The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 777 YAN YAN AND AH JIN AT LUNCH

　　THE next day, Luo Yan and Luo Jin had an early lunch. It was because they had to log into the game at least 30 minutes before 12 in the afternoon. From their meeting yesterday, it was decided that they would attack the dungeon today. 

There were only two of them in the dining room. Both their father and older brother were at a ground breaking. It’s for the luxury apartment Tianhua Group was planning to build. This ground breaking was supposed to be held tomorrow. But their father moved it today so he and Luo Ren could free their weekend. That way, all four of them could go to Xiao Xiang Orphanage.

”Yan, haven’t you been too obvious as of late?” Luo Jin suddenly asked.

Luo Yan raised his head. Finishing the dumpling he was eating first before answering the other’s question, “Obvious of what?”

”You know, the one you’ve been doing whenever that Shen Ji Yun was around,” Luo Jin said.

”Ah Jin, you need to be more specific,” Luo Yan said, acting all serious.

Luo Jin only rolled his eyes. “Don’t play coy. I know you understood what I meant.”

Luo Yan chuckled. “Was I really that obvious.”

”More than obvious. It’s like you’re practically yelling to everyone that you like the guy.”

”Really? Then, why do I feel like I’m not ‘yelling’ enough?” Luo Yan said picking up another dumpling with his chopsticks and eating it. “I’m afraid Brother Ji Yun still hadn’t notice it.”

That oblivious guy probably wouldn’t unless he screamed it to his face. Not that he minded, really. He wasn’t in a rush or something. They had all the time in the world to confirm their mutual romance. 

”Then, he’s freaking blind,” Luo Jin said while clipping a piece of barbecued meat and eating it.

”Maybe it’s because he doesn’t feel the same way that’s why he couldn’t feel my ardent love,” Luo Yan said, acting as if he was heartbroken.

Luo Jin only looked at him as if he was a fool. Luo Yan had a feeling that if it would not make him look silly, he would roll his eyes again. 

”That guy likes you. Even I could tell,” Luo Jin said. 

Luo Yan chuckled. Of course, he knew that. Shen Ji Yun’s every action was telling him of that fact. It’s the reason why he wasn’t worried at all about the other’s endless obliviousness when it came to his feelings for him. Because it wouldn’t change the fact that they liked each other. 

He didn’t care that much that they didn’t yet have a proper label to their relationship. It’s almost as good as if they were in a romantic relationship anyway. Besides, he enjoyed seeing the other’s shy expression whenever he flirted with him. So, he didn’t mind continuing on with this status quo for a while longer. 

”But you know, maybe I wasn’t really being that obvious as you might think I am,” he said. “Look, Brother Ze seemed to not have noticed anything.”

Knowing their cousin, he would have already shared that idea to Shen Ji Yun, being the supportive best friend and all. But since none of that happened, it’s safe to say that he also hadn’t realize it. 

”It’s because Brother Ze still has rose-tinted glasses whenever he looks at you,” Luo Jin reasoned. “He’s probably thinking that you’re just being your usual ‘sweet’ self whenever you show your feelings for Shen Ji Yun.”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. That was certainly a possibility. “Then, does that mean that you no longer have rose-tinted glasses whenever you looked at me?”

”I have long taken it off,” Luo Jin responded dryly. “I now can see you for who you really are.”

An amused glint twinkled in Luo Yan’s eyes after hearing that. “And pray tell how exactly you see me now. You know, without the ‘rose-tinted glasses’?”

”A narcissistic, black-bellied guy who enjoys teasing others and loves to do ‘playing pigs, eating tigers’ routine,” Luo Jin said with a straight face.

  Luo Yan held his chest and acted as if he was hurt. “Ah Jin, I didn’t know that’s how you think of me. You’re making me all sad.”

This time, Luo Jin finally couldn’t resist rolling his eyes at him again. Then, he just continued on eating. Telling his brother with his action that he no longer wanted to talk to him. Luo Yan couldn’t help but chuckle.

B City…

Shen Ji Yun just finished eating his lunch. He stood up and put his dirty dishes on the sink. Just as he was about to clean it, he saw his uncle entering the kitchen. The other yawned, showing clearly how he just woke up. His uncle obviously had another all-nighter again.

Looking at his nephew washing dishes, Shen Yi Mu said, “You know you can use the dishwasher.”

”It’s fine. It’s just a couple of dishes anyway,” Shen Ji Yun said. “By the way, Uncle, I already cooked lunch. So, if you want to eat, the food is juts on the table.”

Shen Yi Mu nodded. “Why did you eat lunch so early?”

Usually if the both of them were home, they make it to a point to eat together. 

”My team is about to explore the new dungeon that will go active today,” Shen Ji Yun responded. He put the clean dishes on the rack beside the sink to let it dry.

”Oh? You already know where it is?” Shen Yi Mu asked with interest. As far as he could remember, no hints had been released about that. Well, at least not formally.

”We found some clue. We’re going to check if it’s correct or not.”

”Want me to give you some clue?”

Shen Ji Yun decisively shook his head. “No, that would be cheating.”

Although Shen Yi Mu had already expected such an answer, it still made him grin for some reason.

”By the way, how’s it going with that kid you like?”

At the mention of that, Shen Ji Yun simply felt his whole face burning.
