The man who approached was a fellow Scholar and student from his days at the Capital City Academy, though they hadn't interacted much in the past.
Jiang Ye nodded in greeting, then asked the elder for three bowls of noodles and sat down, saying:
"Are you here waiting for An as well?"
"No," Chen Fan replied as the three of them sat down. "I'm here waiting for my elder brother."
Jiang Ye: "Elder brother?"
Wang Yang: "Chen Yi?"
Wei Jinyu: "Chen Yuan?"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them exchanged glances and spoke simultaneously: "Clarify, which elder brother?"
...
Chen Fan looked at them with a strange expression, thought about the purpose behind their questions, and responded:
"It's my eldest brother, Chen Yuan."
Instantly, Jiang Ye acknowledged with an 'oh,' while Wang Yang nodded uninterestedly.
Only Wei Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she scooted her stool closer to Chen Fan, asking:
"When is Chen Yuan coming?"
