"Where did Luo transfer from?"
"Could I get your contact information, Luo?"
………………
Faced with so many problems, Luo Chen said he didn't know what to do. Just as he was about to ask Yuno for help, he found that she had already fled the scene, and the desk in front of him was empty.
"That girl actually abandoned me and ran away. Just wait and see how I get back at her." Luo Chen gritted his teeth inwardly, but responded to everyone with a humble smile on his face.
Although Qianyu Academy is a prestigious school, it still has a predominantly female student body. With fewer men to begin with, the appearance of a strikingly handsome man like Luo Chen immediately piqued the girls' interest.
"Mei, look at that transfer student, she's quite pretty."
While Luo Chen was surrounded by the girls in his class, Raiden Mei and her friends did not come forward, but instead chatted in Raiden Mei's seat.
"Hmm, it is quite special." Raiden Mei replied casually, though she was holding a book in her hand, her eyes were constantly observing Luo Chen.
"It looks even better than last time," Raiden Mei thought, slowing down her flipping through the book.
"Mei, do you think he'll give you his contact information if you ask him for it?" A person standing next to Raiden Mei's table suggested to her after seeing many people being rejected: "Someone as beautiful as Mei will definitely be able to charm him."
"Not necessarily. I'm not that good either," Raiden Mei said modestly, though she was secretly delighted. After all, who doesn't like being complimented on their looks?
"How will you know if you don't try?" the man continued to persuade her, as if it were something that was bound to succeed.
"Alright then." Seeing that the people surrounding Luo Chen had dispersed, Raiden Mei readily agreed. She put down the book in her hand, stood up, and walked towards Luo Chen.
On the other side, after dealing with his classmates' questions, Luo Chen was sitting in his seat, pondering how to punish Yuno for abandoning her friend, when a clear voice suddenly entered his ears.
"Luo Chen, we meet again."
Luo Chen snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Raiden Mei standing next to his desk, and replied with a smile, "Yes, we meet again, Raiden-kun."
"Why aren't you calling me 'senior' this time?"
Hearing Luo Chen address her as he did, Raiden Mei teased him and used her hand to comb the hair on her right side into her right ear.
Seeing Raiden Mei's actions, Luo Chen's eyes froze for a moment, then he instantly came back to his senses, thinking to himself, "I can only say that Raiden Mei is truly worthy of the name; every move she makes is so appealing to my tastes."
"That time I didn't understand the situation, and in our Shenzhou tradition, when we need help from strangers, we call them elders. And senior sister didn't call me wrong, I skipped a grade, so I'm a year younger than Lei Dian."
"I see." Raiden Mei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Then she stated her purpose: "Could you please give me your contact information, Luo Chen?"
"Is she as Raiden Mei or as the young lady of ME Company?"
Luo Chen neither agreed nor refused, but said something that Raiden Mei didn't quite understand, causing her to frown slightly: "Why do you ask that?"
"It's still too simple."
Luo Chen sighed inwardly, while subtly glancing at Raiden Mei's "friends," and continued, "If it's Raiden Mei, I'd be happy to be friends with you. If it's the young lady from ME Company..."
At this point, Luo Chen stared directly into Raiden Mei's eyes, and Raiden Mei could only see a hint of coldness reflected in his gray pupils.
"I regret to decline; I do not have the habit of carrying shoes for others."
Hearing Luo Chen's explanation, even the well-educated Raiden Mei felt a surge of anger, as Luo Chen's words were tantamount to mockery. So she retorted, "I don't know why Luo Chen would say that, but isn't this a bit too much?"
"If my remarks just now caused any negative feelings in Raiden, then I apologize. But what I said was merely stating a fact. Among the people I've met who are in the same social class as Raiden, most of them treat their friends no differently than servants."
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I spoke to you like that without knowing the context."
Raiden Mei didn't question Luo Chen's explanation at all; how could a handsome boy lie? Then, Raiden Mei looked at Luo Chen with a sincere expression.
"I want to be friends with Luo Chen as Raiden Mei."
"I see." Luo Chen said, taking out his phone from the table and opening a chat app as he spoke, "That suits me perfectly. I only want to be friends with this version of you. As for the other version of you, to be honest, I'm not interested."
As he spoke, Luo Chen glanced at Raiden Mei's friends and saw that they were looking at him with dark faces, obviously having heard what Luo Chen said.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Raiden Mei's body trembled slightly, and she looked at him with some disbelief. From childhood to adulthood, there were countless people who deliberately approached her because of her identity, but Luo Chen was someone who openly expressed no interest in her identity. Although there had been one such instance before, it was a long time ago, so long that Raiden Mei had almost forgotten her past with that person.
"Don't look at me like that." Luo Chen shrugged habitually, put his phone back on the table with his right hand after adding Raiden Mei, adjusted his glasses with his left hand, and glanced at her sideways: "I've even met people from the three major European families. Being the young lady of ME Company is really nothing."
Although Raiden Mei was unaware of the situation in Europe, the name of the three major families sounded extraordinary, so she believed Luo Chen's words even more.
