Chapter 1097: COULD DO WONDERS |
"HOW can I not?" Luo Yan said, copying Luo Jin's tone of voice as well as his expression when he said that.
Luo Jin's whole face turned red. He turned to Luo Yan. "Can you please stop?"
The two of them were in Yuexing Pavilion, waiting for the others. Ever since that call from lunch, Luo Yan had been teasing him, copying that one line that he accidentally blurted out.
Ha, he and his big mouth. Why couldn't his brain work faster than his tongue? Every time he was overcome with emotion, he would just say the first thing that came to his mind. And every damn time, it would embarrass him to no end. It's even worse today because everyone witnessed it.
Now, he had to bear Luo Yan's teasing.
"What, I think it's very sweet," Luo Yan said with a smile. "If I was Sister Yuqi, I might as well agree to be your girlfriend at that moment."
"Sadly for me, it would take much more than that to make her fall," Luo Jin said with a wry smile.
Luo Yan looked at his brother and then remembered how the other and Su Yuqi interacted during that call. "Don't worry, Ah Jin. I think you stand a pretty good chance with her."
Luo Jin turned to Luo Yan, a bit surprised, and also very hopeful. "Do you really think so?"
That seemed to put Luo Jin in a pretty good mood. Even his embarrassment seemed to have vanished. "You really think so? That's not just you buttering me up, right?"
"Hey, why do I need to butter you up?" Luo Yan said, tapping Luo Jin's shoulder. "I'm just saying it as I see it. By the way, have you already confessed, at least?"
Luo Jin looked away, and with his cheeks blushing, he said, "I think so?"
Luo Yan raised a brow. "Why is there a question mark there?"
Luo Jin fiddled with his hands in uncertainty. "Well, I think I managed to clearly get my feelings across. It's just that Yuqi... nevermind."
He wanted to say that Su Yuqi had never really made things clear between them. After he confessed and became more open with his feelings for her, nothing had really changed with their relationship. Except for the fact that she now knew how he felt.
Despite that, he still knew that he was not in a position to complain. What if Su Yuqi was still trying to figure out her feelings for him? He had no right to rush her. He didn't want to be one of those impatient guys who constantly whined about their feelings and forced the person they supposed to like to return those feelings.
Besides, didn't he already told himself that he would wait no matter how long it took? Complaining to his brother about his relationship status, or lack thereof, was just petty and uncool.
Luo Yan observed Luo Jin's constant change in expression until the other just sighed at the end. He had some kind of inkling as to what Luo Jin might be thinking right now. So, as the older brother, he decided to give the other some unsolicited advice.
"You know, Ah Jin, a simple and straightforward 'I love you' could do wonders."
-----
Once all the members of team Yunyue arrived at Yuexing Pavilion, the farewell party for Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan finally started. Of course, it was a surprised for the two at first.
Since they had no idea that the whole team had prepared a surprise party for them, they weren't given permission to directly teleport into the building. Instead, they were picked up by one of the NPCs on the other side of the lake.
The two didn't think much at first. Since they had used this boat to go to the building on the other side, when they first decided to visit Yuexing Pavilion. But they didn't expect that the boat ride would actually take them around the lake, as if they were on tour.
They were confused at first. But when they saw the floating lotus shaped lights as the boat traveled around the lake, they finally felt that their juniors must be up to something.
Since that was the case, the two decided to just enjoy the view. After all, it would take a while before they saw this scene again. The lotus lights were particularly beautiful on this dark night, with only the moon and stars shining in the sky.
After the boat ride ended, a group of female NPCs wearing ancient costumes welcomed them into the pavilion. When they entered the building, they immediately noticed that there were no other guests inside.
The two looked at each other and communicated silently with their eyes;
'It seems like they prepared a farewell party for us.' - Wu Xiang Ye.
'Let's just enjoy this and appreciate their efforts.' - He Yu Lan.
The NPCs led them to the stage area. The tables that should have been there were currently missing. The only one there was a long table. The rest of team Yunyue was sitting around the table. Even the two dragons were there as well.
Bai Ze stood up when he spotted them. "Brother Xiang Ye! Brother Yu Lan here!"
The two walked over there and sat on the two empty seats that were positioned in the middle.
"You kids, you shouldn't have bothered with this," Wu Xiang Ye said with a helpless smile. But deep inside, he was truly happy that they prepared something like this for him and Yu Lan.
"Master said you're leaving. So, it's only right to give you a grand farewell party," Eclipse said.
Wu Xiang Ye laughed at that. Even He Yu Lan showed a small smile.
"Shall we start?" Luo Yan asked.
When everyone agreed, he snapped his fingers and all kinds of dishes suddenly filled the table. NPCs also appeared on the stage and started performing.
Team Yunyue spent the rest of the night eating, drinking, and enjoying all kinds of performances.
