Chu Luo pursed her lips and looked at the “weak” Li Yan. After a while, she walked over and dispensed a pill for him with a stiff face.
“Take the medicine first.”
Li Yan took the medicine and said very calmly, “My throat feels a little uncomfortable. I can’t swallow it without water.”
Chu Luo continued to look at him with a tense face.
A few seconds later, she turned around and poured him a cup of warm water.
Li Yan propped himself up and leaned against the bedhead to take the medicine before drinking the water.
After swallowing, he looked at her with his deep eyes.
Chu Luo gestured at him reluctantly. “Sit down a little.”
Li Yan followed her instructions.
Only then did Chu Luo take off his shoes and sit behind him, using internal energy to spread the medicine he had taken throughout his body.
After doing all this, she got off the bed and lowered her eyes without looking at him. She said, “If you’re not feeling well, don’t get up.”
With that said, she turned around and strode out of the door in frustration.
Why did she care if he was alright? He deserved it!
Li Yan watched as the petite figure fled in a huff, and his lips suddenly curled into a faint smile.
After Chu Luo walked out of Li Yan’s bedroom, she first went to the guest room to wash up.
When she got downstairs, Abel was already waiting.
When Abel saw Chu Luo coming down, he quickly went up to her and asked, “Miss Chu, did Master have a headache when he woke up this morning?”
Chu Luo didn’t want to mention Li Yan and nodded casually. “Probably.”
After saying that, she walked out of the door.
When Abel heard this, he chased after her with a worried expression and continued asking, “Miss Chu, did the hangover soup I prepared for my master last night fail? How is my master now? Do you need a doctor to take a look at him?”
“Then go get a doctor.”
Abel suddenly stopped talking. He’d only casually mentioned looking for a doctor. His master would never allow ordinary doctors to get close to him.
Chu Luo glanced at Abel and continued walking out the door. As she walked, she said, “You can just get someone to make some stomach-nourishing porridge for him. There’s no need to get a doctor.”
“The porridge is ready.”
“Then bring it to him.”
After saying that, Chu Luo walked out of the door. Her voice came from outside. “Don’t follow me.”
Abel, who was about to follow her, stopped and quickly turned towards the kitchen.
Chu Luo went to the backyard of the villa.
In the backyard, there were many luxuriant trees planted near the yard wall. In other places, there were low ornamental trees and a lawn. There was a big empty space in the middle, and it was quite nice to punch and kick on it.
Chu Luo was about to walk over when he saw a person running over from the other side.
It was Neeson.
Neeson’s expression was filled with his usual arrogance. Probably because he had been running for a while, there was sweat on the tip of his nose and in his hair.
He immediately stopped when he saw Chu Luo.
He didn’t walk over. Instead, he stood there frowning and asked, “Where have you been these past few days?”
Chu Luo didn’t answer him and only asked, “What’s the matter?”
Neeson lowered his eyes then looked up at her again. “Aren’t you going to learn how to make robots? I can teach you at any time.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Mm, I’ll start learning after breakfast.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Chu Luo prepared to jog.
Still, Neeson stood there staring at her. There was a strange glow in his eyes, as if he had something to ask her. In the end, though, he didn’t ask anything as he watched Chu Luo run past him. Then, he simply followed.
Chu Luo didn’t mind.
The two of them ran together in the backyard.
Abel brought some stomach-nourishing porridge to Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan was still lying in bed, he quickly asked worriedly, “Master, you don’t look well. Why don’t I get Doctor Boni to take a look at you?”
“No need.” Li Yan asked, “What is Luoluo doing?”
“Miss Chu is running in the backyard.”
“Mm.”
Abel placed the porridge on the bedside table and said, “Master, Miss Chu asked me to prepare the stomach-nourishing porridge for you.”
Li Yan glanced at the bowl of porridge, which smelled strongly of chicken soup. His expression softened a little.
At that moment, Abel thought of something and added, “Neeson is also running in the backyard.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Go down and take a look.”
“Yes, Master.”
Abel turned and walked down the stairs.
Li Yan got off the bed and walked to the window to draw the curtains.
He happened to see the two figures running one after another, as well as the gaze of the person behind who had been staring at the person in front.
A murderous glint flashed across Li Yan’s eyes.
Chu Luo hadn’t run for long when she saw Abel walking over.
She happened to run to his side, so she asked, “What’s the matter?”
Abel glanced at Neeson, who was following behind Chu Luo, and thought, ‘You even dare to have designs on Master’s woman. You’re simply courting death.’
He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just came to see if you needed anything.”
“No.”
After saying that, Chu Luo continued running.
