When Chu Luo returned, Li Yan wasn’t back yet, but he had sent a text message saying that he would pick her up at the hospital tonight.
Chu Luo changed and went to the hospital.
Old Master Sun’s waking time was getting longer by the day. When Chu Luo went over, he had just woken up.
Old Master Sun hadn’t seen Chu Luo these last few days and could only hear about her from other people. When he saw her today, disbelief quickly flashed across his eyes. He was so excited that he extended his hand to her. His lips were trembling non-stop, and it was obvious that he wanted to say something.
Professor Tang and Third Master Sun were a little surprised.
Chu Luo walked over, then held Old Master’s hand and placed it under the blanket. With a stern face, she said to him, “Grandpa Sun, you can’t be too agitated right now.”
Old Master allowed Chu Luo to put his hand back, but he looked at her without blinking. As he looked on, two rows of tears actually flowed out.
Chu Luo and the other two were shocked.
Third Master Sun quickly went over to comfort him. “Father, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Little Chu.”
After saying that, he quickly wiped his tears with a tissue.
Professor Tang looked at Old Master Sun and guessed, “Could it be that Old Master Sun knows Chu Luo?”
“How is that possible?” Chu Luo recalled the people she had met in the past 18 years and the people she interacted with in the Chu family. She denied it. “I’ve never seen Old Master Sun before.”
Third Master Sun said to Chu Luo, “Maybe my father got the wrong person. Little Chu, don’t mind him.”
Chu Luo acknowledged that and looked at Old Master Sun, who had been staring at her intently. “Grandpa Sun, let me check on you first.”
Third Master Sun quickly moved aside. Chu Luo checked his health stats and said to Third Master Sun, “Grandpa Sun’s recovery is alright, but if he wants to get better, he has to treat the old illness that has been left untreated since he was young.”
Third Master Sun looked worried when he heard this.
Hearing Chu Luo say this, Professor Tang guessed that she had an idea. He asked, “Little Chu, do you have any good ideas to treat Old Master Sun’s old illness during this period of time?”
Third Master Sun suddenly stood up and bowed to her. “If Little Chu can cure Old Master’s old illness, you will be our family’s great benefactor. Our entire family will be endlessly grateful to you.”
Professor Tang was shocked by Third Master Sun’s attitude. He wanted to say that he was just guessing. Now that Third Master Sun was being so serious about asking Chu Luo for help, he was a little worried about her.
Chu Luo looked at the determined Third Master Sun and knew that his family was made up of legendary heroes. She suddenly thought of the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Phoenix Skies and felt her heart skip a beat. She said, “I’ll do my best.”
After saying that, she looked at Old Master Sun, who had been looking at her. “I won’t come over often after this, but I’ll come to insert silver needles for Grandpa Sun once a week. When Grandpa Sun is about to be discharged, I’ll write down a prescription to nurture his constitution.”
Third Master Sun quickly said, “Thank you, Little Chu.”
Chu Luo shook her head. “Since you let me treat Grandpa Sun, I will definitely find a way to treat his illness.”
After saying that, Chu Luo inserted a silver needle into Old Master Sun.
By the time she was done, it was almost ten o’clock.
Chu Luo and Professor Tang had just walked out of the courtyard when Chu Luo’s phone rang.
Chu Luo said to Professor Tang, “Professor Tang, the person who’s picking me up is here.”
Professor Tang nodded at her and said, “Little Chu’s boyfriend, right? You can leave first.”
Chu Luo nodded and left first.
Outside the hospital, a car drove over at the same time. When Chu Luo walked over, the car stopped in front of her.
The back window rolled down a little to reveal Li Yan’s face. “Luoluo, get in.”
Chu Luo opened the car door and got in. She was a little surprised that he had brought a chauffeur with him today. Moreover, he had a laptop on his lap.
Chu Luo looked at his computer and then at his especially dark and cold face. She immediately realized that something was wrong. “You’re unhappy? Who provoked you?”
Li Yan looked at her with a smile and reached out to hold her hand. His voice was low. “Someone is defaming you.”
Chu Luo was stunned and quickly moved in to look at the computer screen. It was actually Imperial University’s BBS interface.
Chu Luo turned to look at him and poked his cheek. “Don’t be angry. This person must be jealous of me. When I get back, I’ll teach them the consequences of defaming me.”
“I’ve already helped you teach that person a lesson.”
“Eh?”
Chu Luo looked at the screen again and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You actually exposed my defamer and even hung it in the world channel.”
“Mm, this person must have been instigated by someone. Let’s see how he reacts next.”
Chu Luo looked at the comments on the forum with him.
