Chapter 159 - LUO YANS MUSINGS (1/2)

AFTER a quick shower, Luo Yan logged in to Arcadia.  He didn't notify Luo Jin about it and just logged in on his own.  It's weird but he just really wanted to meet Shen Ji Yun as quickly as he could.  Maybe because he wanted to thank him for his gift as soon as possible.  Or maybe he just wanted to see him in general.

Was he really that touch by the gift he received?  Well, if one received a customized music box, wouldn't they be happy?  Luo Yan was.  He didn't mind that the music that came out of the box was the same one he danced to inside that blue door.  Something that he seriously just wanted to erase from his memories.  He didn't even mind that Shen Ji Yun used a rabbit to depict him.

But seriously, in what world did Shen Ji Yun see him as a harmless, cute, fluffy white rabbit?  Okay, he could agree with 'cute', but he would never agree with 'harmless'.  Despite him being physically a weak chicken, he could still do damage to others if he wanted to.  And Shen Ji Yun had seen his black-bellied side.  He didn't bother to hide it from him.  Now that he thought about it, he wondered why?  Maybe because he already instinctively considered him as a close friend.

It's a surprise, really.  He never thought of revealing his true self to his three roommates in college.  Until their graduation, they never knew the real him.  He didn't mind showing it to Luo Jin because his family.  Truthfully, he also wouldn't mind if his father and older brother found out about it.  Because he was sure they would still accept him.

Then what about Shen Ji Yun?

The only reason Luo Yan could think of was because he was comfortable around him.  Maybe it's because of Shen Ji Yun's awkwardness, the way he couldn't properly express himself so he could only hide in his cold exterior.  Luo Yan could relate to that.  Because he also struggled socially in his first life.  Until he found a way to fit in.  To use everything – his appearance, people's emotion, the environment – to his advantage.

He just shook his head.  So, back to the original question; how did Shen Ju Yun see him as a rabbit?  He could understand if it was because of his weird fascination with rabbits.  Seeing how he always sent rabbit stickers whenever they exchange messages in WeChat.  But if that was the case, then why was the other one a qilin and not a rabbit?

Obviously, the rabbit was him and the qilin was Shen Ji Yun.  Then he suddenly remembered what happened when the two of them first met during his older brother's graduation rights.  When Shen Ji Yun left, he pinched his cheek and called him 'silly rabbit'.  So, did that mean that his first impression of him was that of a 'silly rabbit' and somehow, even after knowing the real him, it somewhat stayed?

Luo Yan grimaced a little.  Although he did act like some silly sweet when they first met, he didn't expect that the impression he left was so deep that even until now Shen Ji Yun still saw him as that silly sweet rabbit.  He didn't know what to feel after he came up with that conclusion.

Maybe he should ask him about that.

He then appeared inside Yunyue's headquarters.  Instead of going straight to the main hall, he walked out the palace and sat down near the edge of a cliff overlooking the view down the mountain where the headquarters was located.  In front of him was the view of a lush green forest.

This was really a good location for a palace like this to be built.  In a real estate term, this would be considered a prime location.  Did Shen Ji Yun got this because of his identity as the nephew of the president of Moonlight Media?  No.  That guy was not the type to use his identity to get what he wanted in this game.  If it was, then rumors about Yunyue being fallen warriors wouldn't circulate like that for years.  No one probably knew the player YUN's real identity.  Who would want to badmouth the team of the nephew of Moonlight Media's president?  He probably got this location through sheer hard work.

Speaking of location, he still hadn't decided where to put the Yuexing Pavilion he got as one of the rewards for perfectly clearing the blue door.  He hadn't canvas any location yet.  Because after his exam, he grinded levels like some maniac.  He spent most of his time in the game trying to level up.  Because he knew he wouldn't have that much time once school started.

Now he's currently at level 68.  He could now enter the third city of Arcadia – Goldcrest.  Only players level 61 and above could go there.  The first thing he did once he entered the city was buy a new costume that would suit the [Lunam Robe] Shen Ji Yun gave him.  It was easy since there were a lot more shop in Goldcrest City.
