The Return of the God Level Assassin

It’s probably because he was able to have that talk with his brothers yesterday. It was like a heavy weight from his shoulder was finally lifted. Not to mention that he managed to tell them his feelings for Shen Ji Yun. So, it’s not only a weight from his shoulder but also a weight from his heart.

He felt a different kind of happiness. Almost as if he was at peace with everything for the first time since he had been reborn in this body. It’s like, for once, he finally accepted that he could be happy in this identity.

He smiled once again at the mirror before walking out of his room. He went straight to the dining room. His father and elder brother were already there. Luo Jin was probably still in his room.

"Good morning, Dad, Brother!" he greeted and sat down on his usual seat.

"Are you ready to go back to school, Xiao Yan?" Luo Wei Tian asked, putting down the newspaper he was reading.

"Yes, I can’t wait to see my classmates again," Luo Yan answered, particularly Yu Jiao.

"Does the new uniform fit you?"

"Yes, Dad, to a tee," he answered. "It might not be too long before I need another one."

"Well, it seems that your wish to grow taller is slowly becoming a reality," Luo Ren commented.

Looking at his brother’s good mood, Luo Ren wasn’t sure what to feel about that. Because it’s obvious that it’s due to the conversation they had yesterday. So, really, the reason for his good mood was Shen Ji Yun.

Hah, he couldn’t even think of the name of the guy without feeling irritable. It’s like a fresh cabbage on his family’s backyard was picked up by some dirty pig. He shook his head and decided not to think about it. He had to be in a good mood for the rest of the day because there’s still something important he had to do later.

A little while later, Luo Jin arrived at the dining room and they all started to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Luo Yan and Luo Jin prepared to go to school. Luo Jin had already gone inside the car. Luo Yan was about to follow but Luo Ren suddenly stopped him.

"Yan Yan, can you invite Jiao Jiao to eat lunch outside later? I already told Uncle Chu which restaurant to take you," Luo Ren said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Luo Yan raised his head to look at his older brother. He narrowed his eyes. "Brother, are you asking me to be your accomplice?"

Luo Ren was startled by Luo Yan’s question. Then he smiled helplessly. "You’re talking as if I’m planning to do something bad."

Luo Yan smiled. "Are you?"

Luo Ren pinched his brother’s cheek. "Of course not, you cheeky brat."

"Brother, just tell me you wanted to give something to Jiao Jiao. No need to pinch my cheek," Luo Yan complained while rubbing his pinched cheek.

Since his brother mentioned Yu Jiao and inviting her to lunch together in a sentence, she knew that that he’s probably wanting to give the souvenir he bought for her when they were in Chengdu. If Luo Jin had brought something for Su Yuqi, there’s no way their elder brother wouldn’t buy one for the girl he’s crushing on.

Luo Ren was no longer surprised that Luo Yan had already figured out what he’s planning. The other had already proven his incredibly high EQ. It was not really that shocking if he guessed correctly what he’d been up to.

"So, are you going to help your older brother?" he just asked.

"Of course, I’ll help. Who told you to be one of my beloved brothers?"

Luo Ren smiled. "I’m surely thankful for that."

"But we only have an hour of lunch break. Are you sure that’s enough time?" Luo Yan asked his worry. They might spend most of that hour in traffic.

"Don’t worry, the restaurant I picked is near your school. With Uncle Chu’s driving skills, you can arrive there in 10 minutes at most," Luo Ren said.

"Then I’ll message you once our morning class is over."

Luo Ren nodded. "Thank you, Yan Yan."

Luo Yan only grinned before getting in the car. Their driver, Uncle Chu, then started the car and drove out of the mansion’s driveway.

Truthfully, if he personally didn’t know how kind and caring his brother was, he wouldn’t help him with Yu Jiao. After all, Yu Jiao didn’t need someone who would affect her newfound confidence in a negative way. What she needed was someone who would support her emotionally and make her feel that she was worth it. Luo Yan was confident that his older brother could do that.

Of course, if it turned out that Yu Jiao didn’t return his affection, Luo Yan wouldn’t force her just because he was Luo Ren’s brother. He definitely wouldn’t let it affect their friendship. And he believed that Luo Ren wouldn’t be the type to force his affection on someone who didn’t want it.

If his feelings for her was deep enough and not just some momentary interest, then Luo Ren would definitely be patient with her.

"What did Brother talk to you about?" Luo Jin asked.

"He wanted to eat lunch with us later."

Luo Jin showed a confused expression. "Why?"

Luo Yan smiled. "For his love life."

Luo Jin looked even more confused. "What?"

"If Ah Jin wants to know, you can ask Brother yourself." He turned to Luo Jin and smiled at him meaningfully. "Maybe Ah Jin could even learn a thing or two from Brother."
