Chapter 254 - HE'S BETTER THAN HER
EVEN though Luo Yan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still had to answer these girls' inquiries. He did his best to not show any expression on his face. He lowered his gaze and said in soft voice, "This humble one apologized but she couldn't do that."
"Hey, don't be such a cheapskate, miss administrator," said Hecate. "What's the harm in telling us?"
"That would be invading the privacy of another guest and our pavilion doesn't allow that," he said simply.
"There's such a rule?" Hecate 'tsked'. "Isn't this a place for entertainment, why have such a stifling rule?"
Candycane nodded. "True. It's not as if we're going to run there to disturb them. It's enough if Lian Lian go there herself."
Nereid, whose nickname was probably 'Lian Lian', blushed red. "Xiao Xi! It's fine, really."
"Why not just let this NPC lead you to Yunyue's private box? That way, you can meet YUN," Freya suggested. "You can't just always look at him from afar, you know?"
"Sister Meiyu is right!" Candycane agreed. "Lian Lian is so good. If YUN finally knows about your feelings for him, he would definitely like you back."
Luo Yan felt the corner of his eye twitched when he heard that. What 'he would definitely like you back'? Wasn't the fact that Shen Ji Yun didn't notice her feelings about him until now evident enough that he wasn't interested in her?
"You guys…" Nereid said with a helpless look on her face. Then she turned to Bellona as if asking for help.
"Stop it, you three. Can't you see that Ah Lian is not comfortable with this topic?" Bellona interjected.
"And that's the reason why you still couldn't make a headway in your relationship with him," Hecate said, shaking her head. "You started playing this game, you even followed him to the same university, but what's the use of all that if whenever you two meet you always clammed up and started acting like you're a queen and he's a peasant?"
"But Lian Lian is very cute when she does that though," Candycane said.
Freya chuckled. "Lian Lian is just being shy that's why she acts that way."
Nereid's pretty face blushed red like a delicate rose. "I couldn't help it."
Freya stroked Nereid's aqua blue hair. "It's alright. We like you this way."
Bellona sighed while looking at her team mates. Then she turned to Luo Yan. "You can go."
Luo Yan bowed and walked out of the private box before any of them tried to force him to take them to team Yunyue's private box. Arriving outside, he clutched at his chest. His heart still felt sour for some unknown reason.
Remembering the conversation that transpired inside, he still felt uncomfortable. It seemed like the captain of team Sirens really does like Shen Ji Yun. From all the things he just heard, he could gather that she knew Shen Ji Yun in real life. Because if she didn't, then she wouldn't be able to follow him to the same university. They had crossed paths a number of times. But because she couldn't express her feelings properly, Shen Ji Yun still had no idea that she liked him.
If Shen Ji Yun did, would he be tempted?
Just thinking of that possibility, an uncontrollable anger suddenly wanted to erupt inside him. If he dared, let's see how he beat him. Why would he even be tempted by that girl. She didn't even look that pretty. Luo Yan was sure that he looked way better. Even if she's the captain of a top team, he's confident that his gaming skills were also way better. She might have been admitted to T University, but wasn't he also? His overall score in the college entrance examination back then was even in the top 10 in the whole country. It's obvious that he's better than her in all accounts.
He stopped and almost covered his face in embarrassment. What was he doing comparing himself with that girl? Was it because he knew Shen Ji Yun liked him so he felt that he shouldn't like anybody else? Wasn't he just being a bit too full of himself? They weren't even in a relationship yet and he was acting like they're already were. He wasn't even sure if his feelings were on the same level as that of Shen Ji Yun's. Acting like this was just unfair to the other person.
He let out a deep breath. Stop. He still had a lot of things to do. Pondering over this topic at a time like this was not very ideal. So, he calmed down his emotion and walked to the next private box.
Even though his mind was not on it, he still managed to welcome the guests in the next two boxed quite normally. He acted like the perfect 'NPC'. Once again, he was thankful for his great acting skills.
He just left another box and was about to walk to the next one when he collided with two players, making him stop in his track.
One of them had blue hair and pair of wolf ears on top of his head. He was full of nervous energy. It could be seen that he's the type that couldn't sit still. Even as he was just standing there, his body had a lot of extra movements. A typical energetic teenager.
The other one was wearing a slick black suit and holding a cane like some kind of aristocratic gentleman. His black hair was perfectly styled. He had a pair of eyes as red as blood. His skin was luminous, highlighting his red lips. When their eyes met, those lips arched into a smile. Making anyone who saw him blushed.
Of course, with the exception of Luo Yan. His only reaction was to cringe. Which he tried his best not to show. Because he quickly recognized the other – the ever infuriating Alucard.
"Brother Ru, isn't this that black haired elf on the advertisement video?" the blue-haired wolf beastkin said.
Looking at the NPC's blue peach blossom eyes dusted with gold, a certain image of a white-haired elf overlapped in Xu Ru's mind. He was a bit surprised by that thought. But it just made him want to take a better look with this NPC.
So, he did. He walked towards 'her' and unceremoniously clamped 'her' waist and pulled 'her' closer to him. "My beauty, can you please let me have a look at your face?"
