LUO YAN suddenly had goosebumps. Why did he suddenly feel like something bad would happen to Shen Ji Yun if he gave his brother the wrong answer? But what was the wrong answer anyway? In this situation, wasn’t it more beneficial to just gibe whatever answer Luo Ren wanted? But Luo Yan knew he couldn’t do that.
He was here to come clean in the first place. Wouldn’t lying simply defeat that purpose? Anyway, it’s not like Luo Ren would actually beat Shen Ji Yun to a pulp. Well, he might try to do that in the game. But Shen Ji Yun had a higher level so there’s no way his brother could hurt him.
[I believe in you, Brother Ji Yun. I know you can pass whatever hurdle my brother would try to throw at you.] – he said in his heart.
With that little prayer, he decided to answer Luo Ren honestly.
“During the weekend. When we went to Hunan province.”
After hearing that answer, Luo Ren tried to recall everything that happened during the weekend. And then, he accurately found the possible moment in which Shen Ji Yun confessed to Luo Yan.
“On Saturday night,” he said, more of a statement rather than a question.
It’s easy to see that since the morning after, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun suddenly had this sticky pink atmosphere around them. Besides, it was only during that night that the two could be alone with each other since they shared the same suite.
Luo Ren almost laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. He thought that Shen Ji Yun wouldn’t try any hocus pocus since their father was also there. But who would have thought that he was brazen enough to confess to Luo Yan under their father’s nose? He would have applauded him if the other person involved was not his brother.
“So, did he go to your room at the middle of the night and confessed his feelings for you?” he asked with a smile.
Luo Yan once again felt a strange threat from that smile. “No. Brother Ji Yun actually prepared a lot.”
Then, he started telling his brother the things that led to Shen Ji Yun’s confession. From the game that he made specifically for that occasion to him giving Luo Yan his ‘heart’.
Luo Ren raised a brow when he heard all that. He couldn’t actually imagined Shen Ji Yun doing all those things. Even he who didn’t know a lot about romance could see that the other’s gestures were truly, what people would call, romantic.
Well, at least this showed that Shen Ji Yun wasn’t taking Luo Yan for granted. Preparing something so elaborate just to confess meant that confessing to Luo Yan was very important to him. That Luo Yan was important.
But this didn’t really decrease his annoyance towards Shen Ji Yun. After all, it wouldn’t change the fact that he had ulterior motives when he accompanied their family to Hunan province.
Confessing first before talking to any of them and telling them what his intentions were towards Luo Yan just didn’t sit right with Luo Ren. Granted that it might really be much harder for him since his and Luo Yan’s situation was far from what this society considered as ‘normal’. But still.
Although looking as how proudly Luo Yan told him about all this, it could be seen just how much he liked the guy. Which only made Luo Ren feel all kinds of complicated.
He still disapproved deep inside. Because he knew how hard it would be for his brother in the future. The criticism he would face, as well as the judgmental gaze he would be subjected on, just imagining it could make Luo Ren lose his reason.
But he also knew that Luo Yan didn’t care about those things. If he did, then he would be much more conflicted about his feelings towards Shen Ji Yun. But from what he had observed, since the beginning, Luo Yan had never faltered.
It’s like he was very sure of what he wanted. So, who was he to stop that? No matter how worried he might be, this was still Luo Yan’s life. At the end of the day, the other was the only one who had the right to make those decisions. The only thing Luo Ren could do as his brother was to support him unconditionally.
He took a deep breath and said, “Okay. I understand. Who else knew about this?”
Luo Yan secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although he was expecting a more violent reaction than this, he was glad that him and his brother came to an understanding.
“You, Ah Jin, Jiao Jiao, Brother Ze, and Sister Yuqi.”
Oh, also Uncle Yi Mu. But if Luo Yan mentioned that, then he had to also tell his brother about the other’s sexuality and that’s not for him to say.

Luo Ren nodded. He already expected as much. Bai Ze probably wouldn’t tell Uncle Chen or Auntie Xiulan about this. So, it would probably take a while before the elders of the family knew about it.
“When do you plan to tell Dad?” he asked.
“Not now. But definitely in the future.”
“Then, I hope that once you decided to do it, the one who would tell Dad about this would be Shen Ji Yun and not you,” Luo Ren said. “He should at least do that much.”
Luo Yan let out an awkward laugh. Yup, his brother definitely still disliked Shen Ji Yun. But it’s not hard to make that promise, especially since he was sure that Shen Ji Yun would volunteer to do that himself.
“Okay.”
“And tell him to meet me in the game sometime Sunday,” Luo Ren added. “He and I have a lot to talk about.”
If he wasn’t too busy this week, he would have met the other as soon as possible.
Luo Yan nodded and once again lit a candle in his heart for Shen Ji Yun.
[Good luck, Brother Ji Yun. Fighting!]
