SHEN JI YUN who just walked out of the elevator completely froze when he heard that sweet voice. His body’s automatic reaction was to greedily stare at the beautiful boy in front of him. His rabbit was still as he remembered him – soft black hair, white skin, pink lips, and big peach blossom eyes.
And just like when he saw him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he felt his heart beating madly. Faster and faster. As if it would jump out of his chest. If he didn’t know the reason behind his abnormal heart rate, he might have already thought that he was having a myocardial infarction.
But he still noticed that there was something a bit different about Luo Yan compared to the last time he saw him. He just couldn’t tell immediately what it was.
He didn’t have time to think more because he just noticed that Luo Yan was not alone. Surrounding him were three tall men. One of which was Luo Jin who was looking incredulously at him. And then it quickly changed into a glare, as if he wanted to stab him with his gaze. Shen Ji Yun could already tell what this guy was thinking.
Then there was the older brother who seemed surprised at first and then suddenly smiled. But there was nothing remotely kind about that smile. In fact, it gave slight chill behind his back. The only one of the three who seemed to show goodwill was Uncle Luo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was the exact scenario that Shen Ji Yun had imagined. He was still thinking of how he would deal with such a situation, but before he could think of a solution, he unexpectedly met Luo Yan and his family. He didn’t know if he was lucky or the complete opposite.
His uncle was not with him. With Luo Jin’s suspicious nature and Luo Ren’s obviously keen observation, if he told them that he was here with his uncle but the other was not here, they would definitely assume that he was lying! Then, they might even come to the conclusion that he was stalking their brother. Which was true in some sense. But he couldn’t have that be revealed in front of Luo Yan.
What’s the point of him going here if his rabbit would only end up having a bad impression of him?
Not to mention, Uncle Luo was also here. If Uncle Luo also ended up having a bad impression of him, then it’s certain that his road to pursuing Luo Yan would not only be bumpy, it might even be filled with rocks and boulders.
He was suddenly flustered and started to panic. Of course, none of his concerns showed in his ever-expressionless face. He was once again glad that his face had a hard time expressing whatever emotion he was feeling.
He tried his best to calm down. He first greeted Uncle Luo respectfully. "Mr. Luo, it’s really a coincidence meeting you and your family here."
Luo Yan almost cringed at Shen Ji Yun’s bad acting. He still hadn’t gotten over his surprise at seeing him here. But he already had a guess in his heart on why Shen Ji Yun suddenly appeared in this hotel. He narrowed his eyes at him. It seemed like he needed to have a deep talk with this guy.
Luo Wei Tian stared at the young man in front of them. Unlike his second son, he didn’t notice the other’s ’bad acting’. Probably because Shen Ji Yun only had one expression, now and back then when he met him during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Which was no expression at all.
He first wondered why Xiao Yan suddenly stopped walking and then called the young who walked out of the elevator. When he saw this ’Brother Ji Yun’, it didn’t take long for him to remember who the other was. Especially after seeing his blue eyes.
It was the kid from the Shen family of B City. He left quite an impression when he met him during the Mid-Autumn Festival last month. He was a little bit familiar with the kid’s family situation. He could see that the unfortunate situation that the kid experienced didn’t turn him into a timid weakling. Which really left a good impression on Luo Wei Tian. Because he liked people who never gave up despite all the adversities they were facing.
"Yes. What a pleasant coincidence," Luo Wei Tian agreed. "Are you also here on a vacation?"
Shen Ji Yun nodded. "My Uncle and I planned to spend two days here on Chengdu. But Uncle still had some things he had to take care of at his company, so he’s not with me right now. He’ll arrive later in the afternoon. We had already booked our flight, so I just went ahead."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe tried his best to sound as casual as he could. To not sound like he was specifically explaining. He just hoped that it was believable. Because, in a way, he was indeed telling the truth.
What a load of bull crap – Luo Jin almost shouted. He was sure that this guy definitely came here for Luo Yan. Although he didn’t have any evidence, his gut feel was just telling him that. Because how could he just suddenly appear here on the same day that their family just also happened to be here? Could there really be such a convenient coincidence?
Although Luo Ren didn’t have the same ’gut feel’ as his youngest brother, he still had no good feelings for this Shen Ji Yun. So, he turned to Luo Yan and said, "Let’s go? We already wasted too much time here."
Shen Ji Yun had a feeling that he was the ’waste of time’ Luo Ren was talking about.
Luo Yan looked at the duffel bag Shen Ji Yun was carrying and knew that he was about to go to his room. He turned to his father and brothers and nodded. Silently agreeing that they could go.
So, the four of them entered the elevator.
"Oh, I remembered that I have something to say to Brother Ji Yun," he said as if just remembering it. And then before the elevator door closed, he stepped outside. He heard his brothers calling him. So, he shouted back, "Please, wait for me at the lobby!"
And the elevator completely closed.
He then turned at the stunned Shen Ji Yun and smiled. "Now, Brother Ji Yun, shall we go to your room?"
