The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN JI YUN was a bit surprised hearing that. In his cognition, something as important as a confession should be done in a grand gesture. That way, you could show the person you like just how much you liked them.

His uncle’s confession was almost like it came out of the blue. But he also understood why he did that. Because it was simply that ’moment’. A moment when one just needed to bear open their feelings to the person they liked. If they didn’t do that, then that moment would simply be lost and they probably wouldn’t have another chance to tell that special person how important they were to them.

If he was in the same situation, he might also grab that moment and just confess the hell out of it.

"Then, how did Uncle Yue answer Uncle’s confession?" he just asked.

"Well, he didn’t. He was quite shocked that he didn’t even managed to say anything," Shen Yi Mu said, scratching his cheek.

He still remembered how lovely Jiang Yue looked at that moment. He blushed so hard that his whole face turned as red as a ripe tomato. It spread from his face to his neck and to his ears. He was so adorable that Shen Yi Mu almost couldn’t stop himself from hugging him again.

But Jiang Yue was indeed quite shocked by that confession. He was so tongue-tied that he couldn’t even form proper words. So, Shen Yi Mu had to say that he could take the time to think of an answer to his confession. No matter how long he needed. And that he was willing to wait as long as he could.

After he said that, Jiang Yue just nodded like a puppet and ran away from there as fast as he could.

Shen Yi Mu kind of felt lost after that. His mind was just filled with all these negativities. Because Jiang Yue’s reaction to his confession wasn’t really that ideal. But he couldn’t just lose hope. After all, he told Jiang Yue that he would wait for his answer. And so, he would. No matter how long it would take.

"So, Uncle was rejected?" Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked.

The corner of Shen Yi Mu’s lips twitched when he heard that. Why did he keep feeling that this nephew of his had been against him since earlier?

"I told you he didn’t say anything. How did you suddenly equate that to me being rejected?"

"Well, he also didn’t agree, right?" Shen Ji Yun said, not really meaning anything and was simply curious.

Shen Yi Mu sighed. "That’s why I told him that I would wait for his answer."

"Then, how long did Uncle have to wait?"

"Only about a week. On the day of my graduation, I received Ah Yue’s reply."

It was still a very sweet memory in his mind.

=====

The graduation ceremony just ended. Shen Yi Mu was talking to his mother. She was the only one who attended his graduation. His father and eldest brother were both busy. His eldest brother’s family was in another city. While his second brother and his family were at Country Y and so, couldn’t immediately come here.

He didn’t mind. He’s not the type who would bear a grudge just because of that. He’s not that sensitive, after all.

"I can’t believe my baby has already graduated university. Oh, how time flies," his mother said, full of smiles.

"Mom, don’t call me that," he said, feeling embarrassed.

His mother suddenly held his face and pinched both his cheeks. "Oh? Even if you’re this big, you’ll always be my baby."

"Mom, don’t pinch me too much," he said, his voice full of complaint. But he still let his mother pinched him until she’s satisfied.

"Okay. Let’s go and eat," his mother said after she finished pinching him.

Before Shen Yi Mu could agree, the corner of his eye caught a familiar figure hiding behind a tree. It was someone he hadn’t seen or heard of for a week now. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking of the reason why he’s here.

"Mom, can you go on ahead without me? I remembered that there’s something I have to do first," he said. "I promise to go to the restaurant right after I’m done."

"Then try not to take too long," his mother said while fixing his tie.

Shen Yi Mu nodded. After he watched his mother getting into the car and leave, he quickly ran towards the direction where he saw that familiar figure.

Just as he thought, Jiang Yue was there.

"Ah Yue," he called.

Jiang Yue turned to his direction. Even with the thick glasses, Shen Yi Mu could still see the blush that appeared on his face.

"B-Brother Mu, can- can we talk?"

His heart started to beat faster and faster again when he heard that, his heart was full of expectation. "Of course. Should we go to the usual place?"

The place he was talking about was the blind spot area behind the old library building.

"Uhm," Jiang Yue said, nodding his head and not daring to look at his direction.

They started to walk in silence and soon arrived at their destination.

Because Jiang Yue was still not saying anything, Shen Yi Mu decided to speak first.

"Ah Yue, do you already have an answer to my confession?"

He saw the other’s body freeze up the moment he mentioned the word ’confession’. He seemed to be hesitating on what he should say next. Then he clenched both fists tightly as if he had already decided on something. He raised his head and looked straight at Shen Yi Mu.

"Yes," he said as an answer to his question earlier.

Shen Yi Mu stared at Jiang Yue, eagerly waiting for his answer. His heart beating uncontrollably. He felt so nervous that it almost felt like the pit of his stomach had been dug out.

Jiang Yue continued on speaking;

"I- I think Brother Mu must be mistaken. How- how could you possibly fall for someone like me? It’s impossible. I- it’s better if we just forget about it and continue on as if nothing has happened. Okay?"
