The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)

LUO YAN felt like his fighting spirit was being challenged. So, just out of the feeling of not wanting to lose, he also started acting pitiful.

"Oh no, I'm not blaming you or anything. I- I'm just worried that you won't be able to produce a high-quality video because of my unpreparedness," he said, his eyes started to water as if tears would fall at any second. "I- I don't blame you, I blame myself."

Shen Ji Yun frowned, not liking what he's seeing at all. He quickly put his arm around Luo Yan's shoulders and gently comforted him. "It's okay. No one's blaming you." He gave a cold glare to Uriel and the woman. "If anyone dares to, I will challenge them to a PvP and will make sure that it will be the most humiliating defeat of their lives."

Luo Yan's acting almost cracked because of how serious Shen Ji Yun sounded. He would bet that the other probably didn't even notice that he was just acting. The moment he saw him about to cry, Shen Ji Yun just immediately decided that it was Uriel and Song Liuli's fault. Hence, the hostility.

If he wouldn't look like a total lunatic, he would have already laughed out loud because of Shen Ji Yun's cuteness. So, he could only opt for the next best thing – putting his head on Shen Ji Yun's shoulder and letting his long silky hair obstruct his expression.

Song Liuli felt the corner of her eye twitching. She felt like a pitcher who threw a fastball expecting a homerun, only for the batter to hit the ball and throw it right back at her. It didn't really help that YUN suddenly threatened them from out of nowhere like the crazy guy that he was.

She was actually on the verge of challenging YUN to a PvP just so she could have an excuse to really blast him off. Argh, really, it had been so long since she last felt this annoyed.

Then she felt a gentle pat on her back. She glanced at Duan Yu. Even though the other was not looking at her, she knew that he was silently telling her not to lose her temper. So, she gazed down and took a few calming breaths until he managed to calm down.

Once she did, she decided to just let Duan Yu do all the talking. She felt like her sanity would completely disappear if she continued to talk with the two sitting in front of them.

But somehow, after making that decision, she felt like she lost a fight, if that was even possible. Still, she didn't change her mind. Because controlling her temper and not showing these two her true self was much more important than that.

Duan Yu looked back and forth between Noctis and YUN. It's like he was watching a scene in which a boyfriend was defending his girlfriend against the people bullying her. Which was very entertaining, mind you.

It's not just the way YUN talked. It's his body language. Earlier, the way he stood in front of Noctis. And now, how he put his arm around his shoulders. Everything just screamed how important Noctis was to him.

It's not something someone would do just because they're close friends. YUN's actions spoke the real status between him and Noctis.

Duan Yu smiled with interest. Truly, how unexpectedly fascinating.

"Then you don't have to worry. Because you only have to appear at the end of the video. You literally only have one action to do that will only last for a few seconds," he said. "So, do we have a deal?"

Luo Yan raised his head, already over his pitiful act. "I have a question first. Why do you need me for this when you have your captain?"

It was a question that had been bothering him since earlier. If they only needed a partner for Song Liuli, wouldn't Li Xu Min be much more perfect compared to him? At least with Li Xu Min, they didn't have to have this kind of meeting at all and they could just go straight with the filming.

"Ah, it's because our captain and Li Li look more like siblings which would not really fit this promotional video," Duan Yu said when he heard that question. "And more importantly, because you look good."

He saw YUN immediately glaring at him the moment he said that last bit. So, he smiled at the other and added;

"What I said didn't have a deeper meaning behind it. I just meant it as it is. Because Noctis does look good. It can't be that Captain YUN thinks otherwise, right?" He looked playfully at the other. "After all, in your eyes, Noctis must be the most beautiful."

Song Liuli glanced at Duan Yu, wondering what he's on about. But at the end, she just shrugged because she really didn't care much.

Luo Yan, on the other hand, felt the muscle on his face just twitched because of the obvious meaning behind Uriel's words. He should have known that this sly fox would quickly notice his relationship with Shen Ji Yun.

He glanced helplessly at his boyfriend. Well, it's not like this guy was trying to hide it anyway. Not that he hated it. If someone he loved was blatantly showing his affection for him, then he could only feel happy.

He turned to Uriel and said, changing the subject, "What exactly is the theme of this promotional video?"

"A Christmas date."

The moment Uriel said that, the temperature in the room suddenly turn into a freezing point.

Luo Yan turned to the source and just like he expected, Shen Ji Yun's expression was already so dark one would think he would bleed out ink if someone pinched his cheek.

He held Shen Ji Yun's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. But it seemed that that didn't work because the other turned to him and whispered;

"Let's call Bai Ze and let him do this promotional video."

Luo Yan burst out laughing when he heard that.
