Chapter 172 - THE ADVERTIS.E.M.E.NT (1/2)

SECOND time that day, Luo Yan once again appeared at the plaza of Goldcrest City.  Because it was already night time, the city lights were all opened.  Adding a certain kind of beauty to the city.

He opened his Status Window and sent a message to Shen Ji Yun's alt account.

Noctis: [Brother Ji Yun, I'm already here.  Where are you?]

SHEN: [I'm sitting on the seat outside the café at the West side of the plaza.]

Luo Yan immediately looked to that direction when he read that reply.  And he quickly saw Shen Ji Yun's game avatar.  Even though he looked like he would blend in with the darkness because of his all-black outfit, his blue eyes were like a beacon of light that could pull the attention of anyone.

He ran towards the café and sat on the seat opposite Shen Ji Yun.

”Brother Ji Yun,” he greeted and smiled.

Because the lower half of his face was not covered, everyone could see how beautiful he was.  And how that beauty bloomed even more with that bright smile.

Shen Ji Yun suddenly wanted to cover the rabbit's face.  Especially after he saw that most of the players near them blatantly stared at Luo Yan.  Some probably even took a screen shot.  He unknowingly let out a cold atmosphere, even staring coldly at some of the players around them.  It seemed to be effective since most immediately looked away.

Of course, Luo Yan noticed the sudden dropped in temperature.  He looked at Shen Ji Yun who seemed to be in a bad mood.  ”Brother Ji Yun, is something wrong?”

Shen Ji Yun stopped.  What was wrong with him?  Didn't he want to remove the mask on Luo Yan so he could clearly see his smile?  Then why did he suddenly feel irritated when he saw him smiling just now without anything covering it up?  Wasn't that what he wanted?

He shook his head.  He felt like he's becoming bipolar or something.  He wanted one thing and then the next moment, he wanted the complete opposite of it?  Should he go to a psychiatrist to have a check-up?  Maybe there's really something wrong with his brain and he just didn't know it.

How else would he have so many ups and downs in his emotion?  Something that didn't really happen.  Especially to someone like him who barely felt any emotion.  He'd been numbed to almost everything.  No matter what other people around him do, it couldn't get a rise from him.  That had been the case for 12 years now.  So for him, feeling all these varieties of emotions now was just weird.  And truth to be told, a bit scary.

Of course, he knew what changed.  It's because he met this rabbit that he's currently experiencing things like these.  What he couldn't understand was why Luo Yan had such an effect on him?

”Brother Ji Yun?” Luo Yan called again when Shen Ji Yun didn't answer his question.

Shen Ji Yun shook off all the complicated thoughts inside his head.  Why did it matter if he started to feel emotions now anyway?  Although it's kind of unwarranted, it's not something that would affect his everyday life.  He might felt irritated from time to time, just like now, but it didn't matter.  Truthfully, there's a small part of him that was glad for it.

Because it made him feel more like a human.

”It's nothing,” he answered Luo Yan.  ”By the way, you didn't encounter any problems while submitting the video?”

Although Luo Yan felt that it was definitely not 'nothing', he didn't pry and just shook his head.  ”No.  It went quite well.”

”What's the content of the video?” Shen Ji Yun asked curiously.

He knew Luo Yan shot the video for it last Saturday and Sunday evening.  He actually wanted to help, but Luo Yan declined.  Saying that he had to do everything himself.  Or else, it wouldn't really have the same meaning.

Shen Ji Yun wasn't even allowed to watch his filming.  Telling him that it's a surprise and that he should just wait patiently until the video streamed by Monday.  That's why he couldn't help but be curious.
