Chapter 202 - INTRODUCTION (1/2)

”GOOD afternoon. I apologized for the sudden intrusion,” Shen Ji Yun greeted when he walked in the dining area and saw the other people standing there.

The only ones he's familiar with were Bai Ze's father – Bai Chen, and Luo Jin. The other two men, he's definitely not familiar with. One was older, probably in the same age range as Bai Chen. He was tall and very fit. One could see that he worked out pretty regularly. That's why anyone would easily assume that he's 10 years younger. The other one was like the younger version of the older man. His every facial feature resembled that of the old man's like a perfect copy. No one would doubt that they're a pair of father and son.

Seeing their slight resemblance to Luo Jin, Shen Ji Yun had no doubt that the two were the rabbit's father and older brother. Realizing that, he suddenly wanted to leave a good impression on them. Something that he never thought he would be bothered of doing.

”Ji Yun, you're always welcome here. So, there's no need for any apologies,” Bai Chen said. ”I see that you've already met our Xiao Yan,” he added.

Because just like the rest, he also noticed the very friendly atmosphere between the two. Shen Ji Yun was even showing such a gentle expression. Something that he had rarely seen for the past decade since this kid and his son became friends.

”Dad, have you forgotten already? Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin are also playing Arcadia. So, they've already met Ji Yun,” Bai Ze said while putting down Bai Ye.

”Ah, right. You did mention that,” Bai Chen said seemingly only remembering that fact now.

”Oh, that game. Then could this young man be the 'captain' Xiao Yan has been talking about?” Luo Wei Tian asked with interest.

Luo Yan walked beside his father. ”That's right. It's him, Dad,” he said confirming what his father asked. Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun. ”Brother Ji Yun, this is my Dad – Luo Wei Tian. Handsome, isn't he?” he added, smiling proudly while hugging his father's arm.

Luo Wei Tian smiled down at his second son and tap his nose. ”You sweet kid. You're making your father blush.” He then turned to Shen Ji Yun and offered his hand to him. ”It's nice to finally meet you, Shen Ji Yun.”

Shen Ji Yun subconsciously stood up straight before shaking Luo Wei Tian's hand. ”Likewise, Mr. Luo.”

Luo Wei Tian raised one of his brows when he felt the kid's firm grasp. ”Although I have no clue how that game works, let me give my thanks for taking care of Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin,” he said after taking back his hand.

Luo Jin resisted the urge to correct his father. What taking care of? That might be true for Luo Yan, but certainly not applicable to him.

”No. Both of them are really good players. There's almost no need for me of anyone else to help them.”

This time, Luo Jin gave Shen Ji Yun and unbelieving glance. Did this guy just praise him? Wait- more importantly, why did it feel like this guy was kind of sucking-up to his father?

”Ji Yun is right, Uncle. These two are amazing,” Bai Ze said while putting his arms on Luo Yan and Luo Jin's shoulders. ”If you could see how they fi—”

Bai Ze wasn't able to finish what he was saying because his side was suddenly pinched hard. It took all of his self-control just not to squeak like a little girl. He gazed down at the side where he was pinched and saw Luo Yan smiling at him. But those eyes were definitely not smiling. In fact, it looked threatening. As if silently telling him to not say anything.
