.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Nangong Yi didn’t show an embarrassed expression. Instead, he naturally retracted his hand and looked at Chu Luo. He praised, “I think Junior Chu is the most beautiful woman who can wear classical clothes and have the most classical disposition. There’s no other.”
Chu Luo smiled.
Nangong Yi said, “There are still a few minutes. Junior Chu’s boyfriend can go outside and sit first. The first three rows on the left are reserved for our Student Union members. You can sit there.”
Li Yan finally nodded. He glanced at Chu Luo and walked towards the exit.
After Li Yan walked out, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
Nangong Yi looked at everyone’s reaction and said with a smile, “Junior Chu’s boyfriend’s aura is really strong.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Didn’t you say you wanted to familiarize yourself with the stage?”
“Junior Chu, do you want to watch it live or look at the surveillance cameras?”
“Look at the surveillance cameras.”
“Okay, follow me.”
The moment the two of them left, the entire backstage exploded.
The boys said that Chu Luo was really beautiful. Unfortunately, she already had a boyfriend, and they didn’t have a chance.
The girls were even more excited than them.
“Heavens, my heart can’t take it anymore. Chu Luo is too beautiful. I feel like I’m going to turn lesbian.”
“I’m going to become a lesbian too. I want to be at the bottom.”
“Pfft…”
“Enough, women. Aren’t you afraid that Chu Luo’s boyfriend will hear you and kill you all?”
The girls shivered at the thought of the terrifying man.
A girl said, “In the past, I thought that President Smiling Tiger was scary enough. I didn’t expect Chu Luo’s boyfriend to be even scarier.”
“Could her boyfriend be from the Empire’s special team?”
“It’s possible. That aura could only be found in people who have seen great storms.”
…
Nangong Yi brought Chu Luo to the monitoring room.
There was a simulation design on the stage. The two of them stood in front of a computer and Nangong Yi pointed at the set they were about to perform at.
“This is the set for ‘Moon.’ When the time comes, the moon will transition through the four seasons. We only have five minutes, so you have to play the most exciting part of the tune I sent you.”
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he turned his head and asked, “Junior Chu, are you alright?”
Chu Luo looked back at him. “I should be the one asking you that.”
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They saw blatant provocation in each other’s eyes.
Then, Nangong Yi told Chu Luo where she be would playing the zither.
For the Student Union’s performance, because there would only be the two of them in the last segment, their positioning was definitely important.
