Chapter 307 - YU JIAO CALMING HERSELF

YU JIAO stared at the closed door for a couple of seconds before everything that happened sunk in. Then her whole face turned beet red. She crouched down, wishing to find a hole she could crawl in. She couldn't even describe the feeling of embarrassment and mortification she was feeling. She was so immersed in her own thoughts, she didn't hear even a speck of the voices of the two brothers talking outside her room. 

There's only one thing in her mind right now. Her friend's older brother just saw her in her… she couldn't even say it! 

Why did Luo Ren suddenly enter her room? She couldn't think of a possible reason why. The moment he entered, her whole body just froze and her brain completely blanked out. She buried her face on her knees. How could she face him now?

No, wait- why did it feel like she was blaming herself? This was not her fault at all. It was Luo Ren's. If he could have just knock on the door, it would save the both of them a lot of embarrassment. But no, he just barged in! One would think that the eldest son of a rich family would at least have the discipline to knock on a door that's not his room. But apparently, he didn't.

She felt frustrated and annoyed. Even more so, she felt extremely mortified. Because even though she knew that this incident was not her fault, she was still the one who had been seen in her underwear. 

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She repeatedly told herself to relax. [It's okay, Yu Jiao. It's okay. Just think of it as him seeing you in a swimsuit.]

She didn't really lose anything from what happened. Sure, he saw a bit of her legs and arms. But so what? It's not as if it would degrade her as a person. Besides, based on Luo Ren's rather lackluster reaction, he probably didn't think too much of what happened. After all, she's not exactly a goddess level beauty. The other probably didn't think of her as a girl. She's probably the only one who's getting worked up about it.

That thought finally calmed her down. It would be fine. She would just act like nothing happened.

Just as she stood up, a knock was heard on the door. It completely startled her, almost making her jump. Her first thought was that Luo Ren was back again. That made her heart, which she just barely managed to calm down, beat uncontrollably again.

"W-who?" she called first.

"Miss, our second young master asked me to bring you a change of clothes," said a woman's voice from outside. 

Yu Jiao quickly realized that the one outside must be a maid. She was finally able to put down her hanging heart. She was about to open the door when she realized that she was still in her undergarments.

"Please, wait," she said.

Then she went to the bathroom and looked for a bathrobe. When she did, she wore it and quickly walked towards the door. She opened it and just like she thought, a woman in a maid's uniform was standing outside. 

The maid who brought the clothes to Yu Jiao was slightly surprised when she saw the 'guest' of the second young master. When she heard that this guest was a girl, a lot of speculation entered her head. One of which was that their second young master had been taken advantage of by some girl. But when the second young master told her to bring clothes to his guest, she was confused. Because the clothes the second young master handed was obviously for a boy!

But now, seeing the guest with her own eyes, she finally understood. The one standing in front of her was tall with messy black hair and sharp eyes. If she wasn't informed beforehand that this guest was a girl, she would definitely think that the other was a boy. A very handsome boy to be exact.

She still had a job to do, so she quickly got over her shock and gave the clothes to the guest. 

Yu Jiao took it and said thank you to the maid before closing the door. She didn't forget to lock it. She looked down at the clothes on her hand. One was a set of pajamas and the other was a pair of shirt and jeans. 

Although she was moved by Luo Yan's thoughtfulness, she still wanted to squeeze his cheeks until it turned red and puffy. After all, he was the one who invited her here.

----------

Luo Yan, who just entered his room, suddenly sneezed. Was someone thinking about him? The first person he thought of was Luo Ren. He wondered if his older brother was still scolding him in his heart.

He walked to the bathroom to take a quick bath. He started to fill the tub with hot water. As he was taking off his clothes, his thoughts came back to what happened in his brother's room just now. Luo Ren was probably suspecting that in his mind, there's no distinction between girls and boys. That's why he could nonchalantly invite Yu Jiao to sleepover in their house. That would certainly fit the image of someone who had been in a coma for seven years. 

Of course, that wasn't the case. He was just confident that nothing would happen to Yu Jiao even if she slept here. His older brother probably wouldn't think of it that way. He wouldn't even be surprised if one of these days he would actually receive sex education from him, explaining to him the difference between a girl and a boy.

That would be super awkward.

Then his thought came back to that one particular problem – how did his brother found out that Yu Jiao was a girl? 

Before Luo Ren asked him to go to his room so they could talk, he still thought of Yu Jiao as a boy. It only changed at that particular moment. And Luo Ren was standing in front of Yu Jiao's room when that change happened. That meant that he saw something in the room that changed his perception.

A certain possibility suddenly flashed in his mind. Then his eyes widened. "No way…"

He said that but his lips were already drawn into a mischievous arc.
