When Nangong Yi heard Chu Luo say that, he knew that it must be a secret, so he stopped asking.

He changed the topic and asked, “Junior, are you still going to the Archeology Department after school today?”

“No. I have something to attend to at the technology building after school today.”

“Alright then. I should be going there every day for the next few days.”

“Didn’t they not have time to repair your ancient artifact recently? What’s the use of you going?”

“I want to learn from them. When I encounter something simple, it’s best if I can fix it myself.”

Chu Luo was silent for two seconds before saying, “You’re planning to earn all the money yourself.”

When Nangong Yi heard this, he laughed. After laughing, he said, “Junior, you know that I’m going overseas after New Year’s Day. My family’s auction house has a branch in the country I’m going to. When I receive damaged ancient items, I can’t possibly mail them back and ask them to help repair them, right?”

Ancient items were basically fragile items, especially those that were damaged. It was definitely unrealistic to mail them.

Chu Luo accepted his explanation.

Then, after Nangong Yi told her what matters the president had to handle, Chu Luo left the Student Union for class.

The day ended quickly.

Chu Luo went to the restaurant at the Computer Science Department to meet the Wu father-and-daughter pair. After the three of them finished their meal, they went to the technology building.

After what had happened last night, the technology building closed at five.

The three of them walked in. The entire building was unusually quiet. Professor Wu told Chu Luo, “Tonight, Professor Mongla brought the other technicians to the Blazing Glory Gaming Department. They should be going over during this period of time.”

Chu Luo had known about this long ago and wasn’t surprised.

Wu Yiyao smiled and said, “Coincidentally, I’ve always wanted to see what the internal defense network that Imperial University built (Chu Luo had previously built an external defense network) looks like. I heard that Imperial University’s internal defense network was jointly built by all the professors and teachers in the Computer Science Department.”

Chu Luo nodded. “That’s right. If not for this defense network, Imperial University’s database would have been hacked countless times.”

“Unfortunately, this defense network can defend against hackers, but not against internal thieves.”

“That’s why we have to build something that can defend against internal thieves.”

Professor Wu brought the two of them to the computer room. The three of them found a computer and sat down before starting to build an internal defense system.

They worked until past ten at night when Li Yan came to pick Chu Luo up.

After walking out of the technology building, Chu Luo saw Li Yan standing under the streetlamp alone. She looked around in surprise before walking towards him. She then said goodbye to the Wu father and daughter and walked over.

“Yan, you drove the car in?”

“No.” Li Yan put on the hat in her hand and said, “I rode in on a bike.”

For some reason Chu Luo remembered Sun Tianhao saying in the morning that Li Yan—who sat in the office all day long, definitely didn’t have any muscles. She couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Did you meet Sun Tianhao in school?”

“No.”

The two of them quickly walked to the parking lot.

Li Yan pushed out a bike and Chu Luo naturally sat in the back. She hugged his waist and leaned her head on his back. “Sun Tianhao said that you can’t beat him.”

Li Yan immediately sneered. He had originally planned to give in to Sun Tianhao a little, but now it seemed like there was no need.

Chu Luo didn’t know what Li Yan was thinking and told him about the results of tonight.

The winter evening wind whistled upon one’s body, bringing upon a cold sensation.

After driving for a while, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Are you cold?”

“No.” Chu Luo felt very warm leaning on his back. “With you blocking all the wind, I’m not cold at all… Are you cold?”

“No.”

“Hehe, you haven’t ridden a bike to pick me up from school in a long time.”

“If you like, I’ll ride a bike to pick you up every night.”

“No. It’s so cold. You can just pick me up like this once in a while.”

“Mm.”

As the two of them spoke, the few kilometers of journey became very short.

When the bike was about to reach the school gate, Chu Luo actually saw Nangong Yi, who was also riding the bike towards the school gate.

She tugged at Li Yan’s clothes. “Yan, ride faster. I’ll greet Senior Nangong.”

Li Yan quickly rode over.

“Senior, why are you only going back now?”

Nangong Yi slowed down and nodded at Li Yan before answering with a smile, “The professors got off work at ten. I left with them.”

Just as he finished speaking, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Nangong Yi stopped and took out his phone to take a look. He said, “My chauffeur is urging me. CEO Li, Junior, go back and rest early. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Nangong Yi quickly hopped onto his bike and left first.

