Chapter 248 – Green Tea?

Wu Siyi said in a low voice, “I was the one who asked him not to send me any more food. My leg doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s not a good idea to let him keep sending me food.”
“What’s wrong with that? You were run over by him. Even if you can walk, you have to say that you can’t. Moreover, it’s only your first day. How can you be fine?”
The more Xiao Ling spoke, the more indignant she became. “No, Siyi, you should call Wang Mingtao. Why are you so kind-hearted to such a person? Especially to that friend of his, Chu Luo. Look at her attitude yesterday. She even said that she wanted to see the surveillance cameras. Isn’t it a fact that he bumped into you?”
“It’s not like that.” Wu Siyi quickly stopped Xiao Ling from taking the phone from her pocket and said, “Don’t call him. I talked to Wang Mingtao for a long time before he agreed to stop sending me food. If you call him like this, how will he look at me?”
“It doesn’t matter what he thinks of you. He should serve you well right now.”
…
“Little Chu, do you know those two girls?”
Wu Yiyao had been a little busy these past two days and didn’t check out the BBS at all. The teachers didn’t gossip about such stuff either, so she didn’t know what had happened.
Chu Luo nodded and briefly told her about Wang Mingtao and her bumping into that girl once.
Wu Yiyao frowned. “This girl is really…” Making her speechless.
Wu Yiyao didn’t say the last three words. She added, “Then ask Little Wang what’s going on. We can’t let these two girls criticize him behind his back and implicate you.”
Chu Luo wasn’t afraid of being implicated at all, but she still sent Wang Mingtao a message to ask.
Wang Mingtao’s return message only arrived after a while. He said:
“Sister Chu, my father sprained his back last night. I was going to come to the technology building to cheer you on today, but my father accepted a batch of gardening projects and had to send them over to be planted today. So now, my family’s workers and I are still planting flowers in the buyer’s villa.”
Wang Mingtao’s family was in the gardening business. Chu Luo had heard from him before that they had a lot of orders during various festivals.
At this moment, Wang Mingtao sent another message: “Before I left in the morning, I’d especially sent over the nourishing soup my mother brewed last night. I told that girl that the nourishing soup was enough for her to drink in the morning and at noon. I even ordered takeout for her at noon. Last night, she refused to let me deliver it. She said that if I did, she would throw it away.”
As a straightforward boy, Wang Mingtao couldn’t hear the politeness in the girl’s words at all. He immediately believed her, so he didn’t send her food at night.
After Chu Luo read the message, she replied, “Come over and get some ointment for Uncle Wang’s waist.”
Wang Mingtao: “I probably won’t be back before midnight. I’ll ask my mother to come and get it later.”
Chu Luo: “Okay. I’ll leave the ointment with Sister Wu. When she gets here, call her.”
After typing, she showed her phone to Wu Yiyao.
Wu Yiyao laughed. “That girl’s friend complained so much, but the girl only replied casually. This means that she’s actually also a little dissatisfied with Wang Mingtao’s actions.”
“Pretentious!” Chu Luo snorted. “Since she’s dissatisfied, why did she say those words on purpose? Did she expect Mingtao to beg her?”
After saying that, she raised her voice and called out, “Waiter.”
Everyone looked over.
As she was sitting in the booth, others couldn’t see who it was without specifically looking.
Everyone looked over and realized it was Chu Luo.
Everyone looked at her.
When Wu Siyi and Xiao Ling saw Chu Luo, their expressions became a little unnatural.
When the waiter walked over, Chu Luo pointed at Wu Siyi and said, “My friend asked me to pay for that girl’s dinner. My friend bumped into her on the school path yesterday and promised to deliver her three meals in the next three days. If you provide delivery service here, I can pay for the three meals in the next two days as well.”
The service staff stopped and said, “Classmate, our school has many hardworking students. You can directly pay for one of them to deliver it.”
“No…” Wu Siyi was about to speak.
Chu Luo glanced at her lightly and said, “Alright. Send her the biggest portion for a single person for the next two days. Also, make her some tonics for every meal. I’ll pay the bill later.”
“Okay.”
The service staff turned around and walked towards the counter.
Chu Luo looked at the two girls standing there and stood up. “My friend must have told you that his father’s waist was sprained. He has to help his father deliver some goods these next few days, so I don’t want to hear you gossip about him in private again.”
“I didn’t.” Wu Siyi lowered her eyes as she spoke, looking like she had suffered a grievance but not daring to retort.
“Ha!”
Chu Luo sneered. “Don’t mislead everyone with this ‘Someone is bullying me’ look. Everyone should have already seen the video of Mingtao and me bumping into you yesterday.”
Chu Luo had uploaded that video last night.
The crowd looked at Wu Siyi’s aggrieved expression and started discussing.
