Chapter 198 - COLLIDING GAZES (1/2)

AFTER waking up and doing his usual routine, Luo Yan finally went out of the room given to him. Taking in his current constitution, the room given to him was in the first floor. So, it didn't take long for him to reach the dining area.

He was quite surprise to see that the Bai couple was already up and sitting on the table. As well as his father and older brother. The rest was probably still asleep. And here he thought he woke up the earliest.

”Good morning!” he greeted.

The others immediately greeted him back.

”Xiao Yan, come sit here beside me,” his father called, gesturing the chair beside him.

The seat was between his father and his older brother. As if they were reserving the seat for him. Which, considering the two, would probably indeed be the case. He smiled helplessly and sat on the chair.

He looked at the table and saw the varieties of Western breakfast food like pancakes, waffles, omelets, salad, and some clubhouse sandwiches. He preferred traditional breakfast but it's also not bad to try a different menu from time to time.

”How come Xiao Yan woke up so early?” Sun Xiulan asked. ”You should have slept more. Even Ah Ye is still not awake.”

”It's okay, Aunt. I'm used to waking up around this time,” Luo Yan answered, smiling.

”It's good to have a fixed routine while you're still young. It would make you more disciplined,” Bai Chen said.

”Bai Chen, what are you saying? What if Xiao Yan's beautiful skin became rough because of lack of sleep?” Sun Xiulan said, seemingly affronted by her husband's suggestion.

”Aunt, don't worry. I'll make sure Yan Yan's skin will remain smooth and beautiful,” Luo Ren said, as if he was indeed planning to be in charged of his brother's skin care.

Sun Xiulan gave him a thumbs-up. ”I expect no less from Ah Ren.”

Luo Yan almost laughed seeing the interaction between the two.

”Xiao Yan, what do you want to eat?” his father asked him instead, ignoring the two.

Luo Yan looked around the table, then he turned to his father and smiled. ”Pancakes!”

Luo Jin caught the ball flying to his direction. Then he threw it back to the kid a few distance away from him. He threw it as gently and as weakly as he could. It wouldn't be good if he accidentally hurt Bai Ye because he threw the ball a bit too hard.

”Brother Jin, can you throw the ball with more energy?” Bai Ye called when he caught the ball.

Luo Jin felt that a vein on his forehead almost popped when he heard that. ”Hey, brat, do you think I want to play this stupid game with you?”

He thought this brat was scared of him. But just after a day, he was already acting so cheeky.
