Chu Luo couldn’t feel how crazy the outside world was with Li Yan.
At this moment, many merchants wanted to contact her.
One had to know that she was the first female player in the history of “Battle of Lightyears” to have won the World Championship. “Battle of Lightyears” was also the game with the most players in the world. The players were spread across all levels of society, from elementary school students to old people.
[Bai Ling] was the person who stood out the most in this World Championship. Regardless of whether she agreed to endorse or help advertise their products, the effects would be immeasurable.
However, Chu Luo seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world. Even if someone had connections and went to the gaming company to ask about her, they hadn’t been able to get anything out of it.
Some people even offered a high price to get the hackers to dig up information on [Bai Ling]. In the end, all the hackers were counterattacked and their identities were exposed. After that, no hacker dared to investigate [Bai Ling] anymore.
This led some people to have designs on the mysterious [Bai Ling].
Of course, that was for later.
After Chu Luo finished talking to Secretary Tan, she asked Abel to help her call for Neeson.
When Neeson walked over, Chu Luo was looking at a webpage.
It was filled with news about the “Battle of Lightyears” finals. She and [Bai Ling] were now even more famous than international superstars.
There were people who idolized her on the Internet, some who spoke sarcastically, and some who had dirty thoughts.
Looking at the posts that said sour things, Chu Luo pursed her lips and frowned slightly, looking displeased.
Neeson stood there and looked at her side profile. Although he didn’t remember everyone he’d known before, he felt a different kind of closeness towards her.
This was the first person he’d seen, and he’d carved her into his heart.
He felt that she was an angel, the most beautiful angel.
When Abel, who was standing at the side, saw Neeson’s gaze, he quickly reminded Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, Mr. Neeson is here.”
Chu Luo looked up.
She pointed at the sofa beside her. “Sit.”
Neeson walked over and sat down.
Chu Luo asked, “What do I need to learn how to make robots?”
Neeson quickly stated what was needed.
Chu Luo looked at Abel.
Abel quickly said, “I’ll get someone to prepare them immediately.”
After saying that, he didn’t go out. He called someone over with his phone and told the person about the tools he needed. He also said, “Prepare all these tools within an hour.”
“Yes, Butler.”
After the person left, Abel suggested, “Miss Chu, since you can’t learn for the next hour, why don’t you walk around?”
He thought to himself, ‘It’d be best if you went upstairs and saw Master.’
Chu Luo thought for a moment and recalled the wine cellar Li Yan had mentioned. She stood up and said, “Take me to the wine cellar to take a look.”
Abel was a little disappointed but didn’t show it on his face. “Okay, Miss Chu, please come with me.”
Chu Luo stood up and suddenly thought that it wouldn’t be good to let Neeson sit here alone and wait. She asked, “Neeson, do you want to go to the wine cellar with us?”
Abel immediately glared at Neeson without batting an eyelid.
Instead of answering, Neeson stood up.
“Butler Abel, lead the way.”
Abel had no choice but to take the two of them to the warm wine cellar in the basement.
The wine cellar was huge, and the quantity and varieties of wine stored inside were spectacular.
Chu Luo’s eyes lit up when she saw so much wine.
She walked straight to the alcohol and started looking at them.
Abel followed her and introduced the year and place of origin of the wines.
Neeson followed them, keeping silent.
Until the three of them walked to a place where wine was placed in a wooden barrel.
Chu Luo looked at the large wooden barrels of wine and asked curiously, “Why are these wines in wooden barrels?”
“These are the wines produced by my master’s manor. They haven’t been opened yet, so they are being been kept in wooden barrels. However, such wine is more pure and fragrant than the wine sold outside.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she walked to a wooden barrel and asked Abel, “Can I open it?”
“As long as you want to drink, Miss Chu, you can.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she immediately placed her hand on the inlaid lid of the wooden barrel.
“Miss Chu, this wine has never been opened before. It’s a little troublesome to open it. Wait, I’ll get someone to…”
Pfft!
Chu Luo held the lid in her hand and took a deep whiff of the fragrance of the wine that instantly wafted out. She then said to the dumbfounded Abel, “No need to call for help. This kind of lid is very easy to open.”
Abel opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Chu Luo was so enticed by the strong aroma of the wine that she didn’t even want to speak. She looked around and happened to see a wine ladle beside her. She walked over to take the wine ladle, scooped a spoonful, and placed it to her lips to drink.
This mouthful made her eyes brighten.
The sight of it made Abel and Neeson’s hearts soften.
Abel said, “Miss Chu, why don’t I go get you a cup?”
Chu Luo nodded.
