Chapter 275: Bookworm Chu Luo

Professor Tang and the others usually finished their research at around ten at night.

Chu Luo was used to staying for a while longer, so she took up the task of tying up the loose ends every day.

As Professor Tang left, he said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, Old Master Sun will be discharged this Saturday. If you have time, let’s go over together.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. “Okay.”

“Then don’t stay too long. Go back and rest early.”

“Got it.”

After the three of them left, Chu Luo checked their research data from today and wrote down her own research data. She then cleaned the laboratory until half-past ten.

When she walked out of the laboratory, she saw Li Yan waiting for her in the courtyard.

Chu Luo quickened her pace.

Li Yan reached out to hold her hand. Chu Luo said, “I’ll take you to see the herbs that grow very well.”

“Mm.”

The two of them went to the backyard. Chu Luo pointed at the cluster of herbs under the street lamp that had especially strong vitality. “Don’t they look especially good?”

“Mm.”

Chu Luo pulled his hand and walked closer. She pointed at a stone in the middle of the cluster of herbs. “This is the eye of the array I set up. Because of the ginseng planted nearby, all the spiritual aura has been absorbed by them. Once we’ve bought more supplemental herbs, I’ll set up a small array inside. Our herbs will mature in a week at most.”

Chu Luo became more and more excited as she spoke. “When the herbs mature, our experiment will definitely progress quickly.”

Li Yan looked at her excited face and smiled.

He led her to the front yard and asked as they walked, “Didn’t you want to learn foreign languages? Which one do you want to learn first?”

“Anything.”

“Okay.”

Li Yan directly spoke to her in Japanese, and Chu Luo eagerly conversed back.

The two of them walked back to their villa.

The next morning, Professor Wu suddenly called Chu Luo and asked her, “Little Chu, can you spare some time this Friday? The Cyberspace Administration wants you to help them build the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network.”

There were no classes for Imperial University undergraduates every Friday afternoon. Chu Luo thought for a while and agreed.

After breakfast, she walked out of the villa. Coincidentally, Professor Tang came out of the other villa and walked towards her.

Professor Tang was a little surprised to see the robot following her. “Little Chu, you brought a robot to school?”

“Yes. Roundy is responsible for helping me carry my books.”

She then said to Roundy, “Roundy, show it to Professor Tang.”

Roundy replied, “Yes, Mistress.”

After Roundy finished responding, he opened his stomach and took out the book tray.

Professor Tang sighed and said, “I didn’t expect you to have so many books.”

Chu Luo smiled and asked him, “Professor Tang, are you going out today?”

“Yes, I’m going to Imperial University.”

At this moment, the chauffeur who drove Chu Luo pulled the car over.

Chu Luo said, “Then let’s go together.”

Professor Tang had no objections and the two of them got into the car.

The car stopped outside the school gate.

When Chu Luo, Professor Tang, and Roundy appeared in front of everyone, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Then, everyone started whispering.

“Chu Luo is too amazing. She’s here with Professor Tang from the medical school.”

“She’s Professor Tang’s student. What’s so strange about her arriving with him?”

“It’s not strange at all. It only makes me turn into a lemon essence every minute.”

“Sigh! Some people are born winners.”

“Recently, on the Internet, people have been voting for the school belle of Imperial University. I didn’t know before that there are so many beautiful girls at Imperial University.”

“No matter how beautiful they are, they’re not as beautiful as Chu Luo.”

“But the previous three school belles had a large group of fans. I feel that it will be a little difficult for Chu Luo to run for the position.”

“Why would it be difficult? At most, we’ll have one more school belle and there’ll be four school belles. Wouldn’t that be more perfect?”

“However, another girl from the first year was also nominated. That girl seems to have a very good family background and is already canvassing for votes in private.”

“Do you think Chu Luo knows that she’s in the running to become the school belle?”

“Looks like she doesn’t know at all.”

…

Hearing the hushed discussions, Professor Tang looked at Chu Luo and saw that she was calm. He couldn’t help but say, “Little Chu, even though studying is very important, you have to rest and play. Otherwise, you’ll become a bookworm.”

Chu Luo tilted her head and asked in confusion, “Isn’t it good to be a bookworm?”

Professor Tang was stunned for a moment before saying, “You’re still young and will have a lot of time to study. You don’t have to learn everything in the shortest time.”

Although Chu Luo didn’t agree with him, she still nodded.

Then, she stuffed an earpiece into her ear and recited along as she listened to the words.

Professor Tang: “…”

…

Chu Luo would skip a few courses every day. Often, after one lesson, she would have to rush to another department for the next one. The students who wanted to talk to her had no chance at all.

