Chapter 857: WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE?
LUO YAN was already dressed and was waiting for Shen Ji Yun to come at the front garden of their house. He had already packed everything that he would bring to this trip. He thought of packing all the clothes he could no longer use as well.
Because of his sudden growth spurt, he had a lot of clothes that he couldn't wear now. He thought of donating all of it to the orphanage. But he changed his mind and decided to just sell it online. The money he would get would then be donated directly to LY Foundation.
That money would probably help more than a bunch of branded clothes. Although wearing pretty clothes could make the children happy, that was only for a moment. The future was still what's more important.
As he was walking around the garden, waiting for Shen Ji Yun, his phone vibrated. He took it out from his pocket and saw that it was a message notification from Shen Ji Yun. He quickly opened it.
[I'm already near your house. I'll probably be there in one or two minutes.]
Luo Yan happily walked towards the driveway once he read that. It didn't take for a taxi to pull over their gate. Seeing that, he ran towards the gate and opened it himself before Shen Ji Yun could press the doorbell.
"Good morning, Brother Ji Yun!" he greeted with a smile.
Shen Ji Yun was startled seeing Luo Yan but he quickly greeted back, "Good morning, Yan Yan."
"Come, let's go inside."
Luo Yan pulled the other inside and the gate closed automatically.
What caught Shen Ji Yun's attention first was the mansion that looked like it came straight out of a fairytale book. From the tiled roof to the vines sticking on the walls, even the wide garden added to the dreamy look. One could see that the person who designed the house put all their love into it.
"Our house is pretty, right?" Luo Yan asked as they walked.
Shen Ji Yun was about to answer when he noticed that the other's cheeks were red as an apple. It's not a blush that was caused by shyness but rather because of the cold weather. He frowned and put the scarf he's wearing around Luo Yan's neck.
"Have you been waiting outside like this?" he asked.
He was clearly scolding Luo Yan but his worry was more prominent, so it only sounded like a concern-filled nagging.
Feeling the warmth that suddenly surrounded him, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile, pulling the scarf up. "It hasn't been that long. I just wanted to welcome Brother Ji Yun."
How could Shen Ji Yun be angry after hearing that? "I'd rather you welcome me inside the warmth of your house."
Luo Yan chuckled at that very witty comeback. "Do you want to walk around our garden or have some hot cocoa first?"
Shen Ji Yun didn't give a quick answer, as if contemplating what answer he should give. "Can I go to your room?"
Luo Yan was surprise hearing that answer. He didn't think the other would be that straightforward. But Shen Ji Yun took his silence as a refusal.
"Oh, I didn't mean anything else. I just- I mean--"
"It's fine," Luo Yan quickly cut off what the other was saying. "Let's go to my room."
Before Shen Ji Yun could react, he already pulled the other inside the house. Since it was a bit early, his father and brothers were probably still asleep or in the middle of preparing. So, there was no time as good as now to bring Shen Ji Yun to his room.
As they entered the house, the maids greeted them and Luo Yan haphazardly introduced Shen Ji Yun to them. Since his room was in the first floor, they quickly arrived there.
"This is my room, what do you think?" Luo Yan asked with a hint of pride in his voice.
Shen Ji Yun looked around the room. It had a cool tone because of the color of the walls. It was neat but also showed Luo Yan's vibrant personality with all the various trinkets spread here and there, including one big teddy bear that was on the bed.
"It's pretty."
His gaze then noticed a music box that was carefully placed on the side of a study table. It was the customized music box he sent to Luo Yan as a gift. The corner of his lips subconsciously turned up. Just looking at where it was put, he could see just how much his rabbit liked it.
Luo Yan watched Shen Ji Yun looked around his room. It actually felt kind of surreal seeing the other here. That's when he noticed that Shen Ji Yun was holding a paper bag.
"Brother Ji Yun, what are you holding?" he asked.
Shen Ji Yun instinctively looked down at the paper bag he's holding. He turned to Luo Yan and gave him the bag. "This is a gift for you."
Luo Yan raised his brows. "You didn't have to. Those fireworks were more than enough gift."
But he still accepted the paper bag. He opened it and took out what's inside. He was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a white rabbit stuff toy. It had blue beads as eyes and was wearing a cute costume similar to his avatar's costume. It's like the plushie version of the rabbit in the music box that Shen Ji Yun gave him.
"This is so cute!" he said excitedly.
Shen Ji Yun smiled at Luo Yan's reaction. "I hope you like it."
"Are you kidding me? I love it!" Luo Yan said, hugging the stuff toy. "Did you have this customize as well?"
"I- I customize it," Shen Ji Yun in an almost whisper.
Luo Yan was shocked when he heard that. He carefully put the rabbit plushie beside the music box. Before holding Shen Ji Yun's right hand and removing the glove. His eyes widened when he saw band-aids covering Shen Ji Yun's fingers, definitely evidence of his sewing.
He felt like his heart was filled warm gooey chocolate seeing that. "Oh Brother Ji Yun, why are you so cute?"
