Chapter 697: flirting
"I do, I trust Yan Yan. I believe you will win even without any help from me!" Shen Ji Yun said and then his puppy ears drooped even more. "I\'m sorry for being nosy."
Oh boy, it seemed what Luo Yan said only backfired. He smiled helplessly and no longer stopped himself from reaching out and pinching the other\'s cheek. Shen Ji Yun was clearly surprised by his action, seeing how the other\'s expression just turned blank. As if he wasn\'t sure what exactly was happening right now.
How adorable. This made Luo Yan pinch the other\'s cheek even more. "Brother Ji Yun, you\'re overthinking again. It\'s a bad habit, you know? I won\'t get angry with something so shallow. So, remove that sad expression on your face or I\'ll really get angry. Okay?"
He could see the blank expression on Shen Ji Yun\'s face slowly turning to shock until the corner of his lips turned up slightly – his usual way of smiling. Luo Yan also saw the tips of his ears turning red. He smiled. Really, this cinnamon roll.
"Yes," Shen Ji Yun said, now with a shy smile on his face.
Luo Jin stared back and forth between the two. His brother looked very pleased while Shen Ji Yun looked like a maiden shyly peeking at the person he liked.
He suddenly felt very annoyed at that moment. It\'s not the usual annoyance he felt whenever the two got too close for his own comfort. It\'s the kind of annoyance one would feel when they were fed with something they didn\'t want.
At that moment, Su Yuqi voiced out what he was thinking.
"I\'m happy the both of you came to an understanding. But in case you have forgotten, Luo Jin and I are still here. Flirting so openly like that, it\'s like you\'re pushing dog food down our throat."
Hearing Su Yuqi\'s almost indifferent voice, Luo Jin felt like a lightbulb just turned on in his head. So, that\'s it! They were being fed dog food. That\'s the term he was looking for! But realizing that now, he even felt more annoyed. He didn\'t want to eat dog food of his brother and this guy!
He turned to the two. Luo Yan wasn\'t fazed by Su Yuqi\'s comment and still had a smile on his face. While Shen Ji Yun\'s face was fully blushing. Now he\'s starting to think that his brother was the shameless one of the two.
"Su Yuqi--! That\'s not- I mean—well," Shen Ji Yun stammered while worryingly looking at Luo Yan.
To his surprise, his rabbit seemed to not mind Su Yuqi\'s comment. In fact, he even said with a smile right after;
"I don\'t think we\'re really flirting as Sister Yuqi put it. It\'s just our way of getting along." He turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Right, Brother Ji Yun?"
"Y-yes!" Shen Ji Yun quickly agreed.
Luo Yan turned back again to Su Yuqi. "But if Sister Yuqi wants to get equal, you can always flirt with Ah Jin. I\'ll be very happy to eat your dog food."
"Yan!" Luo Jin shouted, his face was already turning red.
"Well, that wouldn\'t be too bad," Su Yuqi said with a shrug. Then, she turned to Luo Jin. She stretched out his hand and then pinched the other\'s chin. "So, Luo Jin, how should the two of us flirt?"
Luo Jin\'s whole face visibly turned red in a matter of seconds. One would even think that steam would come out of the top of his head. "You- you- you--!"
Seing Luo Jin\'s small face turned as red as a boiled lobster, Su Yuqi couldn\'t help but smile inwardly.
[Well, isn\'t this interesting?]

On the other side, the group currently doing a tour around team Yunyue\'s headquarters…
Luo Wei Tian glanced around, the amazement in his eyes still hadn\'t left. In fact, it just kept on increasing as they continued on with this tour. They were currently on their way to the garden. This palace was truly a reminisce of the great palace of the past.
"This palace really has a great architecture," he commented while looking around. "It\'s like I\'m transported back to the past. Quite wonderful, really."
"Right? I knew Uncle Tian would like it," Bai Ze said proudly.
As he did so, he glanced at a certain direction. It\'s where Dusk and his dragon pet – Rowan – were supposed to be right now. When they teleported here, Dusk quickly flew to some place in the palace and Rowan followed. Might be because Dusk was the only dragon around that\'s why Rowan couldn\'t help but follow him. He just hoped that Dusk wouldn\'t beat Rowan to a pulp.
"How did your team make this whole palace?"
His uncle\'s question brought Bai Ze\'s attention back. "Well, all of us – Shen Ji Yun, Su Yuqi, and I, as well as the former two members of our team – we brainstormed for the design of this palace and this is what we\'ve come up with."
Luo Wei Tian nodded. As he was about to comment back, he caught two figures in his peripheral vision. It was his eldest and the handsome young man. The two had been walking quite far behind him and Bai Ze. Talking with each other, as if they were in their own world.
Then he saw Luo Ren reaching out to the young man. He picked up some kind of petal on top of Yu Jiao\'s head. The young man blushed in shyness while his son smiled, his eyes full of gentleness.
This was the first time he saw his son giving such an expression for someone other than family. Luo Wei Tian fell into thought once again.
They probably should really have that talk.
