Chapter 204 - CONVINCING DAD (2/2)

”It's okay, Dad. I'm good with balancing stuff,” Luo Yan just said.

”Why are you the one bringing this anyway?” Luo Wei Tian asked while putting the tray of coffee on the table.

”I volunteered. And I actually wanted to discuss something with you, Dad.”

”Do I need to leave?” Bai Chen asked.

”No, it's alright, Uncle. You can stay,” Luo Yan said.

He noticed that out of all the people in this house right now, the only one who could probably view him objectively was his uncle. That's why if he saw the merit in him visiting T University, then Bai Chen might actually help him in persuading his father.

”What do you want to talk about, Xiao Yan?” Luo Wei Tian asked.

Luo Yan started fidgeting to make it appear like he's nervous. ”A-actually I've been thinking about this since I found out we're going here at B City.”

”What is it?”

”Ahm, I- I have a request.” He clutched the hem of his father's shirt and raised his head. He stared up at his father, making sure his eyes looked hopeful and hesitant at the same time. ”C-can I go and visit T University this afternoon?”

When he saw how taken aback his father was, he increased his fidgeting and appeared to look even more worried.

Of course, Luo Wei Tian noticed this small actions. That's why he stopped the refusal that he was about to blurt. ”Why would you want to go there so suddenly?”

”I'm actually considering T University as one of the colleges I planned to go to next year. So, I was thinking if it's alright to check it now. It- it might take a while before we could come here again. So, I wanted to use this chance to visit the place.” He raised both his hand and formed a praying gesture. He then looked at his father with eyes full of hope. ”Please, Dad, can I?”

Luo Wei Tian wanted to refuse. But he couldn't really do it when Luo Yan was looking at him like this. He was afraid that if outright refused, his son would just cry.

He never imagined that Luo Yan was already thinking of his future. He just started high school and yet he's already choosing which university he would go to. Truthfully, there's really no need for him to refuse. But how could he just simply agree to this request?

”Why not let him go?” Bai Chen suddenly said. ”Just think of it as some kind of educational excursion. Let Ah Ze and Ji Yun accompany him since they both attend T University. It's the holiday, so there's no traffic. They're travel time would be shorten and they could return much earlier. There also wouldn't be that many students in the campus during this time, so it wouldn't cause any kind of commotion even if a high school student visited.”

As soon as Luo Yan heard that, he almost gave his uncle a thumbs-up. [Nice assist, Uncle Chen!]

Also, upon hearing that, Luo Wei Tian felt like he just had to agree. Because if he didn't, then he would just appear to be petty. And he didn't want the be the 'unreasonable' dad in this situation.

He sighed. ”I get it. You can go. Aside from Ah Ze and that other kid, bring your brothers with you as well. And try to come home before the sun sets.”

Luo Yan happily jumped and hugged his father's waist. ”Thanks, Dad! You're the best!”
