The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)

IT had been two weeks since the start of Arcadia Cup. Team Yunyue had fought four matches at that time. Of course, they won all of it. Aside from them, the only one who still hadn't lost in their block was team Sanguis.

Both of them had four wins and zero losses. A lot of people had already predicted that these two teams would be the ones advancing to the final tournament from their block. The only question would be who would have more wins between the two. Which could probably be answered once the two fought against each other.

It was the most anticipated match, not only in their block but also in the whole qualifiers. There was even a wager going on among the players of Arcadia on who would win once the two teams fought.

But right now, those things were not any of Luo Yan's worries. Because right now, there's only one thing on his mind.

Shen Ji Yun's birthday.

That's right. It would be Shen Ji Yun's birthday in a week. He had already planned what to gift the other as early as two months ago. He ordered a customized watch. It's a high-end brand that had a lot of stores all over the country. So, he requested to pick up the watch at the store here in B City. Because he knew by the time it's done, he would be here instead of at S City.

Now, here's the problem. He was supposed to pick up the watch tomorrow, but the store called him today and told him that there had been a problem and he had to wait four-five days before he could get the watch. Which was cutting it pretty close to Shen Ji Yun's birthday.

Another problem was Luo Yan hadn't yet decided what kind of surprise he should give the other. Since Shen Ji Yun confessed on his birthday in a stealthy and yet still very romantic way, he should at least do something that was as equally romantic.

But considering how busy they were with the matches and the training, he couldn't really find the time to prepare anything. Although, he already had an idea of what he should do. What he just needed was time and a bit of help, maybe from Luo Jin. As long as that brother of his wouldn't act like a stubborn tsundere when he asked him for help.

Their team would have two more matches this week. He just needed to find time in between those matches to prepare. The most important part here was to make sure that Shen Ji Yun wouldn't notice anything. He wanted it to be a surprise, after all.

Now, he should he ask his taciturn brother for help? No, maybe it's better to ask the others instead just to make sure. Like Bai Ze and Su Yuqi, and oh, Uncle Yi Mu and Uncle Yue as well.

It would definitely be more fun with everyone. Of course, he would make sure to spend quality time alone with Shen Ji Yun after.

Luo Yan picked up his phone that was on the bedside table and called Uncle Yi Mu.

"Brother Mu, it's Xiao Yun's birthday next week. What's our plan?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Asking about Ji Yun the moment you open your eyes, although I love my nephew, I can't help but be jealous," Shen Yi Mu said, hugging Jiang Yue and kissing the top of his head.

Jiang Yue blushed and playfully slapped Shen Yi Mu's arm. "Brother Mu, I'm asking a serious question here."

"Hmm... we can do a surprise party here or at some restaurant. But knowing Ji Yun, he'd probably prefer a birthday party here. Let's invite his friends and also Ah Cheng."

Jiang Yue agreed with that idea. "Should it be a day party or a night party?"

"Ji Yun would probably prefer a day one. He'd most likely prefer to spend the night with Xiao Yan."

At the mention of Xiao Yan, Jiang Yue suddenly remembered when the other spent the night here. Although the two young people probably thought they're being careful, he still noticed how Xiao Yun slipped in the guest room. Most likely doing this and that with Xiao Yan.

He didn't say anything since he trusted that Xiao Yun would do the responsible thing and leave the room after doing... this and that. And if the other became too engrossed with what he's doing and follow his hormones, Jiang Yue was ready to do some intervention.

Thankfully enough, Xiao Yun was indeed a responsible young man and left the room Xiao Yan was staying in.

Thinking of what Shen Yi Mu said about the two wanting to spend the night of Xiao Yun's birthday together, he nodded and agreed. Since Xiao Yun had already proven how responsible he could be, then he wouldn't be the killjoy here and stop them to be together.

At the middle of his thoughts, a loud phone call sound rang.

"I think it's yours, Brother Mu," he said.

Shen Yi Mu groaned and reached for his phone on the bedside table. When he saw the name of the caller, he raised his brow. He sat up and answered the call.

"Xiao Yan, good morning," he greeted first.

"Good morning, Uncle Yi Mu. Sorry for calling so early in the morning," Luo Yan, on the other line, said.

"It's fine. Is something the matter?" Shen Yi Mu shrugged, asking the other instead.

"Ahm, it's about Brother Ji Yun's upcoming birthday. I'm thinking of having a surprise birthday party for him. Would doing it at your house be alright?"

Shen Yi Mu fell silent for a moment, then he chuckled. The kid's question was very timely. Weren't he and Ah Yue just discussing this?

"Of course, it's alright. But if you want it to be a surprise, then you should think of a way to make sure that Ji Yun wouldn't notice anything, so it will be effective."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yi Mu, just leave it to me."

For some reason, Shen Yi Mu could hear the smile in the other's voice.
