LUO REN was now driving on the busy main road of S City. Today, he didn't go to the office but instead went to inspect a new site that their company planned to develop in the future. It's located just outside S City. His inspection finished much earlier than he expected. He was already back in S City and was planning to fetch both his brothers from school when he received the call from Uncle Chu. The driver told him about Luo Yan's request for the other to fetch their younger brother from school because he wouldn't be able to go back with him later.
When he heard that, he remembered that Luo Yan had an exam today. That meant that he could go home early. But knowing his younger brother, he knew that the other wouldn't go home immediately even if his class ended early. He would definitely wait for Luo Jin, so they could go home together. Unless Luo Yan had another plan. That's why he immediately dialed his brother's number.
Sure enough, as he thought, he heard Luo Yan said that he went out with a friend. He was very happy to hear that his brother finally had a friend his age. He always worried that Luo Yan wouldn't be able to adapt to his school life because of because of being in a long coma before. It was also worrying to think that he seemed to spend most of his time inside that virtual reality game. After all, reality was very different from virtual reality.
So, he was relieved to hear that Luo Yan went out with a friend. Then he became worried almost instantly. What if this friend was not that reliable? What if he turned out to be a bad influence to his brother?
He still remembered that guy Shen Ji Yun. The other looked upright and serious, but Luo Ren always felt like he was hitting the idea of his younger brother. Like some kind of wolf prowling around its prey. The fact that the other practically grew up with his cousin, Bai Ze, didn't help improve his impression of him.
He knew it was weird to think that way. Especially since both were of the same gender. But he just couldn't throw off the feeling that this Shen Ji Yun would take his precious brother away. What if this time, Luo Yan's newly-found friend was also like Shen Ji Yun? He had to see it for himself.
So, he no longer stopped himself and called Uncle Tan.
"Uncle Tan, where did you take Yan Yan?" he asked when the phone connected.
"Young master, second young master is now at a café called Sweet Escape together with his friend," Uncle Tan answered.
Sweet Escape? "Can you send me the location?"
"Of course, young master."
"By the way, Uncle Tan, what do you think of Yan Yan's friend?" he couldn't help but asked.
"Well, 'he' was tall and had was wearing a big pair of glasses. 'He' looked, how do I say this, very studious."
Luo Ren raised one of his brows when he heard that description. So, this friend looked like a nerd? That's kind of unexpected. But he guessed that's better than someone who looked like a playboy. "I see. Thank you, Uncle Tan."
"No trouble, no trouble," the driver immediately said.
Luo Ren hung the phone and quickly received a message from Uncle Tan telling him the address of the café. Seeing that it was not that far from where he currently was, he immediately made a beautiful U-turn and drove to the location of the said café.
It didn't take long before his car drove on the street where the café was. He could already see the sign 'Sweet Escape' in the distance. But his attention was quickly taken away by a familiar small figure.
It was his brother being stopped by two people!
He didn't think much and quickly parked his car on the side of the road. He ran towards the commotion at his fastest speed. But before he reached there, a tall teenager wearing gym clothes suddenly stood in front of Luo Yan.
"S-stay away," the teenager said. 'He' might be stuttering but Luo Ren could feel the clear determination in his voice.
"You're the one who should stay away," one of the two people who blocked Luo Yan earlier said.
"Yeah, we saw her first."
After the second one said that, he suddenly pushed the tall teenager to the side. It could be seen that he put a lot of force in that push.
When Luo Ren saw that the tall teenager was about to fall down on the ground, he quickly moved and held both of 'his' shoulders. He gazed down. The teenager's black hair was messy. The pair of big glasses 'he' was wearing was askance, revealing one of 'his' eyes. It was quite sharp. With just that, Luo Ren could tell that the teenager was quite handsome. But that one eye was now looking at him in bewilderment.
It actually kind of looked adorable in a way.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Before the tall teenager could answer him, he heard his brother's voice filled with confusion.
"Brother?"
With Luo Yan's voice, Yu Jiao seemed to wake up from her reverie and quickly stood up and moved a few steps away from the man Luo Yan called 'Brother'.
Luo Ren glanced at Luo Yan. "Let's talk later," he said gently.
Yu Jiao was surprised to see the cold man looked at Luo Yan so gently. It's like the coldness in his eyes thawed the moment he saw Luo Yan. Now, she was certain that this man was no doubt Luo Yan's elder brother.
When Luo Ren turned to the two people, who upon closer inspection were actually high school students as well, the air around him completely changed. If he was like a spring breeze while looking at Luo Yan, then he was now comparable to the ice age when facing the other two. He was staring at the two teenagers as if they were a pair of worms he could easily crush under his feet.
The two felt chills down their spine. Cold sweat started flowing down their back. They could even feel their knees shaking. Just what was this? Who was this person?
Luo Ren raised his phone and took a photo of the two.
"W-what did you that for?" one asked after piling up all his courage.
"Nothing much. I'm just going to use this picture to search for the identity of you two. Then I'm going to call your school and tell them what good students you two are," Luo Ren said sarcastically. Then he smiled. Or at least it was supposed to be a smile, if not for the coldness swirling in his eyes. "I suspect you'll get a suspension warning the day after tomorrow. It's best to ready yourself for that. Maybe if you cry enough to your school's principal, he might let you go."
"You- you- you--!"
"L-let's go! We don't have time to talk to a crazy person anyway!" one of the two said, pulling his friend away.
And the two ran away as if they were being chased by a crazed axed murderer.
