Chapter 175 - HIS AND HIS THOUGHTS (1/2)
WHEN Shen Ji Yun's victory was shown on the huge screen hanging above the ring, the crowd cheered. It seemed like they didn't mind at all that the fight didn't even last for 10 minutes. Probably because most of them were in awed of how Shen Ji Yun beat his opponent so easily despite him having a lower level. He didn't even let the other guy land a blow on him!
”How come I've never heard of this player SHEN? With his skills, he should be in the top list of the PvP rankings,” one of the players on the audience area said.
”I think so as well. I have a guess though as to why,” said his companion.
”What is it?” asked the other, full of curiosity.
”I think he's just using an alt account and that he's probably one of the great gods in the game.”
The one who asked seemed to become enlightened when he heard that. ”That's definitely highly probable. No wonder he's so strong. But wouldn't that mean that the fight had been unfair to the other guy since the very beginning?”
His friend shrugged. ”Well, that guy could only blame himself for angering a great god.”
[Well, that's true. In more ways than one.] – Luo Yan thought when he heard the conversation between the two players.
He looked back at the stage and saw that Shen Ji Yun already jumped off of the ring. He automatically looked in his direction. As if he just instinctively knew where he was. When his startling blue eyes met his, the ice in them seemed like it thawed, making gentle waves. As if the snow in Winter melted and Spring came.
Luo Yan's heart suddenly started to beat uncontrollably. He could even feel his whole face heating up. He unconsciously looked away and then clutched his chest. What the heck was that?
Before he could calm himself, Shen Ji Yun already appeared in front of him.
”Yan Yan,” Shen Ji Yun called.
Luo Yan frowned. He didn't know if it was just him but it's like even Shen Ji Yun's voice when he called his name just sounded so gentle.
Shen Ji Yun didn't miss the abnormal blush on the rabbit's cheeks. Although it looked really adorable, he's worried that he might not be feeling alright. ”Are you okay? Your face is red.”
Luo Yan felt even more embarrassed. He didn't even know why he was blushing! He was scrambling to think what to answer when he felt the gazes drilling behind his back. He could even hear the murmurs around him.
Shen Ji Yun must have noticed his uncomfortable expression, because he suddenly grabbed his hand. When he raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun with confusion, the other only said; ”Let's get out of here.”
Before he could say anything, the surroundings immediately turned dark and he felt that familiar feeling of being sucked into a vacuum. The moment he opened his eyes again, they were already in front of their team headquarters.
”Are you really alright?” Shen Ji Yun asked again.
”I'm fine. Maybe I'm just feeling a bit hot.”
That's probably the lamest excuse he had ever thought of. But looking at Shen Ji Yun's trusting expression, he seemed to really believe what he just said. And now he felt a bit bad. But what could he say? That his face suddenly heated up because of the way he looked at him? No way he would say that. He probably just had been caught off guard anyway.
