The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 853: REUNION

THE dinner went relatively peaceful after that. By relative, it meant that there wasn't any more commotion and stuff. The dishes served were all delicious and there was pleasant conversating all around. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dinner.

"Which hotel are you staying, Xiao Yun?" Luo Wei Tian asked when they walked out of the private room after dinner was over. "We'll send you back."

"No, it's okay, Uncle Tian. I came here on a motorcycle. I'll just drive it back," Shen Ji Yun said, politely rejected the offer.

Luo Wei Tian nodded. "Then, I'll have my secretary book you a flight for tomorrow. You can go to the airport before 10 in the morning. We can all meet there."

Before Shen Ji Yun could nod, Luo Yan spoke first;

"Dad, can Brother Ji Yun just visit our house? Then, we can all go to the airport together," he said, swinging his father's arm and acting all cute.

Luo Jin almost snorted seeing this.

Their father chuckled though, clearly thinking how cute his son was and therefore didn't have any suspicion at Luo Yan's request. "That's fine too. What do you say, Xiao Yun?"

"Ah, ahm, okay," Shen Ji Yun quickly said. "I'll be there first thing in the morning."

He was very happy with this suggestion. He hadn't yet given Luo Yan his gift. Going to their house tomorrow would be a good opportunity to do that. He looked at his rabbit and a small smile crossed his lips. Why did it seem like the level of their tacit understanding was too high today?

They said goodbye then. Luo Jin went to the same car as his father. While Luo Ren and Luo Yan went with Yu Jiao to another car. The latter two would take Yu Jiao back to the apartment she shared with her mother. Because of that Luo Ren switched with Luo Jin.

For the rest of the family, the reason for that was very obvious. But for Shen Ji Yun and Yu Jiao, they were very oblivious to it. The former because he didn't really care about other's romantic entanglement and the former because it never really crossed her mind that there might be something behind Luo Ren's actions.

And with that, two cars left one after another.

Shen Ji Yun watched them go. After that, he walked to where his motorcycle was parked. He was about to take out the helmet from the compartment under the chair when he noticed something from the corner of his eye.

It was a silhouette of a man. The other probably thought that he was hiding well behind the rows of car, but Shen Ji Yun could clearly see that the man was observing himself.

Shen Ji Yun frowned. He wanted to just ignore it but the gaze of the other was too piercing. The weird thing was, he didn't feel any malice from it. He was familiar with malicious gazes since he was young. So, he could tell if a person was looking at him with that kind of eyes.

But this person's gaze different. It was intense, yes. But he didn't feel disgusted by it. He suddenly felt a sense of curiosity. This feeling made him want to do something he would normally not do.

He crouched down, pretending to check the wheel of his motorcycle. But he secretly watched the man's movement. As he guessed, the other walked closer when he crouched down. In fact, it's more like he rushed out, as if he was worried and wanted to check if he was okay.

Shen Ji Yun took that chance to rush from his crouching position to where the man was. Because the other also didn't expect that he would do that, he didn't have any time to turn around and run away. Because of that, the two of them came face to face with each other.

Both of them were shocked by this. Maybe even more so for Shen Ji Yun.

He stared at the person in front of him. The other was of average height and had a slim build. His black hair was tousled by the wind. He was wearing glasses that were frosted over, making it hard for Shen Ji Yun to see his eyes clearly. But despite that, he couldn't let go of the feeling that he had seen the other from somewhere.

It's a weird feeling that he couldn't even explain. He couldn't even see the other's face properly and yet he couldn't shake off this familiar feeling.

The other quickly averted his gaze and muttered in a low voice, "Sorry."

That one word lighted a bulb inside Shen Ji Yun's head. His eyes widened at the sudden realization. He almost couldn't believe it. No, he actually wanted to believe it.

"Uncle Yue?" he called with an almost trembling voice. When he saw the other's body visibly shaken, he knew that his guess was correct. "You're Uncle Yue, right?"

Jiang Yue wanted to say, 'no, you're mistaken', but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. It's like something was lodged in his throat. He slowly raised his head to look at the young man in front of him.

Shen Ji Yun's usual expressionless face didn't change much. But blue eyes were currently filled with a myriad of emotions. Surprise, wonder, disbelief, expectation, and happiness. It was all entangled in those blue eyes.

Seeing that, Jiang Yue could only say, "It's been a long time, Xiao Yun."

Hearing that confirmation, Shen Ji Yun's shock tripled. "Are- are you really Uncle Yue?"

Despite the situation, Jiang Yue couldn't help but chuckle seeing this reaction. He removed his glasses. "Yes, it's me."

Finally seeing those almond shaped eyes, Shen Ji Yun no longer had any doubt of some sort and his emotions simply soared. "Uncle Yue!"

Jiang Yue smiled and patted the young man's head. The kid he knew then was now half a head taller than him. Really, how time flies. "Our Xiao Yun grew up so well."
