Chapter 312 AWKWARD SILENCE
LUO YAN and Luo Jin just entered the private box in Moonriver restaurant, the one located at Goldcrest City.When Yu Jiao went back to her dormitory, he told her to message him when she was back so that he and Luo Jin could log in the game and wait for her.The both of them sat down.
Eclipse was happily nestling in his arms.This little pet of his probably missed him because he hadn’t gone online for the past two days.[Mashter, are you going to stay longer today?]
The little fox probably asked that because aside from not playing the past two days, in the past weekday, he only played for two hours from Monday to Wednesday.He rubbed Eclipse’s head.[Yes, I’ll stay longer.Did you miss me that much?]
[Of course!Everyday that Eclipse couldn’t see Mashter, he becomes more and more heart sick.Eclipse couldn’t sleep and couldn’t eat.Mashter, haven’t you notice that Eclipse had lost a lot of weight?] – the little fox said with some fake tears in those sapphire blue eyes.
Luo Yan raised one of his brows and looked at the fox in his arms that looked much bigger than the last time he saw him.He even felt a lot heavier.[Oh, really?Then I wonder where this fat came from?]
As he asked that, he pinched the fat on the side of Eclipse which caused the other to yelp.
[Mashter!]
[What?Did you not train at all these past two days that we haven’t seen each other?Did you just eat and eat?]
[Mashter, Eclipse did train!You can ask Captain!Eclipse had been fighting monsters with Captain whenever Mashter was gone.See, Eclipse is already level 25.Eclipse also learned a new skill!]
Luo Yan didn’t expect that Shen Ji Yun would bring Eclipse along with him.With how much this little fox favored their team’s captain, he would definitely willingly go with the other.He thought of the preliminary of the Rookie Carnival that would start next Sunday.Knowing Shen Ji Yun, he probably thought that it would help Luo Yan if his pet leveled up more before that day.
A smile crossed his lips when he thought that.Then, as if suddenly realizing what he was doing, he covered his mouth with the back of his hand to cover his smile.Luo Jin would probably think he was acting weird if he saw him suddenly smiling for no reason.
So, he just checked the new skill that Eclipse was talking about.
Mirror Image-
Can transform and copy anything and anyone perfectly within 5-meter radius.The effect will last for 10 seconds.
Luo Yan fell into a deep thought looking at the explanation of the skill.Especially at the words ’copy perfectly’.So, did that mean that once Eclipse transformed into something that’s within the range, he would also be able to have the abilities of the thing or the person he copied?If the was the case, then this skill could turn out really helpful.
[Mashter, what do you think?It’s a good skill, right?] – Eclipse said, interrupting his thoughts.
[Not bad.But why did you gain weight so much?] – Luo Yan asked, not forgetting to get back on the topic.
Eclipse acted like he was hurt by what he said.[Mashter, are you calling Eclipse fat?How could you?]
Luo Yan gently flicked the little fox’s forehead.[Just answer the question.]
Eclipse pouted.[It’s because Captain had been constantly feeding Eclipse a lot of good things.How could Eclipse refuse Captain’s goodwill?]
Was that the reason why this little guy leveled up so fast?Suddenly, he wanted to smile like a fool again.But he immediately caught himself.He cleared his throat and asked Eclipse instead, [How was Dusk these days?]
[The black lizard was making his own nest at our team’s palace.] – Eclipse said with dissatisfaction, most probably referring to the team’s headquarters.[Oh, but the pink-haired little sister has been teasing him these past few days.] – Eclipse said gleefully.[She’s now my third favorite person next to Captain.Of course, Mashter is my first favorite.]
Luo Yan had a feeling that Su Yuqi was not exactly ’teasing’ Dusk but bullying him instead.He could totally see her doing just that.Poor guy.
"Hey, Yan, are you listening to me?"
Luo Yan was a bit startled hearing Luo Jin’s voice.He raised his head and saw his little brother frowning at him.He probably wanted to look forbidding but it didn’t give that desired effect because he was currently a gnome.And he simply looked cute and adorable.
"Sorry, I was talking to Eclipse," he apologized."What did you say again?"
Luo Jin looked at the fox in his brother’s arms and frowned at it.Causing Eclipse to burry his head in Luo Yan’s arms even more.
[Mashter, your brother is looking at Eclipse with hate.]
Luo Yan almost chuckled.How could this little guy be so overdramatic?Luo Jin only frowned at him and he already equated that to being hated.He pinched Eclipse’s cheek.[Okay.Be good.]
"As I was saying, don’t you think Brother was acting weird this morning?" Luo Jin finally asked.
Luo Yan thought about how their older brother was being all attentive to Yu Jiao during breakfast.Luo Jin was probably talking about that."Really?I think he’s pretty normal," he said, acting clueless.
Luo Jin wanted to say in what way was their older brother acting normal?Then he remembered that Luo Yan only ever witnessed Luo Ren’s gentle side.He had never acted cold when he was around.Of course, he wouldn’t think that something was wrong.
"No, he’s not.Listen, you might think that it’s impossible, but Brother is not as gentle as you think he is.I have seen him treat girls like they’re nothing but air.You have no idea how many girls he rejected so harshly.So, why was he so gentle to Yu Jiao?"Not to mention, that scene he saw at the corridor on the second floor this morning.What were they doing, shaking hands like that?"If I don’t know better, I would think he likes Yu Jiao or something."
Just after he said that, the door of the private box opened.The one standing at the front was an NPC waiter and the one behind him was Yu Jiao’s game avatar.
Seeing her, the private box was suddenly filled with awkward silence.
