Chapter 406 - MEETING THAT BLUE GAZE
THE Luo family had already finished eating lunch. They were just leisurely drinking tea and looking at the view outside. The private box they were also had a floor to ceiling window where they could see the view of Tianfu Square. Of course, it's not as good as the view in their suite. But it was enough for people to feel relaxed.
Then Luo Yan suddenly remembered that time he and his father went to an amusement park. Whenever they rode a thrilling ride like a roller coaster, every time their ride was about to fall from a tall height, his father's body would stiffen. Showing how uncomfortable he was. He probably wouldn't think of that particular memory if he hadn't gone to Tropical Land just two days ago.
He moved closer to his father who was sitting beside him and whispered, "Dad, are you not afraid of heights?"
He actually felt a bit guilty for not thinking of that sooner. Considering that their suite was at one of the top floors.
Luo Wei Tian was confused by his second son's sudden question. Even more so by his secretive way of asking, as if he didn't want his brothers to hear about it.
Seeing that his father didn't react and only looked confusedly at him, Luo Yan assumed that his question was probably a bit vague and came out of nowhere. So, he explained, still whispering, "When Dad and I went to an amusement park, I thought Dad was afraid of heights. We're in a high place with a full view of the outside. I'm worried that Dad will feel uncomfortable."
Luo Wei Tian finally understood his son's sudden question. Because of that, he also remembered how that day on the amusement park went. It was true that he was indeed uncomfortable when riding those overly thrilling rides. But it was not to the point of being afraid.
Luo Yan must have noticed how his body froze every time the ride they were on had to go down from a tall height in over the top speed. His son probably interpreted it as him having fear of heights. And now that they were in such a place, Luo Yan was reminded of that and couldn't help but worry about him.
Luo Wei Tian suddenly felt sweet in his heart. His Xiao Yan's presence was like having his own padded jacket, keeping his heart warm.
He thought of lying and saying that he was scared so he could get more care from Xiao Yan. But he immediately rejected the idea since he couldn't bear to see him worried.
"Xiao Yan, Dad is not afraid of heights. I'm just not use to riding such things that's why I had that kind of reaction," he patiently explained. Then he patted Xiao Yan's head gently. "Thank you for Xiao Yan's concern."
Luo Yan smiled. He was truly glad that his father was not being uncomfortable right now.
"What is Dad and Yan Yan whispering about?" Luo Ren asked, curiously looking at them.
"It's a secret between me and Xiao Yan," Luo Wei Tian proudly said as if he got one over Luo Ren.
Luo Ren only smiled gently and drank tea, thinking that their father was really getting more and more childish. It's fine, he could also have his own secret with Luo Yan. If someone had heard of his thoughts just now, they would definitely roll their eyes at him and tell him that he was equally as childish.
Which exactly what Luo Jin was thinking right now. He shook his head and just ignored this group of people.
"By the way, your Uncle Chen called me last night. He said Xiao Ye thought we would go and visit them at B City since it's a holiday again, just like what we did during the Mid-Autumn Festival. But they also had their own vacation plans. So, when they left yesterday to travel to Country R and Xiao Ye didn't see you, he kind of made a fuss and he'd been sulking since," Luo Wei Tian suddenly remembered. "He was hoping that you could call him."
Luo Yan immediately thought of his cute little cousin after he heard what his father said. After their visit in B City during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had been in contact with Bai Ye. Whenever he had time during the weekends, he would video call with the little kid.
Their video calls always helped him destress. How could he not when Bai Ye was so cute? Although he was indeed a bit spoiled, but it not that kind of spoiled that gets on everyone's nerves. It's that kind that one couldn't help but think that he's cute. But it's still not good to sulk and make a fuss every time he didn't get what he wanted. While he's still young, it's better to fix that or it would soon become a bad habit.
He knew that his uncle and auntie would definitely not allow that to happen. But it wouldn't hurt if he lent them a bit of help.
But what time would it be now at Country R?
"We're seven hours ahead of Country R," Luo Ren said as if reading his thoughts. "It's almost one in the afternoon now. So, it should be near six in the morning there. Xiao Ye is probably not still awake."
Luo Yan nodded. "Then, I'll call them later."
"Well, now that we've all rested, why don't we go through Chengdu's three historic alleys?" Luo Wei Tian suggested after a while.
Luo Yan glanced at his father and saw a rare excited look from the other. It seemed that his father had already planned this vacation's whole itinerary. Even Luo Yan just haphazardly mentioned Chengdu because he didn't want to go outside the country for vacation, his father still put an effort to make sure that this would be a good vacation for their family.
Luo Yan would definitely not put his effort to waste.
"Okay, let's go there, Dad!" he said, full enthusiasm.
Luo Ren and Luo Jin also had no objection with that.
The four of them left the restaurant where they had lunch. They were about to walk towards the elevator when the other elevator on the side opened and a tall young man walked out.
Luo Yan coincidentally glanced at the young man's direction and his gaze met with a pair of cold blue eyes. His feet automatically stopped walking and he stared unbelieving at the other person.
"Brother Ji Yun?"
