Chapter 851 Graduation Gift...

Chapter 851 Graduation Gift...

"Both of you suit each other as you both think the same, but I have my ways. For now, let's go out as I don't wish to ruin the day. Take your time. I am waiting in the car."

Declaring, Noah left without giving the other two a chance to talk a single word as he closed the door of the room with force.

Slam!!

The moment Noah left, Jake spoke, "What should we do with him?"

"As usual, we have no other choice. Let's get going," Lu Lijun instructed as he went back to the room and finished getting ready. 

Jake and Lu Lijun both went out and sat in the car where Noah waited for them; sitting in the driver seat, he looked serious and said nothing.

"Where are we going?" Jake asked, but Noah didn't reply and started the car. 

Jake, who sat on the front passenger seat, looked at Lu Lijun, who sat on the back passenger seat. It was nothing new for these two as whenever things didn't go according to how Noah wanted, he always chose the way of not talking, and his two friends always had to give up in front of him. 

It was not like they were scared of him, but these two preferred to give him the upper hand once in a while by giving in to his demands, and after that, they liked how happy their friends turned. 

Lu Lijun signaled Jake, saying he will ask and spoke, "You are the one to make us ready early morning and now…"

"As I am the one to take you both out, then you two can keep your mouth shut, too," Noah interrupted as he focussed on the driving. 

With this reply from Noah, Lu Lijuna and Jake both stayed quiet. Their cool and talkative friend was not easy to argue with whenever he turned serious, so the other two let things happen in his way.

Few things were obvious to happen and understand between them, which worked silently, but they preferred to let it happen. Jake and Lu Lijun both knew what Noah would do once they would say no, but they couldn't stop acting according to their nature, and Noah wouldn't stop doing his part. 

These small-small things were the ones that kept their friendship alive for so long and made it even stronger.

Soon, the car stopped at one place, and Noah stepped out of the car as he instructed, "Get down."

The two friends quietly did what he said, and Jake asked, "Why are we here, and how come this showroom is open early morning?"

It was the place for all the international brand showrooms, and in the entire shopping market, only one was open as it was too early to open the shops. 

"I think, brother An Tian must have told him something as always, so he brought us here," Lu Lijun concluded as they followed Noah. 

"Sometimes, I feel like he is my brother or Noah's brother," Jake said while Noah talked to the showroom manager and heard it.

"Don't be jealous. Try to be a bit cool like me, then you can be in brother An Tian's list of most contacted people, but you two...sigh...no words," Noah commented as he sighed deeply.

Jake and Lu Lijun gave him a narrowed eyes look but couldn't say a word as it was the truth. An Tian hardly called them, but he and Noah became chat buddies like best friends or real brothers. 

Lu Lijun knew An Tain for long, while Jake was his real brother, but Noah was the one to get all the importance.

"Sir, It's ready," the showroom manager informed as she led their way towards the private room, which meant for the VIP guests only. 

Nodding, Noah stepped towards the VIP room but stopped seeing his two friends giving him displeased glares. 

Not being affected by it, Noah instructed, "Stop sulking like kids and follow me."

It was among those few times when Noah was the one to act superior, and when it came to An Tian, his two friends turned extra sensitive. How much cold these two acted all the time would disappear at moments like these, to turn them into normal sulking kids.

Jake and Lu Lijun followed Noah inside the VIP room, where Noah stood beside the one stand to which three similar suits hung in a row, kept in suit covers, and a note written on them. 

"For us three. The graduation gift from brother Tian and we have to wear it today for the convocation," Noah informed as he pulled out the note stick to the suit cover to read it.

Lu Lijun and Jake stepped towards their gifts. They didn't show it, but the two really liked this gift from An Tian as they felt equally loved as Noah.

Jake pulled out the note written for him. It was the same note for three, handwritten by An Tian, congratulating each one for completing the masters and wishing for the best future. 

"He didn't forget us, finally," said Jake as he looked at Noah, who was the happiest person there. 

