LUO YAN woke up feeling all refreshed. He fell asleep rather early last night. He thought that he could still exchanged messages with Shen Ji Yun before the other logged into the game again. But after having dinner and washing up, the moment he laid down on his comfy bed, he immediately fell asleep.
He was probably much more mentally tired than he realized. It’s like something in front of the computer for hours and only standing up when they really needed to. He should pace himself properly next time.
He wondered if Shen Ji Yun and Dusk managed to successfully plant all the bombs last night. After that embarrassing interlude because of Eclipse, the black dragon walked to the deck and told them that he would go with Shen Ji Yun.
If this was before, he might be worrying if the two could get along with each other. But after the obvious breakdown that Dusk had, he was more worried if the other would be stable enough to do this task.
Then again, Shen Ji Yun was there. So, there’s probably nothing to worry about. Hopefully.
Luo Yan stood up and went to his bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Then, he proceeded on doing his usual morning exercises. After that, he rested for about 20 minutes before showering. He then went to his walk-in closet to change to comfortable home clothes.
He was about to go out when his eyes landed on the measuring scale. He suddenly remembered that it was more than two weeks ago since he last measured his height. He wondered if he grew taller again. Because of the many things happening these past two weeks, he hadn’t really noticed. But he hoped that he did. Even a centimeter would make him happy.
When he measured his height, his eyes widened a bit when he saw the result. Because he grew another two centimeters! Now, he’s officially 158 centimeters!
He now firmly believed that this body was currently experiencing a growth spurt. Although it’s a bit weird that he didn’t feel his joints aching like he did in his past life. But maybe one of these days he would indeed feel it. No matter the case, he’s just happy that he’s finally growing.
With his mood lifted up, he went out of his room to have breakfast with his family.
The only one there currently was his father, reading a newspaper as he usually did every morning. He quickly walked to his side and greeted him.
"Good morning, Dad!"
Luo Wei Tian put down the newspaper he was holding and looked at his son. "Good morning, Xiao Yan."
Luo Yan sat down on his usual seat. "Guess what, Dad? I grew another 2 cm again!"
"Really? That’s great," Luo Wei Tian said, truly happy for Luo Yan. Because he knew how much this son of his wanted to grow taller. "Should we order another set of uniform?"
Ah, that’s right, Luo Yan almost forgot about that. "No, it’s okay. Let’s wait for another two weeks, maybe I would grow another 2 cm."
He only got his new uniform almost two weeks ago. Changing it again now seemed a bit too wasteful. Although their family could certainly afford a hundred sets of school uniform, buying a new one every time he grew a centimeter or two was like throwing money at every turn.
"But wouldn’t it be too uncomfortable?" his father asked, clearly worried.
Luo Yan smiled. "It’s okay, Dad. As soon as I feel that the uniform is too tight for me, I will order a new set."
Luo Wei Tian saw that his son had already made up his mind, so, he no longer insisted.
Soon, Luo Ren and Luo Jin also arrived at the dining table and the whole family started eating their breakfast.
"By the way, since all of us are at home today, why don’t we all go somewhere?" Luo Wei Tian suggested after a while.
"I think that’s a good idea," Luo Ren agreed.
"I have no opinion," Luo Jin said, his own way of saying that he would follow whatever decision made.
Then, the three simultaneously looked at Luo Yan. Waiting for his answer.
Luo Yan felt a bit cramped inside. Because he couldn’t immediately say ’yes’. He had to log into the game this morning. Although, he said that they would finish this hidden task by this morning, there might be some unknown factor that might prevent them from doing that.
"Sorry, Dad. I- ahm, I have a prior appointment with someone in Arcadia, you know, the game I’ve been playing. And I really can’t postpone that," he said with an apologetic tone.
Both Luo Ren and Luo Jin furrowed their brows, obviously knowing who this ’someone’ might be. Their thoughts were not even far afar from each other.
[That guy is really getting good at abducting my brother.] – Luo Ren.
[Are they still not finished with that hidden task? Why do I feel like that guy was purposely prolonging it just so he could spend more time with Yan?] – Luo Jin.
Of course, the two didn’t voice out those opinions. After all, they still had that promise of not getting in the way of their brother’s love life.
Luo Wei Tian actually thought of the same person when Luo Yan mentioned this ’someone’ he had a prior appointment with. But with completely different reasons from his other two sons.
"Is it Xiao Yun?" he asked.
Luo Yan felt a loud thud in his chest when he heard his father mentioning Shen Ji Yun. But he calmed himself when he saw that his father just genuinely asking a question without any intent behind it. When he realized that, he felt relieved and a bit guilty as well.
But what could he do? Although he had already confessed to his brothers, he’s still not ready to do the same with their father.
So, he could only smile and said, "Yes, he’s actually helping me with a game task that I have to finish today."
Luo Wei Tian nodded in understanding. Although he’s a bit disappointed that they couldn’t go somewhere with the four of them, he also understood that Luo Yan made this appointment first.
"It’s really good of him to help you," he could only say.
Both Luo Ren and Luo Jin almost rolled their eyes and said in their heart – [If you only know, Dad.]
