Chapter 871: WHAT CHOICE DID THEY HAVE?

AFTER lunch, the Luo family and Shen Ji Yun left Xiao Xing Orphanage. Before leaving, Luo Wei Tian and the director talked about putting the kids under LY Foundation. Of course, that was as long as they fulfilled the requirement for the scholarship. And Luo Wei Tian was confident that the kids here could easily do that.

Meanwhile, the kids had a hard time saying goodbye to the brothers, as well as Shen Ji Yun. They liked the beautiful Luo Yan, the smart Luo Ren, even the taciturn Luo Jin. And most of all, the ice prince who's very good at cooking – Shen Ji Yun.

It took a while before they calmed the kids down. But after promising that they would come again on their next vacation, they finally let them go peacefully.

Now, they're back at the hotel. They still had a couple of hours left before their flights. Yes, flights. Because Shen Ji Yun would not travel back to S City with them and would fly back to B City instead.

But right now, Luo Yan was thinking on how he could get away for awhile so he could go to the cemetery. He was actually about to think of a probable reason last night but Shen Ji Yun's confession kind of took priority first. So…

Anyway, let's just say the most viable reason right now.

"Dad, can we go sightseeing before our flight?" he asked, acting cute. "We still have a lot of free time, right?"

Then, he would just have to think of how to sneak away while doing so.

Luo Wei Tian didn't take too much time to decide since there was really a lot of time left before their flights. "Okay, you four can go sightsee."

Luo Yan was about to celebrate inside when he heard the 'okay', but after hearing what followed next, he became a bit curious. "You're not going with us, Dad?"

"Assistant Wen sent me some files this morning. I haven't had time to check it so I'll do that now," Luo Wei Tian said. "You four go and enjoy yourselves. Just come back in time. We don't want to be late for our flights."

"Aww… that's too bad," Luo Yan said, acting all disappointed. But deep inside, he was already making a fist of victory. Because with his father not going with them, that meant that he could think of a better excuse to go to the cemetery later. "But don't worry, Dad, we'll definitely be back in time." He turned to his brothers and Shen Ji Yun. "Right?"

The other three also nodded despite the truth that none of them probably wanted to sightsee. Luo Ren and Shen Ji Yun bot had no interest in such things while Luo Jin only thought of it as troublesome. But since it was something that Luo Yan suggested, they had no choice but to go.

And with that, the four left the hotel once again.

"Brother, can we go someplace first before going to the city center?" Luo Yan asked Luo Ren who was currently the one driving the van.

"Where?"

"A cemetery."

Luo Yan decided to just go there with the three instead of sneaking away. Since their father didn't go with them, it wouldn't take that much to convince the others to go with him. If their father was with them, he was sure that the other would ask a lot of questions. Which would only make things harder.

Although that didn't mean that his brothers wouldn't do the same, at least with them, even if he didn't give them a proper answer, they would still fulfill his wishes. Sneaking away would just get him scolded. So, it's better this way.

Both his brothers frowned at the mention of cemetery. Even Shen Ji Yun looked at him with concern.

"Why go to such a place?" Luo Jin asked.

Luo Yan knew that his brothers were sensitive to such a place because of their mother. In truth, after he was released from the hospital, they only visited the cemetery, where their mother was buried, once. And that was before he entered Guizu Academy.

Back then, Luo Jin could barely keep his tears in. Luo Ren also had a very solemn expression. And even though their father tried to smile while telling their mother about Luo Yan's successful recovery, the other's voice was still shaking uncontrollably.

At that time, Luo Yan promised to himself and to his mother – Bai Mei Hua – that he would love and protect this family until the end of his life. He still remembered the soft wind that touched his cheek after he made that promise.

It was almost a reminisced of the soft breeze he felt when he and his father went to an amusement park. The time when he first called Bai Mei Hua 'Mom' and the first time he also made the same kind of promise. Luo Yan had always considered that as a sign of her giving permission and encouragement.

So, for him to truly fulfill that promise, he needed to give his last life a proper closure. And for that to happen, he needed to say goodbye to 'Luo Yan'.

With the excuse he prepared, he said;

"When I was talking with the director, she said that I reminded her of someone who grew up in the orphanage before. The director said that he's a very smart and thoughtful person. But sadly, he died in an accident a little over seven years ago.

"His name was also Luo Yan and we also share the same birthday. I- when I listened to the director talked about him, I felt some kind of connection. I can't really explain it. But I- I want to pay him a visit. To give him flowers or something. And just talk to him for a bit. Can- can I?"

When the three saw Luo Yan's hesitant look, they knew that the other truly wanted to go to the cemetery and visit the grave of this person. Although they couldn't understand the reasoning Luo Yan gave, they understood that if they said 'no', the other would truly be saddened.

So, what choice did they have but to agree?
