Chapter 1100 AT THE STUDY
LUO WEI TIAN looked at his two sons. One had a happy expression on his face, while the other looked constipated. Just based on that, one couldn't help but think that the two were either up to some mischief. This piqued his interest.
"What is it?" he asked his youngest.
Luo Jin fidgeted. He didn't say anything immediately, and just glanced at Luo Ren. This made Luo Ren raised his brow.
"What, is it something I can't hear?" Luo Ren asked, now also curious. "I won't leave though," he added with a grin. "So, feel free to speak. Maybe I can also give you good advice."
Luo Jin looked at the teasing grin on his older brother's face, then at the shining eyes of Luo Yan, as if encouraging him to quickly speak. But he couldn't help but feel that the latter was just waiting to watch a show. He sighed with frustration. Really, too unreliable, each and every one of them. And they call themselves his older brother?
He shook his head and decided to just go for it. Nothing would change if he just stood here, saying nothing.
"Dad, can I go to B City on Saturday?"
Luo Wei Tian furrowed his brows a bit. "To B City? Is it a school activity? If you need me to sign a form, just give it. I will sign it."
A school activity was a pretty good excuse. If Luo Jin was alone with his father and he didn't have that conversation with Luo Yan earlier, he might have gone along with that. But since that wasn't the current situation, he couldn't bring himself to lie.
"No, it's not for a school activity," he said. "It's... I— I plan to visit Yuqi. It's her birthday, you see. I- I want to give her a gift personally."
Now that made Luo Wei Tian's brows furrowed even further. "Yuqi?"
"You've met her, Dad. She's the girl in our team with pink hair and butterfly wings," Luo Yan reminded their father when he saw that the other seemed to be trying to remember who Yuqi was.
Well, it's understandable that their father wouldn't immediately remember who Su Yuqi was. After all, they really didn't interact much when their father entered the game to watch the Rookie Carnival. Their father interacted more with Yu Jiao back then. And it also happened more that six months ago. So.
Luo Wei Tian finally remembered who it was. But that made even more confusing for him.
If his son wanted to fly to B City just to give a gift he could just send via courier, it meant that the relationship between the two might not be simple. But that's where the problem lay. He didn't mind Luo Jin having a crush on someone. But at least find a girl his age. What would happen if he became a criminal because of this?
"That little girl? Isn't she too young for you?"
Luo Jin's whole face turned scarlet, not out of shyness, but more of disbelief and embarrassment from what Luo Wei Tian was insinuating.
Luo Ren glanced at his brother with pity. Since he had already seen Su Yuqi in reality, he would never think of the other as a 'little girl'. But then again, their father had also met Su Yuqi in real life. But it was just one dinner when their family went to B CIty for the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Their father most likely had forgotten it.
This situation kind of reminded him of the time when his father thought he was gay because Yu Jiao's avatar was male.
Luo Yan bit the inner part of his cheek to prevent himself from laughing out loud. He composed himself for a few seconds before saying;
"Dad, Sister Yuqi is not a 'little girl'. She's actually the same age as Brother Ze. Have you forgotten, you already met her at that one dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
When Luo Wei Tian heard that, a certain memory immediately flashed in his mind. In the dinner Luo Yan mentioned, he remembered a young woman with bleached silver hair, colorful make-up, and a bunch of piercings on her ears.
Thinking of the possibility that Luo Jin might have a crush on the other, Luo Wei Tian felt complicated. He probably should just be glad that his youngest didn't have an interest in a middle-school girl. Having a crush on a young woman with a unique fashion sense was definitely much better.
But still, this and him wanting to go to B City by himself were two different things.
"If you want to give her a gift, sending it via courier would definitely be enough," Luo Wei Tian said. "Or did she tell you that she wanted you to go to B City to give the gift yourself?"
"No!" Luo Jin quickly said. The last thing he wanted was for this conversation to end with his father having a bad opinion of Su Yuqi. "That's definitely not it. She had never said that. I just... I just wanted to surprise her. I..."
When he couldn't think of what to say, he quickly glanced at Luo Yan. His eyes silently saying, 'You said you're going to support me. This is the right time to do that!'.
As if receiving his signal, Luo Yan intervened and said, "Dad, Ah Jin simply wants to make a good impression on Sister Yuqi. It's his first attempt at romance. Shouldn't we offer him our support? After all, he's not the type to let his studies suffer because of a crush. Remember how he used to excel in class even when he was getting into fights every day? Surely, flying to another city to impress a girl is a far better use of his time and energy." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Luo Jin didn't know if Luo Yan was complimenting him or what. But he really didn't care right now, since the more important thing was for their father to agree. He looked at his father with eyes as if saying 'please agree!'.
