Novel Full Chapter 111 - More and More Abuse
Chapter 111: More and More Abuse
He Jiang and Li Tao thought that this was already the most abusive thing.
Li Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, feeling that the situation was already so bad that to make it worse would make no real difference, he asked, “Chu Luo, since you’re so good at gaming, you must have your own account. What’s your username?”
Chu Luo pulled up the video lesson and replied casually as she watched, “Bai Ling.”
“What?!”
Li Tao and He Jiang jumped up from their seats at the same time. Their voices instantly increased by eight octaves.
Chu Luo looked at their shocked reaction in displeasure and pointed at the door. “Go straight out. I won’t send you off.”
“…”
He Jiang and Li Tao really packed their laptops and left.
It wasn’t until the two of them had walked far from Chu Luo’s room that He Jiang suddenly shouted, “Holy shit!”
Li Tao took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on. With a sad expression, he said, “Looks like my first love is really going to die without a cause.”
He Jiang couldn’t help but retort, “If not, then what? You can’t compare to her in studies and even got thrashed in online gaming. If you dated such a girl, your life would be so miserable.”
“Chu Luo is actually Bai Ling. Bai Ling is actually Chu Luo.” Li Tao didn’t listen to He Jiang’s words at all. After muttering these two sentences, he continued walking forward with mixed feelings.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Going back to study.”
“Wait for me, I’ll go too.”
Chu Luo kept watching the video until four in the afternoon. Then, she heard the footsteps of a group of girls approaching from outside the door.
After a while, those people arrived outside her door.
A girl knocked on the door and shouted, “Chu Luo, are you in the room?”
Chu Luo walked over and opened the door.
One of them smiled and said, “Chu Luo, we’re here for the graduation party. You’ve been alone in your room for so long. You should come to dinner with us, right?”
Another person immediately added excitedly, “The owner of the villa said that they would cook a barbeque banquet for us tonight. After lunch, the boys and the people from the villa went into the mountains to catch wild animals. We’ll go over and wait right now. They should be coming back soon.”
Chu Luo had indeed wanted to rest after watching videos for a few hours straight, so she walked with them to the barbecue place tonight.
The villa was built halfway up the mountain. The mountains were clear and the waters were beautiful. The buildings inside were also made of green bricks and red tiles. Once people arrived, their impetuous mood naturally relaxed.
Other than Chu Luo and her group, there were also some other guests in the villa.
The barbecue place was on a flat land south of the villa.
The flat ground was very wide, and there were several barbecue racks placed on it. This was obviously a barbecue place that the villa had specially prepared for guests.
The group of girls walked over and found a seat to sit down. The service staff served them fruits and snacks.
The girls quickly discussed what prey the boys would bring back.
“Rabbits, perhaps. I heard that there are many rabbits in this mountain.”
“Possibly pheasants. Pheasant stewed with mushrooms is delicious.”
“Do you think there are ferocious animals in this mountain?”
“How is that possible? Since the Li Villa was built here, they must have already chased away or killed those ferocious animals long ago.”
“If only they could bring back a wild boar.”
…
Chu Luo peeled an orange as she listened to their conversation casually.
Just then, a girl asked her, “Chu Luo, can you cook?”
All the girls looked at her as if her answer was important to them.
Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at them before answering bluntly, “No.”
She had so much to learn and didn’t have time to cook.
When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up. They suddenly felt an indescribable sense of superiority. Even those who didn’t know how to cook decided to enroll in a cooking class when they returned.
They couldn’t compare to Chu Luo in other aspects. It wasn’t every day that they could hear that she didn’t know how to cook. They had to beat her in this aspect.
Chu Luo really didn’t understand where this inexplicable sense of superiority came from.
She retracted her gaze and continued peeling the orange.
She heard the conversation of a few middle-aged men sitting on the other side. They were currently smoking.
They looked at the girls.
A man said, “How nice it is to be young. One look and I can tell that this group of girls has just taken the college entrance examination. I haven’t even experienced the college entrance examination before. Thinking back, it’s a pity.”
Another person who was the oldest spat out the smoke in his mouth and continued, “If you had taken the college entrance examination at that time, you wouldn’t have your current riches.”
“Brother Li, you’re joking. I’m a poor person. I don’t have the good fortune to own riches.”
These words made the others roar with laughter.
“Brother Zhang, you’re too humble. Who doesn’t know your reputation in this industry? If even you are saying that you didn’t get rich, we would have gone bankrupt long ago.”
The man surnamed Zhang smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.
“I say, Brother Zhang, that tomb has been located again after so many years. This time, many families want to go down. They must have invited you. Why don’t you go?”
When the man surnamed Zhang heard this, his expression changed several times. He took a deep inhale of his cigarette before retracting all his expression and saying in the tone of a person who had gone through the vicissitudes of life:
“I retired 18 years ago. What I’m doing now is legitimate business. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver inside, it has nothing to do with me.”
