Chapter 604: a big thumbs up

LUO YAN stared at the gauze on the side of Yu Jiao's forehead.  "Is it really alright for you to be discharged of the hospital so soon?"

Yu Jiao gazed down at Luo Yan, the other's nose was all crumpled.  She couldn't help but think that the other was really just too cute.  "Yan Yan, I'm fine, really.  It doesn't even hurt anymore.  Besides, we've already out of the hospital for more than hour now," she said in an amused tone.

After being discharged, Luo Yan offered to take them to the address of the apartment building that Luo Ren's assistant had mentioned when he visited the hospital earlier.  There's really no reason to refuse.  They had already accepted their help in looking for an apartment.  Refusing a car ride seemed to be a bit hypocritical.

Before this, they all went to a restaurant first to have lunch.  And now, they were in the lobby of the apartment building.  She, Luo Yan, and Luo Jin were waiting here while her mother was talking with the building manager.

She looked around the building.  It was not that big of a building.  In fact, rather than a building, it looked like a big mansion.  There was a garden in the front.  The building had a vintage feel to it.  Not the kind that old and rickety but the kind that was beautiful and well-maintained. 

The apartment building was also located in a safe community.  It's not only close to Guizu Academy, there was also a small grocery store nearby.  The place was definitely chosen with care.  Although she knew that it was the credit of Mr. Assistant, she couldn't help but feel that the other worked so hard to find this place was because of Luo Ren. 

Yu Jiao wondered how she could thank him.  Not only him.  She looked at Luo Yan once again.  This adorable friend of hers too.

Luo Yan was still not convinced that Yu Jiao should be out of the hospital this soon.  But what could he do when the one involved didn't think the same?  Anyway, Yu Jiao was with her mother.  He was sure that the other wouldn't let Yu Jiao's wound be aggravated. 

"Ah, by the way, you don't have to worry about that Mo Jian anymore," he said before he forgot.  "I think she would no longer bother you from now on."

Yu Jiao felt confused by what the other said.  Did Luo Yan say that because her mother and Uncle Mo were about to divorce?  But even if that was the case, Mo Jian would still definitely not let her be.  That's just the way she was.  She was sure that the other would definitely try something once they both returned to school.

She decided to just directly asked Luo Yan what he meant.  But before she could, she saw her mother walking towards their direction.  Based on her expression, she seemed to be very satisfied with her talk with the building manager.

"Jiao Jiao, the unit showed to me by the manager is really good.  It's a two-bedroom unit with a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom.  It's already fully furnished so we don't have to worry about buying appliances and the likes.  It even has a smart lock on the door.  But most importantly, the rent is very reasonable," Ji Xiuying said very excitedly.

She actually expected the place to be a bit pricey.  Especially after seeing the building's good location, as well as the well-maintained unit.  But according to the manager, the original owner of the unit had to suddenly travel abroad.  They would be staying there for two years.

Because it was all too sudden, they didn't have time to deal with their unit.  So, they could only ask the manager to rent it as soon as possible.  And that he could even lower the price if needed. 

Ji Xiuying just felt that they were lucky.  Even if the owner returned after two years, Yu Jiao would have already graduated by then.  Once her daughter was in college, she could simply look for a smaller place. 

Anyway, this apartment being affordable would really be a big help in their finances.  Then, she only had to look for a job next.  Even though Yu Jiao told her about her part-time job where she earned a lot.  That was still her daughter's money.  As much as possible, she didn't want to touch that.

"That's great, Mom!" Yu Jiao responded to what her mother just said, equally happy and excited.

Seeing the mother and daughter pair like this, Luo Yan could only secretly shake his head.  Because, once again, he had a feeling that his older brother had something to do on why the rent of this apartment unit was so 'reasonable'.

Once again, a big thumbs up to you, Big Brother.

"Jiao Jiao, you're going to take a leave for tomorrow's class, right?" he asked after the emotion of the two subsided a bit.

Yu Jiao turned to Luo Yan.  The other looked like he would scold her if she said that she would go to school tomorrow.  It made her want to chuckle a bit.  Actually, she was indeed thinking of still attending class tomorrow.  Because she was really feeling fine. 

But seeing Luo Yan's reaction, it's probably better to take a rest for one or two days.  Besides, her mother would also not approve of her attending class so soon.  Especially after what happened yesterday.  It was obvious that it gave her mother a scare.

"Yes, I don't plan to go to class tomorrow," she said, answering Luo Yan's question.

"Should I help you ask for leave?" 

"It's alright, Xiao Yan.  Auntie will call the call myself," Ji Xiuying said, smiling gently at Luo Yan.

"Okay, Auntie," Luo Yan smiled back.  "Then, since Auntie and Jiao Jiao already arrived here safely, Ah Jin and I will also return home."

Ji Xiuying nodded and said her thanks.  Yu Jiao did so as well.

After saying goodbye, the two Luo brothers walked out of the building.

"Yan, that apartment, was it our older brother's doing?" Luo Jin, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.

Luo Yan quickly understood what the other meant.  "Yup."  He turned to Luo Jin.  "Maybe once you decided to pursue Sister Yuqi, you can ask advice from our brother."

Luo Jin immediately turned red because of that.  "Yan--!"
