Chapter 383 - A COOL PERSON
AT the end, they ended up riding the river rapids for three more times. There was a system that once the player left the canoe-like boats their clothes that were splashed with water would automatically be dried up. So, it didn't matter how many times they rode the river rapids nor how many times they got splashed by water. They would still return to their original condition.
That's the only thing Shen Ji Yun was thankful for. Because if not, then he would definitely look worse than a wet chicken. Although even without that, he still felt uncomfortable all over. He didn't like how the boat was unstable or how the water would always splash into him. If this was in real life, he would probably have puked all his guts out already. Which he was really thankful for, by the way.
Since this was all happening in VR, he was able to prevent that lame side of his from showing. He was even thankful for the rabbit mascot suit. Because of this suit, Luo Yan didn't see his face stiffening every time the boat accelerated down the rapids. He really didn't want to show this kind of lame weakness to the other. It's probably just his own ego talking, but he only wanted Luo Yan to see his cool sides.
He looked at Luo Yan's who's now exuding a 'I am very happy' aura. Well, as long as he's happy. That's all that mattered, really.
"That was so much fun!" Luo Yan suddenly commented while they were walking out of the volcano river rapids area.
He turned to Shen Ji Yun who was walking beside him. The other's rabbit mascot suit's face looked even whiter than usual. No, it's probably more accurate to say that it's really pale. And since this rabbit mascot mirrored Shen Ji Yun's current emotion, it meant that, unlike him, he didn't enjoy the river rapids ride.
Luo Yan scratched the tip of his nose awkwardly. He should have known that that would be the case. Especially after their mystery coaster ride. Shen Ji Yun obviously didn't like the feeling of falling from a high point. That's why every time the coaster fell from one of the high bends, his whole body would freeze. As if he's readying his heart to what would come next. The same could probably be said for the river rapids ride. But because Luo Yan was having too much fun, he forgot that fact and didn't even notice it.
Shen Ji Yun was probably feeling so uncomfortable right now. He probably didn't utter a single word of complaint because he saw how much Luo Yan was having fun. Luo Yan didn't expect that he would be this thoughtless. Just because he's having fun, he ignored Shen Ji Yun's discomfort.
He probably should apologize for the four times he consecutively asked the other to ride again on the river rapid.
"Brother Ji Yun, sorry if I dragged you to ride through the river rapids four times," he started.
Shen Ji Yun didn't expect Luo Yan to suddenly apologized. He wasn't even sure what prompt him to do it. "It's fine. There's no need for you to say sorry."
"But Brother Ji Yun probably didn't like it. And yet, you still catered to my whims. That's why it's only right for me to say sorry when I was being thoughtless," Luo Yan said.
He was totally being serious. Although he loved teasing Shen Ji Yun, he didn't want it to be to the point where the other would end up all pale like this. And he also had another important thing to say that's why he said that.
"So, Brother Ji Yun, if you don't like a ride, just tell me. Then we would just pick another one which we could both enjoy. There's no meaning to it if it's only me who's having fun," he added. "I don't want to feel this kind of enjoyment at the expense of your own comfort."
Shen Ji Yun was startled. Because based on what he heard, it meant that Luo Yan knew that he was uncomfortable riding on the river rapids. That's why he's apologizing. Because even though he knew about his discomfort, he still pulled him to ride it for another three times. Which just showed that he was enjoying the ride too much to the point that he had ignored Shen Ji Yun's discomfort.
"No, it's okay. It's not that bad. I could endure it," he quickly said. "It's more important that you have fun."
How could he let his lame-ass weakness hinder Luo Yan from having fun?
Luo Yan reached out to one of the rabbit's arm. "But I don't want Brother Ji Yun to just endure it. I want you to have fun too. With me."
Shen Ji Yun couldn't help the smile that crossed his face when he heard that. "Then there's nothing for you to worry about. Because I always have fun whenever I'm with you."
This time, it was Luo Yan's turn to smile. This guy and his smooth lines. "But still, from here on out, I want you tell me if you feel any discomfort during a ride and not just bear with it, okay?"
"Yes, sir," Shen Ji Yun answered in a pampering tone. Then he thought of asking the other about something. "Yan Yan, you, do you think it's uncool that I'm uncomfortable riding those kinds of rides?"
"Of course not," Luo Yan automatically answered. "A person's coolness doesn't depend on whether they could do this or they could do that. It all depends on one's character. If someone has a rotten personality, then I wouldn't hesitate to label them as uncool. But Brother Ji Yun, you're not like that. You're cold, yes. But you're really warm inside. For me, you're one of the coolest person I know."
Shen Ji Yun suddenly felt like his heart was beating wildly inside his chest. Hearing such a compliment from Luo Yan made him feel some kind of unexpected joy. It's like he really was that cool person that the other was pertaining to.
His rabbit paw clutched onto Luo Yan's hand. "Yan Yan is very cool too."
Luo Yan smiled and said shamelessly, "Of course I am."
The two looked at each other and both burst out laughing.