The others looked at each other.
One of them lowered his voice and asked curiously, “I heard that there’s a divine object in that tomb that can make people immortal. There’s also a divine weapon that even those masters and experts covet. Is that true?”
“I don’t know.”
“Old Zhang, I say, you’re not being friendly enough. We’re just having a casual chat. It’s not like we’re forcing you to get into the tomb. Since you said that you’d retired from the trade, why can’t you tell us about all this?”
“I really don’t know. The people who entered the tomb back then didn’t enter the main tomb at all…”
At this point, Old Zhang’s expression turned ugly. When the others wanted to ask more questions, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and extinguished it with his toes. He stood up and left.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze from that group of people and couldn’t help but frown.
From what those people had said just now, she was certain that at present, another group of people wanted to enter the ancient tomb, and it was the king’s tomb.
Thinking up to this point, she quietly said to Phoenix, “Let’s see where that person lives.”
She planned to ask him about it later.
Half an hour later, the boys returned from the back mountain with the staff from the villa, chatting merrily.
Each of them was more or less carrying something in their hands. There was a hare, a pheasant, and some wild fruits and vegetables.
These things were definitely not enough for a group of 18- or 19-year-old young men. The villa had long prepared two whole goats to roast.
Everyone sat around the grill and talked about the most unforgettable thing that happened during the last semester of Grade 12, fantasizing about what they would do in the future.
As they spoke, another boy offered a drink.
“Tonight is an excellent opportunity for us to drink to our hearts’ content.”
“That’s right! After these two days, I wonder when everyone will be able to gather again. We have to drink.”
“Hey, hey, hey… If you boys want to drink, you boys can go ahead. We girls won’t get involved.”
“Tsk… I think you girls are just afraid of ruining your image once you’re drunk. What are you afraid of? In the third year of high school, you girls don’t wear any makeup at all. Sometimes, you even look like you have eye boogers… Ouch… Sisters, please be magnanimous. I was wrong! Ouch~~”
Seeing that the boy was getting beaten up by a few girls, the others gloated and laughed.
While no one was paying attention, Ji Cheng kept winking at He Jiang and Li Tao, wanting the two of them to persuade Chu Luo. As long as Chu Luo agreed, the others would definitely agree.
He Jiang and Li Tao had been dealt a heavy blow today and still hadn’t recovered from their shock. The two of them stood there without moving.
Ji Cheng finally couldn’t help but say, “Class rep, go and speak up. You’re the class representative. Chu Luo will definitely give you face.”
He Jiang turned his gaze to the distance and pretended not to hear.
Ji Cheng: “…”
Ji Cheng didn’t give up and turned to Li Tao’s side again. He winked at him and said in an ambiguous tone, “Li Tao, don’t you have a crush on her? How can you let go of such a rare opportunity?”
Li Tao stared at him with a deep gaze, staring until Ji Cheng couldn’t take it anymore, before saying past gritted teeth, “She doesn’t like me.”
“Eh?”
“You can ask her yourself.”
After saying that, Li Tao pushed him towards that side.
Ji Cheng staggered a step from the push, turning his head to look at the two abnormal people.
At this moment, He Jiang retracted his gaze from afar and said to him, “If you can persuade her to drink, we will definitely risk our lives to accompany you. I’m just afraid that you can’t persuade her.”
Ji Cheng stared at the two of them for about a minute, then sneered at them before turning around to walk towards Chu Luo. As he walked, he muttered, “I think you two are just afraid that Chu Luo will reject you, that’s why you said that on purpose, right? Hmph! Watch how I persuade Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo was being asked by a girl where she would go for her holiday next. At this moment, Ji Cheng suddenly came over.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Ji Cheng pointed at He Jiang and Li Tao’s side and said to her seriously, “I made a bet with the class rep and Li Tao. We’ve bet that if you know how to drink, then the class rep and Li Tao will dance a duet for everyone to see.”
After saying that, he deliberately leaned over and whispered to her, “Chu Luo, you don’t know, but the class rep and Li Tao are both experts in dance, especially Li Tao. He’s amazing at hip hop dancing.”
Chu Luo and the people nearby looked at He Jiang and Li Tao with bright eyes.
The two guys immediately raised their vigilance.
The girl standing beside Chu Luo said to her excitedly, “Chu Luo, why don’t you agree? You can decide how much to drink anyway. I really want to see the class rep dance with Li Tao.”
The other girls immediately chimed in.
“We want to see it too.”
“We want to see it too.”
Chu Luo retracted her gaze from He Jiang and Li Tao, looked at Ji Cheng’s sparkling eyes, and asked, “If I didn’t know how to drink, what would you do?”
Ji Cheng smiled brightly. “I can dance too.”
Chu Luo didn’t hesitate to say, “Since there is a choice, let He Jiang and Li Tao dance.”
Ji Cheng: “…”
Was he being despised?
Was he?
