Chapter 998: WE"RE VERY CLOSE
AFTER Luo Jin gave their father and older brother a quick hug, Luo Yan quickly followed and hugged the two tightly. They were at the driveway of the Bai family mansion, saying goodbye to the two because they would both go back to S City today.
Luo Wei Tian and Luo Ren had an early flight and were planning to go without waking anyone in the house. They even told Luo Yan and Luo Jin that there"s no need to see them off. And yet the two still woke up early to do just that.
"Call us once you get back," Luo Yan said before letting go of his father.
"We will. Take care while you"re here and don"t make trouble for your uncle, aunt, and grandpa," Luo Wei Tian said, looking at Luo Jin while saying the last part.
Luo Jin quickly retorted, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Am I the only one who could cause trouble? You probably don"t know this, but Yan could definitely cause more trouble than me."
"Ah Jin, how can you say that?" Luo Yan asked, acting as if he was hurt by what Luo Jin said.
"That"s right, Xiao Jin. Just look at your brother. How can someone so beautiful cause trouble?" Luo Wei Tian said in a rather shameless manner.
"Yes," Luo Ren agreed, then added, "And have you already forgotten, Xiao Jin? You have been acting like a delinquent until last year, getting into all kinds of trouble."
"A delinquent? How can that be when I heard that our Ah Jin was constantly top of his cla.s.s since elementary school?" Luo Yan said rather exaggeratedly. His eyes were twinkling with amus.e.m.e.nt, obviously teasing his younger brother.
"Well, he"s an honor student delinquent," Luo Ren said with a shrug, putting together words that would normally be in the same sentence together.
"Hmm... but isn"t our Xiao Jin more of an ally of justice than a delinquent? After all, all the people he beat up were the real delinquents," Luo Wei Tian said, adding in with the fun.
Of course, the star of all this, the amazing young master Jin, had already turned into a bright red tomato. He didn"t expect that his dark history would be aired like this here.
He looked at his father and brothers, feeling betrayed. "Are you feeling proud, ganging up on me like this?"????????.???
As an answer to that, Luo Yan simply hugged the other. "What ganging up? We"re clearly showing our love for you!"
Then he looked at his father and older brother, silently inviting them with his eyes to do a group hug. Something that the two readily did.
And with that warm group hug amidst the cold weather, the four members of the Luo family temporarily bid farewell to each other.
Luo Yan spent time with his grandpa after breakfast, reading him books, listening to his stories, and just doing what the other requested. This had been his daily routine since he arrived here. Not only him, but Luo Jin, and sometimes Bai Ze and Bai Ye, would often accompany their grandfather.
Of course, except for the days that he had to go to a meeting with his teammates. But he would make up for it by spending more time with his grandfather the next day. Since he and Luo Jin could only be here for a month at most, he wanted to spend more time with their grandfather.
The next time he would probably have a chance like this was when the military training started for incoming university freshmen. Which would probably be six months from now. And even then, he could only stay here for a few days since he had to stay at the university he would be admitted to.
That"s why he wanted to cherish the time he spent with his grandfather as much as possible. Especially since the qualifying matches in Arcadia Cup had already started. There would be days when he had to spend hours inside the game.
Luo Yan looked at his grandfather, who had already fallen asleep while he was reading him a book. He quietly closed the book, put it on the shelf, and then carefully adjusted the comforter, making sure that his grandfather was snugly covered. After that, he walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked into the living room, his footsteps faltered when he saw the tall, handsome man sitting beside Aunt Xiulan.
[Brother Ji Yun?]—he almost blurted out.
Being surprised was only a natural reaction since the two of them decided to meet just after lunch. But it was only 10:30 in the morning right now.
The other also quickly noticed him and stood up. The corner of his mouth turning up ever slightly, showing just how happy he was seeing him.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yun just arrived," Aunt Xiulan said. "He said the two of you have an appointment today?"
Luo Yan quickly came back to his senses and walked forward.
"Yes, I have some questions about computer science and since it"s Brother Ji Yun"s major, he kindly offered to give me some insights," he said, quickly making up an excuse.
"Oh. I did hear from Wei Tian that you want to take that major," Aunt Xiulan said, not suspecting anything at all.
"Then we"ll be going first, Aunt Xiulan. I"ll be back before it"s time for dinner," Luo Yan said before turning to Shen Ji Yun. "Brother Ji Yun, wait here. I"ll just get my coat."
And then he immediately rushed to his room. He was already dressed to go out, and he only needed a coat and a scarf, as well as gloves. Since both Luo Jin and Bai Ze were currently playing in Arcadia, and Bai Ye was still asleep, this was the perfect time to leave.
"I didn"t know you two are so close," Aunt Xiulan commented after Luo Yan almost practically ran to the second floor.
A slight smile appeared on Shen Ji Yun"s ever expressionless face. "Yes, we"re very close."
