Chapter 917: CHRISTMAS DATE (III)

Chapter 917: CHRISTMAS DATE (III)AT the same time that Luo Yan was admiring Shen Ji Yun, the latter was also doing the same. The Christmas elf costume that Luo Yan was wearing made him looked playful. In addition to the whole costume, there was a green beret on top of his head. Because of that, his ponytailed hair was now flowing freely behind his back.          

"Yan Yan is so cute."    

"Brother Ji Yun is so handsome!"    

The two of them said at the same time. They were both startled and then both burst into laughter.      

Luo Yan spun around in place, as if showing off his costume. Then he put his hands under his chin like some kind of flower. "Do I really look cute?"    

Shen Ji Yun felt like his heart was suddenly hit by an arrow because of this unprecedented 'attack'. He resisted the urge to pull the other close and just squish his cheeks to his heart's content. So, he could only smile. And even though he was wearing a mask, that smile was still very obvious because of the way his eyes bent into crescents and how soft his gaze was as he was staring at Luo Yan.    

"The cutest in the world. No, maybe in the whole universe."    

Luo Yan chuckled when he heard such a cheesy answer. But he also liked this cheesy side of Shen Ji Yun. It made him more endearing. Not to mention, adorable.    

He hugged the other's arm. "Since we now have our couple costume, let's go and continue our date, my sexy Santa."    

Shen Ji Yun chuckled and held up Luo Yan's free hand before kissing it. "Your wish is my command, my cute elf."    

The two of them seemed to be in their own world, completely forgetting that there were other players around. And so these players were lucky enough to witness NightCloud CP's shameless show of love. Of course, since the two were in disguised, the people were just surprised that two guys could be this open about their love.    

Well, not being able to recognize the two, that's their complete lost.    

-----    

After going around North Street, their next destination was the Pine Forest. Just like what the name suggested, it's a forest filled with giant pine trees. Each trees was also decorated with beautiful lights which made it seem like a Christmas tree forest.      

Since the forest was too big, one could go around it using sleds driven by the Christmas elves. Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun also did the same.      

Because of how huge the pine trees were, they felt like dwarves going around a giant's forest. These pine trees also had a special characteristic. It sometimes drop off gift box with unique grade items. Of course, that sometimes was very, very, very rare.      

It just so happened that not one but two gift boxes fell on Luo Yan's lap as they tour around the place. He naturally gave one to Shen Ji Yun. Because of that Luo Yan really felt that he deserved the name 'lucky Yan Yan'.    

The both of them decided to open the two gift box tomorrow. After all, tonight was a date night. It's better if they could only focus on enjoying spending time together instead of thinking about things game-related.      

They definitely wouldn't be able to stop discussing about the game once they saw the Unique items that they got from here. Especially since the preliminaries for the next season of Arcadia Cup was getting closer and closer. In fact, it was just a month from now. Probably just after Winter vacation started.    

After a half an hour tour of the Pine Forest, they quickly moved to the next destination. It was a place called 'Lantern River'. No, it was not called that because it was a river made up of lanterns. It was because people could float lanterns on the river. They could write their wish on the lantern and let it be swept by the river water.    

During Christmas, there were a lot of players who sent their lanterns on the river. For this one day, the river was filled with nothing but lanterns. Thus, the name.      

Would Luo Yan miss this chance to participate in such an event? The answer was a big resounding 'no'.    

Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun walked to one of the river side stands selling lanterns. There were a lot of players around as expected. So, it took a while before the two got their turn to buy.    

The stand they picked was one that sold animal shaped lanterns. It's the reason why Luo Yan chose it.      

"Do you have a qilin shaped lantern?" he asked the NPC.    

Shen Ji Yun was surprised when he heard Luo Yan. Then he smiled and said to the NPC, "Then, a rabbit-shaped lantern for me."        

A satisfied smile crossed Luo Yan's lips when he heard that. As if it was totally expected.      

"Yes, we have everything here!" the NPC responded.      

Then, two lanterns appeared on the NPC's hand. One was a rabbit-shaped lantern and the other was a qilin shaped one. Shen Ji Yun paid for both and took the rabbit-shaped lantern while Luo Yan took the qilin one.      

They walked out of the cue and went straight near the river. Then, the two of them started writing their wish on the surface of the lantern they're holding. Once done, the both of them pushed their lantern on the river surface.      

"What did you wish for?" Shen Ji Yun asked as they watched the two lanterns floating away and joining other lanterns.      

Luo Yan turned to the other and said with a smile, "Don't they say that the wish might not come true if you easily reveal it to anyone? And I want this particular wish to come true. So, I can't tell it, even if it's Brother Ji Yun."    

Now Shen Ji Yun was truly curious what the other wrote.      

If one could see what was written on the qilin shaped lantern, then they would read the following;    

[I wish that Shen Ji Yun will forever be happy.]
