Chapter 42
For the next two days, Chu Zhengyang had something to attend to and left the house early every day, returning only late at night.
Wei Wei directly ignored Chu Luo and placed her focus on Chu Ting.
At noon on the last day before the college entrance examination, the Grade 12 students returned to school.
When Chu Luo and Chu Ting appeared at the same time in the school, everyone who saw them stopped and pointed at them.
“Look, the school belle is here with Chu Luo.”
“Didn’t they say that the school belle has a mental problem? I wonder if she’s recovered yet.”
“Don’t you think that the school belle isn’t that good-looking walking beside Chu Luo?”
“I seldom meet Chu Luo. It turns out that she has such a good disposition. Also… I seem to remember that Chu Luo was shorter than Chu Ting two months ago. Now, she’s actually as tall as Chu Ting.”
“I think Chu Luo is prettier than the school belle. The real school belle should be Chu Luo.”
…
Hearing these discussions, Chu Ting was so angry that her heart, liver, and spleen were about to get distorted.
At this moment, another voice was heard. “The school hunk will definitely be here today. I wonder if the school hunk will change his mind and accept Chu Luo as his girlfriend after seeing her?”
“I’m more interested in seeing Chu Luo, the school hunk, and Jiang Siyi meet at the same time.”
“Hehe, me too. It will definitely be very exciting!”
When Chu Ting heard these words, she finally had an excuse to mock, “Some people are really nothing but dogs… Ah, Chu Luo, what are you doing?”
Chu Luo put down her raised hand and said innocently, “I’m not doing anything though? It’s just that my hand isn’t listening to me. It wants to beat someone up.”
When Chu Ting heard this, her face turned pale and she said angrily, “You… you dare!”
“Oh~ If you want to see if I dare, then continue.”
Without any backing, Chu Ting definitely wouldn’t dare. She glared at Chu Luo before quickly walking away.
As she looked at the fleeing figure, the corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up as she slowly walked towards the school building.
Coincidentally, she encountered Zhang Tianyi on the steps in front of the school building.
Zhang Tianyi was wearing a mask, but the powerful narcissistic aura on his body wasn’t blocked in the slightest by it.
When he saw Chu Luo, who looked like a different person, his eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief. “You’re actually Chu Luo?”
Chu Luo glanced at him coldly. “Do we know each other?”
Zhang Tianyi narrowed his eyes and his confidence exploded. “Chu Luo, what are you pretending for? Back then, when you were rejected by me, you almost jumped off a building. Ah~~~”
Chu Luo retracted her leg with undisguised displeasure on her face. “I would have forgotten about this if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
Zhang Tianyi was just about to feel proud of himself when Chu Luo cast a stern gaze over and continued, “Your looks at this level aren’t good enough for my eyes. Back then, Chu Luo only fell for you because her eyes weren’t good. However… I don’t fancy you now.”
After saying that, Chu Luo walked into the school building under everyone’s watchful gaze.
Zhang Tianyi looked at the departing back and didn’t at all believe what Chu Luo had said about not liking him. He wanted to ridicule her.
At this moment, a mocking voice sounded from the crowd. “Some people really don’t know their limits. Don’t they know what they look like now? Do they really think they’re still the school hunk who’s being pursued by girls?”
Zhang Tianyi swept a cold glance over and saw the person clearly. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Li Tao, what do you mean?”
“Since you can still be narcissistic, why don’t you dare to take off your mask?”
After Li Tao finished speaking, he quickly walked over and pulled the mask off of his face.
…
The world suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Tianyi raised his chin smugly and arrogantly. “Hmph, so what if my mask is off? Do you think my face can’t be cured in two months?”
Li Tao took a step back in disdain. “Tsk tsk, indeed, two months can cure your face, but… Zhang Tianyi, when you underwent plastic surgery, didn’t you think that changing your face would make it difficult for you to enter the examination hall?”
