Chapter 538: someone's revenge

LUO YAN stared at Shen Ji Yun on the opposite screen.  In his eyes right now, the other looked like a cute beaten-up puppy.  It made him want to bully the other more.  But he stopped himself in time before he really did that.

If he bullied him and acted like he was really angry by this incident, he was sure that Shen Ji Yun would probably experience a mental shock.  Maybe the other would even have red eyes and cry in front of him directly.  Although he really wanted to see him cry, but not in the pretext that he would think that he hated him. 

There were still a lot of opportunity to see the other cry.  The best one would probably be bullying him on the bed.  Just imagining Shen Ji Yun lying on a soft bed, looking at him with tears in his eyes as if aggrieved was already making him feel excited.  In fact, he was so excited that he felt he would have a nosebleed just thinking of that scene.

He quickly shook his head and put those dirty thoughts away.  He had to remember that this body was still a minor and still not healthy enough.  He's still a teenager.  He's at the stage where his hormones were raging.  If he continued to think of things like that, it would definitely just make him feel frustrated.

Luo Yan cleared his throat.  His mind was already as clean and pure as that of a Buddha.  He smiled at Shen Ji Yun.

"I know that Brother Ji Yun did it for my sake.  So, you should not blame yourself," he said.  "Besides, the effect wasn't really that bad.  Most of the comments were positive.  And now, people won't associate Noctis with that live streamer mentioned in that article."

And the fact that Shen Ji Yun readily apologized to him the moment he thought that he did something wrong was something to be proud of.  It seemed like the two of them really had gone a long way.  More than finally solving this Raphael situation, this development made Luo Yan much happier.

Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yan and when he saw that the other was indeed not angry, he finally let out a sigh of relief.  But because of this incident, he promised to himself that he would be much more careful on how he handled things.  Especially when it involved his rabbit.

"Is Yan Yan going to sleep now?" he asked, tentatively. 

He actually wanted to chat more with the other.  But he knew that Luo Yan still had school tomorrow.  Being a third-year high school student, he's probably much busier than him, a junior in college.

Luo Yan glanced at the clock on his wall.  It was just 15 minutes after nine o'clock.  It's fine to stay awake until 10 in the evening.  Even if that was not the case, he probably would still give the other the same answer.  After all, Shen Ji Yun looked like he really wanted to talk to him more.  How could he disappoint this sweetheart of his?

"No, I can still talk to Brother Ji Yun until 10," he said, his peach blossom eyes bent into crescents. 

Just as he thought, Shen Ji Yun's face just bloomed the moment he said that.  And a beautiful smile appeared on his handsome face.  As if a kid given the most wonderful treat. 

Luo Yan's smile also became uncontrollable.  Look, his cinnamon roll was so cute.  Could there be anyone more adorable than him?

Lan Yun stared at the comments on Weibo with bloodshot eyes.  If he could, he truly wanted to just beat the crap out of that Noctis.  No, not just him, but everyone in Yunyue.  Because he was absolutely certain that those people in that pavilion were members of Yunyue. 

Everything was carefully planned.  From tempting him to attend the so-called 'gambling event' to putting him in that pavilion.  All so they could extract a confession from him.  Seeing how things turned out, they succeeded perfectly in ruining him.

Not only that, even Moonlight Media had already spoken.  If he made any counterattack now, it would only have a negative impact on him.  He first wondered why Moonlight Media would speak for Noctis.  But when he read some comments saying that he probably paid someone in Moonlight Media or that he's probably related to that company's president, he felt that the latter was more plausible.

If that was indeed the case, then he probably just kicked an iron plate.  Because no matter how much he tried to paint himself as the innocent party and Noctis was the one who was deliberately blackening him, with such a powerful backer, it would definitely not come into fruition.  Maybe his white lotus reputation would even be more widespread if he did that.

The only consolation he had in this matter was the fact that the face of Li Xu Min's game avatar was not exposed to the public.  Even his game name was not mentioned.  This way, people who had watched the video didn't know that he actually did all that for Li Xu Min.  With luck, maybe Li Xu Min also wouldn't find out about it. 

Even if he could no longer use his Angel game account, maybe he could still do a successful turnabout.  As long as he and Li Xu Min were in the same country, he could definitely find a way to get close to him.  He just needed to be patient.

Just as he was thinking of that, a maid suddenly called him and told him that his father wanted to speak to him and was waiting for him in his study.  Although he was a bit confused on why his father wanted to speak to him, he still walked out of his room and went directly to the study.

"Is there something, Dad?" he asked.

His father put down the paper he was reading and looked at him with a frown.  With that look, he could immediately tell that there's a problem.  It was confirmed by the words said by his father next.

"You will withdraw from university this week and continue your study abroad."

Lan Yu felt like his whole world just collapsed when he heard that. 

"Why?" he shouted.  "No, I don't want to!"

His father slapped the table in front of him, producing a loud and scary sound.  "Who told you to offend one of Zhong family's young master?"

When he received a call earlier from a trusted aide of that family, he almost couldn't keep his composure.  His political career was on the rise.  If a famous military family like the Zhong family dealt with him, then being in a higher office would definitely just be a dream for him.

And yet this son, who he thought was very smart, suddenly offended a young master from the said family.  How could he not be angry?  The only way he could think of to pacify the other party was to send this son abroad. 

Hearing what his father said, Lan Yu was even more dumbfounded.  What Zhong family?  How could he suddenly--  Then he stopped.  Could it be possible that Noctis was actually a young master from the Zhong family?

Thinking that he probably discovered the truth, he just wanted to cry bitter tears.  The other's revenge on him was really too much.  How could he be so heartless?
