Chapter 325 - TO BE OBLIVIOUS
Chapter 325 – TO BE OBLIVIOUS
LUO YAN appeared at the plaza of Goldcrest City. He and Luo Jin log into the game right after breakfast. That way, they could register for the Rookie Carnival much earlier. He was sure that there would be a lot of beginners who would try to register. He didn't want to join with the huge flow of participants.
The moment he appeared in the game, his pet automatically appeared on his shoulder.
[Mashter, why are we just standing here?] – Eclipse asked.
[We're waiting for my brother.] After he said that, Eclipse's little face suddenly scrunched up. [What, you don't like my brother?]
[It's because Mashter's brother doesn't like Eclipse. So, Eclipse also doesn't like him.]
[My brother rarely likes anyone, so, you shouldn't take it to heart if he shows you a bit of dislike.] – Luo Yan said ruffling the little guy's fluffy head.
[But he likes Eclipse's pink-haired sister.]
Luo Yan chuckled when he heard that. [That he does.]
[Hmp! Eclipse doesn't think that his pink-haired sister likes Mashter's brother that much.]
[Oh? What makes you say that?] – Luo Yan asked, intrigued. Wondering what kind of opinion Eclipse had regarding the two. After all, this guy's opinion had always been interesting. Albeit, quite annoying at times. Especially if you're one of the people he's giving an opinion to.
[Pink-haired sister is treating Mashter's brother like her, well, little brother. Maybe because he's too small that's why pink-haired sister doesn't see him as a man at all.]
Luo Yan was kind of glad he was the only one who could hear what this little guy could say. If Luo Jin heard what Eclipse said just now, he would definitely shave this little fox until there's no hair left in his body.
He thought back to what Eclipse said, about Su Yuqi just treating Luo Jin as a younger brother. That's probably not too far off from his own observation. He hadn't really seen Su Yuqi reacting to Luo Jin in any sort of romantic way. Which was not really that surprising since she was four years older. Not to mention, most of her interaction with Luo Jin was in the game where he was in a form of a gnome. Just like Eclipse said, it's really hard to see him as a romantic interest when he's in that form. And it didn't really help that he was being so tsundere with his feelings.
Well, Luo Jin was still young. Maybe what he's feeling for Su Yuqi right now was just a simple puppy love. It's good for him to experience something like this. Whatever the result of this experience might be, it would definitely help him grow as a person. So, Luo Yan wouldn't get in the way of that and just let nature took its course.
"Yan!" called the familiar adorable voice of his younger brother who's in gnome form.
Luo Yan looked down and saw Luo Jin suddenly appearing beside him. He probably just arrived after teleporting here.
"Let's go?" he asked in which Luo Jin nodded.
They walked towards the Arena. Registration for the upcoming Rookie Carnival was being held at the Arena located at each of the four major cities. They chose the Arena at Goldcrest because it's the city they were most familiar with. They had spent more time here in comparison to the other two cities – Olkdale and Matlock. Both of them just reached level 86. So, they hadn't been at Alryne City. That's why Goldcrest was the best choice for them.
Luo Jin glanced at the fox sitting on his brother's shoulder. "Are you going to fight in the carnival with that pet of yours?"
Luo Yan didn't hesitate to answer, "Of course."
Luo Jin's forehead creased a bit. "Wouldn't it just get in the way?"
Eclipse glared at Luo Jin. [Mashter, your brother is looking down on Eclipse! He even referred to Eclipse as an 'it'. Does he think that Eclipse is an object?]
Luo Yan patted Eclipse's back. [Okay. Calm down. Be good. I'm sure Ah Jin didn't mean it. He's just worried about your master.]
The little fox pouted, clearly unsatisfied with Luo Jin.
Luo Yan turned to his brother. "No, I don't think he would get in the way. In fact, I have a feeling he would help me a lot."
Eclipse was obviously happy hearing what his master said. Because he pushed out his little chest and looked at the black-haired gnome proudly.
Luo Jin had a feeling that the fox just mocked him just now. But he's not sure that something closed to an NPC could produce that kind of reaction, so he just shrugged it off. If Luo Yan was confident of his pet's skills, then it was not his place to interfere. With his brother's 'black' attribute, he was confident that he wouldn't put himself at a disadvantage.
Soon, they arrived at the Arena.
Being here, Luo Yan suddenly remembered the first time he went to this city's Arena. It was when Shen Ji Yun challenged a player on the night that the advertisement for his pavilion was broadcasted. He didn't understand then why the other was so angry just because that player was running his mouth and saying obscene things. He thought it was because they were friends and he didn't like others talking about his friend like that. Little did he knew that that was not the case.
At that time, Shen Ji Yun probably already had feelings for him. That's why he decimated that player as if he killed his cat or something. He was already being so obvious. But that possibility never really crossed Luo Yan's mind. If not for his good understanding of people's emotion, he probably would not be able to discover the other's feelings for him.
But now that he already had a big realization about his own 'feelings', he wondered if it was a good thing to have such a good understanding of people's emotions. Maybe, in a way, it would be better to remain oblivious. At least he could enjoy the feeling of slowly discovering the meaning behind the fast beating of his heart.
If that was the case, then maybe his heart and his brain would align together in a more natural manner. Then he wouldn't have this problem now where his heart was already able to accept and yet his brain was still in a 'let's wait and see' state.
"Yan, what are you dazing about?" called Luo Jin, properly ending Luo Yan's 'dazed' state. "Let's go inside."
Luo Yan shook off the thoughts in his mind and just followed Luo Jin inside.
