Chapter 429 - TELLING THEIR STORY (1/2)
SHEN JI YUN was confused at first. He wondered why his uncle suddenly wanted to tell a story when they were in the middle of an important conversation. And then he realized that his uncle said 'my story' instead of a simple 'story'. That meant that he was going to tell him his experience. And this experience might affect his decision in pursuing Luo Yan.
”Is Uncle going to tell me your… love story?” he tentatively asked, because that's the only kind of 'experience' relevant to their current topic of conversation.
Shen Yi Mu looked at his nephew who seemed very reluctant to hear about his uncle's love life. If he was in his shoes, he might also feel the same. It's awkward talking about his experience on love with Ji Yun. But what could he do? This was the only way he could show Ji Yun the reality of what it meant to fall in love with someone of the same gender.
If he gave his own life experience as an example instead of that of a stranger, then Ji Yun would have a better sense of substitution. Ji Yun could simply put himself on his uncle's shoes. That way, he would have a better understanding of the things that he might face in the future.
”Yes. So, you better listen carefully,” he said, answering his nephew's question.
”But has Uncle ever had a… significant someone?” Shen Ji Yun asked, a bit tangled. He wanted to say 'girlfriend' but that might hit his uncle's self-esteem more. So, he chose to just phrase it lightly.
Don't blame him for asking. His uncle had been his guardian for more than a decade. Which meant that he had been living with him since that long. Even now that he's already an a.d.u.l.t and no longer need a guardian, he was still living with him. In that long duration of time, his uncle had never introduced a girlfriend to him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bbl%5D_13719703905965805/telling-their-story_51773701892404364 for visiting.
Then, where did this 'love life' come from?
Seeing the disbelieving expression on Ji Yun's face, Shen Yi Mu almost stood up and smack his nephew at the back of his head. Did this kid think he was an old v.i.r.g.i.n with no romantic history?
Knowing how Ji Yun's brain circuit worked, that was most probably the case. Once again, he resisted the urge to smack the kid.
”Of course, I have. You even met him too!” he said. When he saw his nephew's even more confused face, he gritted his teeth and shouted, ”It's Jiang Yue!”
At the mention of that name, an image of an extraordinarily handsome man with a pair of apricot eyes flashed in his mind. Uncle Yue was a friend of his uncle who often stayed in this house in the past. But he suddenly stopped coming about seven years ago.
Then he was dumbstruck. Because he just realized what his uncle meant. Uncle Yue was his uncle's lover!
Now he suddenly understood a lot of things that he had never noticed before. His uncle's certain obsession with the character 'Yue' – as evidence of the name of his company and even why he was grumbling to change the name of their team. Because it was the combination of Shen Ji Yun's name and Uncle Yue's name. Thinking of that, he suddenly wanted to facepalm. He couldn't believe his uncle could be that childish.
Also, if he had looked more closely when Uncle Yue was interacting with his uncle, the he could have probably noticed the closeness of the two. Closeness that simply didn't conform to that of a simple friendship.
