Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

Page 194

After saying goodbye to Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo returned to dormitory 304. Chu Zihang silently cut the salmon into two plates, one of which was wrapped in plastic wrap.

"Hey, you're not thinking of packing one up to take home and eat it yourself, are you?" Nono stared at the plate wrapped in plastic wrap.

Susie was washing fruit nearby. She said, "It's for Gu Ran."

"I invited him to the party, and not only did he not come, but he also ate and took things for free," Nono said, somewhat disgruntled. "When is he going to come and collect them? I have to give him a piece of my mind."

Susie said, "I'll bring the pizza to him after it's baked."

"Damn, I still have to have my sister deliver takeout." Nono went over and hugged Susie's waist, pouting, "I won't let you leave."

Susie patted her fair arm: "Stop fooling around, your injuries haven't healed yet."

"Could you also take the borscht to him later?" Caesar then took out a sealed glass lunchbox and scooped out a bowl of borscht he had prepared.

“Sure,” Susie said with a smile.

"I'll go deliver it." Chu Zihang then saw that the people who came to the party were arriving one after another, most of them were students from the student council.

Nono glanced at her best friend and gave her timely encouragement: "Why don't you two go together and take more things with you?"

At this point, she transformed back into a generous hostess, no longer displaying her previous stingy demeanor.

So, when the pizzas were ready, Chu Zihang and Susie brought various foods to Norton's restaurant.

The woman who opened the door was Lee Eun-sook, a South Korean girl. She wore black-rimmed glasses and her hair was simply tied up with a pencil.

"President, Vice President, what brings you here?" Lee Eun-sook asked, blinking her bright, lively eyes.

"I've brought you some food," Susie said.

Lee Eun-sook welcomed the two in.

Norton Hall was large and empty, with only two people there. Lee Eun-sook had set up a desk in the lobby on the first floor, where she usually read and studied.

Gu Ran secluded himself in his study on the second floor, instructing Li Enshu not to receive guests and not to disturb him, so Su Qian and Chu Zihang did not see him.

Lee Eun-sook is a competent secretary. Although she has also joined the Lionheart Society, she doesn't usually do Lionheart Society tasks and basically only serves Gu Ran.

"I heard he's been arguing with his girlfriend lately," Chu Zihang suddenly asked. "Have they made up yet?"

Li Enshu glanced at Chu Zihang's indifferent face several times, but dared not look into his golden eyes.

She lowered her head and whispered, "President, you're quite the gossip..."

Chu Zihang said, "I was just asking casually. You don't have to say if it's inconvenient."

Susie, who was standing to the side, suppressed a laugh and asked Lee Eun-sook, "I'm also very curious about how they are doing."

As everyone has seen in the news about Fingel, several female classmates asked Susie a lot of questions in order to pursue Gu Ran, because she had gone on a mission with him in Siam before.

Lee Eun-sook secretly took a bite of salmon slice and said, "Oppa said they didn't quarrel, they just needed some time to calm down. In Chinese terms, absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Chu Zihang and Su Xi are both single and don't really understand the issues between couples.

“I’m going to deliver food to Oppa. It’s lunchtime now, so maybe I’ll have time to eat with everyone.” With that, Lee Eun-sook took a plate of salmon and went up to knock on the door.

Gu Ran was also hungry at this time, so he ended his cultivation and invited Chu Zihang and Su Qian to eat in the study.

The three of them went into the study, where the oval desk was filled with all kinds of books.

"Don't touch those books, let's use this table." Gu Ran pointed to a square table not far away.

Chu Zihang and Su Xi glanced at the books Gu Ran was reading and noticed that they were all about alchemy.

"Are you researching alchemy?" Chu Zihang asked, staring at the cover of a book.

“Yes, if I could turn silver into gold, I would have more money than I could ever spend in my life,” Gu Ran said with a smile.

Turning silver into gold is a very basic ability in alchemy, but it requires exceptional alchemical talent to achieve.

There are very few people with this kind of talent at Kassel College.

Chu Zihang and Su Xi were both top students and were very interested in the topic of alchemy, so they started chatting with Gu Ran.

Lee Eun-sook, a poor student, couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only work as a waitress, serving tea and water to her older brothers and sisters.

Then she looked at Gu Ran oppa with an adoring expression. He's so awesome!

……

Four days later was Gu Ran's nineteenth birthday. He hadn't planned to celebrate in a big way; he just intended to get a piece of birthday cake from the cafeteria and eat it casually.

However, because he always gives small gifts to his classmates, they also prepared birthday gifts for him and sent him their blessings during class today.

Lu Mingfei, who is usually very stingy, maxed out his credit card to give his brother a luxury brand wallet. His wallets are usually cheap, ten-yuan items from street vendors. He is now very generous in giving his brother gifts.

Chu Zihang gave him the newly released iPad. The first-generation iPad didn't have any particularly outstanding features, but it was still the latest digital product at the time.

Caesar had received quite a few small gifts from Gu Ran, so this time he prepared a generous gift, a Lange gold watch, which looked very rich and flashy on his wrist.

Li Enshu knitted him a red scarf by hand. The temperature in the Great Lakes was still a bit cold, so the scarf was still useful. However, the girl's handiwork was so-so, and the stitches were not very good. Gu Ran did not mind and wore it that day.

Nuonuo received a longevity peach bun from Gu Ran for his birthday before, so this time I made him longevity noodles. The noodles were very, very long, more than ten meters long, and he was stuffed after eating them for lunch.

Susie gave him a handmade kiln-fired mug, large capacity and with a lid, and told him to drink more water while studying.

