Chapter 280: There Has to Be a Reason for Liking and Not Liking Someone
Nangong Yi and Chu Luo had different views. In the end, he simply smiled and didn’t say anything.
It was time to eat, and the three of them went to the school restaurant.
There weren’t many people in the school restaurant on Saturday, but after the three of them entered, it still caused a considerable sensation. Nangong Yi had no choice but to ask for a small private room.
After sitting down, Nangong Yi carefully told Chu Luo about the Student Union’s election process.
“…What I’m talking about is the process of running for the ministers. To be elected as the president of the Student Union, besides getting 80% of the Student Union’s approval, you also have to get the approval of all the ministers.”
Chu Luo glanced at Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi smiled and said, “Junior Chu, don’t take it lightly. The Student Union places emphasis on capabilities. It’s not easy for you to get the approval of all the ministers.
“Every minister of the Student Union isn’t weak, especially since they have their own strengths in every field.”
“You mean, I have to be more powerful than all of them?”
“You can say that.”
Before Chu Luo could react, Tang Zhiyun got a little worried. “Junior, you are so busy with your lessons. How can you have time to make those people approve of you?”
Nangong Yi’s smile deepened. “That depends on how Junior Chu arranges her time. Besides, it doesn’t necessarily need a lot of time to obtain everyone’s approval.”
Chu Luo thought so too and nodded.
“Of course, it’s also necessary to have an appropriate connection with the ministers. Junior Chu, you’d better take some time to interact with everyone. This way, you can quickly understand those people’s temper.”
Chu Luo glanced at him as if she knew what he meant and didn’t say anything else. Instead, she took out her earpiece from her pocket and stuffed it in her ear as she listened to Korean.
Nangong Yi: “…”
He was suddenly worried that she wouldn’t listen to him.
After dinner, the three of them walked out of the private room. Nangong Yi went to settle the bill.
Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun were standing behind him. Chu Luo suddenly thought of Wang Mingtao and asked, “Senior Tang, did Mingtao go to deliver flowers again this weekend?”
“Yes,” Tang Zhiyun said. “He went with Uncle Wang.”
Chu Luo nodded.
At this point, Tang Zhiyun said, amused, “Mingtao called me this morning and complained he got tortured because you haven’t been playing games recently.”
“Mm? Who tortured him?” Chu Luo narrowed her eyes.
“He didn’t say. He just said that he wanted us to help him take revenge tonight.”
Nangong Yi, who happened to hear this, took the change the cashier handed him and asked with a smile, “You’re talking about ‘Battle of Lightyears,’ right?”
Tang Zhiyun nodded. “Yes.”
“I like this game too.” At this point, Nangong Yi glanced at Chu Luo and said, “We can play two rounds together sometime.”
It wasn’t a surprise that Nangong Yi knew how to play “Battle of Lightyears.” Tang Zhiyun replied, “Sure.”
At this moment, footsteps came from behind Chu Luo and the others.
A gentle and weak female voice sounded. “Thank you for today. If not for your help, I would have had to push the bike for half an hour.”
“It’s fine. It’s nothing.” After the male voice finished speaking, he walked to the counter first. “Please help us tally the bill.”
“I said I would treat you.”
“As a boy, how can I let a girl treat me?”
The boy standing by the counter turned around and met Chu Luo’s gaze.
Chu Luo glanced at him before shifting her gaze to the girl.
The boy smiled in surprise and said, “Chu Luo, what a coincidence.”
It was He Jiang and Qing Ning.
Chu Luo nodded at him but didn’t say anything.
However, He Jiang asked her enthusiastically, “Chu Luo, what are you doing this weekend? I was planning to call you and ask you to come out for a gathering.”
“I’m following Professor Tang to the hospital.”
He Jiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he patted his forehead. “I was wondering why Li Tao stopped me from calling. Looks like it’s useless even if I called you.”
“That’s right.” Chu Luo asked straightforwardly, “Are you very free today?”
“Why would I be? I spent almost the entire day at the library. I only went out to buy something after three in the afternoon.”
At this point, he pointed at Qing Ning and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect to see Senior Qing Ning’s bike break down, so I helped her fix it. Senior Qing Ning insisted on treating me to a meal.”
After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chu Luo turned to look at Qing Ning.
