The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 841: TO HAVE THE GUTS

”WEʼLL only have a family dinner,” Luo Yan said in response to Yu Jiaoʼs question. ”Jiao Jiao, why donʼt you join us?”

”No, I donʼt think that would be appropriate,” Yu Jiao said with a complicated smile. ”Itʼs a night for your family. Itʼs not right for me to be there.”

”Hey, how could it be not right? Youʼre my friend. Dad and my brothers will definitely not mind,” Luo Yan said before turning to Luo Jin. ”Right, Ah Jin?”

Luo Jin nodded. ”Yeah.”

”But—”

”No buts,” Luo Yan cut off what Yu Jiao was about to say. ”It will definitely make me happier if youʼre there. Of course, if youʼre uncomfortable, I wonʼt force you.”

Yu Jiao stared at Luo Yan. The other had an understanding smile on his face but she couldnʼt disregard the obvious expectation on the otherʼs eyes. ”Itʼs not that Iʼm uncomfortable. Itʼs just… I feel like I would be intruding.”

”Nonsense. Thereʼs no way you would be intruding,” Luo Yan quickly said. ”Youʼre my friend. How could you be an intruder?”

Yu Jiao could only smile helplessly. ”Okay, Iʼll be there.”

Luo Yan smiled brightly. ”Yey!”

Luo Jin looked at his brotherʼs hippy smile. Although he knew that the other was genuinely happy, some part of this happiness was definitely because he wanted to give Yu Jiao and their brother some time together. Not that he minded though.

Their orders arrived at that moment.

”By the way, Yan Yan, have you heard of the rumor going around our class?” Yu Jiao asked as she picked a piece of dumpling and ate it.

Luo Yan raised his head and swallowed the meat heʼs eating before answering, ”Thereʼs a rumor?”

Yu Jiao nodded. Under normal circumstance, she wouldnʼt really care for such rumors. But it was about Luo Yan, so she couldnʼt help but care.

”A lot of our classmates are saying that you look like Noctis,” she said. ”I believe most of them even think that you are Noctis.”

Both Luo Yan and Luo Jin were surprised by this.

”Our classmates actually think that Iʼm Noctis?” Luo Yan asked.

Luo Jin stared at his brother whoʼs actually now as tall as his game avatar. Which meant that his similarity with ʼNoctisʼ had now become very obvious. If not for the different hair and eye color, everyone who was playing Arcadia and had watched the Rookie Carnival would immediately recognize Luo Yan.

”Itʼs probably weirder if they donʼt,” he said. ”Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately?”

”Of course, I do. Iʼm as beautiful as ever,” Luo Yan said without even batting an eye.

Yu Jiao coughed and almost choked on her food.

Luo Yan glanced at his friend and tilted his head. ”Why? Am I not beauti—”

Luo Jin stuffed a dumpling on his brotherʼs mouth before the other could finish what heʼs saying. ”Letʼs just go back to main point.”

Yu Jiao stopped herself from laughing seeing this scene.

Luo Yan ate the dumpling first before saying, ”It doesnʼt really matter. I mean, as long as people arenʼt blind, they could easily see the overwhelming similarities between my avatar and I. Just let it be. Itʼs not like I can change my face anyway.”

”But- arenʼt you worried that it might bring you unnecessary attention?” Yu Jiao asked worriedly.

”Donʼt worry, Jiao Jiao. I donʼt think people will mob me at this school,” Luo Yan reassured the other. ”And even if they do, I think I can handle the attention.”

Well, Yu Jiao had no doubt that Luo Yan would definitely not be daunted by such attention. Still, some accidents could happen. She just didnʼt want something like that to happen.

”Donʼt worry too much,” Luo Jin seconded. ”This guy would definitely revel in the attention instead of being scared of it.”

Besides, if someone tried to do something that could be dangerous to Luo Yan, heʼd be here to protect the other. Although, with Luo Yanʼs temperament and craftiness, he hardly thought that the other would need his help.

”Hey, Ah Jin, are you saying that Iʼm an attention seeker?” Luo Yan said, acting like he was very offended. ”Thatʼs hurtful, you know?”

Luo Jin rolled his eyes and simply put another dumpling on Luo Yanʼs bowl of rice. ”Eat more and be sober.”

This time, Yu Jiao finally couldnʼt stop herself from laughing.

B City…

At the cafeteria of T University, the first thing that anyone would notice if they walked in right now was that most of the students were looking at the same direction. There, at a corner spot beside the floor to ceiling window sat a young man. He was tall and very handsome. His pair of blue eyes were looking intently at his phone, as if he was trying to solve a very serious problem.

”Cakes?”

The sudden voice beside him almost made Shen Ji Yun drop his phone. He glanced to the side and glared coldly at Bai Ze. ”Donʼt sneak up on me.”

Bai Ze raised both hands. ”Hey, I didnʼt sneak up on you. Itʼs not my fault youʼre so busy looking at your phone.” He sat down on the chair opposite. ”Anyone who saw you would think youʼre busy doing some report or something. Who would have thought that youʼre actually just looking at cakes? Wait- cakes?” A teasing smile appeared on his face. ”Are you planning to bake a cake for Xiao Yan?”

”If you know, then donʼt ask,” Shen Ji Yun responded coldly.

Bai Ze acted as if he was wiping invisible tears. ”Aww… our Ji Yun has really grown up. This friend is so proud of you.”

Shen Ji Yun didnʼt bother to respond to the other and instead continued browsing, looking for the perfect cake design.

Everything had now been laid out. He just had to make sure to follow the plan he made to the tee. And if all went well, then maybe, just maybe, he could finally do that one thing.

As long as he had the guts to do it, that is.