As a result, after attending classes with her for a few days, all the people in her classes knew her, but she could recognize only a handful of them.

The first lesson on Wednesday afternoon was French class. The second lesson was Electronic Engineering. It would take about twenty minutes to ride a bike from the east to the west.

Even after Chu Luo rushed to the classroom, she was still late.

Today’s class was being taught by a stern professor in his forties. He was a little unhappy that Chu Luo didn’t attend the previous class. Seeing her standing by the door, he said with a straight face, “Student, you’re late…”

He then glanced at his watch. “Fifteen minutes.”

Chu Luo pursed her lips and didn’t refute him.

The professor added, “No matter who you are, I told you in the first lesson that you don’t have to come if you’re five minutes late for my class.”

A boy couldn’t help but say, “Professor Tu, Chu Luo’s first class was at the College of Foreign Languages. She has to ride a bike for more than half an hour to get here.”

Professor Tu didn’t listen to any explanation. “No matter what the situation is, as long as you’ve chosen my specialization, you have to treat it seriously.”

At this point, he glanced at the person who wanted to speak up for Chu Luo and said in an even more stern tone, “If anyone can’t stand it anymore, you can follow her out.”

These words made everyone afraid to speak.

Chu Luo glanced at Professor Tu and left the classroom without saying anything. She closed the door behind her, but she didn’t close it tightly.

Professor Tu glanced at the door with a crack and retracted his gaze before continuing his lesson.

Chu Luo stood by the door and quickly flipped to the page of the lecture, listening seriously.

At this moment, there were other students walking in the corridor.

When everyone saw Chu Luo standing by the door, they were first stunned. Then, they heard the sound of lessons coming from the classroom. Many students who had been taught by Professor Tu understood what was going on.

However, many people also thought gloatingly, ‘I didn’t expect Chu Luo to be rejected at the door too.’

This news quickly spread throughout Imperial University.

Instantly, this topic became one for everyone to talk about to relax after studying.

Of course, that was for later.

When Professor Tu announced the end of class, Chu Luo closed her book and left with Roundy.

Even the other professors heard about this.

Seeing Professor Tu return to his office, a professor from the same faculty asked, “Professor Tu, why did you refuse Chu Luo?”

Professor Tu only said, “Nothing can be done without rules. At my place, being late is being late. No one is an exception.”

The professor who asked him that question shook his head. “You’re too harsh. I heard from the professors at the College of Foreign Languages who taught Chu Luo that her IQ is really extraordinary. She’s studying seven to eight foreign languages at once, but she didn’t fall behind on a single one.”

“That only means she has a gift for languages. Electronics is different from foreign languages.”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, the professor only said, “She probably won’t be able to get to your class on time every Wednesday. You really intend to let her stand outside the classroom for the entire semester?”

“That’s her own business.”

“So you’re going to stop her from achieving passable attendance?”

“That’s her own business.”

“If she doesn’t have sufficient attendance, no matter how good her results are…”

“If she’s absent for 15 minutes during every class, her results couldn’t be that good.”

…

Chu Luo had just ridden her bike out of the College of Electronic Engineering when she encountered a girl surrounded by a few boys and girls walking over from the opposite side.

The girl walking in the middle was wearing fashionable clothes and had exquisite makeup. Her hair was dyed red like maple leaves, and her pair of arrogant eyes made her look superior.

The people behind her were obviously sucking up to her.

Chu Luo originally didn’t care about these people. However, when she rode past them, she heard someone say without hiding anything, “Sister Gu, look at that person. It’s Chu Luo. Just now, I read on the BBS that she was stopped outside the classroom by a professor.”

Another person immediately replied in a gloating tone, “Didn’t Chu Luo think she was very powerful? To think she actually got stopped outside the door.”

“Hur hur! She’s just too confident. She thinks that all the professors will take special care of her even if she’s late.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly stopped the bike and turned to look at the group of people.

At this moment, the girl called Sister Gu turned around at the same time.

“Chu Luo.” She turned around and looked at her arrogantly with a provocative expression. “My name is Gu Lexuan. I’m definitely going to win this school belle contest.”

Chu Luo looked at her coldly and curled her lips. “Take it if you want. I’m not interested in campaigning for anything outside of studying.”

With that, she rode her bike away.

Gu Lexuan felt like she was being looked down upon. She stomped her high heels in anger. “Hmph! Not interested? You just think you can’t beat me!”

Her lackeys quickly echoed:

“Sister Gu is right. Chu Luo is jealous of you. Look at her. She doesn’t even dress up. Many people call her a bookworm in private now.”

“That’s right. She’s just a nerd who only knows how to study. How can she compare to you, Sister Gu?”
