Chapter 236 - DO YOUR BEST, SHEN JI YUN (1/2)

”YAN, why didn't I see you in the headquarters earlier?” asked Luo Jin when Luo Yan was about to enter his room. ”You must have logged in only a few minutes earlier than me.”

The family just finished eating dinner. So, Luo Yan planned to go to his room and contact Yu Jiao to talk about those designs. He hoped that she would agree to his request and draw those designs.

”Ah,” he was about to say that he was doing some errands with Shen Ji Yun but he immediately stopped himself. If Luo Jin knew that he was alone with Shen Ji Yun, he might throw a fit like usual. Telling him to be careful around the guy who Luo Jin kept on insisting that had an ulterior motive for getting close to him. ”I was preparing some things for the opening of my pavilion. How about Ah Jin?”

If Luo Jin went online earlier, it was actually kind of weird that he didn't send Luo Yan any message despite knowing that he was also playing the game. If it was normal, Luo Jin would definitely send him a message asking him where he was. But for the whole duration that he was online earlier, Luo Yan didn't receive any message from him.

Luo Jin scratched his cheek and looked sideways. ”I was busy doing some task.”

Luo Yan observed his reaction. Seeing the way he dodged his gaze, a sudden thought entered his mind. Then a teasing grin appeared on his face. ”I see. You must have been doing some kind of task with Sister Yuqi.”

Luo Jin was slightly startled when he heard what his second brother said. He was about to confirm his guest but when he saw the teasing grin on his brother's face, he changed his mind. He already had an idea what this brother of his was thinking right now.

”I wasn't!” he unconsciously shouted.

”Oh? Then I was wrong? Weird. I'm pretty sure that the only reason Ah Jin would forget sending me a message is if you're with Sister Yuqi. After all, in Ah Jin's mind, spending time with Sister Yuqi must be more important.”

Luo Jin's whole face quickly turned red. ”I- I told you I wasn't!”

Then he abruptly turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Luo Yan chuckled and just entered his room. He picked up his phone that was placed on his study table and sat on his bed. Thinking of his younger brother's blushing face, he couldn't help but laugh once again. Luo Jin was really cute when he was embarrassed like that. It was so obvious that he had a crush on Su Yuqi yet he still insisted on denying it.

Thinking of that, he suddenly couldn't stop himself from remembering the last conversation he had with Eclipse before he logged out.

=====

[Mashter, Mashter, Eclipse has something to tell you.] – Eclipse said when they teleported back to the team's headquarters.

[What is it?] – he asked.

[Do you remember when Captain asked you to go on ahead, you know, when we were still in that building where you bought those NPCs?]

[Yeah, what about it?]

[Didn't Captain say that he had to talk to the administrator that's why he asked you to go out first? Well, he didn't. He actually talked to a cat beastkin girl.]

Luo Yan's interest was actually piqued when he heard that. He knew that Shen Ji Yun was lying when he said that. He just didn't expect that he would talk to a female player. There's nothing wrong with that. So, why lie?
