Chapter 110: Heart Twisted from Being Rejected?
Only then did Chu Luo realize that their bodies were pressed tightly together. She could feel his body temperature and…
Chu Luo’s face felt inexplicably hot. She scrambled to get up from his body and took a few steps back.
Li Yan glanced at her and said in a low voice, “I’ll leave Ocean City tomorrow.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly thought of serious matters and asked hurriedly, “What time are you leaving tomorrow?”
“In the morning.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and turned around to go back to the bedroom to get the university application form and pen. “Then help me sign this first.”
Li Yan took the form and pen and signed his name on it.
Satisfied, Chu Luo took the form and said as she walked towards the bedroom, “I’m going to sleep. Close the door of my house when you leave.”
Li Yan looked at the bedroom door that quickly closed and didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he leaned his head against the back of the chair, but he couldn’t shake off the sensation in his arms just now.
The little thing had grown some flesh, and it didn’t feel bad to hug her.
He planned to send more people to find a few famous chefs in the empire when he returned.
Chu Luo didn’t know that she was being raised as a “piglet” right now. After returning to the bedroom, she opened the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and took a look at the things inside.
What she saw shocked even Phoenix.
“Mistress, it’s actually Feng Lan’s Snow Mirror!”
In “Phoenix Skies,” all priests had special abilities. The items they used naturally carried a trace of their owner’s energy.
Feng Lan was her protector and also her younger sister. Her own strength wasn’t weak.
Chu Luo took out the snow mirror from the Heaven-and-Earth pouch. “It was originally an item with spiritual aura, but it is now covered with a layer of black aura. Phoenix, do you think this has something to do with the demonic cultivation technique she later practiced?”
“Mistress, be careful!”
When Chu Luo was holding the mirror, the black aura on the mirror wanted to drill into her palm.
“Hmph!”
Chu Luo snorted coldly. She tapped the mirror with her other hand and quickly chanted an incantation.
A while later, the black smoke was dispersed and it disappeared.
Only then did Chu Luo put the mirror back into the Heaven-and-Earth pouch.
Phoenix was a little worried and asked, “Mistress, why didn’t you destroy what she used?”
‘Since this mirror has been staying at Mr. Qian’s house for more than ten years, it must have left behind there a black aura. If I were to destroy the mirror now, it will alert the black aura there.’
Since she was going to destroy it, she had to get rid of it at the roots.
…
It rained all night in Ocean City, and the next morning, the sun finally rose.
Today was another sunny day.
When Chu Luo was done was.h.i.+ng up and was walking out of the bedroom, Auntie Wu had just sent breakfast over.
Since Li Yan didn’t come to her house, it meant that he had left.
Chu Luo wondered what she was going to do today.
After breakfast, Chu Luo received a call from one of the heads of Imperial University.
The two of them talked on the phone for a while. Finally, when they hung up, Chu Luo finally had a satisfied smile on her face.
She returned to the bedroom to get her university application form and quickly wrote down the university she wanted to enroll in. After placing it in her bag, she left.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the entrance of the district, her phone rang again.
It was Wei Xueying.
It was especially noisy on Wei Xueying’s side. As she walked, she asked, “Luoluo, when are you returning to the capital?”
When she reached a quiet corner, she complained, “Didn’t we agree to hold a celebration party for you? How are we going to hold it if you don’t come back?”
Chu Luo continued walking out the door. As she walked, she said, “I’m not free.”
“Hey! How can a child like you be busy?”
Someone from Wei Xueying’s side was calling her. She said, “It’s fine if you come back later. Coincidentally, Uncle has gone to the south to do something. You can come back with Uncle then, but let me tell you, you should stay away from that man.”
Chu Luo responded casually.
Wei Xueying had something important to attend to, so she hung up quickly.
Chu Luo looked at her phone. She could feel that Wei Xueying was willing to take care of her only because the Wei family heads had sent word. As for the other members of the Wei family, Chu Luo suddenly sneered.
Her principle was not to take the initiative to cause trouble. If trouble were to come looking for her, then don’t blame her for being rude.
Chu Luo went to the school to submit the university application form.
The entire cla.s.s pulled Chu Luo along to go to a gathering again.
Someone suggested, “Why don’t we go to a mountain villa for graduation dinner? We can still play for two days. In the future, we won’t be in the same school. We have to cherish our last moments together.”
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
…
Many people agreed with this suggestion. Everyone looked at Chu Luo and looked at her expectantly.
Chu Luo had been preparing to finish watching all the video lessons that Professor Wu had sent her during these past few days. Thinking that she could learn wherever she went, she agreed.
