Chapter 306 - THE MYSTERY OF HIS NOSEBLEED

LUO YAN walked outside of Luo Jin's room with new set of pajamas as well as a new pair of shirt and jeans. He was planning to call a maid to let her bring the clothes to Yu Jiao, after all, even though they're friends, the other was still a girl. He already figured out what she was thinking earlier – that she would sleep in her undergarments and just wear her gym clothes again tomorrow. It was not really not that hard to guess. He would probably do the same thing if he was in her shoes. What if she was already in a state of undress? It would be too embarrassing and awkward if he suddenly barged into her room right now.

He was about to climbed down the stairs when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure standing still in front of Yu Jiao's room. He turned and saw that it was actually his older brother. Perplexed, he walked towards him. That's when he noticed that Luo Ren was covering the lower half of his face with his hand.

"Brother? What are you doing there?" he asked.

Luo Yan's voice completely pulled back Luo Ren's already wandering soul. He stiffly turned to his younger brother. The moment he did, he felt another gush of warm liquid in his nose. His whole body froze again. What he just saw in the room flashed again in his mind. He closed his eyes tightly and throw that image at the very, very back of his head.

"Brother?" Luo Yan called again when Luo Ren didn't answer him immediately. He didn't even remove the hand covering his face. "Why are you covering your face? Are you okay?"

Luo Ren looked at his brother once again then remembered a very important fact. This tragic incident happened all because Luo Yan didn't tell him that Yu Jiao was actually a girl! Who could blame Luo Ren for thinking otherwise? His younger brother so confidently invited a friend to sleepover at their house. That only further intensified his misunderstanding that the other was a teenage boy. That's why happily agreed with Luo Yan's suggestion.

Who would actually invite a girl to have a sleepover in a house full of guys? Apparently, his brother would. For the first time, Luo Ren had an urge to smack Luo Yan at the back of his head. What exactly was this kid thinking? Could it be that because of being in a coma for seven years, he actually didn't have any awareness of gender distinction? For him, boys and girls were just the same? 

Luo Ren or their father should probably have a serious conversation with this brother of his. But for now, he should clean up first. The feeling of having something sticky in your nose was not exactly comfortable. 

"I'm fine," he said, still covering half of his face. Then he noticed the clothes Luo Yan was carrying. "Are those Xiao Jin's?"

Luo Yan nodded. "I'm planning to lend it to Jiao Jiao."

Luo Ren frowned. He suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason at the thought that Yu Jiao would wear the clothes of his youngest brother. But he immediately shook off that feeling. Wasn't he also planning to lend her his clothes? 

"Go to my room after you're done. We need to talk," he just said and walked straight to his room.

Luo Yan who was left there were a bit confused. Why did it feel like he was going to receive a severe scolding? 

Back to Luo Ren's room, the first thing he did was to go to his bathroom. He looked at his face at the vanity mirror and there were two red liquid under both nostrils. Thinking of the reason why he suddenly had a nosebleed, an image of a tall and slender girl with a pair of legs that seemed to go on forever appeared in his mind. Then he suddenly felt like that another nosebleed was coming. 

Annoyed, he splashed his face with cold water, cleaning the blood thoroughly. Then he leaned back a bit, raising his head to the ceiling, preventing the blood from flowing out.

He couldn't understand his reaction. What he saw was not particularly that stimulating. He had seen way more graphic things like that. With his family background, there were times when women tried to seduce him. From female employees in their family's company to 18th-line female stars. Just last month, someone tried to make him drink wine laced with aphrodisiac. He was too tired back then and didn't notice it. That woman almost succeeded if not for his strong self-control. Of course, that event didn't end well for that woman. 

The point was, even if his body was riddled with aphrodisiac and there's an almost naked woman trying to straddle him, he didn't have a nosebleed. And yet when he saw Yu Jiao's state of undress earlier, which really couldn't be said to be a total 'undress', he had one. 

He couldn't explain it. How the heck could he when he couldn't even understand what was happening. Was he simply sexually frustrated? Was that it? After all, he was at that age. But somehow, he couldn't seem to accept that reason.

Luo Ren took a deep breath and looked at the mirror once again. Whatever the reason was, the most important thing right now was for him to properly apologize to Yu Jiao. Because of his carelessness, that incident happened. What if she became traumatized or something?

He dried his face with a clean towel and walked out of the bathroom. Just in time for someone to knock on the door.

"Come in," he said.

The door opened and Luo Yan entered. "Brother, what do we have to talk about?" he asked tentatively.

Luo Ren looked seriously at his younger brother. "Yan Yan, why didn't you tell me that Yu Jiao is a girl?"

Luo Yan didn't expect that that was the thing that his older brother wanted to talk about. "I though you already knew?"

Luo Ren looked at him disapprovingly. "Do you think I will agree on letting her sleepover here if I know?" 

Well, his brother did have a point. Luo Yan actually thought that Luo Ren didn't mind that's why he agreed. It's not really that surprising that he thought of Yu Jiao as a boy. After all, Yu Jiao was so tall and handsome. 

Looking at his brother's face filled with 'I don't like this' expression, it seemed like his prediction of getting scolded would soon come true. But how could he just let that happen?

So, he quickly hugged his older brother's arm and started to act spoiled. "Brother, I'm sorry. Please, don't be mad. I really didn't mean it. Jiao Jiao is my first friend at school. I just wanted to show her our house. Was that so wrong?"

Luo Ren gazed down at Luo Yan's beautiful face filled with innocence and he couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't make himself angry with this little brother of his. What if he cried? 

"I'm not mad at you. I just hope that you won't do something like this again in the future," he just said.

"Okay. I understand, Brother," Luo Yan said very obediently.

Luo Ren ruffled his hair. "Go back to your room and sleep."

"Good night, Brother!" Luo Yan gave Luo Ren one last hug before going out.

Once he was out of his brother's room, a thought suddenly entered his mind. How did his older brother find out that Yu Jiao was a girl?
