Chapter 257 - SHOULD WE TEACH HIM A LESSON?
SHEN JI YUN walked back to the direction of the private box provided for their team with a dark expression on his face. He still couldn't get over from the whole 'Alucard debacle'. He still had the urge to go back and beat the hell out of that bastard. How dare he tried to hug Luo Yan? He hadn't even tried doing that and yet there's already someone who wanted to get ahead of him?
He really needed to vent this anger. A simple scolding was not enough. He had to find an opportunity when he could challenge that Alucard into a PK fight in the Arena without making it obvious that it was because of what transpired here in this pavilion. But before that, he should make sure that that bastard wouldn't have a chance to get close to Luo Yan in the future.
He suddenly wanted to pinch his forehead. He didn't know that being in love would be this complicated. It's like he had to guard against everyone. That's especially true when it came to Luo Yan. His rabbit was so beautiful, adorable, and interesting that anyone would want to be with him – men and women alike.
He made a fist. He just had to prove that he's better than all those people.
Soon, he arrived at their team's private box. He opened it and walked inside. The gnome was sitting beside Su Yuqi like some well-behaved kid while Bai Ze was playing with the little fox who, by the way, looked very unwilling.
When Shen Ji Yun entered the room, Eclipse immediately jumped from the table and into his arms. Bai Ze looked at the little fox who was happily nestling on his friend's arms. When he was playing with it, the fox always seemed like he's unhappy about something. But now that it was in Shen Ji Yun's arms, it looked like it would soar with happiness any second now.
Why did it feel like this fox was being completely partial? And the worse of it was, he was the one being disliked!
Bai Ze looked at Shen Ji Yun to complain but noticed that his expression was not good. "What happened to you? Why do you look like you've eaten a bitter gourd or something?"
Luo Jin raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun when he heard what his cousin said. But all he saw was his usual expressionless face. "He doesn't look any different though," he muttered in a low voice which was still heard by Su Yuqi who was sitting next to him.
"They've been friends since they were kids. Bai Ze could notice the tiniest change in his expression," she said in an equally low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"What is he, Shen Ji Yun's interpersonal interpreter?" he said incredulously.
Su Yuqi chuckled. "You could say that."
When Luo Jin heard this bell-like laugh, he couldn't help but glanced at Su Yuqi. Her big eyes were bent into crescents and her pinkish lips were in an upward curve. Seeing her like this, he felt like his heart just skipped a few beats. He immediately gazed down. Trying his best to calm himself.
Shen Ji Yun who just heard Bai Ze's question pondered if he should tell them what happened just now. It didn't take long before he decided that he should. Knowing how protective this gnome was over his brother, Alucard would definitely incur his wrath. Bai Ze, being Luo Yan's cousin would also feel the same. And since Su Yuqi accepted Luo Yan as part of their team, she would definitely cover him. The more people protecting Luo Yan against that vampire the better.
"I just saw the captain of team Sanguis trying to harass Yan Yan," he said, his face sinking again.
When Luo Jin heard that, the blushing heart beat he just felt immediately disappeared. It was quickly replaced by anger. "He actually dared? Does that wannabe vampire no longer want to live? I'll definitely beat the shit out of him!"
He stood up and was trying to leave but a soft hand suddenly held his arm. He looked down and saw Su Yuqi staring up at him.
"Calm down. You can't make a commotion here. Remember, your identity right now is an NPC. If you started a fight with a guest, then this pavilion would be the one to carry the brunt of the damage. It would waste all the effort your brother put into this," she reminded him. "And Ji Yun being back here meant that the situation was already handled. So, calm yourself down."
Luo Jin was still unwilling but he knew that Su Yuqi was right. He couldn't just let all the effort his brother put into this pavilion be wasted. Just looked at all of these. From those boats outside to the performance below, even the dishes that were being served, everything was prepared thoroughly by his brother. How could he let it all go to waste just because of his temper? So, even if he didn't want to, he forced to calm himself.
He sat back and looked at Shen Ji Yun. "What exactly happened?"
Shen Ji Yun told them about his guess that Alucard might have suspected that Luo Yan was not an NPC but the player Noctis instead. That's why the other was trying to take off the veil covering Luo Yan's face. But because of his timely arrival, he didn't succeed.
Bai Ze sighed. "That guy, Xu Ru, is a well-known playboy among the upper circles of B City. He doesn't mind if it's a man or a woman. As long as they aroused his interest, he would go after them. I'm afraid he might have already taken a fancy to our Xiao Yan."
Shen Ji Yun's face immediately darkened when he heard that. He had almost forgotten what Bai Ze had told them before. That this Alucard – this Xu Ru – was from B City. Maybe he should just forget about challenging him to a PK and just directly go and beat him up in reality. That way, the pain he would receive would be even much greater.
Luo Jin snorted. "Just let him try to go after Yan, I'll decimate him."
"Then how about we secretly teach him a lesson?" Su Yuqi suggested, a kind of sinister smile appearing on her cute little face.
