Chapter 168 – QUICKENING OF HIS HEARTBEAT
"VERY good, student Luo," praised Wu Hai after checking the answer written by Luo Yan on the board and confirming that it was correct. He must say that he was truly impressed by this kid. After a week of observing him, Wu Hai could confidently say that the kid must really be some kind of genius. No matter what kind of question was thrown at him, he could answer it perfectly. Just like what he did just now. "You can go back to your seat."
Luo Yan smiled at Teacher Wu and then walked back to his seat. After sitting down, he, again, pretended to be diligently listening to the teacher's lecture. Math had always been his best subject. So even if he didn't listen to the teacher, he'd still be able to answer any question he would throw at him. Like what he just did earlier.
He covered his mouth with his hand so no one would see him yawn. Truthfully, right now, he just wanted to lie down on his big bed, hug his big stuff bear, and just sleep. It was because he slept very late last night. Or was it this morning? It's the first time since his rebirth that he stayed up so late.
It's because he'd been editing the video advertisement he's going to give to the NPC Iris later. He spent hours just to make sure that it would be perfect.
He shot everything at his new acquired land and, of course, at Yuexing Pavilion. Yes, he had already put up the pavilion on the land by the recreational garden. Just like what the King of Arcadia said when he gave him the pavilion, Luo Yan only had to place the transparent globe over the land and it would magically appear there. And it did. It started off with the miniature version of the pavilion. Then it became bigger and bigger until it returned to its original size.
He probably wouldn't have done that if not for the special feature attached to being the land owner. As the owner, he could set up a ban that would forbid other players from entering his land. He could even set it up in a way that anything he built on the land would appear invisible to anyone's eyes aside from him. So he did just that. He couldn't possibly let other players see his pavilion before its opening.
Speaking of his pavilion, when he entered it so he could shoot some promotional video, he was surprised to find that Madam Ru was there. Her position was the pavilion's manager. Even that girl Guiying was there as one of the courtesans. Based on the way they were acting, it seemed like they had no memory of what happened at the blue door. They only knew him as the owner of the pavilion, treating him with utmost respect. Not only them but also all the NPCs that worked there.
Luo Yan must say, he was real glad that all of his employees were NPCs. This way, he wouldn't have to worry that one of them might double-crossed him in the future.
He raised his hand to cover another yawn.
Needless to say, he was extremely satisfied and proud of the video he made. It's the proof that his video editing skills hadn't deteriorated. That video would definitely attract a lot of would be customers. He even appeared in it, so it better be.
Math period ended and the next began right after. It's Chemistry and they needed to go to the lab located on the first floor.
Luo Yan was quickly surrounded by three of his female classmates. The same three who first approached him during the first day of school. Their names were Kong Wenqian, Zeng Meirong, and Tang Lanfen. And the four of them walked together.
During the past week, these three were the ones who mostly spent time with him. The three were like the 'it' girls of the class. Since the three already identify him as one of their 'clique', their other classmates no longer tried to surround him as often as they did during the first few days of school.
Although it's weird that he now apparently belonged to a 'girl clique', he didn't mind it that much. With the face he currently had, it's better to hang out with girls than boys. What if one of those boys accidentally fell for him? It wouldn't be that impossible since he's this pretty after all. He didn't want to accidentally bend any of them or anything. Though the chances of that happening was pretty low, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Xiao Yan," Tang Lanfen called. And yes, that's what these three girls were calling him. "Your eyes are a bit red. There are even dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well?"
He smiled. "I was studying late last night."
"Xiao Yan, you shouldn't stay up late," Zeng Meirong said. "It would ruin your perfect skin!"
"That's right!" Kong Wenqian vehemently agreed. "There's no need for you to study so late. You're always able to answer all the teachers' questions easily. You're already so smart."
Luo Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of their reaction. "But I was only able to do that because I was studying really hard. If I don't, then I won't be able to catch up with the people in the class." He lowered his head and acted all sad. "I don't want to be kicked out of the class because I couldn't keep up with everyone."
Looking at Luo Yan with his gazed down and his long eyelashes fanning his cheeks, the three girls felt like they just did something bad. And so, they immediately made amends.
"How could you be kicked out?"
"Yes, we won't allow it."
"So don't be sad, okay, Xiao Yan?"
It was at this moment that Huang Wen passed by the four. He also happened to hear what Luo Yan said last. So he couldn't help but glanced at him. His head was down and there was a sad expression on his face. Was this guy about to cry? Just when Huang Wen thought that, Luo Yan raised his head and smiled at the three girls surrounding him and trying their best to console him.
It so happened that he glanced at his direction. When Luo Yan smiled at him, he immediately turned his gaze away and walked faster. Seriously, there was definitely something wrong with that brat. That's what he thought, completely disregarding the momentarily quickening of his heartbeat.
