Chapter 548 - EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
LUO YAN showed a complicated expression. He suddenly had a feeling that this game was really hardcore shipping him and Shen Ji Yun. It was not enough that Eclipse, his in-game pet, was always pairing him with the other. And now they're even giving them couple items.
Not that he minded. Especially since these earrings were really beautiful. It definitely passed his aesthetic. And this type of item could really come in handy during some emergency situations.
He glanced at Shen Ji Yun. This guy would definitely be happy once he knew the purpose of this item. That's good. At least it would cheer him up and let him forget whatever sad thoughts he was thinking earlier.
"It's a communication device that can let two people who have each of the earrings to communicate with each other no matter how far apart they are. Then can also know if one is in danger," he started to explain. "According to the description, this pair of earrings were made by the moon goddess for her lover." He turned around and faced Shen Ji Yun. Then he leaned forward and smiled. "Don't you think it's like a couple's earrings?"
Shen Ji Yun, who was at first listening carefully to everything Luo Yan said, suddenly felt his whole face heating up the moment he heard that last part. He didn't know how to react. Because he wasn't sure if Luo Yan was just simply stating facts or suggesting to him that they should wear couple earrings.
He'd rather prefer it to be the latter. He read from one of those forums when he was still confused about his feelings that some couples used similar items and they called those things as 'couple items'. Like a couple rings, couple shirts, couple mugs. When he read about that, he was imagining how great it would be if he and Luo Yan could also have those things.
And now, it's really happening!
He couldn't explain the excitement he was feeling. It's like he suddenly won a prize in an event and that prize was something that he had been wanting to have for quite a while now.
But, was Luo Yan really willing to wear something like a couple's earrings with him?
Before he could ask that, Luo Yan spoke once again.
"Brother Ji Yun doesn't dislike this reward, right?"
"Of course not," Shen Ji Yun quickly said. In fact, he liked it too much.
Luo Yan smiled. Seeing the red tint on the other's cheeks that still hadn't subsided, he was kind of glad that this was the reward that they received. At least, it could cheer up Shen Ji Yun even just a bit. He probably should also do something to cheer him up and let him forget those sad thought even if for a moment.
"Then can Brother Ji Yun help me wear one of the earrings?" he asked, smiling up at him.
Since this was a game, even if he didn't have a piercing, accessories such as an earring would just be automatically put on once the item was near the part of the body where one wanted to put it. The same goes for necklaces and bracelets.
Help him wear one of the earrings? Shen Ji Yun had to make sure that he heard it right just in case he was actually just imagining things. After all, he had done a lot of those kinds of 'imagining'.
"You mean, you want me to put the earring on you?"
Luo Yan chuckled hearing the uncertainty in Shen Ji Yun's voice. Because he made it seem like he just had an auditory hallucination. It was too obvious that the other didn't believe what he said just now.
So, Luo Yan put a couple of strands of white hair behind his right ear. He then looked sideways and raised the said ear towards Shen Ji Yun. And then, he gave the other the box holding the earrings.
Shen Ji Yun looked at the box in his hand stupidly and then raised his head to look at the Luo Yan's delicate pointy ear. He had never seen such a beautiful ear. He gulped. Should he just do it?
"Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan called, as if telling him, 'hurry, put the earring on me'.
He ne longer hesitated. He opened the box and take out one of the earrings. Then he gently put it on Luo Yan's right ear. His only thought right then was – 'how soft'. He really wanted to rub the other's earlobe for a few seconds more. But he didn't want to be thought of as a pervert, so he reluctantly let go.
"Thank you, Brother Ji Yun!" Luo Yan said once the earring was put on him. "Does it look good on me?"
"Everything looks good on you," Shen Ji Yun said. He did it in such a straightforward manner that it's like he was saying the most natural thing.
Luo Yan shook his head. Really, this guy could just turn on his hidden Casanova at random times. And he didn't even notice that he did it. When a handsome guy, who happened to also be the person you liked, told you such things, even he would feel a bit shy. Really, what a danger to society.
He stared at Shen Ji Yun and an idea popped into his mind. He smiled playfully. Should he also tease him back?
"Can I also put the other earring on you?" he asked.
Hearing that, Shen Ji Yun felt inexplicably shy. Just the thought of his rabbit touching his ear could already make him blush. But still, it made him feel excited. Even if Luo Yan wouldn't really touch his real ear and just his avatar's, his excitement still couldn't be contained. But despite that, all he could say at the end was;
"Ahm."
Luo Yan stared at the other's downcast gaze and the red tint that was blooming on his cheeks. He couldn't help but appreciate this scene just a tad bit more. Ah, how pretty.
He took out the other earring and then chose to put it on Shen Ji Yun's left ear. After putting it on the other, he didn't let go of his ear and instead rubbed his earlobe.
"It seems everything also looks good on Brother Ji Yun."
And just as he thought, Shen Ji Yun's face quickly turned into a ripe tomato.
