Chapter 778 THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY

He probably should thank the second young master of the Luo family for such a change.

I- I think its going well, Shen Ji Yun said in response to his uncles question.

Shen Yi Mu opened the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk. He took a gla.s.s from the cupboard and poured himself a gla.s.s. You think you have a chance?

Shen Ji Yun was silent for a moment. Because he didnt know what kind of answer to give the other. Did he have a chance? Frankly speaking, if he just based it on the way Luo Yan was acting towards him, he would give a big resounding yes. But that side of him that just couldnt believe that things could go this smoothly wouldnt agree with him.

Its telling him that that was just how Luo Yan was very affectionate to the people he cared about. He didnt want to a.s.sume and decide whats Luo Yans feelings were just because of the way the other acted around him. What if he was simply seeing the things he wanted to see? Exaggerating the others every action in his mind?

He sighed inwardly. Truly wanting to kick himself. If only he had confidence to actually a.s.sume things. Then, maybe he wouldnt be so unsure of everything.

Seeing this sudden change in expression, Shen Yi Mu wondered if he asked the wrong question. Maybe things werent going as well as Ji Yun said. If it was, then, the other would have known by now if he had a chance or not.

The path he decided he took was not an easy one, after all. Even someone whos much older or experienced in life wouldnt exactly have an easy way of it. Much less his nephew who couldnt express or even understand his own emotions.

If youre having trouble, you know you can ask me for advice, he said.

As the others guardian, its the least he could do. Ji Yun was in a very delicate situation right now. Hes not just exploring his own s.e.xuality, hes also at the point where he was just starting to learn about his own emotions. There should at least be someone who could guide him as he went to this journey.

I Shen Ji Yun stopped. He didnt know what to say. No, he did know. He just wasnt sure if he should.

Now, now, theres no need to feel shy, Shen Yi Mu said when he saw the others hesitation. You know you can ask your dear uncle anything. Even love related matters. Ill try to give you the best advice I could.

Even though his uncle said it a teasing tone, Shen Ji Yun could see that the other was very much sincere in his offer. The only reason he held back was because he felt embarra.s.sed asking his uncle about this sort of thing. After all, they wouldnt be talking about computer-related things as they usually would.

But at the end, despite feeling embarra.s.sed, he finally decided to ask the question that had been running inside his head. How would one know if the person they like, likes them back?

After asking that, Shen Ji Yuns face quickly turned bright red. Showing just how embarra.s.sed he was by doing so.

Oh, its this question Shen Yi Mu thought. How should he answer this one?

Well, guessing ones feelings for another is definitely not an easy task. Especially in a case like yours.

Shen Ji Yun nodded. He understood what his uncle was trying to say. He was referring to the case of him liking someone of the same gender. More so in their society where one couldnt be open about it.

That kid, Xiao Yan, I could tell that he has a very affectionate disposition for the people he cared about, Shen Yi Mu continued.

His observation was, of course, based on that one day they spent with the Luo family in Chengdu. Even though its only for a short time, anyone with a keen observation could see just how affectionate the kid was to his family. He was the same way with Ji Yun. But not so much to him. Showing how Xiao Yan was only like that to people he was closed to.

If he is like that to a girl, then, it could be a cause for a misunderstanding. But if hes like that to a fellow boy, then the first thing anyone would think is that they are very good friends. So, its hard to tell what hes feeling just based on how well hes treating you.

Thats exactly whats going through Shen Ji Yuns head. Then, what does Uncle suggest I should do?

At this point, theres really only one thing, Shen Yi Mu said. He drank his gla.s.s of milk first before looking straight at his nephew. Confess.

Shen Ji Yun looked dumbfounded for a second. Before he could react or even say anything, his uncle had already continued.

Tell Xiao Yan your intentions. If you are truly decided on him, then, its better to tell him how you feel. Depending to his reaction to your confession, then, you can quickly tell what his feelings for you are, Shen Yi Mu said. Of course, this is the easy way. It could either go extremely well or it could go very, very bad.

Shen Ji Yun could already tell how bad it could be. If this is the easy way, then, there must be a hard way. Correct?

Shen Yi Mu looked at his nephews hopeful look. There is. But you must work really, really hard for it to work.

Ill do it, Shen Ji Yun said with almost no hesitation.
