Chapter 225 - IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL A...? (1/2)

”I—” Shen Ji Yun didn't know how to explain his blunder just now. It was because he was so entranced by the rabbit's face that he unknowingly said what he truly felt at the moment. Now, he only felt like an idiot. What if Luo Yan thought he was weird for saying that? After all, they only met yesterday. And now, he's suddenly saying that he missed him.

But it was the truth. No matter how weird it seemed. He really did miss him. Was this the effect of falling in love? It made your brain circuit abnormal? He didn't mind this abnormality. He's just worried that Luo Yan would be weirded out by him.

If he could, he truly just wanted to say; 'I like you, can we be together?'. But, of course, he couldn't do that. They've only met for two months. Their relationship was still fragile. With just one wrong move, that thin thread that's connecting the two of them together could easily be snapped. If he suddenly confessed his feelings to him, that's exactly what might just happen.

He might not only be rejected, Luo Yan might even be scared of him and avoid him for a lifetime. That's something Shen Ji Yun couldn't allow to happen. So, he had to at least make their connection deeper. To the point that they would have a natural tacit understanding. To at least manage to leave a mark in his heart. Even if that mark was only that of friendship. That way, even if he rejected him, they could at least remain friends.

As long as he still had a connection to him, even if they didn't end up together, he would be satisfied. Of course, that was just his own self-righteousness talking. Because no matter how much he said that he would be alright if he could only be friends with Luo Yan as long as he could stand beside him, deep down, it would still not be enough. So, he would do his best as to not be put on the friendzone.

Yes, he knew what 'friendzone' meant. He actually learned a lot of terms last night while browning the internet and reading various articles. He didn't even know that those words exist.

Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yun's red face. He then remembered that scene on the rooftop. He once again looked like a ripe apple. Because of the visual impact brought by his avatar, he looked even more delicious right now. Luo Yan shook his head. Why was he being perverted again? Was he seriously having an attraction towards Shen Ji Yun? But he only felt this way when he saw him blushed like that. Wait- didn't that mean that he just enjoyed seeing him embarrassed? Was his secret inner sadistic nature simply being triggered?

He shook his head. What bunch of nonsense was he even thinking? This was all Shen Ji Yun's fault. Looking like an iceberg beauty on weekdays but then suddenly blushing like a little girl. Of course, he would want to bully him. But was that really all?

He suddenly felt frustrated. He prided himself for being able to understand emotions quite well. But for some reason, he couldn't pinpoint the emotion he was feeling for Shen Ji Yun. It's like a very complicated puzzle. But he's not in a hurry to solve it. After all, there's still a lot of things that required his attention more. He'd just be patient. Naturally, this feeling would slowly reveal itself to him. That's better than doing some stupid experiment.

But if he thought of a better way, aside from molesting Shen Ji Yun, he'd definitely give it a try.

”Brother Ji Yun must be joking. We've only seen each other yesterday,” he just said as to not embarrassed Shen Ji Yun further.
