Chapter 310 - TEASING OVER THE PHONE
Chapter 310 – TEASING OVER THE PHONE
LUO YAN didn't hesitate to accept the request. Shen Ji Yun's handsome face quickly appeared on the screen. He quickly noticed some leaves on the background, as well as some branches.
"Brother Ji Yun, are you sitting on top of a tree?" he couldn't help asking.
"Yeah," Shen Ji Yun answered with a yawn. "I came a bit early for my next class. So, I decided to take a nap for a while. But I couldn't sleep, so I just called you."
"Maybe if you pick a more comfortable place to take a nap, you would be able to sleep immediately," Luo Yan said in a teasing voice.
"This is comfortable though."
Luo Yan chuckled. This kind of reminded him of the first time they met. Shen Ji Yun suddenly jumped out of the tree to help him deal with that pervert. He was probably also taking a nap then.
"Yes, yes, Brother Ji Yun is like a forest nymph who loves hanging on trees," he said.
"Hmm… isn't that analogy a bit wrong?"
"In what way?"
"Because aren't monkeys the ones who love hanging on trees?" Shen Ji Yun answered with a serious expression on his face.
Luo Yan didn't know if he should laugh or cry because of that. Really, out of all the possible things he could say. And he said it too as if he wasn't joking at all. Well, knowing him, maybe he really wasn't.
"Brother Ji Yun, someone as handsome as you couldn't be compared to a monkey," he also said in an equally serious manner.
Then he saw the person on the other side of the screen froze. It's like even his sleepiness disappeared. Then, even though the other tried to hide it, Luo Yan still saw that his cheeks had a touch of blush in them.
"Yan Yan thinks I'm handsome?" Shen Ji Yun asked with no expression on his face.
But in Luo Yan's eyes, he looked like a shy maiden. You know, like one of those anime girls who's fidgeting while asking the male lead – 'do you think I'm pretty?'.
"I'm sure Brother Ji Yun can look himself at the mirror and know the answer immediately," he just said.
"But I want to hear it from Yan Yan," Shen Ji Yun said like he was sulking.
Luo Yan almost couldn't maintain his smile. Was this guy's Casanova tendencies awaken again? Or maybe he just had too much courage because they were talking to each other over the phone and not facing each other for real? He suddenly wanted to bully him. It's not right that Shen Ji Yun could give him all these fatal attacks without even knowing it.
So, he smiled at the screen. "Brother Ji Yun is very handsome."
But he, himself, didn't realize that the smile he gave was his real smile. That's why its lethality was even more potent. So, it's no wonder that Shen Ji Yun's whole face turned red.
Luo Yan should be happy that his attack was successful. But seeing the other's profusely blushing face, his heart just felt itchy. Because neither of them talked after that, the atmosphere quickly stagnated. While thinking of how to change that, the door of the library suddenly opened and a voice interrupted them, quickly breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"Yan Yan, why aren't you going out yet?" asked Yu Jiao who came back when she noticed that Luo Yan was not following behind her.
Of course, this voice was heard by the person on the other side of the screen. Luo Yan saw how quickly Shen Ji Yun's face returned to normal because of that.
"Who's that?" he asked.
"Ah…" Luo Yan was thinking if he should lie. Because if he told the truth, this old vinegar jar would surely turn over again. But then he thought, why did he have to lie? It's not like he's doing something wrong. Besides, telling a lie would be like him denying Yu Jiao's presence. So, he simply told the truth.
"It's Jiao Jiao."
Shen Ji Yun's face became even more expressionless. If he was beside him right now, he would definitely feel a cold atmosphere, as if it was already the coldest day of winter.
When Luo Yan thought that the other would ask why Yu Jiao was here, he said instead, "I see."
Because of that, he suddenly remembered that 'I see' message he sent him when he told him yesterday that he would hang out with Yu Jiao. The way he said it, with no emotion whatsoever, was exactly how he imagined his tone when he typed that message.
"It's time for my class. I'll see you in Arcadia."
Then Shen Ji Yun hung up the phone.
Luo Yan stared at the blank screen. [He hung up on me?]
Yu Jiao, who was waiting near the door, heard the last part of the conversating. So, she heard the voice of the person Luo Yan was talking to. Somehow, she felt like she had heard it before. Then he quickly realized who it was when he heard the person said the phrase; 'I'll see you in Arcadia'.
It must be the captain of Yunyue.
She didn't expect that Luo Yan and the captain of that team would be close enough to exchange video calls. Well, if she thought about it, it would be much weirder for them to be not close when the two were in the same team.
Seeing that Luo Yan was just standing there with a blank face, staring at the screen of his phone, she couldn't help but asked, "Yan Yan, are you okay? Did I perhaps interrupt your call?"
Yu Jiao's voice seemed to awaken Luo Yan. He was still a bit shock from Shen Ji Yun hanging up on him. Okay, he didn't exactly hang up. After all, he did say goodbye. But from his cold attitude, it was almost the same.
He put his phone back in his pocket and turned to Yu Jiao. "No, it's okay." He walked beside her. "Let's continue our tour?"
"Okay."
As they walked out of the library, there was only one thought in his mind. That guy wouldn't be sulking, right?
