Chapter 903: THE MOST NATURAL THING

As the surrounding changed and he found himself standing on the island, he once again marvel at the beauty of the place. Especially at this time of the day. When the sun had already set and the moon with it's silvery light was shining in the dark sky filled with stars. Every time Luo Yan saw this scene, it felt like he could grab one if he just stretched out his arm to the sky.      

He turned his gaze forward and smiled when he saw Shen Ji Yun standing beside the giant tree with his back to him. Luo Yan used his [Shadow Walk] to surprised the other.      

When he was just a step away from where Shen Ji Yun was standing, he jumped out of the shadow and hugged the other's back. "Guess who?"    

Shen Ji Yun was startled when he suddenly felt a pair of arms around his waist. Then, when he heard the voice that followed, the corner of his lips turned up into a smile. "Yan Yan," he called, playing along with the other.      

Luo Yan put his chin on Shen Ji Yun's shoulder and then whispered, "Brother Ji Yun, remember what I told you earlier?"    

Shen Ji Yun felt a soft breath tickling his ear. His face immediately heated up because of that. But even though he was distracted by how close Luo Yan was to him, his mind was still able to understand what the other just said.      

"Yes," he said with a hoarse voice. "You wanted to kiss me."    

"Shall we do it now?"    

Luo Yan's voice was like honey, inviting him to sin. Instead of answering, Shen Ji Yun turned around and deftly held Luo Yan in his arms. And without a word, he slowly lowered his head.      

He subconsciously closed his eyes as he did so. But then, his lips didn't seem to land on the right target. Because instead of soft, tender lips, what he felt was something furry.    

Shen Ji Yun quickly opened his eyes and saw a black furry tail. He immediately stepped back and only then saw Eclipse standing between him and Luo Yan. The other probably automatically teleported there after Luo Yan had logged in. It's one of the perks of being a 'pet' after all.      

"Teehee... Captain just kiss Eclipse's tail," Eclipse said while holding both cheeks looking all shy. Then, as if realizing that he shouldn't be feeling that way, he turned to Shen Ji Yun and scolded the other. "Captain, no matter how cute Eclipse is, you shouldn't do that! You and Master are a couple now. You shouldn't cheat on Master! Besides, Eclipse is practically your son. This is incest!"    

Shen Ji Yun felt like a vein on his forehead just popped because of Eclipse's nonsense. For the first time, no, it's definitely not the first time, he suddenly wanted to throw the kid off the island.      

But before he could actually consider doing that, Luo Yan had already pinched Eclipse's fox ears.      

"Aw... aw... Master it hurts!" Eclipse said.    

Luo Yan was barely pinching Eclipse's ear and yet the way the other was acting, one would think that he's being tortured. Luo Yan was really tempted to pull this kid's ear with force.      

"Stop acting or I'll lock the door to your Mana fruit warehouse," he threatened.    

It's not really a warehouse but two big rooms in the team's headquarters combined together. Shen Ji Yun built that and filled it with Mana fruits to fulfill his promise with Eclipse.      

Eclipse pouted. "Master doesn't love Eclipse anymore."    

Luo Yan only gave Eclipse a look. You know, the one parents gave their children whenever they wanted them to behave. Eclipse understood and no longer pretended to sulk.      

"Fine. This lightbulb won't disturb Master and Captain's date anymore," Eclipse said with a sigh. "This lightbulb will now go."    

Before Luo Yan or Shen Ji Yun could react, Eclipse had already teleported away.    

Luo Yan pinched the bridge of his nose. Seriously, what a troublemaker. He wondered where Eclipse got that from.      

"Should we follow him?" Shen Ji Yun asked, thinking that Eclipse might be sulking somewhere.    

"Nah, he'll be fine. By tomorrow, he'd probably already forgotten that this happened," Luo Yan said. He sat down on the grass and leaned back on the giant tree. He raised his head to look at Shen Ji Yun and patted the space beside him. "Brother Ji Yun, you sit down too."        

Of course, Shen Ji Yun happily obliged. As soon as he sat down, Luo Yan leaned his head on his shoulder. Then, both their hands moved at the same time and clasped each other. As if it was the most natural thing.      

They stayed at that position just gazing at the moon above. It was a moment filled with silence. And yet both of their hearts felt full.    

"By the way, Brother Ji Yun, do you know someone named Yuan Xing?" Luo Yan asked after a while.    

Shen Ji Yun was a bit surprised hearing that name. "Yes, there's a 'Yuan Xing' I know. He's a friend of  Uncle, as well as Brother Zhao, he's the head of the programming department. But how did Yan Yan know that name?"    

"Well, I mentioned to Brother Ji Yun that Uncle Yi Mu and Uncle Yue ate together at the restaurant where Ah Jin, Jiao Jiao, and I usually eat lunch, right?" Luo Yan said, referring to when they were exchanging messages after his afternoon class ended. "This Mr. Yuan is the chef and manager there. I know that he was friends with Uncle Yue. I just didn't expect that he was also friends with Uncle Yi Mu."    

In fact, the reason why he asked Shen Ji Yun about it was because of the weird atmosphere between the three. The look on Uncle Yi Mu's face was like someone who wanted to curse but couldn't because they're in a public place.
