"BE sure you didn’t forget anything," Luo Ren said to his two brothers who just walked to the living room of the villa.
"Don’t worry, Brother, the souvenirs I bought is here," Luo Yan said, showing the little paper bag he’s carrying. Before leaving for the resort, their father gave him a credit card. So that if he wanted to buy something, he didn’t need to ask his two brothers for money. "And Ah Jin made sure that all my clothes are in my bag."
"I’m all good to go too," Luo Jin said who was carrying two bags, one was his, the other was Luo Yan’s.
Luo Ren got up and picked the bag on the side. "Let’s go then."
Before walking, he didn’t forget to reach for Luo Yan and held his hand.
It was after lunch and they were about to leave the resort and go home. They picked this time so they could reach their house before evening. Even though they only stayed here for a day, since they arrived here yesterday afternoon and then now they’re leaving just after lunch, Luo Yan didn’t feel like the time they had wasn’t enough.
Yesterday, after strolling to the beach, they went and gone fishing. There was a river that connected to the ocean located at the at the back area of the resort. It was a very novel experience for him. Of course, he sucked at it. He didn’t even manage to catch a single fish. Luo Jin was slightly better than him. Only slightly. Because he managed to catch a small fish. Their older brother was the one who did extremely well. He was able to catch two large trout, alongside other small fishes which he let go in the river. They brought the two large trout back to the hotel and asked the chef of the restaurant to cook it for them for dinner.
Then after that, they fully enjoyed the amenities of the resort. Going to the spa, checking on the entertainment rooms and recreational rooms, Luo Yan had never experienced such fun and relaxing activities. Then this morning, they went island hopping, taking pictures along the way. They even checked some of the beautiful rock formations.
This weekend was truly the nicest weekend he ever had. Luo Yan hoped that they could do something again. Of course, with their father next time. A complete family trip.
They haven’t taken a step yet away from the villa when they saw the General Manager rushing over, two attendants were trailing behind him.
"Is something wrong, Uncle Lu?" Luo Ren asked when the manager.
"No, nothing. I just wanted to personally send off the young masters. Please, allow these two to carry your bags to your car. I already conceded on letting the young masters carry your bags to this villa yesterday, please, at least this time, let us do our job."
The manager sure was very dedicated to his job. No, maybe he was only because it was them.
Luo Ren nodded to Luo Jin and they both gave the bags they’re carrying to the two attendants.
"Then, Uncle Lu, this is the key to the villa," Luo Ren said, giving the key to the manager. "Thank you for taking care of us this weekend."
"The young master didn’t need to thank me. I just hope that the three young masters could come and visit us again," the general manager said, practically brimming with happiness.
"That’s for sure," Luo Ren answered.
They bid goodbye to the general manager and followed the two attendants to the parking lot. Arriving at the side of the black BMW, Luo Ren unlocked the key fob so that the two attendants could open the trunk and put in their luggage. After doing so, the two respectfully left.
Luo Jin opened the door to the passenger’s seat and sat inside.
Luo Ren, on the other hand, opened the door of the back seat. He smiled down at Luo Yan. "Go on in, Yan Yan."
Luo Yan smiled sweetly back at him. "Thank you, Brother."
He was about to go in when he heard the conversation of two men passing by their direction.
"I think I just saw Song Liuli at the beach of this resort earlier," one said.
"You mean goddess Liuli? No way! Isn’t she super busy? What’s she doing here?" the other said with an unbelieving tone.
"I don’t know, maybe for a vacation. Do you think the other members of Celestials are also here? Ah, I sure hope I could get their autographs. The odds of them winning the championship again for the next season’s tournament is pretty high, don’t you think?"
"I don’t know. I think Fenghuang has a good chance next season. After all, I heard they already signed in their team that monster rookie who won the Rookie Carnival last year."
Then the two completely passed by them, making it hard for Luo Yan to continue hearing their conversation. Read complete version only at n0velfire.net
"What’s wrong, Yan Yan?" Luo Ren asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing. Let’s go, Brother."
He went inside the car and his older brother walked to the front and sat on the driver’s seat. Luo Ren then started the car.
Luo Jin looked back at Luo Yan. "Yan, make sure to put on your seatbelt."
"Yes," Luo Yan answered and just absentmindedly put on his seatbelt. He was thinking about that conversation he just heard.
The Song Liuli they mentioned must be the girl he was being compared to in that forum post. Which was thankfully no longer gathering attention and that was now buried under newer posts. He wondered if she could truly be compared to his beauty. Then there was that tournament, and that Rookie Carnival they mentioned.
Maybe he should search more about those once they got back home.
It was past 4 o’clock in the afternoon when they returned home. They were still on the driveway but Luo Yan could already see the figure of their father waiting at the front of the mansion. His older brother stopped the car in front of their waiting father. Luo Yan was the first one to get out of the car. He immediately walked towards their father and gave him a quick hug.
"Welcome back. Did you have fun?" Luo Wei Tian asked.
"Yes. But it would be more fun if Dad was with us."
Luo Wei Tian laughed and touched his second son’s nose. "You sweet talker."
"Oh, I bought souvenirs for you, Dad." Luo Yan gave his father the small paper bag he’s carrying. "We also took a lot of pictures. You could look at it later."
"Thank you, Xiao Yan."
Luo Wei Tian looked inside the paper bag and saw that it was full of small trinkets that one could buy at a souvenir shop. It’s probably the cheapest gift he received since he founded Tianhua Group. But in his heart, it’s definitely one of the most expensive. Simply because it was given to him by Luo Yan.
He smiled at Luo Yan and then turned to his other two sons. "I already asked the cook to prepare snacks for you three. Let’s go in and eat them."
After that small welcome, the four members of Luo family entered the mansion to have their late afternoon snack.
