"HI, Ah Jin," Luo Yan called. He tried his best to act as normally as he could. Just looking at his brother’s suspicious gaze, if he didn’t do that much, he would definitely be much more suspicious that he was now. He took the glass of water he was planning to take and drank it.
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes at his second brother. He observed the expression on his face and saw that it was as normal as before. But if he thought about it carefully, there’s no way Luo Yan would feel guilty about going to an amusement park with that guy. Albeit it being a virtual one. Because in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with it. Which was really frustrating for Luo Jin.
And the fact that they didn’t see even the shadows of the two when they were searching for them at that amusement park was making him even more frustrated. Seriously, it was like they were just running in circles. At the end, all they could do was leave.
The only good thing that probably came out of it was that he managed to spend some time with Su Yuqi. He stopped himself and shook his head. Was this even the time to think about that? There was much more important thing to focus on.
"Yan, did you go to that Tropical Land with Shen Ji Yun?" he just straight up asked.
"Yes," Luo Yan didn’t hesitate to answer.
See? Luo Jin knew that would be his second brother’s reaction. It just frustrated him even more. How could Luo Yan seriously not feel the danger of being alone with Shen Ji Yun? Did he simply not have any sense of danger or was he simply too oblivious? Either way was not good.
"You said you’re going to do some hidden task. Why did you end up with Shen Ji Yun at some virtual amusement park?" he asked, his tone full of interrogation.
"We did do a hidden task. It had something to do with locating a moon elf that was working at Tropical Land. But as it turned out, the moon elf resigned about nine days ago. So, we had to look for information about where he could be. That’s why Brother Ji Yun and I went around the amusement park interviewing NPCs," Luo Yan explained.
Luo Jin listened to Luo Yan. He could see that the other was not lying. It seemed to be really the case. But could there really be such coincidence in the world? It seemed more possible that Shen Ji Yun tricked his second brother to go to that place. Maybe that was the case. Maybe he just lured him there with the information that this moon elf they were looking for was working there.
"But why do you have to do the hidden task with that guy?"
"Ah, because the hidden task was given to the two of us?" Luo Yan said as if the answer was so obvious.
He could actually see the thoughts in Luo Jin’s face. This kid was probably thinking about some sort of incredulous thing in his head right now. And with his bias against Shen Ji Yun clouding him, it would not certainly be good. So, he needed to make him understand that whatever it was he was thinking of was not the case at all.
"Ah Jin, I know you have some sort of prejudice against Brother Ji Yun. And I know that no matter how much I tell you that he’s kind and good, you’ll still be biased against him. But I hope that that bias won’t hinder in you believing in what I’m saying. Brother Ji Yun and I went to Tropical Land for a hidden task and that’s the truth of it," he added, his tone full of seriousness.
Well, he’s not exactly lying. Because he and Shen Ji Yun did go there for the hidden task. Although the other had some sort of hidden agenda, a.k.a. ’date’, he wasn’t supposed to know about it. So, it didn’t matter.
He looked at his younger brother who seemed to be starting to feel guilty. But Luo Yan knew that that wasn’t enough for Luo Jin to stop interrogating him. In short, he needed a killer move first.
So, he appeared all sad. Like he couldn’t believe Luo Jin was suddenly acting like he did something bad for no reason.
"Does Ah Jin think I’m lying?" he asked with teary eyes. "Or does Ah Jin simply think that spending time alone with Brother Ji Yun is some sort of crime?"
Luo Jin suddenly became speechless. He was panicking because of the thought that Luo Yan might cry at any second. But he also felt incredulous because of his second statement. Why did it suddenly sound like he was some sort of unreasonable person? Was that how his second brother saw him? Because of his constant yapping that he shouldn’t be alone with that Shen Ji Yun?
That was most probably the case. Because in Luo Yan’s eyes, that guy was ’kind’ and ’good’. So, Luo Jin would come off as the unreasonable brother who kept getting in the way of the two spending time together.
He suddenly wanted to laugh dryly. In outsider’s eyes, that would certainly be how it looked like. No matter how much he told Luo Yan that Shen Ji Yun had some sort of ulterior motive in getting close to him, his brother just simply thought that he was exaggerating.
If Luo Yan was a girl, then it wouldn’t be hard to convince him. But he’s a boy. He probably didn’t even have the concept of same-sex love. That’s why he couldn’t feel the danger of Shen Ji Yun.
Luo Jin let out a frustrated sigh. "Don’t cry. You know that’s not it. I’m just worried about you."
Luo Yan bit down on his lower lip and still acted stubborn. "I know. But Ah Jin should also not see Brother Ji Yun as some sort of villain. I told you, he’s not a bad guy. He would never do anything to hurt me."
That last part was actually full of his true thoughts. Because he really believed that. In fact, Shen Ji Yun would probably hurt himself than hurt Luo Yan.
"And that mentality is the reason why you’re still a kid," Luo Jin said in frustration.
Before Luo Yan could retort back, another voice spoke at that moment.
"What are you two doing?"
Both Luo Yan and Luo Jin turned their head at the entrance of the kitchen and saw their older brother standing there. He looked like he just returned from work.
Luo Yan immediately dashed forward and hugged Luo Ren’s waist. "Brother, Ah Jin is bullying me!" contemporary romance
"Yan--!" Luo Jin called, his face filled with unbelieving expression.
Luo Ren looked at Luo Jin and smiled. "Oh? I wonder why Xiao Jin is bullying Yan Yan."
Luo Jin felt goosebumps seeing their older brother’s smile.
Luo Yan then turned his head towards Luo Jin and smiled mischievously at the other. [Who told you to call me a kid?]
Luo Jin who saw this smile gritted his teeth. Luo Yan was showing him his dark side again. And this time, he was the target!
[This kid--!]
