Chapter 948: MY BROTHERS' ROMANCE STATUS
DESPITE the short disturbance the day before, team Yunyue continued on with their training the next day. This time the members of each team differed from the ones they had yesterday. The mechanics were still the same. They played one game each of tower defense, battle arena, and wargame.
They continued this schedule the next two days. Except that they could only train during the night since all of them had to go to school. They decided to take a break though after that because of it being New Year.
Although New Year was not considered a big event in comparison to the Spring Festival where the country truly celebrated Lunar New Year, it's still considered a three-day public holiday. So, from Wednesday to Friday, schools around the country didn't have any classes.
Everyone in Team Yunyue decided to take a break on the first day and then continued their whole day training for the rest of the week.
Luo Yan was currently spending time at home with his family. It was one of the rare weekdays that all of them were at home. And since it's New Year, they decided to have a special luncheon.
Why was it special? Well, aside from the fact that it's New Year, it's because they invited Yu Jiao and her mother to have lunch with them.
Luo Ren was the one who suggested it, saying that it would be great to invite them to have lunch. Since the two would probably spend the day with just themselves, wouldn't it be better to just spend it together?
His reasoning was because Yu Jiao was Luo Yan's closest friend and that it wouldn't hurt for the two families to get closer. Of course, both his brothers knew that that wasn't really the reason and that Luo Ren only wanted to invite Yu Jiao here simply because he liked her and wanted to spend time with her.
Surprisingly though, their father didn't ask any question and readily agreed. As if there was nothing remotely suspicious about their older brother's suggestion.
What the two didn't know was that Luo Wei Tian also knew about Luo Ren's affection for Yu Jiao and was hoping that he could get to know his future daughter-in-law better. Meeting the other's mother was also an added bonus. After all, she could end up as a future in-law. So, it's important to make a good impression now.
If one knew about what he's thinking right now, they would probably think that he was exaggerating things too much. But this was because he knew his eldest son well. That boy wouldn't show such interest towards a girl if he hadn't seriously considered her being the 'one'.
The two of them were very similar in that way. So, if things went smoothly between Luo Ren and Yu Jiao, then he had no doubt that they would end up marrying each other.
That's why it wouldn't hurt to do some advance preparation now. Especially since Luo Ren could not yet do anything to show his affection to Yu Jiao directly. After all, the latter was still in high school. If Luo Ren did something that he shouldn't, Luo Wei Tian would be the first one to beat him up.
At the back garden of the house, Luo Yan and Luo Jin were sitting inside the small pavilion. They were 'kicked' out of the house by their father so they wouldn't get in the way of lunch preparation. Luo Ren, on the other hand, went ahead to get Yu Jiao and her mother.
Luo Yan actually wanted to go with his brother but the other told him that he should just wait here and not tire himself. That's probably the flimsiest excuse he had ever heard. What's so tiring about sitting in a car? It's obvious that the other just didn't want to share Yu Jiao's attention. Because if he was there, it was sure that Yu Jiao would only talk to him.
He shook his head. Really, who would have thought his eldest brother would have such a childish side? No, he probably should have already expected that. Wasn't Luo Ren the one who forced Shen Ji Yun to do that embarrassing announcement in front of everyone in Arcadia?
Just by that, he should be able to already tell that Luo Ren wasn't so mature as he appeared to be.
Anyway, since he had nothing to do until his brother came back with Yu Jiao and her mother, he might as well exchanged WeChat message with Shen Ji Yun. Which he had been doing since earlier, by the way.
But the other wasn't the only one he was exchanging messages with. He was also chatting with Ying Chen. Yes, a bit unexpected, right? Ying Chen was telling him of the progress of his 'ignoring Huang Wen' operation.
According to the other, it seemed that this kind of approach was working since Huang Wen was paying attention to him more than before. Even though they were only chatting, Luo Yan could feel the bitterness in Ying Chen's reply when he sent that message.
It's understandable to feel that way though. Ying Chen had been running after Huang Wen for years, hoping that the other would look back. It was only now that he stopped that Huang Wen began to truly look at him. Who wouldn't feel bitter in such a situation?
"Are you chatting with Shen Ji Yun?"
Luo Jin's voice cut through Luo Yan's thoughts. He glanced at his brother and saw the envious glint in his eyes. Luo Yan raised his brow and couldn't help but tease the other.
"If you're feeling envious, you can always chat with Sister Yuqi."
He thought Luo Jin would stammer and quickly deny it. Just like he always did whenever he teased him about Su Yuqi. But his reaction was truly unexpected.
"Su Yuqi is not into WeChat. She doesn't even answer her phone that often."
Luo Jin said it so naturally, without a hint of shyness, that Luo Yan almost wondered if this was still his younger brother he's talking to.
"Ah Jin, are you admitting to me right now that you like Sister Yuqi?"
