Chapter 208 - MEETING SU YUQI
ALL three Luo brothers looked at Bai Ze unbelievingly and then back at the young woman walking towards their direction.
After Bai Ze warned them not to be too surprised when they saw this Su Yuqi, Luo Ren did think that he certainly wouldn't. But the image he had in mind of a woman studying Chinese painting at a top art university wasn't exactly like this. Although he must admit that the girl certainly had a strong visual impact. He immediately got over his initial surprise and regain his usual expression.
Luo Yan also pretty much return to his senses. Although he was also surprised when he saw Su Yuqi. Because he thought that Su Yuqi would look just like the older version of her game avatar. Well, maybe if he removed the make-up, the piercing, and the bleached hair, she probably would. He must say, not everyone could pull off that style. But Su Yuqi certainly did and much more.
The one who received the biggest shock was Luo Jin. It's like his brain was struck by a heavy object and it just stopped thinking. She stared at the woman walking towards them. Was this really Su Yuqi? He tried to get over his initial surprise and stared at the girl. He overlapped her image with the image of her avatar in the red door.
He replaced her bleached hair with a long black hair, then he removed the eyeliner, lipstick, and piercing. What appeared in his mind was the same face. Proving that this girl was really Su Yuqi.
Knowing that, Luo Jin once again stared at her from head to toe. Then stopped at her exposed stomach. His whole face suddenly burned up. He quickly looked away. But then, the moment he did, his eyes collided with Luo Yan's. And, of course, his good brother smirked at him. Those peach blossom eyes of him full of teasing.
Luo Jin gritted his teeth and quickly looked the other way.
"Did you wait long?" Su Yuqi asked. Her voice had a deep register which was really nice to listen to.
"No, we also just got here," Bai Ze answered. "Anyway, I didn't know you rode here on your bike. Did you actually reply to my message while riding on that?"
Su Yuqi only gave Bai Ze a look as if saying 'why are you asking something so obvious?'.
"That's dangerous!" Luo Jin said before he could think properly.
She glanced at him. Being looked at by those indifferent eyes almost made him want to squirm. But at the same time, his heart was also beating faster and faster. Would she be able to recognize him? He couldn't help but anticipate it.
Su Yuqi was indeed thinking who this cheeky brat was. But considering she was here to meet the other member of their team, then he could only be either Luo Yan or Luo Jin. She narrowed her eyes at his face. Hmm. If she shrunk him and made him a bit cuter, this face would certainly be the same as…
"Luo Jin?"
Luo Jin's eyes brightened. She recognized him!
Luo Yan, standing on the side, saw Luo Jin's reaction. He chuckled. It seemed that despite Su Yuqi's unconventional fashion sense, it didn't deter his brother's little crush. How nice to be young. He also wondered how it felt like to admire someone to the extent that you would feel happy just by a single word from them.
Unknowingly, he glanced at Shen Ji Yun. The other also happened to just look in his direction. Their eyes met and it almost made his heart skip a beat. He tried to smile and then calmly look away.
What was that? Why did he even look at Shen Ji Yun at that moment? Should he really do an experiment just to confirm why he was sometimes being weird around this guy? No, wait. This was hardly the time for any experiment.
[Just get yourself together for the time being, Luo Yan.]
"How did you know he's Luo Jin?" Bai Ze asked. "He totally looks different from his cute gnome avatar, you know? It's kind of amazing you knew it was him with just one glance."
Luo Jin turned to Su Yuqi, he even ignored the 'cute gnome' comment made by Bai Ze. Because hearing Su Yuqi's answer was much more important.
Su Yuqi gave Bai Ze the look. The one she used when she's looking at someone as if they're ants. It was even more effective than when she's doing it in her game avatar form.
"Hey, Su Yuqi, how many times do I have to tell you not to look at me like that?" Bai Ze said, clearly annoyed.
"Then stop saying stupid things," Su Yuqi shrugged. "Process of elimination. That's why I knew it was him."
Luo Jin wilted like a flower when he heard that answer. Process of elimination, huh?
Su Yuqi looked around and her gaze landed on the tall and lanky guy standing just beside Bai Ze. If the one earlier was Luo Jin, then could this one be Luo Yan? She stared at his features. Well, he certainly had some that were similar to that moon elf avatar. But wasn't he a bit too tall? He wasn't even pretty. And he looked a lot older too.
No, this couldn't possibly be Luo Yan. Besides, just thinking that this guy would call her 'sister' was already giving her the creeps. So, he definitely couldn't be Luo Yan.
Luo Ren felt the girl's gaze on him. She's probably wondering who he was, so he just introduced himself. "I'm Luo Ren."
Luo Ren? Ah, probably the oldest of the brothers. Bai Ze did say his older cousin would also be here. Su Yuqi thought. So, where was Luo Yan.
As she thought of that, a sweet voice suddenly called her from behind.
"Sister Yuqi."
She looked back and had to lower her gaze just to see the face of the person who called her. As she did, she saw a boy who looked like he was 14 or 15. His big peach blossom eyes were gazing up at her. His pinkish lips were curved in a sweet smile. And his white skin seemed to glow under the light of the sun.
Even though she was not speaking, Su Yuqi's expression was clearly saying; Who is this adorable creature?
