Chapter 313 - WHAT SHE DESERVED (1/2)

LUO YAN quickly noticed the slight blush on Yu Jiao's cheeks. A sign that she heard what Luo Jin said. She almost resisted the urge to kick his younger brother under the table. But he knew that it was not Luo Jin's fault. Who would have predicted that Yu Jiao would appear right at this moment?

Knowing Yu Jiao, if she as much as suspected that his older brother had some kind of attraction towards her, she would definitely run as far away as possible. Or there could be another response, a totally different one than the first. She would not believe what Luo Jin said at all. The thought of Luo Ren liking her would not even cross her mind. So, she might just take it as Luo Jin being sarcastic.

If it was the latter, then his older brother would really be in trouble. After all, it's quite hard to make someone believe that you like them when that someone firmly believed the opposite – that there's no chance that they would be liked in that way.

Luo Yan was planning to say something along the lines of 'of course Brother likes Jiao Jiao, because she is a great girl'. It was not only to break the awkward silence but also to secretly instill in Yu Jiao's mind that it was not impossible for her to be liked by his older brother. But before he could do that, Yu Jiao already entered the private box and spoke first.

”S-sorry if I'm a bit late,” she said, sitting beside Luo Yan. ”I had to talk to the dorm manager, so it took a while before I could log in.”

Hearing what she said, Luo Yan could only sigh. Seeing how she so blatantly changed the subject, it seemed like it was the latter case. She immediately put what Luo Jin said as something nonsensical. Because she, herself, didn't believe that Luo Ren would see her in that way. Most of it was probably because of her low self-esteem. It seemed like her life experience really did a number on her.

If his older brother really ended up falling for Yu Jiao, then he would definitely have one heck of a time chasing her. As early as now, Luo Yan was already lighting a small candle for Luo Ren.

Shen Ji Yun would probably have a better luck than him.

Luo Yan caught himself. Why the heck did he think of that? It's like he's saying that it would be easier for Shen Ji Yun to chase him than for his older brother to chase Yu Jiao. He shook his head. How could he suddenly arrive at that conclusion while thinking about the situation of his older brother and Yu Jiao? He was probably still thinking of that video call he had with Shen Ji Yun. That's why his thoughts veered off that way.

”It's okay, we haven't waited that long,” he just said. ”Your dorm manager didn't scold, did she?”

”Oh no, she just asked me about some things,” Yu Jiao answered, finally able to calm down.

She was actually quite fl.u.s.tered when she heard Luo Jin said about his eldest brother liking her. She didn't hear their conversation that led up to that sentence, he only heard that last part. But it's not hard to think that Luo Jin was probably just joking. It's okay if he was just talking about Luo Ren liking her because she was a decent human being. But if it was a different kind of 'like', then that's just impossible.

How could such a successful man ever be interested in her in that way? Although that embarrassing incident happened between her and Luo Ren, it was nothing more but an accident. It didn't mean anything. And since he already apologized to her, she already decided to forget all about it. He was Luo Yan's older brother. And since she's Luo Yan's friend, she was sure that meeting Luo Ren again in the future would be unavoidable. So, it's better if there would ne awkwardness between them in the future.

”That's good,” Luo Yan said, then he raised Eclipse and put him on the table. ”I hope you still remember my pet, Eclipse.”

”Of course.” Yu Jiao smiled down at the fox and ruffled his head. ”Hello, Eclipse.”

The little fox rubbed his fluffy head on Yu Jiao's palm. [Mashter, Eclipse likes this friend. He's very handsome.]

Luo Yan chuckled. ”He likes you.”

”I'm glad then,” Yu Jiao said, enjoying the feel of the fox's soft fur.
