Chapter 756 - SCATTERED REALIZATION
LUO YAN watched as Shen Ji Yun's face turned bright red. Just earlier, the other was still obliviously flirting with him. But now that someone noticed him holding Luo Yan's hand, he suddenly became shy like a maiden. Every time he saw this kind of gap on the other, he couldn't help but think how cute and adorable Shen Ji Yun was.
He actually wanted to tease the other. Telling him how could he be so shy when he had already eaten his tofu. But he stopped himself. He felt like Shen Ji Yun's face would truly burst into flames if he did.
As much as he would have loved to see it, it might take a while before the other returned to his usual 'expressionless' self. And since they were already near the garden, it would be too conspicuous if they arrived with Shen Ji Yun's face bright red like a tomato.
His father and Yu Jiao would probably not think much, but he couldn't say the same for the rest. Especially for his brothers. Since it was Shen Ji Yun who was blushing, normal people would think that he did something to the other. But his brothers would definitely not think so.
Those two's brain circuits would definitely spin things in a way that would make Luo Yan the victim. He was also not sure how they could possibly come up with that conclusion. But knowing those two, they would definitely do. Because in their eyes, Shen Ji Yun was the bad guy who was trying to abduct their brother.
Luo Yan didn't want to cause such a misunderstanding. Especially on this night where they all should be celebrating.
"Come on, Brother Ji Yun. Let's go," he called, walking ahead.
Shen Ji Yun could only watch Luo Yan's back as the other walked forward. He truly didn't notice that he was holding on to Luo Yan's hand that long. No wonder he felt all giddy and happy inside.
But why didn't Luo Yan say anything about it and let him held his hand for that long? Now that he thought about it, this wasn't the first time something similar to this had happened.
There were a couple of times when he held the other's hand and Luo Yan didn't really reject it. Then, there were the times when Luo Yan himself took the initiative to touch him. Like holding his hand and hugging his arm. There was even that one time when they met in person the first time. Didn't the other take the initiative to k-kiss his chin?
It wasn't just the skinship. There were a lot of other small things. He couldn't really list them one by one. Just the fact that his rabbit would sometimes act coquettishly around him as if wanting to be spoiled was enough.
Shen Ji Yun felt like he was on the verge of discovering something here. The answer was already floating in his head. But before he could catch it, he suddenly heard Bai Ze's loud voice.
"Our champion is here!"
Shen Ji Yun just realized that they were already at the garden. And just like that, the thought bubble in his mind just popped. He had no time to gather it again. So, he just let it scatter. There was a much more important thing he needed to do right now.
He still hadn't congratulated Luo Yan properly!
So, Shen Ji Yun lowered his head and said before the others surrounded Luo Yan or something, "Congratulations again on winning the Rookie Carnival, Yan Yan. You truly are an amazing and splendid player."
Luo Yan raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun after hearing that. Seeing the sincerity in the other's eyes, he couldn't help but feel moved. "Thank you. I actually think so as well," he said with a cheeky grin.
This time, it was Shen Ji Yun's turn to smile in amusement. His rabbit was always so cute.
Luo Yan then turned to the garden. The place had now floating crystal lights, illuminating the whole area. But because the light wasn't too strong, the light from these crystals gave off a dreamy feeling. There was a table filled with different dishes, as well as all kinds of drinks. It was like a true small party.
He liked it. The people he cared about were here, celebrating his achievement, how could he not like it?
With a bright smile on his face, Luo Yan walked forward.

While team Yunyue was busy celebrating, the topic #RookieCarnivalFinals was currently rising on the hot search list of Weibo.
[The Rookie Carnival this year was truly full of talented players! Each match was worth-it to watch.]
[True. Unlike last year when anyone could already guess who would win before the tournament round even started.]
[I think the reason why this year's Carnival was better was because of the Duke of Hearts. That guy is just full of humor!]
[Yeah. Unlike the Duke of Spades who hosted last year and was very straightforward in handling things, the Duke of Hearts has a lot of novel ideas.]
[The Duke of Hearts should just host the Carnival every year. He's a bit eccentric and egotistic, but at least he's fun to watch.]
[His addition to the Carnival this year was truly a pleasant surprise.]
[I think the more surprising thing was the fact that Dragnar lost.]
[Hey, don't remind me again. I lost a lot of money because I bet on him.]
[Upstairs, you're not alone. TT__TT]
[If the caliber of the participants this year was low, then Dragnar definitely would have won. But unfortunately for him, that's not the case.]
[In my opinion, he was too careless. That's why he lost. Maybe he thought that he would surely win that's why he didn't put too much effort.]
[Upstairs, what are you saying? That Dragnar only lost because he was careless? That's bullshit! He lost because the young master was better than him!]
[But to think that a gnome would beat a dragon.]