The mountain villa that everyone went to was called the Li Villa. It was Li Tao’s family’s property, and all expenses were waived.
Once they arrived at the villa, many people started playing around.
Only Chu Luo carried her backpack and went to the room prepared for her.
Looking at Chu Luo’s departing back, He Jiang nudged Li Tao with his elbow and winked at him. “I say… did she agree to your confession to her last time?”
Li Tao threw up his hands and asked, “Do you think her att.i.tude towards me looks like she has agreed?”
“No.” After He Jiang answered honestly, he advised, “I think Chu Luo isn’t a fairy we can dream of. You should give up on this idea. Instead of thinking about fairies who don’t have feelings for you every day, it’s better to play a few games.”
The two of them walked towards the rooms that they had been a.s.signed to. As they walked, He Jiang asked, “Did you watch the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ Imperial Tournament a few days ago?”
“Of course. It’s such an important compet.i.tion.”
“Who do you think [Bai Ling] is? I have a feeling that [Bai Ling] is a girl.”
“How is that possible? How can girls be that amazing at the game?”
“How is that impossible? Look at Chu Luo. Previously, didn’t we also think that it was impossible for her to get first place in the country? Didn’t she turn that impossibility into a possibility?”
When Li Tao heard this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He suddenly said, “Do you think Chu Luo will agree if we go and find her to play a few rounds?”
He Jiang looked at him. “What do you want?”
“Nothing much. I just felt indignant after being rejected. I thought about how she suppressed me in terms of studies and mercilessly rejected me twice. I had to get back at her for this.”
He Jiang: “…Your heart has become too twisted from being rejected, huh?”
“Who cares what you say? Do you want to go find her with me?”
“Sure. What if Chu Luo doesn’t know how to play games? How embarra.s.sing would it be if you went to look for her like this and were mercilessly scolded by her? I’ll have to be responsible for saving you from this embarra.s.sment.”
Li Tao’s lips twitched. “Thank you, then.”
Chu Luo had just finished watching a video when there was a knock on the door.
Then, there came He Jiang’s voice. “Chu Luo, are you there?”
Chu Luo walked over and opened the door, only to see He Jiang and Li Tao standing outside.
“What is it?” she asked.
He Jiang smiled and asked, “There are many fun places in this mountain villa. Why did you lock yourself in your room the moment you arrived? Why don’t we go play together?”
“I’m not free. I’m watching a video lesson.”
“The exams are already over, why are you still watching video lessons?”
“It’s for computer engineering.”
He Jiang: “…”
Li Tao: “…”
The two of them only thought, “Holy s.h.i.+t!” Only these two words could express their current feelings.
Chu Luo looked at the two of them who suddenly just stood there and asked, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll continue watching the video.”
With that, she closed the door.
Li Tao quickly reached out to hold the door. “Chu Luo, do you know how to play games? It’s so boring to watch videos. Let’s play two rounds of games together.”
Chu Luo looked at the two of them for two seconds and asked, “What game? Are you not going to disturb me after that?”
The two of them swallowed hard.
Li Tao nodded heavily. “Yes.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo walked in and said, “Come in. We’ll play a game. You can leave after that.”
He Jiang and Li Tao looked at each other. Their eyes were similarly lit up by Chu Luo’s “merciless” fighting spirit. At this moment, He Jiang didn’t care if Chu Luo knew how to play or not. The two of them carried the laptop they had brought and walked in.
The three of them put their laptops on the dining table and connected to the wireless Internet.
Li Tao said, “We’ll play ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”
After saying that, he looked up and asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, do you know how to play?”
Chu Luo replied, “Yes.”
After saying that, she was about to log in to her account when she suddenly remembered that these two were her cla.s.smates and she shouldn’t deal them with too great a blow.
She thought for a moment and called w.a.n.g Mingtao.
The moment the other party picked up the call, she said, “What’s your game account?”
w.a.n.g Mingtao didn’t even ask and gave her his account pa.s.sword.
Chu Luo logged in and hung up.
He Jiang and Li Tao looked at each other.
The two of them thought at the same time: “She even borrowed an account from someone else. She definitely doesn’t know how to play the game. Should we go easy on her and not hurt her too much?”
However…
How fragrant!
The two of them were beaten up to the point of not being able to retaliate, and in less than ten minutes, they had turned into two corpses.
Chu Luo looked up from her computer and announced, “You can leave now.”
He Jiang and Li Tao were silent for two minutes.
Li Tao looked at her with mixed feelings and asked, “Chu Luo, when did you learn to play games? And how come you’re so good at it?”
“After the college entrance examination.”
“…”
