Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Luo raised her chin and said proudly, “I’m already an adult.”
Li Yan’s voice darkened. “Fifteen years old?”
“Sixteen!”
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan’s silent expression and said in dissatisfaction, “What kind of expression is that?”
Li Yan raised his hand to touch her face and said in a slightly relieved voice, “Luckily, you’re already 18 years old here.”
Chu Luo didn’t understand what he meant at all and looked at him in confusion.
Li Yan stopped talking and handed her her backpack. As he walked, he said, “Luoluo, open the door.”
Chu Luo was feeling strange when she saw the motorcycle Li Yan had ridden last time parked beside the building.
Li Yan hopped onto the motorcycle. Chu Luo opened the door and closed it after he drove the motorcycle out. After she sat in the back, the motorcycle drove out.

When Chu Luo and Li Yan arrived in Ocean City, it was already eleven in the morning.
The car drove straight to the apartment building outside Ocean City’s elite high school.

The two of them got out of the car and went upstairs. Chu Luo had just put down her backpack when she received a call from Old Gao.
Old Gao had called a few times on their way here. Now, he was asking if Chu Luo had arrived.
Chu Luo said to him, “Teacher Gao, I’m here.”
Old Gao laughed and said, “Then come over quickly. My wife has already prepared the dishes and I’ve taken out the wine. I’ve had enough today.”
Then, she heard He Jiang and Li Tao’s voices on the other end of the line. “Chu Luo, do you want us to pick you up?”
Chu Luo pretended not to hear and said to Old Gao, “Okay, I’ll come over later.”
Then she hung up.
After hanging up, she looked at Li Yan and asked, “Are you going to Teacher Gao’s house with me?”
“I’m going out later,” Li Yan said. “Call me when you want to leave.”
Chu Luo knew that he had something to do. She nodded and left the apartment.
She had just walked halfway when she saw three people walking over.
It was Old Gao, He Jiang, and Li Tao.
“Teacher Gao.”
“Hey~~~” Old Gao’s voice was filled with joy. The smile on his face squeezed out many wrinkles.
After Chu Luo walked up to them, Old Gao sized her up carefully before nodding in satisfaction. “You look good. Looks like you didn’t suffer at Imperial University.”
When Li Tao heard this, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but twitch. He couldn’t help but say, “Old Gao, geez. Do you think Chu Luo is someone who allows herself to be wronged?”
Old Gao glared at Li Tao in dissatisfaction. “Shut up, kid. I’m talking to Little Chu Luo. Stand aside.”
Chu Luo glanced at Li Tao and advised Old Gao seriously, “Teacher Gao, you have to be more understanding of him. After all, he’s ugly.”
“Hey… Chu Luo, what do you mean by that? How is your older brother, I, ugly?”
“Older brother?” Chu Luo narrowed her eyes. “I wonder who made a bet with me before, saying that if I lost, he would call me Boss… Also, jealousy makes people ugly. How are you not ugly when you’re so jealous of me?”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she didn’t look at the furious boy and said to Old Gao, “Teacher Gao, let’s go. I’m hungry.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. The food is ready. We can eat when we get back.”
After saying that, they ignored the two boys and walked towards Old Gao’s residence.
The two of them chatted as they walked away.
Li Tao, who was standing there, rubbed his nose. He simply wanted to flare up but couldn’t. He was so stifled that he kept circulating his energy.
He Jiang, who was standing at the side, said gloatingly, “Tsk tsk… Why do you have to look for trouble? You obviously know that Chu Luo’s mouth has never been polite to anyone.”
Li Tao punched his shoulder. “Sure, continue gloating.”
He Jiang laughed out loud. After laughing, he punched him in the shoulder and walked towards Old Gao’s residence.
On her way to the teacher’s residence, everyone Chu Luo met along the way greeted her. “Chu Luo is back.”
Chu Luo nodded at them.
When they returned to Old Gao’s residence, Mrs. Gao was already waiting for them by the door.
“Mrs. Gao.”
“Hey, Chu Luo is here.”
Mrs. Gao walked over and held Chu Luo’s hand. She smiled and said, “Good child, you’ve made our Old Gao and Ocean City’s elite high school proud.”
Chu Luo smiled.
Old Gao said, “Go wash your hands and eat. Little Chu Luo must be starving after such a long trip.”
Everyone went to the kitchen to wash their hands. Old Gao instructed He Jiang and Li Tao, “You two, move those two jars of wine over.”
He Jiang deliberately said in a displeased tone, “Old Gao, why aren’t you asking Chu Luo to carry them?”
Old Gao glared at him. “Kid, what are you spouting!”
