The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 90 - MEETING AGAIN AT MOONRIVER



LUO YAN and Luo Jin just finished another task.  They also both just leveled up to level 38.  They were planning to go back to Matlock Town when Luo Yan received a private message.  He opened it and read;

SHEN: [I just read your message.  Sorry if I wasn't able to answer immediately.  Regarding your question, could we meet?  I'm not really sure what you want to know about Arcadia's task system.  It would be better if we could talk face to face so I could give you a more satisfactory answer.  Is it okay?]

Message?  Ah, right.  He almost forgot that he sent that message asking Shen Ji Yun about Arcadia's task.  He didn't think much and answer;

Noctis: [Alright.  Let's meet at the Moonriver restaurant in Matlock Town.  My brother and I are just about to go back there.]

Not soon after, he received a reply;

SHEN: [Then I might arrive there much earlier than you two.  I'll go and reserve a box for us.]

Noctis: [Okay.]

Luo Yan then closed his Status Window.  

"Ah Jin, let's go back to Matlock Town.  Brother Ji Yun is waiting for us at the Moonriver restaurant."

Luo Jin's brows furrowed once he heard that name.  Brother Ji Yun?  That blue-eyed cold-face?  "Why would he meet with us?"

"I sent him a message about a week ago?  I wanted to know more detailed information about the task here in Arcadia.  He just replied to me."

Luo Jin's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard that.  That guy didn't even bother to reply and even waited for a week before he did.  Wouldn't that mean that he's looking down on his second brother?  

And here, Luo Jin once again forgot how annoyed he was thinking that that guy was paying special attention to Luo Yan.  If he remembered, then he should probably be happy knowing that the guy ignored his brother.  Because that meant that he didn't have interest in him.  But all he could think of was that his brother was ignored and that was unforgivable.

"Forget about that guy.  We could just check about it on our own," Luo Jin said indignantly.

"But why should we do that when there's a much easier way?" Luo Yan said, tilting his head.  "If Ah Jin doesn't want to go, then I can just go on my own."

Luo Jin sighed in annoyance.  "Fine.  Let's go."

Luo Yan smiled and then used a teleportation scroll to immediately transfer them to Matlock Town.  Arriving at the entrance of the town, the two started walking towards the direction of Moonriver restaurant.  

Arriving there, Luo Yan told the waiter NPC who welcomed them that they were there for SHEN.  The NPC led them to a private box at the third floor and opened the door for them.  

Luo Yan entered first followed by Luo Jin.  He saw Shen Ji Yun sitting quietly inside.  He was still wearing that all-black costume.  But the lower half of his face was not covered by a mask, completely showing his cold handsome face.

He stood up when he saw them.  "Rab- I mean, Luo Yan."

If Shen Ji Yun didn't have a perpetual expressionless face, he probably would have already grimaced by now.  What was he doing, suddenly standing up?  He even almost called him 'rabbit'.  It's not normal for him to suddenly be flustered for no reason.  Was it because he didn't see the rabbit – no, Luo Yan, for just two weeks?  But that reasoning was quite weird.  It didn't even make sense.

So he sat down, as if nothing happened.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows.  What was that 'rab' about?  But he still sat down opposite Shen Ji Yun while Luo Jin sat beside him.

"What food do you want to eat?" Shen Ji Yun asked.

"I'm not in the mood to eat anything.  Looking at that cold-face of yours while eating would just make the food taste stale," Luo Jin said.   

Shen Ji Yun ignored him as if he didn't hear anything.

But Luo Yan scolded him.  "Ah Jin, you shouldn't do that."

"Yan, are you taking his side?"

"I'm not.  There's no side to begin with because Brother Ji Yun is not even fighting with you," Luo Yan said then pinched his younger brother's cheek.  "You're acting like a complete brat right now."

B-brat?  Luo Jin felt like he'd just been struck by lightning.  He didn't even feel the pinching on his cheek.  How could Luo Yan just call him a brat?  Without him noticing, his small mouth was already pouting.  He looked like a kid who had just been chastised unfairly.  

Luo Yan stared at Luo Jin's expression and resisted the urge to also pinch his other cheek.  Even at times like this, his brother was still very cute.  

Luo Jin looked up and saw his brother's eyes full of teasing.  He suddenly felt angry.  Why does Luo Yan always love to tease him?  He pushed his brother's hand away, the one still pinching his cheek, and glared at him.  "Stupid Yan!"

Then he logged out.  

Luo Yan stared at the empty spot where his brother was just sitting and knew that Luo Jin probably logged out.

"Is it alright, to leave him like that?" asked Shen Ji Yun.  He's worried that the two brothers would have a disagreement because of this.

"Oh, it's okay.  I'll just coax him later." Luo Yan scratched his cheek.  Did he go a bit too far?  

"I see." Shen Ji Yun was glad, even though it didn't really show on his face.  If the rabbit could coax his brother easily, that meant that the two had a pretty good relationship. 

"I'm also actually not in the mood to eat right now.  Of course, not because of the same reason as this brother of mine.  How could the food turn stale while looking at Brother Ji Yun when you're so handsome?" Luo Yan said after, his voice full of righteousness.  

Shen Ji Yun suddenly felt the slight heating of the tips of his ears.  Then he suddenly remembered the way the rabbit played with those three players in the Infernal Chasm dungeon.  Now he couldn't tell if what the rabbit- no, Luo Yan was saying was what he truly felt or if he's just teasing him.  

In any case, he still felt embarrassed being called 'handsome'.  Something that would probably not happen if someone besides Luo Yan called him that.  But why, he wondered? 

"Brother Ji Yun, go and order any food you want.  This time, it's my turn to buy you a meal," Luo Yan continued.

"Then let's just not order," Shen Ji Yun said.  He turned to the NPC waiter.  "We won't be needing any food."

"I understand.  Then please, still enjoy your stay," the NPC said, bowing before going out of the box.

"So it's okay to just stay here and not order food, huh?" Luo Yan said in wonder.

"Yes.  It's because you're still paying for the box reservation, so it wouldn't matter even if you eat or not," Shen Ji Yun answered.

"Then I still wasn't able to pay you back for the meal we had last time," Luo Yan said.

"That's fine.  We could have just another one at another time." Yes, that way he would have another excuse to meet with the rabbit- no, with Luo Yan.  He really should practice referring to him as that.

Shen Ji Yun said it with no expression and no pertinent emotion in his voice that Luo Yan didn't think much of it.  "Okay."
