Chapter 166 - UNEXPECTED HAPPENING (1/2)

LUO YAN felt like he's in paradise.  In front of him was a long table filled with different kinds of cakes – there's a chocolate matcha pound cake, a raspberry pink velvet cake, a carrot cake, a chiffon cake, an angel food cake, an opera cake, a fruit cake, and many other more.

When he asked Shen Ji Yun where he wanted to eat, he thought they would be going to some restaurant serving traditional food.  He never expected that Shen Ji Yun would say that they should go to a cake buffet restaurant.  And thus, they were here, lining up in front of a buffet table, holding a tray.

Luo Yan knew that Shen Ji Yun picked this place not because he suddenly had a craving for sweets.  Every time they had VR meals, Shen Ji Yun never ate sweets.  So it's not weird to assume that he picked this place because of him.

He actually wanted to let Shen Ji Yun picked another place when he realized that his choice was solely based on his preference.  But then he saw the cakes and his brain was just filled with them and how they would taste.  He totally forgot what he was supposed to do.  Before he knew it, he was already lining up at the buffet table.

He'd actually been wanting to eat at this cake buffet restaurant for a while now.  But he'd been busy grinding levels, he didn't have the time to go around the city and do some food tripping.  Now that he's here, how could he just miss it?

He filled his tray with one of each kind of his favorite cakes until there were no space left.  He ended up with six slices.  He still felt that it's not enough.  Oh well, he could still come back later for more.  This was a buffet after all.  It would be such a waste if he wouldn't come for seconds.

”I already asked an NPC to give us a private room,” Shen Ji Yun said who was just behind Luo Yan.

Luo Yan looked back at him and was about to answer when he saw the one pitiful slice of cake that was on his tray.  ”You're only going to get one?”

Shen Ji Yun nodded.  ”Yes.”

Luo Yan sighed.  [See?  This guy definitely picked this place because of me.]  ”Let's just go and eat,” he could only say.

An NPC led them to a private room at the second floor.  Luo Yan sat down and put the tray on the table.  Shen Ji Yun did the same.

Luo Yan excitedly picked the slice of chocolate matcha pound cake and put it in front of him.  He then pulled down the fabric covering the lower half of his face.  He picked the fork and started eating.  The moment the cake entered his mouth, he felt like he just tasted a piece of heaven.

”Oh, right, Brother Ji Yun, I'll buy you another meal.  It won't count unless both of us are enjoying ourselves,” he didn't forget to say.  Because in this scenario, it's obvious that he's the only one enjoying himself.

”But I am enjoying myself,” Shen Ji Yun said.  And he really was.  Just watching Luo Yan with that look of bliss on his face as he ate his cake was truly a joy.  ”Though I won't decline another meal.”

”Next time we'll go somewhere you prefer,” Luo Yan said finishing the cake he's eating.

The corner of Shen Ji Yun's lips curved in an arc when he heard that.  Even his cold blue eyes softened.  ”Okay.”

Because Luo Yan was staring at Shen Ji Yun, he saw that slight change in his expression despite the black mask still covering the lower half of his face.  It just made the blue of his eyes pop out even more, making it appear much bluer than it usually was.

”Brother Ji Yun is mixed blood, right?” he suddenly thought of asking.
