BXBX NOVEL Chapter 494 diffusing the situation
Luo Yan chuckled and rubbed Eclipse’s fluffy head. [Okay, please tell me.]
[Mashter, it’s like watching an afternoon soap opera. Your gnome brother was complaining about Captain. And then pink-haired sister scolded him telling him that he should not treat Captain like a common criminal. Which Eclipse highly approved. Really, how could your brother say those things about Captain. After that, it was the turn of your handsome brother to go toe to toe against pink-haired sister.]
[That round of argument was pretty tense. It made Eclipse’s hair all stood up in place. Handsome brother said that it’s only right for him and your gnome brother to worry since you’re their brother. And then pink-haired sister said they’re being paranoid. Eclipse must say that he was quite disappointed with your handsome brother. How could he be so wary of Captain when Captain is so good? Honestly, your handsome brother’s position in Eclipse’s heart went down a little.]
[Eclipse really thought that they would come to blows. But thankfully that lion got in between them and tried to appease the situation. Pink-haired sister calmed down a bit, but there’s no calming down your handsome brother. He said to the lion that he’s more worried about Captain’s interest to you and that he believed that the lion knew what he was talking about.]
[And then, something interesting happened after that. The other handsome brother with messy hair, you know that one who gave new weapons to Mashter? He suddenly hugged your handsome brother’s arm and whispered something in his ear. After that, your handsome brother just froze on the spot.]
Luo Yan, more or less, understood what just happened here by simply listening to Eclipse’s very animated description. And he could only think of one thing – this was a hot mess.
It seemed that it he truly had to do something about his brothers. Or else, the next time he was alone with Shen Ji Yun, his brothers might just directly call the police. He wasn’t planning to do it this soon. But if he didn’t, then they would always react this way.
He didn’t want to have this kind of tension every time they were all together like this. However, he was kind of dreading the conversation he would have with his brothers regarding that matter. Because it would definitely be messier compared to this one. But still, he must do it.
[Mashter, are that messy-haired brother and your handsome brother like Masgter and Captain?] – the little fox suddenly asked, tilting his head and looking all cute.
Luo Yan stopped and then smiled down at the little fox. [Maybe.]
He looked at his older brother who still seemed like he hadn’t gotten over from what Yu Jiao did. Then he turned to Luo Jin who looked like he just lost his soul. It seemed that Su Yuqi’s scolding did a number on him. But it was probably his luck that the two were out of sorts. This way, he could probably get this situation straightened out. Perhaps.
He turned to Shen Ji Yun who looked like he was also curious about what just happened here.
"Brother Ji Yun, I’m going to log out now. I’ll send you a WeChat message later," he said in a voice that only they two could hear.
He smiled at Shen Ji Yun before running towards Luo Jin, not waiting for the other’s reaction.
[Mashter, you’re leaving Eclipse already?] – Eclipse asked in a sad and disappointed voice.
[Don’t worry, I’ll definitely spend time with you tomorrow. I’ll even but you your favorite Mana fruit.] – Luo Yan assured the little fox.
[Okay, Eclipse understands.] – Eclipse said in a reluctant voice.
He then put down Eclipse on the table before pulling the ’soulless’ Luo Jin and running towards their older brother.
"Brother, all that fighting kind of made me hungry. Why don’t we – you, me, and Ah Jin, log out and eat some of Auntie Cheng’s snacks, hmm?"
Luo Ren seemed to return to his senses when he heard what Luo Yan had said. And then he also remembered the reason why he was so irritated earlier. Well, before Yu Jiao hugged his arm and whispered to his ear.
His reaction to that was frighteningly embarrassing. His whole body just froze. It painfully reminded him of that ’nosebleed’ incident. Truly, he was worse than a teenager undergoing puberty.
He shook his head and pushed all the unnecessary thoughts away. Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun. Their gazes met and crackling could almost be heard. He was about to say something when someone tugged on his sleeve. He looked down and was met by a pair of big blue eyes sprinkled with gold.
"Brother, did you hear what I said? Let’s go and log out, okay?"
Luo Ren knew that Luo Yan was doing it so he wouldn’t confront Shen Ji Yun. But even though he knew, he still couldn’t refuse him. "Okay, let’s go."
Luo Yan smiled and then turned to Luo Jin. "Ah Jin?"
Luo Jin, who still wasn’t in his senses, nodded.
Then Luo Yan looked at Yu Jiao. "Jiao Jiao, I’ll see you tomorrow at school."
He actually felt kind of guilty, asking Yu Jiao of calming down his older brother. Especially since he even tricked her by telling her about that ’secret technique’. It’s like he took advantage of her innocence. [Sorry, Jiao Jiao, I promise I’ll make it up to you.]
Yu Jiao smiled awkwardly. "O-okay, see you tomorrow!"
"See you, Jiao Jiao," Luo Ren said.
Yu Jiao nodded, not meeting Luo Ren’s eyes. She was still a bit embarrassed from what she did earlier.
"Xiao Yan, congratulations for successfully being part of the finals!" Bai Ze suddenly said.
"Congrats, to both you and Luo Jin," Su Yuqi followed.
Luo Jin’s small body twitched when he heard that. But he still didn’t say anything.
"Thank you, Brother Ze, Sister Yuqi," Luo Yan said.
And then the three Luo brothers disappeared, a sign that they had already logged out.
Bai Ze finally let out that sigh relief. It was a good thing that Luo Yan appeared to diffuse the situation. Or else, he seriously didn’t know what could have happened next.
He looked at his friend who was walking towards the table where the little fox was.
"You shouldn’t have taken Xiao Yan like that. You know how my cousins are. It’s okay if they were not here, but they were. Brother Ren and Su Yuqi almost tore at each other’s throat, you know?" he said with a bit of admonishing tone.
Su Yuqi scoffed. "If we did end up tearing each other’s throats, I assure you, I will win."
"That’s not the point," Bai Ze said.
Su Yuqi only shrugged before turning to Shen Ji Yun. "You have your work cut out for you. That older brother won’t be easy to appease."
"I’m prepared for it," Shen Ji Yun responded, picking up Eclipse.
Bai Ze caught something from the conversation of the two. "Wait- you know about Ji Yun’s feelings?"
Su Yuqi only raised one of her dainty brows as if saying, ’isn’t that obvious?’.
