Chapter 320 - I WILL SLICE YOU
LUO YAN stared incredulously at the girl standing at the opened door of the private box. Doesn't this girl, Nereid, like Shen Ji Yun? At least that's the impression he got from the conversation she witnessed between her and her team mates a week ago. So, why was she suddenly being so antagonistic towards Shen Ji Yun?
Right now, she was looking at Shen Ji Yun as if he was an ant under her foot. Where was that blushing girl who was being all shy when being teased by her team mates? Was that all just an act? Or was the way she was acting right now the fake one? If it was the former, was there really a need to deceive her friends? Luo Yan didn't think so. But if it was the latter, was this her way of getting Shen Ji Yun's attention? If that was the case, he must say that's it's not really very effective.
He glanced sideways at Shen Ji Yun. Just looked at the other's slightly frowning face. It was obvious that he was getting very impatient. He wouldn't even be surprised if he suddenly threw the girl out himself.
Then Luo Yan suddenly remembered something. Didn't one of those girls from team Sirens mention that this Nereid couldn't help but act like a queen whenever she met Shen Ji Yun? Remembering that piece of information, he finally was able to solve the mystery on why this girl was acting like this. So, was this her acting like a queen?
Wait- did that mean that she always acted like this whenever she met Shen Ji Yun? Wasn't she just being a super, duper, extreme tsundere? No wonder one of her team mates said that she was not making any improvements.
If this was her way of chasing Shen Ji Yun, then nothing would really happen. Considering how this guy beside him never cared for people's appearance, then her beauty wouldn't attract Shen Ji Yun. The only thing left was her personality. But if she always acted like this, then if there come a time that Shen Ji Yun ever remembered her, he would only think of her as an annoying woman who loved to pick a fight with him.
He wasn't sure if this girl should be grateful that Shen Ji Yun seemed to not remember her. But thinking of the other things that those team mates of hers said, the reason why she started playing Arcadia was Shen Ji Yun and that she also went to the same university as him. Despite doing all those things, Shen Ji Yun seemed to still not recognize her.
Now, all the irritation Luo Yan felt at the start completely disappeared. He couldn't help but feel pity for the poor girl. How could he not? This girl obviously had problems expressing her real feelings. Heck, Shen Ji Yun who also had low EQ was even a million times better that her in chasing the person he liked. The way she was now, there's probably no way she could hope that her feelings would ever be returned.
Not that it would change anything. After all, the one Shen Ji Yun liked was him. Luo Yan felt unprecedented pride because of that. He almost cringe. What was he being so proud of? This was not some competition or something.
The fleeting look of pride on Luo Yan's face was caught by Zhu Lian. So, in her eyes, it seemed that this white-haired elf was sneering at her for being stupid. Her nerves were already so tight because of her mistake just now. Looking at this beautiful elf who was sitting so closely beside Shen Ji Yun, thinking that he must have been mocking her just now, her brain felt like it just caught a fever and she couldn't think properly.
"What do you think you're looking at? Do you think you have the right to look at me like that?" she said in a slightly more aggressive tone.
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. Was his look of pity really obvious just now? He was about to answer when he saw Shen Ji Yun suddenly standing. He raised his head and stopped when he saw the dark expression on the other's handsome face.
[Oohhh… Captain is angry. Will he cut that fish girl?] – Eclipse commented.
Because of Eclipse's sudden comment, Luo Yan had no time to stop Shen Ji Yun. When he looked back at him again, he was already walking towards Nereid.
Shen Ji Yun only planned to let this intruder girl go out at first. But he didn't think she had the audacity to talk to his rabbit like that. She was the one who came in barging in here and she dared to talk down to them as if they were the ones who had no right to be here. He could let it go if she only targeted him. But it would be another matter if it involved Luo Yan. There's no way he would allow anyone to talk to his rabbit like that right in front of him.
Zhu Lian saw the expression on Shen Ji Yun's face. It was black as if it could bleed ink. She was surprised at first. Because this was the first time she ever saw any kind of expression on his face. Then, she became scared. Because of the dark look in his amethyst eyes. As if he was about to crush her into pieces.
With every step he took forward, she couldn't help but step back. Until she realized that she was completely outside the private box.
"Don't barge into someone's territory as if you have every right to do so and then proceed on talking down to people like some entitled brat," Shen Ji Yun said coldly. "Next time you do, don't do it front of me. Especially not in front of my important companion. Because if you do," he leaned forward, making sure that their eyes were on the same level. Then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I will slice you."
Then he closed the door to her face.
Zhu Lian felt her knees trembled and she almost fell back. She knew that he was only talking about attacking her in the game. But she felt like he would also not hesitate to do that in real life.
She wasn't sure how she managed to walk out of there. She felt like she just lost her soul or something.
"Sister!" called a familiar voice.
When she saw Zhu Jingyi running towards her, the tears she had been holding in finally fell down. "Ah Yi…"
Zhu Jingyi quickly ran towards her older sister. When she saw her tears, her face completely darkened. She cupped her sister's face and wiped away her tears. "What's wrong? Did that bastard YUN do something to you?"
Zhu Lian shook her head. If ever, she was the one who did something wrong. She made Shen Ji Yun angry. And she now only realized that it was because of how she spoke to that white-haired elf. It was only then that Shen Ji Yun really reacted.
But who exactly was that overly beautiful elf?
