IT'S ME
SILLY rabbit?
Luo Yan couldn't help but frown. Did this guy have mistaken him for someone? But then, for some reason, he felt like he heard this moniker from somewhere. Even the eyes of this person felt eerily familiar. Could he have seen it somewhere?
He stared at the guy. He was tall, probably at least 190 cm. His hair was black and he was wearing all-black. Even the lower half of his face was covered by a black mask. The only thing visible on his face was that pair of electric blue eyes. But even then, one could easily tell that his facial features were good and that he's definitely a very handsome young man.
"Sorry, but you probably got the wrong person. So, could you let go?"
This time, it was Shen Ji Yun's turn to frown. The innocent atmosphere he had when they first met was gone. He had a certain sharpness in him that totally offsets his beautiful appearance. Then he remembered that fight he had at the Arena yesterday. All his movements were crisp and decisive. It's definitely not something a simple beginner could do. Once again, he couldn't help but wonder if he truly got the wrong person.
But before Shen Ji Yun could analyze things further, he was once again kick on the shin. He looked down at the angry gnome and when he saw that he was planning to kick him again, he reluctantly let go of the white-haired elf's arm and stepped back to avoid the gnome's short leg.
Luo Jin put himself in between his second brother and the strange masked guy. He raised his head, glaring at the guy. This jerk was definitely some pervert attracted by his brother's beauty. If not, then how could he just grab Luo Yan with no rhyme or reason? Unless he wanted to attract his brother's attention. How could Luo Jin just let that happen? He's here to protect his brother against all kinds of pervert after all.
"Stay away from my brother, you pervert!"
Shen Ji Yun's face was suddenly filled with black lines. For the two decades that he lived in this world, this was the first time that he was called a pervert. Under normal circumstance, he probably wouldn't care much. But he was called that in front of a person he's suspecting to be the silly rabbit. For some reason, he didn't want
Shen Ji Yun glanced coldly at the annoying gnome. "I'm not a pervert."
"Hah, says the guy who suddenly grabs people at the middle of the street," Luo Jin immediately retorted.
Shen Ji Yun felt like a vein on his forehead suddenly popped. Could he just throw this annoying gnome away from here? Throw him very very far away so he wouldn't meddle with his conversation with the silly rabbit. "Maybe you're only thinking that way because you have a dirty mind."
"I have a dirty mind? You probably should find a mirror then you'll see the wretched look on your face!" Luo Jin growled.
Shen Ji Yun's face darkened. He clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to calm himself. He could feel himself losing his temper already and wanting to kick this gnome. If he continued to fight with this shrimp, he felt like his IQ would drop immensely. He couldn't believe that he would act so immaturely. Never in his life would he think that one day he would argue with a gnome trying to convince them that he's not a pervert.
So, he stopped. And just turned his attention back to the silly rabbit.
Luo Yan didn't seem to notice the focused gaze of someone. It's because his attention was solely on his younger brother. Luo Jin was just so cute, standing in front of him, trying to act like a knight. But in truth, he looked more like a fierce porcupine with his hairs standing on end.
He put his hands on his brother's shoulders and gently held him back. "Okay, don't fight with him Ah Jin."
Luo Jin raised his head and looked at him. "But Yan--"
"Maybe this player here was just trying to ask us something." Luo Jin pursed his lips and harrumphed in dissatisfaction. Luo Yan did everything in his power to resist the urge to pinch his brother's cheeks. Instead, he turned to the player. "Do you need something?"
The alienation in his tone was pretty evident. Somehow, Shen Ji Yun didn't like that. But more than that, how different this white-haired elf was from the silly rabbit he met. But he didn't doubt that they were two different people. After all, just the presence of this gnome was evidence enough to prove that he was really the silly rabbit. Not to mention, the names that the two called each other was pretty consistent with the names he heard that day.
Standing here in front of him, there's a certain maturity in him that he didn't see when they first met. All Shen Ji Yun saw back then was a cute little guy. Naive and innocent. But seeing him now, there's definitely nothing naive or innocent about him. Especially if he take into account that fight he had yesterday at the Arena. This game could only change the physical appearance of the players to a certain extent. It could never change the player's temperament.
Somehow, Shen Ji Yun was not disappointed at all by that discovery. In truth, that small spark of interest inside him ignited even brighter.
"Are you Luo Yan?" he asked, going straight to the point.
Both Luo Yan and Luo Jin froze when they heard that. Luo Yan was puzzled on who this guy could possible be. He hadn't interacted much with other people, except for his family, since he woke up from the coma. Most of the people he interacted with were from the hospital when he was still admitted there. Could this guy be from the hospital?
Luo Yan decided to just ask instead of continuously wondering who this guy was. "Do we know each other?"
The young man removed the mask covering the lower part of his face, revealing a tall nose and thin lips. Along with his blue eyes, it was definitely one very handsome face. "Do you still remember me?"
Hearing that question and seeing that face, something just suddenly clicked inside Luo Yan's brain. "Brother... Ji Yun?"
An almost imperceptible smile crossed Shen Ji Yun's lips when he heard the silly rabbit say his name. "It's me."