Li Yan continued to ride his bike slowly.

The two of them had just rode out of the school gate when Chu Luo received a call from Sun Tianhao.

There was the sound of the wind on Sun Tianhao’s side and his voice was very loud. “Junior, is Li Yan here to pick you up?”

Chu Luo replied, “Mm, we’ve already rode out of the school gate.”

Sun Tianhao: “Alright, we’re almost done here as well.”

At this point, he added, “I even saw your Student Union president, Nangong Yi, just now. Is your Student Union president that busy? He actually doesn’t go home until ten.”

“He’s studying ancient relics repair at the Archeology Department.”

“Oh, oh, I see.”

As Chu Luo was leaning on Li Yan’s back, Li Yan could hear what she was saying to Nangong Yi, so he asked, “Does Nangong Yi know what Sun Tianhao and the others are doing?”

When Sun Tianhao heard his question, he said arrogantly, “I’m very reliable. When he came over just now, I pretended to be patrolling.”

Li Yan didn’t say anything else.

Chu Luo spoke to Sun Tianhao for a while more before hanging up.

After the two of them went back and took a shower, Chu Luo opened her email. When she saw the email Chen Xuan had sent her, she remembered that she had to go for the casting this weekend.

However, she hadn’t thought of where to conduct the casting.

Chu Luo suddenly became vexed.

Li Yan, who was sitting at the side and looking at the stock market charts, tilted his head and saw her troubled face. He pinched her cheek and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Luo tilted her head and said to him, “I’ve been busy recently. I actually forgot to tell Chen Xuan that I’ll be conducting an audition for the cosmetics endorsement this time.”

Li Yan looked like it was no big deal. “When is the audition? Let them go to the Blazing Glory headquarters. I’ll get someone to help you select the endorsement model.”

“No. I want to choose personally. I don’t want to go to the Blazing Glory headquarters either.”

Li Yan stared at her determined expression and pinched her cheek again. As her cheek was smooth and tender to the touch, he couldn’t help but pinch it twice.

Chu Luo finally realized that he was taking advantage of her. She put down her laptop in dissatisfaction and turned around to attack his face with both hands.

“Big baddie, how dare you take advantage of me at such a serious time!”

As Chu Luo spoke, she pinched his face with both hands.

Li Yan was amused by her reaction. He pulled her into his arms and deliberately said something in her ear that made her blush.

Chu Luo quickly pushed him away and said, “Stop fooling around. I’m troubled about where to conduct the audition.”

Li Yan tightened his grip on her and suggested, “Since you don’t want to audition at the Blazing Glory headquarters, why don’t you go to the film studio complex?”

“Why the film studio?”

“Your cosmetics are being marketed as luxury goods. You must consider many aspects when selecting who to endorse your products. One of them is their quality. If you hold the audition there, you can see their demeanor thoroughly.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she thought seriously for a while and suddenly thought of a very good idea. She said to him, “Then I’ll disguise myself tomorrow and mix in between them to see who’s suitable.”

“Sure, but I have a request.”

“What request?”

“Make yourself uglier.”

“…”

Chu Luo puffed up her cheeks and poked his chest in dissatisfaction. “The first condition I set for my audition is that one’s outer appearance has to be good. By asking me to make myself uglier, aren’t you letting me be mocked by the crowd?”

Li Yan looked at her beautiful face and frowned. “You can mix in with the makeup artists.”

Chu Luo felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to be among the makeup artists, so she nodded. “Alright.”

She had originally wanted to talk to him about this matter further, but his hand became a little naughty.

Then, Li Yan didn’t give Chu Luo a chance to speak and turned off the lights with her in his arms.

…

The next morning, Chu Luo told Professor Wu and the others that she had something on in the morning and would only go to Imperial University in the afternoon. She disguised herself and drove to the film studio with Li Yan.

In the front passenger seat, Chu Luo deliberately asked, “Are you really coming with me?”

Li Yan drove and looked ahead. “I’ll be your bodyguard.”

Chu Luo subconsciously smiled and said, “Will this delay your work? If you can’t finish your work today and have to work overtime tonight, don’t blame me.”

“I won’t blame you. How is work as important as my wife?”

With a pursed-lip smile, Chu Luo retracted her gaze and took out her phone to play.
