The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)-Chapter 1090 LUO RENS BIRTHDAY (III)

LUO REN stopped his action of picking up a bamboo shoot when he heard Yu Jiao's answer. Although his brows furrowed at first when Luo Yan said he planned to go to T University, because he was certain half of the reason for that was Shen Ji Yun, but his brows quickly smoothed out once he heard what Yu Jiao said.

F University.

It's not only his alma mater, it's also in S City. Which meant that Yu Jiao wouldn't be leaving once she started university. It also meant that he wouldn't have to fly by plane, which would totally make him look like a stalker, to see her. He could ask to meet up without appearing like a creep.

He knew that Yu Jiao didn't decide on that because of him. She most likely decided on it because she didn't want to be too far away from her mother. The next most likely reason would be because F University was one of the top universities in the country. The university might be offering a better program for the major she planned to take.

Her decision definitely didn't have anything to do with him. But even if Luo Ren knew that, he still couldn't help but feel happy about it. Yeah, definitely delusional of him.

"That's a great choice, Jiao Jiao," his father said, commenting on Yu Jiao's answer. Then he glanced at Luo Yan. "Don't you think so as well, Xiao Yan?"

Even though it seemed like his father didn't mean anything by it, Luo Ren, as well as his brothers, could tell that his question literally translates to - 'F University is such a good university. Look, even your friend thinks so as well. Don't you want to change your first choice of university?'.

Luo Yan smiled and acted as if he didn't notice it. "Yes. After all, it's the university where Brother graduated from."

That seemed to interest Aunt Xiuying. "Oh, so Xiao Ren graduated from F University? Then Jiao Jiao would soon be your junior then?"

"Mom, it's not one hundred percent certain yet that I'll be accepted," Yu Jiao said, a touch of blush on her cheeks.

"Of course you would, dear," Aunt Xiuying said. "You're so smart, there's no way you wouldn't."

"Aunt Xiuying is right," Luo Yan followed. "With your mock exam results, you could definitely apply to any university you wanted."

"Just keep your wits about you during the exam so you can avoid doing something stupid," Luo Jin said as he nonchalantly ate a piece of duck meat.

Luo Ren promptly nudged his youngest brother's shin under the table before the other could say anything more. What if he ended up scaring Yu Jiao?

"I'm sure Jiao Jiao has already taken that into account."

Luo Jin glanced at him as if wondering why his shin was nudged like that. Considering how the other sometimes lacked tact, he thought he would blatantly ask why. Thankfully, Luo Jin didn't do that and just went back to eating.

"But Xiao Jin does present a good point," their father said. "That's why Xiao Yan, Jiao Jiao, it's better to be careful so you can avoid any careless mistakes." 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪

"Don't worry, Dad. We'll be very careful. After all, our future depends on this," Luo Yan said, before turning to Yu Jiao. "Right, Jiao Jiao?"

"Yes," Yu Jiao said, her expression much more determined than ever.

How cute.

Luo Ren smiled inwardly seeing that.

-----

After dinner, they drank tea at the living room, and continued their conversation. Most of it revolved around the college entrance examination. Since Luo Ren had already gone through it, his father asked him to share his experience. All of Yu Jiao's attention was focused on him as he talked.

Because of that, he kind of got carried away and just talked non-stop. How could he resist when Yu Jiao was staring at him like that, as if he's the only person on Earth? It only stopped when Aunt Xiuying said that they should go back home since it was already getting late.

After a round of saying goodbye, Luo Ren accompanied the mother and daughter in front of the house. The car that brought them here was already parked there, just waiting for them to get in.

"Thank you for coming here tonight and celebrating my birthday with my family," Luo Ren said before Aunt Xiuying and Yu Jiao left.

"We're the ones who should thank you for inviting us," Aunt Xiuying said.

Yu Jiao agreed.

Luo Ren only smiled. And then he spoke to the driver and asked the other to drive safely.

Aunt Xiuying was the first one to get in the car. He was waiting for Yu Jiao to get inside as well so he could close the door to the backseat. But before he could do that, Yu Jiao suddenly turned around and hugged him.

"Happy birthday again, Brother Ren."

He didn't have time to react or even register what just happened because Yu Jiao quickly got inside the car and closed the door herself. By the time he returned to his senses, the car had already driven out of the gate.

Slowly, his heart raced and then his whole face heated up like it was burning. He covered his face with both hands, trying to calm himself down like some love-struck teenager. Even though it was just a quick hug, he could still somehow feel her warmth. Even her scent lingered in his nose.

His happiness was already overflowing today. He never imagined that his joy would exceed even his highest expectations.

Ah, to be in love. What a wonderful feeling.

=====

Luo Ren chuckled after remembering what had happened that night. Everything was almost perfect. He ended the day by opening Yu Jiao's gift for him. The exquisite yet simple customized watch was like the icing on the cake. He had been using the watch since then.

He drove his car out of the gate. Hopefully, his birthday next year would be even better.
