Chapter 759 - PASSING CONVERSATIONS
A DAY after the finals, Luo Yan and Luo Jin were back to school. The two haven't yet entered their respective teaching building but they could already here the students around them discussing the finals of Arcadia's Rookie Carnival.
"Have you watched the Rookie Carnival this weekend?"
"Yeah, how could I miss it? I even bought a ticket to the coliseum!"
"How lucky! I also tried to buy a ticket but it was already sold out. I could only watch the game from a live broadcast."
"That's such a shame. Watching it in the Floating Coliseum was definitely worth it. Even though I'm in my avatar form, I could feel my blood boiling because of excitement."
"I understand. I only watch the live broadcast and I was already on the edge of my seat. What more if I was there myself?"
While this side was talking about the matches, on the other side, a different kind of conversation was happening.
"Noctis is really so pretty. Look, I even made him my wallpaper."
"That shot is so nice, send it to me later. I'll also send you some pics I took during the match."
"Sure! I actually have tons of pics. Can you believe that Noctis actually doesn't have any bad angle? He's pretty wherever you look."
"I know, right? He's like a dreamy anime character. Really, his face was like a perfectly sculpted 3D model."
"With so many source material, Catnip would definitely have countless fan-art of him after this Carnival."
"Ah, you're also following Catnip? Me too! My favorite fan-art of her as of late is the one with NightCloud Cp."
"You as well?"
"Yeah! There's just something magical about her fanart of NightCloud CP."
"I think it's mainly because it's YUN and Noctis. The two are simply a match made in heaven."
"I agree. They just have this incredible chemistry. Ah, how wonderful it would be if they are really together in real life."
"They might face backlash if they really end up together but I will definitely support them!"
"I also feel the same."
Hearing such conversation, Luo Jin's frown deepened once more. When he heard the fan-arts, he had already frowned. But after hearing this 'NightCloud CP' and knowing that it pertained to the pairing of his brother and Shen Ji Yun, a deep line appeared between his brows.
He knew the name Catnip. Once when he, Bai Ze, and Su Yuqi went to Tropical Land to look for Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun, a cat beastkin accompanied them. The girl's game account name was 'Catnip'. He was just not sure if the Catnip these people were talking about was the same Catnip he thought of.
He gazed down at Luo Yan just in time to see the small smile that appeared on the other's face. He could immediately tell that his brother was in a good mood just by that. Also, the fact that Luo Yan must have known long before about this NightCloud CP.
"You must be feeling all happy hearing that," he commented with a dry tone.
Luo Yan raised his head and glanced at him. "Of course, I am. People are cheering for me and Brother Ji Yun, how could I not be happy?"
Luo Jin rolled his eyes and just wanted to change the subject. But before he could, he heard another bout of conversation.
"I also have a lot of pics of young master Jin. Do you want a copy?"
"I do! Now that you mentioned him, I remember again just how cute the young master is."
"Right? He's so cute and lovely! I really wish that the him in real life is not some muscular middle-aged man or my fantasy would be ruined. Although I know he wouldn't really be a child, I just hope he could be a petite and cute teenager."
"Let's not think about that and just keep the fantasy in our hearts. It's better that way."
"Yeah. I heard that young master is now also part of Yunyue. Don't you think he would be a good pair with Morganite?"
"Oh, yes, now that you said that, the two would really make a good pair. They're both so cute and lovely."
"Maybe we should request Catnip to make a fan-art of the two. It would definitely be wonderful."
Luo Yan's eyes were filled with amusement as he heard the conversation. He glanced at his younger brother and just as expected, the other was already blushing from cheeks to ears.
He couldn't help but tease him further. "Hmm… maybe I should also request a fan-art of a certain young master and a pink-haired pixie."
Luo Jin glared at him with red cheeks. Then, instead of saying anything, he just turned to the direction of the second year's teaching building before walking towards there.
Luo Yan only chuckled before walking to the third year's teaching building.
This coming Sunday, for the Duke of Heart's ball, all five of team Yunyue would attend. With five extra invitations – four from him and one from Luo Jin, the rest of their team didn't have to search on how to get their hands on an invite.
At first, Luo Yan was slightly worried because the invitations wouldn't be enough if they wanted to take his father, his older brother, and Yu Jiao with them. But his father said that he wouldn't be coming since, according to him, he's already too old for a ball.
With his father not coming with them, the invitations they had now fit their numbers. Too bad that Yu Jiao also decided not to go. She said that she wasn't really comfortable going to such events. Luo Yan wanted to convince the other to change his mind. But when he saw her resolute expression, he no longer tried.
Although Yu Jiao was trying very hard to come out of the shell she surrounded herself with, she was probably still not comfortable around such crowd. And because she decided not to go, his older brother also decided not to.
So, with that, the only ones who would attend was the whole team Yunyue.. Even so, Luo Yan was still very excited for this coming ball.
