Chapter 461 - THE MVPS (1/2)

YU JIAO was sitting somehow in-between Luo Ren and Shen Ji Yun.  'Somehow' because while Luo Ren was sitting beside her, the distance between him and Shen Ji Yun was a few chairs.  Despite that, she could still feel the tension between the two.

She bit her lower lip.  She didn't like this kind of atmosphere.  She couldn't even understand why the two were suddenly going nose-to-nose with each other.  They were just discussing about how awesome Luo Yan was and it just turned to this.  It's like the two wanted to make a point and just couldn't agree with anything.

What she got from the conversation of the two, if one could even call it that, was Shen Ji Yun telling Luo Ren that he shouldn't be too overprotective of Luo Yan and Luo Ren answering that he understood but it's not really any of Shen Ji Yun's business.

She knew that both cared about Luo Yan.  So, why was there a need to argue?

Yu Jiao turned to Luo Ren and pulled the other's cuff.  ”Mr. Luo, please don't fight.”

Hearing that word 'Mr. Luo', the corner of Luo Ren's lips twitched.  The annoyance he felt because of Shen Ji Yun just vanished.  He gazed down at the 'handsome young man' beside him and leaned close.

Then he whispered in a voice that only they could hear, ”If you call me 'Brother Ren', then I will.”

Yu Jiao's face suddenly turned red.  ”You—I—”

”I'm just joking,” Luo Ren said.  If he continued teasing her, Yu Jiao's face would probably not only be red but crimson scarlet.  ”Don't worry, me and that guy were not really fighting.”

He realized just how childish he'd been.  Being confrontational with someone younger just because he suspected that the other liked his younger brother.  It was fine if he was at Luo Jin's age.  But he was the oldest here and yet he's acting really immature.  But could you blame him?  It's just really hard to control his feelings when it involved Luo Yan.

He understood that protecting Luo Yan from everything was not something that he and the rest of the family should do.  But he also knew that they should protect them from certain things.  Like being judged unfairly by society or something.

Another person who had been confused by the short confrontation between the two was Bai Ze.  He couldn't understand why his older cousin was so antagonistic towards Shen Ji Yun.  But Shen Ji Yun's attitude towards Luo Yan was even more less understandable.

He sighed.  It seemed like he really should talk to this friend of his.

Shen Ji Yun no longer paid attention to Luo Ren.  He knew that he really shouldn't leave this much bad impression on any of Luo Yan's family member.  But he just couldn't let Luo Ren continued to have this misconception about Luo Yan.  He didn't want him or the rest of his family to limit Luo Yan and be a form of 'shackle' to him.

Maybe it's a good thing that Luo Ren decided to enter the game today.  At least, the other would have a chance to see just how really strong Luo Yan was.

He suddenly felt something nudging on his palm.  He gazed down and saw the little fox rubbing his fluffy head on his hand.  The little thing was looking at him with eyes as if asking if he was alright.  A small smile appeared on his lips.

”Let's continue watching your master be amazing,” he said to Eclipse in an almost quiet voice.

And the Qilin and little Kitsune both turned their gazes towards the screen.
