IT was finally the second day of the mock exam. It was lunch time, the Luo brothers as well as Yu Jiao were at the usual small restaurant hidden in the most inconspicuous corner of the school. They already ordered their food and was only waiting for it to be cooked.

As usual, they were the only customers in the small restaurant. Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder how in the world does this restaurant still able to generate income? But maybe they didn't care about the money at all. He heard that this restaurant was about to be demolished a little more than a year ago but the grandson of the school's Chairman prevented that. Then he gave the management of the small restaurant to his friend – the man with a man bun who had a certain decadent charm. If Luo Yan remembered correctly, his name was Yuan Xing. 

Maybe they didn't really care about generating income. Maybe the grandson of the Chairman just wanted to give his friend a little hobby, exercise his cooking skills or something. He shrugged. It had nothing to do with him anyway. 

"Yan, how was your exam this morning?" Luo Jin asked, breaking Luo Yan's train of thought.

"It's okay," Luo Yan answered. "Don't worry, Ah Jin, as I've told you yesterday, I won't fail," he added, confidently.

Luo Jin knew of his brother's capabilities. He knew that Luo Yan would definitely pass this mock exam with no problem. How could he fail when he was able to pass the entrance exam of the school with flying colors? Especially when he only studied everything from elementary to middle school to second year of high school in just three months. That spoke volume on just how intelligent his second brother was.

But despite that, he still couldn't help but worry. Of course, he wouldn't freely admit that to Luo Yan. So, he could only say, "Who's worried? I'm simply checking up on you."

Luo Yan just smiled, knowing his younger brother's tsundere nature. "Yes, yes," he said in a very pampering tone. Then he turned his attention to the quiet Yu Jiao. "How about you, Jiao Jiao?"

"I also think I did okay," Yu Jiao answered. 

Her voice didn't sound as confident as Luo Yan but it was stable enough, showing that she was certain that she did well on the exam. She was thankful that although she was lacking it many things, at least God was still merciful and gave her a good head above her shoulders.

Soon, the food they ordered arrived and they started eating.

"By the way, Jiao Jiao, why are you wearing your gym clothes?" Luo Yan thought of asking. 

He had been curious about that since he saw her this morning wearing gym clothes. Even though it's not intentional, he had already heard about Yu Jiao's family situation. It's not really that hard since her stepsister was also studying at Guizu Academy. He heard that there had been a couple of times in the past that the girl deliberately humiliated Yu Jiao in front of many students. 

If it happened in front of him, he would surely teach such bratty girl a lesson. But unfortunately, the other hadn't looked for Yu Jiao since the start of this school year. Or maybe she did, Luo Yan just hadn't seen it. That's why when he saw Yu Jiao wearing gym clothes instead of their school uniform, the first thing that came to his mind was that she was bullied by her mean stepsister. 

"Ah, this… actually, when I walked out of the dormitory this morning and…" Yu Jiao stopped as if she couldn't bear to say the next thing.

With her paused, Luo Yan already made up a lot of dog blood drama in his brain. And his suspicion that she had been bullied became even stronger. "It's okay, you can tell it to us," he said gently. 

"Actually, a flying bird accidentally, ahm, well, it p-pooped on my uniform," Yu Jiao said embarrassingly. "I only have that one uniform. I don't have time to clean it, so I just wore my gym clothes."

Luo Yan was stupefied when he finally heard the reason. What about being bullied? What about the dog blood drama? He suddenly realized that his brain hole was a bit too big just now. Because of that, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yu Jiao's face quickly turned red. "Yan Yan, d-don't laugh."

Luo Jin also glanced sideways at his brother, not expecting that he would really laugh. Something that this understanding brother of his would certainly not do.

Luo Yan stopped laughing, realizing that the two must have misunderstood him. They probably thought he was laughing at Yu Jiao's bird pooping incident. 

"Sorry, sorry, I'm not laughing at you. I'm actually laughing at myself," he quickly said. When he saw Yu Jiao's confused look, he explained, "When I saw you wearing gym clothes or something, I thought you were bullied or something. I was already imagining some bloody drama. So, when you explained what happened, I realized that my brain hole was a bit too much."

Yu Jiao was dumbfounded when he heard Luo Yan's explanation. Then she didn't know what expression she should have. Did Luo Yan think that way because she looked easy to bully?

Even Luo Jin looked at Luo Yan as if he was someone silly. "Yan, just how wild is your imagination?"

Luo Yan jokingly punched his younger brother's arm. "Hey, you can't dislike your brother." He turned to Yu Jiao. "As compensation, why don't we eat somewhere after the exam this afternoon? My treat."

Because it was exam day, they could leave earlier than normal school days. Which meant that even if they eat somewhere outside, Yu Jiao could still go back before the curfew of the school's dormitory.

Yu Jiao wanted to refuse at first. But then, she thought that there was something she wanted to discuss with Luo Yan. So, it would be good if they could go somewhere to talk. At the end, she finally said, "Okay."
