Chu Luo knew that he was deliberately testing her, so she smiled and replied, “If you think so.”
Nangong Yi nodded and said with a smile, “Why don’t we team up to PK tonight?”
“No time.”
“What do you have on?”
“Studying.”
“Hey… Junior, can’t you just rest for the night?”
Just as Nangong Yi finished speaking, the bike suddenly jolted and he almost fell.
He quickly stopped.
Chu Luo also stopped.
Nangong Yi took a look and said with a helpless expression, “The tire exploded.”
Then, he looked around and said helplessly, “This place is at least two kilometers away from the nearest parking spot.”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at his tire and nodded. “Then take your time pushing. I’ll leave first.”
Nangong Yi: “…Junior, shouldn’t you walk over with me at a time like this?”
Chu Luo merely glanced at him and left.
This made Nangong Yi stand there for a few minutes before laughing and shaking his head. “How heartless!”
After saying that, he could only push the bike slowly.
After walking for half a kilometer, he heard a bike bell from ahead.
Chu Luo quickly rode until she was in front of Nangong Yi and asked him, who was stunned, “Do you know how to repair tires?”
Nangong Yi shook his head honestly. “No.”
Chu Luo glanced at him as if he was really stupid. She stopped the bike and took out her phone to check. Then, she took tire-repairing tools and walked up to him. She gestured to him. “Stand the bike upside down.”
Nangong Yi: “Junior, you know how to repair tires?”
“I can easily find out online.”
After saying that, Chu Luo rolled up her sleeves and got ready to work.
Nangong Yi quickly stopped her. “I’ll do it. How embarrassing would it be to let a young girl like you help me fix my tire?”
Chu Luo nodded. “As the president of the Student Union, it’s indeed embarrassing for you to not know how to fix a tire.”
Nangong Yi felt stifled.
At this moment, Chu Luo’s phone rang.
She took it out to see that the caller was Li Yan and subconsciously smiled. “I’ll be back soon.”
Li Yan was obviously in the car and said to her, “I’ll wait for you outside the school.”
Chu Luo responded and hung up.
She put away her phone and said to Nangong Yi, “Take your time to fix it. I’m leaving.”
“Junior, are you really not going to help?”
“Nope.”
“Alright, leave.”
Chu Luo left immediately. As she walked, she said to him, “If you can’t fix your bike according to what you read on the Internet, call this number. The number is… I’ve asked the people in the school’s supermarket. There’s someone over there that knows how to fix a bike.”
Nangong Yi didn’t answer her. It was obvious that he wouldn’t call for help just to save face.
Chu Luo walked out of the school and happened to see Li Yan’s car parked in front of her.
After she got into the car, Li Yan asked her, “Are you still going to do experiments tonight?”
Chu Luo nodded. “I’m going to check on the herbs they planted today and set up the array.”
“Mm.”
The car stopped outside the laboratory villa. Chu Luo was about to get off when she saw that Li Yan was about to follow her. She asked, “You want to go in with me?”
Li Yan glanced at her, took out his sunglasses from his suit pocket, and put them on. He asked her, “Can I follow you in now?”
Chu Luo looked at him and laughed.
She raised her hand to take off his sunglasses and said awkwardly, “You look so strange like this.”
“Mm?”
“Wearing sunglasses at night, you really look like a big baddie.”
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her. In the next second, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, pretending to kiss her.
Chu Luo was startled and quickly tilted her head back.
Li Yan hugged her waist tightly and looked at her slender neck. He lowered his head and kissed her heavily.
Muack!
“Mm…”
Chu Luo quickly closed her lips and pushed him in dissatisfaction. “Big baddie, there’s someone here.”
Qin Ming, who was driving in front, looked forward and pretended not to see or hear anything.
Li Yan let go of her neck and hugged her tightly. He chuckled and asked, “What do I look like?”
“Like…”
When Li Yan made a move to kiss her again, Chu Luo quickly covered his mouth with her hands and changed the topic. “I can put something on your face. If Elder Hu and the others see you wearing sunglasses inside, their thoughts will definitely go wild.”
She then let go of his mouth.
Only then did Li Yan let go of her.
Chu Luo took out a small bottle of ointment from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and applied it to his face.
The two of them got off the car and walked into the villa.
Professor Tang and the other two weren’t outside.
The two of them went straight to the backyard.
The batch of herbs that came today had indeed been planted according to Chu Luo’s instructions.
