Chapter 138: Dirty-faced Kitten Chu Luo

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan in surprise, her eyes sparkling. “You want to celebrate my birthday some more?”

“Mm.”

He then took off his suit jacket and put on his mask. He gestured to Chu Luo. “Get off.”

“You’re going to my place to celebrate my birthday?”

“Right.”

After the surprise just now, Chu Luo felt a sense of anticipation. She got out with Li Yan.

At this moment, there weren’t many people in the first-floor lobby other than the staff on night duty and a few guests.

When Chu Luo and Li Yan walked in, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Who is that? He’s wearing a mask?”

“Judging from his aura, I doubt he’s someone ordinary. Could he be someone terrifying?”

“I don’t think so. If that’s the case, why isn’t the beauty walking beside him afraid at all? Besides, that beauty isn’t wearing a mask?”

“Maybe that man is too ugly, or he’s too afraid to show his face because his face is injured.”

When a few guests paused to whisper about them, the lobby manager walked over and politely stopped Li Yan and Chu Luo.

“Esteemed guests, my apologies.”

The lobby manager was a brown-haired man in his early thirties. His gaze landed on Li Yan’s face with vigilance.

“You don’t seem to be a guest who’s staying in our hotel. For the safety of the other guests, the hotel has a rule that non-hotel staff who enter at night must register their identification.”

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan pursed his lips slightly, his emotions unreadable.

Before everyone’s gaze, he took out a card.

He said, “I only brought this.”

When the lobby manager saw this card, his expression changed instantly. He immediately lowered his head respectfully. “Sorry, esteemed guest, you don’t have to register. Please.”

Li Yan put away his card and gestured for Chu Luo to continue walking.

The discussion behind them became even louder.

After getting into the elevator, Chu Luo tilted her head and asked Li Yan curiously, “What card did you show that person just now?”

“The privilege card.”

Chu Luo was confused.

“I have shares in this hotel.”

“…”

Chu Luo actually had nothing to say.

When the elevator reached the floor where Chu Luo was staying, Li Yan took off his mask and the two of them headed to the door of her suite.

Li Yan stood at the side as Chu Luo opened the door.

The curtains in the living room were drawn, so the living room was pitch-black.

Chu Luo stood there and immediately felt that there was someone else in the room.

She sensed that it was Tang Zhiyun and the others inside.

She didn’t show it. She turned on the lights in the hall on the porch.

The moment the lights turned on…

Five voices called simultaneously, “Junior/Sister Chu, happy birthday!”

Then, Wang Mingtao gestured to her. “Sister Chu, turn off the lights first. Let’s light up the candles.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she immediately turned off the lights.

Several lighters sounded at the same time. Using a few flames, 18 birthday candles were lit on the ten-inch-long two-story cake.

Li Yan said to her in a low voice, “Go over.”

Chu Luo walked over with Li Yan.

She walked up to the cake.

The boys started to sing her a birthday song. Li Yan said to her, “Close your eyes and make a wish.”

In the Phoenix Skies Nation, her wish was for the country to be prosperous and for the people to be at peace. Here, her wish was…

Chu Luo was confused. “What wish?”

Li Yan opened his mouth but only said after two seconds, “What do you want the most?”

“I want…”

“You don’t have to say it.”

Chu Luo nodded, closed her eyes, and made a wish. “I hope that the king and the citizens of the Phoenix Skies Nation can still lead a peaceful life without me and elect a new High Priest as soon as possible.”

After making the wish, Chu Luo opened her eyes.

Tang Zhiyun and the others had just finished singing the birthday song.

“Blow out the candles.”

Chu Luo blew out the candles.

Tang Zhiyun walked over and turned on the lights in the hall.

Chu Luo looked at them with sparkling eyes and asked, “What else do I have to do?”

“Sister Chu, do what you did on your birthday in the past. Do it now.”

“I’ve never had a birthday like this before.”

As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, the five boys looked at her with heartache.

Chu Luo: “…”

She wasn’t pitiful. Previously, her teacher and elders had celebrated her birthday for her. It was also very lively.

The pitiful one was probably the original owner of this body. Her birthday and Chu Ting’s birthday were on the same day, and hers had always been celebrated in passing.

Li Yan’s voice came from beside her. “Cut the cake.”

Tang Zhiyun handed her the knife to cut the cake with.

Chu Luo took it and first gestured how to cut it. The fragrance of the cake made her swallow hard.

Wang Mingtao, who was beside her, said excitedly, “Sister Chu, let us get some cake on your face. This way, you can be happy every day for the next year.”

“Really?” asked Chu Luo. “How much cake do you have to put on my face?”

