Chapter 366: I Heard You Were Beaten Up?
When Chu Luo and Li Yan went downstairs, it was already half-past seven.
The butler stood in the living room and greeted the two of them.
“Master, Miss Chu, good morning.”
After saying that, he turned to the servant standing by the door and said, “Serve breakfast.”
The two of them walked to the dining table and sat down. After breakfast was served, the butler said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, Professor Tang and the others came to look for you half an hour ago.”
Chu Luo paused and asked in embarrassment, “Did they say why they were looking for me?”
“No. They left after hearing that Miss Chu was still sleeping.”
Chu Luo glared at Li Yan, as if saying ‘It’s all your fault.’
Li Yan put her favorite breakfast in her bowl and coaxed, “Be good, eat quickly. You can go over later and ask them why they came to look for you before you go to school.”
Only then did Chu Luo retract her gaze and eat her breakfast.
After breakfast, Chu Luo went to the villa at the back.
Professor Tang and the others were already in the villa.
The moment Chu Luo entered, she saw Elder Hu instructing the two of them to pick herbs.
“We only need the leaves from that kind of herb, and roots from that kind of herb. Hey, hey, hey… Little Cao, be careful. Don’t damage the roots, or it will ruin their medicinal properties. Also, Little Tang, don’t pluck the tender leaves. Gotta pluck the old ones!”
Chu Luo looked at Professor Tang and Cao Dongliang, who were working hard. She walked over and smiled. “Grandpa Hu.”
Elder Hu turned to look at Chu Luo and asked with a smile, “Little girl, you’re here?”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “I heard from the butler that you came to look for me this morning. Is there something you need?”
“Haha, we went to ask if you’re done with your work. We’ll focus on our research next. Coincidentally, we need your good ideas.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. “I’ll go to school and apply for leave today. I won’t go to school next. Let’s go into seclusion together.”
“Haha, okay.”
At this moment, Professor Tang and Cao Dongliang walked over.
Professor Tang praised, “Little Chu, you’ve won glory for our Imperial University again. Your language talent is really shocking.”
Cao Dongliang also said, “That’s right. I didn’t expect you to know more than ten foreign languages. How did you achieve that?”
Chu Luo replied seriously, “Because I’m smart.”
When they heard this, the three of them laughed.
Chu Luo talked to the three of them for a while before Professor Tang told her alone, “Little Chu, when you’re free, let’s go to Old Master Sun’s place. His body is recovering well, but as an attending physician, you have to visit him often.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Let’s take the time to go over tomorrow morning.”
After the two of them finished talking, Chu Luo went to Imperial University.
When she and Roundy appeared by the door of Imperial University, everyone excitedly came up to congratulate her.
Chu Luo only nodded indifferently and walked into the school on her skateboard.
Everyone was used to her aloofness. Even after she left, everyone was still discussing her.
Chu Luo originally planned to go to the technology building to see if Neeson was there. Halfway through, she received a call from Yu Tong.
Yu Tong asked Chu Luo mysteriously on the phone, “Chu Luo, are you in school already?”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm”.
Yu Tong added, “Then come to the Student Union. Something happened to the president.”
Chu Luo wasn’t interested, but she still asked, “What happened?”
Yu Tong lowered her voice a little. “The president was beaten up. When I asked him to sign a document, he actually signed it with his left hand.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “He was actually beaten up?”
Yu Tong was a little worked up. “I’m curious too. Although the president is a little evil and likes to enslave us, he’s still a very good person. Why would someone hit him?”
Chu Luo thought for a while but wasn’t interested. “Why did you ask me to go over when he’s beaten up? Are you going to make me watch the show with you?”
“Pfft…” Yu Tong really thought so, but she definitely wouldn’t admit it. She said,” No matter what, the two of you are competitors now. Shouldn’t you be concerned about him? ”
After her reminder, Chu Luo suddenly remembered that she was running for the president of the Student Union and was even less interested. However, she wouldn’t be coming to school for a few days, so she decided to go to the Student Union and inform Nangong Yi. She turned the skateboard around and went to the Student Union.
It was almost class time, and there weren’t many people on the Student Union’s side.
