"MY name is Yu Jiao," Yu Jiao continued.
Luo Yan glanced surprisingly at the girl.He didn’t expect that she would introduce herself and say her name on her own accord.He looked down and saw her tightly clenched hands.It seemed like she was still very nervous.But since she introduced herself without him encouraging her, that meant that she was trying her best to overcome her own nervousness.Which was already a very big step forward for her.
He was happy to know that Yu Jiao was trying her best to change her timid nature.Since he decided to be friends with her, of course, he wanted her to be more confident of herself.She was such a talented and kind girl.It would be such a waste if she couldn’t even be at least proud of herself.
This was also the reason why he wanted her to meet his team mates.Because he believed that they would be a good influence on her.He was hoping that they could help her slowly get out of her own shell.So that one day, she could stand in front of people with her chin high and without her averting her gaze from them.
Since Yu Jiao already took the initiative to introduce herself using her real name, Luo Yan was hoping that the others would also do the same.The three didn’t disappoint him and also introduced themselves.
"Shen Ji Yun."
"Su Yuqi.Nice to meet you," Su Yuqi said nodding towards Yu Jiao.
Luo Yan almost had a black line on his face when he heard the introduction of the two.Especially Shen Ji Yun.At least Su Yuqi said ’nice to meet you’.
"My name is Bai Ze, I’m Xiao Yan’s older cousin," Bai Ze said introducing himself with gusto."Since you’re Xiao Yan’s classmate, that means you’re younger.So, please, feel free to call me ’Brother Ze’."
Luo Yan finally let out a sigh of relief.His cousin was still more reliable compared to the other two when it came to things like this.
"N-no.How could I?" Yu Jiao immediately said when she heard White Marsh – no, Bai Ze said that she could call him brother.
"It’s alright, Jiao Jiao.They were all two or three years older than us, so it’s okay to address them as ’brother’ and ’sister’," Luo Yan said assuring Yu Jiao.
"Xiao Yan is right," Bai Ze agreed.
"I have no problem with that," Su Yuqi followed.
The only one who didn’t say anything was Shen Ji Yun.It was because he was still immersed on the part where Luo Yan called the girl ’Jiao Jiao’.Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind because of that simple call.Add that to the fact the Luo Yan was obviously taking care of her a little bit too much and it just added to the chaos in his mind.
Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun.Seeing him not reacting with that cold, handsome, expressionless face of his, he suddenly had a bad hunch.Surely, this guy was not really eating Yu Jiao’s vinegar, right?Because this was hardly the time for that.
"Brother Ji Yun," he called.And when the other turned to him, he continued, "You don’t mind if Jiao Jiao called you ’brother’, right?"
Luo Yan was smiling but Shen Ji Yun felt that the other was threatening him.That if he didn’t agree, there would be hell to pay.He subconsciously straightened his back and answered without much thought, "Yes."
Luo Jin saw his brother’s dark smile and he looked smugly at Shen Ji Yun.It’s better if this guy continued to show a bad impression to his brother.That way, Luo Yan would be more guarded against him.
Luo Yan was finally satisfied when he heard Shen Ji Yun’s answer.He turned to Yu Jiao."See, I told you they’re all friendly."
Yu Jiao had a feeling that YUN, no, this Shen Ji Yun was only forced to agree because of Luo Yan.Which she didn’t really mind.Because she had no plans to call them that.How could she when they only barely met.
"N-no, it’s really okay.I- I can just call them Seniors.That is, if you all don’t mind," she said that last part with an almost inaudible voice and with her gaze down.
Su Yuqi raised her brow when she saw the way the girl was acting.Now she suddenly understood why Luo Jin described her as a ’timid giraffe’.She was simply radiating with nervousness.Su Yuqi didn’t thought of her that way when she met Vulcan before.Although the other barely even spoke, she thought that the Blacksmith was just like her – indifferent.Now, with Yu Jiao’s series of actions since she entered the room, she quickly understood that she was not indifferent, she was simply being shy.
It never crossed Su Yuqi’s mind that the other might just be faking it.She trusted Luo Yan’s judgement.She believed that he wouldn’t befriend someone with a problematic character.Not to mention, Luo Jin was still there.This guy would never allow someone with a bad personality to get close to his dear brother.
One of the reasons someone could develop a timid personality was because they felt very insecure growing up.A lot of factors could go along with that.Family background, their environment, the way they were raised, etc.Su Yuqi didn’t really care much about that.But since they were both girls and the other were friends with Luo Yan, she decided to take more care of her.
"Come and sit down, both of you," she said.
Luo Yan’s eyes brightened when he heard what Su Yuqi said.It seemed like she was willing to befriend Yu Jiao."Yes, let’s go and sit." contemporary romance
He gently pulled Yu Jiao towards the empty seat on the left of Su Yuqi.The only empty seat remaining was beside Shen Ji Yun.So, he sat there.
He glanced sideways at Shen Ji Yun.There was still no expression on his overly handsome face.But Luo Yan could tell that there were probably a lot of stupid thoughts swirling in his mind right now.He shook his head.What if those thoughts affected Yu Jiao?Of course, he couldn’t let that happen.
So, he leaned towards Shen Ji Yun and whispered on his ear, "Brother Ji Yun, please be good to Jiao Jiao, okay?"
Shen Ji Yun only felt Luo Yan’s soft breath blowing on his ear.And his mind immediately went blank.