Chu Luo looked around and picked up a few small stones of similar size on the ground before quickly placing them in several directions.
The array was quickly set up. She was about to dust off the soil on her hand when Li Yan took out a handkerchief and pulled her hand to wipe it.
Chu Luo looked at his serious expression and smiled. “I’ll follow Professor Tang and the others to do two hours of experiments later.”
“Mm.”
Just as Chu Luo was about to speak again, an unexpected voice came from behind. “Little Chu, you’re back?”
Chu Luo and Li Yan turned to look at the same time and saw Elder Hu standing there with his hands behind his back and smiling at them.
Chu Luo blushed and quickly retracted her hand from Li Yan’s. “Grandpa Hu.”
Elder Hu walked towards the two of them and stared at Li Yan, sizing him up. “This must be your boyfriend, right?”
“Right.”
“Haha, this young man looks really energetic.”
After Elder Hu finished speaking, he said to Chu Luo, “The batch of herbs that came today were all planted according to your request. I came over to take a look a few times today. To be honest, it seems like the other herb seedlings really seem to look more vibrant.”
“I knew it.” Chu Luo looked smug. “Planting herbs depends on the location.”
“Haha… I think you know something about metaphysics.”
“Hehe.”
As Elder Hu was old, he would come out for a stroll after doing some experiments. The two of them spoke for a while and prepared to enter together.
Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “You can go back first. I’ll go do the experiment.”
“Okay.”
Li Yan turned around and walked out of the villa.
Elder Hu glanced at the tall figure who had left and asked with a smile, “Little Chu, your boyfriend came all the way here. Are you going to let him go back like this?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled.
Every time Li Yan came, they would be doing experiments, so he didn’t see him.
Elder Hu seemed to have realized something. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that the young lady would be embarrassed, so he said, “Little Chu, although your boyfriend looks like a responsible person, you’re still young. You have to protect yourself before you do anything. Don’t regret it when the time comes.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them walked into the villa.
When Chu Luo walked out of the laboratory, Li Yan was already waiting for her at the door.
The two of them walked towards the villa in front. Chu Luo told him about their research progress.
“When all the herbs we plant mature, we can speed up the research process. It’s possible that we can develop the herbs we want in a month.”
“Mm.” Li Yan thought for a moment and told her, “We have to pause the research on the gaming capsule for a while.”
“Why?”
“The Qin family has been very active recently.”
“Did the Duanmu family not do anything?”
Chu Luo felt a little strange, so she stopped and tilted her head to look at him. “You want to deliberately let them suppress you?”
Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Li Yan bent down and carried her before continuing to walk.
Chu Luo hugged his neck and smiled.
Li Yan looked at her cherry lips and stopped himself from kissing her. He asked hoarsely, “Are you still going to study foreign languages tonight?”
“I am.”
Chu Luo had spoken to him in Korean.
Li Yan realized that her pronunciation had improved by a lot in just a few days. As he answered, he quickened his pace and quickly arrived at the bedroom.
Chu Luo was about to come down when Li Yan bent his long legs and the two of them entered the bathroom.
Two hours later, Chu Luo lay in Li Yan’s arms and patted him in dissatisfaction. “Big baddie! Didn’t you say you were going to teach me foreign languages?”
“Mm, I was teaching you physically just now.”
Li Yan tilted his head and kissed her slightly swollen lips. His voice became even more hoarse. “You still have the strength to speak. Looks like I didn’t work hard enough just now and didn’t teach you enough.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her rosy face turned even redder. She buried her head in his arm and closed her eyes. “I’m already asleep.”
Li Yan laughed at her actions, his laughter low and bewitching.
He pulled her close and said, “Good night, Baby.”
“Good night.”
Chu Luo quickly fell asleep. It was obvious that she was really tired.
Li Yan looked at her peaceful sleeping face and felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. He wished he could dive straight into her body.
At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Li Yan took the phone and glanced at the content. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
He gently let go of Chu Luo, got off the bed, put on his pants, and walked out of the door.
He didn’t return the call until he reached the study.
The other party said, “Master, the Qin family has already planted people in all the companies in the empire.”
Li Yan responded with an “Mm” and walked to his desk to sit down. He opened his laptop and quickly operated it for a while before saying, “Place them in… these places.”
“Yes.”
“Spread the news to the Duanmu family immediately.”
“Yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yan put on his earpiece and ordered coldly, “Send someone to monitor everyone in the Qin family. As soon as they find someone with special abilities, we’ll deal with them directly.”
