Chapter 239 - SYMBOL OF YUEXING PAVILION (1/2)

WHEN the bell rang, signaling the end of the morning class, he almost sprung up his seat with excitement. He stood up abruptly and immediately stepped out of his seat. But due to that, he almost collided with a person that was about to pass by him. Because he tried to avoid any collision, he quickly lost his balance. He thought he was going to fall back but a pair of strong hands managed to hold his shoulders and prevent the fall.

”Thank you—”

He didn't manage to finish his sentence and his words just stuck in his throat. Because when he raised his head, he saw Huang Wen's annoyed face looking down on him.

Luo Yan's change in expression was very obvious – from grateful to guarded. It all happened the moment he raised his head and saw Huang Wen. That pissed off Huang Wen more than it should. So, he let go of the kid's shoulders as if he just touched something dirty and then said in an annoyed tone, ”Watch it.”

He didn't wait for his response and just turned around and walked out of the classroom.

Luo Yan stared at Huang Wen's back. He remembered the last time when the other interfered when that friend of his, what was his name again? Ah, Ying Chen, tried to mess with Luo Yan. Because of that, he discovered that Huang Wen was not all that bad. He's probably just in his rebellious phase. And because of his supposed 'rivalry' with Luo Jin, he couldn't help but be annoyed with him. Maybe he shouldn't be too guarded when he's around. After all, he hadn't felt that much of an ill-intent from him since they met.

He put the matter of Huang Wen at the back of his mind and turned to look at Yu Jiao's seat. The other was no longer there and was probably already on his way to the small restaurant. He also walked out of the classroom before his other classmates tried to talk to him.

When Luo Yan arrived at the ground floor, he immediately saw Luo Jin waiting for him outside. He quickened his steps and arrived at his younger brother's side in no time.

”Did you see Jiao Jiao passed by?” he asked.

”Yeah, she did, just a minute ago,” Luo Jin answered.

”Then let's go. It's not good to keep the lady waiting,” Luo Yan said before pulling Luo Jin towards the direction of the small restaurant.

”Why are you in such a rush? It's not as if that girl would disappear if we're a little bit late,” Luo Jin complained.

”That's a bad habit to get used to, Ah Jin. How do you expect Sister Yuqi to like you if you have that kind of mentality?” Luo Yan said in a scolding manner while still pulling Luo Jin. ”Remember, girls don't like boys who are always late. It makes them feel that they're not important enough, that they're not at the top of your priorities.”

Luo Jin blushed. ”W-who said that I w-want Su Yuqi to l-like me?”

But even though he said that, he still subconsciously remembered what his second brother said about not being late.

”Yes, yes, you don't want her to like you that's why your attention was always on her,” Luo Yan said sarcastically.

”Yan!”

”Okay, I'll shut up now,” he said because he knew how thin-skinned this brother of his was. If he continued teasing him, they might just delay more time. ”So, let's hurry, okay?”
