Chapter 232 - Being Stopped and Picked On
Chapter 232: Being Stopped and Picked On
After the freshman mobilization meeting ended, everyone walked out of the hall.
When Chu Luo walked out, she saw He Jiang and Li Tao waiting for her.
“Chu Luo.”
When He Jiang called out, some people who had deliberately slowed down to peek at Chu Luo looked at the two of them.
Li Tao nudged him with his elbow. “Keep a low profile. Do you think Chu Luo isn’t famous enough?”
He Jiang gritted his teeth. “Chu Luo doesn’t even care how famous she is. Are you worried?”
With that, he walked towards Chu Luo.
Li Tao quickly followed.
Chu Luo waited for the two of them to approach before asking, “What is it?”
He Jiang gave her a thumbs up. “Chu Luo, you’re still so arrogant!”
Li Tao couldn’t help but say, “Everyone says that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Imperial University. Aren’t you afraid that real experts will come knocking on your door?”
Chu Luo looked calm. “So what if they come knocking on my door? It’s not embarrassing to lose once. I won’t let myself lose a second time.”
This time, Li Tao couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Your mentality is so good that I can’t compare to you.”
“Wrong. You’re not as good as me in many aspects.”
“…” Li Tao was silent for a few seconds. “Chu Luo, can you not be so vicious with your words? We haven’t seen each other in three months. Let’s go have dinner tonight.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and shook her head. “I’m not free tonight.”
“Why not? Do you have a date with your boyfriend?”
The two of them had heard about Chu Luo’s boyfriend the moment they arrived at Imperial University.
Li Tao couldn’t help but gloat. “That person who wasn’t afraid of death just now actually dared to ask in front of the entire batch if he could pursue you. I can already see his miserable future… Also, your boyfriend, how unlucky must he be to be with you?”
Chu Luo looked at him with a straight face.
He Jiang patted Li Tao with an indecent smile.
Li Tao shook off his hand.
Chu Luo asked the two of them, “What specialization did you enroll in?”
He Jiang: “I’m in the College of Education. I plan to walk the path of an educator in the future.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Very good.”
“I’m a mathematics major.” Li Tao pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “Since you’re studying computer science, why don’t you study mathematics? You can use mathematics anywhere…”
Li Tao spoke for a few minutes. In the end, He Jiang couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Li Tao, if you continue, Chu Luo will leave.”
Chu Luo really had such thoughts and nodded in agreement.
Li Tao: “…”
Li Tao: “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going back to Ocean City during National Day?”
“Yeah, but it has to be on the fourth. I’ll go see Teacher Gao.”
“Then let’s meet at Old Gao’s house.”
“Sure.”
After the three of them agreed, Chu Luo left.
She hadn’t gone far when her phone rang.
It was a call from an unknown number, but Chu Luo remembered that it was Nangong Yi’s number.
Chu Luo answered the call. “Hello.”
Nangong Yi: “Chu Luo, I’ll wait for you at the Student Union. I’ll send you the location of the Student Union later. You’ll need to ride a bike over from your side.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
After hanging up, Nangong Yi sent the location to Chu Luo.
It was indeed a little far from here.
Chu Luo went to the parking spot not far away and swiped a bike. Just as she was about to ride it, a boy walked over.
It was the boy who had asked her if he could pursue her if he won.
“Chu Luo.”
The boy stopped her and introduced himself. “My name is Xue Yuheng. I study computer science too. Please guide me in the future.”
Chu Luo said, “You’re blocking my way.”
Xue Yuheng subconsciously stepped aside.
After Chu Luo pushed the bike out, she said, “Come again when you’re at the level where you think you can let me guide you.”
After saying that, she got on the bike and rode away.
Before Xue Yuheng could react, the crowd started discussing.
“How courageous. You have to know that Chu Luo is a direct student of a computer science professor. Her computer skills must not be paltry. I think it’s difficult for him to reach Chu Luo’s level.”
“So Chu Luo is blatantly rejecting him.”
“I actually don’t pity him at all.”
“Me too. This person actually dared to confess to Chu Luo in front of everyone. He deserves to be dealt a blow.”
…
The discussions behind became more and more sour.
Everyone was jealous that the boy had confessed to Chu Luo in front of so many people.
None of them dared to do so!
Chu Luo rode the bike and received many gazes along the way.
She didn’t mind and rode the bike to Imperial University’s Student Union building.
The Student Union building was an independent building.
There was a huge open space in front of the office building. In the middle of the open space was a circular altar with the Student Union’s symbol in the middle.
