THE Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated in many East Asian communities. In Country Z, it’s a reunion time for families, much like Thanksgiving. It’s also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival. It traditionally fell on the 15th day of eight month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which was September or early October in the Gregorian calendar.
This year, it fell on the 13th of September.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was the second most important festival in Country Z after Chinese New Year. It’s often celebrated by gathering for dinner and lighting paper lanterns. There were also a lot of places one could visit together with their family during this time. There were parks where one could view the moon more clearly. One could also visit temples. There were even places that had a lantern festival where people could watch beautiful lanterns being paraded.
This year the Mid-Autumn festival holiday would last for three days. During these three days, there were no classes in all levels and most companies gave their employees a temporary vacation.
Of course, the same was true for the Luo family.
The four members of the Luo family were now currently on board a plane. They were on the 10 a.m. flight to B City. The would probably arrive there a little after 12 in the afternoon. Just right for lunch.
Luo Yan was feeling a bit nervous at first. Because this was the first time he ever flew on a plane. He was startled at first when the plane took off. He really thought he would experience motion sickness. But he surprisingly didn’t. Maybe because they were sitting on first class and everything was just too comfortable. It almost felt like he was in a hotel rather than a plane. Being rich really had its perks. contemporary romance
"Xiao Yan, do you feel uncomfortable?" his father asked.
Luo Yan turned to his father who was sitting beside him. This was probably the fifth time his father asked this question since the plane took off. They were sitting together while Luo Ren and Luo Jin were sitting together on the seats behind them.
There was actually a little argument earlier on who would sit beside him. Luo Ren said since he was the most attentive among them, he should sit beside Luo Yan. Which their youngest brother immediately refuted. Saying that since they’ve always been together, it’s only natural that he would be more attentive since he knew more about Luo Yan. But at the end, it was their father who won by exercising his rights as the head of the family.
It really was quite funny. But warmth also filled his heart as he watched them. Because he felt absolutely loved. And he couldn’t be more thankful for that.
"I feel a bit cold," he just chose to say. Because he felt that if he didn’t let his father take care of him, he would just continuously ask if he’s feeling alright.
"Wait- I’ll ask for a blanket for you."
Luo Wei Tian then called a flight attendant and asked for a blanket.
Luo Yan noticed that the flight attendant was giving his father furtive glances. She probably thought that she was being stealthy about it. But Luo Yan couldn’t help but notice, especially when her gaze was almost glued to his father. It was actually the same with the other flight attendants.
He couldn’t exactly blame them. Even if Luo Wei Tian was already a father of three, the youngest being 16, he was still very handsome. Add that to his wealth and he’s definitely one of the most sought-after bachelor in the country. But sadly, for anyone who wanted to be ’Mrs. Luo’, it would only be an unattainable dream. Because, even now, Luo Yan could tell that there’s only one person in his father’s heart – Bai Mei Hua. And that would probably never change in his father’s lifetime.
The flight attendant returned with the blanket. "Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"No," Luo Wei Tian said coldly, not even looking at the flight attendant.
The flight attendant left dejectedly.
When Luo Wei Tian turned to him, the coldness was gone and he was back to being the gentle and doting father. Luo Yan almost laughed at the difference in treatment. His father gently put the blanket on his lap.
"Try to sleep. I’ll wake you up once we arrive."
Luo Yan smiled. "Okay. Thanks, Dad!"
Luo Wei Tian tapped his nose. "What thanks? This is something I should do."
Luo Yan only smiled and tried to find a more comfortable position. Before his consciousness fell into a deep sleep, he suddenly thought of his newly-found pet – Eclipse.
Before logging out last night, he had a talk with his black fox.
=====
[Eclipse, listen, I have to leave tomorrow and I’ll only be back on Sunday evening. So, you have to behave while I’m away, okay?]
Eclipse big sapphire blue eyes suddenly became watery. [Ish Mashter already abandoning Eclipsh?]
[No, silly. I told you, I’ll be back. And why are you suddenly referring to yourself in third person?]
Eclipse tilted his head. [Because itsh cute?]
Luo Yan had no plan to change his way of speaking. If he wanted to talk cutely, then fine. But there’s one thing they had to change, at least. [While I’m gone, I want Eclipse to practice speaking. So when I return, your lisp would be gone. If you accomplish this, there’s a reward for you.]
[A reward?]
[Yes. A very big reward.]
Eclipse’s eyes shone even brighter when he heard that. [Okay, Mashter. Eclipsh will definitely practice!]
Luo Yan patted his head gently. "Good boy."
=====
Luo Yan was awakened by the gentle shaking of his shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the handsome face of his father.
"Dad?"
"We’ve arrived, Xiao Yan."
"Get up sleepy head," said a voice from above.
He looked up and saw Luo Jin’s face peering down at him.
"If Yan Yan is still sleepy, Brother could hold you and you can continue sleeping," Luo Ren standing beside Luo Jin suddenly suggested.
"No, if there’s someone who should hold Xiao Yan, it should be me," their father immediately said.
Luo Yan quickly stood up. "No, I’m fine. I already slept enough."
If he didn’t say that, then these two might really just hold him.
The four walked down the plane. Finally, they arrived at B City!
