Chapter 299 - UNCLE DRIVER'S MISUNDERSTANDING
LUO YAN sat down on the back seat of their family's car. "Uncle Tan, please wait a while. My friend will come soon," he said to the driver sitting at the front.
"Yes, second young master."
His phone vibrated again. He opened the WeChat message and read it.
[luckycloud]: Are you going home now?
It's Shen Ji Yun's reply to what he sent earlier – saying that he was already done with his exam. The two of them haven't met in the game these past five days. But the other didn't forget to send him a message on WeChat every day. As if brushing up his sense of existence. It's as if he's afraid that he would forget him if he didn't see him for a couple of days. Of course, that's impossible. Someone with Shen Ji Yun's presence could never be easily forgotten.
[YanYan1213]: No, I'm going to a café with Jiao Jiao.
Surprisingly, it took quite a while before Luo Yan received a reply. It was a bit unusual since whenever he sent a message to Shen Ji Yun, the other would reply to him within a few seconds.
[luckycloud]: I see.
He raised one of his brows and stared at that 'I see'. He could literally feel the coldness from those two words. Then an incredulous thought entered his mind. Was this guy eating Yu Jiao's vinegar again?
Before he could reply back, Shen Ji Yun already sent another message.
[luckycloud]: Then please be careful. Don't go home too late. The weather is already cold. Be sure to keep warm so as not to get sick and catch a cold.
Luo Yan stared at these words. He could feel the obvious worry in them. Then another message was sent.
[luckycloud]: Have fun.
He almost couldn't hold back his smile. Look, even if Shen Ji Yun was obviously reluctant, he still wanted him to have fun. Showing that despite feeling 'jealous', he wouldn't be narrow-minded enough to spoil Luo Yan's fun. He suddenly had an urge to tease and bully him. Sending a message like how he planned to enjoy his afternoon with Yu Jiao. But he stopped himself at the last second. He could already imagine the expressionless face of the other filling with gloom once he read that. He was not black hearted enough to intentionally cause someone to feel depressed.
[YanYan1213]: I know, Brother Ji Yun. You as well, try to take care of yourself.
As a reply, Shen Ji Yun sent him a rabbit sticker with a shy expression and a speech bubble on the side saying 'thank you'. Luo Yan couldn't help but laughed.
The driver at the front heard the second young master's laugh. He looked at the rearview mirror and saw the young teenager, looking down at his phone with a smile on his face. This look suddenly reminded him of his own daughter who was always smiling silly while looking at her phone. Then they later found out that she was actually engaging in early love. The reason why she was always smiling silly at her phone was because she was exchanging messages with a boy. He was so angry when he learned that, he almost coughed up blood.
Could it be… the second young master was also engaging in early love?
He quickly shook his head. Their second young master was so innocent, how could he have a concept of 'love'? But what if some girl was taking advantage of the young master? And was planning to toy with his heart? Their young master was so beautiful and kind. A lot of people would definitely like him. No, he should report this to the master.
Luo Yan, who had no idea that his driver's brain was already full of the idea of him being 'taken advantaged of', received a message from Yu Jiao.
[yujiao]: Yan Yan, I'm already at the parking lot you mentioned.
After he read that, he opened the car door and stood outside. He turned around and immediately saw Yu Jiao at a distance.
"Jiao Jiao!" he called.
The other looked at his direction and quickly ran towards the car. Luo Yan sat back inside and soon, Yu Jiao entered on the side of the opened car door. She sat beside Luo Yan and closed the door.
"Uncle Tan, please drive to the nearest Sweet Escape branch," Luo Yan said to the driver.
"Yes, second young master."
Then the car drove out of the parking lot.
"Don't worry, Jiao Jiao. I don't think anyone from our school would see us there," he assured Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao suddenly felt guilty hearing that. The reason why she didn't want to be seen hanging out with the Luo brothers was because she didn't want to attract the attention of others. Luo Jin was very famous at school. A lot of girls would definitely think 'badly' of her if they saw her talking to him. And even though Luo Yan just started to attend school this month, he was already starting to have his own fame. Not really surprising, considering his extraordinary appearance and family background. That's why she'd rather meet secretly.
But wouldn't it seem like she put more importance on what others would think than their friendship? She suddenly felt guilty. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. A decision was already made in her mind.
"I- I don't mind if others see us t-together."
Luo Yan turned to the girl sitting beside her. Even though she stuttered, he could still feel the determination in her voice. He smiled. It seemed like she's no longer afraid to tell others that they were friends.
"Then next week, during lunch break, we'll walk to the small restaurant together."
Yu Jiao smiled back. "Okay."
The driver while carefully driving was also quietly listening to the conversation of the two. Why did it sound like they were in an 'underground relationship' and now they're ready to admit that 'relationship' to everyone? He quickly glanced at the rearview mirror to look at the young master's friend. The other was wearing gym clothes and obviously taller than their young master. Their hair was messy and the upper half of their face was covered by the big glasses they're wearing. He frowned. Wasn't this classmate a boy?
Should he also report this to the master?
