The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

"HEY, Ah Jin, don't stare at Jiao Jiao so much," Luo Yan commented.  Then, he whispered, "Or else, I will tell on Brother."

Luo Jin was startled by that last sentence.  He annoyingly glared at his brother.  "Yan, you tattletale," he whispered back.

Luo Yan only smiled sweetly at the other.

Yu Jiao, who didn't hear the full conversation of the two, said, "It's okay, Yan Yan.  Luo Jin must just find it weird seeing me like this."

"It's not that it's weird.  You just look exactly like your game avatar," Luo Jin corrected.  "It's a bit… jarring."

"Of course, she'd look like her game avatar.  It's base on her appearance, after all," Luo Yan said.  "Doesn't Ah Jin also look like his game avatar?"

Luo Jin refused to comment on that.  But deep inside, he was already shouting, 'how could I look like that shrimp?'.

"Both you and your avatar are so cute," Luo Yan added in a teasing tone.

Of course, Luo Jin blushed in embarrassment.  "Yan--!"

Yu Jiao chuckled seeing the banter between the two.  At times like this, she could really see how close the bond between the two brothers was.  Not just the two but Luo Ren as well.  It's like they're the perfect example when it came to siblings who truly got along and not afraid to show their love and care for each other. 

If she ever had kids in the future, she also wanted them to have this kind of bond.  She would be the happiest mother in the world if that were to happen.  She shook her head.  Before thinking about kids, she probably should worry first if there would even be someone who would be willing to be her partner.

She sighed and, again, resisted the urge to slap herself.  Her bad habit of looking down on herself was coming to the surface again.  She might be a bit plain and sharp-looking, her personality not so charming, but surely, there would be a person out there who would accept her and love her as she was.  All flaws and imperfection included.

With that positive thought, she continued to walk with the two brothers to the small restaurant they always went to for lunch. 

Arriving there, the three of them quickly ordered meals from the only waiter.  While they were waiting for their food, Yu Jiao decided to finally ask Luo Yan about the thing she wanted to ask about since yesterday.

"Ahm, Yan Yan, did you perhaps meet with Mr. Mo or Mo Jian during the past few days after I was hospitalized?" she asked.  "Oh, I didn't mean anything else by asking you this.  I'm just curious about something."

Luo Yan didn't mind because he quickly understood what the other was trying to say.  Mo Guang Lin must have brought Mo Jian to apologize to Yu Jiao or something along those lines.  After all, that was included on the conversation he and Luo Jin heard when they were eavesdropping on the two.  If that's the case, then it's no wonder that Yu Jiao was asking this question.

"I didn't visit them.  But we did a little something," he said.

Yu Jiao quickly caught on the important part of what the other said.  "We?"

Luo Yan grinned.  "Yes, us, three brothers."

Three brothers?  Then, that also included Luo Ren?  Yu Jiao couldn't think of what the three could have possibly done to make Mr. Mo realized his mistakes.  To the point that he even admitted to her and her mother that Mo Jian was the one in the wrong.  The daughter that couldn't do any wrong in his eyes.

Somehow, this information only sparked her curiosity even more.

"For the record, I didn't do much in this, except for sitting in a café and eavesdropping," Luo Jin said.

"Hey, Ah Jin don't say that.  Don't you know that just by being there by my side, you gave me tremendous moral support?" Luo Yan said exaggeratedly.  His big peach blossom eyes even looked like they were shining.

Luo Jin just felt goosebumps, not the scary kind but the you know, the creepy kind.  Because he knew that the other was definitely just acting.  "Stop it and just tell Yu Jiao what happened," he said before this brother of his started teasing him again. 

Luo Yan then explained to Yu Jiao all the details that led to the events that happened yesterday.  As she listened, she just became more and more amazed.  Although Luo Yan said that it was the combined effort of him and his brothers, it was quite obvious that he was the 'brain of the operation'.  If not for him, this plan would probably not even start.

Not that she's neglecting Luo Ren's help in all this.  Without someone with enough authority to move things along in a certain direction, the plan Luo Yan concocted wouldn't go as smoothly. 

Aside from that, Luo Ren also didn't have any obligation to do any of these.  Going as far as paying for an article like that to be put on the trending spot of Weibo and even buying water armies to lead people's opinion.  It must have cost quite the money.  Although it's probably not even a drop compared to the Luo family's wealth.  But still. 

With this, it could be seen just how much Luo Ren really cared about Luo Yan.  Because he would obviously not do the things he did if the Luo Yan didn't request it.  In short time he had known Luo Yan, she knew just how protective he was of the people he cared about.  Luckily enough, she had now become part of that sphere.

Honestly, she didn't expect that he would do so much just so Mo Jian would no longer bother her.  It was surprising, yes.  But definitely not unwelcome. 

Incredible warmth filled her heart.  She truly was very fortunate to meet Luo Yan.  More than that, she was thankful that when he reached out his hand to her, she took it and didn't let herself be overcome with fear.

She would forever remember that point in her life.  Because that was the starting point of her change.  Like a caterpillar that entered metamorphosis.  Maybe one day, she could also become a butterfly.

And a huge part of that was thanks to Luo Yan.

Yu Jiao turned to Luo Yan and smiled.  "Thank you, Yan Yan."
