Pops Novel1063 SOMETHING FUNNY
AFTER that whole fiasco in the police station, Bai Chen immediately took Luo Jin to the hospital to have him check for any injuries. Although Luo Jin told their uncle that there was no need, their uncle insisted. According to him, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Luo Yan also wanted to go with them, but his uncle asked Shen Ji Yun to take him back to the Bai mansion. He said that his aunt had been really worried, so it's better for him to go back first to reassure the other.
That's why he's currently inside Shen Ji Yun's car, on the way to the Bai family mansion.
He looked outside the car window. As he stared at the lights from cars and buildings, he couldn't help but remember what happened after they left the police station.

Su Yuqi's father, let's just refer to him as Uncle Su for now, suddenly grabbed Luo Jin's hands and said in a very sincere tone;
"Thank you, young man. Thank you for protecting Qiqi."
Luo Jin let out an awkward smile, clearly unsure on how to react. "It- it's nothing. I just did what I have to do."
"What a righteous young man you are," Uncle Su said with shining eyes. "Since you're President Bai's nephew, you must have met our Qiqi through that son of his. Are you also going to school here? Perhaps at the same university as Xiao Ze and Xiao Yun?"
"He's a high school student actually," Su Yuqi said, correcting her father's misunderstanding. "He and his brother are only here for winter vacation."
"A second year high school student to be exact!" Luo Yan added to join in the fun.
Uncle Su's eyes widened like huge saucers. "A- A 17-year-old kid?"
"17-year-old is not that young?" Luo Jin tried to appeal to the other that he was not just a 'kid'. But because of his uncertain tone, he only looked like he wasn't sure himself if that was really the case.
Uncle Su seemed to have not heard that and just turned to where Shen Ji Yun was standing. "Xiao Yun, this is really disappointing. How can you let a kid protect all of you? Doing this, can you still call yourself a man?"
Shen Ji Yun who was just standing there and was suddenly accused of not being a man: ???

Remembering Shen Ji Yun's expression at that moment, Luo Yan couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. At first, the other looked so confused, as if he wasn't sure what was happening. Then, as what Uncle Su said slowly sank in his mind, his expression turned to that of someone who looked like he had just eaten shit. In the end, he only looked extremely offended.
To be told that he was not as useful as Luo Jin might have hurt Shen Ji Yun's self-esteem a little. But more than that, he was probably just annoyed to be thought that way. Especially since he also fought against all those gangsters with all his might. He was probably thinking it's not his fault that those gangsters weren't able to land a hit on his face.
But for the sake of peace, he didn't say anything. Of course, as a good boyfriend, could Luo Yan just remain silent while the other's 'honor' was being disparaged?
So, he defended Shen Ji Yun, saying that they didn't know about the initial commotion, but when they found out about it, Shen Ji Yun quickly helped Luo Jin. After he said that, Shen Ji Yun's face became visibly brighter. As if he no longer minded the 'insults' he just received.
He once again chuckled, remembering that.
"May I ask what's making you laugh so happily?"
Shen Ji Yun's question pulled Luo Yan back from his thoughts. He turned to the other and smiled. "Of course, it's you."
Shen Ji Yun was momentarily stunned for a second, then the corner of his mouth lifted up, forming a small smile. "I hope it's not because of something bad."
Luo Yan was about to reply 'how can that be?', when a growling sound suddenly filled the car. And yes, this growling sound like a lion's roar came from his stomach.
It was only then that he was reminded that they weren't able to eat their hotpot dinner because of those damn gangsters.
"Should we go to a restaurant first and eat dinner?" Shen Ji Yun asked, glancing at him worriedly.
Luo Yan planned to say that there was no need, but his eyes just happened to see a something familiar up ahead. Seeing such a familiar place, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"No, let's just go there," he said, pointing at a convenience store.
Shen Ji Yun looked at that and frowned visibly. "Are you sure?"
"I've seen videos of people going to convenience stores and eating there. The food looked really tasty."
Of course, that was just an excuse. Convenience store food was like his normal diet in his last life. Living in such a tight budget, the cheap food in the convenience store was like a godsend to him. But after living as 'Luo Yan', he didn't have a chance to go to a convenience store, much less eat the food there.
Now that there was no one around who would dissuade him from doing so, he might as well just go and eat there.
"Well, if you insist," Shen Ji Yun could only helplessly reply.
After saying that, he found a parking lot near the convenience store to park the car.

After a lot of tests, including x-rays and CT scans, it was finally concluded that Luo Jin didn't suffer any serious injuries. The only things he got were bruises and light abrasions on his face and hands.
Luo Jin had already expected such a result. That's why he told his uncle that there's no need to go to a hospital. But they just ended up wasting their time.
As he was waiting for his uncle, who was paying the bill, his phone rang. When he took it out from his coat's inner pocket, he saw that it was Su Yuqi calling.
