LUO YAN looked outside the window of the car they're travelling in. It was steadily passing by tall buildings and other establishments. His father was sitting beside him on the backseat while his younger brother was sitting on the passenger's seat of the car. They were currently on their way to Guizu Academy. Just a few hours more and he would be taking an exam so he could study at the said academy.

His phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out from the pocket of his shorts and saw that it was a WeChat message from Bai Ze.

[Bai Shao]: Xiao Yan, good luck to your exam today! I know you can do well.

Then it was followed by a sticker of a boy doing a fist bump.

Luo Yan didn't think it was weird to receive a message like this from this cousin. After all, yesterday when they were all in the team's headquarters, he happened to mention that he would be taking an exam today.

[YanYan1213]: Thank you, Brother Ze.

He replied and then added a smiley emoticon.

Shortly after that, another message came. This time it was from Su Yuqi.

[Yuqi]: Good luck.

Luo Yan smiled a little when he read that very simple message. That was very much like what Su Yuqi would say, simple and concise with no extra words but perfectly relayed the message she wanted to deliver.

[YanYan1213]: Thank you, Sister Yuqi!

Then after that, another message popped up. When he saw who it was from, he shook his head. These guys, did they agree on a time to send me a message?

[luckycloud]: Good luck on your exam today Yan Yan! I'll be cheering for you!

And then a rabbit sticker waving a pair of pompoms appeared on the screen.

Luo Yan stared at the message, particularly at the words 'Yan Yan'. When Shen Ji Yun accidentally called him that, he looked so mortified. He even had an illusion that the guy would cry if he told him that he couldn't just call him 'Yan Yan'. Although that was probably just his imagination working. But he still found out a bit cute. That's why he gave him permission to call him by that nickname.

He then glanced at the rabbit sticker. If he didn't know Shen Ji Yun, he might think that the person who sent this message was some energetic, cute girl. Because, seriously, who would think that someone like Shen Ji Yun, who almost seemed like he didn't have any extra emotions in him, could send a perky message like this one? And with a matching cute rabbit sticker to boot?

But having been able to spend time with him, Luo Yan knew that Shen Ji Yun was far from emotionless. He just had a harder time expressing his feelings compared to normal people. But if one could just observe carefully – his slight frown, the little strain between his eyebrows, the movement of his mouth, and most importantly, the emotions hidden in his eyes – it wouldn't be that hard to tell what he's feeling. If he was angry, sad, frustrated, annoyed, or even shy.

Most people just didn't have the patience to do that. And so, they judged Shen Ji Yun as some kind of expressionless iceberg. Frankly, for some reason, Luo Yan felt a bit of pride knowing that he was not like those other people.

He typed on the phone and sent his reply.

[YanYan1213]: Thank you, Brother Ji Yun. I'll definitely do my best!

And then he followed it up with a grinning emoticon.

Luo Wei Tian noticed his second son's soft expression and sweet smile. "What message does Xiao Yan so happy?"

Luo Yan turned to his father. "My game team mates just sent me good luck messages."

Game team mates? Luo Wei Tian remembered Luo Yan mentioning something about that. If his memory served him right, that included Bai Ze. "Oh, you mean Ah Ze?"

"Yes," Luo Yan said, he didn't bother to say that it was not only Bai Ze.

Luo Jin, sitting in the front, of course heard their conversation. He snorted. He bet that Shen Ji Yun guy also sent a message to his brother. He didn't say anything. This was an important day to his brother. He didn't want to start an argument because of that expressionless guy. He raised his head and looked at the rear view mirror. Especially since Luo Yan looked so happy.

The car soon entered a private road. They were already away from the bustling city hub. Despite being still in the S City, it almost seemed like they entered a totally different place. There were trees, smokes from pollution couldn't be seen, the air even seemed fresh.

At the end of the road was an automatic gate being guarded by two guards. After talking to their driver and checking his ID, they were allowed to go in. Apparently, their driver's ID was on the school's system. They input the IDs of the drivers who sent their young masters and young miss to the school.

Luo Yan was a bit impressed by this security. He looked out and his eyes widened a bit when he saw how extensive the land where the school was standing. Just how many acres of land was this? He couldn't even count the number of buildings scattered around just by one glance. It's apparent that only rich kids could attend here.

He was still being amazed by what he's seeing when his phone rang. He looked down and saw the name of his older brother on the screen.

He immediately answered it. "Brother?"

"Yan Yan, are you already at the school?" Luo Ren's voice asked.

"We just arrived."

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you," Luo Ren apologized. He truly wanted to go with them and also accompany Luo Yan. But he was really busy right now. He could even barely find time to make this call.

"It's alright, Brother. I know how busy you are," Luo Yan comforted him.

They talked a bit more before Luo Ren had to hang up the phone because he still had to attend a meeting.

"You got this, Yan Yan. I know you could pass this exam with flying colors," Luo Ren said before ending the call.

Luo Yan put back his phone in his pocket. The car then stopped in front of a building.

"Are you ready, Xiao Yan?" Luo Wei Tian asked.

Luo Yan looked at his father and smiled full of confidence. "Yes, Dad. I'm more than ready."
