Chapter 878: SIMILAR GAZE
AFTER the morning class, Luo Yan, Yu Jiao, and Luo Jin all went to their usual restaurant. As they were walking, Luo Yan received a WeChat message from Shen Ji Yun.[luckycloud]: Can I tell Bai Ze about us?
Luo Yan stopped walking when he read that. Hmm... Shen Ji Yun probably wanted to share the good news to at least one of his friends. And Bai Ze was the closest one to him. It\'s only natural to want to brag about one\'s relationship to your best friend, especially someone whom you trusted.
The problem here was, Bai Ze was his cousin. Aside from feeling awkward, there\'s also the worry of his family finding out. It\'s not that Luo Yan was scared or worried that he would be disowned or that his family would be disgusted by him. No, he\'s certain that would never happen.
His father, as well as his brothers, didn\'t have that kind of prejudice towards same-sex couple. They would be content as long as he\'s happy. The problem was getting them to stage of being \'content\'.
Their first reaction would definitely be \'violence\'. Especially his father. It\'s probably even worse because the other wasn\'t suspecting Shen Ji Yun at all. It\'s not that his father\'s sixth sense had been dulled, the possibility of Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun being in a romantic relationship just never crossed his mind.
This was most likely because the other\'s first impression was so strong that his father probably just couldn\'t fathom the thought of Shen Ji Yun being capable of romance. Well, who could blame his father, really? Anyone who first saw Shen Ji Yun would think of him as cold and emotionless.
He\'s obviously anything but those two things. But Luo Yan was probably only one of the few who knew that.
It definitely helped them in this situation though. If his father was his usual observant self, he would have already been suspicious of Shen Ji Yun. Luo Yan knew that his brothers were suspicious at least. No, in fact, they were probably already beyond suspicious.
Luo Yan believed that one of these days, the two would most likely confront him about it.
[luckycloud]: If it\'s not okay, that\'s fine.
Luo Yan\'s attention returned to the present when he saw the message. Shen Ji Yun must have sent because he didn\'t reply for a while. The other must have thought that he didn\'t agree.
He smiled inwardly. He contemplated for a while, thinking of what kind of decision he should make. It didn\'t take long for him to make a decision though.
[yanyan1213]: Let\'s announce it to everyone in the team later.
That\'s better than keeping it a secret. After all, the two of them were so obvious, it would be a miracle if none of the members of their team had noticed it. Of course, that could easily be solved with the two of them avoiding being touchy-feely towards each other or looking gooey-eyed towards another. But why would Luo Yan do that?
It took them quite a while before they reached this stage. Well, not really in the literal sense. It just felt that way to him. Probably because he realized Shen Ji Yun\'s feelings for him early on.
Anyway, the two of them were a new couple. He didn\'t want to act all stealthy when it came to his relationship with Shen Ji Yun. The game was one of the few places where they could act freely without the judgment of others. So, why should they have to hide?
Shen Ji Yun\'s reply came a bit late, probably because the other was too surprised by his response.
[luckycloud]: Okay. *attached rabbit sticker holding a sign saying \'thank you\'*
Luo Yan chuckled seeing that usual cute rabbit.
"Yan Yan?" Yu Jiao called from the front.
Luo Yan looked ahead, he didn\'t even notice that he had already lagged behind. "Coming!"
-----
After school...
The driver started the car where Luo Yan and Luo Jin were. It was about to pass the school gate when Luo Yan saw something that truly surprised him. There, just outside of the gate, a car was parked. It\'s not really the car that surprised him but the one standing outside and leaning against it.
"Uncle Tan, please stop the car for a moment," he told the driver.
The other stopped the car. "What\'s wrong, second young master?"
Luo Jin also looked at Luo Yan with a questioning gaze.
Instead of responding, Luo Yan lowered the window and called, "Uncle Yi Mu?"
The man leaning on the car turned to their direction. The other looked truly surprised seeing him. "Xiao Yan?"
Luo Yan climbed down of the car and ran towards the other. "What are you doing here, Uncle Yi Mu?"
Shen Yi Mu, who\'s finally back to his senses, smiled at the teenager. His nephew did mentioned to him that Luo Yan and the youngest of the Luo family went to school here. He just didn\'t expect to meet Luo Yan here.
"Hello, Xiao Yan," he greeted the other first. "Well, I\'m here waiting for someone. Are you about to go home?"
Luo Yan nodded. He wanted to ask when the other arrived here and what\'s his business for coming here. But before he could, a familiar figure walked to them.
"Brother Mu—" The school councilor stopped on his tracks when he saw Luo Yan. "Oh, hello, student Luo."
"Hello, Teacher Jiang," Luo Yan greeted back. Then he looked back and forth between the other and Shen Yi Mu before stopping his gaze at the latter. "It seemed that the one you\'re waiting for is here, Uncle Yi Mu."
Shen Yi Mu looked at Jiang Yue with a gentle gaze. "Yes."
Luo Yan looked at the way Shen Yi Mu was looking at Teacher Jiang. Why did he suddenly have the illusion that he was looking at Shen Ji Yun? Because it was the same way Shen Ji Yun gazed at him.
