Chapter 345: CONVINCING (IRRITATING) THE HIGH PRIEST (1/2)

SHEN JI YUN was startled when he saw the tears that suddenly fell down Luo Yan's eyes. He only expected him to show to the High Priest that he was a moon elf so that the priest would be more inclined to help them. Although he had been threatening the NPCs here since earlier, he knew that he wouldn't be able to defeat everyone here no matter how powerful he was. Not to mention, this High Priest would definitely not be an easy opponent.

But he didn't want for his rabbit to suddenly cry. Those pearly tears were simply tugging at his heartstrings. It's like something heavy was pressing down on his chest. Before his brain could think more properly, his body already moved on its own. Pulling Luo Yan closed to him and cupping his face, wiping off the tears flowing down his soft cheeks.

”Sshh… don't cry. It's okay. Everything's going to be okay,” he said in the gentlest voice he could possible muster.

Luo Yan was equally startled by Shen Ji Yun's action. He even forgot to act for a second. He blinked at Shen Ji Yun. The other's face was full of worry and nervousness. He actually almost looked frantic. As if he didn't know what to do with seeing him crying.

”Brother Ji Yun, you do know I'm acting, right?” he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Because the other really looked like he believed that his crocodile tears were real.

Shen Ji Yun stopped his movements. It's like he suddenly remembered that they were in the middle of doing a task. Of course, Luo Yan was only acting. This was just him using his tears to guilt trip the High Priest into telling them where Rhys was. But even so.

”I know. But acting or no acting, I still don't like seeing you cry,” he said honestly.

Luo Yan stopped himself from smiling. Because if he did, it would totally ruin his acting. But seriously, how could this guy become more and more adorable as time passed by?

”Then Brother Ji Yun should just make sure that you wouldn't do things that could make me cry.”

”I wouldn't. I promised,” he said automatically, although he had no idea why Luo Yan would suddenly say that. But even if he didn't, he already made a promise to himself the moment he realized his feelings for Luo Yan that he would never make him cry.

[Ah, Mashter, although Eclipse is really proud of your acting skills and is really happy as well to see you and Captain sprinkling dog food, but Eclipse think that you should really get your attention back to the High Priest.] – Eclipse, who had to jump down on the floor when Shen Ji Yun pulled Luo Yan, suddenly interrupted.

Because of what Eclipse said, Luo Yan glanced secretly at the High Priest and saw him observing them. He turned back his gaze to Shen Ji Yun. ”Brother Ji Yun, we should get back to the task,” he reminded.

”Right. But no more crying,” Shen Ji Yun insisted.
