416: MEETING SHEN YI MU

MEETING SHEN YI MU

THEY finished their tour around Kuanzhai Xianzhi around four in the afternoon. They returned to the hotel shortly after that. 

This afternoon had been really fruitful for Luo Yan. He had taken a lot of pictures, ate a variety of snacks – though frankly speaking, he was still not satisfied with the amount he ate, and bought different varieties of teas which would be shipped back to S City. But most importantly, he had fun. He enjoyed spending time with the people around him. 

When they returned to the hotel, Shen Ji Yun received a message from his uncle. 

[Uncle Yi Mu]: Ji Yun, I'm already at our suite in the hotel. Where are you?

[luckycloud]: I went out with some acquaintances. But we're already back at the hotel. 

There was a bit of a pause before his uncle replied back.

[Uncle Yi Mu]: Then I'll wait for you in our suite.

Shen Ji Yun put back his phone in the trousers of his trench coat before turning to Uncle Luo. "Uncle Luo, my uncle is already here at the hotel. He's waiting at our suite."

He thought of saying that since the other told him earlier that he wanted to talk to his uncle.

Luo Wei Tian nodded. "Then join us later for dinner."

"Yes, Uncle Luo."

"Let's go back. I want to take a shower," Luo Jin said, already walking towards the elevator.

"Dad, can I go with Brother Ji Yun? I really want to meet Mr. Shen," Luo Yan said before they could enter the elevator. "Please, Dad, please?"

Luo Wei Tian gazed down at his second son who was looking up at him with big peach blossom eyes full of pleading. It felt like if he said 'no', big fat tears would fall down from those eyes. So, how could he do it?

"Okay. Just try not to stay there for too long," he could only say at the end.

"Yey! Thank you, Dad! You're the best!" 

Luo Yan gave his father a brief hug before pulling Shen Ji Yun towards another elevator. His actions were swift, just in case one of his brothers objected. It seemed that Shen Ji Yun also had the same idea, because after they entered the elevator, he quickly pushed the button of the floor where their suite was. 

He glanced at Luo Yan who looked so giddy and excited. Showing just how much the other was looking forward to meeting his uncle.

"It seems that you really like my uncle," he commented.

"I do. He's my idol. I aspire to be like him," Luo Yan honestly said. "Being able to create such an immersive VR game, he's simply amazing. If people asked if I have a male god, then I'll definitely answer that it's Mr. Shen."

The vinegar jar in Shen Ji Yun's heart turned over again. He knew he shouldn't feel this way. But hearing his rabbit honestly admitting that he liked someone – even if that someone was his uncle – his heart still couldn't help but feel sour. Yes, it's petty. Especially since he understood that the 'like' that Luo Yan was talking about was the same as 'admiration'.

He took a deep breath and put a lid on that vinegar jar. He really should learn to be more mature.

"Well, Uncle is really an admirable person."

Luo Yan glanced up at the other. Even though there was no expression on Shen Ji Yun's face, he could see that he was pouting a bit. But he was trying his best not to show it. He wondered what could it be that was worth pouting over. Then he thought of his blatant praise for Shen Ji Yun's uncle. 

Could it be that this guy was being a big vinegar jar again?

But seeing as how he returned back to his normal self so quickly, it seemed that he also realized that that kind of behavior was not really attractive. It's cute from time to time but could definitely turn irritating if it happened too often. Especially if the object of his jealousy was not really someone he should be jealous of.

Luo Yan smiled. It seemed that my cinnamon bun was slowly growing up.

Shen Ji Yun once again glanced down at Luo Yan. Now that they're standing together, he finally realized what was that something different he noticed earlier when he saw Luo Yan. 

"Yan Yan, did you grow taller?"

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun, his eyes shining. "Brother Ji Yun noticed? Yes, I'm now 156 cm!" he said proudly, almost puffing up his little chest.

Shen Ji Yun's eyes crinkled in a smile when he saw Luo Yan's reaction. Although 156 cm wasn't really much, if his rabbit was this happy to have that height, then there's no way he wouldn't praise him. 

"That's great. No wonder I thought something had changed when I saw Yan Yan earlier. It turned out that you grew taller. Yan Yan is so amazing."

Luo Yan smiled even brighter when he heard that. 

They arrived at the floor where the suite Shen Ji Yun and his uncle would be staying. They walked towards the suite and when they were in front of the door, Shen Ji Yun opened it with his room key.

"Oh, you're finally here," a voice said when they walked inside.

Luo Yan excitedly turned towards the direction of the voice and saw a tall man sitting on the couch. His black hair was carefully combed back, there was not even a stray strand. His black eyes were hidden behind a pair of gold rimmed glasses. 

Luo Yan remembered when he saw Shen Yi Mu during the graduation rites of his older brother. He was wearing a crisp black suit as if he just returned from a meeting. Well, according to what Shen Ji Yun said earlier, he had to attend to something regarding the company so he probably really was just in a meeting. He had this aura of a gentleman, like a noble living in ancient times. 

As Luo Yan was looking at him, Shen Yi Mu was also observing the boy that was with Shen Ji Yun. He looked to be about 14 or 15 with soft black hair and big peach blossom eyes. He was extremely pretty for a boy. But, despite that, no one would mistake him for a girl.

He simply had that charm. The kind that was attractive to both genders. 

"Hello, Mr. Shen! My name is Luo Yan. I'm a friend of Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan introduced himself in a very bright manner. "I'm very happy to finally meet you!"
