Chapter 1022 JI YUNʼS BIRTHDAY (VII)

1022  JI YUNʼS BIRTHDAY (VII)

SHEN LI frowned when he heard that, but the crease on his forehead became even deeper when he saw Shen Ji Yunʼs reaction. The usual expressionless face of the other was nowhere to be seen. In fact, one corner of his lips was slightly raised, almost akin to a smile. This was the first time he had seen Shen Ji Yun with such a look.

Since knowing the other, Shen Ji Yun always had one expression - which was none at all. He had been like that since childhood. Itʼs one of the reasons why most of the younger generations in their family didnʼt like interacting with him. Yes, the influence of adults was certainly there. But Shen Ji Yunʼs robotic attitude didnʼt really help either.

Children at that age would want to hang out with peers who were fun to be with. And add that to the fact that the older members of the family basically shunned Shen Ji Yun, the children thought that they could also do the same.

Shen Lin only found it troublesome, so he just ignored the other. Never bothering if their other cousins started to bully Shen Ji Yun. His younger brother, Shen Xin, wasnʼt any better. He would just look over with an amused expression, as if watching an interesting movie.

Now that they were all older, it was easy to see just how much childish everyone had been. Especially for Shen Lin, who was the oldest. But since the relationship they had with Shen Ji Yun already had cracks from the very beginning, it was now hard to mend it at this point in time. And he hardly thought that the other even needed it.

Still, as an older cousin, he couldnʼt just ignore this relationship reveal.

”Shen Ji Yun, can we talk for a bit?” Shen Lin said, gesturing with his eyes that they should speak with just the two of them.

Shen Ji Yun frowned and was about to reject it, but he felt Luo Yan squeezing his hand. He gazed down and saw the other giving him a reassuring glance, as if telling him that heʼs fine with him speaking to Shen Lin. So, he could only nod and walked a bit farther away so the two of them could have this ʼtalkʼ.

Luo Yan watched as the guy named Shen Lin followed Shen Ji Yun.

”Hello, Iʼm Tangtang, by the way,” the girl in front of him suddenly said. ”Youʼre so pretty. But you look a bit familiar. Have we met somewhere?”

Luo Yan didnʼt expect such a question. He had a pretty good memory, so he was sure that he hadnʼt met this girl. Not to mention, heʼs not originally from B City. He just smiled and responded, ”No, I donʼt think so.”

”But you look really familiar. Ah! Do you perhaps play Arcadia? Iʼm a casual player. Maybe the two of us met in the game?” the girlʼs eyes brightened, as if she was certain that this was indeed the case.

Luo Yan sweated a little. Since heʼs wearing a wig, he looked even more like his game avatar. But he had never thought that someone would come up to him and tell him that he looked familiar. He should have probably considered that since ʼNoctisʼ had been quite popular lately because of the Arcadia Cup.

So, he said without changing his expression, ”Oh yes, thatʼs a possibility. Arcadia is the crazed these days. Is there even anyone who doesnʼt play it?”

With his response, the girlʼs attention shifted to a different topic. ”Right? Thatʼs what I said to Brother Lin. But heʼs so stubborn and always says that heʼs not interested. How could a person not be interested in Arcadia?”

The girl ranted with puffed cheeks. Luo Yan wondered if this girl and that overly serious looking guy over there were romantically involved. Itʼs a bit fascinating because their personality was almost night and day. But then again, his personality wasnʼt exactly the same as Shen Ji Yun.

He glanced at the two men still talking. He hoped the two would finish their talk before this girl, Tangtang, recognized him as Noctis. Hopefully, she was only a casual player and didnʼt really pay attention to teams and the Arcadia Cup.

As soon as he thought of that, he saw Shen Ji Yun striding back here. The otherʼs expression was very bad, looking extremely pissed. In just a few strides, he arrived in front of him.

Before Luo Yan could ask what was wrong, Shen Ji Yun had already reached for his hand.

”Letʼs go, Yan Yan.”

And without waiting for his response, Shen Ji Yun pulled him out of the hotel.

”Bye, Yan Yan!~”

When Luo Yan heard Tangtangʼs call, he looked back and waved before he and Shen Ji Yun exited the hotel.

Tangtang smiled at that, thinking that the other was really pretty. Then she turned to the approaching Shen Lin.

”Brother Lin, did you fight with your cousin? You shouldnʼt do that. Fighting is wrong,” she admonished.

”We didnʼt fight,” Shen Lin said.

”Then did you make him angry?” Seeing as Shen Lin remained silent, Tangtang knew that she must be right. ”You probably nag him or something. Sigh. Brother Lin, you should really tone down with the nagging.”

Shen Lin just frowned. Especially when he remembered his talk with Shen Ji Yun just now. He warned the other about this girlfriend or whatever, telling him that he should be careful. But Shen Ji Yun almost growled at him and told him to mind his own business.

”But that girl really looks so familiar. I wonder where I saw her in the game. Actually, your cousin also looks familiar. Since theyʼre a couple, maybe theyʼre playing the game together.”

What Tangtang said caught Shen Linʼs attention. He also knew about Arcadia, hard not to when his uncle was the one who made it, but never really had an interest in playing it.

”Can you tell me more about this game?”

Sorry, late update again. >_<
