NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1076 BACK TO SCHOOL
1076 BACK TO SCHOOL
ALTHOUGH Shen Ji Yun could happily admit that he was a big sucker for Luo Yan. It was not because of his request that the date for the final tournament was rescheduled. He did try, though. But before he could, his uncle had informed him about the possibility of it being rescheduled.
Which, in his opinion, was the best announcement from last night. He had been worrying about Luo Yan's college entrance examination for a while now. With only a few months left, if the other spent most of his time playing games instead of reviewing, and then ended up having a low score in the exam, he probably wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
After all, he was the one who agreed for their team to participate in Arcadia Cup, despite the fact that this was a very busy time for Luo Yan. Even if the other had assured him that this wouldn't affect his studying, he still couldn't help but be worried.
He had been thinking of ways to get around the tournament schedule for a while now, so it was a huge relief that Moonlight Media made the decision of changing the schedule. At least now, he didn't have to use his position as the CEO's nephew to make things go his way.
But why would Luo Yan ask him about that?
The answer came almost immediately. If he could easily think of the things he just did, then there's no way Luo Yan wouldn't be able to. He must have wondered why the date for the final tournament was conveniently moved after the college entrance examination.
The best answer would be because Shen Ji Yun did something. Considering everything, it's not weird that Luo Yan would reach such a conclusion.
Instead of getting embarrassed, Shen Ji Yun let out a helpless smile. He wanted to call Luo Yan at this moment, but he knew the other must either be on the way to school or he was already there. So, he could only send back a message.
----------
Nearing the school, Luo Yan finally received the reply from Shen Ji Yun. He quickly read it.
[luckycloud]: As much as I want to take credit for that, I'm afraid I can't. I had planned to, but Uncle had already made that decision before I could talk to him.
Luo Yan raised his brow. Now that was unexpected. He sent a reply to the other.
[yanyan1213]: Now I'm a bit embarrassed for even assuming.
[luckycloud]: Don't be. It's something I would have done. It just happened that I didn't have to do anything this time. So, it's right for you to think that it was me who did it.
[luckycloud]: After all, I'm such a big sucker for you.
That last message drew a laugh from Luo Yan.
[yanyan1213]: And I love you for that.
The car stopped. Luo Yan didn't even realize that they were already in school. He said goodbye to Shen Ji Yun and got out of the car.
"So, was it him?" Luo Jin asked as he walked beside Luo Yan.
Luo Yan quickly understood what the other meant. "Surprisingly, it's not him."
"And you believe him?" Luo Jin scoffed. "He's definitely lying."
Luo Yan chuckled and pinched his brother's cheek. "Brother Ji Yun is not in the habit of lying to me. It's more likely for me to lie to him, actually."
"If you say so," Luo Jin said, still not believing. "I'll go to my class."
They separated and walked to their respective teaching buildings.
As Luo Yan walked to his classroom, he noticed that there were a lot more students glancing and staring at him. At least, more than usual.
He was sure that those stares were not just because of him being too beautiful. They were mostly inquisitive and didn't really have that much of malice. But some were obviously looking at him with the expression of someone watching gossip.
Hmm... what could this mean? Did he have some kind of scandal or...?
Before he could think of the reason, a familiar voice called him from the back.
"Yan Yan!"
Luo Yan stopped walking and turned back. He saw Yu Jiao running towards him. He waited for the other and the both of them walked towards their classroom.
"How was the rest of your vacation?" Luo Yan asked as they walked.
A smile appeared on Yu Jiao's face. "It's good. My mom and I went to Hainan Island last week for a short vacation. It was wonderful."
"That's a good place to go to during winter," Luo Yan said, remembering that it was an island known for its tropical weather, even during the winter months. It was a place known for its beaches and resorts.
Maybe he and Shen Ji Yun could go there next year.
They continued to talk until they entered their classroom. But as soon as they did, some of their classmates quickly encircled Luo Yan.
"Yan Yan, are you really Noctis?" one said. "Actually, I've been meaning to ask that for quite a while now, since you look a lot like him."
"A lot of us thought the same!" another added.
"We saw your picture with that guy who looked like YUN. No, wait, is he really YUN?" someone said.
"Can you tell us? Promise we won't post it online. It will be like a class secret."
Oh... so that's what it was. The reason why those students earlier were looking at him funny. It's still because of that damn photo.
How should he handle this?
Before he could think of any response, a voice from behind suddenly interrupted them.
"Can you all move? You're blocking the way?"
They all looked behind and saw Huang Wen. Seeing his frowning face, everyone made way.
Luo Yan watched the other go to his seat. Now that he thought about it, the two of them never had a proper interaction again after Huang Wen confessed to him.
He wondered how he and Ying Chen were doing now?
