AFTER 20 minutes of walking around Kuan Alley, Luo Yan and the others decided to go to one of the teahouses scattered around the alley to rest. If there’s one thing Chengdu was famous for aside from the pandas, then it’s tea.
S Province was one of the country’s major tea-producing regions. There was even an old proverb saying that, ’there was more teahouses in S Province than sunny days’. Showing just how common teahouses were in the region. Of course, that also included Chengdu.
The teahouses in Kuan Alley were usually in the form of a courtyard. Luo Wei Tian had already picked the teahouse that they would go to as early as when Xiao Yan told him that he wanted to go to Chengdu. His assistant helped a lot in that. With Assistant Wen’s help, he chose a traditional teahouse with a good ambience and only served high grade teas.
Luo Yan looked at the teahouse in front of them. He could already feel the historic vibe of the place. Like it had been here for a hundred years or something. He was about to walk inside when he noticed the sign on the side of the door. It said ’Ye Yun’. He was a bit startled when he read that. Because the two characters that made up the name directly translate to ’Night Cloud’.
He couldn’t resist the urge to look back at Shen Ji Yun. The other was staring at the sign. He was planning to tease him when he saw Shen Ji Yun taking out his phone and raising it in the direction of the sign. He was obviously taking a picture of it!
"The shop has a good name, right, Brother Ji Yun?" he said with a bit of teasing in his tone.
Shen Ji Yun almost dropped his phone when he heard Luo Yan’s voice. He guiltily put it back in the pocket of the trench coat he was wearing. When he saw the sign on the side of the entrance of the teahouse, he felt happy and excited. In all the teahouses in this place, they really went to one that was named ’Ye Yun’. It almost felt like destiny. As if it was telling him that he and Luo Yan were truly fated.

Once again, he felt extreme mortification. But he still had to answer Luo Yan’s question. He just hoped that his rabbit had already forgotten about the CP name that the player Catnip gave them.
He gazed down and said, "Yes."
Luo Yan smiled. How could Shen Ji Yun not think that the teahouse’s name was not good? It’s their CP name. Of course, the other would think it’s good.
Luo Jin scoffed when he heard Shen Ji Yun’s answer. "Why, because it has a part of your name on it? I didn’t expect that you still have such a narcissistic side."
"Dad, look, Ah Jin is being a bully again," Luo Yan quickly complained to their father.
Luo Jin gave his second brother an inexplicable look. "Where do you see me bullying him?"
"You are. Brother Ji Yun was just standing there and not doing anything and yet you verbally attacked him. Wasn’t that bullying?"
Luo Jin wanted to defend himself but he realized that everything that Luo Yan said was right. At the end, he could only cluck his tongue in annoyance.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Yan is right. You’re not a child anymore. Don’t be rude," Luo Wei Tian reprimanded his youngest because what he had just shown was not good behavior.
Luo Jin crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine."
Although he said that, it was obvious to all that he was pouting.
Luo Wei Tian then turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Ji Yun, don’t mind Xiao Jin. He has a sharp tongue but he’s a good kid."
"I don’t mind, Uncle Luo," Shen Ji Yun said.
Which was true, he really didn’t mind. After all, Luo Jin had always been rude to him. Besides, instead of feeling offended, he felt happy. Because his rabbit defended him.
"Come, Brother Ji Yun, let’s go inside," Luo Yan said, pulling Shen Ji Yun inside the teahouse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShen Ji Yun glanced down at Luo Yan’s hand holding his hand. It was small and soft. The warmth radiating from it shot straight to his heart, warming him completely. He wanted this moment to just stop, even for a few seconds. So, he could savor the feeling of their hands clasped together a bit longer.
Luo Ren stared at the back of the two and then glanced at Luo Jin who was still pouting on the side. He could only shake his head. It seemed that he couldn’t depend on his youngest brother if he wanted to check the character of this Shen Ji Yun. If Luo Jin helped, he might just end up helping Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan get closer instead.
"Welcome to Ye Yun!" greeted by a woman wearing a cheongsam when they entered the teahouse. "Would it be a table for five?" she added.
The employee was actually stunned seeing five good looking men, well, one of them was a pretty boy, walking in together. It was only because of her professionalism that she managed to not show her shock on her face.
"I have a reservation under the name Luo Wei Tian," Luo Wei Tian said to the female employee.
"Please, wait a moment."
Then the female employee checked something on the tablet she was holding. When she saw the name and that they reserved a VVIP courtyard room, she let out a sigh of relief. Good thing she didn’t do anything that might have offended these guests. One should know that the only people who could afford their VVIP courtyards were those at the very top of social ladder.
She was about to tell them that she would call someone to bring them to their courtyard when a melodious voice suddenly spoke.
"Brother Wei Tian?"
They all turned to the direction where the voice came from and saw a woman in a white cheongsam. Her gaze was almost sticking to Luo Wei Tian.