However, Abel didn’t leave. He stood where he could see the two of them and waited, staring at Neeson anxiously.
Then, Chu Luo finished running and walked into the villa.
Abel immediately followed.
Chu Luo asked as she walked, “Where’s the car I drove back yesterday?”
“Miss Chu, are you looking for your phone?”
“Mm.”
Last night, Tang Zhiyun and the other three didn’t go back until 11 pm. Tang Zhiyun had sent her a message at that time, but Chu Luo had only glanced at it and didn’t reply. She was ready to reply now.
Abel said, “Miss Chu, I placed your phone in the living room last night.”
The two of them walked to the living room.
Abel hurried over to get her phone.
Chu Luo took a look and saw that Tang Zhiyun and the others hadn’t sent her any more messages or called her. Clearly, they were very assured seeing that she had left with Li Yan.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and gave Wang Mingtao a call.
Wang Mingtao picked up the call quickly. He raised his voice and said, “Sister Chu, the seniors aren’t up yet.”
After saying that, he immediately said to her, “Sister Chu, you have no idea. Last night, when the four senior brothers came back, they brought a lot of things. I heard that they were given to you by the fans guarding the hotel. Those things are all for you.”
Chu Luo said, “I don’t want them.”
Wang Mingtao: “The seniors didn’t want them either. It’s just that those fans were too crazy. When I went down to pick them up, they were surrounded and couldn’t leave. It was the hotel manager who’d persuaded the seniors to accept the gifts so as to send the fans away.”
Chu Luo thought about the situation at that time. Tang Zhiyun and the other three probably couldn’t control it either. So she nodded and asked, “Did anyone come to the floor where we live?”
Wang Mingtao: “No. I only found out last night that our entire floor had been booked by someone. The manager even arranged for more than ten bodyguards to guard the elevator. No one could come up.”
Chu Luo was relieved.
Wang Mingtao asked, “Sister Chu, when are you coming over?”
Then, he added, “You’d better not come over. What if those people are still waiting downstairs?”
Chu Luo thought about it and agreed.
After the two of them finished speaking, Wang Mingtao suddenly laughed. He said, “Sister Chu, today, can we start calculating how much we won from the bet?”
Chu Luo remembered this and nodded. She said, “I’ll go take a look after dinner. You just have to wait for the money to go into your accounts.”
“Hehehe.” Wang Mingtao was especially excited. “Our ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ is awesome. Not only did we clinch first place in the World Championship, we even won so much money in the bet. I can brag about this for countless years.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she couldn’t help but smile. She nodded.
The two of them spoke for a while more before hanging up.
Chu Luo went to eat first. While eating, she asked Abel, “Where is Neeson eating?”
Abel didn’t even blink. “Mr. Neeson doesn’t like to eat with others. He always eats alone in his room.”
Chu Luo thought about it and felt that it was normal for Neeson to not like eating with outsiders since he didn’t know anyone at the moment, so she stopped asking.
After the meal, she asked Abel to bring her a laptop.
Chu Luo went invisible and logged in. As soon as she entered, she saw her “Messages” flashing non-stop.
It was from He Jiang and Li Tao.
The two of them had suffered a serious blow last time. They only sent her a message of encouragement before Chu Luo came to the US and didn’t disturb her after that.
The messages sent by the two of them were from after yesterday’s match. One could see excitement and pride in their words.
They were congratulating her at the same time.
Li Tao said, “You’re indeed the most arrogant girl in our Ocean City’s elite high school, the best wherever you go.”
He Jiang said, “If I weren’t worried that you would be surrounded by people when you go to Imperial University in the future, I would have wanted everyone around me to know that [Bai Ling] is you. Chu Luo, good job. You make me worship you even more.”
Chu Luo didn’t reply after reading their messages.
Then, she logged into the official betting platform of “Battle of Lightyears.”
The amount betting on their win was 8.97 billion yuan, and the amount betting on their loss was 12.55 billion yuan.
Below was the list of people who had bet on their victory.
Chu Luo quickly scanned the name list. She could roughly see their IDs here. It showed that 90% of the people on that list were from the empire.
After reading it, she clicked on the distribution application (there was a professional distribution betting team on the betting platform).
Then, the system sent her a message that basically said that a staff member would contact her soon.
In less than a minute, her phone rang.
Chu Luo picked up the call and heard a familiar voice on the other end. “Hello, Miss Chu. I’m Secretary Tan. As the stakes you’ve set this time are too high, I’ll be in charge of this matter.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised and asked casually, “Are you very free?”
Secretary Tan was obviously stunned for a moment and felt a little sheepish. His tone immediately became serious. “This is an especially important matter. It’s normal for me to handle it.”
