Other than reporting to the specializations that she had confirmed with the school earlier, Chu Luo also had to report to Professor Wu.
The bunch of them walked towards the computer science faculty building.
When they reached the office building, Chu Luo said to them, “I’ll go up alone. Wait for me here.”
They stopped.
All the faculty members were on duty at this time, especially Professor Wu. He had just returned from abroad and was one of the developers of the gaming capsule. He had been at the school this summer.
When Chu Luo walked into the office building, she was a little surprised to meet a few undergraduate teachers.
“Isn’t this Chu Luo who scored full marks in the college entrance examination this year? Why did she come to the office building directly?”
“She might be here to greet a teacher she knows.”
…
Professor Wu’s office was on the third floor, at the end of the corridor. The office building was huge, and there were dozens of rooms on each floor. Chu Luo went to the location that Professor Wu had told her.
Just as she walked out of an office door, that office suddenly opened from inside. A middle-aged man wearing a blue turtleneck and a short-sleeved t-shirt, his hair neatly combed back, walked out with a folder under his armpit.
As the two of them passed each other, the middle-aged man deliberately sized up Chu Luo with a scrutinizing gaze.
Chu Luo had just walked past him when the middle-aged man called out to her from behind, “You’re Chu Luo, right?”
Chu Luo stopped and turned to look at him. “Yes.”
The middle-aged man looked at her and said in a serious tone, “Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t be too high-profile. This is a prestigious educational institute where talents are produced, not a high school in a small place like where you came from.
“In your world, you might be a top student. But here, everyone has to learn new things. We don’t know if you are a mule or a horse yet. Don’t end up becoming another Shang Zhongyong[1].”
Chu Luo looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of her and nodded without saying anything.
The middle-aged man turned around and left.
Chu Luo continued walking towards Professor Wu’s office.
Professor Wu’s office was not closed tightly. As soon as Chu Luo knocked on the door, a voice said, “Please come in.”
Chu Luo walked in.
“Professor Wu.”
“Little Chu, you’re here.” Professor Wu was typing on his computer when he gestured to her. “Take a seat for now. I’ll reply to an email first.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo waited for a few minutes before Professor Wu stopped. He smiled and took out a form from his desk for her. “Fill in this form first. I’ll submit it to the school’s heads. As long as the school seals it, you will officially be my student.”
Chu Luo took the form and quickly finished scanning through it. She took a pen and started to fill in the blanks.
While she was filling in the form, Professor Wu asked, “Little Chu, the school stipulates that all freshmen have to undergo military training. However, in the next month, the Blazing Glory Gaming Corporation will send a batch of technicians to help me perfect the gaming capsule. Do you want to undergo military training or come with me?”
“Go with you, of course.”
“Then I’ll go and talk to the school’s heads personally. You don’t have to go to the military training then.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them talked about the simulation chamber for a while.
After Chu Luo’s “Battle of Lightyears” finals, the Blazing Glory Gaming Department had invited her to be a developer of the gaming capsule. Therefore, it would be her duty to work with Professor Wu.
In the end, Professor Wu said, “I’ll send you all the data of the gaming capsule in the next two days. The database is too large. Try and understand as much as you can. If you encounter trouble, come and ask me about it anytime.”
“Okay.”
When Chu Luo walked out of Professor Wu’s office, it was already more than half an hour later.
She had just reached the stairs when her phone rang.
It was Tang Heping.
Chu Luo was a little surprised. Previously, she had asked Doctor Tang to tell Chu Zhengyang that she was going to the US, and she hadn’t had any contact with Doctor Tang ever since. She didn’t expect him to call her at this time.
Chu Luo picked up the call.
At this moment, Tang Heping must be walking with a large group of people. There was a series of footsteps and voices coming from the other side first, followed by Tang Heping’s voice. “Little Chu, you still remember me, right?”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Is there something you want from me, Doctor Tang?”
Tang Heping said, “I want to ask if you went to Imperial University to report today.”
Chu Luo: “Yes.”
Tang Heping said, “Then wait for me at Imperial University. I should be able to rush over in half an hour.”
Chu Luo was dumbfounded.
Tang Heping continued, “I’ve already applied to the school. When the time comes, I’ll directly recruit you as my student.”
At this point, he asked, “Little Chu, are you willing?”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. Tang Heping thought that she didn’t agree and said in frustration, “I’d originally planned to contact you to discuss this with you, but I went to XX Medical University in Germany for a month and couldn’t find the time there. That’s why this matter dragged until today.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. Previously, she hadn’t planned on studying medicine. To her, her medical skills could beat all doctors.
However… since Tang Heping had the intention and there were many medical equipment and treatment methods that she had never seen before in this world, she could learn from him.
She said, “Okay.”
Tang Heping heaved a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
When Chu Luo went out, she saw the others waiting for her.
Chu Luo walked over and said to Li Yan, “We have to wait for a while before we can go back. I have to see someone later.”
Li Yan nodded and put the cap on her head.
