Chapter 309 - SELLING OFF BIG BROTHER
"THIS is our library," Luo Yan said opening the door to their library. "It's one of my favorite spots in the house."
He was taking Yu Jiao on a tour in the house just like what he said to her last night. He started after they finished eating breakfast. Now, they're almost finished with the first floor.
Yu Jiao entered the library and turned her gaze around. This was truly an impressive library. The genres of the books were divided in an orderly manner. Each genre almost occupying one shelf. It was almost like bookstore. One could see that a lot of thought was put in its design.
"We have a lot of selection of books here. If you want to borrow one, I could lend it to you," Luo Yan said following Yu Jiao inside.
"Is it really alright?"
Luo Yan nodded. "Of course."
Yu Jiao walked towards the shelves with design books. She picked one that talked about designing houses. She flipped through it and saw some interesting designs. This book and the rest that was in the shelf he took it from probably belonged to the Luo brothers' deceased mother.
"Are you interested in designs?" Luo Yan asked when he saw the book he picked.
"In a way. But it's more like designing the places and things that could be found in a game," Yu Jiao explained.
"So, Jiao Jiao wants to be a game designer," Luo Yan said it more of a statement rather than a question. Then he grinned. "What a coincidence, I happened to want to be a game programmer. Should we work together in the future?"
"That's- that's actually not such a bad idea," Yu Jiao found herself saying. Then she caught herself. What was she thinking saying that? Luo Yan was probably just joking with her. It's stupid of her to take it seriously.
"I'm quite serious, you know," Luo Yan said as if reading what's on her mind. "I'm planning to go to T University next year. They have a pretty good computer science program. How about you?"
Yu Jiao was still a bit surprised hearing Luo Yan said that he was truly considering working with her in the future, then he suddenly changed the subject so seemingly, it took her quite a while to answer.
"I currently have two choices, T University and F University."
"F University is also good." Then Luo Yan looked at her and said in a teasing tone, "Brother just graduated there this year."
Yu Jiao blinked. She couldn't understand why Luo Yan suddenly mentioned that last part about his brother. But because of that, Luo Ren's image entered her mind once again. Although she was still embarrassed because of what happened last night, but because he apologized, that feeling was almost gone now. She could probably face him now without feeling all awkward.
"I see. He must have graduated with a lot of honors," she only said.
"Yup. My older brother is really great. Don't you think so as well, Jiao Jiao?"
Yu Jiao was a bit confused at first. Because it still felt like he was teasing her. But why would he do that?
Yu Jiao was right, Luo Yan was indeed teasing her. When he realized how his brother figured out the Yu Jiao was a girl, he had an intense urge to tease his older brother. Of course, he wouldn't tease Yu Jiao about that. She's a girl. Something happening like that to a girl was definitely embarrassing. So, he only planned to tease his older brother this morning.
But who would have thought that he would see something so interesting during breakfast? His taciturn older brother who only ever smiled to his family was being so attentive and gentle towards Yu Jiao. Throughout the whole breakfast, he kept giving her different dishes from time to time. Luo Jin's eyes were almost bulging out of his face because of that.
Luo Yan was certainly surprised. But that was only at the beginning. Soon, he just found it amusing. Because based on how Luo Ren was acting, there's a high chance that he became interested in Yu Jiao. And the catalyst of that might be whatever happened last night between the two.
If his guess was correct and the way Luo Ren found out about Yu Jiao's real gender was by accidentally seeing her in a state of undress, then wouldn't that mean that he became attracted to her body? He smirked. [My, my, older brother, I can't believe you have this side in you.]
But knowing Luo Ren, who in his 22 years of existence never even had a girlfriend, he probably hadn't realized his own feelings yet. There's also a chance that in his mind it was just a temporary interest. But whichever the case, Luo Yan liked this progress.
So, starting from today, he decided that he would praise his older brother in front of Yu Jiao from time to time. Increasing his brother's favorability value. That way, if he ever decided to confess to her, his chance of success would also increase.
What a good brother he was. He almost wanted to give himself a pat on the back.
"Well, I think he must be really smart," Yu Jiao could only say, replying to what Luo Yan said earlier.
"Yes, my brother is not only smart, he's also very responsible. Not only that, he may not look the part, but he's actually very kind. Most of all, he's also very handsome. Although he looks slender under that suit he usually wears, I assure you, he was full of firm muscles underneath. In short, he's perfect."
Yu Jiao didn't know how to reply to that. She wasn't even sure why Luo Yan was telling her all these. It's like he's doing some kind of advertisement and Luo Ren was the product he's endorsing. So, did that mean that he wanted to sell his older brother to her? She shook her head vigorously to get those thoughts out of her mind. Just how the heck did her thoughts veer off that way?
"I- I'm going to borrow this book," she said, completely changing the topic. "Let's go to the next place."
Then without waiting for Luo Yan's answer, she walked out of the library.
Luo Yan stared at her back and wondered if he was overdoing it. He was about to follow her when his phone rang. He took it out from his pocket and saw that it was a video call request from Shen Ji Yun.
