Chapter 915: CHRISTMAS DATE (I)

"CAN you take us to the most famous dating spot here in Yule Island?" Luo Yan asked.

There's only a few hours left before the island closed once again. The two of them should at least go to as many places as possible and thoroughly enjoy the island. The best way to do that was to have this Christmas elf led them.

"Oh, so you're a couple. My apologies for not noticing it immediately," the elf said, bowing his head slightly.

Luo Yan didn't deny it. What's there to deny when it's the truth? Shen Ji Yun suddenly coughed though, as if he just choked on his own spit. Luo Yan glanced sideways at the other and then chuckled inwardly. The other was definitely feeling shy because of the mention of them being a 'couple'.

Especially since there were other players around them who clearly heard what the Christmas elf said. As evidence of the murmurs surrounding them.

"They're a couple?"

"Wow, amazing. This is my first time seeing two guys dating. It's kind of heart fluttering."

"I know, right? I feel the same as well."

"How can you be sure that they're both guys? Maybe one of them is a girl in real life and just chose a male avatar."

"Why are you making such an assumption? In the first place, what's wrong with two guys being together? Isn't that just another form of love?"

"Hey, I would have agreed if you didn't say the last part. What another form? It's just the same 'love' that normal couples have."

Luo Yan didn't pay much attention to these gossips. But that last part actually made him smile. That's right, what he and Shen Ji Yun had was not some other form of love, it's just the same love that two human being who fell in love with each other experienced.

It's special and also not special at the same time.

Special because it's something that the two of them shared. And not special in a way that it was something that could be find in many people.

"We have a special couple's tour, do you want to avail?" the elf asked, bringing Luo Yan back to his senses. "If you avail, we will offer you a 20% discount."

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun. "What do you think, Brother Ji Yun? Should we avail?"

Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat first before nodding. "Okay."

After than confirmation, Shen Ji Yun paid and their special tour of the island started.

-----

Their first destination was the most famous street on the island called North Street. According to their guide – the Christmas elf driving the sled – it had a lot of different shops that any couple could enjoy. They could also enjoy the beautiful street light decorations as they walked and enjoyed the many shops around.

Since North Street was the closest to the station, they decided to go there first. After arriving, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun got off the sled. The elf told them that they could just return to the spot he parked the sled once they decided to go to the next destination.

True to the description given to them by the elf, North Street was filled with beautiful lanterns floating around. The shops were also decorated with colorful lights. One could really feel the spirit of Christmas just by walking and looking around.

"Brother Ji Yun, let's buy that!" Luo Yan said, excitedly pointing at a food cart selling candied haws.

Yes, aside from shops there were also food carts around. In Luo Yan's mind, this street already became top notch because of that.

Shen Ji Yun turned to the food cart he pointed. "Then, I'll buy you one. Just wait here."

Before Luo Yan could respond, the other already walked towards the cart. As he watched Shen Ji Yun's back, he couldn't help but smile. It didn't take long for the other to return with a stick of candied haws in his hand. Arriving in front of him, Shen Ji Yun presented him the stick of candied haws like some bouquet of flowers.

"Here."????re????????????????????oν????????.????????m

Luo Yan, of course, accepted it. "You didn't buy one for you."

"Well, it's kind of hard to eat with this mask on," Shen Ji Yun said. "Besides, you know I'm not really that fond of sweets. Compared to eating one, I'd rather watch you eat instead. That would definitely be much sweeter."

Luo Yan smiled. "Oh, you, your inner Casanova is surfacing again."

A helpless smile crossed Shen Ji Yun's lips. Because this was not the first time Luo Yan called him that. But still, he felt a bit embarrassed. He actually still couldn't understand why his rabbit would call him a hidden 'Casanova'.

According to the other, it's because he often said flirtatious things without him realizing its impact to the one he's saying it too. So, it would come out as if he's flirting with the other.

Honestly, it really didn't cross his mind that it would come off that way. How could he when he didn't even know what 'flirting' was? The things that he said to Luo Yan, that according to the other was him 'flirting', were reflections of his honest feelings. So, really, this flirting business was simply him showing just how much he liked the other.

Now, Shen Ji Yun wondered if his unintentional 'flirting' actually helped him won Luo Yan's heart. If it actually did, then he should really be thankful.

A soft touch on his hand interrupted his thoughts. When he looked down, he saw Luo Yan's fingers intertwining with his. He looked up and Luo Yan smiled at him. Shen Ji Yun couldn't help but laugh because of the brown sugar sauce around the other's lips from eating candied haws.

"Let's go?" Luo Yan asked.

At that moment, Shen Ji Yun truly felt like he should bring out his inner Casanova, as Luo Yan would call it.

So, he leaned towards the other. When their faces were just a few centimeters away, he pulled down his mask and licked the brown sugar sauce on the corner of Luo Yan's lips. He quickly pulled the mask up as he leaned back.

"Hmm... how sweet."
