Chapter 80: Chu Luo’s First Time Cycling
Chu Luo played video games for two days and still didn’t see Li Yan looking for her on the third day. She decided to go to Imperial University to take a look.
When she arrived at the gate of Imperial University, Wang Mingtao was already waiting for her.
When Wang Mingtao saw Chu Luo, he immediately waved at her enthusiastically, his red hair ostentatious. “Sister Bai, over here.”
Before Chu Luo could react, the people who passed by looked at the two of them at the same time.
When they saw Chu Luo, they couldn’t take their eyes away.
Chu Luo didn’t care about the gazes of those people. She walked towards the smiling Wang Mingtao and said to him with a serious expression, “My name is Chu Luo.”
Wang Mingtao worshiped Chu Luo now. When he heard her say that, he immediately gave her a toothy grin and corrected himself. “Sister Chu.”
Chu Luo: “…”
If she didn’t remember wrongly, this person was a few months older than her.
Wang Mingtao said to her excitedly, “Sister Chu, which college do you want to visit first? I’ll take you there.”
Chu Luo had read about Imperial University before. This place occupied more than seven thousand acres. There were more than ten colleges, and there were eighty to ninety specializations in their undergraduate courses. If she really wanted to finish visiting all of them, she would have to spend a few days.
She thought for a moment, then said, “I want to see the history and engineering colleges.”
Wang Mingtao looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
Chu Luo was baffled. “What?”
Wang Mingtao raised his hand and scratched his head. He said honestly, “I thought that you girls liked majors like business and language. I didn’t expect you to like engineering.”
“Wrong. I like many specializations, but I only intend to visit these two colleges today.”
Wang Mingtao was only shocked for a moment. When he thought of Chu Luo’s impressive performance in the game, he immediately sucked up to her. “As expected of Sister Chu. Your gameplay is so amazing. Even the specializations you like are different from that of ordinary girls.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and walked towards the gate.
“Hey! Sister Chu, wait for me.” Wang Mingtao chased after her and said, “Sister Chu, Imperial University is too big. We have to ride a bike.”
Chu Luo followed Wang Mingtao to the shared bike parking lot.
Wang Mingtao took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the sensor before pushing out a bicycle.
Then, he patted the back seat. “Sister Chu, hop on. I’ll give you a ride.”
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at the back seat of the bike. She felt strange about sitting there, so she didn’t move.
Wang Mingtao looked at her in confusion.
Chu Luo looked up and asked, “How did such a vehicle get pushed out from there?”
“You need to have your campus card scanned.”
“Then help me scan one too.”
“But one card can be scanned for only one bike.”
“…”
The two of them stood there and stared at each other. At this moment, a tall boy with a laptop bag walked over.
The boy walked over and subconsciously glanced at the two kids who were staring at each other. He even took an extra glance at Chu Luo, thinking that this girl was really beautiful.
Then, he walked around the two of them and scanned his campus card for a bike. However, when he pushed it out, he realized that Chu Luo was blocking his path.
“Excuse me…”
Chu Luo turned to look at the boy standing behind her.
The boy pointed at where she was standing. “Little girl, please move aside.”
Chu Luo moved to the side.
Wang Mingtao said at the same time, “Sister Chu, isn’t it okay for us to ride just one? Are you worried that I won’t be able to carry you on the bike?”
“I don’t want to sit there,” Chu Luo said with a straight face. “Why don’t I ride the bike and carry you?”
When Wang Mingtao heard this, he suddenly raised his voice. “How can that do? How can I let you carry me?”
“Why not? Are you worried that I won’t be able to carry you?”
Chu Luo was displeased. Although she had never ridden a bike before, she felt that learning it would be easy.
Wang Mingtao pointed at the bike, then at Chu Luo, and finally at himself. “I’ll definitely be laughed at by others if I’m carried by you.”
“If you don’t look at other people, how will you know that others are laughing at you?”
“Pfft…” The boy, who was about to ride his bike away, finally couldn’t hold back his laughter. Seeing the two of them look over at the same time, he asked, “Little girl, do you want to ride a bike alone?”
Chu Luo looked at this gentle and handsome boy who looked like a good person and nodded at him.
The boy thought for a moment and asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“We’re going to the History and Engineering Colleges,” replied Wang Mingtao.
“What a coincidence.” The boy’s smile deepened. “I’m going to the College of Engineering too. How about this? I’ll help you scan a bicycle. Let’s go together.”
After the boy finished speaking, he took out another card from his pocket and scanned it beside a bike.
“You actually have two campus cards!” Wang Mingtao was shocked.
The boy laughed. He put away his card and said, “Coincidentally, I have my roommate’s card with me.”
