The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 298 - A MUCH SWEETER SMILE



LUO YAN finally finished answering the last question from the exam paper. He reviewed his answers twice before submitting his exam paper to the teacher acting as the exam's invigilator. 

This was the last subject for today's exam. Which meant that after submitting his exam paper, Luo Yan could go home. He walked back to his desk and after picking up his bag, he glanced at Yu Jiao. The other also happened to look in his direction. He smiled as if silently telling her that he would go first and they would meet later. Yu Jiao nodded as if understanding what he wanted to convey. No one noticed this little interaction because everyone was busy answering their exam papers.

Luo Yan walked out of the classroom in a good mood. He and Yu Jiao were planning to go to a café called Sweet Escape. When he said to Yu Jiao during lunch that he would treat her later, he searched for a place where they could eat. He specifically searched for a place that was not too far but also not too near the school. It was also better if it's not a place that these bunch of blue bloods and rich second generation would frequent. This way, no one would see him and Yu Jiao together.

Although he didn't really mind to be seen with her. If others knew they were friends, some people with bad heart might target Yu Jiao. Guizhu Academy doesn't condone bullying. But there would still be students who managed to get away with it. Especially if the object of being bullied were those scholarship students. Some of the teachers never intervene with this thing. After all, most of the identities of students here were those they couldn't afford to offend.

But he had a suspicion that the real reason why Yu Jiao didn't want to be seen with him or his brother was because she simply didn't want to be the center of attention. Because he knew how thin-skinned Yu Jiao was.

Luo Yan finally chose Sweet Escape because this café was almost like a chain of fast food restaurant café version. There were many branches across S City. It's a favorite hanging spot of a lot of young people. Of course, most of the students here would never enter establishments like that. No matter how trendy or popular it might be. In their opinion, only those who couldn't afford to enter a high-class café would go to such a place. They would probably not even imagine that the second young master of the Luo family would go there. 

Deciding on the place, he told Yu Jiao that he would wait for her in his family's car in the parking lot a little bit far away from the teaching buildings. He didn't want to wait for Yu Jiao outside. Because then, it would mean that she had to walk such a long distance. He was not worried even if someone saw Yu Jiao get in the car, they would not immediately assume that it was his. After all, the car he and Luo Jin traveled to and from school was just a simple black BMW. A lot of cars entering the school had the same model.

It was only a quarter before 4 in the afternoon. He believed that Yu Jiao would be able to finish answering her exam paper soon. Then they still had plenty of time to chat while eating sweets and drinking milk tea. 

It's just too bad that Luo Jin couldn't go with them. The other still had to remain in class until 5. He already called the other driver of the family and asked him to get Luo Jin later. 

Luo Yan just entered the elevator when he heard someone's call.

"Wait!"

He thought that the owner of the voice wanted him to stop the elevator so they could also go in. So, that's what he did. He pressed the 'stop' button on the elevator. But he never expected that this person turned out to be Huang Wen.

He had a somewhat bad impression of him because of how antagonistic he was to him on the first day of school. Since then, the other always sneered or glared at him. He didn't take his action to heart. For him, Huang Wen was just a brat with attitude problem. It was not until that incident, where Huang Wen stopped his friend from hurting him and even reprimanded the other, that Luo Yan discovered that he wasn't that bad. Huang Wen might be a brat but at least in important matters, he still knew how to judge things correctly.

Since then, Luo Yan became more amiable to him. Although they couldn't really be considered as friends, at least the other no longer purposely finds his troubles. Luo Yan also greets him from time to time when he's in a good mood. Just like he was now. So, he raised his head and smiled at the other.

Huang Wen was startled. He didn't expect Luo Yan to smile at him so sweetly. He felt like he was suddenly dazzled by that smile. He even forgot momentarily why he called out to him. It was not until the elevator door closed that he remembered it. He almost cursed and, of course, he didn't forget to blame it on this guy. It was because of that overly beautiful face that could easily confuse others. Just why was a boy born with such a face? 

He shook his head and forced himself to throw those thoughts at the back of his head. He reached out his hand, the latest model of a high-end smartphone was on his palm. "You dropped this."

When Luo Yan saw the familiar phone, he quickly took it. Then he glanced back at his bag. He saw that the side pocket where he usually put his phone was slightly opened. He must have not properly closed it before the exam this afternoon started. So, when he walked out of the classroom, it fell off. He was probably too immersed in his own thoughts to notice it.

He smiled again at Huang Wen. "Thank you, classmate Huang."

Huang Wen only snorted.

Then Luo Yan felt his phone vibrating. It was a WeChat message notification. He opened it and read the message.

[luckycloud]: How was your exam?

Then it was followed by a cute rabbit sticker tilting his head to the side.

Luo Yan couldn't help the smile that crossed his lips when he read the message, especially when he saw the rabbit sticker.

Huang Wen happened to see this smile. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination. But he felt that this smile was very different from the two smiles Luo Yan gave him earlier. It was much gentler, happier, and… sweeter.
