Chu Luo walked up the stairs and bent down to pick up the piece of paper.
The girl looked at Chu Luo strangely and wondered why Chu Luo picked up a scrap of paper.
At this moment, Chu Luo asked the girl, “Didn’t anyone bring Yang Ting to the school doctor’s office?”
“Yang Ting kept crying and refused to go.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo frowned. “Take me to your dormitory to see Yang Ting.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked to the door of Yang Ting’s dormitory on the fourth floor and heard cries and persuasion coming from the dormitory.
“Yang Ting, let’s take you to the school doctor’s office to have you checked. Your hand is already so swollen. What if it’s really…”
“I’m not going… Boohoo… I’m participating in the competition today. Even if I go to the school doctor’s office to get it checked now, it won’t heal immediately. Professor Chen likes me so much, I can’t let him down. Boohoo…”
“If Professor Chen heard that your hand got injured, he would definitely ask you to go to the school doctor’s office immediately.”
“Don’t tell him!” Yang Ting shouted agitatedly and started crying again.
The girl standing beside Chu Luo said with a nod, “Yang Ting is used to being confident. She originally planned to clinch first place for Imperial University, but she didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. She couldn’t accept it, so she kept crying.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and frowned. To be honest, if this person wasn’t a student at Imperial University, she would have turned around and left.
She really didn’t like people who only knew how to cry when they encountered something.
Chu Luo pushed open the door.
When the people inside heard the commotion, they subconsciously looked over.
Chu Luo looked at the tearful Yang Ting and said straightforwardly, “If you don’t appear in the competition today, others will only think that you retreated at the last minute. At that time, not only will your professor be disappointed, but your classmates who support you will also be disappointed.”
“Boohoo…”
“Shut up!”
Chu Luo let out a low shout and Yang Ting was instantly stunned.
Chu Luo said with a dark face, “If you don’t even have the courage to face this, what right do you have to represent Imperial University in this competition?”
“I…”
Yang Ting was anxious and afraid to begin with. Previously, everyone had been comforting her, but after being suddenly criticized by Chu Luo in such a straightforward manner, she suddenly couldn’t adapt to it and became a little angry. She shouted at Chu Luo angrily:
“You have no idea how I feel right now. Do you know how long I’ve prepared and how much I’ve sacrificed for this competition? I broke my hand now and can’t go to the competition at all. It’s fine if you don’t comfort me, but you actually dare to make such sarcastic remarks! Chu Luo, you’re too much!”
“Too much?” Chu Luo sneered. “No student at Imperial University doesn’t put in effort when participating in competitions. If everyone was like you, crying after being dealt a blow, I think you wouldn’t have to get your hands checked. Forget it, don’t draw anymore. People like you won’t be able to draw anything spectacular.”
“You… you…”
Yang Ting was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
The others remained silent.
Chu Luo suddenly walked towards Yang Ting and grabbed her wrist.
Yang Ting’s expression changed drastically as she screamed, “Ah… Chu Luo, you… what are you trying to do?”
The other girls were also shocked.
“Chu Luo, don’t be rash.”
“Chu Luo, Yang Ting can’t move her hand anymore.”
“Chu…”
“Ah…”
Amid Yang Ting’s scream, all the girls were stunned to see her break out in a cold sweat.
Ten seconds later, Chu Luo let go of Yang Ting and took out a bottle of medicine. She poured it on Yang Ting’s wound and turned to one of the girls who was stunned. “Go get a dry towel.”
“Oh, oh.” The girl subconsciously retrieved a dry towel.
Chu Luo wrapped the towel around Yang Ting’s wound before taking a step back and announcing, “Alright, you can try to move it.”
Everyone: “???”
What happened?
Yang Ting did not believe Chu Luo’s words at all. Her body was still stuck in that intense pain.
Seeing that she wasn’t moving, the girl standing beside Yang Ting subconsciously moved her hand.
“Ah…” Yang Ting abruptly stopped after a short cry of surprise.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. She gently moved her hand and said in surprise, “My hand doesn’t hurt so much anymore.”
After saying this, her face fell again. “But even then, I can’t participate in the competition like this.”
“If you can’t participate, call your professor and tell him. This is a special situation. Your professor will understand. If you don’t say anything, your professor will be disappointed.”
This time, the girls standing beside her stood on Chu Luo’s side at the same time. A girl went to give Yang Ting her phone, “Yang Ting, Chu Luo is right. Give Professor a call and tell him about your situation.”
“I…”
Yang Ting wouldn’t take the phone for a long time.
