Chapter 132: Do Not Break Formation!

"Alright, alright," Ye Wuqi soothed Yan Baba, "we don't have that much money, so let's scale down the celebration. We'll still use red banners, but instead of horizontal ones, we'll do vertical ones. We can hang several from the roof of each teaching building so everyone can see clearly that Sister Luo ranked first in the grade with a perfect score of 750!"

Lei Xingxing chimed in, "After such a huge scene, the whole school already knows Sister Luo is a true academic genius. Wouldn't doing that be pointless now?"

"Then we won't do it," Ye Wuqi replied quite readily. Immediately, he hopped around happily like a rabbit, adding, "That saves us dozens of dollars!"

With that, Ye Wuqi stopped walking and began hopping like a rabbit all the way to the classroom, happily chanting, "That saves us dozens of dollars."

Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing reacted quickly, lining up behind Ye Wuqi and hopping along just like him, happily chanting, "That saves us dozens of dollars."

The petite Qian Xiaoxing, unable to match their stride, followed along with smaller hops, laughing, "That saves us dozens of dollars."

The scene was quite something—three crazy bunnies in the lead, followed by a smaller bunny...

Ye Luo: "..."

The four 'bunnies' hopped forward for a while before stopping in unison. They looked back and, seeing she really hadn't followed suit, shouted at her, "Sister Luo, pay attention to the formation! Don't break the formation!"

Ye Luo: "..."

Presumably knowing she wouldn't cooperate, the four 'bunnies' continued hopping forward one by one after shouting, without looking back again to tell her not to break the formation.

Miraculously, the four 'bunnies' stayed in a line, maintaining perfect spacing between them. They must have done this quite often.

Ye Luo didn't speak; she only looked up at the sky.

"Heh."

Suddenly, a familiar low chuckle reached her ears. Ye Luo instinctively spun around to look toward the source of the sound, but she saw no one.

Did I mishear?

Ye Luo frowned. Catching a glimpse of Ye Wuqi and the others hopping into the teaching building, she stopped looking, withdrew her gaze, and walked quickly into the building herself to attend class.

...

In the afternoon, the last period was a foreign language class. Because the teacher had something to attend to, they were left for self-study.

But less than five minutes into the session, Jiang Dabao sent a text message asking Ye Luo to come to his office.

Ye Luo went.

Jiang Dabao tried to have a heart-to-heart with her, asking why she hadn't been taking exams seriously, leading everyone to mistake her for a poor student. Since she wouldn't answer, there was nothing he could do, and he eventually let her return to class.

Upon returning to the classroom, Ye Luo found that Ye Wuqi and the others were gone. Only a man was lounging at her seat. He was tall and long-limbed, dressed in a white shirt, with an enchanting appearance and a devilishly charming aura. Seeing her enter, he let out a low chuckle.

Who else could it be but Gong Lü!

Ye Luo walked over, her expression blank.

Gong Lü lifted his body slightly but remained seated on her chair, still lounging against her desk. Seeing her reach him, he picked up the phone he had placed to the side and dialed a number.

A few seconds later, the phone in Ye Luo's pocket began to vibrate. Seeing Gong Lü smiling at her, she didn't need to think twice to know it was him calling.

She didn't take out her phone to answer.

Gong Lü wasn't annoyed by her silence. He held the phone to his ear, continued calling her, and asked with a low chuckle while looking at her, "Why won't you ever answer my calls?"

In the days he had been away on business, she hadn't answered a single one.

Seemingly not expecting an answer, he continued to chuckle softly, "Luoluo, let's make a deal. You promise to answer my calls from now on, and I'll tell you where your grandmother is. How about that?"
