Chapter 351 - BAFFLED UNCLE

LUO YAN logged out of the game and went out of his room. He walked directly to the dining area to eat lunch. He was surprised to see that Luo Jin was not there. He expected that he would already be there and waiting to have lunch with him. Since both their father and older brother still have to go to the company despite today being the start of a week-long holiday, he thought Luo Jin would definitely want to accompany him to lunch.

[Don't tell me that kid was still playing Arcadia?]

"Second young master, do you want your lunch to be served now?" a maid who had seen him walking to the dining room asked.

"No, let's wait for Ah Jin before you started serving," he answered. "By the way, has he gone out of his room since this morning?"

"No, second young master. The third master hasn't gone out of his room. Does the young master needed me to call the third young master?"

Luo Yan shook his head and smile at the maid. "No need. Thank you."

The simply his by this smile. Ah, their second young master was simply an angel. "There's no need for thanks. If the second young master needs anything, just call me."

Luo Yan nodded and just walked towards his usual seat on the dining table, planning to wait for Luo Jin. That waiting didn't take long. A few minutes later, Luo Jin came running down the stairs and straight to the dining area. 

"You just logged out of the game?" Luo Yan asked when the other sat on his usual seat.

"Yeah. I didn't notice the time."

"Were you grinding levels since we left Jiao Jiao's shop?" 

Luo Jin's eyes suddenly brightened with his question. "Yes. The weapons Yu Jiao made is really incredible. It's easy to use and also full of power. I was having too much fun with it that I almost didn't notice the time."

"It's what Jiao Jiao made, so of course it would be amazing."

Luo Jin didn't refute that. "How about your weapon? How was it?"

Remembering how he and Shen Ji Yun solved the task without even fighting, he felt a bit dejected. "I haven't used it yet."

"Why?" Luo Jin asked, a bit confused.

"I was doing a hidden task and there was no opportunity to use it," Luo Yan answered, carefully omitting Shen Ji Yun in the picture. Because he knew how this kid would react to that.

"Why do you always encounter a hidden task?" Luo Jin said with a bit of complaint in his voice.

Luo Yan grinned at him. "Don't you know? It's because I'm lucky Luo Yan."

Luo Jin just rolled his eyes at him. "Let's just eat. I think the hunger is getting to your brain."

Luo Yan just laughed and told the nearby maid to serve them their lunch.

Shen Ji Yun put down the VR helmet on his bedside table and walked out of his room with an almost imperceptible smile on his face. Even though he wasn't able to help that much during the task that he and Luo Yan did, he no longer felt that bad. It's probably because he gained too much sweetness in the process. It was enough to fill his heart for a week. But he knew how greedy he was. After a day, he would come looking for that sweetness again. Sweetness that could only be given to him by his rabbit.

Ah, he suddenly couldn't wait to log into the game again. Especially since later, they would finally be going to Tropical Land!

He already secretly planned their itinerary. He just hoped that Luo Yan wouldn't notice his little calculations. And that they would quickly find that moon elf working at Tropical Land so the two of them could go to a lot of places in the said amusement park.

Shen Ji Yun climbed down the stairs and was about to go to the kitchen to cook lunch when he saw his uncle sitting on the living room, reading a book. He stopped because he didn't expect him to be at home.

Shen Yi Mu put down the book he was reading when he saw his nephew. "You finally left your room. I already ordered takeaway. Go and have lunch."

"I was actually planning to cook," Shen Ji Yun said.

"Don't worry, the food I ordered was not greasy. You will definitely like it," Shen Yi Mu said helplessly.

He knew how this nephew of his hated takeaways. It's one of the reasons why the other decided to learn to cook. He definitely could afford a nanny who could come here to cook food for them. But Ji Yun never liked having a stranger around the house. It was even worse when he was a kid. Shen Yi Mu tried once to hire an extra help but it only ended in disaster. So, he never tried it again. 

And so, during the early days of them living together, they simply lived off from takeaways. Yes, doing so made him a bit of a failure as a guardian.

Shen Ji Yun nodded. Then as if thinking of something, he asked, "You don't have to go to the company today?"

"No. I decided to take this week as a special vacation," Shen Yi Mu answered. "Since you also don't have school, why don't the two of us go somewhere?"

He only said that last part as a joke. Because knowing Ji Yun, he knew that the other would definitely refuse. But who could have thought that this nephew who always refused him whenever he asked if he wanted to go on a vacation would actually say;

"Okay. I want to go to Chengdu. Let's leave on Thursday and return on Saturday."

Shen Yi Mu had a question mark on his face when he heard that. Wait- did he actually hear that correctly? When he was about to ask Ji Yun, the other already walked to the dining area. 

He was left there wondering what kind of medicine his nephew had actually eaten for him to suddenly agree to him. And why Chengdu of all places? 

In the end, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and followed Ji Yun to the dining area. 

"Why do you suddenly want to go to Chengdu?" he asked.

Shen Ji Yun turned to his uncle and answered with no expression on his face, "I want to go and see a panda."

That answer only made Shen Yi Mu more baffled.
