Chapter 931: SPINE-CHILLING SMILE
"WHAT?"Seeing the pleading expression on Luo Yan\'s face, Shen Ji Yun only realized that his expression must be pretty scary. He closed his eyes and controlled his emotions. He thought it would be easy, especially since it was something he had always done. But no, it\'s far from being easy.
Probably because the cause of this emotional shift was none other than Luo Yan. If it\'s something related to the other, then it\'s certain that he wouldn\'t be fully in control of his emotions. Especially more so now that he just heard that some other guy just confessed to Luo Yan.
Now everything became clearer. No wonder that Huang bastard was glaring daggers at him last night. It was not because he bore malice towards them, it\'s simply because he was jealous of Shen Ji Yun.
He should have known, better yet, he should have felt it. But no, the thought that the other might like Luo Yan never crossed his mind. That was his mistake.
No, maybe he did feel it subconsciously. It was why he was uncomfortable when he saw that guy and Luo Yan standing together at the school gate. Why he disliked the other for no reason at all. Because his instinct was already telling him that the guy had those kinds of feelings for Luo Yan.
Truly, it should not even come off as a surprise. Luo Yan was smart, beautiful, charming, kind, thoughtful. He possessed everything that a person could like in another person. He was simply perfection itself. People not falling for him left and right was actually much weirder, now that he thought about it.
That Huang guy would certainly not be the last person to confess to Luo Yan like this. There would be another person. And another. And another. Because that\'s just how wonderful Luo Yan was.
Shen Ji Yun couldn\'t possibly react like this every time that happened. He\'s older, he should be the more mature one. But damn if his feelings could agree.
He took a deep breathe and opened his eyes.
Worrying like this wouldn\'t change anything. Because there\'s really only one thing he could do. It\'s to make sure that Luo Yan would stay in love with him. That way, no matter what kind of person would try to get between them in the future, Luo Yan would always choose him.
He squeezed back Luo Yan\'s hand and tried to show a small smile. "I\'m not angry."
Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yun\'s face. The smile on his face was stiff. It didn\'t even reach his eyes. The same with the cold air around him. It still lingered despite him saying that he\'s not angry. Luo Yan smiled helplessly.
"Yes, you are. And I won\'t think less of you for it. In fact, I would be very angry if you\'re not," he said. "You not feeling okay about someone confessing to me meant that you love me. And I\'d rather have that than you not caring at all."
"I will always care," Shen Ji Yun said in a soft voice. "Especially when it came to you."
Luo Yan intertwined their fingers together. "I know. And I you."
Shen Ji Yun raised their hands intertwined together and kissed the back of Luo Yan\'s hand. "So, aside from that guy confessing to you, how did the rest of your conversation went?"
Luo Yan chuckled because of the way the other mentioned the confession part. He said it in a grudging tone, obviously still very annoyed that something like that happened.
"I told you, it went well," he said. "No threatening, no blackmailing involved. It\'s a clear-cut conversation."
"Only because he likes you," Shen Ji Yun grumbled. "But what would happen if that turned into hate? You rejected him after all. And there\'s a very fine line between love and hate."
"First, I wouldn\'t go as far as to say that he loves me. Like, yes. But love? Nah. And second, he\'s a decent guy. I have a good eye for people. I know when someone is a trash or if someone is on the way of being a trash. And Huang Wen is not both."
After Luo Yan said that, an unbelievable thing happened. Shen Ji Yun pouted. Yes, he pouted! His lips puckered in that way that people\'s lips do when they pout. It was so adorable that he was filled the intense desire to kiss the other.
"You sure have a lot of trust in him," Shen Ji Yun said, or rather mumbled in annoyance.
Luo Yan smiled and no longer held himself back. He kissed those puckered lips. "Don\'t be jealous. You\'re my one and only. There\'s no need to compare yourself with others. Because at the end of the day, in my heart, they wouldn\'t even compare to a single nail on your toes."
Hearing that, Shen Ji Yun was pacified. Not fully, but enough. Then, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"If- if someone confessed to me, what will your reaction be?" he asked.
Luo Yan was startled by the question. And then, he smiled. "Well, that all depends on what your reaction to the confession would be. If you give a clear rejection with no room for misunderstanding, then I would say good job. If it\'s the opposite, then..." His smile became even sweeter. "Well, the two of us would have a very, very long talk."
Somehow, Shen Ji Yun felt a chill down his spine just by seeing that smile.
