Chapter 909: TO THE SKY RAILWAY

Chapter 909: TO THE SKY RAILWAY

SINCE today was Christmas, both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun decided to go on a date. It's a day to celebrate with your special someone after all. It would be such a shame if the two of them didn't even meet for such a special day. And since they couldn't do that in reality, they could only meet up inside the game.

But that was fine. Meeting up like this was definitely much better than not meeting at all.

That's why Luo Yan was waiting for Shen Ji Yun on the other's island right now. He was a bit earlier than their supposed meeting time. He actually thought that the other would be already here even if the time was still a bit early. That was usually the case whenever the two of them met like this. But surprisingly, he arrived first before the other.

Before teleporting here, Luo Yan spent some time first with Eclipse. They went to the kitsune village. The NPCs were also celebrating Christmas, so it was the same in the village. The place was also filled with Christmas decorations all around.

He had dinner with Eclipse and his aunt – Shirayuki. After that, he left for his appointment with Shen Ji Yun. He thought that Eclipse would throw a tantrum because he did not take the other with him. But surprisingly enough, Eclipse didn't have that much of a negative reaction.

Luo Yan remembered what the other said when he told that he and Shen Ji Yun would go out on a date.

[Hmp. Fine. Both Master and Captain are still at the early stage of your relationship, so Eclipse won't bother your sweet time together.]

The kid's expression when he said that was like silently saying, 'I'll just wait until you get tired of each other, then you'll have no choice but to spend time with me'. Luo Yan almost spank the brat on his backside because of that.

After continuously shipping him and Shen Ji Yun, now that the two of them were officially together, Eclipse was suddenly wishing for them to get bored of each other. What a fickle child.

He shook his head. If he didn't know that it was just the other's way of sulking, he would have really scolded the other. Well, he's also a bit at fault for this. Because after he and Shen Ji Yun started dating, he spent most of his time in the game with the other. Whether it be grinding levels or just simply spending time together, he was always with Shen Ji Yun. No wonder Eclipse was feeling all alone.

He probably should spend some alone time with the kid after this.

As he was thinking about that, he heard a familiar whirl in the air – a sign of someone teleporting. There's only one person who could teleport directly to this island. So, he excitedly turned around and just as he expected, Shen Ji Yun stepped out of the teleportation portal.

The other came using his SHEN avatar. So, instead of a Qilin, his avatar was now that of a human. Luo Yan was the one who requested it. He didn't want their date to be interrupted by other players. Which would surely happen once they saw the other's YUN avatar. After all, that little announcement of his did go sort-of viral.

If they saw them together, some of the players – especially those under the banner of NightCloud CP – would definitely assume that Luo Yan was the one Shen Ji Yun was referring to in that little announcement of his. Of course, Luo Yan didn't mind even if people found out about them. He just didn't like how troublesome it would become after.

Everything had its proper time. And right now was not yet the time for their relationship to be revealed to everyone.

Luo Yan ran towards Shen Ji Yun and hugged the other's waist. The other also hugged him back, giving him a big squeeze.

"Sorry, I'm late," Shen Ji Yun said in an apologetic tone.

Luo Yan raised his head to look at Shen Ji Yun. "No, I don't think a few minutes can be considered as 'late'. Besides, there's still plenty of time before Yule Island closed for this year."

The said island was a place that only opened during Christmas. To be precise, it opened at 12 AM of December 25 and then closed at 11:59 PM of the same day. It's still 10 minutes before eight in the evening, they still had plenty of time to go there and tour around Yule Island.

"Then, shall we go there now?" Shen Ji Yun said, offering his hand to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan happily accepted it. "Yes."

-----

When Luo Yan opened his eyes, he and Shen Ji Yun were already standing in front of Sky Railway. It's a train station that traveled around several floating islands. These islands were mostly owned by the game and had commercial facilities for players to visit and enjoy.

The only way to go to Yule Island was through Sky Railway. It's because players couldn't directly teleport to the island.

"See, Brother Ji Yun, we're just in time for our train ride," Luo Yan said.

They already bought tickets beforehand so they didn't have to line up to buy one at the ticketing station. They bought tickets for the 8 PM ride, so the two of them were just on time.

They walked inside the station. As they did, it didn't left Luo Yan's notice that some of the players were looking at him rather intensely. It's not the usual glance of admiration he got for being an amazing rookie player, it's a rather different matter altogether.

Like how people would look at a celebrity.

Did he became much more beautiful in the last few days without him noticing?

He raised his chin proudly. Yes, that must be it. Being in a relationship must have a tremendous effect.

What our dear Luo Yan forgot that he was inside the game and there's no way his avatar would suddenly change. No matter how in love one was.