"Class is about to start, Raiden-kun, is there anything else you want to ask?" Luo Chen looked at Yuno, who was peeking in with half her head out, and turned to ask Raiden Mei.
“That’s all.” Raiden Mei shook her head, and following Luo Chen’s gaze, she saw Yuno looking at her: “I won’t disturb you and Sato-kun any longer.”
"Ok."
After Raiden Mei walked away, Luo Chen turned towards Yuno, looking at her with a friendly expression and waving. But she ran off without looking back.
"Never mind, I'll deal with you later."
"Mei, that Luo Chen doesn't look like a good person at all. You'd better not have too much contact with him."
On her way to the school gate, Raiden Mei heard someone beside her reminding her, and looked at her in confusion: "Why? Luo Chen is a really nice person."
"Don't be fooled by his smiling face; who knows what kind of person he is behind the scenes? Besides, he said he's not interested in Mei's identity, but who knows if that's true? I've seen plenty of people like him who say one thing and mean another..."
Seeing her friends constantly belittling Luo Chen, Raiden Mei wanted to speak up in rebuttal, but seeing that her car had arrived, she swallowed the words she was about to say, simply said goodbye to the group, and left alone.
"She's finally gone. If it weren't for my family wanting to build connections with ME Society, who would want to be friends with her?"
As soon as Raiden Mei left, the few people who remained looked disgusted, a stark contrast to their previous harmonious attitude.
"Even if, Sister Jiugong, what should we do about Luo Chen? The way he looked at us today made me feel very uncomfortable."
"What else can we do? Find a few people to take care of him, and that Sato Yuno who's with him too. It's disgusting to think that a commoner is going to school with us."
Kugimiya Tomoko spoke with a look of disgust, completely unaware that someone was standing behind her.
"Gossiping behind people's backs is something that you lackeys are capable of doing."
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Tomoko Kugimiya, startling everyone who turned around to look at the newcomer.
Luo Chen looked at the group expressionlessly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and slowly said, "You should be glad that Yuno isn't here, otherwise your fate would be much worse."
As he spoke, Luo Chen took the opportunity to unleash the aura he had learned from Kiyono Hatsuyuki some time ago, looking at Kugimiya Tomoko and the others as if they were a group of corpses.
Just as Jiugong Zhizi was about to lash out, she was silenced by Luo Chen's chilling aura and piercing gaze. She uttered only a hateful remark before hurriedly running away. Seeing their leader flee, the others also scurried away from Luo Chen's side.
Looks like I'm going to be busy lately.
Luo Chen withdrew his imposing aura, slowly walked towards the school gate, looked up at the magnificent golden gate, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go back."
Chapter 5 The Strange Young Ladies and the Speechless Boy
Weekend—what a wonderful word! For Luo Chen, a homebody, it was like a godsend. However, Luo Chen wasn't in his bed at home; instead, he was out on the street.
"Why is there no food left at home! I had to come all this way."
Luo Chen cursed himself in his heart for his inaction over the past few days, but his pace did not slow down at all.
What are you doing?
As he walked, Luo Chen scrolled through his phone, looking at the messages Yuno had sent him, tapping the screen lightly with his finger.
'To increase my food reserves before I starve to death.'
'It's clearly because you're too lazy to buy things that you're acting this way.'
Looking at the message from Yuno, Luo Chen could already imagine that she was laughing at him on the other side of the screen, but he couldn't refute it.
"That's all, I've arrived."
After sending the message, Luo Chen put his phone in his trench coat pocket, not caring whether Yuno would notice or not, and walked silently with his hands in his pockets.
The sky in early November already felt like autumn. Although it wasn't as cold as winter, there was still a chilly wind blowing when you walked on the street, making you feel a little cold.
Just as Luo Chen was thinking about what to buy, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it curiously: "Didn't I already tell Yuno that I was going?"
Seeing the nickname "Raiden Mei" displayed on his phone screen, Luo Chen became even more puzzled. He opened the chat page and was slightly shocked.
"Um, are you free tomorrow? I need to go out for a bit, could you come with me?"
"What happened? Why would Mei contact me on her own initiative?"
Looking at the chat page, Luo Chen felt something was amiss. Normally, he and Raiden Mei had only known each other for half a month, so why would she ask him to go out together?
'? '
With a question mark to indicate his doubt, Luo Chen decided to clarify the matter before leaving.
'I feel a little unsafe being alone, but you're my only male friend, so…'
If you don't have time, then forget it.
'9'
Looking at Raiden Mei's explanation, Luo Chen typed a 9, indicating that he was somewhat speechless.
"They've just used me as a tool, haven't they?"
'?'
This time it was Raiden Mei's turn to be puzzled. She hadn't gotten used to this strange way of chatting.
'6 flipped.'
Luo Chen explained to her, then pondered for a moment before giving Raiden Mei her answer.
"I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of tomorrow and can't go out with you. But if you need anything in the future, you can contact me."
After sending the message, Luo Chen put his phone back in his pocket, glanced silently at the growing trail of tails behind him, and continued forward.