Jake and Lu Lijun didn't like it as they felt jealous about how come he was so special for An Tain, but Noah ignored them and opened his gift. 

"Brother Tian is best," said Noah as he pulled out the suit from the cover, "Damn, he knows what I like."

Feeling jealous, Jake pulled out his suit and spoke, "Don't feel so special as my suit is the same."

"I know because I am the one to send him our dress code for the convocation, but it's special because it's personally made by my brother Tian." 

"Our brother," Jake exclaimed. 

Ignoring him, Noah looked at Lu Lijun, who was busy looking at the suit while trying to feel it with his fingers and looked in trans. 

"Stop staring at it like it's sent by your girlfriend, Lu Lijun," Noah commented while Jake silently looked at Lu Lijun, not willing to disturb him.

Noah's words snapped Lu Lijun out of the daze, and not replying; he carefully pulled out the suit.

The three Friends got ready in suits like gentlemen, perfectly fitted white shirt with a grey jacket and pant, the matching tie, hair combed in a perfect hairstyle, and the casual shoes replaced by the formal ones.

"Still can't believe time passed so fast," said Noah, and the other two agreed as they stood in front of the huge, horizontally wide mirror. 

"By the way, Lu Lijun, you are younger than both of us, you have skipped the grades so you can start calling us elder brother," Noah commented.

"In your dreams," Lu Lijun replied as he continued looking at his suit in every angle possible.

"Haven't you worn a suit before, Lu Lijun, or did you like this suit too much," Noah teased, and Lu Lijun stopped what he was doing and went back to his silent mode. 

Before Noah could say anything further, Jake spoke, "I heard, in China, if a guy is even a few months older than the other one, then they call him elder brother."

"So?" Noah asked.

"So, you should start calling me like that," Jake replied.

"Cough! Is it? I didn't hear such a rule," Noah denied.

"Yes, there is," Lu Lijun confirmed, and both looked at Noah, but he changed the topic, "Let's go; we are getting late," and stepped towards the room's door.

"Do you really want him to call you a brother?" Lu Lijun asked 

"That idiot doesn't suit to be my brother," came Jake's reply, who didn't look like he meant what he said while Lu Lijun smiled lightly.

Thanking the staff in the showroom, the three stepped out. Noah and Jake sat in the car while Lu Lijun stood outside for some time looking here and there.

"If you are in a mood to enjoy fresh air, you can do it inside the university. For now, please care to make it faster," instructed Noah as he turned on the car's engine. 

Not saying a word, Lu Lijun stepped towards the back passenger seat door. 

"What happened to him today? He is not getting back at me for teasing and looks really different, just on his every birthday," asked Noah. 

"Shh," Jake silenced him before Lu Lijun could hear it. Noah kept quiet as he gave narrowed eyes to Jake as if saying, 'You know what is wrong with him, and you have to tell me."

Jake ignored his stare and looked outside of the window while Noah drove away.

In Lu Corporation, Xiao Min's office. 

"Come in," instructed Xiao Min as he heard knocking on his office door. 

San Zemin entered the office, holding the tab as he asked, "Is the boss busy?"

Xiao Min looked at his wristwatch. It was late noon in China, and most of the office work was about to be finished.

"Boss would be free after some time. Is anything important?"

Putting the table on the table, San Zemin signaled Xiao Min to go through it.

Xiao Min did so, and the next moment San Zemin heard him saying, "He looks like our previous boss."

San Zemin agreed, "And seeing him in this suit, I felt as if he was actually the boss."

Xiao Min nodded as he scrolled through the pictures. 

It was Lu Lijun's latest pictures which San Zemin received, Lu Lijun standing outside of the An Tain's showroom, wearing a suit while looking here and there. 

San Zemin came to the important point that he was there to tell. "Other than looking like our previous boss, there is one more interesting thing about these pictures."

"What?" Xiao Min asked as he gave a questioning look to San Zemin.