“Actually, Chu Luo’s friend has already done very well. This person is too much. On those two occasions, she was the one who bumped into the other party. Speaking of which, how different is her behavior from that of scammers outside?”
“That’s right. This kind of girl takes advantage of others and pretends to be obedient. She’s simply a green tea.”
“And that girl beside her. She looks like she wants to eat Chu Luo up when Green Tea didn’t even say anything. How ugly.”
“Haha.”
…
Chu Luo sat down and Wu Yiyao nodded at her.
“Little Chu, you handled it well. Coincidentally, you managed to stop those two girls from continuing to make everyone misunderstand.”
Chu Luo smiled. She wouldn’t tell Wu Yiyao. Actually, this was the sort of scene she had accidentally witnessed in the palace when she had sneaked out of the Priest Hall.
After the two of them finished eating, the takeout Chu Luo had ordered for Tang Zhiyun and the others had been booked.
After settling the bill, the two of them carried a few bags each and walked out.
Not long after she walked out, she heard a voice calling out to Chu Luo from behind.
It was that Wu Siyi.
Wu Siyi chased after her and said, “Chu Luo, I told Wang Mingtao that he doesn’t have to send me three meals. You really don’t have to help me pay for food for the next two days.”
Chu Luo sized her up and said coldly, “If you don’t want it, just throw it away when it’s delivered.”
Wu Siyi: “…”
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao turned around and left.
When they arrived at the technology building, those people were still guarding it. Wu Yiyao said to them, “Students, go and eat first. There’s no need to stay here forever. It’s the same if you watch in the dormitory.”
A student smiled and said, “Professor Wu.” It was obvious that he knew Wu Yiyao. “We have two high-end computers in our dormitory for the seniors to use in a hurry. The rest of us are worried that turning on our laptops will interfere with those two computers, so we’re prepared to go back later.”
Wu Yiyao nodded with a smile. “You’re thoughtful.”
“I’ve always admired the Four Swordsmen and some other computer experts in our department. I hope they can win the championship this year.”
Wu Yiyao nodded. “Even so, you have to go eat.”
“We know. We brought bread and water.”
Wu Yiyao laughed and turned to Chu Luo. “Little Chu, let’s send the food in first.”
Chu Luo nodded at her.
The two of them turned around and walked into the technology building.
Just as she reached the steps, two familiar voices came from behind. “Chu Luo, good luck. You’re the best.”
Chu Luo turned around and glanced at Li Tao and He Jiang, who were standing a little behind. She nodded at them and said to everyone, “This year’s champion will definitely be our empire’s team.”
With that, she entered.
At midnight, the Empire Team was attacked by a few allied teams.
Everyone stared at the computer screen and quickly defended and counterattacked.
“F*ck! These people really intend to kill us first!”
“Hmph! Want to f*ck us up? See if they have the ability.”
Everyone’s fingers flew across the keyboards as they typed. The rolling program dazzled everyone’s eyes, but they stared at the computer in front of them with firm expressions.
As Chu Luo typed on the keyboard, she asked, “In the past years, when you were attacked, were there any other teams that took advantage of the situation?”
“Yes,” Xie Mingtao said. “Most of our Empire teams lost because of this.”
“In that case, why don’t you strengthen your defense?”
“This is already our strongest defense line.”
Chu Luo quickly typed on the keyboard and looked at the rapidly rolling program. After a while, she said, “In that case, why don’t we make the defense wall special?”
Tang Zhiyun and the other three knew Chu Luo’s ability, but the other four looked at her in confusion.
Chu Luo said, “The protective wall we built isn’t special enough, so it’s easy to break through it. As citizens of the empire, why can’t we use our ancestors’ method to create a defensive wall?”
“What method? Are we going to use the Art of War?”
“No, why don’t we build a Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Net? Taiji is unpredictable. We can even trap them when the enemy attacks, and it will give us time to deal with them.”
They were silent for a while when they heard this, then Tang Zhiyun nodded in agreement. “That is a good idea, Junior. Our defense wall has always been just one wall. If it is broken, the enemy will breach inside. If we build a Taiji Eight Trigrams wall, it can indeed trap them.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m not convinced by anything except the ancestors’ Taiji Eight Trigrams Formation.”
“This kind of protective wall is very difficult to build, right? We computer science students are not familiar with the Taiji Eight Trigrams. We have no idea where to start.”
Hearing them say that, Chu Luo said, “Why don’t we ask others if they know anything about Taiji Eight Trigrams?”
Yu Lei: “That’s a good idea.”
Chu Luo said, “Continue defending. I’ll ask.”
After saying that, she quickly inserted another program into the program.
Then, a row of small words appeared on all the participants’ computers. “Who knows Taiji Eight Trigrams? Build a Taiji Eight Trigrams defense wall with me.”
…
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
