Read Novel Full Chapter 14 CUTE LITTLE RABBIT
A BLACK luxury car parked behind the faculty building of F University. The driver first went out and opened the door of the backseat of the car. The first one to get out was a man in his 30s. He was wearing a crisp black suit. The pair of black eyes were hidden behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He's not the type one would immediately call handsome. But the way he carried himself was enough to make up for it. His temperament was clean and gentle. Anyone who saw him could only associate him to the word 'gentleman'.
The one who followed him was undoubtedly more eyecatching. The young man was tall and lean. He was only wearing casual clothes but his momentum couldn't be hidden. His hair was so black that it almost looked dark blue under the bright sun. But the one thing people would first notice when they saw him was his eyes. They were so blue it's like you're gazing at the brightest sky with no clouds.
Shen Yi Mu - the gentleman wearing a suit - was here in F University because he was invited as a guest speaker for the undergraduate commencement exercise. The one who invited him was an old friend so he really didn't have the heart to reject it. Being the founder and president of the current leading gaming company in the country made him more the qualified to speak in a prestigious university like this.
He turned to his nephew. Shen Ji Yun, just like always, had no expression on his handsome face. Because of that, he looked more like a perfect, flawless doll instead of a human. Shen Yi Mu just felt a little bit of heartache whenever he saw his nephew like this. Because he wasn't always like this. There was a time when he was just like any other kid, lively and full of different expressions. But that all changed 12 years ago.
When Ji Yun was eight, a very tragic and unfortunate incident happened. It completely shattered the perfect home of the little boy. Shen Yi Mu's older brother - Ji Yun's father - died. Ji Yun's mother suffered an extreme shock that she couldn't even be a proper mother to the child. When Shen Yi Mu saw Ji Yun, he was already like a expresionless doll.
He decided to take in the child despite the protests of his sister-in-law's family. Because just one look at his sister-in-law and anyone could see that she's not in the proper state of mind to take care of a child. Staying with her would just deepened the emotional wound of Ji Yun. But he didn't take him back to Shen family either. Because Shen family was a complicated mess. It wasn't a suitable envinronment for a child to grow up in. So since then, they had been living together as a family of two.
But nothing really had changed in terms of Ji Yun's emotional development. In fact, he just became more and more expresionless as years passed by. Shen Yi Mu even started to doubt if his nephew actually had facial paralysis.
He tried to make his nephew socialize with others by enrolling him in different arts, music, and sports classes where there were other children his age he could interact with. But that didn't really help because he didn't really bother talking with others and just leave when he didn't like the class. Out of all the classes, the only one that caught his attention was the karate class. He did so well there he was even invited to join the National team. Which Ji Yun rejected, saying it was too troublesome.
Now Ji Yun was fully immersed in helping him in his gaming company. Developing ways to continually improve the main game of the company. If not for Shen Yi Mu's insistence, Ji Yun would have long graduated early. Shen Yi Mu at least wanted his nephew to have a normal campus life. But clearly, he's hoping for a miracle. Because since he was eight up to now, Ji Yun was still the same unapproachable expresionless doll. The only one who could probably withstand his cold atmosphere was the young master of the Bai family.
Shen Yi Mu just sighed. "Ji Yun, do you want to go with me to the auditorium?"
The reason why he brought his nephew here was because he'd been burying himself inside the game for days now, being the beta tester for the upcoming update. If Shen Yi Mu didn't force him to go out, he might not really get out of his room for the duration of his summer break. That's just the way Ji Yun was. If he liked something, he would put all his attention to it.
"No. I'll just go around and wait until Uncle finished," Ji Yun answered with no ups and downs in his voice.
"Okay. I'll call you once I'm done."
Ji Yun nodded, turned around and walked away. Shen Yi Mu looked at his nephew's back, shook his head and then walked inside the faculty building.
Shen Ji Yun walked on the campus ground. A lot of people, especially girls, couldn't help but stare at him. But he seemed to not notice the hot gazes directed at him. He didn't like the noisy surroundings so he walked to find a relatively quiet place. He found an area where not many people were walking by. When he saw a tall tree, he walked towards it. Once near, he easily climbed the lowest thick branch. He sat there and leaned on the trunk. He planned to sleep there for a while but before he could even do so, he heard a noise below.
He looked down and saw two people below. One was obviously a college student. The other was a boy who looked like he was just 13 or 14 years old. The college guy seemed to be harrassing the kid. The kid raised his head and Shen Ji Yun immediately understood why the college guy would harrass him. Soft black hair, delicate white skin, natural pinkish lips, and a pair of peach blossom shaped eyes. Shen Ji Yun was not the type to notice a person's appearance, but even he could see that the kid had a very pretty face.
The kid tried to leave but the college guy stopped him. "Hey, little brother, don't ignore me."
The kid pursed his lips, showing how annoyed he was. It made his white cheeks bulged a little. The first thing that entered in Shen Ji Yun's mind seeing that was; [Cute little rabbit.]
Before he knew it, he already jumped down and said, "You're noisy."