The girl who handed her the phone got anxious and helped her dial the number directly.
Yang Ting could only tell the professor about this matter uneasily. Nobody knew what the other party said, but Yang Ting started crying again and said, “Professor, I’m sorry.”
Then, she hung up.
Chu Luo really didn’t like this kind of girl. She turned around and left.
“Chu Luo.”
Yang Ting had called her from behind.
Chu Luo waved at her and said, “I don’t like people like you who only know how to cry when faced with a problem. If you can’t change this personality, you’d better stay away from me when you see me in the future.”
The girls looked at Yang Ting, whose expression had changed several times. They actually felt that the fierce Chu Luo at this moment was very adorable.
When Chu Luo walked down the stairs, she stopped on the stairs between the second and third floors. She took out the scrap of paper she had picked up earlier. There was a small figurine drawn on it and that small figurine had lost a hand.
Seeing this, Chu Luo quickly swiped her finger across it a few times. The corners of her lips curled up coldly.
“Hmph, you want our art students to not be able to participate in the competition? I’ll have to disappoint you.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she walked downstairs.
The moment she walked out of the girls’ dormitory, she saw Nangong Yi standing by the door.
When Nangong Yi saw her come out, he went up to her and asked, “Chu Luo, how is Yang Ting?”
Chu Luo replied calmly, “It’s alright. She just can’t participate in the competition anymore.”
“…”
Chu Luo glanced at the suddenly silent Nangong Yi and continued walking forward.
Nangong Yi followed her and said, “Since Yang Ting can’t participate in the competition, we can only get someone else to take her place.”
“Mm.” Chu Luo wasn’t very concerned. “This is for the College of Arts to settle.”
Nangong Yi looked at Chu Luo’s profile and was actually speechless.
Chu Luo and Nangong Yi quickly walked to the car parked there. Chu Luo turned to Nangong Yi and said, “Since you’re here, go and see if the others are done with their preparations. I’ll go eat breakfast first. I’ll go over after I’m done.”
Nangong Yi: “…”
He hadn’t eaten breakfast either.
After Chu Luo got into the car, the car drove away.
She opened her hand and looked at the piece of paper in it that had turned slightly red. Her lips curled up.
Li Yan glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
Chu Luo felt his gaze and said to Li Yan, “Someone wants Imperial University to stop participating in the competition.”
At this point, her expression turned cold. “Hmph! How dare that person be impudent in Imperial University. Don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Do you know who did it?”
“It’s all written here.”
Chu Luo showed him the paper scraps. “This is a paper effigy. It’s deliberately made into paper scraps so that even people who know what this is can’t tell.”
“How do you plan to deal with such a person?”
“I duplicated all the pain in Yang Ting’s hand onto that person. I’ll let him try the pain of not being able to lift a pen.”
When Li Yan heard this, he chuckled and didn’t continue. He asked her, “Where do you want to go for breakfast?”
“It’s already seven. Let’s go to the school restaurant.”
“Mm.”
Li Yan drove to the school restaurant closest to the third hall.
At this moment, many students had already come to eat. They were surprised to see Chu Luo and Li Yan getting out of the car.
“Chu Luo’s boyfriend can actually drive a car inside the school. Is he also a professor here?”
With this guess, many girls were excited.
“That’s great. Although the hunk is Chu Luo’s, it’s not bad to let us see him often.”
“Indeed, every time I see Chu Luo and her boyfriend, I have a feeling that besides each other, no one else is worthy of them.”
“This is a celestial combination.”
“But… Didn’t the school stipulate that students and professors can’t date?”
“Tsk, Chu Luo is here. Her boyfriend just came. Maybe he followed Chu Luo here. This way, the school won’t be able to meddle in this.”
…
After the two of them walked in, they went to order and queued up to get food.
Everyone peeked at the two of them.
Chu Luo didn’t mind at all, and Li Yan maintained his usual cold and noble demeanor.
However, when someone took out their phone to secretly take photos of them, Li Yan glared at them. The person who took the photo quietly put away his phone.
At this moment, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “I forgot to bring the clothes over. I’ll call the butler later and ask him to put the clothes in Roundy’s stomach and get him to send them over.”
“Mm, I’m going to leave for a while after eating. Call me when you’re done here.”
“I don’t suppose I’ll be able to leave after this. I have to deal with the aftermath.”
“Okay. Call me when it ends.”
“Mm.”
Soon, it was their turn. Li Yan bought breakfast and the two of them found a table to eat.
After the meal, Li Yan left.
