SHEN JI YUN looked outside the window of the taxi. When he found out that Luo Yan and his family were going to go to Chengdu for vacation, he then asked his uncle if they could also go on a vacation there. After he agreed, he volunteered to book a hotel for them. And he chose the Crowning Glory Hotel.
He specifically chose that said hotel. There’s only one reason why. Because the hotel was one of the industries under Tianhua Group. If Luo Yan and his family would stay at Chengdu for three days and two nights, then there’s a high probability that they would choose Crowning Glory Hotel to stay in. So, he also chose it. Because that would increase the chance of him meeting Luo Yan.
He kind of cringed at his own thought process. Because even he, himself, felt like he’s some kind of stalker. If there was no such thing as Arcadia where he could meet his rabbit, albeit virtually, he probably would really run to S City just so he could see him. Then that certainly would make him a stalker.
He would have never imagined that falling in love would make him develop some kind of stalker tendency. It’s so embarrassing that he even wanted to punch himself just so he could have some sense. It’s even more shameful that he was using his uncle as a ploy to make his meeting with Luo Yan as some kind of coincidence. After all, with his uncle’s presence, it would seem like he was also there for a family vacation. Only he knew that he had an ulterior motive.
And his poor uncle still had no idea that he was being used. He looked so guilty earlier when he said he had to deal with something at thepany and he probably couldn’t make it to the time of their flight. Being the shameless guy that he was, Shen Ji Yun didn’t care much and just said that he would go ahead on his own.
Logically speaking, he knew that his behavior was all sorts of wrong. But his brain just simply turned off the moment he knew that there was a chance that he could meet Luo Yan in real life. Now he fully understood what he read online that said that ’love had no logic’. Because that certainly applied to him at this very moment.
He just hoped that his rabbit wouldn’t be scared away of his behavior the moment he found out that he had been doing things like this. He’d be happy as long as he didn’t think of him as a creep.
No, before that, he should probably worry first how he would interact with Luo Yan’s family once he met them. He had already met them almost a month ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He acted quite normal back then. But only because he hadn’t yet realized his feelings. But now, it waspletely different.
He had seen how Luo Yan’s family treat the other like a treasure. And rightfully so if he might add. Their reaction to him chasing after their treasure would definitely be not good. Luo Jin was already suspecting him and the older brother was also not some simple character. Thest time, he could already feel that Luo Ren didn’t really have any good feeling towards him.
Surprisingly enough, the only one who was a bit weing towards him was Luo Yan’s father. Maybe he should just work on giving Uncle Luo a good impression. After all, that Luo Jin was already a loss cause. And for some reason, he found it hard to deal with Luo Ren.
His brain kept on thinking of different strategies when his WeChat notification sounded. He took his phone out and saw that it was a message from his uncle.
[Uncle Yi Mu]: I already finished the matters here. I’ll probably arrive there at five in the afternoon. Are you already at the hotel?
[luckycloud]: Not yet but I’m already on the way.
After a few exchanges, Shen Ji Yun returned his phone to his pocket. He looked again outside the window and he could already see the tall skyscraper at the distance. He knew that it was the building of the Crowning Glory Hotel.
At the thought of seeing his rabbit again, his hearth unknowingly started beating faster and faster.
"Yan Yan, don’t overeat. That much spicy food is not good for your stomach," Luo Ren said while wiping Luo Yan’s mouth that had chili oil.
"But Brother, it’s so delicious," Luo Yan said, his face full of unwillingness.
How could he not be unwilling? On their table were delicious Sichuan dishes – Ma Po tofu, fish vored shredded pork, sliced fish in hot chili oil, diced chicken with chili, etc. Of course, there were also Cantonese dishes. Which his older brother probably ordered for him. Although delicious, he had no interest in those.
They were in S Province, it’s only right to eat Sichuan dishes. It’s almost a sin not to.
"Yan, don’t be stubborn. Your stomach is still delicate. If you eat too much spicy food, you’ll definitely end up with a stomachache," Luo Jin scolded.
Of course, Luo Yan understood that. Even now, he could feel his stomach heating up. And not in a good way. Now, he kind of wished that he was in the virtual world. At least there he could eat whatever he wanted. He wondered just when would this body be back to its full health.
He reluctantly put down his chopstick and said with a crestfallen expression, "Okay."
The people around himpletely felt distressed seeing him like that. They almost picked a dish and put it in front of Luo Yan, telling him that he could eat whatever he wanted. But they all stopped themselves. Because this was for his health. No matter how much they spoiled him, they couldn’t back down when it came to that.
So, their strengthened their resolve. But at the end, they still couldn’t bear it.
Luo Wei Tian put a small dumpling on Luo Yan’s te. "Here, Xiao Yan, you can eat this."
Luo Ren also pushed a small egg tart. "It’s also fine to eat this."
Even Luo Jin poured him a cup of tea which he added milk to. "Drink this."
Seeing their attentiveness, Luo Yan immediately felt happy again. "Thank you! I also want to give something to Dad, Brother, and Ah Jin."
"What is it?" Luo Wei Tian excitedly asked.
Luo Yan put his hand on his pocket as if he was about to take something out. Then he raised his hand and his thumb and forefinger made a small finger heart. "Love you!"
Luo Wei Tian just felt like his heart had been pierced by an arrow because of his son’s cuteness. "Dad loves Xiao Yan as well."
Luo Ren, on the other hand, quickly raised his phone to capture this scene of his brother’s cuteness. "I like this kind of gift."
While Luo Jin snorted, but if one looked closely, they could see his ear tips turning red. A sign of him being embarrassed. "What are you, five?"
Luo Yan only grinned and ate the food the three gave him.
