The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]-Chapter 845: WAITING AT THE GATE

Chapter 845: WAITING AT THE GATE

ARRIVING at class, Luo Yan was surprised when he received a lot of birthday wishes from his classmates. Some even gave him gifts. And they were very systematic about it too. Putting everything in a paper bag and all.

“Thank you, everyone,” he said with a bright smile.

Some girls surrounding his chair, acted like they were going to swoon.

“Why is Xiao Yan getting more and more handsome these days?” one said.

“True. It’s almost like the sun god is shining upon us.”

Luo Yan only smiled at their exaggeration.

“But Xiao Yan, there’s something we’d been wanting to ask you for quite a while now,” one classmate said. “Since it’s your birthday, maybe you can answer us?”

Luo Yan already had a feeling what they were about to ask. He tilted his head and acted as if he didn’t know. “What is it?”

“Well, you see. There’s this rookie player in Arcadia, you know Arcadia, right? He’s been gaining popularity lately. And, well, we noticed that since you grew taller, you’re starting to, well, resemble him. So, we’ve been wondering if the two of you are actually one and the same.”

Luo Yan didn’t show any surprise by the question. Instead, he smiled mysteriously. Before he could answer, their homeroom teacher entered their classroom.

“The teacher’s here, go back to your seat,” he said instead.

Probably the advantage of being pretty, even if he told the others to go without answering their question, they weren’t offended. They only pouted and went back to their seats.

All of these were seen by Huang Wen who was sitting a seat behind Luo Yan. He heard what they said about Luo Yan being Noctis. He honestly wasn’t that familiar with that game called Arcadia. Although most people his age were probably playing that game, honestly, he couldn’t see its charm. Two of his close friends – Ying Chen and Liang Sen – started playing it this year though.

When the rumor about Luo Yan being a popular player in Arcadia started to go around their class, he also started to get curious. So, he asked one of their classmates to show him a picture of this player. He was completely stunned when he saw it. Because the picture was Luo Yan minus the white hair, pointed ears, and blue eyes!

No wonder such rumors were floating around their class. This fueled his curiosity even more. So, he ended up asking Ying Chen about it. Just to make sure. He just didn’t expect that the other would be angry at him just because of that. Well, actually, he noticed that Ying Chen would be angry at him whenever he opened a topic related to Luo Yan.

He found it weird at first. And then he found out from Liang Sen that Ying Chen actually dueled against the player suspected as Luo Yan in the game and lost. Knowing how much Ying Chen hated losing, it’s no wonder the other didn’t want to talk about it.

Anyway, whether Luo Yan was that player or not didn’t really matter. Because he didn’t really care about that. His focus right now was how to greet the other ‘happy birthday’.

He didn’t have any gift for Luo Yan. He actually thought of buying one. But then he remembered that the two of them weren’t really that close. Giving the other a gift would only seem weird. He at least wanted to tell him a happy birthday. Which was probably also weird in its own way. Since, once again, they’re not close.

But what could he do? He just wanted to greet the other like the rest of their classmates.

Class started with him still wondering how to solve this problem.

At lunchtime, Luo Yan and Yu Jiao walked out of the room together to eat. Their classmates had been used to seeing the two together. So, this scene had been pretty normal for them now.

But frankly speaking, if Yu Jiao didn’t give herself a make-over, completely showing her handsome face, most of them would probably be dissatisfied seeing the two together. Now, none of them would think that. In fact, they would find it weirder if they didn’t see the two eat together during lunch.

“Happy birthday, Yan Yan,” Yu Jiao said when the two of them were finally alone.

She already sent a message greeting the other earlier. But saying your greetings in person was much better of course.

“Thank you, Jiao Jiao,” Luo Yan said with a smile.

“My gift is in my shop in the game. I’ll give it to you there.”

Considering how the other was the best Blacksmith in Arcadia, Luo Yan could probably expect a new weapon from her. “Now you’re getting me very excited.”

“I just hope you’ll like it.”

“Of course, I’ll definitely like it,” Luo Yan said with confidence.

Yu Jiao only smiled at that.

Walking out of the third year-teaching building, they immediately saw Luo Jin waiting for them. And the three walked to their usual restaurant.

—–

After the afternoon class, the three were together once again. It’s because Yu Jiao was coming with them for dinner. They were walking to the parking lot when Luo Yan received a message from his WeChat.

[Yan Yan, sorry for saying something very sudden, but I’m currently at the gate of your school. Could we meet?]

[Please?]

That two messages were followed by a cute rabbit sticker that had its hands together as if begging cutely.

Luo Yan’s eyes widened as soon as he read that. He didn’t even have time to appreciate the cute rabbit sticker. He gave the paper bag filled with gifts to Luo Jin.

“Ah Jin, you and Jiao Jiao go ahead,” he said. “Meet me at the gate.”

He didn’t give time for his brother to react and he quickly ran towards the direction of the gate.

“Yan!”

He heard Luo Jin’s call, but he didn’t stop and just continued. He couldn’t really be bothered to worry about what his brother would think. Because all his attention was now focused on the guy waiting for him at the school gate.
