Chapter 279: You Youngsters Like to Pretend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
First Madam wasn’t really angry with him, so she asked curiously, “Why are you standing here instead of eating?”
Sun Tianhao quickly stood up and said seriously, “I’ve finished eating. I want to see Grandfather.”
First Madam didn’t believe him. She sized him up and exposed him. “Kid, seeing your grandfather is just an excuse. Your true aim is to see the young lady, right?”
Sun Tianhao rubbed his nose and blinked. “Auntie, don’t spout nonsense.”
First Madam slapped his arm and said in exasperation, “The Sun family dares to love and hate. I’m very displeased with your cowardly behavior.”
Sun Tianhao put on a bitter face and said with a sad expression, “Auntie, you don’t understand.”
First Madam couldn’t stand his expression. “You young people like to pretend. Go ahead and pretend. The young lady is so eligible. If you overdo it, the young lady will be taken by someone else.”
Sun Tianhao thought in frustration, ‘The young lady you mentioned has long been taken by someone else.’
First Madam couldn’t be bothered with Sun Tianhao anymore. She walked forward and didn’t forget to say, “Little Chu hasn’t eaten yet. You’re standing here like a wooden stake. Why don’t you go to the kitchen and see if there’s anything good to bring her?”
When Sun Tianhao heard this, his eyes lit up. He couldn’t find an excuse to enter anyway. Delivering food was a good excuse.
At the thought of this, he ran towards the kitchen.
Chu Luo was still feeding Old Master Sun.
Old Master Sun had only started eating these past two days. Even though he was eating porridge, he ate very slowly.
Chu Luo was also a person who had never taken care of anyone before. As she fed the old man, the interval became shorter and shorter.
Soon, a lot of porridge flowed down Old Master Sun’s chin.
Chu Luo quickly took a towel and wiped him down. As she wiped, she muttered, “So it’s this troublesome to serve people to eat.”
When Old Master Sun heard this, he blinked as if he had something to say.
At this moment, Chu Luo scooped another spoonful to his mouth. He had no choice but to eat it first.
When Sun Tianhao came in with a tray of fish and meat, he saw Chu Luo wiping Old Master Sun’s chin.
He quickly pretended to cough.
“Cough, cough…”
Chu Luo turned around, and the first thing she saw was the delicious food in Sun Tianhao’s hand. She subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She was already very hungry, so seeing this made her even hungrier.
She thought that Sun Tianhao had brought it over for Old Master to eat. She immediately said to him with a straight face, “Don’t you know that Old Master Sun can’t eat such meaty things right now?”
Old Master Sun glared at Sun Tianhao with accusation in his eyes.
Sun Tianhao felt wronged. “I brought it for you.”
Chu Luo was stunned to hear this and said, “I need to feed Old Master Sun.”
Sun Tianhao looked at the half bowl of porridge in her hand and thought for a while. He said, “Why don’t I feed Grandfather while you eat?”
“Sure.” Chu Luo placed the bowl of porridge to the side and stood up to point at the table where Old Master Sun’s medicine was placed. “Just place it there.”
Sun Tianhao walked over to place the tray under Old Master Sun’s widened eyes. He pretended to look at Chu Luo casually and thought, ‘How can she be Bai Ling? How can Bai Ling be her!’
Without showing it on his face, he walked over to pick up the bowl of porridge. “Grandfather, let me feed you.”
Old Master Sun retracted his gaze and looked at Sun Tianhao.
Sun Tianhao suddenly felt a sense of pressure. He scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Old Master Sun.
Old Master Sun’s eyes were filled with anger. ‘Brat, why don’t you just pour the entire bowl into my mouth? Can’t you be more gentle like that young lady?’
Sun Tianhao didn’t understand the meaning of Old Master Sun’s gaze. Seeing that he wasn’t opening his mouth, he immediately turned to Chu Luo and said, “Chu Luo, my grandfather isn’t eating.”
Chu Luo was about to put a piece of chicken into her mouth when she heard Sun Tianhao say that. She stopped and said to Old Master earnestly, “Old Master Sun, you have to eat more to recover quickly. Otherwise, you can only stay in bed.”
Old Master Sun tried his best to control his anger, but he still couldn’t control it. He glared at Sun Tianhao and thought to himself, ‘When I recover, I’ll definitely throw you in a primitive forest to live in the wild for two months.’
Sun Tianhao shivered for no reason. As if he had suddenly realized something was wrong, he quietly shook out some of the porridge from the spoon and handed the remaining half to Old Master Sun’s mouth.
Only then did Old Master Sun open his mouth.
When Chu Luo was full, Old Master Sun happened to have just finished eating as well.
At this moment, the door opened. It was the Sun family’s madams.
