The Return of the God Level Assassin

928 CHOKE ON WATER

LUO JIN slouched on the seat of the restaurant they often go to eat lunch. “Did Yan say where he’s going?”

Yu Jiao shook her head. “No, he just said that we should go ahead and that he would follow quickly.”

She didn’t mention that Luo Yan also did not attend homeroom earlier. Knowing Luo Jin, he might just make a big deal out of things. But truthfully, she was also quite worried as to why Luo Yan skipped class. Which was something he had never done. But considering how he came back to class with a smile on his face, it’s probably not something bad.

They didn’t have to wait that long because Luo Yan arrived just after a few minutes. But he wasn’t alone. A teenager with a surly expression was walking just behind him. Both Yu Jiao and Luo Jin knew all too well who the teenager was. That’s why the two couldn’t help but show a surprise expression when they saw the other.

Yu Jiao still remembered the contradiction between the two. Especially since it was probably the point where she and Luo Yan started to really get close. She knew that Ying Chen was also that dark elf from the Rookie Carnival. So, he not only fought Luo Yan there, they also fought in that PvP. Ying Chen being the one who challenged Luo Yan.

Considering the things that happened between the two, this combination was truly unexpected.

Luo Jin was also feeling the same. Even a bit antagonistic, in fact. His thoughts were still stuck on the time when Ying Chen pushed Luo Yan. Maybe because he wasn’t there when it happened and he wasn’t able to protect his brother. So, he couldn’t help but glare at the other.

“I brought a friend with me,” Luo Yan said as he sat down and pulled Ying Chen beside him. “It’s alright if he eat with us, right?”

“Who’s your friend,” Ying Chen grumbled under his breath.

.....

“Why are you with this guy?” Luo Jin asked his brother, pointing his chin towards Ying Chen.

“We’ve become friends,” Luo Yan answered with a big smile before turning to Ying Chen. “Haven’t we?”

“When did we?” Ying Chen said with a sulking tone.

“I don’t understand how... this came about. But you should be thankful that my brother even considered to be friends with you after that shit that you pulled before,” Luo Jin said to Ying Chen, clearly unhappy how this situation even turned out.

Ying Chen glared at Luo Jin. “Why should I? Do you think your brother is the president that I should feel honored just to be his friend?”

“L-let’s not fight,” Yu Jiao said, trying to calm down the two.

“Hmm... is this what it feels like to watch two tsunderes fighting?” Luo Yan said, with his hand under his chin, acting like he was in deep thought.

“Who’s a tsundere?”

“Who’s a tsundere?”contemporary romance

Luo Jin and Ying Chen turned to Luo Yan and said almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other and then turned away almost as quickly. Probably because they were embarrassed and afraid (disgusted) that Luo Yan would say that they were ‘matching’.

Luo Yan smiled seeing that the two had finally calmed down. “Shall we order lunch?”

“Yes, let’s do that,” Yu Jiao also readily agreed.

The two – Ying Chen and Luo Jin – begrudgingly nodded.

After ordering, Luo Jin couldn’t help but finally asked;

“How exactly did this happen?”

He said that while pointing at Luo Yan and Ying Chen back and forth with an expression as if he couldn’t understand what he’s seeing.

“We bonded over lo—”

Before Luo Yan could finish what he’s saying, Ying Chen suddenly covered his mouth. “Nothing! We bonded over nothing!”

Luo Yan’s eyes twinkled with playfulness. He removed Ying Chen’s hand and said, “So, you do agree that we bonded over something?”

Ying Chen stopped because he felt like he just jumped into a trap. Then, he glared at Luo Yan. “You really are insufferable.”

“I decided to now take that as a compliment,” Luo Yan said in a fake haughty tone.

Ying Chen literally felt like his blood pressure was about to rise at this moment. He kind of regretted that he came here. But when Luo Yan suddenly appeared in his classroom and drag him here, he couldn’t exactly reject the other. Because it’s not as if he had somewhere else he could go to.

He had always spent his lunch with Huang Wen. And since he had already agreed to Luo Yan’s ‘let’s ignore Huang Wen plan’, he couldn’t ask the other to have lunch with him.

And so, he ended up in this little restaurant which he didn’t know even existed in the school grounds.

Yu Jiao watched the interaction between the two and was quite surprised. Seeing how natural Luo Yan treated the other, it seemed that he truly considered him a friend. With that, Yu Jiao’s worry about the two completely vanished. If Luo Yan considered Ying Chen as a friend, then the latter was probably not all that bad.

Luo Jin, of course, also saw this. Even if he was confused as to why this even happened, he knew that his brother was a good judge of character. Luo Yan wouldn’t befriend someone who he found sketchy or just have an overall bad personality. So, even if he couldn’t understand this sudden change, he had no choice but to accept it.

Soon, their food arrived and they all started eating.

Ying Chen was very surprised because of how good the food was. If he had known about this place, he would have brought Huang Wen here long ago. He quickly shook his head before his mind was filled with thoughts of Huang Wen again.

But as he was trying not to think of that, a different thought crossed his mind. He subconsciously looked at Luo Jin sitting in front of him.

“Are you the amazing young master Jin?”

Luo Jin, who heard that, choked on the water he’s drinking.