Chu Luo went straight to the president’s office.
The door was closed. Chu Luo knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing “Come in.”
Nangong Yi happened to look up. When he saw that it was Chu Luo, he was stunned.
In the next second, he asked with a faint smile, “Junior, shouldn’t you be in class at this time? Why are you at the Student Union?”
Chu Luo looked at his right arm which was lying limply by his side and asked, “I heard that you were beaten up?”
The corners of Nangong Yi’s lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, “Did Yu Tong tell you that I was beaten up?”
Chu Luo didn’t answer him. She walked behind the desk and said, “I’ll take a leave for a while.”
Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows. “Junior, don’t forget that we’re running for president. By taking leave like this, does it mean that you’re prepared to give up on the competition?”
“Whatever. In any case, the principal of those universities have already agreed to give me the right to attend the foreign professors’ classes if I so wish.”
“…”
Nangong Yi was silent for nearly a minute before asking, “Junior, can I ask why you’re taking leave this time?”
Chu Luo looked at him.
Nangong Yi laughed. “If it concerns your privacy, pretend I didn’t ask. However, you have to give me a reason that everyone can accept. This way, even if you’re not in school, our competition can continue.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought for a while. She shook her head. “I can’t say.”
Nangong Yi: “…”
He realized that the junior in front of him was depressingly direct.
Shouldn’t she come up with some reason?
“Alright, alright, I won’t ask if you don’t tell me. But you have to give me a specific time. When exactly can you come back to school?”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “When it’s time to take the foreign language exams.”
There was still about half a month until the foreign language examinations. Nangong Yi was a little surprised that she had to be away for so long, but he didn’t ask further. He said, “Alright, I’ll help you tell everyone when the time comes.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Chu Luo prepared to leave. However, just as she was about to turn around, she turned her gaze back to him and said, “If your arm hurts so much that you can’t stand it, go have it treated.”
Nangong Yi smiled and asked, “How did you know that my arm is in so much pain that I can’t stand it?”
Chu Luo pointed at his shoulder. “Your right shoulder is drooping. I’m a doctor. Can’t I tell if it hurts?”
“Then… Doctor, can you help me see how serious my injury is?” Nangong Yi finally could bear to stand up from his seat. He walked up to Chu Luo and rolled up his sleeve to show her a large bruise on his right arm.
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at it for a while. She said affirmatively, “This injury was caused by a hard object.”
“Yeah.”
“But you’re lucky your bones aren’t broken.”
Nangong Yi laughed. “Junior, I’ll interpret that statement as your concern for me.”
Chu Luo smiled at him.
Nangong Yi pretended not to see and asked, “Junior, do you want to know who beat me up?”
Chu Luo looked at him, her eyes saying, “I’ll listen if you want to say it.”
Nangong Yi: “It’s that newly arrived Neeson from the School of Engineering.”
Chu Luo frowned when she heard Neeson’s name.
“Why did he beat you up?”
“Who knows? That person has a few very impressive robots. They just came up to beat me up.”
“So?”
“So, Junior, how should I return the beating?”
Chu Luo really helped him think for a while before saying, “My suggestion is that you go to the hospital and get your arm checked. As for beating him up, you can wait till you have the confidence to defeat his robots.”
Then, she said, “I have something on. Goodbye.”
With that, she left.
Nangong Yi laughed and looked at Chu Luo, who left just like that. He muttered, “What a heartless person!”
When Chu Luo walked out of the Student Union, she saw that it was already past the first class. She thought for a while and applied for leave.
By the time she was done, it was already past ten.
Only then did she go to the technology building at the School of Engineering.
When she arrived at the robot production floor, a professor happened to be teaching a class with his students.
When Chu Luo walked past the production room, coincidentally, a classmate saw her and said in surprise, “Everyone, look. Chu Luo is here too.”
When the others turned around to look at the door, Chu Luo had already walked over.
The person standing at the back wanted to follow her out to see where she went, but a stern voice sounded. “What are you guys doing during class? If anyone doesn’t want to go to class, go out immediately.”
Those who had wanted to go out immediately gave up on the idea.
