Supporting Role’s Aura

Arc 3.4 : Love Rival Appeared

—

At the noon break, Ye You got up and left the teaching room to go to the restaurant for lunch.

When he was halfway along the way, Ye You saw a group of people wearing college uniforms from a distance, standing in the middle of the road looking at him, and at a glance, he knew that they were looking for trouble. Ye You thought to himself, this was only the first day of school, was he about to suffer from school violence?

Although there were many people on the other side, Ye You did not stop, but walked over directly. Because he had already understood the school rules in detail just now, and knew that even if there were many people on the other side, they would never dare to do anything to him here.

The few people standing at the front took a few steps forward, the others stared at Ye You and did not moved. The tall and slender young man in the middle with a very outstanding appearance and temperament, looked at Ye You, and then slowly showed a kind smile.

Ye You saw that all the students from the other affiliated college walked away, and knew that these people must have a lot of influence. Fortunately, Du Yao entered the information of everyone in this school into the crystal card on his wrist. After entering, he can turn on the mode that was only visible from his own perspective, and view the information of these people.

“Hello, you are Ye You, right?” The youth standing in the middle asked while looking at Ye You with a smile.

“I’m Ye You. Is there something wrong?” Although Ye You was surrounded by people all morning, the first one who took the initiative to talk to him, was this person in front of him.

“My name is Jin Lan. I have known Duke Du Yao for many years, and we are quite familiar with each other. Since you are his fiancée, I think maybe we can become friends in the future.” Jin Lan smiled warmly and said as he looked at Ye You sincerely.

“Really?” Ye You deliberately showed innocent look, and then said suspiciously, “But Du Yao never told me about you.”

“After all, Du Yao has lived for more than 600 years. He knows a lot of people and has many friends. He and I can only be regarded as the most ordinary friends, not particularly good friends, so it’s normal that he did not specifically mention me to you.” Jin Lan still said with a gentle face: “Don’t misunderstand, I brought so many people here, not to bully you or provoke you, I brought them to get to know you, and they will take care of you in the future.”

“Really?” Ye You said with a happy smile, “Really thank you very much.”

“You really should be grateful to my Royal brother.” Jin Lan’s younger brother Benny came out, looked at Ye You with contempt and said, “You are someone of unknown origin who suddenly became Duke Du Yao’s fiancée, not to mention the children of nobles who look down on someone like you, even ordinary people think that you are not qualified to be Duke Du Yao’s fiancée. My Royal brother as the only prince and a prince who most likely to inherit the throne, is willing to take the initiative to be friends with you, even if you repay him with your life, you ought to be.”

“The, the prince?” Ye You pretended to be shocked and looked at Jin Lan and said, “Are you a prince?”

“How dare you be so unreasonable! You are too uneducated!” Benny glared at Ye You and scolded: “Who allowed you to ‘you you you1Raw 你(Nǐ); you (informal, as opposed to courteous 您[nin].‘ towards my royal brother?! You don’t even know the most basic etiquette to address the prince as His Royal Highness, yet you dare to come to the Royal Academy of Nobility! What the hell happened to Duke Du Yao to let a vulgar and uneducated person like you be his fiancée! ”

Ye You was someone who has lived for almost two hundred years. He doesn’t have much trouble with Benny’s attitude, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t hold grudges. As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely let him know what was the result of humiliating him, it doesn’t matter if they were princes or fools.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know… I’m sorry, Your Highness.” Ye You lowered his head and pretended to be very frightened. Since the other party was a member of the royal family, at least on the surface, he can’t offend him. Wait until he asked Du Yao about the specific situation.

“It doesn’t matter, those who don’t know are innocent, and you didn’t do it on purpose.” When Benny insulted Ye You, Jin Lan did not stop him, but after Ye You apologized, he pretended to be a gentle and kind person. He said : “And this is a college, everyone is a student, and you don’t need to pay too much attention to those etiquette.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for not blaming.” Ye You said in a low voice.

“It’s lunch time now. Come and have a meal with us. After lunch, I can take you for a walk and get acquainted with the environment of the college. You can also come to the advanced college to find us often in the future.” Jin Lan invited Ye You.

“Sorry, I can’t go to walk around with you guys.” Ye You had a looked that said ‘I really wanted to go but I didn’t dare to go’: “Du Yao stipulated what I had to do in school and told me not to wander around casually. I must now go to the restaurant he designated for lunch.”

Ye You raised his wrist and pretended to look at the time, then quickly glanced at the information on the crystal card. It only took three seconds to understand all the information about the person in front of him.

No wonder no one else dared to take the initiative to talk to him. This person surrounded him with so many people in the school, yet no teacher dared to come and take care of it. It turns out that this person in front of him was really the only prince, but… he was not the Emperor and the Queen’s biological son, but adoptive. The particularly arrogant Benny was his biological younger brother, their father, was the most powerful Qin Wang2Raw 亲王(qīnwáng); The title ranked second only to the emperor among the ancient royal aristocracy.

Although the power of the royal family was not as great as it used to be nowadays, but the noble status was still unshakable. Although this person was only the adopted child of the Emperor and the Queen, he was also the most promising person to inherit the throne. It can be said that he was the most honorable person in the entire academy, and even the Dean should be very respectful to him. However, the Emperor still has some other nephews, so there was still a lot of variables in whether this Prince Jin Lan can inherit the throne in the end.

