The Return of the God Level Assassin

1064  A NEW PROBLEM (OR IS IT?)

LUO JIN quickly answered the call. "Yuqi?"

There were a few seconds of pause on the other end before a light chuckle was heard. "If my father heard you call me that earlier, he would definitely have a very different reaction towards you." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When he heard that, he immediately thought back to Su Yuqi's father. The other actually looked like a gentle person at first glance. But once he was convinced that his daughter suffered some kind of misgiving, he would turn into some kind of raging Rottweiler. Certainly not the first impression one would have upon seeing him.

Because of what Su Yuqi just said, Luo Jin suddenly imagined what could have happened if he called her 'Yuqi' and her father heard it. No, it's better not to imagine.

"Well, he would certainly not be so welcoming," he could only say in response.

"Are you scared?"

Luo Jin could hear the teasing in that question. But at the same time, he felt like if he didn't answer seriously, Su Yuqi might think less of him. So, he gave an honest answer.

"I am. But that doesn't mean I will give up. After all, my feelings for you are not that shallow."

There was another bout of silence from the other end. Before he could ask if the other was still there, Su Yuqi spoke.

"Now you're making me look forward to it."

It's hard to explain, but he could actually hear her smile over the phone while she was saying those words. Before he could ask what she meant by that, she already spoke again.

"How was your check up? Are there any serious injuries?"

Luo Jin wanted to ask what she meant by what she said earlier, but since the other had already changed the topic, he could only helplessly go along and answered;

"No, I'm fine. Just some surface wounds, nothing serious."

"That's good," Su Yuqi said with obvious relief in her voice. "But since our date was interrupted, do you want to continue it at Arcadia?"

Luo Jin momentarily forgot the curiosity he's feeling and quickly said without thinking first, "Yes!"

He heard her soft laughter. "Okay. You set the date."

Shen Ji Yun stared at the two big bowls of cup noodles in front of him, there were even two soft-boiled eggs, two steamed buns, and two cans of hot tea. He felt a bit complicated inside. When Luo Yan pulled him here, he didn't expect that it was for them to eat dinner.

Of course, he had bought one or two things in a convenience store and ate them. But he had never thought of having a full on meal here. Now, he had no problems with people who go here and have a meal. After all, not everyone had the same financial situation. A convenience store meal might be the only thing they could afford.

But bringing Luo Yan here to eat was another matter altogether.

He promised himself to only give Luo Yan the best of everything. And that included food. Since the two of them currently live in two different cities, it's hard to do that. But at least, when the other was still here, he wanted to take care of him properly.

Buying him cup noodles was obviously not on the list.

Luo Yan picked up the cup noodle and used the chopstick to slurp the noodles. Then he drank some of the soup. "Ah, that hits the spot."

Since his father and brothers were all too overprotective, he hadn't even eaten cup noodles since he gained this life. Was it because it had been almost eight years since he ate one that he felt like what he's eating now tasted like someone put some kind of drug in them? The kind that's so addictive you couldn't stop eating?

After a couple more slurping, he picked up the steamed bun and dunk them on the soup before biting on it. Halfway through, he picked up the can of tea and drank it.

It was only then that he noticed that Shen Ji Yun barely moved his food and was just staring blankly at him.

He tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, I... nothing."

Shen Ji Yun shook his head. Since Luo Yan seemed to be really enjoying this, who was he to rain on his parade? The important thing here was Luo Yan was happy.

"Do you not like the food?" Luo Yan asked worriedly.

He had momentarily forgotten that Shen Ji Yun was probably not used to this kind of food. After all, the other was a certified 'young master' in all sense of the word.

"No, that's not it," Shen Ji Yun quickly said. "I'm just surprised you're eating so well. I didn't think you'd enjoy eating such ready-made foods. That's probably my fault for being too shallow in my thinking."

'No, it's not that deep, I just miss eating cup noodles,' - Luo Yan almost blurted out. But instead, he just peeled one of the soft-boiled eggs and put it in front of Shen Ji Yun's mouth. The other automatically opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Don't think too much, Brother Ji Yun, and let's just eat."

Shen Ji Yun could only nod.

After their 'sumptuous' meal, the two returned to the car, resuming their journey back to the Bai family mansion.

While all of this was happening, a certain post on Weibo was starting to get traction.

[I'm a fan of team Celestials, so I also started playing Arcadia, mostly just for fun. I've been following every Arcadia Cup for the last three years, so I'm also familiar with a lot of other teams. An acquaintance of mine share this photo on her WeChat. She took it with only the mentality of sharing a photo of handsome guys.

[I didn't think much at first, but the more I look at the photo, the more familiar the two became. Don't they look similar to YUN and Noctis? There's almost a 90% resemblance. If only one of the two looks similar, I wouldn't think much. But for it to be two of them, doesn't that mean it's literally them?

[What do you think?]
