The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

LUO YAN was browsing the game forum because Yu Jiao sent him a message telling him that the game forum was filled with gossip about him and Shen Ji Yun. So, after breakfast, he went back to his room and quickly checked it. It's a good thing that Luo Jin didn't have the habit of checking the game forum. Or else, he would be interrogated again. 

And now, he was rolling around his bed while browsing the game forum using his phone.

The top post immediately made his brows shot up to his forehead. 

[BIG NEWS - Yunyue's captain on a date with a moon elf!]

Luo Yan opened it and a couple of screenshots of him and Shen Ji Yun's gama avatar together were posted. All were obviously taken yesterday when they were in Tropical Land. There were photos of them standing close together, then riding horses, eating crepes, even the small, inadvertent touches were also captured! 

[Look at all these sweet photos. Can anyone doubt that they're not on a date?] – written by the one who originally posted all these screenshots on the game forum.

[It's really YUN! Why would this high-cold king be in a place like Tropical Land? It totally doesn't match his setting!]

[Upstairs didn't you read the title? He's on a date!]

[Hey, I know this moon elf. If I'm not mistaken his name is Noctis. Why did it look like he became much prettier?]

[I've seen this moon elf once. He's really pretty. I have a hunch that he might be a 'she' and is just using a male avatar.]

[Was that the point? That emotionless looking Qilin actually went on a date! I almost couldn't believe my eyes.]

[Why do you all assume that they're on a date? I heard this Noctis is now a member of Yunyue. Maybe they're just doing some kind of task or something.]

[Upstairs, can you not please ruin our imagination?]

[That's right! Besides, are girls the only one allowed to be pretty? That's so sexist! Boys can be pretty too, you know?]

[True. Noctis is a very fine example of that.]

[I think we're all going off-topic. Can someone tell me if YUN really went on a date with this Noctis?]

[I was also at Tropical Land yesterday and happened to see the two. My eyes were almost blinded by dog food.]

[Me too. I also have pictures to prove it.]

Then a string of photos was attached. After that, a few people also posted photos of Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun's game avatars. It seemed like all their interactions while they were in Dream Land were captured. These people were even better than some third-rate paparazzi. Now he was glad that Shen Ji Yun suggested that they disguised themselves. If not, then the photos taken by these people would definitely be more than these.

He continued on reading the comments.

[Man, why do I feel like I've just been fed a pack of dog food?]

[I know right? They're just looking at each other by anyone could tell how special one was to the other.]

Luo Yan was a bit startled when he read that comment. Was that really the case? 

He once again looked at the photos. There's one thing that was particularly noticeable. And it was the way Shen Ji Yun was looking at him. It was so gentle and soft. It almost looked like those beast-like amethyst colored eyes were melting. Melting for the person that gaze was directed.

Luo Yan's face unknowingly heated up. Because he also suddenly remembered that thing he did yesterday during the Ferris wheel ride. He quickly shook his head and tried his best to remove that thought.

[Why doesn't anyone say the obvious problem here? They're both guys! Shouldn't that be more of the focus?] 

[Alas, someone is finally here to make sense! How come no one is even mentioning this?]

[So, is YUN actually gay? I suddenly got goosebumps. And not the good kind, mind you.]

[Well, if it's that moon elf, maybe I could also bat for the other team.]

[Seriously? That shit is disgusting, man.]

Luo Yan read these comments and his expression slowly turned dark. He knew that things like these couldn't be avoided. After all, this country was not exactly receptive towards the concept of same-sex love. In fact, most thought it was something abnormal. Some even detested it with all they had. It couldn't be help since that's just society worked. But that didn't mean that he could just accept it.

Anger started to bubble up inside him. He wanted to beat the shit out of all these people. But what could he do to people who just posted anonymously to some game forum? Moreover, what if Shen Ji Yun read these? He would definitely be hurt. 

But if there were comments like those, there were also other comments that were the complete opposite.

[So, what if they're gays? I didn't know that being gay is a crime now.]

[You people, are you still living in the ancient times? What's wrong with two men dating? Two men could even get married in some countries now.] 

[Correct! It's already the 21st century. People should have more of an open mind.]

[This kind of discrimination is the reason why our country's society is still like this.]

[It's really maddening to see these kind of narrow-minded people.]

[I don't really care. I just think they look good together.]

[True. I also think they look good together.]

[Guys, don't you know? Their CP has a name! It's called NightCloud CP. I invite you all to our fan club dedicated to this beautiful CP!]

[Count me in!]

[Me as well!]

Luo Yan read these comments and the anger in his heart subsided. That's right. There would always be people who would not be so judgmental. Their opinions matter more than those people who could only spout negativities.

He decided to close the forum. He put down his phone on the bedside table and then took the VR helmet lying there. 

It's time to log in to Arcadia. He and Shen Ji Yun still had a hidden task to finish.
