Chapter 213 - THE DEATH OF LUO YAN (2/2)

But surprisingly enough, although Luo Yan looked sad and scared, he didn't feel that he really was. If this was any other person, they would probably feel disappointed when they saw someone they knew acting to show their sympathy to someone. But Shen Ji Yun didn't feel that way. He was, in fact, rather glad that the rabbit was not really sad.

”His parents must have been heartbroken,” Luo Yan added.

”If they were alive, then yes, they must have been,” Rong Shun said, taking out the lollipop stick from his mouth and throwing it to the nearest trash can. ”He's an orphan, that guy.”

”That's… sad,” Luo Yan commented. Although it's truly a bit creepy talking about his death in his last life, he must still persevere to know the answer.

”Yeah.”

Rong Shun was in the campus when that accident happened. Luo Yan was a pretty famous student, so that word of what happened to him immediately spread. Rong Shun left whatever he was doing to rush to the hospital. He was already undergoing surgery then. The doctor managed to save him. But he fell into a coma after that. Then a few days later, his body gave out and succ.u.mbed to death.

And just like that, a person who definitely had a bright future ahead of him, died.

Rong Shun learned from Luo Yan's three roommates that he was an orphan. For the one year that he spent as his adviser, he didn't even realize that he was in that kind of situation. Because he always looked so happy. With people always constantly surrounding him. But at the time of his death, he didn't even have a single family member with him.

Yes, it was indeed heartbreaking.

”Did… did he die alone?”

This time, even Luo Yan knew that he was not acting. The fear in his voice was real. He was afraid. Afraid that he would hear from Rong Shun that he died all alone. He thought that he was already over it. That he had already accepted the possibility of that. But it seemed that that was not the case.

Because dying alone meant that no one genuinely cared about him. He wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that way. Considering how fake he was. The way he manipulated people to suit his needs, the way he constantly lied and deceived people. Always putting up a wall between him and other people. How could someone like that deserved the genuine care of others?

Luo Yan looked down, he could feel his hands trembling. He smiled bitterly. Really, just how much of a coward was he?

He was startled when he suddenly felt a big, warm hand enveloping his trembling hand. He turned to Shen Ji Yun. His blue eyes silently asking if he's alright. Luo Yan didn't know the answer to that. So, he could only do his best to smile at him.

”He didn't.” What Rong Shun said made Luo Yan sharply turned to him. ”He was in a coma for a couple of days after that accident. The director of the orphanage he grew up in remained at his side through all that. His three roommates were also there. Me as well.”

Luo Yan felt like the chain in his heart suddenly broke into pieces when he heard that. It was almost as if a part of him was freed from something that's tying it down. He felt lighthearted. He truly could not explain what he was feeling. If he was happy or sad. He just knew that he was relieved.

[I see… I see… the director and those guys, even this guy here, were all there.]

He was not alone. Even if he was such a sc.u.mmy person, even though he didn't show his real self to them, those people still cared for him. Enough that they would remain at his side during such a time.

[I see…]

And he did not even notice that a single tear drop had already fallen from one of his eyes.
