Chapter 214 - THE LAST QUESTION (1/2)

SHEN JI YUN, who was standing beside Luo Yan, immediately noticed that single tear drop. Without much thought, his body moved on its own and cupped the rabbit's face. When he saw that single tear drop falling down the rabbit's satiny cheek, he felt like something just pierced his heart. It was a very unpleasant feeling and he didn't like it. Not one bit.

He wiped the tear drop using his thumb. ”Don't cry. Don't be sad.”

Luo Yan was startled because of Shen Ji Yun's sudden action. It was only then that he realized that he had cried. He must be much more affected by the news about his 'death' than he expected him to be. But he could honestly say right now that he was fine. The emotions that were almost suffocating him earlier had already vanished. Now, he only felt refreshed and lighthearted.

He raised his head to look at Shen Ji Yun and was surprised to see his expression. Yes, there was a very clear expression on his face. Like a mix of worry, sadness, anger, and frustration. This was the first time he saw him showing such a variety of emotions. And when he told him to not cry and be sad, he almost looked like a puppy trying to cheer up his master. It looked kind of cute.

He smiled and put his hand on one of the hands of Shen Ji Yun that was cupping his face. ”I'm fine, Brother Ji Yun. Some dust probably just got into my eyes.”

Shen Ji Yun clearly felt earlier the sadness that suddenly enveloped Luo Yan. That's why he became even more worried when he saw that tear drop. But now, seeing his smile, the one that looked like flowers were blooming around him, Shen Ji Yun finally felt relieved. He hated seeing him sad, much more so seeing him cry. But as he realized those things, he also just noticed that his hands were still cupping the rabbit's face. Because he was leaning over him, their faces appeared very close to each other.

He immediately let go and stepped back. Both his ear tips were burning red. ”That's good then.”

”It's the holidays, so this place hasn't been cleaned yet,” Rong Shun said, probably commenting about the topic of 'dust' that Luo Yan mentioned. He didn't even care about that little interlude between Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun.

Luo Yan turned to the professor who was now sitting back on his nook again. ”Was he buried in a cemetery in this city?”

Although Rong Shun was a bit confused why this kid was so curious about 'Luo Yan', he still answered his question. He had already told him a lot anyway. And besides, it was rare that he could talk to someone about that troublesome student of his. ”No, he's buried at the province where the orphanage he grew up in was. It was the request of the director.”

He was actually the one who paid for the burial because the orphanage didn't have the money for that. Which he didn't mind. After all, he had more money than he knew what to do with.

Luo Yan smiled a little. The director, she probably truly considered him as a son. Whereas he only acted kind and obedient because he wanted to be liked. Because he wanted his life at the orphanage to be a little bit better. Even after he was reborn, the thought of the director and that orphanage never crossed his mind. Which just showed how much of a sc.u.m he was.

He should probably repay the director for all the kindness he received from her. Something that he could easily do now, considering just how rich the Luo family was. If he asked his father to donate money to an orphanage, he was sure that he would not be rejected. That's the least thing he could do. At least for now.

Once he could, he would definitely visit the orphanage and personally give his gratitude to the director. He should probably do the same for those three roommates of his.

Now that most of his question was answered, he only had one question in his mind. ”Teacher, you said that he died because a potted plant fell on him. Was it only an accident?”

”It was. Apparently, a student who also just graduated at that time forgot to close the window of his room. There was a potted cactus plant there. When Luo Yan passed by, it so happened that the wind blew a tad bit too strong and the potted cactus plant fell over straight to him.”
