The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)

LUO JIN'S face heated up at the question. He tried to act natural, but the blush on his face proved how flustered he was. Still, he answered Luo Yan's question honestly.

"Yes, I am." He cleared his throat, putting on a tough act. "Is there a problem?"

Luo Yan stared at his younger brother. He didn't expect that the other would actually admit that so straightforwardly. He thought Luo Jin would do his usual antics whenever he teased him about Su Yuqi. Like stuttering while telling him exactly the opposite of what he's feeling. But lo and behold, the other really just admitted that he liked Su Yuqi.

He put his hands over his mouth and gasped exaggeratedly. "Who are you and where did you hide my tsundere brother?"

This time, the blush that appeared on Luo Jin's face was not because of the shyness of love but because of pure embarrassment.

"You--what tsun-tsudere are you talking about?"

Luo Yan pointed to him instead of answering directly. The playful smile on the other's lips annoyed Luo Jin even further.

"What tsundere? Do you think I'm an anime character?"

"How could that be? Doesn't Ah Jin know that real-life tsunderes really exist? Aren't you here as a live example?" Luo Yan said in a tone as if what he said was really the truth. "But you know, doesn't our Ah Jin look as handsome as an anime character?"

This time, Luo Jin just felt helpless after hearing his brother's nonsense. "Is that really going to be your reaction after I just admit something big here?"

He thought that the other would just continue to tease him or make comments that didn't really make sense. That's why when Luo Yan suddenly patted his head, he was startled and almost jumped on his seat.

"Good job. Our Ah Jin has finally grown up."

When Luo Jin was about to feel moved, the other really just had to say something that ruined the mood.

"You're now ready to step on the world of adults. If you need any advice, just tell me. After all, I'm now a relationship expert," Luo Yan added, proudly patting his chest.

At that point, Luo Jin finally couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes at the other. "You know what, never mind. Just go back to chatting with your... your- whatever the hell is Shen Ji Yun."

Luo Yan smiled playfully. "You mean boyfriend?"

Luo Jin acted like he had goosebumps. "Argh... don't say it out loud. Hearing you say it makes it seem more real."

Luo Yan chuckled at his brother's reaction. "It's very much real though. So, you should get used to it." After a while, he added in a much more serious tone. "Well, I'm actually happy that you confide in me about your feelings for Sister Yuqi. That's why when I said you can ask me for advice, I mean it."

Luo Jin was also a bit surprised by the sudden serious turn of the conversation. He cleared his throat and tried to act all dignified.

"Ahem, I just felt it's unfair not to admit my own feelings when you bravely admitted yours to Brother and me. Heck, I even know about Brother's love life. If I continue to deny my own feelings, it's not only unfair to the both of you but also to Su Yuqi. Besides, who would want to be with a person who feels embarrassed about their feelings for the person they like?"

Luo Yan smiled and ruffled Luo Jin's hair. "Aww... our Ah Jin has really grown up."

Luo Jin quickly dodged. "Hey, not my hair!"

Luo Ren parked the car on a vacant spot. He just now arrived at the apartment building where Yu Jiao and her mother lived. Before going out of the car, he checked his appearance first on the rearview mirror. After making sure that not one strand of his hair was out of place, he finally opened the door of the driver's seat and walked out of the car.

He started walking towards the building.

Luo Yan was the one who invited Yu Jiao and her mother to have lunch with their family. According to his brother, the other refused at first saying that she and her mother couldn't intrude like that. But with Luo Yan's persuasive power, he finally convinced Yu Jiao.

Luo Ren got on the elevator and got off when he reached the floor where Yu Jiao and her mother's apartment was. He walked towards their apartment room and pressed the doorbell when he finally stopped in front of their door.

The one who opened the door was Yu Jiao's mother.

"Good morning, Aunt Xiuying," Luo Ren greeted first with a gentle smile on his face.

"Oh, Xiao Ren is here. Did Yan Yan also come with you?"

The other tried to look behind him, seemingly trying to find Luo Yan. Luo Ren could barely maintain the smile on his face.

This was the reason why he didn't let Luo Yan accompany him. Because it was so obvious that Yu Jiao's mother preferred him over Luo Ren. Which was understandable. Considering that he was Yu Jiao's first friend at their school. But that didn't mean that he wouldn't feel, well, a bit bad about it.

Yes, he knew it was petty to feel that way. It's even more unreasonable to think of his brother as a prospective rival considering that the other only saw Yu Jiao as a friend. Especially more so since he already had a boyfriend. But what could Luo Ren do? He couldn't stop his immature side to feel that way.

He shook his head and just responded to Aunt Xiuying's question.

"No, Aunt Xiuying. Yan Yan was still sleeping when I left. It seems that he was too excited for you and Jiao Jiao's visit that he could barely sleep last night."

Of course, that's bull. But he couldn't just say that it's because he was being childish that's why he stopped his brother from accompanying him here.

Right?
