Chapter 263 - VULCAN MEETS TEAM YUNYUE (II) (1/2)
”MY name is Yu Jiao,” Yu Jiao continued.
Luo Yan glanced surprisingly at the girl. He didn't expect that she would introduce herself and say her name on her own accord. He looked down and saw her tightly clenched hands. It seemed like she was still very nervous. But since she introduced herself without him encouraging her, that meant that she was trying her best to overcome her own nervousness. Which was already a very big step forward for her.
He was happy to know that Yu Jiao was trying her best to change her timid nature. Since he decided to be friends with her, of course, he wanted her to be more confident of herself. She was such a talented and kind girl. It would be such a waste if she couldn't even be at least proud of herself.
This was also the reason why he wanted her to meet his team mates. Because he believed that they would be a good influence on her. He was hoping that they could help her slowly get out of her own shell. So that one day, she could stand in front of people with her chin high and without her averting her gaze from them.
Since Yu Jiao already took the initiative to introduce herself using her real name, Luo Yan was hoping that the others would also do the same. The three didn't disappoint him and also introduced themselves.
”Shen Ji Yun.”
”Su Yuqi. Nice to meet you,” Su Yuqi said nodding towards Yu Jiao.
Luo Yan almost had a black line on his face when he heard the introduction of the two. Especially Shen Ji Yun. At least Su Yuqi said 'nice to meet you'.
”My name is Bai Ze, I'm Xiao Yan's older cousin,” Bai Ze said introducing himself with gusto. ”Since you're Xiao Yan's classmate, that means you're younger. So, please, feel free to call me 'Brother Ze'.”
Luo Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. His cousin was still more reliable compared to the other two when it came to things like this.
”N-no. How could I?” Yu Jiao immediately said when she heard White Marsh – no, Bai Ze said that she could call him brother.
”It's alright, Jiao Jiao. They were all two or three years older than us, so it's okay to address them as 'brother' and 'sister',” Luo Yan said assuring Yu Jiao.
”Xiao Yan is right,” Bai Ze agreed.
”I have no problem with that,” Su Yuqi followed.
The only one who didn't say anything was Shen Ji Yun. It was because he was still immersed on the part where Luo Yan called the girl 'Jiao Jiao'. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind because of that simple call. Add that to the fact the Luo Yan was obviously taking care of her a little bit too much and it just added to the chaos in his mind.
Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun. Seeing him not reacting with that cold, handsome, expressionless face of his, he suddenly had a bad hunch. Surely, this guy was not really eating Yu Jiao's vinegar, right? Because this was hardly the time for that.
