Chapter 234 - A DATE UNDER THE TREE (I) (1/2)

LUO YAN walked towards the blanket that Shen Ji Yun spread under the tree. The other already finished arranging the food. Luo Yan sat down on the blanket and also put down Eclipse.

”What is this place?” he asked while looking around.

”It's an island that I own,” Shen Ji Yun answered.

Luo Yan turned his head towards Shen Ji Yun, not expecting such an answer. ”Brother Ji Yun owns this island? That's amazing!”

Shen Ji Yun scratched his nose, his ear tips turning red as if embarrassed. ”Not really.”

”When did you buy this island?” Luo Yan asked full of interest. He didn't expect Shen Ji Yun to buy an island just based on the virtue of its appearance. Or maybe there's something special in this floating island that couldn't be seen with the n.a.k.e.d eye? He looked up at white leaves of the huge tree. Could it be this tree?

”I didn't buy it per se. My uncle gave it to me as a personal reward when our team won the first Arcadia Cup.”

Although Shen Ji Yun tried to refuse it because he didn't want his uncle to give him special treatment, his uncle still insisted for him to have it. Saying that he knew how much he enjoyed peace and quiet, so he could just consider this island as his secret base of some sorts. A sanctuary he could go to whenever he wanted to be alone. At the end, he had no choice but to let this island be under his game account.

He must say, his uncle still knew him the best. Because he did often go here whenever he just wanted to blank out his mind and think of nothing else. No one knew about this place. He set up the highest privacy setting here. So, no one could enter here without his permission. Even if a player who could fly passed by here, they wouldn't be able to see this island. Even Bai Ze, Su Yuqi, and their former two teammates didn't know about this place.

He glanced at Luo Yan. He was the first person Shen Ji Yun ever wanted to bring here. One of the things he read from those articles was that when one was trying to chase the person they liked, they should bring them to beautiful places to cultivate feelings. It would be even more effective if that place was special to them.

When he read that, the first thing that came to his mind was to bring Luo Yan here. Considering how they could only meet in Arcadia right now, this place was the closest thing to what he could call as 'special'. That's why when he had the chance earlier, he immediately asked Luo Yan to pay him for that meal he still owed him and then proceed on bringing him here.

Looking at Luo Yan's expression, he was glad that he did. Because it seemed that Luo Yan really liked this place.

”Your uncle must really spoil you a lot,” Luo Yan commented.

”Yes, even though I tell him so many times that he doesn't need to.”

”The two of you must be really close.”

A soft smile appeared on Shen Ji Yun's lips. ”I consider him as my second father.”

Luo Yan suddenly remembered that Shen Ji Yun's father was already dead and that his mother was living in another country, leaving him with his uncle. ”If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been living with your uncle?”
