Chapter 305 - LUO REN HAD A... (1/2)

YU JIAO stared at the fairy-tale like house in front of her. It's not because it looked like one of those cabins in the woods one would see in a fairy tale book. It just gave off that feeling. It's hard to explain. You know how a building could exude a particular atmosphere? Well, it's like that. This was definitely a testament to the ability of the person who designed the house.

Considering how rich the Luo family was, she was actually expecting a very big house. What she wasn't expecting was a beautiful house like this. It didn't really fit the image of an all-male household. Well, except for Luo Yan. This house definitely fits him.

”Welcome to our house, Jiao Jiao,” Luo Yan said, walking beside Yu Jiao. ”What do you think?”

”It's beautiful,” Yu Jiao honestly said.

Luo Ren who was passing by the two heard what Yu Jiao said. He glanced at the tall teenager and saw 'him' looking at the house. But because of those big glasses, he couldn't see 'his' eyes. He wondered what those sharp eyes of 'him' looked like while staring at the house designed by his mother. Would they be filled with wonders? Or maybe they would be filled with undisguised amazement. For some reason, he suddenly had an urge to take off those glasses.

He was startled by his own thoughts. Then he shook his head and just walked inside the house, following Luo Jin.

”It's designed by our Mom,” Luo Yan said in answer to what Yu Jiao said earlier.

Yu Jiao was slightly surprised when she heard that. But then, at the same time, it suddenly made sense why the house had such a romantic and warm atmosphere. Because the architect of the house put her love on the design. ”Then your mother was a very talented woman.”

It's just a shame that such a woman was gone too early. Yu Jiao, like many other students at Guizu Academy, also heard about the accident that put Luo Yan into coma. That accident also took his mother's life. It was definitely a tragedy for the whole Luo family. She couldn't even fathom the level of pain they must have felt.

”Indeed she was.” Luo Yan would have loved to meet her. But sadly, fate didn't allow him. ”Let's go inside?”

Yu Jiao nodded. It's better to go inside before Luo Yan showed sadness because of the topic.

The interior design of the house was pretty simple but it was pretty tasteful. Which meant that a lot of thought was put in every furniture inside.

”Yu Jiao, I'll take you to your room. It's on the second floor,” Luo Ren said who stopped in his tracks and turned to them. He already called earlier so that the maids could clean one of the rooms on the second floor.

Yu Jiao subconsciously clutched the hem of Luo Yan's shirt. Of course, this move didn't escape Luo Ren's eyes. It's like the other was subconsciously telling him that he wasn't comfortable being alone with him. Somehow, the thought of that also made him feel uncomfortable.

Luo Yan quickly noticed the sudden awkwardness in the air. He looked down at Yu Jiao's hand clutching at the hem of his shirt, then at the stiff smile on his brother's face.

”It's okay, Brother. I'll take Jiao Jiao to the room,” he said. ”I know it's been a long day for you, Brother. You should go ahead and rest.”

”Alright, little brother.” Luo Ren finally regain the gentle smile on his face. ”Yu Jiao's room is two doors on the left of mine.”

Luo Yan nodded as a reply. Then Luo Ren climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

”Okay, the big bad wolf is gone now,” he said teasingly to Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao embarrassingly let go of the hem of Luo Yan's shirt. ”Sorry.”

”No need to apologize,” he said, amused. ”Why are you afraid of my brother? I don't think he looks that scary.”

”I- I'm not afraid of him. He just…” [makes me feel overwhelmed.] – Of course, Yu Jiao didn't say that part. ”I'm just not used to his presence. I'm like this to anyone I met for the first time.”