Chu Luo pushed the bicycle out as the two of them were talking.
Wang Mingtao and the boy got onto their bicycles and looked at her.
Chu Luo followed suit and got onto her bicycle.
But the two boys were obviously waiting for her to ride first so they could follow after her.
Chu Luo didn’t move, and so they didn’t either.
Chu Luo glanced at the two of them and said seriously, “You guys go first.”
She wanted to see how they rode their bikes so she could imitate them.
Wang Mingtao was a macho person to begin with. After Chu Luo said that, he immediately stepped on the pedal and rode away.
Chu Luo began to understand how to ride. She imitated him and was about to place her foot on the pedal.
However, before the bike could move, it fell to the side.
The boy who had been waiting for her was startled and quickly threw his bike aside to support her bike.
Chu Luo wouldn’t let herself fall. Seeing that the bike was about to fall, she jumped away.
The boy caught her bike.
Then he looked at her in surprise. “You’re really good at jumping.”
Chu Luo was about to smile smugly when the boy suddenly asked, “Don’t you know how to ride a bike?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips into a straight line. After a few seconds, she said in the manner of a tsundere, “Who said I don’t know how to?”
There was nothing she couldn’t do!
After saying that, Chu Luo walked over to take the bike from him and got on it to continue riding.
The boy felt that Chu Luo’s tsundere look was adorable. He quickly grabbed the back of her bike and said with a smile, “Wait, let me tell you about the technique of riding a bike.
“To ride a bike, you have to grasp the balance of your body. Blah blah blah…”
The boy talked for a while and suddenly realized that he was comparing the bicycle to playing games. The little girl in front of him definitely wouldn’t understand, so he prepared to explain in a different way.
Chu Luo nodded at him. “Okay, got it.”
After saying that, she stepped on the pedal and rode the bicycle out. The balance and speed were extremely stable.
The boy: “…”
Chu Luo quickly caught up to Wang Mingtao. Wang Mingtao asked in surprise, “Sister Chu, why are you here only now?”
After saying that, she looked behind and saw the boy following her. She quickly asked with a smile, “Senior, may I know your name and what major you’re studying?”
“Senior?” After the boy rode the bike over, he looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, “Are you students from Imperial University?”
Chu Luo said confidently, “Not yet, but soon.”
Wang Mingtao nodded. “That’s right. We just need to get the college entrance examination admission slip.”
The boy looked at the two confident kids and said with a smile, “Then as your senior, I’m welcoming you to Imperial University.”
Then, he introduced himself to the two of them. “My name is Tang Zhiyun. I’m a fourth-year student in the electronics and computer science department at the College of Engineering.”
When Wang Mingtao heard this, he immediately revealed a look of admiration. “So you study computer science, Senior. My dream is also to study computer science. When I get into Imperial University, I’ll be your direct juniors, hehe.”
Chu Luo really couldn’t bear to see Wang Mingtao’s silly look, so she said to the two of them, “Let’s ride faster to save time.”
“Okay.”
The three of them immediately sped up.
The bike ride took about 15 minutes before they reached the gate of the College of Engineering.
The three of them parked the bike at the shared bike stop and walked in.
It was class time and there weren’t many people along the way.
With Tang Zhiyun, an authentic university student, around, Wang Mingtao could take a back seat.
Chu Luo had just asked a few questions when Tang Zhiyun’s phone rang. He quickly took it out.
No one knew what the other party said, but they heard him say, “Really? I’ll be right there. Help me take a seat first.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and said to Chu Luo and the others, “Sorry, I’m going to attend a very important public lecture. You guys can stroll around first.”
He then gave them his phone number. “Call me if you still haven’t left in two hours. I have nothing to do afterward, so I can show you around.”
Chu Luo quickly took down his number.
Wang Mingtao nodded vigorously at him. Just as he was thinking about which famous places to bring Chu Luo to, he heard Chu Luo say first, “Can we follow you to attend the public lecture?”
Wang Mingtao quickly looked at Chu Luo and winked at her.
Chu Luo pretended not to see it and looked at Tang Zhiyun expectantly.
Tang Zhiyun was immediately defeated by Chu Luo’s expressive eyes. “Alright, but I am going to a public lecture for graduating students. You might not understand.”
“It’s fine. We’ll just go and listen.”
Since Chu Luo had said so, Tang Zhiyun didn’t say anything else and took them to the public lecture.
The public lecture was held in a large multimedia classroom, the sort with a capacity for more than a hundred. There were already a lot of people there.
The students who came to listen to the lecture were all fourth-year students. When Tang Zhiyun brought Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao in, the originally noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard. “Pfft, some people really think this is a kindergarten. To think they brought two children to fool around during such an important public lecture.”
