The Return Of The God Level Assassin

BUT wait- did that mean that Eclipse had always been pairing him with Luo Yan? When that finally registered in Shen Ji Yunʼs brain, his expression suddenly became blank. Well, more blank than it usually was.

He knew that Luo Yan and Eclipse usually communicated with each other mentally. So, Luo Yan was the only one who could hear the little foxʼs voice. No, thatʼs not right. Dusk could also hear Eclipse.

Then, as if a door was suddenly opened to him, he remembered what the dragon had said when they flew over the shrine earlier and saw Luo Yan talking to Shirayuki; ʼWait- the brat said the two of you are a couple. Is he actually cheating on you?ʼ.

He didnʼt think much about it because all his attention was on Luo Yan. But now that they were talking about this topic, it just flashed in his mind. So, wouldnʼt this mean that the little fox had been telling those who could hear his voice how he and Luo Yan were a pair? To the point that even Dusk would believe that the two of them were indeed a couple.

Shen Ji Yun felt a bit complicated. Because he didnʼt know if he should feel happy, shy, or worried. Being paired with his rabbit was naturally a very happy thing. Just thinking that there were people, even if they were NPCs, who considered him and Luo Yan a couple, his heart was immediately filled with sweetness.

But there was also the worry. What if Luo Yan didnʼt like being paired with him? Normally, people would be annoyed if they were constantly being paired with someone of the same sex or gender. After all, the ʼnormalʼ thing was to be paired with someone of the opposite sex. What if Luo Yan was simply tolerating it because he simply considered it as the nonsensical ramblings of an NPC? Something that didnʼt really affect him in anyway thatʼs why he just chose to ignore it.

Shen Ji Yun wasnʼt sure which one was better of the two. If it was the former, that meant Luo Yanʼs concept of a ʼnormalʼ relationship had already been established. That in his mind, males should only be with females. If it was the latter, then that meant that Luo Yan had never thought of being with him in that way. And so, he didnʼt care much whether Eclipse teased him.

Suddenly, he couldnʼt help but feel a bit down. Could there really come a time when his feelings would reach Luo Yan? The pessimistic side of him that most of the time inhabited his mind kept whispering to him, ʼno, that was just your dream and it wonʼt ever happen in this lifeʼ. The gloom surrounding him just increased thinking of that.

Luo Yan was confused by the sudden downcast expression that Shen Ji Yun showed. The other was still being shy and excited at first. So, then, what happened in just a span of seconds? But he already had an answer in his mind.

This guy was probably overthinking again. Although Luo Yan had no idea what Shen Ji Yun was thinking right now, he had a feeling that it was probably just the otherʼs big brain supplement. As in Shen Ji Yunʼs brain was supplementing him with nonsensical depressing thoughts that resulted to this gloom.

It probably had something to do with him no doubt. Based on the conversation they just had, it could only have something to do with the fact that Eclipse was shipping the two of them. But what was so depressing about that? Shouldnʼt he be happy instead?

Well, he was indeed happy for a few seconds, that is. So, what happened? What kind of brain supplement did his brain come up with? No matter how good his understanding of the other was, it didnʼt mean that he could easily read his mind.

Since, he didnʼt know the reason, itʼs better to just ask. ”Whatʼs wrong, Brother Ji Yun? You suddenly became silent.”

Shen Ji Yun seemed to return to his senses after hearing Luo Yanʼs question. ”Itʼs nothing.”

Although the other tried to smile and appear nonchalant, in Luo Yanʼs eyes, Shen Ji Yun only looked very uncomfortable. He sighed helplessly.

”Really nothing? But why do I think that something is bothering you and itʼs very likely that it had something to do with me?” he smiled and tilted his head. ”Am I right or am I right?”

Shen Ji Yun was suddenly flustered, as if being caught in the act of doing something bad. ”I—” he stopped and then decided to just tell the truth, well, at least part of the truth. Itʼs also better for his peace of mind to know what Luo Yanʼs answer would be. ”Whatʼs your opinion with Eclipse pairing us together?”

Luo Yan stopped when he heard that question. Because he felt like he had already answered something similar. No, he definitely did. Wait- so, thatʼs the reason he suddenly became gloomy? He didnʼt know if he should laugh or cry.

”Brother Ji Yun, if Iʼm not angry that other people are shipping us, even giving us a CP name, then I certainly donʼt mind Eclipse pairing us together.”

Shen Ji Yun showed a surprised look as if he just remembered about their online CP name. Luo Yan shook his head helplessly. Seriously, how could such a great guy be so lacking in confidence? If he found the person or people responsible for this, see if he didnʼt beat them up.

Because thereʼs no way this behavior was not influenced by something or by someone. Shen Ji Yun wouldnʼt grow up with this kind of mentality otherwise. Especially when he had all these obvious advantages in life.

”I donʼt mind if others paired us together,” he added to what he said earlier. Then Luo Yan stretched out his hand and pinched the otherʼs cheek. And a gentle smile appeared on his face. ”With such a handsome face, I donʼt think anyone would even dare to be dissatisfied being paired with you.”

Shen Ji Yun was in a complete trance. He could only feel his heart beating faster and faster.
