Chapter 880: SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Chapter 880: SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
JUST like what his brother asked, Luo Jin teleported to their headquarters as soon as he logged in the game. There was no one there when he entered the main hall. So, he simply chose a seat and sat down.
He was about to send a message to Luo Yan, asking him where he was when the door of the hall opened and his cousin walked in.
"Oh, Xiao Jin's already here," Bai Ze said, walking towards the round table and sitting opposite Luo Jin. "So, how was your weekend? I heard you all went to Hunan province."
"It was fine. The kids we met at the orphanage were all good kids. It was a very enjoyable trip. The only bad thing about it was that guy--no, never mind," Luo Jin said, cutting whatever he was about to say.
But even though he did that, Bai Ze still knew what his cousin was about to say. "Ah yes, I heard Ji Yun went with you. Surely, he's not such a bad company, right?"
Luo Jin's face crumpled. That was enough response for Bai Ze to know what the other felt exactly about Shen Ji Yun being there on that trip. He smiled wryly.
"Why do you hate Ji Yun so much?" he asked. "He's not that bad, you know. He might look like some expressionless robot but he's a real softie inside. He's a good guy."
Luo Jin pursed his lips. He wanted to say that he didn't hate Shen Ji Yun per se. He just didn't like him being around Luo Yan. At this point, he had already somehow adapted a laissez-faire attitude towards Shen Ji Yun. Or at least he was trying really hard to.
Since Luo Yan seemed very keen on being with that guy, he wanted to accept the situation. But as anyone could probably already tell, he was far from that point of acceptance.
He knew that Shen Ji Yun was not a bad guy. His brother wouldn't fall for him otherwise. But it's just really, really hard for him to accept the possibility that Luo Yan would really end up with that guy.
Bai Ze, seeing Luo Jin not answering back, as well as the mixtures if emotions that flashed on his face, could only shake his head. It seemed that Shen Ji Yun really had his work cut out for him. And this was only Luo Jin's reaction. What more if it's Brother Ren, much less Uncle Tian?
The door suddenly opened. Both of them turned towards the door and saw Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun, and Eclipse walking inside. The three were walking hand in hand with Eclipse in the middle. The boy was playing around, using Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun's arms like a swing. And the two happily played along.
Bai Ze blinked his eyes. Why did he suddenly have an illusion that the three actually looked like a family for a second there?
As soon as the three sat down, Luo Jin asked;
"Yan said that you're going to announce something, what is it?"
Luo Yan was the one who answered, "Let's wait for Sister Yuqi first."
Then, as if on cue, the door opened once again and came in Su Yuqi. The pink-haired pixie looked around.
"I'm not late, am I?" she asked.
"No, you're just in time, Sister Yuqi," Luo Yan said with a smile.
Su Yuqi walked towards the round table and very naturally sat down beside Luo Jin. She turned to Shen Ji Yun. "You said there's an announcement, what is it?"
Luo Yan almost chuckled because of how similar her way of asking to the way Luo Jin asked the same question. He also turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Shall I do it?" he asked, referring to their announcement.
Shen Ji Yun shook his head. "No, I'll do it."
Luo Jin somehow had a bad feeling seeing the atmosphere between the two. He wanted to shout 'stop', but at the end no words came out of his throat. And his gut feel was proven correct after he heard Shen Ji Yun's 'announcement'.
"Yan Yan and I, the two of us are now officially dating."
Luo Jin felt like something just exploded in his mind. He couldn't think properly and just stared at the two.
Bai Ze and Su Yuqi, on the other hand, showed a surprised expression.
Su Yuqi was the first to return to normal. "I thought it would take years for you two to be together. It's nice to be proven wrong," she said in a tone as if she was already expecting something like this to happen.
Bai Ze, who could barely contain his shock, totally agreed on that. He thought that Shen Ji Yun going to Hunan province was already incredible enough. But this, this was totally unexpected.
The other confessing was the last thing that would ever cross his mind. He thought Shen Ji Yun just made a small leap forward, he didn't expect that the other actually outright teleported! And that was not even the most shocking part.
The fact that the two were now officially dating meant that Luo Yan also felt the same way for Shen Ji Yun. That's the part that he became most speechless about. It's why he really didn't know how to react.
Although he was happy for his friend, the other party involved in this was his cousin. So, he didn't know if he should be happy or if he should be protective. If he's already feeling this way, it's probably much worse for Luo Jin.
He glanced at his youngest cousin and the other was completely petrified. When he was about to ask if he's okay, Luo Jin suddenly disappeared from where he was standing.
"Well, that went well," Luo Yan said, scratching his cheek in an awkward manner.
"He didn't log out," Su Yuqi said after checking her friend list. "If he's still in the game, I might know where he went."
"Please, tell me, Sister Yuqi. I'll go and follow him," Luo Yan quickly said.
"No," Shen Ji Yun intercepted. "Let me do it."
Eclipse, who had been silent until now, spoke excitedly, "Does this mean that Master and Captain are going to get married?"
