After Chu Luo got into the car, the car immediately drove out.

It was Qin Ming who drove this time. Chu Luo looked at the masked Li Yan and asked, “You didn’t bring any bodyguards with you?”

Li Yan: “No need.”

When Chu Luo heard this answer, she was silent for a few seconds. Thinking that this person was so skilled and that ordinary people were indeed not his match, she didn’t ask further.

At this moment, Li Yan pointed at the incubator and the small refrigerator. “There’s food inside. The car won’t especially stop for you to eat breakfast.”

Chu Luo opened the incubator first and saw several lunchboxes inside. She took them out one by one and placed them on the small table that had been pulled down from the back of the chair in front of her.

There was porridge, crystal buns, ham omelet, shrimp dumplings, apple pancakes, and two delicious side dishes in the lunchbox.

It looked like there was a good variety of food, but there was a little bit of each type. Chu Luo scooped a spoonful of century egg and lean meat porridge to eat. She tilted her head to look at Li Yan and asked with bright eyes, “Have you eaten?”

“Mm.”

After Li Yan responded, he immediately took out his laptop to do business. He didn’t look at her.

Chu Luo retracted her gaze and slowly ate her breakfast.

After she finished her breakfast, the car drove to Ocean City via the expressway.

At this moment, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was from Wei Xueying.

Wei Xueying asked, “Luoluo, where did you go? Aren’t you going back to Ocean City today? I’ve already spoken to Uncle. Uncle will be sending you over with bodyguards and a chauffeur.”

Chu Luo looked at the rising sun and said, “I’ll go back by myself.”

“What?” Wei Xueying sounded displeased. “Have you already left?”

Then, she asked, “Was it that masked man who came to fetch you?”

Chu Luo subconsciously glanced at Li Yan, who was typing on his laptop. She didn’t hide it and simply responded with an “Mm.”

Wei Xueying was obviously furious. “Didn’t I tell you not to have too much contact with that man? He’s very dangerous. He might sell you off one day.”

When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips suddenly curled up. She said, “He won’t.”

Compared to the Wei family, who had ulterior motives for treating her well, she was much better off with the person beside her. Although he often treated her coldly, at least he wouldn’t do anything dirty in private.

Retracting her gaze from Li Yan’s face, Chu Luo said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

Wei Xueying: “Since you don’t want to listen to me, forget it.”

With that, she hung up the phone first.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly looked up at her from the computer.

Chu Luo didn’t notice. She took her phone and looked at the time. It was 7:15. Thinking about Old Gao’s reminders from yesterday, she called him.

Old Gao must have gone jogging in the morning. When he picked up the call, his voice sounded a little breathless. There was also the sound of the wind around him.

“Little Chu Luo, you called me so early. Are you preparing to return to Ocean City?”

Chu Luo replied, “Yes.”

When Old Gao heard this, he immediately laughed and said, “Then I’ll go get my wife to buy groceries. It’ll take more than five hours to get to Ocean City from the capital. You’ll be able to eat lunch when you come back.”

He even asked Chu Luo which dishes she liked to eat.

Chu Luo casually mentioned a few dishes that she usually ate. After Old Gao happily noted them down, the two of them hung up.

Ten minutes after she hung up the phone, Wang Mingtao called her.

Wang Mingtao just happened to have scored 705 points. He was still very satisfied. He even called Chu Luo at the first instant yesterday.

He had always admired Chu Luo. When he found out that Chu Luo scored full marks, his admiration for her reached an unparalleled level.

Chu Luo asked him, “What?”

Wang Mingtao chuckled and said, “Sister Chu, Imperial University will release the admission cutoff score today. What specialization do you intend to fill in? Tell me quickly so that I can follow you and follow in your footsteps.”

Chu Luo was silent for two seconds before saying, “You’d better not fill in the same ones as me.”

Wang Mingtao was immediately puzzled. “Why? You are my role model. I feel that I can become a second god in that specialization just like you.”

Chu Luo: “…”

Seeing that Chu Luo didn’t answer, Wang Mingtao urged her, “Sister Chu, tell me quickly. Previously, my parents asked me to study mechanical engineering. Now that they know you’re my boss, they’ve all agreed to let me enroll in a specialization with you.”

Chu Luo: “…” So this person had already thought about what major to enroll in.

Seeing that Chu Luo didn’t answer, Wang Mingtao shouted over the phone, “Hey, Sister Chu? Sister Chu? Eh, is the signal here bad?”

Chu Luo finally said, “I’m applying for a foreign language major.”

“Huh?” Wang Mingtao was stunned. “Aren’t you going to be a computer science major?”

Chu Luo said awkwardly, “Who said I wanted to enroll as a computer science major?”

She planned to learn all the languages she didn’t know. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about not understanding other countries’ languages wherever she went.

This time, it was Wang Mingtao who fell silent.

