Chapter 317 UNEXPECTED INTRUDER

THE first thing Luo Yan thought of when he saw Shen Ji Yun was – thank God Luo Jin already left.If his younger brother was here, he would definitely make a fuss because of the other’s presence.Thinking that Shen Ji Yun was only here because he wanted to take advantage of his second brother.

Although Luo Jin’s instinct was proven to be correct, like how Shen Ji Yun wasn’t really looking at Luo Yan as a friend.It didn’t mean that the other would take advantage of him.In fact, since they knew each other, Shen Ji Yun had never done something like that.Heck, this cinnamon roll probably had no idea how to take advantage of him.It’s probably more likely for him to take advantage of the other than otherwise.Of course, that didn’t include this hidden Casanova’s flirtatious outburst.

Then Luo Yan caught himself.What exactly was he thinking?Being glad that Luo Jin already left, wouldn’t that mean that he wanted to be left alone with Shen Ji Yun?He shook his head and just smiled at the other.

"Brother Ji Yun, you’re here," he greeted.

Shen Ji Yun felt like he was suddenly blinded by that smile.They hadn’t interacted like for almost a week.Although he was sending him messages through WeChat, he couldn’t overdo it.Since Luo Yan had exams, he didn’t want to bother him too much.So, even though he wanted to send him a message at least every hour, he had to control himself.In fact, he only let himself to video call him earlier today.Because he knew that he was already done with his exams.

Then he did that immature thing of hanging up on him.After that, he tried to apologize but he didn’t receive any reply at all.Thinking that Luo Yan was probably mad at him, so, he sent him messages one after another.It took a while before he realized how annoying his messages must have been.If he didn’t, he would probably have bombarded Luo Yan’s WeChat inbox with his messages.

Then he thought he shouldn’t probably jump to conclusions. Maybe Luo Yan was just playing Arcadia that’s why he hadn’t replied to him yet. Hoping that that was truly the case, he didn’t bother him anymore.

He had to attend another important lecture, so he hadn’t seen Luo Yan’s reply after his lecture was finished.Seeing that he wasn’t mad at him, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.But he still had to ask him in person, or at least, virtually in person, to make sure.

Shen Ji Yun knew that today was the public opening of Yuexing Pavilion, so he was certain that Luo Yan would be here.That’s why after he returned home, he immediately logged into the game.And just like he thought, his rabbit was really here.

He walked inside and sat beside Luo Yan.Eclipse, who just finished eating his Mana fruit, excitedly jumped on his lap.He didn’t mind and just ruffled his fluffy head.He already kind of got used to the little fox’s presence.Besides, he’s Luo Yan’s pet, so, he had more patience for him.

"Yan Yan, I’m sorry again for what happened this morning," he said, not wasting time.

Luo Yan stared at the other’s serious face.Then he remembered the lame reasoning he gave on why he hung up on him.He almost laughed because of that.Good thing he stopped himself in time.He didn’t want to expose his lie.That he already knew that he was just being a vinegar jar again.

"I already told Brother Ji Yun that it’s okay.I’m not even angry in the first place," he said.Then he poured him tea."Here, drink this.You will definitely like it."

Shen Ji Yun said his thanks and drank the cup of tea.His eyes widened a bit when he tasted it.Because he immediately felt refreshed when he did.It’s like he just soaked himself into a hot spring, washing away all the tiredness and stress he was feeling.

"It’s good," he couldn’t help but comment.

Luo Yan smiled proudly."Right?I already have a feeling that it’s going to be a big hit in my pavilion."

"Is this a new product?" Shen Ji Yun asked, drinking another sip of the tea.Because the last time they were here, the pavilion didn’t serve this tea.

"It’s actually a special concoction made by Bian Que.Remember that he made a business deal with me?Well, from now on, he would be supplying tea to the pavilion.He’ll get 60% of the income from the tea and I’ll get 40%.Considering how good the tea was, it was a pretty good deal.Right?"

Shen Ji Yun had a hard time swallowing down the sip of tea he just drank when he heard that.So, this was made by that Alchemist?Thinking that the other had been alone with Luo Yan made him feel very unwilling again.Then he remembered what he just said to himself this morning.

Be more mature.

So, he took a deep breath and washed away what he was feeling.Because, really, there’s really no need for him to feel that way.Or did he plan to not let Luo Yan interact with other people?Of course, he couldn’t do that.He wouldn’t be much more different from a monster if he did.Besides, his rabbit would definitely hate him if he ever did something like that.That’s even worse than being thought of as a monster.

At the end, he nodded and said, "Yes, it’s a good deal."

Luo Yan was slightly surprised when he heard what Shen Ji Yun said.He truly thought the other would give him a cold face again.Because he suddenly became silent when he mentioned Bian Que.Thinking of how much of a big vinegar jar this guy was, he already had a guess on what was going through his mind.But to his surprise, he didn’t do what he expected.

He looked amusedly at Shen Ji Yun.Was his little cinnamon bun finally growing up a little?He stopped.What ’his’?Damn.This train of thought was definitely dangerous.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was interrupted when he heard a knock on the door of the private box.He thought it was Madam Ru.Because he told her earlier to go and inform him once she confirmed that Bian Que was here.

So, he didn’t hesitate to say, "Come in!"

But to his utter surprise, the one who entered was a young woman with long aqua blue hair.Her skin was as white as a smooth pearl.She had fins and gills but those things didn’t detract from her beauty.And her pair of light blue eyes were currently staring full of focus at Shen Ji Yun.As if he was the only person in the world that could enter her eyes.

Luo Yan immediately recognized her.The captain of team Sirens – Nereid.
