海棠书屋 - 值得收藏的宝藏文学小说阅读

He didn’t really want to constantly prove to people that he was here because of his own merits and not because his family pulled some strings. Maybe he would have a chance later during the afternoon class.

Luo Yan’s train of thought was cut off when two girls walked to his desk.

"Luo Yan, do you want to eat lunch with us?" one asked.

"We can show you around as well after," the other added.

Some of the students who also wanted to invite Luo Yan to eat lunch with them almost didn’t blame themselves for moving too slow. They were simply thinking that looking at that pretty face while having their lunch would be very pleasant.

Luo Yan smiled at the two. "I’m sorry. I’m actually waiting for my brother right now. We’re going to eat together. But thank you for inviting me. Maybe we could eat together next time."

The two felt like their hearts were suddenly cleansed and healed just by looking at that smile. They sighed in contentment. It didn’t even matter that they were rejected.

"It’s okay," the two said almost at the same time.

Then as if on cue, a familiar voice suddenly called Luo Yan. It was coming from the doorway, so Luo Yan turned towards that direction. As expected, he saw his younger brother.

"Yan, let’s go," Luo Jin said.

Luo Yan stood up, smiled again at the two girls, and walked towards Luo Jin. As he was doing so, he noticed that most of his classmates were startled seeing Luo Jin appeared here. Considering the things he had heard about his brother’s antics in this school, it was probably truly a surprise seeing him going to his older brother’s classroom.

When he reached Luo Jin’s position, he felt a heated glare coming from behind. He glanced back and saw that guy he argued with earlier – what was his name again? Ah, Huang Wen. He was glaring daggers at their direction. No, it’s more accurate to say that he was glaring at Luo Jin.

Luo Yan remembered that the reason this guy attacked him verbally earlier was because of his feud with Luo Jin. He probably thought that he could get back with Luo Jin if he embarrassed his brother or something. Too bad for him, his plan backfired.

Luo Yan was actually worried, just a tiny bit, that because of his white lotus act, the guy would be shunned in class. After all, it was quite obvious that he already got the favor of most of his classmates. He didn’t really want that. Especially since the guy seemed to only did what he did not because of some vile intent but because of something immature like bullying the brother of his sworn enemy.

He’s not that black hearted to actually enjoy the suffering of others. Fighting back, in his own way, when he’s being targeted was simply a natural response for him. Like some kind of reflex. One of his motto in life had always been; ’if you don’t cross me, then I won’t do anything to you, but if you, then expect payback’. Naturally, he preferred not having to argue with anyone. But sometimes, there were just people who kept on looking for him for trouble. So of course he had to fight back.

But Luo Yan’s worry didn’t really happen. Huang Wen wasn’t shunned. When he returned back to class, everyone still treated him the same. Luo Yan wasn’t sure if it was because his classmates were just simply good-natured or they’re just used to the guy’s brash attitude. He had a feeling it was most probably the latter.

Huang Wen must have noticed his gaze, because he turned his eyes to him. The moment he did, Luo Yan smiled at him. He looked stunned for a bit, then he frowned, snorted, and then turned his gaze away.

"Yan, what are you doing? Let’s go," Luo Jin called his attention back to him.

Luo Yan turned to his brother. "Okay."

They walked out of the classroom and went straight towards the elevator. On their way, they received a lot of gazes. Luo Yan no longer cared about those and just walked with that sweet smile on his face. Luo Jin had never cared if people looked at him or not. So the two brothers walked as if they weren’t being stared at. Soon, the elevator reached the ground floor and the two walked out of the third year’s teaching building.

"Where do you want to eat?" Luo Jin asked. "There are two large cafeterias here, one specializing in traditional food, the other in Western food. Which one do you prefer?"

Somehow, Luo Yan was not surprised hearing that the school made separate cafeterias for both types of cuisines. They had the money to do so, then why not, right? He wouldn’t even be surprised when the cafeterias here turned out to be like three-star Michelin restaurants.

"Let’s eat Western," he said.

Luo Jin nodded. "How was your class? Did anybody bully you?"

Luo Yan looked at his brother and smiled helplessly. "Ah Jin, why do you think it’s for certain that I’ll be bullied?"

[Because you look like someone who people would want to bully.] Of course, Luo Jin didn’t say that out loud. "Because most of the students in this school are high-handed pricks who think they’re better than anyone. They’d be more than glad to bully the new kid."

Luo Yan laughed a little when he heard Luo Jin’s description. "No one bullied me. Everyone has been nice so far. I think they all like me."

Luo Jin glanced down at his second brother. Well, although Luo Yan’s face was the type that would attract bullies, it’s also the type that could quickly and easily gather the good feelings of people around him.

"Just don’t forget to tell me if someone ever try to bully you," he still said just in case.

Luo Yan only smiled. How could he ever allow anyone to bully him?

While walking his phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out from his pocket and saw that it was a WeChat message from Shen Ji Yun. He opened the message.

[luckycloud]: Have you eaten lunch?

Then it was followed by a rabbit sticker eating a bento.

Luo Yan chuckled. Thinking of how cute Shen Ji Yun was. Then he suddenly remembered the message he sent earlier. About that gift he said he sent to him. Now he suddenly couldn’t help but wonder what it was.

Surely it wouldn’t be something related to rabbits. Right?
