Chapter 210 - WALKING TO THE EAST MAIN BUILDING
THE group of six started walking towards the East Main Building of T University where the Department of Science and Technology was located. They were walking in group of twos. The one leading were Bai Ze and Shen Ji Yun, followed by Luo Ren and Luo Yan, the one at the rear were Luo Jin and Su Yuqi. It was easier walking that way instead of walking in cluster.
Even though it's a holiday, there were still a few students walking around campus. They were probably those who were too busy to go home. Some might be poor students from faraway places who simply didn't have the money for fares. And then there were those who simply didn't have a family to go back to.
Luo Yan belonged to the last category when he was still studying here. Every holidays and vacations, he would be the only left in the dormitory. Because he was the only one who had no family to return to. A bitter smile crossed his lips. Those were indeed fun times.
"Yan Yan, are you okay?" Luo Ren asked after noticing the sudden plummeting of his brother's mood.
Luo Yan came back to his senses after he heard his older brother's question. What was he thinking? This was barely the time to feel depressed. How could he make his older brother worried? He raised his head and smiled at Luo Ren.
"I'm fine, Brother. I'm just thinking of the pet I acquired in the game. I haven't seen him in two days, so I kind of missed him."
"I see." Luo Ren was not sure if that truly was the case. But looking at his smile, it seemed that he already got over it. "Then do you want a pet in reality? I could buy you one. Do you want a puppy or a kitten?"
Luo Yan laughed. Somehow, he already kind of expected that reaction from Luo Ren. "I don't think I'm ready yet for such responsibility."
Shen Ji Yun who was secretly listening to the conversation of the two thought if he should also give a pet to Luo Yan. A white and fluffy rabbit. No, maybe a fox would be more appropriate. Just like the pet he had in the game.
As they walk, the eyes of the people they passed by all gathered on them. Not really surprising. A group of good-looking people walking together would always gather the attention of others.
The one who's attracting the most attention was Su Yuqi. Not just because she was the only girl but also because her overall style. From her bleached hair to the way she was dressed, everything just screamed 'attention'. And this was just making Luo Jin all antsy for some reason.
His hands were just itching to punch every people looking their way. Was this the remnant of his delinquent days? He just couldn't help but be violent, was that it? And here he thought he already had a good grasp of his violent tendency by now.
"Hey, look at that girl. She's hot, isn't she?"
"Well, the bleached hair and piercing are kind of a turn off. But she does have a sexy body."
"Should I go for her?"
Hearing that conversation, Luo Jin's violence meter just increased. He glared at the two guys talking. Which caused the two to step back and then ran away like scared mice.
"You look like you're about to beat up someone," Su Yuqi commented.
[Because I am.]
But Luo Jin calmed himself down. Although he truly wanted to beat up the two, he wouldn't want to look like some barbarian in front of the others. Yes, definitely not specifically because he didn't want Su Yuqi to see him that way. Besides, his oldest brother would definitely beat him up if he caused a scene here. So, even if he didn't want to, he still had to rein in his temper.
"The building is just right over there," Bai Ze said pointing at the building just a few distance away.
Luo Yan looked at the familiar building in front. Just a few steps away and he could have the answer to his question. But looking for that answer with these many people around him just wouldn't be ideal. Besides, he's not sure if he could maintain his calm once he heard the answer. He didn't want his brothers to see him in such a state. Because knowing them, they would only be worried for him. And that's the last thing he wanted. To cause his family any unnecessary worry.
But he still needed someone to come with him. Because going by himself would only make his brothers ran after him. If he went with someone, then they would at least not immediately assume that something bad would happen to him. So, who should he go with?
There were only three people to choose from. And it seemed like his hand had already chosen someone. Before he knew it, he was already holding Shen Ji Yun's hand.
Shen Ji Yun was startled because of the soft palm that suddenly held his. He looked up and saw the rabbit smiling up at him. His heart felt like it suddenly skipped a beat. After that, it just started beating faster and faster. He was probably even blushing right now.
"Yan Yan?"
"Yan Yan?"
Both he and Luo Ren asked at the same time. Then they both looked at each other. He could tell by the look on Luo Ren's eyes that he was silently telling him to let go of the rabbit's hand. But how could he just calmly follow that? So, instead of letting go, he just held Luo Yan's hand tighter.
Although Luo Yan was slightly surprised by the sudden pressure on his hand. He actually kind of didn't mind it. He then, instead, turned to his older brother.
"Brother, me and Brother Ji Yun will go on ahead. Let's look around the building separately, okay?"
Before any of them could react, Luo Yan had already pulled Shen Ji Yun inside the building.
Bai Ze watched the back of the two disappeared inside. Then he suddenly felt an extremely cold air pressure behind him. He turned around and almost shivered when he saw the dark face of his older cousin.
Luo Ren turned to him. "Bai Ze, if something happened to Yan Yan, I will definitely beat the shit out of that friend of yours," he said and smiled, but it didn't really reach his eyes, so it only looked scary. "And maybe you as well."
"W-wait- why also me?"
"Because you are friends," Luo Ren answered, as if what he said was very justified. "Do you have any complaints?"
Bai Ze could only awkwardly laugh. "No, of course not. How dare I?"
Yes, how dare he when Luo Ren looked so scary? He turned to the building.
[Ji Yun, you better take care of Xiao Yan or Brother Ren might just skin us alive.]
