Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

When there was an end of the day in China, it was a bright day in England. Lu Lijun had two friends who used to be with him all the time. Though Lu Lijun and Jake were still not on good terms, they tried to be together peacefully for Noah's sake.

After completing the first class of the day, it was time for the art class, a favorite course for most of the students, as it had always conducted in the massive green lawn inside the school campus. It was Lu Lijun's first time of attending this class

The students went to the lawn, where the teacher greeted them, A pretty lady in mid-twenties wearing a simple white top and a brown skirt long up to her knees, who looked even younger than her actual age.

"Take your place as today we are doing something different," the teacher instructed as she sat in the chair.

All the students sat on the lawn in small groups with their close friends. The smallest groups were these three friends as most were sitting in small circles with more than three people in it.

"Today, I will not tell you all about what to do. Take your sheets out and draw whatever you feel like, but it should be something nice. The best and thoughtful art will get additional plus points in the final result sheet."

As the teacher instructed, Lu Lijun stared at her for a while as her golden-brown hair with the red tinge, her bright eyes, and a pretty smile on her lips reminded him about someone. That someone's smiling face flashed in front of his eyes, but the next moment he came out of it as Noah disturbed his train of thoughts.

"I know she is pretty, but you should not look at her like this. She is our teacher," Noah commented, who was sitting beside Lu Lijun.

Lu Lijun ignored him and looked somewhere else, so Noah continued smiling brightly, "Ms. Smith is our art teacher. She was on vacation for two weeks. I am happy she is back, and we can have this interesting art class."

Lu Lijun listened calmly while someone sitting with them frowned, "What are you so happy about, Noah? I hate these art classes," Jake said while crunching one paper in his palm.

"Don't mind him, Lu Lijun. He loves sports more and hates the art," Noah informed, and Jake frowned again, "What's there so interesting about it?"

"You won't understand, Jake as you know nothing batter than kicking the ball. Now stop being an angry young man and try to be a gentleman."

"My ass!" Jake frowned.

"Shh!! what are you doing, Jake? We are in class." Noah covered Jake's mouth before any other foul word come out from Jake.

"Is there any problem, Noah?" the teacher asked when she noticed Jake and Noah.

"N-No teacher," said Jake, and the teacher's sight fell on Lu Lijun. She stepped towards these three and asked, "A new student?"

Lu Lijun looked at her as he stood up, "Yes."

"Nice to see you. May I know your name?" the teacher asked.

"Lu Lijun."

"Would it be fine to call you only Lijun?" the teacher asked as she was not familiar with Chines names.

"Yes."

"Okay then, Lijun, it's your first art class, so I hope you enjoy it. Do your best." Smiling the teacher said as she left while Lu Lijun just nodded and sat back.

"We will call you Lijun too, as Lu Lijun is too long and in this country, no one calls others with a full name unlike in our country," Noah informed, and Lu Lijun replied, "Whatever you are fine with."

Everyone started to draw something being emersed in their world while Jake sat calmly looking here and there.

In a while, Noah looked at Lu Lijun's drawing sheet and seeing it; his eyes left wide open.

Lu Lijun almost finished what he was drawing, being unaware of a surprised gaze on his drawing sheet. Noah poked Jake lightly, signaling him to look into Lu Lijun's sheet, and Jake had the same reaction.

"Woo, Lijun, you are so good," Noah commented, pulling Lu Lijun out of the trans.

He looked at Noah and Jake and then looked at the drawing sheet that surprised him as if he didn't know what he was drawing.

Noah observed the drawing, "Who is she, Lijun. She looks pretty. Right, Jake?"

"Whatever," Jake replied though he too was surprised with what Lu Lijun drew.

Not answering, Lu Lijun crunched the sheet in a ball and said, "Nobody."

"If she is nobody, then why did you draw her?" asked Noah, and Jake, who was pretending to be not interested in knowing it, was eager to know it too.

"Focus on your drawing," Lu Lijun instructed as he kept the crunched ball of the sheet to one side and pulled out the other sheet, the anger evident on his face, so Noah didn't ask anything further.

Soon the time of class was over, and the teacher, Ms. Smith went to every student to collect their drawing sheets.

When the teacher reached these three, she was happy to see what Lu Lijun and Noah drew. Lu Lijun drew the pretty view of nature with hills surrounding with greenery all over and the river making her way through it to reach the sea, as the sun brightening the entire place.

Noah drew his pet dog, who he loved a lot while Jake's sheet was empty.

"Both of you did well," the teacher commented and then looked at Jake, "Just like this white paper sheet, the place of extra points in result sheet would be white for you."

Jake stood silent as the teacher said politely, and she was not scolding him. Just as the teacher was about to leave, her sight fell on the crunched sheet ball, and she picked it up before Lu Lijun could stop her.

"What is this? You should not keep it here?" The teacher intended to throw it in the trash can.

"It's what Lu Lijun drew in the start, but I don't know why he didn't like it," said Noah, and Lu Lijun gave him a narrowed eyes look.