“This student is really pitiful. He actually slandered Chu Luo and caused himself to be hung in the world channel. Lu Liangren? Why is this person’s name so familiar?”
“Hearing what the person above said, I remember now. Isn’t this person a professional slanderer of our Imperial University’s beauties?”
“That’s right, that’s right. This person can’t stand all the beautiful girls. He has defamed all the four great beauties in our school. I didn’t expect him to start defaming Chu Luo now.”
“So… what he said remains to be proven.”
“But it’s true that Chu Luo didn’t go to military training. If she doesn’t have a background so influential that even the school has to give way, do you think she can become an exception in the history of Imperial University?”
“That’s right. Chu Luo didn’t participate in the military training. All the freshmen have been talking about it after the military training. It can’t be fake. Moreover, Chu Luo was sent by her boyfriend on her first day at Imperial University. Who knows what her boyfriend’s identity is and whether they are boyfriend and girlfriend!”
“In any case, I don’t believe Chu Luo is such a person!”
“She’s so beautiful. Isn’t it normal for her to have suitors? Aren’t you curious where she went this month?”
“Everyone, stop arguing. We’ll know the school’s attitude tomorrow when we see if the school has asked her to speak at their freshman assembly.”
“That doesn’t mean anything. If she doesn’t go up to speak, maybe she simply chose not to.”
“Who wouldn’t want to go if such a good opportunity is presented to them? Do you believe that yourself?”
…
Chu Luo looked up at Li Yan from the comments and smiled. “Looks like the person who spread the rumors is more meticulous and knows to find such a person.”
“We can ask that Lu Liangren later.”
Chu Luo shook her head. “It’s so boring to ask tonight. Wouldn’t it be more fun to ask after the freshman assembly tomorrow?”
Li Yan closed his laptop and placed his palm on Chu Luo’s cheek. He frowned slightly, clearly unhappy that she was still letting those people defame her.
Chu Luo rubbed her cheek against his palm and grabbed his hand to take it off. She said, “Don’t be angry.”
Li Yan responded with an “Mm” and tilted his head to kiss her.
Chu Luo quickly pushed him. Looking into his eyes, she said, “You’re not to kiss me outside.”
Li Yan was provoked by her gaze and wished he could grab her and kiss her fiercely for a while. However, he didn’t want his little thing’s beautiful side to be seen by outsiders, so he controlled his thoughts.
When the car arrived at a street away from Imperial University, Li Yan asked the chauffeur to stop the car. He put a mask on Chu Luo before the two of them got out.
After the students started school, the streets near Imperial University were especially lively. Especially at night, it was packed.
Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Do you want to go back to the old district tomorrow night?”
Chu Luo thought for a while and shook her head. “I’m participating in the Cybersecurity Competition with the seniors from the first to the third of the month.”
Li Yan nodded. He would be very busy during the National Day period, so Chu Luo could stay at Imperial University.
The two of them walked to an ice cream shop. Chu Luo watched as the girls came out with ice cream in their hands and couldn’t move her feet.
Li Yan had been holding her hand. Seeing that she had slowed down, he followed her gaze and led her over.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ll buy you ice cream.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up uncontrollably.
The two of them walked into the ice cream shop and Li Yan glanced at the signboard coldly.
That gaze stunned the lady standing behind the counter.
The young lady exclaimed in her heart, ‘Who is this person? His aura is so strong, but he’s so handsome!’
“What flavor do you want to eat?”
“That, that, that…” Chu Luo wanted to try everything, so she pointed at seven or eight of them.
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her and reached out to put down her finger. He said to the cashier, “We’ll have one with the original flavor.”
Chu Luo glared at him in dissatisfaction. “I didn’t ask for the original flavor!”
“There’s some pigment added in the ones here. If you want to eat those, get the chef to prepare them.”
Chu Luo reluctantly shut her mouth.
The cashier lady standing there screamed in her heart, ‘Ahhh… Indeed, cool and handsome men all dote on their girlfriends so much. I’m so envious! So jealous!’
Chu Luo walked out with the ice cream before remembering that she was wearing a mask. She moved to remove it.
However, Li Yan stopped her.
Chu Luo looked at him in confusion.
Li Yan tilted his body and shielded her in his arms before saying, “Eat.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Next, as soon as Chu Luo ate her ice cream, Li Yan shielded her with his body.
When Chu Luo finished eating the ice cream, she looked up and asked him, “Why do you keep blocking me?”
Li Yan looked at her and saw that there was still some ice cream on the corner of her lips. He raised his finger to wipe it off for her. When Chu Luo’s face became a little red, he said, “There are many people here.”
He didn’t want everyone to stare at her.
