Chapter 881: I NO LONGER APPROVE
Chapter 881: I NO LONGER APPROVE
SHEN JI YUN'S whole face turned into a ripe tomato as soon as he heard Eclipse's question. He couldn't say anything and was just panicking inside. Not because he didn't want to, of course. But because he's worried that Luo Yan would think that things were going a bit fast, he didn't know how to react.
Seeing him like this, a playful arch appeared on Luo Yan's lips. He looked at Shen Ji Yun and said in a teasing tone, "Shall we get married?"
Shen Ji Yun's face that was already bright red became even redder. In fact, it was now close to crimson. If this happened in reality, his heart might even be beating profusely right now.
"Yan Yan- you- don't tease me, please. Or I might just take it seriously," he said, trying to sound stern. But deep inside, he was already imagining what their wedding would be like.
Of course, right now, they could probably only do it inside the game. But he would have really loved to do it in real life. Even though same-sex marriage was still not legal in this country, they could just go abroad and do it. But definitely not right now. Maybe someday once both of them had stable jobs, something like that.
"Captain, are you rejecting my master's proposal?" Eclipse suddenly said. "If you are, then why is Captain smiling?" he added as if he couldn't understand. "Ah, is it because Captain is acting coquettish right now?"
Luo Yan blinked and barely held back his laughter. Bai Ze, on the other hand, had no trouble laughing out loud. It didn't help that Shen Ji Yun's expression was also very funny. It was torn between embarrassment and annoyance mixed with a bit of anger.
"Captain, why is your face like that?" Eclipse asked, tilting his head. "Do you want to poop?"
Hearing that, Luo Yan finally couldn't stop himself from laughing and Bai Ze laughed even harder. Even Su Yuqi had a small smirk on her face.
Shen Ji Yun narrowed his eyes at Eclipse. The look in his eyes was enough for the little boy to jump and hide behind Luo Yan.
"Master, Captain looks like he wants to hit Eclipse!" Eclipse then looked at Shen Ji Yun from behind Luo Yan with a hurt expression. "How can you look at Eclipse that way, Captain? Eclipse is so cute, why do you want to hit me? No, as master's nominal son, I no longer approve of this marriage!"
The other said that last part like a snobbish mother telling his son's poor lover that he didn't approve of them. The only thing lacking was him throwing a check at Shen Ji Yun.
Shen Ji Yun could already feel a headache coming because of Eclipse's antics. Was this little guy doing this on purpose to increase his blood pressure? Because if he was, then he's doing a very good job of it.
Luo Yan chuckled. He patted Eclipse's head and then said to Shen Ji Yun, "Don't worry, Brother Ji Yun, I will convince my nominal son to accept you as his stepfather."
Shen Ji Yun blushed once again.
"You know, I'm really enjoying this little skit, but if you want to talk to Ah Jin, you should probably go now," Su Yuqi interrupted, telling Shen Ji Yun where he could find Luo Jin. "If he's not there, message me."
Shen Ji Yun seemed to return to his senses after what Su Yuqi said. He nodded and turned to Luo Yan. "I'll go."
"Brother Ji Yun, Ah Jin might say some mean things because of his anger. But please remember that he most likely doesn't mean it," Luo Yan said before the other could leave. "It's only because he loves me and worries about me."
Shen Ji Yun stopped and then said, "I know."
After that, he teleported to the place where Luo Jin supposedly was.
"Then, I'll go too," Su Yuqi said, standing up from her seat. She turned to Luo Yan and smiled. "Congrats to you and Shen Ji Yun."
Luo Yan smiled back. "Thank you, Sister Yuqi."
Then, the other also teleported out of there.
Luo Yan glanced at Eclipse who's still sulking. "So, is the captain no longer your favorite captain?"
"He still is. But if he wants to get Eclipse's forgiveness, he has to give me tons of Mana fruit," Eclipse said with a pout.
"I'll let him know about it," Luo Yan said. He happened to glance at Bai Ze at that moment. Noticing the other's expression, he told Eclipse, "Eclipse, can you go and play by yourself outside for a while?"
Eclipse seemed like he wanted to ask why. But after seeing Luo Yan's expression, he just nodded and ran outside.
"Are you alright, Brother Ze?" he asked the other.
Bai Ze stared at his cousin, making sure that he wouldn't miss any of the other's expression as he asked the questions he'd been meaning to ask since earlier.
"Xiao Yan, do you like Ji Yun? As in the same way that he likes you? That you got into this relationship knowing full well what it meant?"
Luo Yan just legally turned into an adult. The other might not fully understand the meaning of being in a relationship with a member of the same sex. As his cousin, he felt that there's a need for him to confirm that. Although Shen Ji Yun was his closest friend, if Luo Yan showed even a shred of confusion, Bai Ze would make sure that the two end this relationship right at this instant.
Luo Yan quickly understood what his cousin was worried about. So, he smiled and answered honestly, "Yes to all questions." He stared at the other, making sure not to avert his gaze and added with all the sincerity he could muster, "I love him, Brother Ze."
Bai Ze was quite surprised hearing and seeing such honesty. But because of that, he could finally breath a sigh of relief. A genuine smile appeared on his face.
"Then, I guess a congratulation is in order," he said.
