"YAN, where are you going after this?" Luo Jin asked, his new guns already hanging on his holster belt. Clearly, he was trying to show off his new weapon.
Luo Yan looked at his brother. His expression was clearly full of 'I want to try my new weapon, come, join me'. But sadly, he had to disappoint him. "I'll stay here for a bit and talk to Jiao Jiao for a bit."
Luo Jin showed a bit of disappointment look but his expression quickly cleared. "Then I'll go ahead. I'll say goodbye to Yu Jiao on my way out."
They were still inside the lounge room while Yu Jiao just left a few minutes ago because she was called by one of her NPC employees. Saying that a customer needed to consult with her personally.
It's best for him and Luo Jin to go separately right now because he had to meet up with Shen Ji Yun later. He already talked to him earlier about finishing the two tasks they had to put on hold last time. If Luo Jin was with him by that time, his brother would surely make a fuss. Now, he couldn't even deny Luo Jin's claim that Shen Ji Yun had some kind of 'ulterior motive'. Because, in a way, the other really did have one.
It's good that it was Luo Jin, himself, who suggested to leave on his own.
"Okay," he said. "Try not to be too excited while testing your new weapon. You might accidentally shoot innocent players with your overexcitement," he teased.
Luo Jin's brows scrunched up a bit, clearly unhappy that his second brother was teasing him again. Since Luo Yan was still sitting and he was already standing up, he took that opportunity to squeeze both his brother's cheeks. "Stop with your teasing."
After squeezing enough, Luo Jin let go of Luo Yan's cheeks and finally walked out of the lounge room. Obviously, satisfied.
Luo Yan rubbed his reddened cheeks. That kid. Did he have to pinch his cheeks so hard? He'd definitely get back at him later.

YUN: [I'll meet you there.]
It took a few seconds before his brain registered what he just read. Wait- what 'I'll meet you there'? Would he teleport here?
Before that was answered, the door to the lounge room opened. Yu Jiao walked in, looking a bit haggard. The question he had just now was temporarily forgotten when he saw her like that.
He stood up and walked to her. "Jiao Jiao, are you alright? Is everything okay?"
Yu Jiao shook her head and smiled. "It's okay. The customer I had to meet just now was just being too demanding. It's a bit of a headache."
"Why not just turn them away?"
"Well, I made sure to charge him a lot to make it worth the headache."
Luo Yan chuckled. It's definitely a joy seeing Yu Jiao being playful.
Then, the notification bell of an incoming message sounded again. He opened his Status Window again and read the message.
YUN: [I'm outside Forge Etna. Where are you?]