When First Madam Sun saw that there was some food left over, she deliberately glanced at Sun Tianhao before saying with a smile, “We were worried that Little Chu didn’t get to eat. Looks like Tianhao had been thoughtful enough to send Little Chu something to eat.”
Worried that his aunt would say something she shouldn’t, Sun Tianhao quickly said, “Aunt, Second Aunt, Mom, Fourth Aunt, Grandpa has already eaten a bowl of porridge.”
“It’s been hard on Little Chu,” Second Madam said. “We’ll take care of Old Master next. Professor Tang is talking to a few men in the living room in the front room. You should go too.”
Chu Luo nodded and stood up to say to Old Master Sun, “Old Master Sun, I’ll leave first.”
“Ahhh…”
“Chu Luo, my grandfather asked when you’ll come again.”
The ladies looked at Sun Tianhao at the same time, wondering how this kid knew what Old Master was thinking.
Unexpectedly, Old Master nodded immediately.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “Next weekend.”
She had some time only on the weekends.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Old Master Sun and Sun Tianhao’s eyes.
Chu Luo left after saying that.
There was a courtyard outside, and it was very spacious. There were only a few old trees on both sides. There was a chess table under two trees on the right, and many leaves had already fallen on it.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo had just walked to the middle of the courtyard when Sun Tianhao’s voice came from behind.
Soon, Sun Tianhao walked over.
Chu Luo stopped and looked at him. “Is something the matter?”
In front of her gaze, Sun Tianhao actually didn’t know what to say. He simply took a deep breath and quickly said, “Previously, when I said that I liked Bai Ling, don’t mind it. I really only like Bai Ling in the game. I don’t have any designs on you in real life.”
After saying that, he felt a little better. He stared at Chu Luo and waited for her to answer.
Chu Luo looked at him strangely. “Is that all you want to say?”
“…” Sun Tianhao: What else could he say?
“I understand.” Chu Luo nodded and continued walking.
“Hey… you’re leaving just like that?”
“Do you want me to thank you for liking me in the game, or for not liking me in real life?”
“…” After Chu Luo walked into the house in front, Sun Tianhao said in frustration, “That’s not what I meant at all.”
As for what he meant, even he didn’t know.
Chu Luo and Professor Tang left the Sun residence after two.
After leaving the Sun residence, Chu Luo went to Imperial University.
Previously, she had agreed to build a defense network for Imperial University, and she happened to have time today.
When she went there, not only was one of the school heads waiting there, but Tang Zhiyun and Nangong Yi were also there.
Chu Luo was the one who’d called Tang Zhiyun over.
Chu Luo first greeted the school head before looking at Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi smiled at her and said, “I have something to attend to in school today. Coincidentally, I heard from Dean Wei that you’re here to set up a defense network for the school. Do you mind if I go take a look?”
Chu Luo didn’t mind.
The school head said to Chu Luo with a smile, “Chu Luo, sorry to trouble you and Tang Zhiyun this afternoon.”
“It’s no trouble.”
The four of them went to the technology building.
The school’s online headquarters was also in the technology building.
After Dean Wei brought the three of them in, Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun started to operate the computer.
Half an hour later, Dean Wei went out and returned. He said to Nangong Yi, “Student Nangong, I have something to attend to. Help me take care of Student Chu and Student Tang. If they need anything, just give it to them.”
“Okay.”
Dean Wei left after Nangong Yi agreed.
Nangong Yi dragged a chair and quietly sat at the side to watch the two of them build a defense net.
About two hours later, Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyu finished setting up the defense network of Imperial University.
Nangong Yi said in praise, “As expected of top Computer Science students chosen by the Computer Science professor. You’re amazing.”
Tang Zhiyu smiled. “Credit goes to Junior.”
Nangong Yi stood up and asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, you’re free tonight, right? Why don’t we go for a meal? I can tell you about the process of running for the Student Union president.”
Before Chu Luo could speak, Tang Zhiyu expressed some surprise. “Are you really going to let Junior run for the position of the Student Union president?”
“I think Chu Luo’s ability is up to the task.”
“Don’t you still have half a year? Why don’t you wait until then to give up the position?”
“I want to apply for a graduate degree at XX University in Russia. I still have a lot to prepare.”
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyun stopped asking.
Chu Luo said, “Imperial University is one of the top ten universities in the world. Why are you going overseas?”
She didn’t understand at all.
Nangong Yi smiled and said, “Every school has a specialization that it’s famous for. Coincidentally, XX University is world number one in this specialization I like, so I want to go.”
“Internet classes are so advanced nowadays. Can’t you just directly apply for online learning?”
“How can online lessons be as good as face-to-face learning?”
Chu Luo wasn’t convinced.. “They’re the same.”
