Chapter 694 (1/2)
Chapter 694
If outsiders could enter this joint, they would be surprised by the joviality present here . In a world where death is only a few small mistakes away, it’s common to see joy in small bundles here and there, but, never in such a grand manner, at least, it’s very rare to see everyone smiling in one place .
Everyone forgot about clearing the death game, they forgot about mortality, and they forgot about the cruel reality . They teased each other, chatted with others, everyone lived in the moment…
Wu Yan also laughed with everybody, maybe it was worth it to pay for this joint .
The genuine smiles paid him back in fat dividends .
Still gleeful, Wu Yan turned towards Asuna who looked at him at the same time . The two crossed gazes and they saw each other’s thoughts without exchanging words between them . They burst out laughing at the same time .
Then, the hotel turned silent .
Wu Yan and Asuna looked at everyone after noticing a weird vibe .
Everyone stopped moving, they were looking at Wu Yan and Asuna intently, they are frighteningly focused on both of them .
Wu Yan and Asuna stepped back in sync .
“Wh-what are you guys doing?”
s.h.i.+on looked at Wu Yan and then she looked at Asuna . She kept glancing between the two before she spoke her mind .
“Just now, the two of you entered your own worlds, didn’t you two notice that?”
“Our own world…”
Asuna blushed slightly while Wu Yan’s lip twitched . He tried to laugh it off .
“O-oh, is that so? I didn’t notice…”
Liz stepped forward with a cheeky and curious grin .
“Oya, you two look like you have got something going on here…”
Liz said with ambiguous wordings but a look at her and one could tell she’s dead sure about her suspicion . Way before becoming an item with Kirito, she already picked up on Asuna’s feelings . After watching their interactions further, she was convinced . Right now, she obtained the perfect chance to use this against the two .
“Wu Yan-nii, you’re so mean…”
Silica pouted as she complained .
“You didn’t tell us about going out with Asuna-san, you’re as sneaky as the guild master…”
Asuna blushed even harder as she shook her head and hands .
“N-no! We aren’t going out!”
She did nothing to douse the growing flames of doubt . The others turned towards Wu Yan with sharp gazes .
“Onii-san…”
Sachi gave Wu Yan a choice .
“Come clean and you will get a lighter sentence, lie at your own peril…”
“What are you guys talking about…”
Wu Yan wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry .
“Where did you guys get the idea anyway? We are really not together or anything like that . ”
“Really?”
s.h.i.+on is the first one to question him .
“I don’t know, you two are very suspicious no matter how you sliced it…”
“What’s there to doubt?”
“A lot!”
Liz said with a hand on her waist, she pointed her index finger at Wu Yan .
“Think about it, Asuna treats you much better than when she’s around everyone else . ”
“Yeah! I noticed that too!”
Silica was hugging Pina with a tilted head .
“Asuna-nee-san is very strict to everyone in the guild . She’s kind to us but she’s way more compromising when you entered the discussion . She is also smiling and giggling more often when you’re around . I mean, she’s always looking at Wu Yan-nii with a warm gaze…”
Asuna entered a deeper shade of red with each word that came out of Silica’s mouth . When Silica was done, Asuna pretty much went through the entire spectrum of red color . She was also pursing her lips super-hard which made Wu Yan chortle .
Asuna, you’re voicelessly agreeing with what they are saying, you know?
Wu Yan knocked Silica on the head, she yelped but he snapped at her anyway .
“You little brat, where did you learn all this stuff?”
“I am not a little brat!”
Silica protested as she huffed .
Wu Yan rolled his eyes at her .
“What’s the bottom line?”
“Isn’t it clear?”