Chu Luo said to him, “Since you like computer science, enroll in that specialization. You can be a direct junior to Senior Tang and the others. Besides… I’ll also choose a computer science major.”

“Really? Then I’ll apply for a computer science major.”

Wang Mingtao had called because he wanted Chu Luo to make a decision for him. When he heard her say that, he immediately became firm.

After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Mingtao asked, “Sister Chu, when are you coming back?”

Chu Luo replied, “A day or two before we leave for the US.” She wasn’t in a hurry.

The two of them spoke for a while more before hanging up.

Since Chu Luo had nothing to do, she plugged her earphones in and watched Professor Wu’s video lesson.

During this period of time, she would watch a video of Professor Wu’s lesson before she slept. She really benefited a lot from it.

Just like that, Li Yan worked and Chu Luo watched the video. The five- to six-hour drive seemed to be over in a short while.

The car first drove back to the apartment Chu Luo lived in.

Upon opening the door, Chu Luo turned to Li Yan in surprise. “Did you call for someone to clean up beforehand?”

Li Yan replied, “The cook has been staying here.”

Chu Luo understood.

The two of them walked into the living room. Chu Luo picked up her backpack and walked towards her room. She wanted to wash up before going to Old Gao’s place.

When she came out of the bedroom, Li Yan was standing by the window, answering a call with his Bluetooth.

At this moment, he was speaking in a language that Chu Luo didn’t understand. Chu Luo stood there and deliberately listened to a few sentences.

Li Yan quickly ended the call and turned to look at her.

“What language were you speaking just now?”

“German.”

Chu Luo nodded and noted it down. Then, she said, “I’m going to Teacher Gao’s place. Help me close the door when you leave.”

She then walked out of the door under Li Yan’s gaze.

Today was only the 27th of June, and the final exams for Grades 10 and 12 were approaching.

Ocean City’s elite high school treated the faculty very well. The school directly assigned a two-story apartment to each teacher.

The apartment building was in the district facing the back door of the school.

Chu Luo had just walked to the entrance of the district when she bumped into a few school teachers.

Actually, Chu Luo didn’t know these teachers, but every teacher greeted her warmly. “Chu Luo, you’re here to see your form teacher?”

Chu Luo smiled and replied, “Yes.”

After turning around, those teachers started discussing, their voices filled with envy.

“Ever since Chu Luo’s results came out yesterday, Old Gao has been so happy. It’s as if Chu Luo is his daughter.”

“No matter who it was, they would be the same. Not to mention Teacher Gao, even I couldn’t fall asleep after hearing Chu Luo’s results, which are first in the country.”

“Me too. I can already foresee the enrollment of our elite high school next semester. Many students with excellent results will be enrolling in our school.”

“I’ll be teaching Grade 10 next semester. If I can teach such a student, I won’t have any regrets in my life.”

“Say, with a student like Chu Luo, do you think Old Gao will directly be promoted to be a gold medal teacher?”

“Of course.”

“Speaking of which, although our school has many outstanding teachers, there aren’t many who are really considered gold medal teachers, right?”

“That’s right. The people on the rankings are all old and have taught for more than 30 years.”

“Speaking of which, since we saw the results yesterday, Teacher Li from Class 1, who was always picking on Chu Luo, never seemed to have appeared again?”

“That’s right. If I were her, I would definitely be too ashamed to face anyone. To think that the elite class that she taught couldn’t even do better than Class 4.”

…

Chu Luo had just reached the road near Teacher Gao’s house when she saw Teacher Gao standing there and looking over.

When Old Gao saw Chu Luo, he immediately welcomed her with a smile.

Chu Luo smiled and greeted him, “Teacher Gao.”

“Hey!” Old Gao replied loudly. He first sized her, who had changed a lot, up before nodding and saying, “Not bad, not bad. With your bangs clipped up, you look especially energetic!”

After saying that, he patted her shoulder and said to her proudly, “Let’s go. My missus cooked a huge table of dishes and is waiting for you.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked towards the Gao residence. Along the way, anyone who encountered them would stop and praise Chu Luo.

Just as they reached the Gao residence, Old Gao’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and looked at it. He smiled and said to Chu Luo, “He Jiang and the other smart people must know that you’re here and want to come to my house for food.”

Despite saying that, Old Gao still picked up the call. As expected, when He Jiang and the others heard that Chu Luo had returned, they all said that they wanted to come over.

Old Gao said deliberately, “Aren’t you guys shameless? Today is the celebration party I’ve prepared for Little Chu Luo.”

It was unknown what the other party said, but Old Gao laughed and said, “Come on, come on. You guys can take the chance to get together with Little Chu Luo, and you can also wait for Imperial University’s cutoff score to come out.”

After that, he hung up the phone and said to Chu Luo with a helpless expression, “See, I was right!”

However, before Li Tao and the others arrived, the principal and dean arrived first.
