The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

1098 LUO JIN'S SMALL TROUBLE

LUO JIN looked at the small box wrapped in a smple ribbon. Inside this was his gift to Su Yuqi. Because it would be her 21st birthday on Saturday. He planned to go to B City to personally give this gift to her.

Sending it via courier seemed too perfunctory. Especially since the other knew his feelings for her. If he didn't give it personally, it would seem like he's not sincere enough. He knew Su Yuqi wouldn't think that, but still. Aside from wanting to give it personally, he also wanted to surprise her.

Maybe it would even earn him some brownie points.

Especially after his talk with Luo Yan during the farewell party. It had been more than two weeks since then. It had also been that long since Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan left the country. But he still hadn't really done anything to make progress with his current relationship situation with Su Yuqi.

'You know, Ah Jin, a simple and straightforward 'I love you' could do wonders.'

That's what Luo Yan said to him. Luo Jin seriously took it to heart. And after much introspection, he realized that he hadn't really yet said those words to Su Yuqi. When he confessed, he only said, in not so many words, that he wanted to be with her. From the waking hours of every day to the quiet moments of the night, he just wanted to spend those times with her.

That's why the content of his confession was mostly about that. But what if Su Yuqi was waiting for him to say those words instead? A clear confirmation of his feelings for her instead of just telling her in a round-about way that he wanted to be with her.

He thought much about it and realized that Luo Yan was right. Why couldn't he just directly tell Su Yuqi that he loved her? That's what he should have done when he confessed. Another minus point for him was that he did it when they were in the game. That's why his decision to go to B City on Saturday became even stronger.

He would not only give his gift to Su Yuqi personally, he would also confess in a much more direct way. It didn't matter if he didn't get a reply. After all, Su Yuqi didn't have any obligation to give him an answer. What mattered most was that he managed to cross his feelings in a much more straightforward manner.

It's a good thing that their team was done with their weekly Arcadia travel. They had now covered the entirety of Arcadia. He was certain their team wouldn't be lost during the amazing race themed quarter-finals.

Their team was now mostly training in the new dungeon - Thousand World Fantasia. Since the team for the semi-finals was [RPG], Luo Yan said that it might be similar to what they experienced when they first cleared the Thousand World Fantasia dungeon.

According to him, it's better if all of them were able to play the part given to them to perfection. Just in case the semi-finals required them to not reveal their identities to the opposing team.

Luo Jin actually disliked that dungeon. After all, he had to role-play as a man pretending to be a woman. If he had to wear a skirt again in front of so many people watching, he might just really lose it.

Especially now that the servers from other countries had been opened since last month. The people who would watch the finals of Arcadia Cup would not only be from their country, but from other countries as well. That meant it would be a worldwide level kind of humiliation for him if he was forced to wear a skirt again.

Anyway, that's not the problem right now. He should focus more on the problem at hand. Which was convincing his father to let him go to B City on Saturday.

No matter how much he thought about it, he really couldn't think of a viable solution. But it's not like he could give up. At the end, he only came up with one conclusion.

He should ask for help.

Luo Yan was in the small pavilion in their house's back garden. The temperature was already a bit warm compared to winter season. It's because the season had already changed and was already in the middle of spring. That's why Luo Yan was wearing clothes with thinner materials. He could also now lounge here in the garden without worrying that he might get a cold.

He was holding his phone and swiping through the posts and comments about Arcadia in a foreign SNS app. The launch of the new servers happened last month. Since the launch, Arcadia had been a trending topic in foreign SNS apps.

It had become a bit of a habit for him to read through the comments. Not only to check the other countries' reaction but also to exercise his English skill.

So far, the reaction had been very positive. After all, Arcadia was a very immersive virtual reality game. It's like being transported to another world. It would definitely be a hit to people who liked games, animes, and similar stuffs.

Right now, most of the reactions came from those people. But Luo Yan was sure that sooner or later, even ordinary people would want to play Arcadia. And then, maybe a year from now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Arcadia would be a must-have to the majority of the people in the world.

Hopefully, there would come a time when Arcadia would only have one big server. That way, people from all around the world could interact with one another.

As he was reading through the comments, he saw Luo Jin walking towards the pavilion where he was. The other had a pensive expression on his face, which made him curious. He put down his phone and waited for Luo Jin to approach.

The first thing Luo Jin said as he sat down beside Luo Yan was, "Yan, can you help me with something?"
