Chapter 956: JIAO JIAO'S BIRTHDAY (II)

Luo Ren felt an indescribable irritation. He wanted to pull those girls away from Yu Jiao. He knew all too well what this feeling was. Yes, it was the classic symptom of jealousy.      

People might say that he was overreacting. After all, those were girls and not boys. But in his mind, there's no difference between the two. For him, a girl could be equally threatening as a boy when it came to his possible relationship with Yu Jiao.      

With Luo Yan falling in love with someone of the same gender, he was hit hard by the reality that there was not only one type of romantic relationship out there. Two people of the same sex could be in love and have a relationship like that of a man and a woman.      

Of course, he knew that those types of relationships existed. It probably had been existing since ancient times. It's just that, he didn't think much of it because he felt that it was something that's unrelated to him. And then, Luo Yan fell in love with a boy and was now in relationship with him.    

Luo Ren was suddenly faced by this sudden reality. Of course, it's not something he's against with. Even if Luo Yan brought a girl, he would probably still react the same way he did with Shen Ji Yun.      

Although he had already reluctantly accepted their relationship, it didn't mean that he would be happy to have a girl as a rival. Actually, he wouldn't be happy to have anyone as a rival.      

He sighed. It seemed that he had truly fallen too deep in this pit called love.      

Luo Ren shook his head and replied to the message his brother had sent.      

[Yan Yan, sometimes, you really are insufferable.]    

He received a quick reply from the other.    

[Love you, Brother!]    

Luo Ren laughed seeing that. He was about to put down his phone when he thought of something. He opened Luo Yan's message again and saved Yu Jiao's pictures. After that, he cropped out the girls so that Yu Jiao would be the only one on the pictures. He hardly had any pictures of Yu Jiao in his phone. So, he should save all the pictures he could get.      

After doing that, his irritation died down a little. He put down his phone. He couldn't wait for dinner to come. Because he would finally see Yu Jiao again.    

----------    

The day passed by in a flash and class ended.      

Luo Yan got up and was about to walk to Yu Jiao's table, but had to stop abruptly because he almost bumped into someone.      

"Oh, sorry," he said reflexively.    

When he raised his head, he was a bit startled when he saw that it was Huang Wen. But it was only momentarily. Contrary to him though, the other hardened and just bowed  his head slightly before walking out of the classroom.    

Luo Yan glanced at the other's back. Frankly, he was a bit surprised when he saw Huang Wen up close. He didn't give him that much attention after that confession. Because treating someone kindly after rejecting them was just cruel in Luo Yan's opinion. If you had to put an end to their hope, then you should do it thoroughly.    

That's why this was the first time he really paid attention to the other. Huang Wen had dark circles under his eyes, they even looked bloodshot as if he hadn't slept for days. Luo Yan was sure it's not because he rejected him. It was most likely due to Ying Chen still ignoring the other.      

He shrugged. Not his problem. Then, he continued walking towards Yu Jiao. She just stood up and was carrying a huge paper bag with gifts in them.      

"Want me to carry it for you?" he asked referring to the paper bag.    

"It's fine, it's not that heavy," Yu Jiao said.    

As the two of them walked out of the classroom, their classmates greeted them and said goodbye.      

"Yan Yan, are you and Huang Wen fighting?" Yu Jiao asked in a low voice after they got off the classroom.        

She accidentally noticed how the two interacted earlier. Although Huang Wen and Luo Yan didn't have the best start out there, their relationship had been getting better for the past few months. That's why she felt weird seeing Huang Wen's reaction to Luo Yan earlier.      

And it was only then that she realized that the other had been reacting like that towards Luo Yan for, maybe, more than a week now. So, she couldn't help but think that the two had a problem.    

"No, we're not fighting," Luo Yan said. "He probably just felt awkward around me right now. Just give him a few more days and he would probably act normally around me again."    

"But why would he feel awkward around you?" Yu Jiao asked, confused.    

Ah, right. Luo Yan hadn't yet told Yu Jiao about that thing with Huang Wen. Well, the situation with Ying Chen happened right after that he completely forgot about it. So, he answered Yu Jiao without hesitation, not even considering not telling her of that situation.    

"He confessed to me and I rejected him," he whispered.      

Yu Jiao almost let got of the paper bag she's holding because of what she heard. But after she quickly calmed down, she thought, was that even surprising? This was Luo Yan. If the other said that some Hollywood superstar confessed to him, she would still believe him.    

Because really, who could resist Luo Yan's charm?    

More than that, there's a much more important problem to be discussed. "Does Shen Ji Yun know?"    

Luo Yan nodded. "I told him about it. After all, communication is the key to any relationship."    

Yu Jiao felt admiration for the other when she heard that. Because she knew that if she was in his position, she probably couldn't easily say that to her significant other.