When Abel left, he even glanced at Neeson, who was standing there with an expressionless face. Only then did he speed up his pace and head upstairs.
Chu Luo continued to drink from the long ladle. When she realized that Neeson was staring at the ladle in her hand, she said, “If you want to drink, get Butler Abel to get another cup. I’m using this ladle. I won’t let you use it.”
Neeson’s lips moved, and he subconsciously said, “My family also has a very large wine cellar.”
After saying that, he was stunned.
“If you have a wine cellar at home, why do you still want to drink my wine?”
“But I forgot where my house is.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and thought that the fish spirit’s medicine was really good. She said, “Maybe you’ll remember it when you get close to your house one day.”
She was a vengeful person. She had not forgotten about this person controlling the robots to deal with her last time. Therefore, she didn’t have any sympathy for his current situation.
Neeson stopped talking when he heard what Chu Luo said.
He stood there and looked at Chu Luo.
There was a complicated look in his eyes.
Chu Luo was a little unhappy with his gaze. She said, “If there’s nothing else, just think about how to teach me later. I hope to finish learning everything you know in a few days.”
Neeson frowned. “You can’t learn much in a few days.”
“That’s my business. You just need to teach me what you know in a few days.”
“Why do you want to learn this?”
“I like it.”
Chu Luo ignored him and continued drinking.
When Abel came down with the wine glass, Chu Luo was standing by the wooden barrel, drinking happily. Neeson was standing at the side with his eyes lowered, thinking about something.
This made him heave a sigh of relief.
“Miss Chu, I’ve brought you the wine glass.”
Chu Luo took the wine glass from his hand and scooped a few spoonfuls into the wine glass. She wanted to drink all of it, but when the wine glass reached her mouth, she restrained herself.
After all, there were outsiders here, and she had to take into account her image.
After drinking only one glass, Chu Luo had the idea of coming back after her studies ended. The three of them went up.
She had just walked to the living room when she saw Li Yan sitting on the sofa in his casual home clothes.
Li Yan was looking at her.
Finally, his gaze landed on her lips, which had turned red from drinking.
He asked, “Looks like you secretly drank in the wine cellar.”
“What do you mean by secretly drank?” Chu Luo walked towards him in dissatisfaction. As she walked, she said, “You promised me last night that you would treat me to a drink.”
“Is that so?” Li Yan tapped his fingers on his knee and said, “If you like the wine in the wine cellar, we can take it with us when we go home.”
With that, he glanced at Neeson indifferently.
Chu Luo was definitely willing. “You said it. Don’t go back on your words when the time comes.”
“No,” Li Yan said. “But you can’t drink too much at once.”
According to his subordinates, the few jars of wine that Chu Luo had brought back from her trip to the villa last time were gone after just two days. Li Yan felt that he should control her alcohol tolerance.
Chu Luo wanted to say that she wouldn’t get drunk even if she drank a thousand glasses, but when she thought about how this person would think that she had drunk too much, she quickly nodded and replied readily, “Okay.”
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the grapes in her courtyard. She planned to call home later and get the servants to brew the grapes.
The things that Abel had asked someone to buy arrived in an hour.
Neeson asked Chu Luo, “Where do you want to study?”
“Right here.” Li Yan was the first to speak, his tone firm.
Chu Luo didn’t care where she studied. She nodded and said, “Then let’s study here.”
Neeson glanced at Li Yan and felt a flash of displeasure. How could he speak to his angel in such a tone!
Chu Luo spent the entire morning listening to Neeson explain the principles and related mechanical knowledge of making robots.
Li Yan sat at the side and used his laptop to work.
This continued into the afternoon.
At two in the afternoon, Tang Zhiyun, who had finally woken up, called Chu Luo.
After the competition ended, they had to go to the game company to take a look. They also had to go to XX University of Technology to take a look. At the same time, they had to participate in the “Battle of Lightyears” gala.
The schedule was actually very tight.
The two of them agreed to meet at the “Battle of Lightyears” gaming company tomorrow and hung up.
Chu Luo spent the entire day learning about making robots.
It wasn’t until ten at night that their lesson ended.
When it was over, Neeson asked, “When are you coming over to study next?”
Chu Luo thought for a while. She should only be free at night next. She said, “I’ll spare a few hours at night.”
“Okay.”
With that, Neeson carried the pile of items to the room he was staying in.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze and saw Li Yan sitting there with a slight frown.
Li Yan was still holding his laptop. Ever since this afternoon, he had been covered in a cold aura. It was obvious that something had upset him.
Chu Luo walked up to him and was about to speak when Li Yan stood up first. “I’m going out for a while.”
