Chapter 806 - 805: Cao Ge
Shu Lulu was originally chattering and laughing, but suddenly she stopped, the smile on her face became a bit unnatural, and she lowered her head, moved closer towards Chu Ge, and quickened her pace.Noticing Shu Lulu's change in expression, Chu Ge glanced sideways and saw a tall boy in a sports vest and shorts running on a treadmill with a somewhat grim expression.
Chu Ge shifted his gaze back and smiled at Shu Lulu, "Do you know that guy? Why do you look so scared upon seeing him?"
Shu Lulu nodded, speaking softly, "Yeah, don't ask anything yet, let's keep a distance from him, block me a bit, don't let him see me, let's go upstairs."
Chu Ge smiled, didn't say much, shielded Shu Lulu with his body, and went up to the second floor with her.
"Phew… so annoying, why did I bump into him?"
As they reached the last step of the second floor, Shu Lulu sighed in relief and muttered in frustration.
"Who is that kid? Can he really scare our fearless Shu Lulu like this?" Chu Ge asked with a smile, leisurely walking to a weightlifting bench, stretching his body slightly before starting to train.
"Who says I'm fearless? There are plenty of things I'm afraid of." Shu Lulu sighed helplessly, "When I was on the phone, didn't I mention someone asked me out? It was him, and I made an excuse saying I had things to do at home today, and ended up bumping into him here."
Chu Ge did a lifting motion with his hands, laughed, "Our Lulu's charm is big enough, tricking people like that. It's like walking by the river often, where can you not get your shoes wet."
"You pesky old man, you're laughing, but isn't it because I came out to see you? How can you be so heartless?" Shu Lulu rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, shook her head anxiously, "Sigh, I wonder if he saw me? Probably… not, right?"
Chu Ge looked at Shu Lulu amusedly, "Well, if he saw you, he saw you, what's the big deal? Can he eat you up?"
"It's easy for you to say, sigh… he can't eat me, but if he wants to cause trouble for me, that's really easy."
"Hmm?"
"He's from the discipline department of our student council and the son of our department director. How dare I offend him? You have no idea, just for the sake of his father's face, even our tutor has to be polite to him."
Chu Ge still smiled indifferently, "I think that guy looks pretty good. If he's interested in you, why not consider it? In the future, you'll have someone to back you up in school, you could even get into the student council and make some gains, and I'm sure your teachers won't dare to fail you. Where else would you find such a beneficial opportunity?"
"You pesky old man, what nonsense are you spouting? If I cared about these things, wouldn't I have been with Liu Weijiang back in high school? You're just so annoying!"
Seeing Shu Lulu genuinely angry, Chu Ge stopped teasing her and changed the topic, which gradually eased Shu Lulu's expression.
In truth, Chu Ge really hoped Shu Lulu would find a boy her age who was good to her to date. Even though there was nothing between him and Luo Suyun, there was still a bit of uncertainty, and he didn't want Shu Lulu to have any weird thoughts about him.
While continuing his workout, Chu Ge chatted casually with Shu Lulu. However, Shu Lulu didn't seem as happy as when she first met Chu Ge, appearing somewhat distracted, her eyes occasionally glancing at the stairwell, clearly worried that the department director's son would suddenly come upstairs.
"Uncle, how about… you go check if Cao Ge has left? I'm just not feeling at ease, I heard he's a particularly petty person, and several people in school have dropped out because they offended him."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge immediately laughed, "Really? He's so self-assertive at school, does his dad know?"
"I heard it from Senior Ye Li, she's in the same year as Cao Ge. Honestly, I haven't had much interaction with him either. During orientation, he asked for my number, and I didn't have the heart to refuse, and then he started contacting me every now and then."
Since it was something Ye Li mentioned, Chu Ge didn't doubt it. His hope for Shu Lulu to find a good boyfriend was sincere, but he certainly didn't want her tangled with such a person.
"Alright, I'll go check for you. If he isn't in the first-floor lobby now, we can leave. Uncle will take you shopping, buy you some clothes. If he bothers you again, just call me. What's the big deal with a department director's son? If his dad can't control him, I'll manage him for his dad, he's just spoiled."
Saying this, Chu Ge got off the weight bench, but before he could straighten up, Shu Lulu grabbed his hand again, swaying with a giggle, "Uncle, you're so good! But you don't need to get involved, I can handle it."
Chu Ge looked at Shu Lulu's hand, scratched his head speechlessly, "You're such a kid, hurry up and let go, do I have to teach you a lesson for you to remember?"
Still holding Chu Ge's hand, Shu Lulu laughed, "Hehe, you're just scaring me, you care too much about me to really teach me a lesson! After all, I'm your mistress."
