Chapter 24: Shen Lou
Who is Shen Lou? It may be difficult to find relevant information about his life in Qin An's status but He Yan is here to explain to him. When they were given a night to take an early rest, Qin An 'joined' the group conversation inside their room.
He Yan is also here again together with some trainees and they are chatting happily. As for him, even if he doesn't speak, He Yan and Xing Ren will always take turns chatting with him. Even the other trainees who notice that he doesn't seem to be as distant as before also ask questions about him.
After a while, they also inevitably talk about the trainees, especially those who are in Class S.
"Yanyan, you're childhood friends with Shen Lou, right?" A trainee asks He Yan. "Is he the same person as he is now?"
He Yan tilted his head to think for a moment before answering, "A bit. Brother Lou has been my friend ever since I could remember. Our families are neighbors so we often see each other since we were little. As far as I remembered, Brother Lou is an excellent person. He always got high grades and has many skills. He was often praised for that."
Other trainees also nod. "That's true. Even in high school, I always heard about Shen Lou's name all over because of his achievements."
"Yeah. Brother Shen's mental power is S+, right?" The trainee sighs. "Although I don't have the right to comment but just this high mental power, it's a bit of a pity not to be a soldier."
The other trainees also couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Shen Lou will be very majestic to that. I can imagine him with the mechas! It's very cool!" They laugh at that remark.
"Then why didn't Shen Lou go to a military university, Yanyan? Did he really want to debut in entertainment?" Xing Ren asks.
"Brother Lou's reason?" He Yan tilted his head again in wonder. "I actually didn't know. When we were a kid, Brother Lou's interest was actually about manufacturing mecha, but I didn't know why when suddenly, he became interested in singing and dancing. Since then, I rarely saw him touch mecha again until this time."
"Could something bad have happened?" Guang Yi touched his chin as if he had a beard.
He Yan shrugs. "I don't know. Brother Lou is very silent about saying what he feels. He rarely wants others to see his emotions so it's hard to think about it."
"But..." He Yan look at them.
"Brother Lou is very strong so our elders often say that he'll take care of me." He Yan embarrassingly smiles as he scratches his nape. "Even though I came from a military family, I was born weak and since Brother Lou is at my age, he took the responsibility of it. So even if others saw that he's very cold and sharp, Brother Lou is actually a soft-hearted person."
"Well, whatever his reasons are, we don't have the right to know without his consent. All that matters is that he's with us and is willing to be friends with everyone, right?" Xing Ren smiles reassuringly at them.
Qin An lowered his eyes. "He Yan."
"Hm?" He Yan was surprised at his voice and so was the others who looked at his direction. But Qin An being his usual iceberg, he didn't seem to care about the various eyes on him.
"I want to ask something." He was just looking at He Yan.
He Yan immediately nodded and Qin An was about to say something when Xing Ren interfered.
"But An, why are you calling Yanyan his name? I remember you're 3 years younger than him, right?" Xing Ren has a playful smile on his face while looking at him teasingly. "Isn't it appropriate to call brother?"