Chu Luo stood in front of the symbol and was about to take a look when, at this moment, a girl suddenly walked past her. After that girl walked past her, she turned.
The girl sized up Chu Luo and asked in an unfriendly tone, “Are you Chu Luo?”
Chu Luo asked, “Is something the matter?”
“You’re not from the Student Union. Why are you here?” the girl said. “The Student Union isn’t recruiting today. Please don’t disturb everyone’s work here.”
Chu Luo was puzzled. Was this person picking on her directly?
Her voice turned cold. “How am I disturbing everyone’s work here?”
“Don’t you have any awareness of how famous you are? Everyone in the Student Union is very busy today. What if your arrival affects everyone’s mood?”
“Ha!” Chu Luo’s lips curled up coldly. “You’re stopping me with such a lousy excuse. I want to ask, are you a school head or the president of the Student Union? This place belongs to Imperial University. What right do you have to stop me?”
“You…”
A sharp glint flashed across Chu Luo’s eyes. The girl was so shocked that she forgot to speak.
“Also,” Chu Luo said, “if you want to feel a sense of superiority in front of me, find a better way. This kind of clownish behavior will waste my time.”
With that, she walked around her and walked towards the Student Union building.
The girl glared at Chu Luo and huffed angrily.
“Chu Luo.” The girl’s shout attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone stopped to look at the two of them and started whispering.
“What is Zhang Yiran trying to do?”
“Could it be that she can’t stand Chu Luo and intends to teach her a lesson?”
“This doesn’t match her style. Why would she do such a thing that will ruin her image?”
When Chu Luo heard these words, the corners of her lips curled up and she suddenly stopped.
Zhang Yiran strode over and said in exasperation, “Our Student Union members are all elites chosen by the school. Since you’re so arrogant, it looks like I should let you know the consequences of offending the Student Union.”
Chu Luo said calmly, “Sure.”
Zhang Yiran swallowed at Chu Luo’s reply.
Chu Luo said, “Since you’re an elite of the school, you must know a lot. I’ll give you a chance. Let’s have it out here. If you lose, shut up.”
“You… let’s compete then.”
Zhang Yiran was furious at Chu Luo’s arrogant tone. Her expression darkened, but she didn’t lose her mind.
“You’re a freshman, so I can’t deliberately bully you. How about this? I study science, and you study humanities. Let’s each ask one question that the other party doesn’t know. As long as we can answer it, we’ll win.”
The surrounding crowd: “…”
Everyone in the Student Union knew that Zhang Yiran was a science student, but she had a twin sister who studied humanities.
They suddenly wondered if this was her twin sister in disguise.
Chu Luo didn’t mind. “Sure.”
Then, she said, “Then I’ll go first.”
Zhang Yiran: “Sure.”
Chu Luo: “State all the ancient characters in the empire.”
…
The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
It wasn’t until someone suddenly took a deep breath that everyone came back to their senses.
There were tens of thousands of words in the ancient language of the empire. Even students of ancient literature might not be able to memorize all of them.
Chu Luo’s move was ruthless.
Only then did Zhang Yiran snap back to her senses and raise her voice. “Chu Luo, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? There are tens of thousands of ancient characters in the empire and you’re making me state all of them?!”
“Can’t you?” Chu Luo had a look of pity. “Since you lost, our contest can only end here.”
“You…”
“You want to go back on your word?” Chu Luo’s gaze sharpened. “So the elites of the Student Union are also sore losers.”
“…”
The group of people standing at the side couldn’t stand it anymore.
One of the girls crossed her arms and said, “Zhang Yiran, you were the one who issued the challenge. Are you really going to throw our Student Union’s face away?”
Zhang Yiran’s expression changed several times. She gritted her teeth and glared at Chu Luo. “I don’t believe you have memorized all of them!”
Chu Luo glanced at her again and turned to walk towards the Student Union building. As she walked, she recited ancient words.
She was fast, but she enunciated every word clearly. Everyone could hear her clearly.
After a moment of shock, a few people quickly took out their phones to compare. This comparison only left them shocked.
Then Chu Luo reached the Student Union door and they couldn’t hear her anymore.
One of them picked up his fallen jaw and said in disbelief, “She stated everything correctly just now. In this short time, she stated more than four thousand words.”
“Is she even human?”
“That’s amazing.”
Everyone sighed with emotion and looked at Zhang Yiran.
Zhang Yiran hid the shock on her face and shrugged innocently at everyone. “Don’t look at me. Someone forced me to do such a retarded thing.”
Everyone: “…”
They suddenly thought of who had forced her. What if they were “silenced”?
