Chapter 201 - FRIENDLY AND BRIGHT YOUNG MAN (2/2)

”Is he Ah Ze's close friend, this Shen Ji Yun?” he couldn't help asking.

”Yes, they're childhood friends.”

Although from Sun Xiulan's perspective, her son forced Shen Ji Yun to be his friend.  Bai Ze was tenaciously running after him again and again despite how many times Shen Ji Yun drove him away.  At the end, Shen Ji Yun finally gave in and accepted Bai Ze's friendship.  That's probably one of her son's strong points.  When he decided on something, he would do everything to see through it until the end.

She could still remember that time when an eight-year-old Bai Ze came home, telling her all about the blue-eyed kid who transferred in his class.  He then announced to her that he would be friends with that kid.  It took quite a while before he managed to do it.  But at the end, he still did.  She still couldn't help but laugh whenever she remembered that time when he first brought Shen Ji Yun here and so proudly told her; [Look, Mom, I did it.  I became friends with him!  Aren't I great?].

He was so adorable then.

”Though you might not have known of him since he'd never really visited whenever you're here,” she added.  ”Anyway, it's already near lunch.  You two can go to the dining area.  I'll let the maids call the others.”

”How about you, Aunt Xiulan?” Luo Jin asked when he noticed that their aunt was going on another direction.

”I'm going to get Dad,” she answered and walked towards the direction of their grandfather's room.

The two brothers looked at each other and then both started walking towards the dining area.  They saw that the maids were still readying the table, putting dishes and other tableware on it.

”Please add another plate,” Luo Jin said to one of the maids very reluctantly.

”Do we have a guest?” suddenly said by a voice behind them.

Both brothers turned and saw their father and uncle.  The one who just spoke was Bai Chen.

”It's a friend of Ah Ze, the name's Shen Ji Yun, I believe,” Luo Ren said.

”Oh, so it's Ji Yun.”

Luo Ren raised one of his brows, because his uncle's reaction was the same as his aunt's.

”He must be pretty close to Ah Ze to be visiting during this holiday,” Luo Wei Tian commented.  Because usually only family members gathered during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Bai Chen chuckled.  ”Yes, almost like brothers.  Despite being polar opposites of one another.”

Polar opposites?  Luo Ren's question was quickly answered when he saw Bai Ze coming in while carrying Bai Ye.  Behind them was Luo Yan.  And beside his brother was a tall young man.

He was talking to Luo Yan with a gentle expression on his face.  But when he turned his gaze towards them, any remaining expressions that he had completely vanished.  It was almost like he turned from a human to a porcelain doll with no emotion.  The atmosphere he was giving off was as cold as his arctic blue eyes.

So, where was the friendly and bright young man he was imagining?