Even his mentor knew his birthday. Guderian gave him an old-fashioned Parker pen as a small token of his appreciation, hoping that Gu Ran would study hard and make progress every day, and also help Lu Mingfei, who was always failing his courses.

Chapter 226 Senior Brother Chu, you're really a gossip!

Professor Manstein, who was in charge of discipline, also gave Gu Ran a designer leather jacket as a birthday gift.

Well, he actually felt that his action of stabbing the leather jacket with a safety pin last time was a bit stupid, so he sent one back as an apology.

Principal Angers didn't send a gift, but he did send a birthday greeting via text message, which was his way of showing his appreciation.

Members of the Lionheart Society also presented small gifts.

Gu Ran hadn't originally planned a big birthday celebration, but seeing how enthusiastic his classmates were, he didn't hold back and brought out all his best-kept hot pot base to treat everyone to hot pot.

He set up a banquet on the lawn in the Norton House courtyard and ordered a batch of fresh ingredients from outside. At the same time, a barbecue grill was set up next to each hot pot table, so that hot pot and barbecue could be enjoyed at the same time.

Fingel, the only one who didn't bring a gift, came over with a blessing to freeload, which drew scorn from his classmates, but Fingel, thick-skinned as ever, didn't care.

Gu Ran stepped in to defuse the situation and told everyone not to criticize Fingel.

The usually quiet Norton Hall suddenly became noisy, and soon the lawn and hall were full of people.

We drank together, ate meat together, sang together, and danced together.

The birthday party was very lively.

Many senior female students who had always had designs on Gu Ran were eyeing him covetously, openly stating that they could help the nineteen-year-old man mature quickly.

Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated, and politely declined each offer.

The party didn't end until 2 a.m.

After the commotion subsided, the huge Norton Hall returned to its usual quiet state. On the first floor, the school staff were helping to clean up the trash left behind after the party, while Lee Eun-sook directed the cleanup from below.

Gu Ran jumped to the highest point of the Norton Pavilion, lay on the roof with his phone in hand, and stared blankly at the night sky.

There is a time difference between the Eastern superpower and the United States, so Gu Ran's birthday actually passed yesterday.

My aunt Zhang Wanjun sent a red envelope containing 88,000 yuan early yesterday morning, and the goddess Nuwa from Shanghai also sent birthday wishes.

Even Liu Miaomiao sent him a happy birthday message.

But the blessing he most longed for never came.

On the lawn beside the Norton Pavilion, Nono, Susie, Lu Mingfei, and Finger were hiding to the side, watching Gu Ran looking melancholy on the roof.

Nuonuo's talent for profiling had already made her realize during the banquet that Gu Ran's smile was fake and that she was actually quite disappointed.

He behaved so well that few people noticed his forced smile; only a few close to him noticed it.

"Not even a birthday greeting, is this a sign of a breakup?" Nono asked, a mix of curiosity and gossip.

Fingel, holding a glass of cola, said, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Miss Nono. Call your boyfriend's White Silk Ballet Troupe over and let the junior performers entertain us."

"With so many women throwing themselves at him lately, if he really wanted to add to the fun, he wouldn't need outside help," Nuonuo thought for a moment and said, "A mental illness needs a mental cure."

She grabbed Lu Mingfei's neck and said, "You, call his girlfriend and ask what's going on. If you want to break up, just do it cleanly. Don't drag it out. There are plenty of guys at school waiting for your brother to patronize them!"

Feeling Nuonuo's domineering nature and soft body, Lu Mingfei's mind wandered, and after a while he finally said, "I...I called and asked..."

"What did she say?" Nono asked, and the others also looked curious.

She said, "Single people have never even been in a relationship, so they shouldn't meddle in other people's business..."

Susie, who hadn't said a word, felt offended...

Fingel retorted, "Back in my school days, I had a whole harem of wives and concubines..."

"Alright, senior F from the eighth grade, we're not interested in your romantic history." Nono interrupted Fingel's reminiscence.

Lu Mingfei said with a wry smile, "I even asked Liu Miaomiao to act as a middleman, but Liu Miaomiao also said she didn't know what was going on between the two of them, except that Su Xiaoqiang has been quite busy lately."

"What are you busy with?" Nono asked.

Lu Mingfei said, "She's busy smiling and crying... she sometimes cries and sometimes laughs, she's a bit neurotic..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Nuonuo.

Nono stared at him for a while, then suddenly realized what he meant and pinched his ear: "Are you trying to say that I'm neurotic too?"

"No, you're crazy."

"Lu Mingfei, you're finished!" Nuonuo started using a chokehold on Lu Mingfei, almost dislocating his hand.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lu Mingfei cried out in a mix of pain and joy as he playfully wrestled with Nuonuo.

"Sigh!" A sigh came from behind the four of them.

Everyone turned around and discovered that it was Lee Eun-sook.

Lee Eun-sook said, "I called my brother and sister-in-law, and they said that Oppa brought this on himself and that he should be taught a lesson he will never forget."

Hearing what Lee Eun-sook said, no one dared to interrupt.

"Otherwise... let's post some intimate photos of Gu Ran with other people to provoke her!" Fingel suggested a terrible idea. "Women are always jealous..."

"Gu Ran is very self-disciplined and keeps his distance from girls." Susie rolled her eyes at Fingel, annoyed. "Unlike you, who's so omnivorous..."

“Hey, that’s going too far… But…” Fingel suddenly grinned slyly, “I have some ambiguous photos of Gu Ran and Ling here.”
