Chapter 1080 CATCHING UP WITH UNCLE YUE
1080 CATCHING UP WITH UNCLE YUE
LUO YAN was about to say 'Uncle Yue', but quickly stopped himself. They were in school. If he acted all chummy-chummy with a teacher, even if one was more of a counselor, it might still affect Uncle Yue's job here. So, he cleared his throat and called out again.
"Teacher Jiang!"
The other stopped walking and turned in their direction. A warm smile quickly appeared on his lips upon seeing them.
Uncle Yue was now using a much smaller and clearer pair of glasses, fitting perfectly on his face. Unlike the old one that didn't even show the beautiful shape of his eyes. It seemed that he's much more confident now after reuniting with Uncle Yi Mu. He perfectly matched the saying 'blooming in love'.
The three of them walked towards Uncle Yue before the other could move in their direction. After all, it seemed rude to let him walked to them when he's a teacher. They greeted him when they arrived in front of him. The other greeted them back with the same warm smile.
"Are you all going to lunch?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Yes, Teacher Jiang," Luo Yan said. "I think we're all going to the same direction. Should we all walk together?"
Uncle Yue must have known by now that the three of them were regulars of Mr. Yuan's little restaurant, considering how often the other had seen them there. If they were walking in the same direction, then Uncle Yue must be planning to eat lunch in the same place.
Jiang Yue also quickly understood what Luo Yan was suggesting. "Sure, I'd be happy too."
And they all started walking towards the little restaurant.
The three went back to their conversation about that post in the game forum. Jiang Yue, who was listening to the side, timely said when they were finished with that particular topic;
"I do hope you still allocate some time for reviewing," he said in a rather playful tone. "The college entrance examination will be here before you knew it, after all."
"We- we're definitely doing our best to study, Teacher Jiang," Yu Jiao quickly explained.
"I don't know if that applies to Yan, though," Luo Jin said.
Luo Yan turned to his brother. "Hey, I do review. That's what I've been doing here at school. Just ask Jiao Jiao."
"Yes, Yan Yan is studying as hard as our other classmates," Yu Jiao quickly added. "As evidence of how he always gets a high score during our mock exams."
Luo Yan looked at Luo Jin as if saying, 'See?'. But the latter only scoffed at that.
"In my opinion, you should still cut down on your playing time," Luo Jin said. "We're already doing that thing during the weekends and then that other thing once during the weekday. Really, if the final tournament hadn't been moved, I might have protested to Moonlight Media myself for it to be moved."
Luo Yan hugged his younger brother's arm. "Aww... our sweet Ah Jin is worrying about me."
Luo Jin blushed and pulled his arm out of Luo Yan's grasp. "Stop it. I'm being serious here, okay?"
"I know. And as I've said, there's nothing to worry about. I've got everything covered," Luo Yan reassured the other. "Do I really look like the type who would neglect his future like that?"
Luo Jin gave him a look as if saying, 'you think?'.
"L-let's all calm down," Yu Jiao said.
Jiang Yue chuckled, listening to the conversation of the three. "Well, if you need any help or just anyone to talk to, just go to my office."
"Will do, Teacher Jiang."
"Yes. Thank you, Teacher Jiang."
Luo Yan and Yu Jiao said, respectively.
It didn't take time for them to arrive at the restaurant. As usual, there wasn't any people inside. They found a table for four people and sat down.
Yuan Xing, who just walked out of the kitchen, saw this combination and raised his brows. He walked to the table.
"Now this is a rare sight," he commented before pulling out the pen and notepad from his shirt pocket. "May I take your order?"
"Hello, Ah Xing," Jiang Yue greeted the other with a smile before telling him his order.
As they gave him their order, Luo Yan observed the tall and slender man. He still had that stylish haircut and that charming smile. As he looked at him, he couldn't help but remember that thing about Brother Zhao.
Then he shook his head. No, no matter how much curiosity he had regarding the relationship of the two, he shouldn't pry. Especially when it's none of his business.
When Mr. Yuan left to get their orders, Luo Yan turned his attention to Uncle Yue. There was actually a question he wanted to ask the other for a while now.
"Uncle Yue, will you still be here for the next school year?"
It had been in his mind since he found out the relationship between the other and Uncle Yi Mu. Even if B City was only a few hours away by plane, it's still a hassle to maintain a relationship when two people were working in different cities. It's not like they could meet in the game like him and Shen Ji Yun.
No, wait. Maybe they were already doing that.
"Well, actually, I'll be leaving next school year," Jiang Yue answered honestly. "I applied for a teaching position in T University. I was thankfully accepted. The professor I will be replacing would retire this coming school year. So, I would be teaching there this coming September."
That surprised Luo Yan. It seemed Uncle Yue could also not bear to work far away from Uncle Yi Mu.
"Then, things actually worked for the better," he could only comment, thinking that everything actually came together for the other.
Seemingly understanding what he meant, Uncle Yue smiled brilliantly. "Indeed." He looked at Luo Yan and Yu Jiao. "Maybe you the two of you will be my students. That is, if you choose T University."
Luo Yan smiled back. "Well, I will be there for sure."