“Just a little bit.” After saying that, he extended his hand and said enthusiastically, “Give me the knife, I’ll do it.”

Chu Luo handed him the knife. Wang Mingtao took it and scooped up a bit of cream before placing it on a plate. He used his fingers to scoop up a bit of it and stuck it on her face.

Then, he gestured to the other boys excitedly. “Hurry up, it’s your turn.”

Tang Zhiyun and the others held back their laughter and looked at Chu Luo, who really believed him. Thinking that this was a rare opportunity, they also stuck some cake onto her face.

Soon, Chu Luo had cake all over her petite face.

She turned to look at Li Yan and asked him, “Are you going to do it too?”

Li Yan looked at her petite face and nodded. He reached out to scoop some cream onto her face, but as his finger approached her cheek, he suddenly changed directions and pressed it against her lips.

Chu Luo subconsciously licked the cream.

Li Yan’s gaze deepened.

“Pfft…”

“Hahahaha…”

The boys immediately laughed out loud at her gluttonous behavior. Wang Mingtao was laughing so hard that he rocked back and forth and almost fell. The other four people took out their phones and snapped pictures of her current appearance.

“The way Junior looks right now is enough to make me laugh for a year.”

“Junior looks like a dirty-faced kitten.”

“And a dirty-faced kitten who’d snuck in a treat at that.”

“Hahaha…”

Chu Luo finally realized that she had been tricked by them. She didn’t get angry. Her eyes darted around before she said with a smile, “I think I should stick some cake on your faces too. This way, I can share with you guys some of my happiness for the next year.”

After saying that, she scooped up a little cake from the plate and stuck it on Wang Mingtao’s face.

“Oww…” Wang Mingtao shouted. “Sister Chu, you’re too fast.”

The movement was so fast that he didn’t even have time to dodge.

“Was it fast?”

Chu Luo giggled and used her four fingers to scoop up some cream at the same time. She looked at the other four boys with sparkling eyes.

The four of them reacted quickly. They stepped to the side and retreated a few meters.

“Do you think you can escape?”

Chu Luo’s body flickered as she quickly attacked.

Before the four of them realized, their faces were covered with cake.

“Junior, you cheated!”

“Hehe, are you the only ones allowed to trick me? Am I not allowed to cheat?”

“Why didn’t you do it on your older brother’s face!”

“Exactly. You’re siblings. You should get more in your brother’s face.”

Chu Luo turned to look at Li Yan and grinned at him.

Li Yan looked at her with his deep eyes but didn’t move away.

Chu Luo used her fingers to scoop some cream from the plate and stuck it onto his handsome face.

When her fingertip approached, Li Yan subconsciously tilted his head back.

Chu Luo accidentally touched his throat.

Li Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He quickly put an arm around her waist and said in a low voice, “It’s done.”

After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe the cream off his throat.

Chu Luo watched him wipe the cream off his throat. Thinking that it must be delicious, she couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Li Yan’s gaze deepened.

He motioned to her. “Time to cut the cake.”

The boys who had run away heard this and walked over.

Chu Luo wiped the cream off her face with a tissue before starting to cut the cake.

After the five boys finished their cake, they said good night to the two of them and went to sleep.

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who didn’t eat his cake, and asked with a smile, “Is this what you meant when you said you haven’t finished celebrating my birthday for me?”

“Mm.” Li Yan looked at her and asked, “Do you like it?”

“I do.” Chu Luo nodded and said happily, “I’m glad to have friends to celebrate my birthday with.”

After saying that, she thought of something and asked, “When is your birthday? Should I celebrate it with you too?”

“The 1st of January.”

“The 1st of January. It’s easy to remember. What do you want for your birthday?”

“I want…”

Before Chu Luo’s gaze, Li Yan lowered his voice and said, “At that time, I want…”

“What is it?”

Li Yan actually stopped halfway and took out his injured arm. “I feel a little discomfort in my arm.”

Chu Luo’s attention immediately shifted to his arm.

Looking at the sealed wound, she frowned and said, “Looks like the Eastern talisman doesn’t have much effect on overseas magic. Wait for a while, I’ll find some medicine for you to take. I’ll find a way to resolve this tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Chu Luo went to the bedroom, took out a pill, and handed it to him. “Take one first. If you feel uncomfortable tonight, come and call me.”

“Mm.” Li Yan took the medicine and turned to enter the bedroom he’d stayed in before.

Chu Luo also went in to take a shower and fell asleep.

At around 3 AM, there was a sudden knock on Chu Luo’s bedroom door.

She quickly got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Li Yan standing there with a dark expression. He was also wearing pajamas.

“Li Yan, what’s wrong?”
