The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN sighed in satisfaction as he hugged Shen Ji Yun's waist. This feeling of warmth could only be felt if real life. It's been more than a month since the two of them hugged like this. It was only now that he realized just how much he missed it. Although he was glad that the two of them could meet inside the game, interacting with each other like this was still better.

So, he put his head on the crook of Shen Ji Yun's neck, breathing in the other's scent. "You smell so good, Brother Ji Yun."

At this time, Shen Ji Yun had completely frozen. He already didn't expect Luo Yan to suddenly hug him like this, so he was completely taken aback. He didn't even know where he should put his hands. Before he could even do anything, Luo Yan just breathed into his neck and said that.

Feeling Luo Yan's soft breath on his skin simply took his breath away. The warmth and intimacy of that breath, so close to his skin, sent shivers down his spine and made his heart race.

If earlier, he didn't know what to do with his hands, now, as if it just came naturally, his arms circled around Luo Yan.

"I missed you, Yan Yan," he found himself saying, kissing the top of the other's head.

"I missed you too, Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan replied softly.

As they held each other close, the world around them faded away, and all that remained was the gentle rhythm of their breathing and the beating of their hearts. For a moment, time stood still, and they knew that they were exactly where they were meant to be.

Of course, what followed next was not the continuation of this sweet moment, but instead someone clearing their throat.

"Ahem, I don't want to disturb the two of you, but I think it would be better to continue inside the house."

Hearing Uncle Yue's voice, Shen Ji Yun finally came back to his senses. Because of how much he enjoyed Luo Yan's hug, he had totally forgotten that Uncle Yue was still here. Realizing that the other saw what just happened, his whole face heated up. To the point that it felt like smoke would come out at the top of his head.

Jiang Yue, seeing this, almost laughed. But he held himself back. It's bad enough that he 'intruded' at the sweet moment of the two, if he laughed here, it would definitely be more awkward that it already was.

Truthfully, he also didn't want to disturb the two. But the thing was, they were standing in front of the door. So, even if he wanted to just quietly leave and let them have their romantic time, he couldn't. That's why before they start doing something that would truly embarrass them all, he decided to remind them of his presence.

Luo Yan raised his head. When he saw Shen Ji Yun's flushed face, he knew that the other's brain was probably on overdrive right now. Most likely from the combination of their skinship and the embarrassment of having Teacher Jiang seeing it all.

Since Luo Yan wasn't generally a shy person, it didn't affect him that much. So, he decided to help out the other and just let go of his waist. Then, he turned to Teacher Jiang and said;

"Sorry, Teacher Jiang. You're probably surprised seeing us like that."

When he said that, he acted all shy and demure, as if he wasn't just eating Shen Ji Yun's tofu just earlier.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yue felt amused. Although the other looked like the definition of a delicate and shy flower, he could see that he was not a bit shy at all. In fact, between the two, Xiao Yun should probably be the one called 'delicate and shy flower'.

It was a very... interesting dynamic.

He smiled and said, "What's there to be sorry for? And Xiao Yan, I thought you already decided to address me as 'uncle'? Is it because we hadn't seen each other recently that you have already forgotten?"

Jiang Yue decided to change the topic to alleviate the embarrassment that Shen Ji Yun was feeling. Anyway, it was a genuine question on his part since he remembered that the last time they met, Luo Yan didn't hesitate to call him 'Uncle Yue'. But then again, he wasn't any better since he almost called the other 'young master' earlier.

Well, that couldn't be helped since the two of them weren't really that close. At least, not yet. But when he saw the interaction between Luo Yan and Xiao Yun up close, the tiny bit of awkwardness he felt while interacting with the other just vanished.

Probably because he saw that Luo Yan truly had genuine feelings for Xiao Yun and not just something temporary. That he did not enter into a relationship with Xiao Yun out of curiosity. He could clearly see that between the two, Luo Yan was the one leading in this relationship.

Luo Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek. He truly forgot, actually. It was because he was so busy with a lot of things – training, studying, etc. – that he forgot he and Teacher—no, Uncle Yue were no longer that much of a stranger.

"Uncle Yue," he said, calling the other sweetly.

Jiang Yue smiled, feeling satisfied.

Shen Ji Yun, who was no longer a frozen snowman with a red face, looked at the two. Seeing how natural they smiled with each other, the corner of his lips also couldn't help but turn up.

How happy he would be if the two became close. After all, the two of them would also be family in the future.

"Ah... is the meeting actually in front of the door way?" a woman's voice suddenly said in a dry tone.

They all looked towards the direction it came from and saw a tall young woman with a shoulder-length dark-red hair, wearing leather jacket, leather pants, and knee-high boots.

It was Su Yuqi.
