Chapter 421 - ANOTHER WINGMAN

LUO YAN felt incredibly fulfilled. His phone now had hundreds of photos of pandas in different cute positions. It seemed like no matter what the pandas did, they would always look cute. They could roll around the mud, have bamboo leaves sticking on their mouth, lay on the ground doing nothing, and they would still look cute. Heck, they would probably still look cute while pooping.

There were still 20 minutes left before the time his father reserved the base ended. Luo Yan really wanted to take a photo with a panda. But it was not allowed. And he also didn't want to be that unreasonable spoiled kid who would insist on what he wanted even though it's clearly not allowed.

But that's okay. He could still take pictures with the pandas as background.

Seeing a panda at a distance, he turned to his older brother who was nearest to him. "Brother, can you take a picture of me?"

Luo Ren smiled gently. "Sure."

Luo Yan gave his phone to Luo Ren. His older brother raised the camera and he made a cute pose, shaping his two hands into a heart shape. As if he was about to release a heart beam. The rest of the people seemed to be hit by this heart beam sprinkled with cuteness.

Despite also being hit, Luo Ren still quickly captured this scene.

"Brother, one more." Luo Yan looked back at the panda. Then he raised his hand slightly as if he was holding something. Before turning his gaze back to his brother and asking, "Does it look like the panda was standing on my palm?"

Luo Ren looked at the camera of the phone and there was indeed an illusion that the panda behind was standing on his brother's palm. "Just lower your hand a bit." 

Luo Yan did as he was told. "Is this okay?"

Luo Ren nodded. "Then I'll take the picture."

Hearing that, Luo Yan showed a shock expression in front of the camera phone. As if he was surprised that there was a small panda on top of his palm. Luo Ren dutifully took this photo.

Shen Ji Yun, who was diligently watching on the side, also secretly took a photo. In fact, this was not the only photo he secretly took. With how stealthily he took these photos, he wouldn't realize that he probably had a talent to be a paparazzi. 

But little did he know that all his small actions were seen by his ever-observant uncle. 

After more than an hour of observation, Shen Yi Mu had a full understanding of the extent of his nephew's lovesickness. It seemed that Ji Yun didn't simply like Luo Yan, he probably had already fallen in love with the boy.

He looked at Luo Yan who was still making cute poses. Well, the boy certainly had the charms to attract people to him. He was like a bright sun, always dazzling. Making people want to get close. That's probably the main reason why Ji Yun became attracted to him. 

Even though his nephew never talked about the events that led to him being his guardian – the death of his father and the mental breakdown of his mother. But Shen Yi Mu knew just how much that affected Ji Yun. He turned from a sunny kid to a boy who couldn't even smile. It reached a point where he couldn't even properly form the corresponding facial expression to the emotion he was feeling.

Shen Yi Mu had long learned Ji Yun's different nuances and body language. That's why even if the other couldn't properly express his emotion, Shen Yi Mu could still tell what his nephew was feeling. But from last night to this morning, he actually saw a variation of expressions on Ji Yun's face. Albeit small and barely noticeable, it was there. And it was all brought by Luo Yan.

That was enough to show how deep Ji Yun had truly fallen for the boy. 

He looked again at the boy and saw him pulling his younger brother over for a picture together.

"Yan, stop pulling me," Luo Jin complained but still allowed his brother to pull him over.

"Come on, Ah Jin, show a cute pose. Just like this," Luo Yan teased then made a peace sign.

Luo Jin quickly showed a disgusted expression. "There's no way I will do something so childish."

Luo Yan acted hurt. "Are you saying your brother is childish?"

Luo Jin knew that his second brother was only acting. Using his wiles to let him do his bidding. Again. But even though he knew that, he still couldn't bear to see that hurt expression. 

So, he reluctantly raised his hand and made a peace sign. His face barely had any expression.

Luo Yan happily hugged Luo Jin's arm and also made a peace sign. Then he smiled at the camera.

Luo Ren chuckled seeing the antics of his two brothers. After taking a picture of the two, he turned to their father. "Dad, can you take a picture of the three of us?"

Before Luo Wei Tian could answer, Luo Ren had already stuffed Luo Yan's phone to him. Then Luo Ren ran to his two brothers and put his arms on the shoulders of both.

Although surprised, Luo Wei Tian still took a photo of the three. He looked at his three sons who were happily smiling at the camera. His heart was filled with happiness. But a drop of bitterness still spread through it. 

[Hua-er, are you seeing this? Our sons, they have all grown up. How I wish you are by our side right now. By my side, sharing this happiness.]

Another person who was feeling nostalgic and a tad bit sad was Shen Yi Mu. Seeing the three Luo brothers getting along so closely, it reminded him of his deceased brother – Ji Yun's father. President Luo did a good job raising his sons.

He glanced at his nephew who happened to be also looking at the three. There was an envious glint in his eyes. With how his nephew's brain circuit had been working recently, he was sure that Ji Yun probably wanted to also have a photo with Luo Yan.

He sighed. 

"Xiao Yan, can you also take a picture with Ji Yun?" he called when he saw that the three brothers finally stopped taking pictures together. "We rarely go out for vacation. The picture of you two could serve as a souvenir of some sorts."

Shen Ji Yun was surprised by what his uncle said. Then he turned to Luo Yan's direction and their eyes met. 

Even at a distance, Luo Yan could see the enthusiasm in those blue eyes. As if silently telling him, 'I want to take a picture together!'. He smiled at how adorable Shen Ji Yun looked.

Before his two brothers could complain, he rushed forward – towards Shen Ji Yun's direction. The other was already walking towards him so it didn't really take that long. 

Luo Yan stood beside him and struck a pose. Raising his hands and making finger heart signs. He raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun. "You too, Brother Ji Yun."

Shen Ji Yun's expression cracked a bit. But he still awkwardly raised his hand and copied Luo Yan's gesture.

Shen Yi Mu resisted the urge to laugh and took a picture of the two. Despite the slightly awkward expression, happiness still radiated from his nephew. 

He just realized, he probably could have a career on being a wing-man.
