Chapter 293 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (27)
The professor in charge of Yan Luo’s experiment was a female teacher. She had just been in another room of the lab, organizing some materials.
When she first got the call from a student, she didn’t think much of it. After all, in a place like this, what serious trouble could possibly happen?
But the moment she stepped out of the lab building, she was met with this scene.
Water droplets slid continuously down Yan Luo’s hair, falling to the ground and leaving faint traces in the sunlight.
Yan Luo’s complexion was truly alarming, not to mention the fact that he was surrounded by several tall and muscular male students.
The professor’s expression changed instantly. Without waiting for any explanations, she took out her phone and directly called the academic affairs office.
“Hello, academic affairs? … Building Five of the lab complex—someone just laid hands on my student.”
Yan Yuqi’s wrist was gripped so tightly that she couldn’t move. She instinctively tried to struggle but froze upon hearing the professor’s phone call.
“What are you talking about? I was just—”
Before she could finish, Yan Luo abruptly let go. Due to inertia, she stumbled backward a few steps. Looking at the figure before her, an inexplicable unease rose in her heart.
Yan Luo’s lab coat was soaked through, clinging to her body. She casually brushed away the droplets from her eyes and lowered her gaze to inspect her clothes.
Fortunately, the oversized lab coat concealed most of the wetness, leaving nothing too noticeable. Only then did she let out a cold scoff, raising her head.
“A model student? Pretending for you guys?”
A few water droplets still clung to the ends of her hair. Her delicate features, now carrying a different expression, transformed in Yan Yuqi’s eyes from that of a celestial being into something far more terrifying, like an avenging demon.
Yan Luo’s voice was soft, unhurried, full of scorn and indifference, sending chills down one’s spine.
“You lot… are even worthy?”
No one could utter a single word.
At this point, the professor had already stepped in front of Yan Luo, placing herself between Yan Luo and the others. She patted Yan Luo’s shoulder with a slight frown.
“Do you want to go change?”
“I’m fine, Professor. I live nearby. I’ll change when I get back.”
“Alright. But your face is looking pale, are you okay? Did they do anything else to you? Don’t worry, there are surveillance cameras at the entrance of the lab building. Causing trouble in a place like this? In all my years of teaching, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
The professor shot an annoyed glance at Yan Yuqi and her group. Her blatant disapproval stung.
Yan Yuqi felt utterly unbalanced.
It was as if their roles had completely reversed.
Yan Luo was supposed to be the delinquent who wasted her days smoking and drinking. If not for the Yan family, she wouldn’t even have gotten into this university…
But the surveillance footage told a different story, clearly and undeniably.
The moment Yan Luo stepped outside, before he even said anything, Yan Yuqi had doused him with an entire bottle of ice water. Only then did Yan Luo retaliate by grabbing Yan Yuqi’s wrist.
With things settled, Yan Yuqi and the others were taken to the academic affairs office, while the professor led Yan Luo away.
Yan Luo’s face was deathly pale, her lips were drained of color. The usually sharp and exquisite features of the ‘boy’ now carried a delicate fragility, evoking an almost maternal concern.
A trace of distress flickered in the professor’s eyes.
“Hurry back and change. Look at how pale you are—your cold just got better. Don’t fall sick again.”
Yan Luo nodded, but the pain in her lower abdomen had been growing more intense since earlier.
