THE two who heard Dusk’s voice both felt a bit embarrassed. It’s true that the both of them kind of forgot that the dragon was still here. Luo Yan nced at Shen Ji Yun and saw that the tip of his ear was stained red. He could see an awkward expression on his face and he knew that it was because of his slip up earlier.


    He scratched his cheek and felt a bit guilty. He really should watch what he was saying. He didn’t want to give Shen Ji Yun so many ups and downs in terms of emotion. But perhaps he was enjoying flirting with him and teasing him so much that he just let his mouth say anything that came to his mind.


    Now, he suddenly felt like a scum ying with the innocent heart of a maiden. Maybe he should slow down a bit with his teasing. At least limit it to twice a day. He nodded. Yes, that seemed to be just right.


    If his heart and brain were people, they would be rolling their eyes at him right now. Because they just knew this guy wouldn’t be able to uphold that.


    "Of course not. How could we forget Dusk?" he said to the dragon. "Come, sit here. Let me tell you what we’ve found out so far about your past," he added, patting the cushion on his right.


    Dusk only snorted but still walked over and sat down there. "So, what have you found out?"


    "Let me do it," Shen Ji Yun volunteered. He was thinking that by talking a bit, he should be able to off-set the embarrassment he felt for misunderstanding Luo Yan’s words.


    Because of this incident, he just realized how rich his imagination was. Really, how could he automatically equate what Luo Yan just said to the other confessing to him? Maybe because it’s heart’s desire that’s why his brain simply converted Luo Yan’s simple phrase to that direction.


    Ah, now he knew that he really got it bad. If he was not careful, maybe he would end up being delusional sooner orter. But that didn’t mean that he would stop his rabbit from giving him ’sugar’. It’s the only sweet thing he needed in his life.


    He cleared his throat and proceeded on telling the dragon the things they discovered about his past in the most concise manner. He told the events in a bullet-point like way. That’s why he was able to finish telling everything that he should before Shirayuki even finished making tea.


    Dusk remained silent even after a few seconds had passed since he heard everything. Which was uncharacteristic of him. Luo Yan expected that the other would scream and rage. But surprisingly, he didn’t speak at all and just remained as if he was in deep thought.


    Luo Yan didn’t disturb the other. Certainly, it was better for Dusk to have this kind of calm reaction instead of blowing up like a bomb.


    The folding door to the room where Shirayuki just went to opened and the female kitsune walked out with a tray of tea and snacksmonly found in country R. Luo Yan quickly stood up and helped the other carry the tray.


    "Thank you," Shirayuki said.


    Luo Yan only smiled and put the tray on the tea table. After that, he sat down on his seat. Shirayuki then put the tea cups in front of them and the te of snacks in the middle.


    "These are simple snacks unique to a few beastkin tribes, I hope you won’t dislike it," she said.


    Luo Yan stared at the beautifully design snacks. There’s a mochi with Sakura petals, a skewer of dango in different color, and a pink-colored daifuku. There were four of each. Which meant that the four of them could have one of each snack.


    As a foodie, he didn’t hesitate to pick a daifuku. Just one bite and his eyes immediately brightened. Rich strawberry vor just exploded in his mouth. In turned out that this daifuku was strawberry vored. In a blink of an eye, he managed to finish the daifuku.


    He actually wanted another piece of daifuku but he had already eaten his. He didn’t want to be too shameless and ask the others for theirs. So, he could only look at the daifuku with regret.


    But then, a piece of that daifuku suddenly appeared in front of him. Followed by the words, "Here, you can have mine."


    Luo Yan nced at Shen Ji Yun. The other’s beastlike amethyst eyes were full of gentleness as he stared at him. He was d that Shen Ji Yun was back to normal. "Brother Ji Yun, you should try it. The sweetness is just right. You will definitely like it."


    He knew that Shen Ji Yun was not a fan of sweet things. He had long noticed that. Whenever the two of them ate together at some restaurant here in the game and he ordered the sweetest thing on the menu, Shen Ji Yun would always have this expression as if he couldn’t understand how someone could eat something like that.


    "Then, should we share?" Shen Ji Yun suggested.


    Luo Yan smiled helplessly knowing that if refused, the other might just give him the rest of the daifuku. "Okay."


    Shen Ji Yun then divided the daifuku he was holding into two and gave the other half to Luo Yan.


    Luo Yan ate the snack given to him and was very satisfied. He looked at Shen Ji Yun. "How was it? It’s good, right?"


    Shen Ji Yun stared at his rabbit’s happy expression. "Uhm, it’s good."


    He was actually thinking whether there’s a shop in reality that was actually selling daifukus that tasted like this. Then, he would send a box, no, three boxes of it to Luo Yan. How happy his rabbit must be. With that in mind, he decided to look for a shop that specialized in Country R’s desserts. If he couldn’t find one, then he’d just simply learn to make one.


    After finishing the half-piece of daifuku, Luo Yan turned to Shirayuki. He didn’t want to be told again that he was neglecting the NPCs around them just because he and Shen Ji Yun were busy in their own world of two.


    "Miss Shirayuki, can you tell us what exactly happened a hundred years ago?"
