The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 1085  SOMEDAY

LUO YAN took off the VR helmet and put it on his bedside table before getting up from the bed. Because their team spent most of the allotted time allowed for a player to stay logged in the game, they had to log out before the game system forced them to. With them leaving, Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan were left at the headquarters with Eclipse.

The two didn't mind and said that they would just go to their favorite places since it had been a while since they last logged into the game. Eclipse insisted on going with them, and the two graciously welcomed Eclipse's presence. It seemed that after Eclipse heard them talking about marriage; he became even more curious about the two.

Before logging out, Luo Yan didn't forget to remind Eclipse to behave and not cause trouble for Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan. But knowing that kid, he would surely cause trouble one way or the other. As evidence of that last comment, the other made about letting him and Shen Ji Yun go with Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan so they could get married as well.

That was a bit funny. Luo Jin almost jumped to his seat and maybe even wanted to shut Eclipse's mouth. While Shen Ji Yun was the complete opposite. He looked extremely pleased.

So, to apologize in advance in case Eclipse did something troublesome, he gave the two Yuexing Pavilion VVIP cards. Telling them that they could drop by there if they wanted to eat and drink or just listen and watch some good performances.

He felt a bit regretful that he couldn't spend more time with the two retired team members. Especially after that huge announcement they made. There were so many questions in his head.

Anyway, since the two said that they hadn't yet decided when they would leave again, there would be a lot of time to ask his questions later. But there were questions that he could probably ask Shen Ji Yun right now.

Luo Yan picked up his phone that was on his study table and sat back down on his bed. Then he sent a video call request to Shen Ji Yun. It didn't even take three seconds before the other's handsome face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, handsome," he greeted with a smile.

A hint of blush quickly appeared on Shen Ji Yun's cheeks. He cleared his throat. "Yes, Yan Yan."

Luo Yan chuckled, seeing that reaction. "Brother Ji Yun, can I ask something?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Of course. What is it?"

"Do you, Brother Ze, and Sister Yuqi know that Wu- I mean, Brother Xiang Ye and Brother Yu Lan are a couple?"

Luo Yan almost called the two by their name, but he managed to change that and call them 'brother' instead. It felt a bit awkward to call him that since he just met them. But it also didn't feel right to call them just by their names. And the two did indeed say he and Luo Jin could call them 'brother'.

"Yes. They told us before they retired and left the country," Shen Ji Yun answered.

Luo Yan thought as much, considering the first reaction of the three when they heard about the marriage was why they weren't invited. So, clearly, they knew beforehand that the two were a couple.

"It came off as a huge shock for me actually," Shen Ji Yun continued. "Although it was weird that Bai Ze and Su Yuqi didn't appear surprise that time."

A helpless smile appeared on Luo Yan's lips when he heard that. "They probably already noticed that Brother Xiang Ye and Brother Yu Lan were in that kind of relationship. That's why they were not too surprised."

A moment of realization flashed in Shen Ji Yun's eyes. "...Oh, I see. I must be really pretty dense."

Luo Yan chuckled when he saw that reaction. "It's fine, Brother Ji Yun. I still love that side of you."

Shen Ji Yun blushed and scratched his cheek. "Well, maybe if I wasn't so dense, I might have realized my feelings for you much earlier."

Luo Yan raised his brow. "I think you realized it quite fast enough? Remember, we met in July last year, and then we became a couple in December. That only took five months. Some people who had been trying to win the affection of the person they're in love with for years might want to punch you if they heard what you just said."

"I know. I know how lucky I am. And this might sound like I'm being arrogant and ungrateful, but just the thought that I could have experienced this happiness much earlier still makes me feel a bit regretful."

Shen Ji Yun said that with a mixed expression, like he agreed with Luo Yan but also wanted to make his point clear.

"Well, if we got together after a month, people might think I'm easy," Luo Yan said in a joking tone, lightening the mood. "So, five months is just right."

Shen Ji Yun started to panic. "No- I- I didn't mean it like that. I mean, there's no way people would think of you that way. If there's anyone who would, I will--"

"Kick their ass?" Luo Yan said, finished the other's sentence.

"Yes!" Shen Ji Yun answered before he could even think. Realizing that he was being a bit overenthusiastic, a blush quickly appeared on his face.

Luo Yan chuckled. "Oh, you really are too adorable, Brother Ji Yun."

This time, it was Shen Ji Yun who showed a helpless smile. "And you're a little foxy rabbit who loves to tease his boyfriend."

Luo Yan grinned. "Guilty as charge."

They talked more about this and that - about school and about the incoming final tournament. Of course, about how Luo Yan's review was going.

Then Luo Yan thought of a certain topic. "Brother Ji Yun, what do you think about the subject of marriage?"

Shen Ji Yun appeared surprised by the question. Then, looking directly at him, he replied, "I'd like to do that someday." A gentle smile crossed his face as he added, "Especially with you."
