The Return of the God Level Assassin

B CITY

Su Yuqi took out her VR helmet and put it on the side of her bed. She yawned before getting up. She actually didn’t have enough sleep because she was too into the painting she started yesterday. If not for the reminder of her mother, who just happened to wake up at three in the morning and saw that the lights in her studio was still up, she probably wouldn’t have any sleep.

It’s a bad habit she had since long ago. Whenever she was into painting, she just totally forgot the time.

That’s why she barely slept. If not for the start of the preliminary of Rookie Carnival, she would have slept until afternoon. But since Luo Yan and Luo Jin were now both members of their team, it’s only right for her to watch their very first public fight. It’s like the debut of the two. As a fellow member of Yunyue, it’s only right to show them her support.

She was actually not that surprised to see the result of the first round. She knew that Luo Yan was very capable. With him there, she had no doubt that he and Luo Jin would pass this round with no problem. And sure enough, that was indeed the case.

She was more surprised that others were surprised about it. Especially the older Luo brother, even Bai Ze was one. It just showed how overprotective Luo Yan’s family was. It’s like putting a label of ’fragile: please handle with care’ on him. If she was in his position, she might have already gone insane. It’s a good thing that Luo Yan was much more patient than her.

Well, at least Shen Ji Yun didn’t seem to treat him like some kind of person who couldn’t do anything. That’s good. Because if Shen Ji Yun wanted to be together with Luo Yan, then it’s best to treat the other as equals. Nothing good would come off an unequal relationship.

Su Yuqi walked out of her room, wearing only an oversized shirt and cotton shorts. She rubbed her stomach. She just now realized how hungry she was. She remembered she hadn’t eaten lunch yet. It’s a miracle that her mother didn’t barge into her room just to force her to eat.

Or maybe her mother did. She just saw her wearing a VR helmet, so she didn’t bother her. Because she knew that it would be bad if she forcefully took out the VR helmet. It’s one thing she told her mother when she bought a VR helmet because she knew just how the other loved to barge into her room.

The Su family’s house had a traditional design. Meaning, it’s a collection of courtyards that were connected together to form a house. Her room and her studio were on the leftmost courtyard while the kitchen was on the opposite side. So, she had to walk quite a distance to get there.

But before she reached her destination, two maids stopped her.

"Young miss, these parcels just arrived for you," one of the maids said.

Su Yuqi looked at the two boxes being carried by the two. Then she remembered that Luo Yan said that he bought souvenirs for everyone. These boxed should be it. But wait- why was it two? Did Luo Yan buy him two things? Well, that’s fairly generous of him.

"Thanks. I’ll take them over," she said, taking both boxes.

But the moment she did, she noticed that one was heavier than the other. It was fine, she could still carry both. Then, she stacked both boxes together.

"Young miss, let us carry the boxes!"

"It’s okay," Su Yuqi said before walking back to her room. It seemed that she had to temporarily delay eating first.

In her room, she put both boxes on the table and remove the parcel package. Both boxed had something written on it. One said, [Sister Yuqi, I hope you like this small gift] while the other said, [please, use this well].

Both had different handwriting. So, she knew the boxes were from two different people. The former was most likely from Luo Yan while the latter should be, well, it should be from that kid, right?

She chuckled imagining that black-haired gnome saying the exact same thing.

She first opened the package sent by Luo Yan. It was a white bull cap with a small panda illustration. She took it and put it on. Then she looked at the mirror. She looked from left to right and nodded.

"Not bad."

She carefully hung the cap along with her other hats. Then she walked back to where the other package was. She opened it and her eyes widened slightly when she saw what was inside.

It was an inkstone with carved lotus and crane on it. She could immediately tell that it was made from a high-grade material. Even the workmanship was also pretty good. It must have cost a lot.

She didn’t expect that Luo Jin would actually remember that she was studying Chinese painting. That’s the only reason she could think why he decided to give this kind of gift. She rubbed the edge of the inkstone and a small smile appeared on her usually indifferent face.

"Well, aren’t you thoughtful, Xiao Jin."

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Luo Jin via WeChat. She looked at the inkstone and smiled once again.

At another household in B City, a pair of brothers also received the souvenirs bought to them by Luo Yan.

"This is really from Yan Yan?" Bai Ye asked while hugging the stuffed panda.

"Yes, so make sure to call your Brother Yan later and say thanks, okay?" Sun Xiulan said, rubbing her younger son’s hair.

Bai Ye nodded. "Okay, Mom!"

Bai Ze stared at the shirt in his hands. It had an illustration of a panda eating a mambo. It was drawn in the style of a Chinese painting. Because of that, the shirt didn’t look lame as one would think. In fact, it had its own charm and character.

He smiled. Because this was definitely something he could see himself wearing.

[Ah, Xiao Yan is really an angel.]

He took out his phone and sent a message to Luo Yan. But after that, he suddenly thought of Shen Ji Yun.

Should he also send a message to that friend of his and ask him if the two of them could talk.

Of course, the subject was Luo Yan. He needed to know what exactly was Shen Ji Yun thinking.contemporary romance
