Chapter 689 Good choice
Chapter 689 Good choice
On one side of Imperial, an abandoned factory remained as still as the sea. Inside the rundown place, the three men taking shelter were wide awake.
The second to finish getting ready, Kira sat in front of his computer station. He had only turned on the computer for not long, but when he saw the daily news in Imperial, his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Jun!"
He calls out with his right arm waving in direction, but he never looked away from the monitor screen.
"Come take a look at this."
Qin Jun was standing not too far from the long-haired man. He was the first to get ready and decided to cook them breakfast before they head out. However, due to the place barely able to stand, they had to cook their food on a portable grill.
When he heard Kira's words, he pauses in his movements and turns to look at the man.
"What is it?"
He places the grilling tongs down on a table nearby. He walks over to the computer station and heaves a sigh.
"Why are you making such a ruckus in the morning? Are you trying to alert those from Retro that we are here?"
He didn't understand why Kira was so loud. Didn't the man just turn on his computer?
Kira rolled his eyes with his back turned to the man. When he heard Qin Jun's footsteps stopped at his side, he spun around in his chair and points to the monitor screen.
"This! This is why I am making a loud ruckus. See for yourself."
Stopping in his steps, Qin Jun was dumbfounded by the man who looked similar to a samurai. However, shaking his head, he looks at the screen.
When he saw what Kira had seen, he wasn't taken back by surprise. Instead, he arches a brow in amusement.
"This—"
"Jun! Kira!!"
Before Qin Jun could finish his words, from behind their two figures, a younger man's roar for them back be heard. Both Qin Jun and Kira turn to look in the direction the voice was coming from.
"Well, looks like he saw it."
Kira mutter in a nonchalant voice. His left arm raises, and he picks his ear with his pinky like the roaring voice had caused an itch in his ear.
"You want to handle this, or should I go explain to our Little Princess?"
Qin Jun kept his usual calm expression, but inside, he was more dumbfounded by his friend. He blinks his eyes a few times before walking away from the computer station.
"I'll deal with Little… I mean, Song Jing Li."
He clears his throat awkwardly. He couldn't believe he almost called Song Jing Li as Little Princess. No, the question is, when did the kid gain such a womanly nickname?
Entering the room next door, it was small like it used to be a storage room. However, since they were staying here, Song Jing Li had turned this room into his sleeping place.
Qin Jun didn't have to search for the young man as he (Song Jing Li) was pacing back and forth in the room like a panicked old man. He was also mumbling incoherent words to himself.
"What is it this time?"
Ever since they came to Imperial, he (Qin Jun) felt the boy has been acting up over everything.
Song Jing Li stops pacing when he heard Qin Jun, he flung his head at the man and his nostrils flare like he was a wild beast ready to unleash his wrath.
"You!"
His expression distorted with anger and he shows Qin Jun his phone.
"She said YES!"
Qin Jun glance at the phone screen and arch a brow. He wasn't surprised by what was on the phone, but at the boy's expression.
Most people when angry tend to have a very unpleasing face, he no exception. However, Song Jing Li's face at this moment was more on the cute side.
It's no wonder Kira started calling him 'Little Princess'.
He chuckles at this thought and shakes his head. Looking back at the phone screen, he heaves a long sigh and walks over to sit down on a chair.
"She said yes. What's so surprising about it?"
Song Jing Li was in disbelief. His expression scrunch in frustration at how calm Qin Jun was being. He snorts a hmmf and strides to the futon mattress he sleeps on. Plopping down to sit, he crisscrosses his legs like he was going to meditate.
"How are you not panicking over this? Are you fine with this?"
Qin Jun leans back on the chair and crosses his arms over his chest.
"What's there to panic? This is her decision. She can be with whoever she wants."
Hearing his response, Song Jing Li was put at a loss. He stares with slightly wide eyes at the man for what felt like an entire day when it was only a few seconds.
"Hyun, so you're saying Lu Tian is a good choice for noona?"
Qin Jun doesn't answer right away but stares back at Song Jing Li. He sighs again and raises his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.
"He's coldblooded and has killed many, but he's not that bad of a person."
He lowers his hand enough so that his eyes can meet with Song Jing Li's again.
"Or…"
He moves his hand down to his chin and his eyes narrow as he slowly stroke his chin like had a long beard.
"Are you trying to put in the picture that you're the 'good choice' for her?"
"…"
Song Jing Li was dumbfounded by his words. However, his entire face did not forget to flush a shade of crimson red and he chokes on his saliva.
"*Cough *Cough! Hyun, are you crazy?!"
He pats his chest to calm himself down and tried to catch his breath. He also doesn't forget to send a deadly glare at the man.
In honesty, he has never met another woman more beautiful than Yue Ling. She not only has the looks, but her heart is also pure and good.
To him, if Shin is the sun the warms his days then Yue Ling is the moon that lights the way for him.
He tends to act up when it involves Yue Ling because he already lost his sun, he doesn't want to lose his moon too.
However��
"I cannot be selfish…"
He murmurs his thoughts in a very whisper, but Qin Jun heard him loud and clear. He (Qin Jun) arch both his eyebrows and stroke his imaginary beard again.
"Ah… So you are implying that you are a better choice for her."
"…"
Song Jing Li was even more dumbfounded. His eyelids turned heavy and the expression on his face was as if saying, 'when did I ever say I was the better choice?'
His love for Yue Ling is only that of siblings. Nothing more and nothing less.
His glaring eyes intensify at Qin Jun. However, seeing the man's expression full of teasing and trying no to laugh, his nostrils flare more than they already are.
He quickly steadies himself and stuck his chest out with his chin slightly raised.
"I am a good choice, but noona is too good for me. I can only admire her like the moon."
This time, it was Qin Jun's turn to be dumbfounded. His eyelids grew heavy and he stares at Song Jing Li with an expression saying, 'What?'
"Pfffftttt—"
