"AUNT Xiulan, are you taking that to Dad and Uncle?" Luo Yan asked when he and Bai Ye bumped into his aunt who was currently holding a tray of coffee.

"Yes.Those two are already back in the study.Seriously, it's the holiday and yet they still can't help talking about business," Sun Xiulan said, sighing helplessly.

"Then let me take it to the study," Luo Yan volunteered."I have something to talk to Dad anyway."

"Sure," Sun Xiulan agreed giving the tray to him."Do you know where the study is?"

Luo Yan nodded."Yes."

He saw them going there earlier, so he knew where it was.

"Then I'm going too," Bai Ye said.

When Bai Ye was about to walk to Luo Yan's side, Sun Xiulan suddenly carried him up.

"No, you're going with me," she said.

"But, Mom—"

"You stink of sweat," Sun Xiulan said sniffing Bai Ye."So, let's make you all clean and handsome again, okay?"

Hearing his mother say that he stunk, Bai Ye's whole face turned red in embarrassment.He was with Yan Yan for so long.What if he smelled him and think that he's a smelly and dirty boy?He buried his face on the crook of his mother's neck.So embarrassing!

Luo Yan chuckled.He already knew what was currently going on inside Bai Ye's head right now."Then I'm going on ahead, Aunt, Xiao Ye."

He walked towards the study while carrying the tray of coffee.He was actually planning to ask his father if he could go and visit T University this afternoon.He couldn't go and do that tomorrow since their flight was pretty early.So, he at least wanted to go today.

If he didn't take this chance, it would probably take months before he could come back here again.Then he had to wait again before finding out what happened to his body after he was killed by that blasted potted plant.

The real question now was, how should he convince his father to let him go there?Luo Yan sighed.It seemed that all would depend again on his ever-reliable acting skill.

He soon arrived at the door of the study.Once again, he used his foot to knock on the door.

"Come in," called Bai Chen's voice.

Luo Yan balanced the tray with one hand and opened the door.He came in and saw his father and uncle sitting face to face against each other.A crystal table was between them and a chess board was on top.It looked like the two was in the middle of a chess game.

"I brought coffee," he said.

Luo Wei Tian immediately stood up and took the tray from Luo Yan."Xiao Yan, you should have shouted that it's you.What if the coffee spilled and burnt your hand?" he asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Dad.I'm good with balancing stuff," Luo Yan just said.

"Why are you the one bringing this anyway?" Luo Wei Tian asked while putting the tray of coffee on the table.

"I volunteered.And I actually wanted to discuss something with you, Dad."

"Do I need to leave?" Bai Chen asked.

"No, it's alright, Uncle.You can stay," Luo Yan said.

He noticed that out of all the people in this house right now, the only one who could probably view him objectively was his uncle.That's why if he saw the merit in him visiting T University, then Bai Chen might actually help him in persuading his father.

"What do you want to talk about, Xiao Yan?" Luo Wei Tian asked.

Luo Yan started fidgeting to make it appear like he's nervous."A-actually I've been thinking about this since I found out we're going here at B City."

"What is it?"

"Ahm, I- I have a request."He clutched the hem of his father's shirt and raised his head.He stared up at his father, making sure his eyes looked hopeful and hesitant at the same time."C-can I go and visit T University this afternoon?"

When he saw how taken aback his father was, he increased his fidgeting and appeared to look even more worried.

Of course, Luo Wei Tian noticed this small actions.That's why he stopped the refusal that he was about to blurt."Why would you want to go there so suddenly?"

"I'm actually considering T University as one of the colleges I planned to go to next year.So, I was thinking if it's alright to check it now.It- it might take a while before we could come here again.So, I wanted to use this chance to visit the place."He raised both his hand and formed a praying gesture.He then looked at his father with eyes full of hope."Please, Dad, can I?"

Luo Wei Tian wanted to refuse.But he couldn't really do it when Luo Yan was looking at him like this.He was afraid that if outright refused, his son would just cry.

He never imagined that Luo Yan was already thinking of his future.He just started high school and yet he's already choosing which university he would go to.Truthfully, there's really no need for him to refuse.But how could he just simply agree to this request?

"Why not let him go?" Bai Chen suddenly said."Just think of it as some kind of educational excursion.Let Ah Ze and Ji Yun accompany him since they both attend T University. It's the holiday, so there's no traffic.They're travel time would be shorten and they could return much earlier. There also wouldn't be that many students in the campus during this time, so it wouldn't cause any kind of commotion even if a high school student visited."

As soon as Luo Yan heard that, he almost gave his uncle a thumbs-up.[Nice assist, Uncle Chen!]

Also, upon hearing that, Luo Wei Tian felt like he just had to agree.Because if he didn't, then he would just appear to be petty.And he didn't want the be the 'unreasonable' dad in this situation.

He sighed."I get it.You can go.Aside from Ah Ze and that other kid, bring your brothers with you as well.And try to come home before the sun sets."

Luo Yan happily jumped and hugged his father's waist."Thanks, Dad!You're the best!"
