1013 VALENTINE'S???
LUO YAN walked down the stairs, feeling refreshed. It's not only because he had a good night's sleep, but mainly because he was done with all the preparations for Shen Ji Yun's birthday.
His gift was ready. The catering for tomorrow had also been prepared. And the preparation for his surprise evening date was also done. The only thing left was for everyone to arrive at Shen Ji Yun's birthday. And, of course, for him and the other to have an alone time in the evening.
"Good morning," he greeted his uncle and auntie, who were already in the dining room and having coffee.
He sat in his usual seat. The others were probably still asleep. This was a good opportunity to talk to his uncle and aunt about tomorrow.
"Uncle, Aunt, tomorrow is Brother Ji Yun's birthday. We're preparing a surprise party for him, so we might stay at his house for the whole day," he started.
"Oh, that's right, it's Xiao Yun's birthday tomorrow," his aunt said, looking like she had just remembered it.
Uncle put down the newspaper he's reading. "Should I call my assistant to buy a gift?"
"No need. I already bought it in advance," aunt responded.
"Does that mean aunt is going to come with us?" Luo Yan asked. He didn't include his uncle because he knew that the other had work.
"Oh no. As much as I would love to, I can't. I have to accompany your grandfather to the hospital tomorrow for his monthly check-up."
Luo Yan suddenly felt guilty after hearing that. He was so excited to celebrate Shen Ji Yun's birthday tomorrow when his grandfather would have to go to the hospital tomorrow.
His aunt seemed to have read what he's thinking because she quickly said, "It's fine, Xiao Yan. It's just a routine check-up. I'm sure your grandfather would also want you to have fun tomorrow."
"Your aunt is right," his uncle added. "It would also be good for Ji Yun to have more people to spend his birthday with."
Luo Yan glanced at his uncle with a bit of surprise. Did his uncle perhaps know about Shen Ji Yun's circumstance?
"But does Xiao Yun not have a girlfriend?"
Luo Yan almost coughed when he heard his aunt's question. "No, I don't think so." Well, he's not exactly lying. Shen Ji Yun didn't have a girlfriend, but a boyfriend instead. "Why did Aunt Xiulan suddenly ask that?"
"Because it's Valentine's Day tomorrow. I just thought his girlfriend would probably be there as well to celebrate his birthday."
Luo Yan felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard his aunt's response. That's right. February 14. It's not just Shen Ji Yun's birthday, but also Valentine's Day. How could he forget?
It's actually quite understandable for him to not consider that. Because Valentine's Day was not really a holiday comparable to the Spring Festival. But it had gained popularity among younger generations in the past years. Still, it was something that was far off from Luo Yan in his previous life.
He never had a special someone to celebrate it with. So, it was a day that never really had any significant meaning to him. But the situation now was different. He not only had someone to celebrate Valentines with, it was also the birthdate of his boyfriend.
What a huge blunder.
Now, he suddenly felt like all the preparations he had done so far were not enough. He at least had to make it more special and romantic. After all, Valentine's Day was a celebration of love.
The only good thing was he realized this before it became truly too late.
Their scheduled sixth match was much later in the evening. So, he still had half a day to make things right. Good thing he had a lot of personal money to make that possible.
Thank you once again, Yuexing Pavilion.
----------
There were only 15 minutes left before the start of the sixth match of team Yunyue. But there was surprisingly a member missing in the main hall. And no, it's not one of the dragons.
They had long stopped joining these pre-fight meetings as early as the third match. According to them, or rather, Rowan, since they wouldn't really contribute anything to the matches, it's better to spend their time doing something that's actually fruitful. Which was fighting and training, of course.
So, who was the missing one?
"Where is Master?" the black-haired boy with fox ears and tails asked.
That's right, it was Luo Yan.
"Was Yan Yan busy with something? Or did something happen to him?" Shen Ji Yun asked Bai Ze since the other and Luo Yan were currently living together in the Bai family mansion. Worry was evident in his gaze.
Bai Ze scratched his cheek. He couldn't really say that Luo Yan was indeed busy with something. Because he was certain that whatever it was that's keeping him busy was related to Shen Ji Yun's birthday.
"I wonder..." he could only say while secretly glancing at Luo Jin and silently asking the other with his eyes to help him sort out this situation.
Luo Jin promptly pretended not to see that. He was actually still feeling annoyed that his brother had been running around outside, doing god knows what. He was certain, though, that it was related to that guy. But he really couldn't say anything to stop the other. Because what right did he have to do that?
Being overprotective when it came to Luo Yan's relationship with Shen Ji Yun would only earn his brother's ire in the long run. So, he could only stay silent and watch.
Seeing that Bai Ze didn't answer his question properly, Shen Ji Yun immediately knew that Luo Yan was most likely doing something related to his birthday. He felt a bit complicated after that realization.
Although he felt happy that Luo Yan was doing this for him, he didn't want the other to be tired and busy because of him.
As he was worrying about that, Luo Yan finally appeared. The bright smile on his face showed no hint of tiredness. Clearly, whatever he had been doing, he enjoyed it.
"Sorry, I'm late."
