Chapter 113: Stop Being a Jinx!

Since the ancestor had already taken it apart, she considered it as having bought it from him.
With this thought, Ye Luo took out her phone, roughly estimated the price of the chocolates, and then transferred the money to Gong Lü, adding a note to specify it was payment for the chocolates.
At eight that evening, Gong Lü, who was abroad, sent a message, still sounding rather helpless: “Luo Luo, we just can’t keep accounts between us…”
Ye Luo didn’t reply.
If he didn’t tell her everything, she would never understand why he knew her so well, so of course, it couldn’t be calculated clearly.
What she could do now was to settle accounts with him as clearly as possible, based on what she knew.
Setting her phone aside, Ye Luo planned to continue working on her computer, helping others translate. She had taken many orders that night.
Because her translations were fast and accurate enough to need no proofreading, customers were willing to wait several hours in line just to have her do the work.
Her gaze drifted toward the box of chocolates placed nearby. Since the money had been paid, the chocolates were now hers. Without hesitation, Ye Luo picked up the box and opened it.
As soon as the box opened, she saw that there were indeed ten pieces of chocolate inside.
The chocolates were arranged in two rows: five on the top row and five on the bottom row, perfectly symmetrical in shape.
The shapes read in order: ‘Y’ ‘E’ ‘L’ ‘U’ ‘O’.
Just as Qin Zhaowen had said, they were the letters of her name.

The chocolates were neither too big nor too small, just the right size for one bite.
Picking up the ‘Y’-shaped chocolate, Ye Luo popped it into her mouth. The rich bitterness instantly stimulated her taste buds, causing her to barely furrow her brow.
But as she continued eating, she noticed that within the strong bitterness, there was a hint of sweetness.
Ye Luo froze in place, expressionless.
This was her favorite flavor.
In that world three hundred years later, this was the taste she loved most.
Since he knew her inside out, it was only natural that he would know her favorite flavor and specially order chocolates in that flavor for her. She wasn’t surprised.
It was just that…
The corner of Ye Luo’s mouth twitched slightly.
If he knew this was her favorite flavor, did he also know why she liked it the most?
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, although Gong Lü was abroad and hadn’t appeared before her, because Ye Wuqi and the others kept mentioning Gong Lü in front of her, Ye Luo felt as if Gong Lü had never left her side at all.

Today was Saturday, also the day of the first monthly exam for the senior third grade at No. 7 High School.
As soon as Ye Luo entered the school gates, Ye Wuqi and the others ran up to her excitedly, saying, “Sister Luo, Sister Luo, President Gong said he’ll be back in two days!”
Ye Luo had grown used to them always updating her about Gong Lü in recent days.
She didn’t have any idols; actually, she didn’t know how powerful idols could be. But seeing how these people acted like they’d been injected with adrenaline every day, constantly scheming to bring her and Gong Lü together, she had come to understand just how great the power of an idol could be.
After mentioning Gong Lü, Ye Wuqi asked, “Sister Luo, which exam room were you assigned to?”
The monthly exams at No. 7 High School were conducted just like the college entrance exams. The exams lasted two days, and all senior third-grade students were shuffled and assigned to different exam rooms.
Ye Luo said, “Science Room 1.”
“Damn! You’re not really going to get first place, are you?” Yan Baba stared wide-eyed.
Ye Wuqi immediately cursed angrily, “Stop being a jinx!”