Qing Ning explained in a soft and pitiful voice, “I didn’t know you two knew each other. I’m sorry.”
“Senior Qing Ning, why did you apologize to Chu Luo?” He Jiang was a little puzzled.
Even Tang Zhiyun and Nangong Yi looked at Qing Ning in surprise.
“Ha.” Chu Luo chuckled. The three boys turned to look at her.
Chu Luo also looked at her strangely and asked, “That’s right. Why did you apologize to me?”
“I…” Qing Ning realized that she had said something wrong and was a little helpless. She quickly explained, “I didn’t mean that. I mean… Cough, cough…”
Qing Ning was obviously anxious and suddenly started coughing.
“Senior Qing Ning, are you okay?” He Jiang asked concernedly when he saw her like this.
Qing Ning waved at him and coughed a few more times before saying, “It’s fine. I think I’ve caught a cold.”
After saying that, she said to him, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to treat me this time. I want to go back to the dormitory to rest first.”
“Eh, okay.”
He Jiang went to settle the bill.
Qing Ning nodded at Chu Luo and left.
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at Qing Ning’s back.
After He Jiang paid the bill, he saw that she had left and was a little confused. “That’s strange. Why did Senior Qing Ning leave so quickly?”
Chu Luo only glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
Nangong Yi chuckled and teased, “I think that girl was a little afraid to see you just now. Did you do something to her?”
He Jiang looked at Chu Luo curiously. Thinking about how Chu Luo was especially fierce sometimes, he subconsciously asked, “Chu Luo, did you beat up someone Senior Qing Ning knew? Is she afraid of you?”
Chu Luo asked breezily, “Why didn’t you say that I beat her up?”
He Jiang’s lips twitched. “Senior Qing Ning is such a gentle girl. How could you bear to beat her up?”
Chu Luo raised her fist and waved it at him.
He Jiang quickly took a big step back and asked with a confused expression, “When did I provoke you?”
Chu Luo retracted her hand and snorted. “I’m just telling you, as long as someone provokes me, I’ll beat them up no matter what they look like.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
Tang Zhiyun and Nangong Yi glanced at He Jiang at the same time and followed her out.
He Jiang was stunned. “What did I say wrong? You?are?very fierce!”
The three of them walked out of the restaurant. Nangong Yi asked in a casual tone, “Junior Chu doesn’t seem to like that girl just now, huh?”
Chu Luo was baffled. “Why should I like her?”
Nangong Yi was stunned by this question. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, “There has to be a reason for liking and not liking someone.”
“Reason? That person is pretentious. Feels tiring just looking at her.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, Nangong Yi and Tang Zhiyun fell silent for a few seconds and laughed at the same time.
As the three of them walked towards the parking lot, Nangong Yi said, “Junior, your method of dealing with interpersonal relationships isn’t good. You can’t be too obvious when dealing with people you don’t like, especially when you don’t have something on that person.”
Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun looked at Nangong Yi with sparkling eyes.
Nangong Yi just smiled lightly, making it impossible for anyone to guess that he was the one who spoke next. “Some people like to pretend. Just think of a way to make her unable to continue pretending. This way, her true colors will naturally be exposed.”
“What if she’s born good at pretending?”
“If she’s born good at pretending, just find what she cares about the most and expose her. As long as she’s human, there will always be a reverse scale[1].”
“Then what’s your reverse scale?”
Not only was Nangong Yi not angry at Chu Luo’s sudden question, but he also laughed out loud. “I have many reverse scales. What is Junior asking about? If you want to know, I can tell you slowly.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and didn’t bother to answer. She walked to a bike, swiped her card, and pushed it out. She said to Tang Zhiyun, “Senior Tang, I will go back first.”
Tang Zhiyun nodded. “Be careful on the way.”
Nangong Yi also pushed out a bike. “I’ll leave with you.”
The two of them rode their bikes out of the school.
At this moment, the streetlights in the school were already lit. It had rained last night and the weather was cold to begin with today. With the wind, it was even colder.
Nangong Yi suddenly asked, “Junior Chu, I have a question that I’ve been wanting to ask. Do you mind?”
Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at him. She said calmly, “Since it’s a question that will make me mind, don’t ask.”
“Haha, now that you’ve said that, I’m even more curious.” Nangong Yi asked directly, “You’re Bai Ling, right?”
