Chapter 952: AH JIN, THE 'LOSER'
INSIDE the entertainment room, Luo Yan and Luo Jin were playing a racing game. Luo Yan was very relaxed, while Luo Jin was moving his whole body. Whenever the latter turned the controller he's holding to the left, his whole body would also turn to the left. And it was the same whenever he turned it to the right.
It was quite funny, really. If Luo Yan wasn't playing against him, he might have already laughed out loud at this second. But since they were playing against each other, the other's weird playing style only served as a distraction.
That's why he tried his best not to look at Luo Jin's side. He didn't want to lose after all.
And as expected, despite Luo Jin using his whole body to win, Luo Yan was still the winner.
"One more time!" Luo Jin quickly said with a reddened face, most likely from too much excitement and frustration.
"Eh… I'm tired. This is already the third round and also my third win, I'm already exhausted," Luo Yan said. He had a feeling that if he didn't put a stop to this now, Luo Jin would continue to ask for a rematch. He turned to Yu Jiao, who was silently eating snacks while watching them. "How about you, Yu Jiao? Do you want to play one game with Ah Jin?"
"Oh, okay."
Yu Jiao put down the cookie she was eating and accepted the controller Luo Yan gave her. She actually also wanted to try playing, but she felt a bit shy asking. She's happy that Luo Yan took the initiative to ask her.

Just a few minutes after that, the words 'Game Over' appeared on the screen. And yes, Luo Jin lost again.
Luo Jin's whole face turned red. He almost looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. That description was indeed correct, since he was on verge of cursing to let out all his pent up frustration. When he was really about to curse, a piece of cookie was suddenly shoved to his mouth.
The shock made his irritation subside greatly. He looked at the culprit.
"Calm down, Ah Jin," Luo Yan said with a smile.
Luo Jin ate the cookie in one bite. Then, he turned to Yu Jiao. "Let's play again!"
Yu Jiao smiled awkwardly. It's because she didn't really want to play with the other again. She won too easily so it wasn't really fun. If she had to play again, she rather play against Luo Yan. But saying that out loud was a bit…
"How about we play another game?" Luo Yan said, saving Yu Jiao from answering. "Ah Jin clearly sucks at this kind of game. Wouldn't it be better to pick something you're good at instead?"
Luo Jin appeared pensive, as if he was truly considering if that would be better. It really didn't take that long before he agreed to Luo Yan's suggestion.
They played from fighting games to FPS games. But there was only one outcome from each one. Luo Jin always lost.
When he lost again for the nth time, Luo Jin almost threw the controller he was holding. Then, he suddenly thought of something.
"Isn't there a problem with this controller?" he said.
Yes, that's right. If it wasn't broken, then how come all the characters he chose in the games they played almost always didn't follow the instructions he pressed on the controller. If it's not broken, then what else could it be?
His brother, being the annoying brother that he was, gave him an alternative answer to his question. And he didn't like it at all.
"Ah Jin, let's just admit that you don't have the talent for this," Luo Yan said, looking at him as if he was some kind of pitiful child.
Before Luo Jin could react, they suddenly heard a snort from behind. The both of them looked back and saw Yu Jiao's reddened face. The other was obviously trying to hold back her laughter.
Seeing this, Luo Jin sighed and just said in a tone that had already given up, "It's fine. You can laugh. What Yan said is true anyway."
"Ah Jin, is that really you?" Luo Yan said with a gasp. "Admitting it so easily like that, our Ah Jin is really turning into a fine young man. Your older brother is so proud of you," he added, wiping non-existent tears to add to the dramatic effect.

At that, Yu Jiao couldn't finally hold back her laughter and just simply laughed out loud. Really, spending time with these two was always so much fun.
After playing some more games, Luo Yan thought of something and asked Yu Jiao;
"Oh right, Jiao Jiao, your birthday is almost here, do you have any plans?"
It's two weeks from now, to be exact. Since it would fall on a weekday and they had classes, what they could do was pretty limited. Of course, moving the celebration on the weekend was also an option.
Yu Jiao didn't expect that question from Luo Yan. Mostly because she had almost forgotten that her birthday was already near. That's why she hadn't really thought of anything that she would do on that day.
If it was up to her, there's really no need to prepare anything. She would be happy as long as the people she cared about wished her a happy birthday. But knowing her mother, the other would probably cook a special dinner for her.
"Probably just a simple dinner at our apartment," she said. "And, ahm, I would be really happy if Yan Yan and Luo Jin could also join us."
"Of course, we will!" Luo Yan quickly said. "Right, Ah Jin?"
Luo Jin nodded, secretly wondering how their older brother would manage to worm his way into that dinner invitation.

Days passed quickly and it was now only three days away from Yu Jiao's birthday. And a certain someone was still having trouble 'worming' his way into that dinner invitation.
