Chapter 879: A FAMILY OF THREE

AS Luo Yan returned home, he was still thinking of Uncle Yi Mu and Teacher Jiang. The gaze the former gave the latter was definitely unusual. It's not like looking at someone's friend. No, it's more like looking at someone's... lover.

He wondered if he was just being too sensitive. Maybe his love-addled brain was making him see things that wasn't really there. He probably was at that phase where everything and everyone just looked pink and lovely. So, he could have mistaken the atmosphere around the two because of that.

He shook his head. What's the point of pondering over this? He could just ask Shen Ji Yun about it later.

Thinking of that, Luo Yan glanced back to Luo Jin who was walking behind him. "Ah Jin, go to our team's headquarters later after you log in."

"Why?"

"Brother Ji Yun has an announcement."

Luo Jin frowned but the other still nodded at the end.

After eating dinner, Shen Ji Yun didn't waste time and immediately logged into the game. He teleported to their team's headquarters as soon as he logged in. He didn't go to the main hall first but instead walked around the back garden.

He was feeling really nervous, to the point when it's like his breathing was clogged and there's something blocking his throat. When Luo Yan sent that message, about them announcing their relationship to their team members, this nervous feeling immediately started.

Maybe it's just him feeling afraid. The thought that the others wouldn't be able to accept their relationship was like a big knife hanging on his neck. But he also knew deep inside that it was needless worry.

Bai Ze already knew about his feelings for Luo Yan and the other didn't show any adverse reaction to it. Luo Jin might get angry but not because he felt disgusted by the relationship but mainly because he just didn't want Luo Yan to be in a relationship with him or with anyone for that matter. Then, there's Su Yuqi. That one would probably just nod and wouldn't think too much about it.

Still. This feeling of nervousness prevailed.

Shen Ji Yun took a deep breath to calm his mind. But before he could calm his mind, he saw a black canon ball flying to his direction. He reflexively opened his arms as if to catch it. But before it could land in his arms, the black ball turned into a boy.

"Captain!" Eclipse shouted.

Looking at the excited boy, Shen Ji Yun's frayed nerves started to calm down. "You're not with the dragons?"

Eclipse pouted as soon as he heard the question. "Uncle Dusk is playing with that red lizard again! He doesn't want to play with Eclipse anymore."

"I'm sure that's not the case. Maybe he just want you to spend more time with your aunt," Shen Ji Yun comforted the other.

Which was very unlike him. It's probably because of Luo Yan's influence. The other had been treating Eclipse like a real person, so he couldn't help but also see the little boy as one.

"Then, he can just spend time with Eclipse and Aunt Yuki," the boy said, still pouting.

"Hmm... maybe he's just shy."

Shen Ji Yun simply said whatever came to his mind first. But it seemed that it was quite effective because the other's expression started to brighten.

"Do you really think so, Captain?"

Shen Ji Yun nodded. "Didn't you say that Dusk seemed to like your aunt?"

Although he hardly thought that that was indeed the case, if he could stop this kid from sulking, then it's worth it. He just silently asked for Dusk's forgiveness for digging the other's grave.

As expected, Eclipse giggled. "That's right! Eclipse had felt it long before. Uncle Dusk definitely likes Eclipse's aunt, right?"

Shen Ji Yun nodded while silently apologizing to Dusk in his heart.

"There you are," a very familiar voice suddenly said behind them.

Before Shen Ji Yun could turned around, Eclipse had already ran towards the owner of the voice.

"Master!"

Luo Yan chuckled and hugged Eclipse who suddenly jumped into his arms. "Hey, you fixed your lisp," Eclipse said with his chin up as if he's very proud of that accomplishment.

"Aunt Yuki told me that Eclipse is already a big boy. So, he shouldn't fumbled with his words."

Luo Yan tapped the other's nose. "It seemed that our Eclipse worked really hard. Master is proud of you."

Although, if he's being honest, he would definitely miss the lisp. But considering how Shirayuki was the reason why it was fixed, this was most likely part of Eclipse's program.

Eclipse smiled brightly before jumping down from Luo Yan's arms and pulling him towards Shen Ji Yun.

"You're here early," he said to the other with a soft smile on his face.

Shen Ji Yun also instinctively smiled back. "I was kind of nervous. So, I figured I might as well go here early."

Luo Yan immediately understood what Shen Ji Yun meant by saying that he was nervous. He stretched out his arm and held the other's hand.

"Don't worry. It will be okay. Besides, I'm here, aren't I? We're in this together. So, there's no need to be afraid."

The thing that was clogging up Shen Ji Yun's chest completely melted away at Luo Yan's words. He squeezed the other's hand. "Yes."

Eclipse looked back and forth between the two with an obvious confused look on his face. "Why does it feel like Master and Captain look sweeter than before?"

Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned to Eclipse before looking at each other again. Then the two laughed happily.

Luo Yan stroke Eclipse's fluffy head. "You're captain and I are going to make an announcement later. You'll know the reason by then."

Although Eclipse still had the confused look on his small face, he could only nod at the end.

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Are you ready, Brother Ji Yun?"

"More than ready."

"Then, let's go."

The two started to walk towards the palace.

Luo Yan glanced back at Eclipse who was still standing in place. "Let's go, Eclipse."

Eclipse ran forward. He stood between the two and held their hands. Whoever would see them would think that they were a family of three.
