The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]-Chapter 869: SWEETER THAN CHOCOLATE

Chapter 869: SWEETER THAN CHOCOLATE

LUO YAN’S heart that was already beating rapidly felt like it had gone to complete overdrive. He even felt like hormones were clogging up his brain and he couldn’t think properly. All he knew was how happy he was at this moment.

That’s probably why, instead of thinking deeply, he just found himself saying, “Only in this lifetime?”

Shen Ji Yun, whose knees were already trembling due to excessive nervousness, couldn’t believe his ears. Of all the possible reactions he had imagined, he never thought of Luo Yan responding like this.

Before deciding to do all these, he had already readied himself for the worst-case scenario. Imagining Luo Yan rejecting him or showing a disgusted expression made him sleepless. It’s like a nightmare that continued to plague him. But just as he said to Uncle Yue, he wouldn’t achieve happiness if he didn’t have courage.

So, he carefully planned everything. From the game to the heart crystal and even to the hasty arrangement with this hotel. That way, even if he was rejected, he could proudly say that he did everything he could.

But Luo Yan didn’t say any word of rejection. What he said instead gave Shen Ji Yun immense hope.

“No, not only in this lifetime! But the next one as well and the other after that!” he quickly said. “No matter how many times I reincarnate, my heart will only belong to you.”

Luo Yan smiled when he heard that. “Silly. How could that be possible?” He closed the lid of the gift box and then pinched Shen Ji Yun’s cheek with his free hand. “But this lifetime, it wouldn’t be too bad to spend it with you.”

Shen Ji Yun’s eyes widened. He almost wondered if he was hallucinating or something. He even questioned if this was reality or if his brain was making things up for him.

“R-really? Do- are- I mean, really? Are you agreeing to be with me?”

Luo Yan chuckled at Shen Ji Yun’s cut reaction. “Yes, I like you too. No, I’m in love with you, Shen Ji Yun.”

Shen Ji Yun’s heart that was already beating wildly just jumped up to his throat. His whole face heated up. He was sure that it looked like a boiled shrimp right now. No, maybe it was even worse.

He couldn’t contain his emotion and just ended up hugging Luo Yan. “Me too. I- I like you too! No, I mean. I’m also in love with you. I love you so much sometimes my heart felt like it would burst just thinking of you.”

Luo Yan was startled at first because of the sudden hug. But at the end, he only chuckled and hugged the other back. “Yeah, I kind of get that.”

Feeling the warmth of each other, it took quite a while before the two of them separated.

After calming down for a bit, reality finally started to sink in. Shen Ji Yun asked, “Does- does this mean that the two of us are already in a relationship?”

“Well, considering that we already confessed our feelings for each other, it would be a very scumbag move of me if I say ‘no’, isn’t it?” Luo Yan said with an amused tone.

Hearing that, happiness just bubbled inside Shen Ji Yun. No, almost all positive emotions boiled inside him. If this was a dream, he truly didn’t want to wake up.

“I’m so happy right now,” he could say at the end.

Luo Yan smiled seeing just how visibly happy the other was. “Me too. Actually, I thought it would take quite a while for you to confess. I told myself that if you don’t confess to me once I turned 18, then I just have to do it myself on your birthday. It’s a good thing the both of us didn’t have to wait that long.”

Shen Ji Yun, who just received that information, felt like a computer that suddenly malfunctioned. This was already the second time in just a few minutes. If this continued, his brain might really just stop working. But the meaning behind what Luo Yan just said was also pretty clear to him.

“Yan Yan, you mean you already know about my feelings long ago?”

Luo Yan, who just said what he said without much thought, didn’t think that he would confess one of his ‘secrets’ like this. Then, he could only act cutely and said, “Oops?”

“How—when–?”

Hmm… how to answer that? Should he be honest? – Luo Yan thought. Well, since they’re already in a relationship, it’s better to be honest. “For quite a while now. You’re not really being subtle about it.”

Shen Ji Yun’s face burned with embarrassment. Was he really that obvious? And to think that he thought he was being covert about it.

Seeing the other’s reddened face, Luo Yan knew that the other must feel very embarrassed right now. He put the gift box in one of his pants’ pockets before hugging the other’s waist.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You were very cute,” he said.

“That’s not exactly comforting,” Shen Ji Yun said with a wry smile.

As an answer, Luo Yan leaned forward and gave Shen Ji Yun’s lips a quick peck. “Is this comforting enough?”

Shen Ji Yun’s body froze on the spot. Then, his face felt like it’s burning. Not just his face but his whole body. He didn’t even know how he managed to say what he said after.

“Not enough.”

Luo Yan smiled at that and then gave the other’s lips another peck.

But this time Shen Ji Yun didn’t let Luo Yan get away so quickly. He held the back of the other’s neck with one hand and the other held his slim waist. And then, he leaned forward and deepened the kiss.

It was a clumsy kiss with their teeth almost clacking because of Shen Ji Yun’s haste. But soon the both of them found the right rhythm.

Luo Yan then wrapped his arms around Shen Ji Yun’s neck and the two shared a kiss much sweeter than chocolate.
