The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 876: FOREVER THANKFUL

contemporary romance

SHEN JI YUN was very happy to hear that his uncle and Uncle Yue finally reconciled. He was a witness on how devastated his uncle was when Uncle Yue left. Although the other tried hard to act normal – mostly because of him – there were still nights he found the other staring blankly at the moon. Just by the expression on his face, Shen Ji Yun could immediately tell who his uncle was thinking.

But now that wouldn't be a problem anymore. His uncle and Uncle Yue found each other again. He just hoped that the two wouldn't separate anymore. He didn't want to see his uncle brokenhearted again. Especially now that he knew how painful that feeling would be. He wanted the two to be happy from now on.

"That's great, Uncle. I'm happy for you," he said.

"Thank you, Ji Yun. Ah Yue said that the main reason why he chose to face me was because of what you said to him. For that, you have my eternal gratitude," his uncle said in a serious voice.

"I didn't do much, so there's no need for thanks," Shen Ji Yun quickly said. "I'm just glad everything went well for the both of you."

"Me too," Shen Yi Mu said with a smile.

Although there were still a lot of questions in his mind, the important thing was that he and Jiang Yue had already resolved the misunderstanding of that year. More than that, the other also agreed to start over with him. What else could be happier than that?

"So, I will be staying here in S City for a while," he added.

Jiang Yue had a job here. He couldn't just tell the other to resign so he could whisked him away to another city. Unlike him, even if he's not in B City, he could still do his work wherever he was.

"Of course, that's only natural," Shen Ji Yun said.

"How about you, how was your trip with the Luo family?" She Yi Mu asked, changing the topic.

"It was great," Shen Ji Yun readily answered, his excitement visible in his voice.

Which, of course, did not escape Shen Yi Mu's notice. "Did something good happen?"

Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. He must have sounded more excited than he should. But could anyone blame him? He was just excited that he could tell someone about him and Luo Yan, share with them his happiness.

"Yes. In fact, something good did happen," he said. "Ahm, I confessed to Yan Yan and, well, ahm, he said yes."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. When he was about to ask if the other was still there, his uncle had already spoken;

"You mean you succeeded in your confession?"

"Yes. We- I mean, we're boy- boyfriends now."

Shen Ji Yun felt his whole face heating up as he said that. He suddenly felt shy. He didn't think that saying it out loud like this would be so embarrassing. Of course, not in a bad way. Just in a very happy way kind of embarrassing.

"Wow, congratulations! I'm happy for you, Ji Yun."

Shen Yi Mu still felt a bit incredible after hearing what his nephew said. Because it's something that he would have never imagined Shen Ji Yun would say. It's just so uncharacteristic of him. If the other hadn't told him about his feelings for Luo Yan before, he might have been more shock that he was now.

Anyway, just as he said, he was happy for the other. It must have been not an easy feat to do. Especially for someone like Ji Yun. He was just glad that the other was able to do it. Because it showed just how much he liked Luo Yan. And how serious he was with the other.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"So, should I go visit my future in-laws and offer them your dowry?" Shen Yi Mu asked in a teasing tone.

"Uncle-!" Shen Ji Yun complained. Then, his voice because serious. "Don't visit. They still don't know about us."

Shen Yi Mu already expected that to some extent. Remembering just how protective Luo Wei Tian and his two sons were of Luo Yan, he couldn't help but lit a candle for his nephew. It would definitely be hard, especially for Ji Yun.

"If you need help, just tell me. I'll be here to support the two of you," he said.

Trudging through this path would already be hard for the two. How much more so if there's no one standing on their side? That's why he's here. He would give them all the support they needed. He wanted to be that kind of adult for the two.

Although he had a feeling that the Luo family would be equally as supportive. They might protest at the start but once they saw that this was what Luo Yan wanted, they would definitely support him. Albeit begrudgingly. It wouldn't be easy for Ji Yun though, that's for sure.

But at least, they're not the kind of family who would think that a romantic relationship between two people of the same gender was disgusting. Shen Yi Mu just felt that kind of vibes from the Luo family. A very far cry from the Shen family.

"Thank you, Uncle," Shen Ji Yun could only say.

His uncle was like a pillar for him ever since the other became he's guardian. A huge part of why he was able to confess to Luo Yan was because of his uncle. The other supported his decision instead of stopping him.

He knew that it was mostly because his uncle had also been in the same situation. But with what happened between him and Uncle Yue, it's easy to discourage him so he wouldn't go and experienced the same thing. Instead, his uncle asked if he was ready to go down this path and if he was, he would be there to support him.

Just knowing that there's someone standing by your side was more than enough for one to accomplish anything. And for that, Shen Ji Yun would be forever thankful.
