Chapter 929: THOUGHTS CIRCLING BACK TO ONE PERSON

YU JIAO instinctively reached out to Luo Jin and patted his back. "I-it's okay. Try to take a deep breath."

Luo Jin couldn't do that though and just continued coughing because some of that damn water went into the wrong pipe.

Seeing this reaction, Ying Chen knew that he was right. The other was indeed the amazing young master Jin. Remembering that little gnome and superimposing Luo Jin's real face to that game avatar, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You- hahaha! You really are that gnome? Hahaha!"

Luo Jin glared at the laughing guy. His face felt so hot that it must look like a flaming red jalapeno right now. He hadn't been so embarrassed before! Well, maybe there were times that he had been this embarrassed. But this was now, and at this moment, he really wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.

That damn game name! Just how many times would he be humiliated because of that silly mistake he made? It's even more embarrassing because the one laughing at him now was this guy.

He didn't respond to the other and just angrily continued eating.

Ying Chen felt like he's about to suffocate because of too much laughing. He should have probably long discovered that fact the moment he realized that Noctis was actually Luo Yan. A guy who was always stuck to Noctis and a game name that had the character 'Jin'. It was so obvious that it was actually a miracle that he now only realized it.

Still, it was hilarious. Just thinking how Luo Jin had this tough guy image but in the game, he was oddly cute and small, it was just peak comedy. Huang Wen would definitely have a good laugh once he found out.

Ying Chen's laugh was suddenly trapped in his throat because of how his thoughts circled back to Huang Wen once again. He picked up a glass of water to make sure he wouldn't choke on his saliva for forcefully stopping himself from laughing.

"I think Ah Jin's game name is wonderful," Luo Yan said. "Since my brother is definitely one amazing guy."

"Yes, that's correct!" Yu Jiao quickly followed up.

After hearing that, Luo Jin not only felt embarrassed but shy as well. He didn't have time to feel that way for long though. It's because of what he heard next after that.

"Now you're just being patronizing," Ying Chen said, rolling his eyes.

Luo Jin glared at the other. "You know, I'm this close to throwing a glass of water on you."

"Ha, yeah right. As if you would really do that," Ying Chen said with no fear.

Luo Jin held the chopsticks he's holding tighter and stab it on the meat on his plate, imagining that it was Ying Chen.

"Hey, Xiao Ying, don't bully my brother too much," Luo Yan said to Ying Chen. "My brother just have a... unique naming sense. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Luo Jin glanced at his brother with a gaze as if saying, 'are you really on my side?'. That 'unique naming sense' comment was totally unnecessary.

While Ying Chen had a very different complaint.

"Who are you calling 'Xiao Ying'?"

"You, who else?" Luo Yan said in a nonchalant tone. "You have the same name as our uncle. So, calling you 'Chen Chen', 'Ah Chen', or 'Xiao Chen' is just weird. That's why you just have to be satisfied with 'Xiao Ying'. Or do you actually preferred to be called 'Ying Ying'? That's fine with me as well."

Ying Chen wanted to shout 'was that the point?'. But by now, he already knew that it would useless. So, he could only hold his nape as if trying to prevent himself from suffering high blood pressure.

Really, if he continued hanging out with this guy, his hair would probably turn white before he even knew it. But somehow, weirdly enough, he didn't really hate it.

As much as he didn't want to admit, it's probably because of Luo Yan's charm. The other just had his way with people. It's annoying and very admirable at the same time. It's probably one of the reasons why Huang Wen liked him.

And... there he went again.

Ying Chen shook his head and decided to just enjoy his lunch.

Seeing that everyone had finally calm down, Luo Yan also went back to eat his lunch in peace. But as he did, he suddenly had this strange feeling that he was forgetting something.

He just shrugged and decided that it's probably not something important.

----------

Shen Ji Yun stared at his phone. He had been doing that since lunch earlier. But he still hadn't receive any message or call from Luo Yan. They had already discussed about how the other would speak to that guy, whatever his name was, today.

He didn't think much at first because Luo Yan had school today. The other probably didn't have time to contact him. But it was already half an hour since Luo Yan's class ended. And yet, there's still no message or call.

Shen Ji Yun actually wanted to contact the other first. But he's worried that Luo Yan might be busy and he would just end up disturbing the other. He told himself to be patient and just wait. But he's already at his limit.

So, once his last lecture for the day ended, he immediately called the other.

The call was immediately answered just right after the first ring.

"Oh no, Brother Ji Yun, I'm so sorry, I should have contacted you much sooner," Luo Yan said the moment he answered the phone.

By his tone, Shen Ji Yun could tell that he had forgotten contacting him. He felt a bit of discomfort. Like a tiny needle trying to poke at his heart.

"I see," he said, not even noticing that his voice was full of sulking.

Luo Yan, on the other line, clearly heard it and felt immensely guilty. Now, he wondered if it would even be a good thing to tell Shen Ji Yun about Huang Wen confessing to him.
