THE guests who attended the opening night of Yuexing Pavilion were all given a private box on the second floor. Since the guests were not that much and some even accompanied each other, the private rooms on the second floor were enough. A part of these rooms was open so the people inside could see the performance happening on the stage. This way, they could have their own privacy while enjoying the performances on the stage.
At the entrance, as soon as the invited players came, an NPC would quickly welcome them and ask if they're alone or if they came there with someone. Once that was done, the NPCs would lead them to their respective private boxes. The ones who arrived there in a bigger group would, of course, get a bigger room. Then they would be asked what kind of food and drinks they wanted. If they wanted an NPC around to pour wine while watching the performances, then that was also possible.
Inside one of the boxes, Shen Ji Yun was staring intently at the figure clad in red standing on the stage. Even with that veil covering most of his face, he could still imagine how he looked right now. As if he could vividly see every features of his beautiful face. His charming peach blossom eyes and those pinkish red lips. He probably even had a mischievous smile on his lips right now. Making Shen Ji Yun want to go down there and pull that veil, so he could see that smile for himself. Even as Luo Yan walked towards the back stage, he still stared intensely at the spot when the other just stood.
He shook his head. He suddenly remembered what happened earlier this morning when Luo Yan suddenly hugged him. It was not the first time he did so, but the effect it brought him was still the same. The sensations he felt didn't even lessen by the fact that they were in a virtual reality.
The feel of his soft body against his was so real, it almost made his heart burst at that moment. He was so fl.u.s.tered, he couldn't even remember how he managed to act normally after that. He knew that that hug didn't mean anything else. It was just a way for Luo Yan to show his gratitude. He had noticed when he visited the Bai household during the Mid-Autumn Festival that the Luo family was very affectionate to each other. So, it's no wonder that Luo Yan would have no qualms hugging another person
He wanted to say that there's nothing wrong with that. But that would only be true if Shen Ji Yun only thought of him as a friend. Sadly, that was not the case. Just a simple hug and it could already conjure thousands of inappropriate images in his mind. He never thought that he would be the type of person who would have those kinds of thoughts. After all, he grew up this big never even experiencing a wet dream. It turned out that he just hadn't met the right person yet. And now that he did, just a simple hug could already bring his mind into disarray.
Should he tell Luo Yan that he shouldn't just hug people because he felt grateful to them? But then, wouldn't that mean that Shen Ji Yun wouldn't get any free hugs anymore? He suddenly became tangled. Then, a disturbing thought came to his mind. What if Luo Yan also hugged other people just because he felt grateful to them?
The temperature inside the box suddenly decreased by a few degrees.
Bai Ze who was sitting near Shen Ji Yun felt chills on his arms. "Why does it suddenly feel cold around here?" he asked, rubbing his arms.
Su Yuqi just glanced at Bai Ze and then drank tea, probably thinking that this guy was being crazy again.
Because of Bai Ze's sudden question, Shen Ji Yun realized that he inexplicably just became angry just now. And the reason was still because of some imaginary person that Luo Yan might hug in the future. He let out a long sigh. He couldn't help it. Just thinking that some other person would touch Luo Yan, his blood would already boil with anger. This was another aspect of himself that he didn't know he had. The fact that he was actually quite possessive.
He poured wine to a cup and drank it. Who would have thought that there would come a time that his heart would be completely taken by a person? And he didn't even mind it one bit. He couldn't even wait to offer his own heart to that person. He was really what people called a fool in love.
The corner of his lips curved upward, showing an almost imperceptible smile.
"Look, the first performance was starting!" Bai Ze said excitedly while looking at the stage.
As Bai Ze said, two NPCs holding a guqin appeared on the stage. They sat down at the center and started to play. Just a few notes and the audience already felt like they were suddenly surrounded by a calm and wave less sea. The sound brought by the guqin was bringing them an indescribable peace of mind. Then two other NPCs suddenly appeared on both sides of the two NPCs who were playing guqin.
The two NPCs were holding bamboo flutes in their hands. When they started to play, the sound of the flute mixing in with the guqin added color to the music. It's like the calm and wave less sea they were in suddenly had tiny ripples. And when a gong appeared from behind with another NPC pounding on it, those tiny ripples finally became a storm. Making the hearts of the people listening beating faster and faster.
Luo Yan listened to this sound with satisfaction.
"Ah Jin, you can go to the box assigned to our team if you feel bored here," he said to his brother who was also standing on the back stage, holding a little fox in his arms. "Just make sure that no one would notice you and make sure to bring Eclipse with you too."
Luo Jin thought about it and nodded. "How about you?"
Luo Yan grinned. "Of course, I have to entertain our guests."
