Chapter 73 - TO THE BEACH
"THIS is the villa we've prepared for you, Young Masters," the General Manager said after opening the door to the villa. "I hope it's to your liking."
Luo Yan looked at the single floor villa in front of them. It had vines and green moss sticking on the walls and a small garden in front, giving it a somewhat fairy tale like feel. Then he glanced at the General Manager who looked like a kind middle-aged uncle. The one that would always smile and give candies to small children.
When they entered the main building of the resort earlier, the General Manager was already there to welcome them. With just that, even without his brothers telling him, Luo Yan could already tell that Luo Ren was not really here for a secret inspection. What kind of secret inspection would have the General Manager personally welcome the one doing the inspection?
"Thank you, Uncle Mu," Luo Ren said to the General Manager, although he didn't have a smile on his face, his expression was still full of warmth.
"I'm happy to of service to the young masters." Then the manager uncle turned to Luo Yan. "I'm really happy to see the second young master looking so healthy," he said, looking as if he would cry at any second.
Luo Yan tried his best to show a sweet smile so he could calm the manager. Because when he first saw him earlier, he really did almost bawl his eyes out. His older brother did say that the General Manager personally reported to their father. That meant that he's somehow close to the family. So he probably knew about Luo Yan's situation.
"Thank you, Uncle Mu," he said.
"Uncle Mu, aren't you busy today?" Luo Jin suddenly inserted, probably seeing how Luo Yan didn't want to see the General Manager crying again.
"Oh, right. Well then, young masters, if you need anything, just call my office. I'll immediately arranged it."
The General Manager bid goodbye and left. The three brothers then entered the villa.
Luo Yan looked around the inside of the villa. The only thing he could describe it was simple yet elegant. Certainly something that the three of them would prefer. There's a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. According to his older brother this villa had three rooms, each with their own bathrooms.
"Brother, does every guests in this resort stays in a villa like this?" Luo Yan thought of asking.
"No. There's only 12 villas here. Most single and double rooms are in the main building. Alongside the other facilities, like the restaurant, the spa, entertainment rooms. The villas are usually for VIPs. The rooms in the main building on the other hand are much more affordable. People from middle-class families could easily afford them. Unlike the hotel rooms in other resort hotels here in Songlanshan Beach," answered Luo Ren.
"I'll take the room at the back," Luo Jin said before turning to Luo Yan. "Yan, what room do you choose? I'll put your luggage there."
"The room beside Ah Jin's is fine."
Luo Ren walked towards Luo Jin and hung the bag he was carrying on his shoulder. "Then put my luggage in the remaining room." Then he proceeded on patting Luo Jin's other shoulder. "Thank you, Xiao Jin."
Luo Jin frowned and narrowed his eyes at Luo Ren. "Aren't you taking this 'bullying' business a little bit too far?"
Luo Ren only smiled. "I'm not bullying you though, I'm just exercising my rights as the eldest brother."
"Tch."
But despite Luo Jin's obvious reluctance, he still went and carried all their bags towards the rooms. Seeing this, Luo Yan couldn't help but pity his younger brother. Was this how it looked like whenever he bullied him? Poor Luo Jin. Then as compensation, he would try not to bully him this weekend.
"After Xiao Jin put down our luggage, let's go have lunch," Luo Ren said. "Yan Yan, what do you think?"
Luo Yan smiled. "Okay."
----------
After eating lunch, the three went back to the villa to change clothes and then proceeded to the beach. Of course, not before making sure that Luo Yan put sun screen and wore a hat, the type that had a wide brim.
The moment they entered the beach area of the resort, Luo Yan immediately felt the gazes of a lot of people. But he could also feel that those gazes were not directed at him. Rather, it was directed at his two brothers standing on both of his sides. He could easily guess that most of those gazes probably belonged to women.
He first glanced at his older brother. Luo Ren was wearing a printed green shirt that was opened up to the middle of his abdomen, showing a wide expanse of his chest. He paired it with a brown beach shorts. Then he looked at Luo Jin. Unlike their older brother, he was wearing a white sleeveless tee, showcasing his well-defined biceps, and also a black swimming shorts. Both of them were undoubtedly handsome and just simply oozing with appeal. No wonder these women couldn't take their eyes off of them.
Then there was him.
Luo Yan looked down at what he's wearing. A yellow sleeveless hooded tank and a pair of navy blue beach shorts. Both showed his thin arms and legs. If he compared himself to his two brothers, then he'd only be considered a boy that's still undergoing puberty. Much as he hated to admit it.
Maybe this was God's way of balancing things. He already had a perfect face, if he also had a perfect body, wouldn't that make him a perfect being?
But even so, Luo Yan still wouldn't stop until he had the same physique as his two brothers.
He walked forward and turned around. "Let's take lots and lots of pictures and show it to Dad once we get home."
"That's a good idea, Yan Yan," Luo Ren agreed before turning to Luo Jin. "Xiao Jin, take a picture of me and Yan Yan."
Luo Jin's brows furrowed. "Why am I the one taking the picture?"
"Because you're the youngest," Luo Ren simply said.
Seeing this, Luo Yan suddenly remembered his promise to himself that he wouldn't bully Luo Jin today. "Then how about I take a picture of both Brother and Ah Jin?" Before the two could complain, he already took his smartphone out of his pocket. He opened the camera and pointed it towards the two. "Okay, smile both of you. One… two…- "
He wasn't able to finish what he's saying because both his older brother and Luo Jin suddenly pulled him towards them. Before he could ask why they suddenly did that, he heard some kind of crash from behind.
Luo Yan looked back and saw a guy who's now lying face first on the place where he was just standing.