“You really don’t know how to appreciate kindness!” Benny looked at Ye You with contempt and said in sarcasm again, “You even dare to refuse my royal brother’s invitation, it seems that you are really out of your mind!”

“Okay, Benny, don’t talked anymore.” Jin Lan didn’t intend to be difficult, but he looked as if he was really wanted to make friends with Ye You and said, “Then don’t go walk around, I’ll let them go back first, and I’ll go to the restaurant to eat with you, I want to talk to you alone.”

Ye You lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he was about to agreed, a voice behind him had refused it for him.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness. It’s enough for him to have us accompany him. I don’t dare to bother Your Highness to accompany him in person.”

Ye You looked back, and another group of people wearing advanced college uniforms came over, and the two people walking in the front actually looked a little bit like Du Yao.

“Morley, Doyle.” Jin Lan still did not change his face, said very calmly and gently: “You don’t have to be so defensive towards me, I won’t do anything to him.”

“Your Highness misunderstood. We didn’t come here because we were worried about what Your Highness would do to him, but because Uncle Du Yao asked us to accompany my little aunt3Raw 小婶(xiǎo shěn); Yes, it’s lit. little aunt(wife of father’s younger brother) for lunch. We dare not disobey his order.” After Morley looked at Jin Lan and finished speaking, he turned to look at Ye You and said, “Little aunt, this is His Royal Highness Prince Jin Lan.”

Ye You nodded and said, “I already knew about it just now.”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, if we don’t go to the restaurant, we’ll miss the meal time specified by Uncle Du Yao. Please excuse us,” Morley said.

“Goodbye, Your Highness.” Ye You nodded to Jin Lan.

“Goodbye, next time if have a chance, let’s have dinner together.” Jin Lan said as he looked at Ye You with a smile.

“Okay.” Ye You also smiled at him, then turned around and left with Morley and the others.

Jin Lan and the others also turned around and walked in the other direction.

“Royal brother, this Ye You looks stupid and ignorant, he should be easy to deal with.” Benny said in a sarcastic tone and in anger, “I really don’t know what Duke Du Yao thinks. To actually choose such a person who has no merits as his fiancée, even his appearance is so ordinary, he can’t even compare to a single hair of brother!”

“Whether he is really stupid or fake his stupidity, we can’t decide yet.”Jin Lan’s mask had been worn for too long, and it was difficult to take it off. Even though he wanted Ye You to turn into ashes immediately, the expression on his face was still gentle.

“I think, no matter whether he is really stupid or not, in fact it will be difficult for us to make a move on him.” Jin Lan’s confidant Du Bowen said: “Because whether he is stupid or not is not important, the most important thing is how to prevent Duke Du Yao from investigating after we make a move on him. This is the biggest problem. ”

“It makes sense to say so.” Benny nodded and said, “I only heard that Duke Du Yao has a strong desire to control before, but I didn’t expect it to be so strong. Even what time and what to do, must be eaten in that restaurant, there must be strict regulations, which is equivalent to protecting him in disguise, instead it’s not easy for us to deal with him. Could it be that Duke Du Yao chose such a person of unknown origin as his fiancée because he was easy to control? ”

“If we can’t deal with it in action, maybe we can influence him mentally and let him destroy himself, so it’s none of our business. Judging from his tone and demeanor just now, he showed his helplessness for Duke Du Yao who is overly controlling, but he doesn’t dare to resist, we can just take advantage of this, what does Your Highness think?” Bowen turned to look at Jin Lan and asked.

Jin Lan nodded in agreement.

As a member of the royal family who has the most hope of inheriting the throne, Jin Lan know exactly what he wanted most, and knows that even if he wanted to get everything he wants, he had to do it step by step.

He has been in love with Du Yao for so many years, and has been trying to get Du Yao’s likes and try to improved his relationship with Du Yao. But Du Yao has always been indifferent to him. Although it made him sad, Du Yao has not shown affection to others for so many years, so he was still at ease. But the news of Du Yao’s engagement seemed to hit him like a thunderbolt, and he was so shocked that he almost fainted. After confirming that the news of Du Yao’s engagement was true, he almost could not help destroying the image he had built over the years and rushed to the duke’s mansion to question Du Yao, asked why he was engaged to someone else, and why he just didn’t like him(JL).

After he was sad, hid under the quilt and burst into tears, Jin Lan cheered up again. He would never give up on Du Yao, not to mention that he was just engaged. Even if he was married, the person who will live happily with Du Yao in the end will definitely be him.

Before he became a prince, he knew very well that anything that he wanted to get that was difficult to get had to be won with the utmost effort, no matter what means he used, no matter how much he paid, as long as he could get everything he wanted, it was all worth it.

That person named Ye You, no matter whether his innocent and stupid face was true or not, he will crush him in the palm of his hand. Who let him occupy the position of Du Yao’s legal fiancée, until then just consider himself(YY) unlucky.

I don’t like Benny!!! (＞ｍ＜)

Can’t wait to see how Ye You going to slap his arrogant face! Hmph!
