The Return of the God Level Assassin

"HOW can you tell her first before me? Aren’t I your best friend? Or have you replaced me with Su Yuqi without me even knowing?" Bai Ze exclaimed in a very emotional manner. It was like he’s a little wife who just discovered that his husband was cheating.

Of course, what he’s feeling was indeed pretty similar. He just found out about Shen Ji Yun’s feelings for his cousin yesterday. But seeing Su Yuqi’s reaction, it’s pretty obvious that he had long known about it way longer than he did.

He felt a bit sad. After all, just as he said earlier, he was his best friend. Although he was also friends with Su Yuqi, Bai Ze at least thought that a huge fact like this would be told to him first. And yet, it felt like he was the last one to know.

"Please, don’t be so overdramatic. You really think Shen Ji Yun would tell me something like that on his own accord? I’m simply good at observing. And he had no choice bit to admit it," Su Yuqi said, rolling her eyes at Bai Ze. "It’s your fault for being too oblivious. Heck, even Luo Jin had noticed it long before you."

Bai Ze suddenly felt like he was struck on the face. So, it was all because he was too dense? Well, if it was any consolation, at least Shen Ji Yun told this matter to him himself.

"If the two of you are done, perhaps you could stop revealing my secret to another person."

After Shen Ji Yun said that, the two people bickering turned to the silent Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao, who had been silent the whole time, started fidgeting. She gripped the helm of her shirt. If her game avatar could sweat, her back would probably be soaked by now.

She was about to say goodbye and log out when Bai Ze and Su Yuqi started talking. She couldn’t insert a word between them and before she knew it, she was already listening to someone’s secret.

What else could it be if not that?

Because as dense as she could be sometimes, especially when it came to the romantic kind of emotion, she was still not that dense to be unable to understand what they were talking about. The fact that Shen Ji Yun had feelings for Luo Yan. And from how the other two talked, these ’feelings’ seemed to be the romantic kind.

And now, by accident, she found out about these feelings. She didn’t know how she should react. She wanted to just log out or teleport out of here. But that would be terribly rude of her. After all, she just found out another person’s secret. How could he just run away after that?

But what should she do then? Her brain couldn’t even think properly because of what she found out. She would probably not be this shocked if one of them was of the opposite gender. But both of them were males and yet she clearly heard that Shen Ji Yun possibly liked Luo Yan in that manner.

It’s not that she’s against two men being together in that way. Of course not, people could freely love whoever they wanted as long as it’s not against the law or anything like that. But the one at the other end of Shen Ji Yun’s affection was Luo Yan, the first friend she had made for the first time in a while.

She might be naïve in a lot of matters, but she knew this kind of relationship wouldn’t be viewed in a good light by a lot of people. She didn’t want Luo Yan to be subjected into that kind of situation.

Now, she kind of understood why Luo Ren and Luo Jin were acting like that earlier. Because they probably also knew, in one way or another, about Shen Ji Yun’s feelings for their brother. contemporary romance

Yu Jiao opened and closed her clenched fists. This was not the time for her to be nervous and cower in fear. She had to make sure of one thing first. For her dear friend.

She raised her head and looked straight at Shen Ji Yun.

"You, do you like Yan Yan?"

Shen Ji Yun was a bit startled. Because he didn’t expect that Yu Jiao would directly ask him that question. He thought that with the other’s timid nature, she would just simply log out of the game.

"Yes," he didn’t hesitate to answer. "But I hope you won’t mention any of this to Yan Yan. If there’s someone who should tell him about my feelings, then it should only come from me."

"I won’t tell him. But I hope that if he didn’t return your feelings, then you wouldn’t do something to force him. And if he actually also felt the same about you, then I hope you could protect him from all the judgment that he would face once he decided to be together with you."

What a surprise. Shen Ji Yun stared at the other’s dark eyes and he could see the strong determination in them. It was so unlike the quivering and stuttering girl that she often was. He smiled a bit.

[It seems you found a good friend, Yan Yan.]

"Rest assured, I won’t force him. If one day, I confessed and he rejected me, then I would respect his decision. And if he accepted me, then I will not let him be hurt in any way possible just simply because of us being together. I will cherish and love him with everything in me."

Yu Jiao felt her face heating up by that heartfelt confession. But because of that, she now felt relieved. At least now, she knew that Shen Ji Yun’s feelings towards Luo Yan was very sincere. That would enough. For now.

"Good. If you ever break your word, then- then I will get r-revenge for my friend!"

Then she quickly logged out before she lost her nerves.

The three who remained at the hall were left dumbfounded. Because that last image of her threatening Shen Ji Yun did not look convincing at all. Especially with her face all red and with her usual stutter.

"She’s a good kid, that one," Bai Ze commented.

"And we shall be glad that she is," Su Yuqi followed. "If not, then you being a huge blabbermouth would probably now affect your ’best friend’s’ love life."

"Hey, it’s not as if I had that conversation alone with myself. So, you are as much to blame!"

And the two started to bicker again.

Shen Ji Yun only shook his head. And then he started to wonder how Luo Yan was. Hopefully, he was doing alright handling those two brothers of his.

Luo Yan was definitely not doing alright at the moment. The three of them, he and his two brothers, were at the pavilion at the back garden of their mansion. After they logged out, they decided to have their snack here. He did say that he wanted to eat some snacks.

And so, here they were. Inside this beautiful pavilion, surrounded by flowers, with delicious snacks in front of them.

He looked at both his brothers. Now, how should he proceed with this?
