1053  FEELING ALREADY RESIGNED

LUO YAN watched Luo Jin's back as the other ran, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Really, how cute.

"Do you like it that much, Luo Jin and Su Yuqi being together?" Shen Ji Yun asked.

Luo Yan turned towards the driver's seat. "I don't really have to like it. As long as Ah Jin is happy, then that's enough for me. Although I must admit, if Sister Yuqi was some femme fatale who goes around leading boys around and breaking their hearts, I would definitely do something to not let things reach this point."

"Well, Su Yuqi is certainly not that," Shen Ji Yun nodded. "For what it's worth, Su Yuqi had never been in a relationship. So, her going around breaking people's hearts is highly unlikely."

Well, Luo Yan didn't really care if Su Yuqi had a boyfriend before, and he was sure Luo Jin wouldn't either. The only thing that mattered was whether Su Yuqi was a good person or not. And after observing her for months, it was easy to see that she was a good person. Maybe she was a bit grouchy sometimes, but she's also very cool and thoughtful when she needed to.

There were probably a lot more things Luo Jin liked about her. Which was no longer Luo Yan's business. The only thing needed to be considered here was Luo Jin's happiness.

Besides, the other was not a child who didn't know anything. He was old enough to fall in love. Who knew if what his feeling right now would last or if it was only momentary? But he had the right to explore those feelings. And Luo Yan wouldn't get in the way with that.

He looked back out of the car window. [Good luck on your date, Ah Jin.]

Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun. "So, where should we go on a date?"

----------

Luo Jin fixed his hair a bit while tapping his foot on the ground. He was standing in front of a department store, waiting for Su Yuqi to arrive. They chose this place since it's the closest point between the Bai mansion and Su Yuqi's home. It was also in the city center, so it would be faster to go to various places.

He had made plans, searching for good date spots, after Su Yuqi agreed to go on a date with him. He spent the whole day yesterday just doing research. Looking at articles online like, [Tips For a Successful First Date] or [From Awkward to Awesome: Mastering Your First Date Success]. Not only that, he also searched all the good date spots in B City. He did not stop until he made a satisfactory itinerary.

He, who didn't care one bit about fashion, carefully selected the clothes he would be wearing today. He even used pomade to style his hair. Not only that, he secretly took a face mask from his aunt to put on before he slept so his skin would not appear dull and puffy.

That's just how important this day was for him. He needed this date to be successful. It might take a while before he could meet Su Yuqi again in person. He should do his best to impress her. To show her that he's not just a kid. That he wasn't just playing around. That this was very serious for him.

But no matter how much determination he had, his nervousness was still through the roof. If he was a smoker, he would have already taken out a cigarette just so he could calm down. He took a deep breath once again, trying to slow down his heartbeat. But no matter what he did, it's still running in overdrive.

After a few minutes more of waiting, Luo Jin saw a familiar figure on a motorbike coming in his direction. The rider probably also quickly noticed him because the bike stopped just in front of him.

The young woman smoothly dismounted from a red Ducati bike she's riding, revealing a cascade of dark-red hair as she removed her helmet. Her hair fell down in effortless waves, framing her face with a touch of wild elegance.

Dressed in a sleek black leather jacket, she exuded a confident yet understated style. Beneath the jacket, she sported a snug black sweater paired with dark denim jeans and sturdy black boots, completing her effortlessly cool look.

Su Yuqi turned to him. "You're quite punctual. That's good."

That one glance made Luo Jin's heart that was already beating harder than normal accelerate even more. He gulped, unable to take his eyes off of her. How could someone be so beautiful and cool at the same time?

"How long are you going to stare at me like that?" Su Yuqi asked in an amused tone after Luo Jin didn't immediately respond to her greeting and just kept staring at her.

Luo Jin's face quickly turned red as he heard that. His initial response would be to look away and immediately deny that. But reacting like that would only further prove how much of a kid he was. And wasn't the purpose of this date to change Su Yuqi's opinion of him? So, he had to get it together and be mature for once.

With his burning determination, he said;

"Sorry. You're just too beautiful. I couldn't help myself."

If he's not blushing red like a cooked shrimp, that line delivery could make anyone feel cringe. But with him blushing like that, instead of coming off as flirtatious, he just exuded a certain kind of innocence. Which, frankly speaking, Su Yuqi liked more.

She chuckled. "Why, thank you."

Luo Jin pouted, feeling a bit disappointed that she didn't react much to what he said.

"Shall we go?"

Luo Jin quickly cheered himself up. "Can I drive?"

"Do you have a license?" When Luo Jin didn't answer, Su Yuqi smiled helplessly. Then she took out an extra helmet and threw it at him, which Luo Jin easily caught. "Hop on."

Luo Jin looked at the helmet in his hands, already feeling resigned. He sighed before putting it on and climbing behind Su Yuqi.