Chu Ge rolled his eyes, he really had no way to deal with this kind of Shu Lulu.
Shu Lulu was acting all cute with Chu Ge when suddenly, a man's voice came from behind them, "Eh? Isn't this Shu Lulu? What a coincidence."
Upon hearing this voice, Shu Lulu's body gave a slight tremor, and her radiant smile froze. Not only did she let go of Chu Ge's hand, but she also turned around with some stiffness, seeing Cao Ge, who had just been on the treadmill on the first floor.
"Ah, hehe, what a coincidence."
Facing Cao Ge's seemingly calm face, Shu Lulu forced a smile, her heart uneasy. Even with Chu Ge by her side, she didn't feel confident; no matter how awesome Chu Ge was, he couldn't possibly get involved in their university matters, right?
"Eh? Shu Lulu, if I recall correctly, didn't you say you had something at home today? How come you have time to work out here?"
Cao Ge smiled casually, but his gaze and tone clearly had a hint of questioning, with a smile that seemed fake, a perfect example of a hidden agenda.
After Cao Ge spoke, he glanced at Chu Ge, "Shu Lulu, who's this... aren't you going to introduce us?"
Chu Ge curled his lips in a more mischievous manner than Cao Ge's, just about to speak when Shu Lulu interrupted, "Ah, this is my brother."
Shu Lulu turned her gaze to Chu Ge, "Brother, this is my senior..."
Before Shu Lulu could finish, Cao Ge suddenly let out a sneer, raising his hand to touch his nose, "Shu Lulu, you and your brother are so close, I'm really envious..."
Cao Ge's sneer was laden with obvious undertones, as if saying, "Are you kidding? You and your brother are this intimate?"
Shu Lulu looked embarrassed, opened her mouth wanting to say something, but was left speechless.
Chu Ge glanced sideways at Cao Ge, then suddenly reached out his large hand to hold Shu Lulu's small hand, "Why bother with this guy, let's go."
Though a bit helpless, Chu Ge figured that since this guy already saw Shu Lulu being so clingy with him, he might as well play the role of Shu Lulu's boyfriend, dismissing this annoying and sarcastic pestering fly for her.
Shu Lulu was startled, looking somewhat flustered and confused at Chu Ge's impatient face, "Uncle…"
The word "Uncle" slipped out of Shu Lulu's mouth instinctively, but just as she realized the awkwardness, Cao Ge chuckled sarcastically.
"Shu Lulu, is this your brother or your uncle? The relationships in your family are really complicated... But given this situation, he seems more like your boyfriend?"
Chu Ge's expression grew more impatient, pulling Shu Lulu by the hand as he stepped forward, facing Cao Ge who was about his height, raising an eyebrow, "What I am to Lulu is none of your business, why so much nonsense?"
Cao Ge squinted, locking eyes with Chu Ge for a few seconds before turning his gaze back to Shu Lulu.
"Ha, Shu Lulu, so he really is your boyfriend? I remember you also have a husband? Some guy called 'Old Waist Stretch', right? Your private life seems quite lively?"
Shu Lulu froze, completely caught off guard by Cao Ge's sudden comment. She wasn't worried about Chu Ge being provoked by this, after all, Chu Ge was 'Old Waist Stretch'. She was just utterly bewildered as to how Cao Ge knew about the name 'Old Waist Stretch'?
Could it be... this guy also plays that game? How come she never knew about this?
Seeing Shu Lulu's expression pause, Cao Ge thought she was feeling guilty, and his face became even more sinisterly triumphant, casting his gaze to Chu Ge again, "Buddy, just a friendly reminder, before she ends up with more sugar daddies and uncles, and you're still kept in the dark."
As Cao Ge's voice grew increasingly sarcastic, Chu Ge couldn't help but frown secretly, feeling extremely fed up.
He could totally gauge Cao Ge's mindset at this moment, merely seeing the girl he fancied with another man made him extremely displeased, so he intended to denigrate the girl as much as possible, throwing mud at her.
When Chu Ge first saw this Cao Ge upon entering the gym, he actually had a fairly decent impression of him, but talking like this was honestly quite disappointing. The rumors Shu Lulu heard were true; this guy was really petty, wasn't he?
Clearly, this kid was just toying with Shu Lulu, if he truly liked her from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn't behave so shitty and say such crappy things.
Facing Cao Ge's mocking and provocative gaze, Chu Ge suddenly smirked, "Hehe, sorry, I'm 'Old Waist Stretch', from your tone of voice, are you that day's 'Lonely Shadow Flowing'? "
