The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 967: THINKING OF THE FUTURE”IS it alright for Grandpa to be outside in this weather?” Luo Yan asked worriedly.         

Itʼs in the middle of Winter, although their grandfather was covered in a thick coat and even his lap and legs were covered in a thick blanket, the weather was still too cold for him to be out and about.      

”Yes, we will go inside in a minute,” the nurse said.      

It was obvious in his expression that this was also not his idea. Luo Yan guessed that his grandfather insisted on going outside and the nurse, despite wanting to object, couldnʼt do anything but to compromise. Luo Yan understood the position he was in, so he could only nod as a response.     

Instead, he turned to his grandfather and crouched down a bit so the two of them could be at the same eye level. He held the otherʼs hand and smiled warmly.      

”Grandpa, letʼs go inside, hmm? Itʼs cold here.”     

The other suddenly showed a worried expression. ”Is Hua-er feeling cold? Then, letʼs quickly go inside!”     

Luo Yan felt a bit helpless. He should have gotten used to it by now, but hearing his grandfather calling him by his motherʼs name was still a bit... But itʼs not like he could correct the other. His grandfather calling him ʼHua-erʼ was not just because of his condition, it also stemmed from his longing for his daughter. If he could alleviate his loneliness, even for just a bit, Luo Yan was willing to accommodate him.      

And so, the four walked back into the mansion.     

-----      

Luo Yan lay down on the soft bed. He just finished arranging his clothes in the closet. The room he was in was the same room that he used back when they visited during the Mid-Autumn Festival.      

The first thing he did after taking care of his luggage was to contact Shen Ji Yun. He was lying on the bed, waiting for the other to answer his call. Soon, the video call connected and Shen Ji Yunʼs handsome face appeared on the screen.     

”Brother Ji Yun!” he greeted with a smile.     

The other seemed to be frozen for a moment after seeing him and then he looked away with a red tint on his cheeks. Luo Yan raised his brow, wondering whatʼs with that reaction? Since thereʼs no need for him to go around the bush, he just asked the other directly.     

”Whatʼs wrong, Brother Ji Yun? You look like youʼve seen something you shouldnʼt.”     

Shen Ji Yun blushed even harder. ”It- itʼs not that. Itʼs just... well, Yan Yanʼs clavicles are showing and...”     

The other stopped speaking as if continuing would only make this situation even more embarrassing.     

Now, it was Luo Yanʼs turn to stop. He looked down at himself and saw that a few of his topʼs buttons were undone, showing his clavicles. It probably became like that because of how rough he threw himself on the bed earlier.      

Thinking that this was the reason for Shen Ji Yunʼs reaction, his lips slowly curved into a playful smile. He raised his head and looked at the other.      

”Does Brother Ji Yun think that my clavicles are sexy?” he asked.     

He placed his fingertips gently on his clavicles, tracing the curve of the bone as if outlining it. The movement was slow and deliberate, as if he was savoring the sensation. His eyes were closed, and a faint smile played on his lips, suggesting that this simple act of touching was bringing him a sense of comfort.     

When Luo Yan opened his eyes, he saw Shen Ji Yun visibly gulped. If they were facing each other in real time and not just through a screen, he would probably even hear and feel his rough breathing. Luo Yan smiled, feeling victorious.     

This smile was quickly noticed by Shen Ji Yun and he immediately knew that the other was teasing him again. He let out a long and heavy sigh.      

”Naughty Yan Yan,” he said, trying to be stern, but instead, it only sounded helpless.      

Luo Yan grinned. ”Itʼs Brother Ji Yunʼs fault for thinking naughty thoughts.”     

Shen Ji Yunʼs whole face heated up once again when he heard that ʼaccusationʼ. He wanted to deny it but he couldnʼt since Luo Yan wasnʼt exactly lying.         

When the call connected earlier, the first thing he saw was the delicate curve of Luo Yanʼs clavicles. After that was the exposed white jade-like skin. Itʼs almost impossible for him not to react.      

”Itʼs because Yan Yan is too beautiful that I couldnʼt help it,” he could only say at the end.     

Hearing this, Luo Yanʼs heart swelled with happiness. But thereʼs a bigger part of him that wanted to tease Shen Ji Yun even further.      

”Does Brother Ji Yun want to see more?” he asked while touching the next button of his shirt, as if he would unbutton it if the other said ʼyesʼ.     

After he said that, Shen Ji Yun looked like he was hit by lightning. He couldnʼt immediately answer and just froze. Of course, his eyes stared straight at Luo Yanʼs finger touching that particular button. Before he could answer, the other had already unbuttoned it.     

Shen Ji Yun gulped. His heart beating faster. Especially after seeing more expanse of Luo Yanʼs skin showing. When the otherʼs hand went down to the next button, Shen Ji Yun finally returned to his senses and shouted in panic;     

”Yan Yan, stop!”     

Luo Yan smiled invitingly. ”Why? Does Brother Ji Yun not want to see more?”     

”I—I... of course I do!” Shen Ji Yun said truthfully. How could he lie when that was what he truly felt? ”But not like this. I- I want to be standing right in front of you, not through a video call like this.”     

Luo Yan inwardly smiled when he heard that. ”Does that mean itʼs alright to see me naked as long as weʼre standing right in front of each other?”     

Shen Ji Yun almost said ʼyesʼ but managed to stop himself when he saw the teasing smile on Luo Yanʼs lips. He let out a helpless sigh. ”Yan Yan, are you trying to give a heart attack?”     

Luo Yan giggled. ”Nope. Iʼm just thinking of the future.”
