Chapter 143: So Angry He Lost His Temper

"You know what you're doing," Ye Luo said coldly.

Although she couldn't see through him, she could tell that he was a meticulous person who wouldn't just casually ask her something so directly.

Since he was asking if it was her, he must have already found his answer.

Gong Lü just chuckled softly.

Then Ye Luo hung up the phone.

Gong Lü did not call back. Presumably, he had nothing more to say and accepted that she had simply hung up on him.

Ye Luo went back to browsing the internet.

She had answered his call, but she didn't regret refusing to make a deal with him yesterday.

As long as she stayed by the Old Ancestor's side, she would learn about the Old Ancestor's matters sooner or later.

Besides, he was an unfathomable person whom she couldn't read at all, and she deeply disliked him. No matter what, she had no desire to strike a deal with him, lest she accidentally fall into one of his traps.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

The bell for the second class rang, so Ye Luo gave the stool in front of her a kick.

Presumably, the Old Ancestor was fast asleep, as her kick failed to wake him up.

Therefore, she kicked a bit harder.

The Old Ancestor still didn't wake up.

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Luo picked up her pen and poked the head of the person sleeping beneath a hooded jacket in front of her with the blunt end.

***

The Old Ancestor finally woke up. Irritated, he got up, turned around angrily to glare at her, and huffed and puffed, thoroughly enraged.

Ye Luo remained expressionless.

Ye Wuqi laughed out of sheer anger. Instead of arguing with Ye Luo, he picked up the math and foreign language review notes Ye Luo had organized and tossed one booklet each to Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu.

He even laughed loudly and said, "There's no way I'm going to suffer alone!"

It was clear he intended to drag Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu down with him to "study hard."

"No, Brother Qi..." Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu almost wept tears of despair.

Seeing that crying to Ye Wuqi was useless, Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu turned to glare fiercely at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo still remained expressionless.

Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu also laughed out of exasperation.

Resigned to their fate, the three of them began to study diligently.

And then, all three of them grew drowsy.

Ignoring Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu, Ye Luo focused entirely on Ye Wuqi. Although she couldn't see his face from behind, the moment she sensed something amiss with him, she would poke him with the end of her pen.

The poke instantly snapped Ye Wuqi back to wakefulness.

As soon as Ye Wuqi woke up, he used his feet—kicking Yan Baba's stool with one and shoving Qin Zhaoyu's desk with the other—which promptly woke Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu up as well...

This cycle repeated multiple times...

After being poked awake by Ye Luo yet again, Ye Wuqi was too exasperated to even be angry anymore.

***

He was simultaneously exasperated and amused.

He reached into his desk drawer, tore open a bag of lollipops, unwrapped one for himself to shove into his mouth, and tossed a few others to Yan Baba and Qin Zhaoyu. He told them to suck on lollipops while they read, hoping it would keep them from getting sleepy so fast.

Sure enough, it worked quite well.

Yet, it didn't even last five minutes before he was nodding off like a pecking chick again, a lollipop still stuck in his mouth...

Seeing her Old Ancestor nodding off with a piece of candy in his mouth, Ye Luo thought, "..."

Slowly but surely, she supposed.

This was only the beginning.

Ye Luo could only comfort herself with this thought.

At noon.

As soon as they finished lunch in the cafeteria, Ye Wuqi planned to head to the internet café to surf the web for an hour. But seeing Ye Luo's darkened expression, he had no choice but to grab Yan Baba with one hand and drag Qin Zhaoyu with the other, heading back to the classroom to listen to Ye Luo explain problems to him.

When Ye Luo explained problems, she started from the very basics. Her explanations were lucid, easy to understand, concise, and devoid of any fluff. Lei Xingxing and Qian Xiaoxing listened happily, feeling like they were actually learning something.

Only Ye Wuqi, Yan Baba, and Qin Zhaoyu listened as if to a lullaby, drifting off to dreamland shortly before being rudely awakened once again.
