WHEN they got off their horses, Luo Yan couldn’t help secretly glancing at Shen Ji Yun. Although the other was still as expressionless as ever, but one could easily see if they just looked closely that he was brimming with happiness. Luo Yan also couldn’t help but smile because of that.
He knew that it was because of the answer he gave him earlier. Maybe it was something that had been eating at him for quite a while now. After all, liking someone of the same gender was not something that common. It was something that could incite negative reactions from a lot of people.
Knowing Shen Ji Yun, he was probably worrying about a lot of things. Like how his feelings would be viewed not only by society but most importantly by his family and friends. How, if they get together, would he protect him from the judgement of people. And Luo Yan was sure that there was still a lot of complicated things running inside that head of his.
Shen Ji Yun probably couldn’t even talk about his feelings to anyone. Not his uncle and certainly not Bai Ze. After all, his closest friend was the cousin of the person he fell for. No matter how close they were, Bai Ze would not just happily give him his support. So, Shen Ji Yun could only keep his feelings within him. Luo Yan could imagine how stressful would that be.
That’s why the answer he gave him was probably akin to a driftwood given to a person close to drowning. With his assurance, the worry and fear he had been feeling was probably reduced by a lot. Thus, he could exude this much happiness. And Luo Yan was glad for that.
Luo Yan was indeed correct. Those were the reasons why Shen Ji Yun was feeling all giddy and joyful. In fact, hearing Luo Yan say those things almost made him confess to him right there and then. Good thing he managed to stop himself. He didn’t want to tell Luo Yan his feelings about him inside the game.
If he confessed, then he must do it in reality. How could he do it in a virtual world? He wanted a sense of reality. Where he was standing before Luo Yan, looking at his peach blossom eyes, and telling him all the emotions that had been brewing inside his heart – that’s what he wanted to do. For that he needed a lot of preparation. Something that would not lose to those famous proposals he found online.
Because his rabbit only deserved the best.
They entered the main office. Inside, one could see the same colorful designs that were prevalent in the amusement park. Of course, the sun and rainbow logo – which was the symbol of Tropical Land – was also displayed on the wall. They headed straight on the receptionist desk.
"Good day, dear guests, what can I do for you?" the female NPC asked.
"Hi. We’re looking for one of your employees. His name is Lhoris and he’s a moon elf just like me," Luo Yan said. "Could you please direct us to which part of Tropical Land he’s working and we could just go there ourselves."
The NPC appeared thoughtful, as if she was thinking if she should do their request of not.
Seeing her reaction, Luo Yan knew that he probably didn’t say the right keywords that’s why she was hesitating. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, an extremely worried expression appeared on his face.
"The Elder in our village sent a message to him. It’s very important. The Elder said that if I don’t deliver this message, Mr. Lhoris’ life might be in danger," he said in a very distressed tone. "Please, could you help us?"
The female NPC appeared to be affected by his words. Because she quickly said, "Okay. Please, wait, I will immediately check our database."
Luo Yan secretly smiled.
He suddenly realized how good he was at things like these. After playing the VR version of the game, he hadn’t really fully shown his skills as an Assassin and instead, he had been utilizing his acting skills more. The players who knew about him only knew him as that beautiful player who got a special race and was now connected to Yunyue. None of them haven’t seen his playing skill as an Assassin.
If it were before, Luo Yan would probably feel a bit down. After all, he did decide to play so he could get back the glory he had as the number one Assassin on the PvP list back when the game was still in its PC version. But now, he had been enjoying playing this VR version a little bit too much that he had already forgotten his initial intention. Not to mention that because of this game, he had met and got to know a lot of great people. Read complete version only at Nove1Fire.net
Of course, that included Shen Ji Yun.
But no matter, he would have the chance to finally show-off his skills at the Rookie Carnival. After he won that - yes, he’s shamelessly claiming that now – he would make his way onto the PvP ladder. His accumulating fame would only add prestige to team Yunyue. And everyone would know, how formidable Yunyue version 2.0 was.
"I apologize, dear guests," the voice of the female NPC cut the thoughts of Luo Yan. "It seems person name Lhoris resigned a little more than just a week ago."
Luo Yan’s expression almost crack when he heard that. Lhoris resigned? Then what was the point of them going to this place? No- wait, more than a week ago? "What day a week ago did he resign?" he asked the NPC for clarification.
"On Sunday, the 22nd of September," she answered.
That was the day they awoken Dusk!
Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun and the other also turned to him. Both of them could mostly see what the other was thinking at that moment.
That moon elf, Lhoris, most definitely ran off the moment the black dragon in the Silent Marsh awakened.
