Chapter 222 - BACK TO SCHOOL (II) (1/2)
LUO YAN walked towards the table and sat opposite Yu Jiao. ”Here, souvenir for you,” he said, putting a small blue paper bag in front of her.
Yu Jiao was slightly startled when Luo Yan put the paper bag in front of her. She hadn't had yet the time to react to their arrival and he already did something like this. She suddenly remembered the scene early this morning in their classroom. Almost all the girls in class gave something to Luo Yan that were from their hometowns. Even some of the boys did that as well.
Luo Yan was very apologetic since he didn't bring anything for them. Saying that it had been very hectic and he didn't have time to buy any souvenirs for everyone. The others didn't mind. Probably because Luo Yan looked very troubled and they didn't want him to continue to have that kind of expression. In that sense, one could say that he already truly captured the hearts of almost everyone in their class.
Not really surprising. He was beautiful, smart, very sociable, and had a good family background. He's so outstanding, everyone would easily be drawn to him. And yet, this same person asked to be his friend. Her who had no redeeming qualities. Even now, when he told others that he didn't buy any souvenirs for them, and yet he had bought one for her.
Luo Yan was confused why Yu Jiao suddenly went silent. Then, he remembered what happened earlier in class, about him not buying any souvenirs. Was it because of that?
”Don't worry, what I bought was not something very expensive. I actually just bought it on the souvenir shop at the airport, so Yu Jiao shouldn't feel troubled,” he assured her.
Yu Jiao finally moved and opened the paper bag. Inside was a memo pad and a mechanical pencil. It certainly didn't look expensive. But it still made her heart extremely warm. This was the first time that she received a gift from someone other than her mother. She wanted to treasure it. She picked up the paper bag and hugged it to her chest.
”T-thank you.”
”Your welcome,” Luo Yan said, smiling brightly. ”I only bought one for you because you're special.”
Yu Jiao raised her head. ”S-special?”
”He meant that as a friend,” Luo Jin suddenly interjected. ”Don't you go on having any weird expectations.”
Luo Yan elbowed Luo Jin. ”Ah Jin!”
”What, I'm only helping her out! What if she suddenly developed a crush on you when you clearly don't plan to reciprocate it back? Your gentleness and kindness towards her would only backfire and she would only get hurt at the end. Do you want that to happen?”
Luo Yan stared at his brother. He certainly didn't expect that answer. It's like they're in point A and he certainly made a turn towards point B. Although he must admit that he certainly had a point. ”Just where did you learn that?”
Luo Jin suddenly couldn't answer. How could he say that it's from those romantic novels he read online last night? Why was he reading those? He got curious and just wanted to know more about romance. It definitely had nothing to do with Su Yuqi. That's right. Su Yuqi was definitely not the reason.
”I just know it,” he harrumphed and crossed his arms over his chest.
