Chapter 99 - I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE (1/2)

SHEN JI YUN typed on WeChat and sent it to Luo Yan.

[luckycloud]: Are you about to log in to Arcadia now?

He asked because this was the usual time that Luo Yan logged in to the game.

[YanYan1213]: No.  I'm doing some studying.  I'll play later after dinner.

[luckycloud]: Are you working on your summer homework?

After sending that, he sent a rabbit sticker with a question mark on its head.  He did it without even changing the expression on his face.  As if he just sent a normal message and did not do something so out of character.

[YanYan1213]: No.  I'm studying for my admission exam next week.

Admission exam?  By age, Luo Yan should be in third year of high school this coming academic school term which would be next month.  Why would he take an admission exam?

[luckycloud]: Are you going to transfer schools?

That's the only explanation Shen Ji Yun could think of.

[YanYan1213]: Not really.  It's kind of hard to explain without telling you my circ.u.mstances.

Circ.u.mstances?  Was it something serious?  He wanted to know.  But would it seem like he's meddling too much with his business?  He didn't want Luo Yan to think that he's such a busybody.  But-  At the end, he gave in and still asked.

[luckycloud]: What kind of circ.u.mstance?

[luckycloud]: But it's alright if you don't want to say it.  Sorry for being such a meddler.

Then he sent a crying rabbit sticker that was lying on the ground and drowning on its own tears.

Luo Yan sent back a laughing emoji.

[YanYan1213]: It's okay.  I don't mind telling Brother Ji Yun.

[YanYan1213]: I don't know if Brother Ze already mentioned this to you, but I was in a coma for seven years and just woke up a little bit more than four months ago.  I'm studying to take an exam that would automatically put me in third year high school, as I should be if not for the accident.  I don't want to be in a class full of grade schoolers, you know.  After all, I'm already 17.

Then he received a smiling emoji.

Shen Ji Yun stared at the words 'seven years', 'coma', and 'accident'.  Before he could think of anything, he already sent a video call request to Luo Yan.  After a few seconds, a beautiful face appeared on the screen.

The boy's face was small.  He had big peach blossom eyes surrounded by long black eyelashes.  His black hair looked naturally soft to the touch.  His skin looked as white as the most expensive porcelain.

This was the first time Shen Ji Yun saw Luo Yan's real face after more than a month.  Looking at him, there was that strange beating of his heart again.  But then he remembered the message he just read.  And an uncontrollable worry just filled him.
