Chapter 352 - FATHER LUO AND BROTHER REN'S CONVERSATION
INSIDE the private box of the company cafeteria that was dedicated to their president and CEO, the father and son duo of the Luo family were having their lunch. While eating, Luo Wei Tian suddenly remembered something.
"Old Tan mentioned something to me when I came back from my business trip. He said that Xiao Yan seemed to be overly close to a boy in his class. I heard from the housekeeper that this boy also stayed in our house for a night. The way Old Tan relayed the story, it's almost as if Xiao Yan and that boy are in an underground relationship," Luo Wei Tian said, shaking his head helplessly.
Luo Ren almost choked again on his own food. He quickly picked up a cup of warm water and drank it. Of course, he knew who this 'boy' his father was talking about. He cleared his throat and replied, "There was indeed a classmate who spent the night at our house. But it was a girl, not a boy."
Luo Wei Tian's eyes widened slightly. "A girl? Then is Xiao Yan really in some sort of underground relationship?"
Luo Ren looked at his father like he's some silly old man. "No, they're really just friends."
"How can you be so sure? What if this is your brother's puppy love?"
Luo Ren became irritated for no reason when he heard that. Remembering the tall shy girl and thinking of her being together with his younger brother, he became more irritated. "What puppy love? Dad, how old do you think is Yan Yan? Both of them are still too young."
"What 'too young'? They're already at their third year of high school. In two months' time, Xiao Yan will became an adult," Luo Wei Tian reasoned. "Not all teenagers could be like you when you're at their age."
"What's wrong with me?"
His father only gave him a glance, obviously telling him, 'as if you didn't know already'. Well, it was true that when he was in high school, he never thought of falling in love. When he started high school, it was the time when the tragedy of their family happened. How could he have the mentality of liking someone under that situation? That continued on until college. So, even until now, he still hadn't been in a relationship.
"Dad, are you actually hating your son's lack of relationship experience?"
"How could I? I'm just worried that with your character, I'd probably be in my 70s before you could even bring home a daughter-in-law for me."
At the mention of a daughter-in-law, the figure of that shy tall girl flashed in Luo Ren's mind once again. He shook his head sharply. [You're crazy, Luo Ren. What the hell were you just thinking?]
He wiped clean all those crazy thoughts in his mind and just said to his father, "Let's just get back to the previous topic."
Luo Wei Tian didn't refuse. He still knew this son of his. If he didn��t want to talk about something, he couldn't force him. "Then tell me why you're so certain that the girl is not Xiao Yan's puppy love."
"Because Yan Yan obviously has no awareness of gender distinction. For him, there's probably no difference between girls and boys. If not, he wouldn't so openly invite a female classmate to have a sleep-over in a house where three males live."
Luo Wei Tian was startled when he heard that. That probably should have been his focused when he found out about the matter of a girl sleeping over in their house. But his attention was put on whether the girl was his second son's puppy love instead. If his eldest didn't remind him, he would probably miss it.
He looked at Luo Ren meaningfully. He was satisfied with his eldest meticulousness. It would definitely be helpful in business. Then he thought back to what Luo Ren said – about Luo Yan not having gender distinction awareness. And he began to worry.
Considering how his second son had been in a coma for seven years, it's certainly possible for that to happen. No matter how smart Luo Yan was academically, there were still some things that he couldn't learn in school unless someone explained it to him.
He sighed. "I'm too negligent. I should have anticipated something like this sooner."
"It's no one's fault, Dad," Luo Ren said, comforting his father. "But it's probably better if you have a serious talk with Yan Yan."
"I know."
But as he said that, he could already imagine how awkward that conversation would be.
----------
After lunch, Luo Yan logged back into the game. He appeared in front of the gate of Alryne City. This was where he and Shen Ji Yun logged out earlier. So, they didn't have to waste time teleporting here.
Luo Jin actually invited him to grind levels together. Of course, he had to reject him. He said that he had to do another hidden task, so he couldn't go with him. Which was true anyway. He just concealed the little fact that Shen Ji Yun was doing that task with him.
It didn't take long for a little black fox to appear beside Luo Yan and jumping to his shoulder.
[Where's Captain, Mashter?]
He glanced sideways at the little fox. [Are you really sure that you're my pet and not your favorite Captain's?]
Eclipse quickly appeared aggrieved. [Mashter, Eclipse was just asking. There's no other meaning behind it.]
[Oh? So, that's why the first thing that you thought of was the Captain and not me.]
[Mashter--!] – Eclipse called even more aggrievedly.
Luo Yan chuckled and ruffled his little pet's fluffy head. [Okay, master is just teasing you.]
[Mashter is a bully. You always like to tease others. This must be how Captain is feeling whenever you teased him.]
[Are you sure? I don��t think so.]
Eclipse looked confusedly at him. [Why?]
Luo Yan smiled sweetly. [Because Brother Ji Yun enjoys it when I tease him.]
The little fox shook his head. [Now I feel much sorrier for Captain.]
Luo Yan could only laugh at what the little guy said.
"Yan Yan," suddenly called by a very familiar voice.
Luo Yan turned around and saw Shen Ji Yun walking towards him.
"Have you waited long?" Shen Ji Yun asked.
Luo Yan shook his head. "Shall we go?"
Shen Ji Yun nodded. And they both entered the gate of the city, walking towards the direction of Tropical Land.
