Chapter 988: LOVE CAN MAKE ONE BLIND

Chapter 988: LOVE CAN MAKE ONE BLIND

AFTER explaining to his teammates the process of how he ended up performing here at the opening ceremony of the Cup, Luo Yan was finally able to sit beside Shen Ji Yun comfortably. Of course, he was back in his usual costume instead of the red dress he wore during the performance. Even his avatar's hair was back to its white color.         

"But seriously, you did such a good job that I bet your performance will be a hot topic on Weibo and the game forum," Bai Ze said.     

"The NPCs of my pavilion should be given more credit," Luo Yan said. "And since I didn't really dance using my god inherent talent, the credit solely belonged to them."     

"That can't be, Master. Even if you're not really good at dancing, you still contributed by being pretty," Eclipse quickly rejected his claim.     

Luo Yan didn't know if he should laugh or cry after hearing that. "Yes, thank you, Eclipse, for boosting my confidence."     

"But why did you even agree to perform tonight?" Luo Jin asked, looking like he was genuinely confused why he did so. "Wait- are you going to be paid? How much would they pay you?"     

"Hey, you're talking as if I only agreed to perform for this ceremony because of the money or something," Luo Yan said, pouting at his brother.     

"Then, is there any other reason?"     

"Of course," Luo Yan said, looking all proud. Then, he hugged Shen Ji Yun's arm before continuing, "It's so I could surprise Brother Ji Yun." He turned to the person sitting beside him and smiled. "Were you surprised?"     

Shen Ji Yun, whose heart still hadn't calmed down despite Luo Yan's performance being over for quite a few minutes now, felt like it would burst once again. The happiness that bubbled inside him was almost overwhelming after hearing what Luo Yan said about doing this performance for him.      

"Yes, very much so," he said in response.     

Although thinking that a lot of people had seen Luo Yan in that red dress and some might even fantasize about him made him annoyed and even a bit angry, those feelings were easily overridden by the happiness he's feeling now.     

"Then, I'm glad." Luo Yan then closed their distance and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Maybe I can give Brother Ji Yun a lap dance one of these days."     

Shen Ji Yun's whole face quickly heated up. As soon as he heard the words 'lap dance', his mind was immediately filled with the image of Luo Yan dancing around him provocatively. If they were in the real world, he might have already had a nosebleed because of the images his mind conjured.     

"Are you feeling excited by the thought?" Luo Yan teased in a whisper.     

Shen Ji Yun could only force himself to calm down while pinching Luo Yan's cheek. "You foxy rabbit."     

Luo Yan grinned at that. "I'll take that as a compliment."     

"Can you two stop flirting when we're around?" Bai Ze complained. "Please, have mercy on us single dogs."     

"Argh... now I'm regretting why I even asked that question," Luo Jin grumbled, thinking that his question was the trigger for why these two started flirting again.     

Luo Yan turned to the others and said cheekily, "This is a sign that you should get your own sweetheart."     

Luo Jin sweated nervously when he heard that and subconsciously glanced at Su Yuqi. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the other seemed disinterested in what Luo Yan said just now.     

Seriously, he had to talk to his brother later. He shouldn't be saying things like that. What if Su Yuqi had the idea of getting a boyfriend when he hadn't yet caught up with her?     

Bai Ze, on the other hand, was also quite hit hard by his cousin's statement. Should he really get a girlfriend?     

Before he could fully think about it, the next performance started.     

The following performances after the one Yuexing Pavilion did were mostly from celebrities and influencers. Then the second to the last performance was of Song Liuli. The audience cheered more when she appeared at the middle of the stage compared to the performances before her. Showing just how much popular she was.     

Song Liuli didn't have any back-ups. It was just her standing in the middle of the stage, with the spotlight softly shining on her.         

As soon as the music sounded, she unleashed her voice, and the stadium was instantly filled with a mesmerizing melody. Her voice flowed effortlessly, captivating all who listened. Every note she sang carried a heartfelt emotion, as if her voice had the power to touch the depths of the soul.     

In that moment, it felt as if a true angel had descended upon the stage, gracing the audience with a divine gift. Her voice created a sense of serenity and wonder, leaving everyone in awe of the ethereal beauty she possessed.     

As she sang the last note, a deafening applause filled the surrounding.     

Luo Yan raised his brow. He didn't expect that Song Liuli could actually sing like that. Could it also be a skill like the dance one he had? If not, then she truly had talent.     

"Yan Yan is definitely better than her," Shen Ji Yun mumbled beside him.     

He smiled helplessly when he heard that. Love could really make a person 'blind'. "Thank you for your confidence in me, Brother Ji Yun," he could only say.     

Then the last performance started. This one was a pretty well-known singer. His popularity was much higher compared to the other celebrities who had already performed. As evidence of the cheer of the audience the moment he appeared.     

  After his performance, instead of the Duke of Spade, someone very surprising appeared instead. It was an avatar that looked exactly like Shen Yi Mu. With a formal black suit and his signature silver-rimmed glasses, anyone could see that the other was not an NPC but Shen Yi Mu's avatar instead.     

  "Welcome to all the teams participating in this year's Arcadia Cup," he said. "This is the CEO of Moonlight Media."
