Chapter 842: LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
Chapter 842: LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
LUO YAN entered the mansion with spring in his footsteps, showing just how much of a good mood he was in. The reason was simple, really. It’s because tomorrow, he would finally be an adult! No, not really tomorrow but just about seven hours from now.
Although he had long been an adult inside, his body was still that of a minor. He was still limited by a lot of things. But once he became an official adult, those limitations could no longer be put on him.
Not that he was saying that he would go crazy and go to bars and things like that. He was just happy to gain more freedom. But the most important thing of all was – it would no longer be a problem if he entered into a romantic relationship.
Of course, this didn’t mean that he would just directly go and confess to Shen Ji Yun. He wanted the other to be the first one to do it. He wanted to see Shen Ji Yun gather up all his courage to tell him what he’s feeling. It’s probably his evil side talking, but was it really that bad to hope that the person you liked confessed his feelings to you first?
Luo Yan didn’t think so. It might be fueled by his narcissism. But what’s wrong with wanting to see the people you like showed how much they liked you? Wouldn’t anyone want to feel just how much they were loved by the people special to them? But this attitude of his could probably leave a bad taste in some people’s mouth.
He shrugged. Oh well. At least he’s not being hypocritical in what he wanted.
“Third young master, there’s a number of parcels that came for you today,” their housekeeper, Auntie Cheng said when he entered the house. “It must be gifts for the young master’s birthday. I put all the parcels in young master’s room.”
“Thank you, Auntie Cheng!” Luo Yan said with a smile.
“Oh, there’s actually one that had to be put in the refrigerator first,” Auntie Cheng added.
Hearing that, Luo Yan immediately knew who it was from. It’s definitely from Shen Ji Yun! Didn’t the other also send him baked goods last time?
He quickly ran towards the kitchen.
Luo Jin, who was walking just behind, saw this scene. He snorted. If Luo Yan could guess who it was from, then so could he. Just look at his brother’s reaction. If he didn’t even manage to guess that, then he should say goodbye to his IQ.
But he didn’t bother to follow the other. Since he made that promise with Luo Yan, he had been trying his best to not antagonize the relationship between the other and Shen Ji Yun. Besides, tomorrow was his brother’s birthday. He wasn’t so cheeky as to ruin the other’s mood just because he was annoyed at Shen Ji Yun.
And so, the ‘understanding’ younger brother just went to his room.
Luo Yan, on the other hand, had already reached the kitchen. The first thing he did was to open the refrigerator. He immediately saw what he’s looking for. It was a white box surrounded by a red ribbon. He took it out and carefully placed it on the bar counter.
He looked for a card attached to the box but there wasn’t one. This box should have been put in a special container to be able to reach S City without the content being destroyed. After all, the distance between the two cities was not exactly one car ride away.
Luo Yan finally untied the red ribbon and took off the cover of the box. What was revealed to him was a rabbit shaped cake. It was not some hyper-realistic cake. But instead, it was more like a cutesy type. It looked like My Melody from Sanrio minus the pink hat.
There’s only one thought in his mind after seeing it – ‘how cute!’.
Inside, he finally saw a card. He picked it up and read it.
[I hope you can enjoy this cake I made on your birthday. P.S. I know this is a bit much to ask, but can you look out of the window of your room at 12 midnight? – Ji Yun.]
When Luo Yan read the first part, he immediately imagined Shen Ji Yun wearing an apron while baking this cute cake. Flour and cream on his face. Ah, how adorable. He wished he could have seen it in real-time.
But when he read the ‘PS’ part, he couldn’t help but raise his brow. Why did he have to look out of his room window at 12 midnight? The only thing special at that time would be his birthday.
Wait- this guy wouldn’t possibly suddenly appeared in front of his window later, right? No, even he thought that was crazy. Not only would the other be trespassing at a private property, the behavior was totally criminal. Although there was that Chengdu incident, that was definitely not too much compared to suddenly appearing in his home.
Besides, the two of them already had a talk regarding such behavior. Instead of thinking it as romantic, Luo Yan might just find it creepy. Although he would probably only think that for a few seconds. But still. He didn’t want to have that kind of opinion about the guy he liked.
He covered the cute cake, tied it, and carefully put it back in the refrigerator. Before that he had already took out the card. He would share the cake with everyone tomorrow. Then, he put a sticky note on the box, telling everyone that they shouldn’t open it.
He stopped thinking of what might happen later at 12 midnight. He would just simply go and open the window.
He actually wanted to call Shen Ji Yun and ask the other about it. But wouldn’t the surprise be spoiled if he did? So, he chose not to do it at the end.
And just like that, hours passed and midnight came.
It was finally Luo Yan’s birthday!