He Jiang puffed up his chest and said matter-of-factly, “Why not? Chu Luo is very strong!”
Chu Luo glanced at him lightly.
Old Gao rolled up his sleeves. “Looks like you’re itching for a beating. I told you to move the wine, and you’ve even found an excuse.”
Chu Luo suggested, “Teacher Gao, why don’t you kick him out? This person looks annoying.”
Old Gao was about to agree when He Jiang quickly pleaded, “Old Gao, Beauty Chu, I was wrong. I was wrong.”
After saying that, he turned around and carried the two jars of wine that Old Gao had specified.
This time, it was Li Tao’s turn to look at him gloatingly.
The meal ended in laughter.
After the meal, the four of them moved to the sofa to chat.
This chat lasted the entire afternoon.
Chu Luo and the others talked about their respective lives at Imperial University. He Jiang and Li Tao also talked about many of Chu Luo’s impressive deeds at Imperial University.
The smile on Old Gao’s face never once disappeared.
The three of them left after dinner.
When Chu Luo left, Old Gao sent them outside the district. Suddenly, his eyes were wet. “Little Chu Luo, remember to come back and see me when you have holidays.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and said to him seriously, “Teacher Gao, if you miss me, you can log into Imperial University’s BBS to see me. There must be a lot about me there.”
Old Gao: “…”
Why was this child so not adorable!
He Jiang and Li Tao, who were standing at the side, giggled.
Old Gao laughed until the veins on his forehead popped.
The two of them quickly shut their mouths and took a big step to the side.
At this moment, Chu Luo took out a jade pendant and handed it to Old Gao. “I bought this before. Teacher Gao, you must keep it on you.”
Actually, she had specially prepared it for him. There was a trace of phoenix red light in the jade pendant.
Old Gao took the jade pendant preciously and said, “Okay, I’ll hang it around my neck from now on.”
With that, he hung the jade pendant around his neck.
Only then did Chu Luo bid him farewell in satisfaction and left with He Jiang and Li Tao.
It was only past six. Actually, it was still early.
He Jiang asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, why don’t we go play again? Many students from our class are back during this National Day. They even agreed to go to the entertainment city tonight to play. Li Tao and I didn’t dare to tell them that you’re back. Otherwise, the Gao residence’s threshold would have been broken today.”
Chu Luo planned to go to the Chu family villa then return to the capital. She said, “No, I’m going back to the capital tonight.”
“Why are you going back so early? You can leave tomorrow morning.”
“I’m going back to learn from Professor Tang.”
He Jiang rubbed his nose and said with a stifled expression, “I feel like I’m asking for humiliation.”
Li Tao replied straightforwardly, “It’s good that you know.”
That was why he didn’t ask Chu Luo about this.
The two boys insisted on sending Chu Luo to her apartment building.
Chu Luo walked to the street and hailed a car. She said, “I’m going back to my villa.”
Only then did the two boys give up on sending her back.
No one had been living in the Chu family villa these past few months. When Chu Luo came back, because Chu Zhengyang had left a servant here, the entire villa still looked the same.
The servant came over to open the door for her, feeling especially surprised. “You’re Second Miss?”
Chu Luo nodded and walked into the villa without saying anything.
The servant quickly closed the door and followed her. As she walked, she asked in confusion, “Second Miss, you’re back. Are you staying today? I’ll go clean your room immediately.”
Chu Luo still didn’t answer her.
The servant was also used to Chu Luo’s silence. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn’t show it.
After entering the living room, Chu Luo stopped and said to her, “You don’t have to follow me.”
“Oh, oh.” The servant quickly nodded and asked, “Second Miss, have you eaten? Do you want me to cook something for you?”
“No need. I ate.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she walked upstairs.
The servant followed her to the staircase and stopped. It wasn’t until she saw Chu Luo walk to the third floor and heard the sound of the door opening and closing that the servant quickly took out her phone and dialed a number.
The moment the other party picked up the call, she quickly said, “Sir, Second Miss is back.”
No one knew what Chu Zhengyang said, but she quickly replied, “Okay, okay.”
After hanging up, she walked towards the kitchen.
Chu Luo went straight to Chu Zhengyang’s study.
Chu Zhengyang’s study used to have many antique books. As he had gone to the capital to develop his career, he got someone to come back and move them over.
So the study room looked a little empty.
Chu Luo immediately saw a small box placed in a compartment on the bookshelf.
She walked over to look at the small box in front of her and raised her hand to tap it. A trace of black aura floated out of the box.
Chu Luo looked at this trace of black aura and smiled.. “This is what you mean by being good to her… Hehe! You’re really thoughtful.”
