Chapter 355 - WHAT'S NIGHTCLOUD CP?
LUO YAN stared at Shen Ji Yun's usually expressionless face that was now filled with excitement. Anyone could see that he was really looking forward to this. He shook his head and smiled. Never mind. Just let him be happy. They could just go back to the village later or tomorrow. It's not like the reward would ran off by itself.
Shen Ji Yun stopped in front of a building that looked like a high-class stable. "Let's go and rent horses. This way, it would be easier for us to go from one place to another," he said when he noticed the curious look Luo Yan gave him.
Luo Yan nodded. That's actually a good idea since at one glance, anyone could tell how large the area this amusement park occupied.
They walked inside and a male NPC who looked like a stable hand quickly approached them.
"Two guests, how may I help you?"
"We're here to rent two horses," Shen Ji Yun said, showing the golden bracelet he had to the NPC.
Luo Yan also did the same.
Seeing the golden bracelets they're wearing, the NPC became more respectful. Which Luo Yan found a bit funny. So, in the face of money, even NPCs would treat you much better.
"We have a variety of horses the two guests could choose from. If you'll just follow me."
They followed the NPC while looking at the different horses inside.
Shen Ji Yun stopped in front of two horses – one was pure black and the other was pure white. "We'll take these two."
He actually wanted to ride on one horse with Luo Yan. His rabbit would sit in front and then he would sit at the back, enveloping him in his arms. But that would be a little bit too obvious of him. Luo Yan would definitely discover his true purpose.
He turned to Luo Yan with an apologetic expression. "Sorry if I chose a horse for you. If you want to ride another horse, it's okay to choose a different one."
"It's okay. I think this horse is good," Luo Yan said, stroking the white horse's mane.
The horse neighed and licked his palm which made Luo Yan laughed.
Shen Ji Yun stared at this scene and couldn't help but take a screenshot. Of course, he did it stealthily so Luo Yan wouldn't notice it. Satisfied, he closed his Status Window. Now, he had another photo added to his secret stash of Yan Yan collection – a photo collection of all the screen shots of Luo Yan he secretly took.
After confirming the horses they wanted, they gently led the horses out of the stable. Once outside, they rode the horse they picked.
Glancing at Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun nodded in appreciation. Just as he thought, this white horse suited his rabbit quite well. With his long white hair flowing behind his back and the white robe he was wearing, he looked like a beautiful immortal that couldn't be tainted by any dark things in the world.
Luo Yan turned to him, a smile on his face. "Let's go?"
Shen Ji Yun led them to the direction of the main office, riding on the horse at a steady pace.
As they did, they passed by a lot of players. And, of course, Shen Ji Yun being all famous and all, a lot of them stopped on their way and just stared at them. Different conversations drifted to their ears.
"Hey, isn't that YUN?"
"You're right! Oh my god, he looked like a prince riding on that horse!"
"He's so handsome!"
"But what is he doing here?"
"Can't you see that he's with someone? Look! It's that white-haired elf who has been in the forum a couple of times."
"Is he really a guy? Why is he so beautiful? As a girl, his face is making me feel so disheartened."
"You're not asking the right question here. Why are they together?"
"I heard a rumor that the white-haired elf, what was his name? Noctis! I heard that he's a new member of Yunyue."
"Really? Then, is Yunyue recruiting new members again? Are they going to participate on the next season of Arcadia Cup?"
"I think it's more interesting to know if the two of them are on a date."
"I think they are. Why else would they be here?"
"True. Who doesn't know about YUN's indifference? Do you think such a cold person would go here unless he's with the person he likes?"
"Are you following Catnip's Weibo? She actually has a lot of fan-arts of them. She even has a name for their CP – the NightCloud CP!"
"Yes, I've seen that! I thought they only looked cute together because Catnip drew them that way. But seeing the real people, I must agree that they really suit each other."
"Right? I think so as well."
"Let's take a picture of them and post it on the forum! I bet it would be a big hit."
"Let's popularize the NightCloud CP!"
"Then we should take a lot of pictures of them."
Hearing all that, Shen Ji Yun's face had already turned into a ripe tomato. He was extremely embarrassed, thinking of what Luo Yan would think hearing all those things about them. But at the same time, he also felt secretly happy inside. Because these people thought that he and his rabbit suited each other. How could he not be happy?
Luo Yan, on the other hand, had another focus. Hearing the word 'fan-art', he remembered what Eclipse told him before. About Shen Ji Yun letting that one player – a cat girl beastkin if he remembered correctly - make a fan-art of them and telling her to make them appear close to each other.
He had never had the chance to check that so-called fan-art because he didn't really think anything of it. He didn't even ask Eclipse if he heard the girl's Weibo. But listening to those people, it seemed those fan-arts were already getting a bit of fame.
He turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Brother Ji Yun, what's NightCloud CP?"
Shen Ji Yun completely froze at his question.
