"ARE you done with your business, Brother Ji Yun?" Luo Yan asked when Shen Ji Yun walked out of the building, Eclipse was still sittingfortably on his shoulder.


    Remembering the cat girl and their agreement just now, Shen Ji Yun nodded. "Let’s go."


    "Where should we eat?" Luo Yan asked for the third time. He’s starting to feel very redundant. "You said that it’s somewhere that will surprise me."


    Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yan’s expectant gaze and a small smile appeared on his lips. "Yes. But it’s not a restaurant. So, we have to buy food first."


    Luo Yan raised one of his brows when he heard that. So, the ce Shen Ji Yun said that would surprise him was not some high-end restaurant but instead just a ce. He was not disappointed. Instead, he became even more excited to see this ce.


    "Okay. Since I’m the one who owe Brother Ji Yun a meal, you should pick whatever food that you want to eat. And no, sweets are not allowed."


    He said thatst sentence because if he didn’t, he had a feeling that Shen Ji Yun would just choose to buy sweets. Not because he had a preference for it but because Luo Yan liked it. That would just defeat the purpose of him buying him a meal.


    Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yan, his usually cold eyes were filled with indulgence and pet. "Then let’s just buy some simple snacks."


    They went to a diner like restaurant and Luo Yan ordered two burgers with doubled patty of meat, tworge serving of fries, a pecan pie, and as for drinks, he bought a strawberry smoothie for himself and c for Shen Ji Yun. When their ordered arrived, he was surprised to see Shen Ji Yun pulling a pic basket from his Items Tab.


    When Luo Yan looked at him with questions in his eyes, Shen Ji Yun could only cough and said while putting the food they ordered inside the basket, "I just noticed that there’s a pic basket on my Items Tab. How convenient, right?"


    Yes, very convenient. Luo Yan was sure Shen Ji Yun brought the pic basket on purpose especially for this asion. Which meant that he was already nning to ask him to go to this ’ce’ in the guise of paying him back the meal he owed. With that thought, he was reminded again of the nonsense Eclipse had been spouting since earlier.


    And the doubt that was nted in his heart was starting to grow bigger and bigger.


    "Shall we go?" Shen Ji Yun asked after putting everything in the basket.


    Luo Yan temporary put away his doubt and just nodded.


    When they walked out of the diner, Shen Ji Yun offered his hand to Luo Yan. "Please, take my hand."


    His face was still expressionless, but if one would look closely, they would see that the tip of his ears was blushing red.


    Luo Yan looked at the hand offered to him. Because of the doubts in his heart, he’s starting to get suspicious of Shen Ji Yun’s every move. But he still put his hand on the other’s palm. After all, no matter how much suspicious and doubt he had, he knew that Shen Ji Yun would never hurt him.


    Shen Ji Yun took out a teleportation scroll and the two, along with Eclipse, disappeared on the spot.


    Luo Yan once again felt that vacuum-like sensation that was unique when one was teleporting in the game. When that feeling disappeared and he opened his eyes, he couldn’t help but show amazement because of the scene in front of him.


    They were in a small floating ind. The ce was surrounded by wild flowers. One could easily smell their wonderful scent filling the air. There was ake with crystal clear water. But the most eye-catching of all was the tall tree that stood in the middle. Its trunk was thick and its branches diverged far and wide, almost covering the whole ind. But the most shocking of all was its leaves. They were pure white. So, when they fell, it almost seemed like snow was falling.


    He reached out his hand to a leaf that was about to fall in front of him. The leaf gently fell on his palm. "It’s beautiful."


    "Yes. Very beautiful." But when Shen Ji Yun said that, he was not looking at their surroundings but at Luo Yan. It seemed like his eyes could only see Luo Yan’s figure.


    When Eclipse saw this and didn’t see his master react, he quickly jumped from Shen Ji Yun’s shoulder to Luo Yan’s arms. [Mashter, Captain said you’re beautiful!]


    Because of Eclipse’s voice suddenly appearing in Luo Yan’s mind, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Ji Yun. The other was staring at him, an unknown emotion was swirling in his amethyst eyes. He seemed to be caught off guard when he suddenly turned to look at him. That’s why Shen Ji Yun immediately looked the other way.


    "I’ll go and arrange the food," Shen Ji Yun said who quickly walked towards the tree.


    He took out a nket andid it down on the grass. Then he put the pic basket down, taking out the food inside.


    Seeing Shen Ji Yun’s jumpy action as if nervous, Luo Yan could only sigh. He looked down at the little fox in his arms and flicked his forehead. [Look at what you did.]


    Eclipse held his forehead and looked at Luo Yan aggrievedly, his sapphire eyes starting to get misty. [Eclipse didn’t do anything wrong. Mashter is not allowed to abuse Eclipse.]


    The corner of Luo Yan’s mouth twitched when he heard his pet’s usation. [When did I abuse you?]


    [Just now. Mashter flicked Eclipse forehead. It hurts.]


    [Then you shouldn’t have talked nonsense.]


    [When did Eclipse talked nonsense? Captain really said that you’re beautiful. He was even looking at you with hearts in his eyes!]


    For some reason, Luo Yan felt embarrassed when he heard that. [Really?]


    [Really!]


    Luo Yan then couldn’t help but give Shen Ji Yun a rather meaningful nce.
