LUO YAN felt his whole face heating up because of that straightforward compliment. This guy's Casanova hidden attribute was coming to the fore again. Before he could say anything back, he heard a 'shriek' coming from Luo Jin. Yes, that's truly how it sounded to Luo Yan's ears.
"Ah, I knew it! You have been feigning ignorance, acting like you're emotionless and shit but the truth is you've been seducing my brother all along!"
All the shyness that Luo Yan felt promptly disappeared at that moment. He glanced at his brother like the other was crazy or something. Luo Jin's face was all red, probably from all the anger he's feeling. The other was even pointing at Shen Ji Yun. He looked like some kind of angry anime character.
Yu Jiao, who was standing just behind Luo Jin, took a step back as if she wanted to distance herself from the other. Based on her expression, it's like she's having second-hand embarrassment because of Luo Jin's action.
Shen Ji Yun froze up in place after hearing Luo Jin's accusation. His mind just blanked. Which mirrored the expression on his face. He had been seducing Luo Yan? When did that happen? He was so perplexed that he couldn't even say anything back.
"See, you're not even denying it! I should have known you're up to no good the first moment I saw you! When did you plan going after my brother? Was it when you first met--"
"Luo Jin."
One call from Luo Yan stopped Luo Jin from speaking. Probably because the other called him by his full name. That rarely happened. So, this time, he immediately knew that his brother was angry. Or at least on the verge of being angry.
"What did I say wrong?" he muttered, his voice full of grievance.
Looking at his younger brother like this, Luo Yan could only sigh helplessly. "Ah Jin, Brother Ji Yun was simply giving me a compliment. Don't read too much into it. Or are you saying that he's lying and I'm not really beautiful?"
"N-no! Of course not!" Luo Jin said automatically. Then, realizing that he went along his brother's pace once again, he tsked and just annoyingly walked to the restaurant.
"Ahm, s-should we also go?" Yu Jiao asked.
"Let's go." Luo Yan smiled at the other and walked beside her. "Sorry about that. You must have been surprised by Ah Jin's antics."
"No, no. I- I'm actually quite used to his burst of temper," Yu Jiao said. contemporary romance
She secretly glanced back at Shen Ji Yun. Truthfully, he couldn't blame Luo Jin for saying what he said. She also heard what Shen Ji Yun said to Luo Yan. Even she blushed at those words. Could someone with a limited range of emotion really say that? And so straightforwardly even. No, the more important thing was, why was the other saying that to someone of the same gender?
Not that she's saying that a boy shouldn't compliment another boy. It's just that, it's something she's not used to seeing. That's why her reaction was like this.
She then looked at Luo Yan. The other had a smile on his face as if he was in a good mood. It's like everything that happened was something normal and 'expected'. She truly wondered why that was so. She actually wanted to ask him that. But she had a feeling that this was not exactly the time nor the place for it.
Yu Jiao sighed inwardly. Anyway, this day was Luo Yan's birthday. The important thing was to celebrate this day with the other.
When Luo Yan noticed that Shen Ji Yun didn't follow them, he turned back and said, "Brother Ji Yun, let's go."
Shen Ji Yun, whose brain seemed to short-circuit after what Luo Jin accused him of, looked like he returned to his senses when he heard Luo Yan's call. He quickly followed the two.
After all that 'commotion', the four finally entered the restaurant. It was a restaurant famous for its traditional and authentic Chinese food. Luo Wei Tian had already reserved a private room here. So, they were immediately led there by one of the waiters.
Inside was a round table that could be rotated. It could seat about eight people. Which was just right. The room was also quite spacious with a nice window view. As it was already near evening, they could definitely see the sky slowly turning from red-orange to velvet black while sitting inside here.
Luo Yan had no doubt that his father had that in mind when he chose this room. He sat down comfortably at one of the available seats. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun, waiting for the other to sit beside him. Surprisingly enough, Shen Ji Yun didn't do so. The other went and sat opposite him instead.
He wasn't the only one surprised by this action but Luo Jin as well.
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes at Shen Ji Yun. What was this guy doing now? Was it because he exposed him earlier that's why he's being careful right now? Tsk. Then, wouldn't this prove that his suspicion was real?
In truth, our dear Ah Jin wasn't entirely wrong. The reason why Shen Ji Yun chose not to sit beside Luo Yan was because he's worried that his feelings were actually so obvious that anyone who saw him could easily see it.
He had that realization after that incident with Luo Jin. Shen Ji Yun thought that that was the reason why the other said that thing about him 'seducing' Luo Yan. If that was the case, then wouldn't it be easy for Luo Ren and Uncle Luo to come to the same conclusion? Maybe before he could even finish this dinner, he would have already kicked out of here by the others.
How could Shen Ji Yun let that happen when he hadn't yet done the thing he came here to do?
So, he needed to be as careful as possible.
Seeing the other's action, an amused smile just crossed Luo Yan's lips.
