Chapter 373 - JUST THE TWO OF THEM

NO wonder Shen Ji Yun suddenly suggested that he put up his hood and mask, the other even wore a rabbit mascot suit. Luo Yan actually didn't think that it was all so they could avoid the prying eyes of other players as Shen Ji Yun said. Because he already felt that he was hiding something earlier. Who would have thought that it was all because Luo Jin and the others were here?

So, in short, Shen Ji Yun just wanted to avoid the three. What 'prying eyes of other players'? He just didn't want their date to be disturbed. Because that's exactly what Luo Jin would do.

Luo Yan knew his younger brother. If he saw the two of them together, he would definitely throw a fit. Even if he said that they were only here because of a task, Luo Jin would definitely not let them be alone together. And so, there's a 100% chance that he would tag along with them. If he was in Shen Ji Yun's shoes, he might also try his best to avoid them.

But why the need to conceal it from him? Did he think that he wouldn't cooperate? Yes, that was probably the case. In Shen Ji Yun's opinion, he might have thought that once Luo Yan knew about the other members of their team being here at Tropical Land, instead of avoiding them, he might even suggest that they go around the amusement park together.

Luo Yan smiled helplessly at the thought of that. Because even if Shen Ji Yun considered this as a date, he didn't. So, the thought of avoiding the other three would definitely not cross his mind. He might even welcome their arrival.

Obviously, that wasn't the case. Because for one, he considered this a date. And second, he wanted to see more of Shen Ji Yun's strategy to chase him. How could that happen when there were three light bulbs with them? So, yes, he would happily avoid the three.

But how did they end up here at Tropical Land anyway? If Luo Jin had been planning to go here, he would have mentioned it earlier during lunch. That meant that this was probably a spur of the moment thing.

"Why are Ah Jin and the others here?" he asked to make sure.

Seeing that Luo Yan wasn't angry because of his concealment, Shen Ji Yun finally let out a sigh of relief. So, he decided to just be honest about the whole thing. Of course, excluding the deal that he made with Su Yuqi. 

"Bai Ze apparently heard a rumor about us going on a date here at Tropical Land. It's most likely from the players who had seen us here."

There was a rumor? And it reached his cousin's ear that fast? – Luo Yan thought in amazement. What, did those players earlier ran off after seeing them together and quickly spread that rumor that the two of there were having a date here? But why would they immediately assume that he and Shen Ji Yun were on a date? Couldn't two men with only friendship in their hearts stroll in an amusement park together?

Was it because he was too beautiful that even if he was with a man in a place like this, people just couldn't help but think that they were together romantically? He sighed. He once again experienced another disadvantage of being too beautiful. Ah, truly, beauty was a sin.

"After your brother heard it, he dragged the other two here. He most likely wanted to catch us on the act and then beat me up for 'abducting' his brother," Shen Ji Yun added.

Luo Yan chuckled hearing that. Because that's truly something his younger brother would do. That's probably why Luo Jin still didn't send him a message, asking him directly where he was. Just so he could 'catch them in the act'.

"The way Brother Ji Yun said it, it's almost like we're having an affair."

The whole rabbit face suddenly turned red after he said that. Which just delighted Luo Yan.

"I- no- that was not what I was trying to say. I mean- just- I'm simply making a metaphor," Shen Ji Yun said, completely flustered.

"I know. I'm just joking with Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan said before steam could come out of the other's rabbit head. "So, did Sister Yuqi tell you where they are now?"

"They're currently at Wild Land, on-board the cruise ship."

Luo Yan raised one of his brows when he heard that. If they were looking for them, why would they suddenly go on-board a cruise ship? Luo Jin would definitely not do that. Unless, it's suggested by Su Yuqi. In which his brother would definitely agree to go. 

He suddenly had a feeling that Shen Ji Yun and Su Yuqi were now working together just so their two groups could avoid meeting each other. But Luo Yan didn't peg Su Yuqi as someone who would do that. Unless, one – there's something in it for her, like Shen Ji Yun promising to give her something. Or two – she knew about Shen Ji Yun's feelings for him. And there's also a third possibility that it was both.

Whichever the case, the two were now definitely working together.

"What does Yan Yan want to do now? Do you want to meet up with them?"

Luo Yan gave Shen Ji Yun a sideway glance. This guy, asking that when he, himself, didn't want it to happen. Luo Yan wondered what he would do if he said 'yes, let's go and meet up with them'. But he was in a good mood, so he wouldn't tease him like that. Besides, he was enjoying their alone time together so far. Why would he want three other light bulbs to go with them?

"Let's just continue what we've been doing until now."

Hearing that, Shen Ji Yun's eyes suddenly brightened. Which completely reflected on the rabbit's eyes. It suddenly had a bright glint. Because what Luo Yan said meant that he just wanted to go around Tropical Land with just the two of them. How could he not be happy?

"Okay, let's do that."

Luo Yan almost laughed again seeing the silly expression on the rabbit head's face. "Then let's go and ride that mystery coaster."
