WHEN Luo Yan entered the restaurant, he quickly looked around to search for Shen Ji Yun. It didn't take long before he spotted him. He was sitting near the window, being surrounded by a cold atmosphere. As if silently telling everyone – 'don't come near me, don't talk to me'. However, people still couldn't help but glanced at his direction. Some were even tempted to walked near him.
As evidence of that, a young woman couldn't take it anymore and finally walked towards the table. She smiled like a flower towards Shen Ji Yun. But the other only glanced at her, said something back, and then turned his head towards the glass window. The young woman's face quickly turned red in embarrassment. After that, she walked away angrily.
Luo Yan raised one of his brows when he witnessed this. Even though he didn't hear the conversation of the two, he already had a guess on how it went. Knowing Shen Ji Yun, he probably rejected the girl straightforwardly without even thinking if he might embarrass the other person. He didn't even give that girl a second look.
The people in the restaurant who also saw this scene only shook their heads. Luo Yan even heard someone commenting that Shen Ji Yun was too arrogant.
Of course, he didn't share the same opinion. It was not as if Shen Ji Yun specifically looked for that girl because he wanted to humiliate her. No, that girl went to him on her own volition. Not that he's saying that the girl deserved to be treated coldly like that. It's just wrong for people to label Shen Ji Yun as 'arrogant' just because of what happened.
It's not Shen Ji Yun's fault that he was too handsome. It's only natural that he would be surrounded by countless bees and butterflies.
Thinking of that, he suddenly remembered the captain of team Siren. That girl obviously had a crush on Shen Ji Yun. He was certain that she was not the only one who shared the same sentiment. It wouldn't be impossible that there's a bunch of girls circling around Shen Ji Yun in a place Luo Yan didn't know.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
He shook his head. Now was definitely not the time to feel that. Especially since they were not yet in that kind of relationship. Wait- what's with the 'yet'? He shook his head more sharply.
It's better to just talk to Shen Ji Yun that stayed here and have all these weird thoughts. So, he finally walked towards the direction of the table where the other was sitting.
"Brother Ji Yun," he called when he was only a few steps away from him.
Shen Ji Yun quickly turned to the direction of that familiar sweet voice. When he saw Luo Yan, the coldness surrounding him instantly melted. It's almost as if the cold winter just turned into warm summer. There was even a small smile on his lips.
"Yan Yan."
Luo Yan was a bit hit by this smile. If Shen Ji Yun always smiled like this, the people who were chasing him would definitely go on for miles and miles. If he didn't have a cold attitude towards others, then many girls would definitely have their hearts stolen. Maybe even boys.
He shook his head once again because of his weird train of thought. He just sat down on the seat opposite Shen Ji Yun.
"What does Brother Ji Yun want to talk to me about?" he just asked. It's better to talk about this than have him continue thinking of weird things.
Shen Ji Yun didn't expect that Luo Yan would immediately ask him about this. So, he suddenly became nervous. Wondering if his rabbit would like his gift. "I- I actually wanted to give you something. I probably wouldn't be able to give it to you if your brothers are around. They seem to guard against me very much."
Luo Yan felt excited when he heard the first part. So, he was right. Shen Ji Yun was really planning to give him something. While on the last part, he couldn't actually agree more.
Luo Jin had been against Shen Ji Yun since day 1. What surprised him more was Luo Ren. Maybe he could also feel Shen Ji Yun's affection towards him that's why he was reacting that way. He might not be so 'in your face' like their younger brother, but he still showed it in his own way.
He smiled at Shen Ji Yun. "What a coincidence, I also plan to give something to Brother Ji Yun. Should we exchange presents?"
After he said that, he put the paper bag he was holding on the table and pushed it towards the other.
Shen Ji Yun was truly surprised seeing the paper bag. After all, he hadn't seen Luo Yan bought anything like this today. Could it have been prepared beforehand? No, he immediately denied that idea. After all, his rabbit didn't know that he was actually planning to follow him here.
Then he remembered that Luo Yan ran towards the reception desk earlier. Could it be to get this paper bag? Then, did he order this item online and had it deliver here? That's the only way he could think of.
"Brother Ji Yun, what about my gift?"
Luo Yan's voice ended Shen Ji Yun's speculation and quickly took a box from the inner pocket of his coat. Just like Luo Yan, he pushed it towards the other's direction. "I hope Yan Yan will like it."
"I also hope Brother Ji Yun would like my gift," Luo Yan said. "Should we open it at the same time?"
Shen Ji Yun wanted to say 'no'. Because he wasn't sure if he could control the happiness he was feeling. Even now, he was already on cloud nine just knowing that Luo Yan bought him something. If his happiness overflowed, he might just go and hug his rabbit here. He didn't want the other to think that he was out of his mind or something.
But at the end, he still said, "Okay."
After all, how could he disappoint Luo Yan when he was looking at him with those eyes filled with expectations?
The box Shen Ji Yun gave was a simple black velvet box. It was simple yet very tasteful. There was only one ribbon around it so Luo Yan was quickly able to open it. When he saw what was inside, his eyes widened. Not only because of surprise but also because of wonder.
Inside was a red-string bracelet with a little piece of green jade. Carved on that green jade was the character – 'Yan'.
He raised his head and saw that Shen Ji Yun had also opened his gift. And just like him, he looked extremely surprised. Because what's inside was also a red-string bracelet with a green jade piece. And just like the bracelet in Luo Yan's hand, there was also a character carved on it – 'Yun'.
Luo Yan smiled. "Really, what a coincidence."