“See who? Are you going now?” Tang Zhiyun asked.
“No need. That person is still outside the school. I’ll be back in an hour.”
Chu Luo briefly told them about the call she had just received.
“What? Professor Tang from the medical school wants to take on Junior as his student?!”
The four of them obviously knew who Tang Heping was and were shocked.
Then, Tang Zhiyun told her excitedly, “Professor Tang is a famous professor in the medical school and an expert doctor in the city hospital. He hasn’t taken on any students in a long time, but he made an exception and asked Junior to be his student directly!”
Tang Zhiyun and the others were obviously more excited than Chu Luo and expressed that they wanted to send Chu Luo over.
Before they saw Professor Tang Heping, they were already discussing where to celebrate for Chu Luo.
But before they could leave the Computer Science Department, Tang Zhiyun and the others were called away by a call from the department.
When they left, Xie Minghai said reluctantly, “Brother Chu, Junior, if we can come out at noon, let’s eat together.”
Chu Luo nodded at them. “Okay.”
After Tang Zhiyun and the others left, only Chu Luo, Li Yan, and Wang Mingtao were left.
Li Yan asked, “Are we going to the medical school or should we find a place to sit and wait?”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “Let’s go to the medical school first.”
As Wang Mingtao walked, he used his phone to check the distance between the computer and the medical schools. He exclaimed.
“Brother Chu, Sister Chu, it’s more than four kilometers from here to the medical school. We have to ride a bike there.”
Chu Luo asked, “Do you still have the school card on you?”
His own was with Chu Luo.
Wang Mingtao shook his head and said in frustration, “If I’d known earlier, I would have asked the seniors to leave two cards with me. What should we do now?”
Li Yan glanced at him. “You stay behind. Luoluo and I will go over.”
“Eh? Alright.” Wang Mingtao actually wanted to follow them, but in this situation, he could only dismiss the thought.
He sent the two of them to the parking lot and said as he walked, “There’s only one card. Why don’t you wait for Sister Chu here with me, Brother Chu?”
Li Yan and Chu Luo didn’t answer him.
The three of them quickly arrived at the parking spot. Li Yan took out his card from his pocket and scanned for a bike.
Wang Mingtao was about to say something when Li Yan took the front seat and Chu Luo sat in the back.
At this moment, Chu Luo said to him, “If you’re bored, you can look for the seniors. I’ll come back to look for you after I’m done talking to Professor Tang.”
Li Yan rode off.
Wang Mingtao subconsciously nodded. He looked at the two of them and scratched his head. “Didn’t Sister Chu say that she won’t sit in the back?”
Chu Luo grabbed Li Yan’s shirt with both hands and looked at the scenery on both sides. She said with a smile, “In the future, when I go to school, I’ll ride a bike every day. From this school to that school, I can tour half of Imperial University.”
Li Yan didn’t reply.
The two of them arrived at the medical school. Coincidentally, there were more people registering now.
Those who came early were basically from the city. At this moment, many people from other cities had already arrived.
The two of them alighted at the registration venue for the medical school. Chu Luo glanced at the sea of people in front and said to Li Yan, “Let’s take a detour. There are too many people at the junction ahead.”
After saying that, she wanted to take off her hat.
However, Li Yan pressed her down with his large hand.
Li Yan’s tone was stern. “Wear it.”
Chu Luo pouted at him. “It’s a little hot.”
Li Yan took out a wet tissue from her backpack and wiped her face with a serious expression. “You won’t feel hot after you wipe your face.”
Chu Luo: “…”
At this moment, someone in front discovered Chu Luo.
Some people were already excited.
“That girl is Chu Luo, right?”
“She must be. She’s the only one who’s so beautiful.”
“Heavens, I didn’t expect to meet Chu Luo on my first day here. No, I have to go say hello to her.”
“I want to go too.”
Just as they walked over, Li Yan swept his cold gaze across them. While they were stunned, he pulled Chu Luo’s hand and walked towards the side of the road.
When the two of them disappeared at the end of the road, those people suddenly jolted back to their senses.
“Who’s that man holding Chu Luo’s hand? His eyes are so scary!”
“Could he be Chu Luo’s boyfriend?”
“It must be. Why else would Chu Luo let a man hold her hand?”
“Is my first love gone just like that? I’m so sad…”
…
Before coming to Imperial University to report, many of the freshmen had fantasized about having a campus romance with Chu Luo. With Li Yan’s actions, their thoughts were immediately stuck at the budding stage.
As Chu Luo was led away by him, she finally realized what he was thinking. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said, “Are you worried that those people will snatch me away?”
“I’m not worried,” Li Yan said domineeringly and confidently. “I won’t let anyone snatch you away.”
He came here today only to let everyone know that this little thing was already taken. If anyone was still blind, then don’t blame him for being rude.
At this moment, a figure quickly left.
Chu Luo and Li Yan looked in that direction at the same time.
“Someone was secretly taking pictures!”