That’s right. Ever since the time when the Zhang family had hired an expert to cure Zhang Tianyi’s face and the expert, without even curing his face, suddenly disappeared after receiving a huge sum of money, Zhang Tianyi had gone to get plastic surgery without hesitation.
“Who said I had plastic surgery!” Regarding getting plastic surgery, Zhang Tianyi would definitely not admit it even if he was beaten to death.
“You think we’re all blind? You almost don’t look like you anymore. Don’t tell us that you simply woke up one fine morning with a brand new face.”
Li Tao’s words were really venomous, but the onlookers echoed his laughter.
Other than a small portion of people with good results, those who could enter this elite school were basically those with money and power. These people could appreciate celebrities or unrelated people undergoing plastic surgery, but they couldn’t accept plastic surgery from the school hunk.
The group of girls who had always had a crush on the school hunk felt their hearts shatter.
These things had nothing to do with Chu Luo.
After everyone got their entry slips, the school organized for them to go to the examination venue.
After seeing the examination hall, they returned to school.
Old Gao stood on the podium and looked at everyone who took out their books the moment he came back. He clapped his hands. “Everyone, stop for a while.”
Everyone stopped.
Someone deliberately jeered:
“Old Gao, save the encouraging speech. Let me finish this question first.”
“Time is tight. I’ve got to memorize as many questions as I can. I feel like I still have a lot to memorize.”
Old Gao deliberately put on a straight face. “Now you realize that time is tight. If you’d had this awareness when you were in Grade 10, everyone would be able to get into the key universities by now.”
Everyone: “…”
Old Gao prepared to give them a carrot after striking them with the stick. “The heavens reward the diligent. Hard work will definitely pay off… I know you guys aren’t willing to listen to me anymore, so I’m giving Chu Luo time to come up and help you guys spot a few questions.”
Everyone looked at Chu Luo with the same goal in mind.
Chu Luo stared at Old Gao with her big, confused eyes.
Old Gao looked at her and smiled amiably. “Chu Luo, come up. I believe in your ability.”
At this point, he even said in a joking tone, “There are a total of eight classes in this batch of Grade 12 students. Class 1 to Class 4 are humanities and arts classes, whereas Class 5 to Class 8 are science classes. Class 1 and Class 5 are the elite classes. I’ve endured a lot of sarcasm from Class 1’s form teacher. You guys can help to avenge me. We have to prove that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the ordinary class.”
Everyone: “…”
Old Gao, as an educator, is it really okay for you to say this?
However, what was with this feeling of being moved in their hearts?
While everyone was looking at Chu Luo expectantly, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. “I don’t want to hear Chu Luo spot the questions. She… isn’t worthy!”
It was Jiang Siyi, who had been trying to reduce her presence today.
Jiang Siyi stood up, packed up her things, and left.
Old Gao was furious. He asked the others with a straight face, “Is there anyone else who doesn’t want to listen? If so, you can leave the classroom.”
Everyone sat still.
Ji Cheng, who was sitting behind Chu Luo, said loudly, “In any case, I don’t know how to revise by myself, so I might as well listen to what Chu Luo has to say.”
Li Tao replied, “I believe in Chu Luo.”
Then, all the students with good results chimed in, “We believe in you too.”
Chu Luo didn’t refuse. She walked to the podium and said, “I’ve done all the questions related to the college entrance examination from the past few years. I think the questions for this year’s college entrance examination will be more difficult than the previous ones. That’s why I’ll help everyone spot two major questions per subject. Whether you can remember them or not depends on you.”
After saying this, she started talking.
Time passed by slowly. When the teachers and students of the other classes found out, everyone felt that the form teacher of Grade 12, Class 4 had gone crazy.
This matter quickly spread to Teacher Li’s ears. She scoffed. “The ordinary class is the ordinary class. The exam is coming up soon, and they’re still busy dreaming! I want to see if anyone in their class has the ability to get into Imperial University!”
