Chapter 895: SOMEHOW ANNOYING
LI XU MIN felt very excited. As soon as he finished all his scheduled for today, he immediately logged in the game and went to their team's personal studio. He was hoping that they were still filming and he wasn't yet too late. It's because he wanted to really meet YUN.
When he found out that the other would be accompanying Noctis for today's shoot, he quickly decided that he would finish his schedule for today as the fastest speed so he could meet YUN.
He had been wanting to meet the other since he started playing Arcadia. Not just seeing the other from afar but directly having a conversation with him. But because YUN wasn't exactly the 'sociable' type, add to the fact that he himself was not the extroverted type, there's just no appropriate chance for that to happen.
No, actually there was a time where he could meet the other. It was after the preliminaries of the Rookie Carnival. There was that issue about that one participant that somehow got their two teams – Celestials and Yunyue – involved.
Duan Yu and Zhong Hui went to Yunyue's headquarters to discuss that with them. He wanted to go but Zhong Hui refused and said it might just make things awkward. He couldn't really refute that, so at the end, he didn't go with them.
This would probably the only chance he would get to actually talk to the other.
Arriving at the studio, he quickly scanned the room and let out a sigh of relief when he saw a tall man with long dark purple hair and a pair of antler like horns above his head. The other was talking to a pretty white-haired elf.
They're still here!
Li Xu Min walked towards where Duan Yu and Song Liuli were.
"Ah Yu, can you introduce me to YUN?" – was the first thing he said.
Song Liuli rolled his eyes and didn't even bother to greet the other. When it came to YUN, the other was like a giddy fanboy. Duan Yu, who also knew about this fact, didn't say much and just told the other to follow him.
Li Xu Min happily followed. That's when they saw YUN eating a spoonful of cake that Noctis gave him. He was a bit startled when he saw that. Especially when YUN actually smiled.
"It seemed that YUN and Noctis get along pretty well," he commented.
Duan Yu, who was walking beside Li Xu Min, glanced at the other. He couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know if this friend of his was just too dense or too innocent for his own good. No wonder no matter how much Zhong Hui showed his feelings towards the other, he couldn't make any headway in their relationship.
The only way for that to change would probably for Zhong Hui to directly confess. But he doubted if Zhong Hui would ever do that. That guy also had problems of his own. He would probably only really confess if something dire happened. Like Li Xu Min marrying some girl or something.
Luckily for Zhong Hui, Li Xu Min had no particular interest on things like romance. He's too busy with his career and studies to even care about such things.
"Yes, they get along really, really well," Duan Yu responded to what Li Xu Min said.
When they stood behind Noctis and YUN, the two didn't pay them any attention. It's not that they were purposely ignoring them, they were just simply in their own world. So, Duan Yu had no choice but to clear his throat to call their attention.
"Our captain dropped by and wanted to say 'hello'," he said when the two turned to their direction.
Li Xu Min didn't waste that chance and quickly introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Li Xu Min. Thank you for agreeing with our team's request to do this promotional video."
He didn't bother to introduce himself using his game account name. What's the use of doing that when he appeared on commercials and magazines using his real name? It would only seem more rude if he introduce himself as 'Michael'.
Luo Yan stared at the young man who happened to be team Celestial's captain. He had seen the other's pictures online. Just like the many comments made about the other, he truly looked like an angel. Even more so in his game avatar.
He smiled back at Li Xu Min. "It's fine. It's something I owed Uriel anyway."
"And since that favor is already paid, I hope you won't bother Noctis again," Shen Ji Yun added while looking at Uriel coldly.
Li Xu Min also knew that the reason Duan Yu was able to recruit Noctis for this promotional video was because of this mysterious 'favor'. He didn't have much opinion about it since it was between the two. But seeing that YUN seemed to be annoyed by it, he felt the need to rectify the situation.
"To show our gratitude for your time and effort, I'd like to send some special items to your item. If that's alright?" he said.
Luo Yan's ears perked up at the mention of 'special items'. Since this was a top team in the game, surely they had a lot of legendary items in their treasury. He nodded in secret. At least Li Xu Min was sensitive enough to know that he had to be compensated for this. For that, this guy deserved a thumbs up.
"Thank you. We will certainly not reject that," he said before turning to Shen Ji Yun. "Right, Brother YUN?"
Shen Ji Yun only nodded.
"Great," Li Xu Min said, smiling like an angel. Then, he suddenly turned towards Shen Ji Yun. "By the way, I'm really happy to finally meet you, YUN. It's probably cliché to say this but I'm actually a really big fan of yours. Watching your fight during the finals of the first Arcadia Cup was the reason why I decided to play this game. That's why I'm very happy to have a chance to talk to you like this."
A crease slowly appeared on Luo Yan's smooth forehead as he watched Li Xu Min. Somehow, that smile he considered as angelic suddenly became annoying.
