LUO YAN'S eyes went wide. For a second, he wasn't sure if he had heard Shen Ji Yun right. He stared at him, searching his face for any hint that he might be joking. Then he saw the corner of Shen Ji Yun's mouth lift, and his blue eyes curve into happy crescents. That was when he knew Shen Ji Yun was telling the truth. A rush of joy flooded through him. He jumped on the spot, then threw his arms around Shen Ji Yun again, holding him tight. All the worry from before melted away. His father had given his approval. Everything was going to be okay.
"Really, Brother Ji Yun?" he asked, just to be sure. "You're not joking with me, are you?"
Shen Ji Yun chuckled and pulled him closer, his arms tightening around Luo Yan like he wanted to press them together until there was no space left between them. "I wouldn't joke about this. Your father gave his approval. He didn't look too happy about it, but he still did."
