Chapter 220 - TO SCALE TWO TALL WALLS (2/2)

”What can you say to him that you can't say while you're around us?” Luo Jin said, clearly a bit disgruntled.

Luo Yan sighed. Seriously, why were these two suddenly teaming up right now? So, he could only glance over his father and give him his puppy dog eyes – trying to look pitiful and adorable at the same time. Which, of course, immediately worked.

”You two, stop being unreasonable and just let your brother talk to Ji Yun.”

After his father said that, Luo Yan removed Luo Ren's arm from his shoulders and quickly pulled Shen Ji Yun a few distance away from the rest. Not that far that they would not be seen. But not so close either that they could easily hear what they're talking about.

He didn't dally and just went straight to the point. ”Brother Ji Yun, I'm sorry for the things I did yesterday. I hope you were not offended.”

Shen Ji Yun was confused at first why Luo Yan would think that. And then he remembered the way he acted after that incident on the rooftop. If he was on Luo Yan's shoes, he would definitely have the same idea. He suddenly wanted to kick himself for acting so awkward yesterday.

”No, I was not offended,” he quickly said. ”I was just surprised, that's all. But not offended. So, there's no need for you to apologize.”

Luo Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. ”Then why were Brother Ji Yun acting like you were mad at me or something? You wouldn't even look at me yesterday,” he said, sulking a bit.

Shen Ji Yun tried his best not to move his hand and pinch Luo Yan's cheek. He just looked so cute, sulking like that. ”How could I be mad at you? I was just surprised.”

”I still feel a bit guilty though,” Luo Yan said, which was true. Because even if Shen Ji Yun said that he wasn't offended, at some level, it definitely made him uncomfortable. ”If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, tell me, okay? And you definitely can't say 'no'.”

Shen Ji Yun smiled helplessly. He no longer resisted and just pinched Luo Yan's cheek. ”Okay.”

Then Luo Yan was startled when both his hands were suddenly held. He turned his head from side to side and saw both his brothers holding each of his hands. He didn't even notice when the two approached them.

”It's time to go inside,” Luo Ren said, smiling down at Luo Yan. Then he looked at Shen Ji Yun, no longer smiling. His gaze full of silent warning.

Luo Jin, on the side, was also glaring at Shen Ji Yun.

And the two pulled Luo Yan away. Luo Yan could only helplessly glance back at Shen Ji Yun and smiled apologetically at him. Shen Ji Yun nodded as if telling him that he understood.

Shen Ji Yun stared at the back of the three and could only sigh. It seemed like there's really a very long road ahead of him. And before he could even reach Luo Yan, he probably had to scale two tall walls named Luo Ren and Luo Jin. After that, a guard by the name of their father would probably be still waiting for him. Once again, he could only sigh.

But that didn't matter. Because he would still forge ahead. He would scale any walls and climb any mountain as long as it would lead him to Luo Yan.
