Chapter 288 - SHEN JI YUNS DAYDREAM (1/2)

”I GUESS we wouldn't be able to finish this task today,” Luo Yan said when they were a few steps away from the Elder's yurt.

Although he already expected that, he didn't expect that the main reason would be because of his game level. He was only at level 79 right now. He needed another seven levels to be able to enter Alryne City. He probably could grind that level this coming week. But the problem was, he wasn't planning to play too vigorously this week. It's because of the two-day monthly exam that would be held on Thursday and Friday.

The third-year students in the high school department of Guizu Academy were required to take a mock exam every month. It was to prepare the students for the ever-dreaded College Entrance Examination. In fact, the learning environment at Guizu was pretty rigorous. The teachers were strict and had high requirements for their students. There's almost no day that the students didn't leave the classroom without any assignments in their hands.

Luo Yan had a particular laissez-faire attitude regarding studying. Because he had already learned all these things. It's like he's only taking a refresher course. Of course, that didn't mean that he wouldn't study at all. He's not some kind genius with an eidetic memory. He couldn't possibly remember all the things that he had learned more than a decade ago. But because he did already learn those things, it was much easier for him to learn them again. His learning speed would be, or course, much faster than his classmates.

That's why he's also not worried about the College Entrance Examination. Although those two days of examination was indeed hellish. Since he had already experienced it, there wasn't much pressure on his part unlike the others. After all, it's the exam that would dictate the future of the third-year high school students of this country. Their 12-year education was all for that one exam – to pass it and get into a good university.

But since he had already passed it once, he was not worried that he wouldn't be able to pass it again. So, despite being in the busiest year of high school, Luo Yan still had time to play games.

He, then, only noticed that Shen Ji Yun didn't reply to what he said. He turned his head to the side and looked at the other's handsome side profile. Although he still looked expressionless as always, his amethysts eyes didn't have any focus. As if he was in a daze. But what should he be in a daze for?

Eclipse who seemed to pick up his master's confused thought said, [Maybe Captain is thinking hard about how to solve the task.]

Luo Yan raised one of his brows and glanced at the little fox sitting on his shoulder. He thought this little guy would say something embarrassing again. After all, most of the words that came out of his mouth today were either praising Shen Ji Yun to an almost unbearable degree or shamelessly pairing Luo Yan up with the other.

[When did you become so sensible?] – he asked, teasing his little pet.

Eclipse immediately pouted. [Eclipse is always sensible. Eclipse is the most sensible kitsune in the world.]

Luo Yan could only chuckle. [Yes, yes, you are sensible.]

He the glanced again at Shen Ji Yun and noticed that he was still in a daze. ”Brother Ji Yun?” he called, trying to catch the other's attention. When Shen Ji Yun finally turned his head to him, he continued, ”Did you hear what I said just now?”

Shen Ji Yun seemed to wake up from daydreaming. Just now, his brain was filled with images of him and Luo Yan going to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. He even thought of their itinerary. They could ride the exciting rides first – like roller coaster and gyro tower, then visit some well-known attractions like the horror house - maybe if Luo Yan got scared he would hug him, eat amus.e.m.e.nt park food, and finally when the night comes, he would ask him to ride the Ferris wheel.

He read from one of the books he downloaded before that when you go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park for a date, you should put the Ferris wheel as the last destination. Because it's more romantic that way. Though he really couldn't understand why that was so. Since there's no harm in trying, why not just follow it?
