Chapter 263 - VULCAN MEETS TEAM YUNYUE (II) (2/2)
”Brother Ji Yun,” he called. And when the other turned to him, he continued, ”You don't mind if Jiao Jiao called you 'brother', right?”
Luo Yan was smiling but Shen Ji Yun felt that the other was threatening him. That if he didn't agree, there would be hell to pay. He subconsciously straightened his back and answered without much thought, ”Yes.”
Luo Jin saw his brother's dark smile and he looked smugly at Shen Ji Yun. It's better if this guy continued to show a bad impression to his brother. That way, Luo Yan would be more guarded against him.
Luo Yan was finally satisfied when he heard Shen Ji Yun's answer. He turned to Yu Jiao. ”See, I told you they're all friendly.”
Yu Jiao had a feeling that YUN, no, this Shen Ji Yun was only forced to agree because of Luo Yan. Which she didn't really mind. Because she had no plans to call them that. How could she when they only barely met.
”N-no, it's really okay. I- I can just call them Seniors. That is, if you all don't mind,” she said that last part with an almost inaudible voice and with her gaze down.
Su Yuqi raised her brow when she saw the way the girl was acting. Now she suddenly understood why Luo Jin described her as a 'timid giraffe'. She was simply radiating with nervousness. Su Yuqi didn't thought of her that way when she met Vulcan before. Although the other barely even spoke, she thought that the Blacksmith was just like her – indifferent. Now, with Yu Jiao's series of actions since she entered the room, she quickly understood that she was not indifferent, she was simply being shy.
It never crossed Su Yuqi's mind that the other might just be faking it. She trusted Luo Yan's judgement. She believed that he wouldn't befriend someone with a problematic character. Not to mention, Luo Jin was still there. This guy would never allow someone with a bad personality to get close to his dear brother.
One of the reasons someone could develop a timid personality was because they felt very insecure growing up. A lot of factors could go along with that. Family background, their environment, the way they were raised, etc. Su Yuqi didn't really care much about that. But since they were both girls and the other were friends with Luo Yan, she decided to take more care of her.
”Come and sit down, both of you,” she said.
Luo Yan's eyes brightened when he heard what Su Yuqi said. It seemed like she was willing to befriend Yu Jiao. ”Yes, let's go and sit.”
He gently pulled Yu Jiao towards the empty seat on the left of Su Yuqi. The only empty seat remaining was beside Shen Ji Yun. So, he sat there.
He glanced sideways at Shen Ji Yun. There was still no expression on his overly handsome face. But Luo Yan could tell that there were probably a lot of stupid thoughts swirling in his mind right now. He shook his head. What if those thoughts affected Yu Jiao? Of course, he couldn't let that happen.
So, he leaned towards Shen Ji Yun and whispered on his ear, ”Brother Ji Yun, please be good to Jiao Jiao, okay?”
Shen Ji Yun only felt Luo Yan's soft breath blowing on his ear. And his mind immediately went blank.
