SHEN JI YUN didn't feel the impact of the fall. What he felt was the soft body on top of his. The waist his arm was hugging was so narrow that it seemed like he could envelop it with his two hands. His brain seemed to fizzle out. He couldn't think properly. He couldn't even think how Luo Yan suddenly appeared here without him noticing. Like a computer with an overheated central processing unit.
All the brain cells remaining active in his brain could only think of the fact that he was holding a soft rabbit in his arms. Not only that, his heart also started to beat unsteadily. It's almost like the two were competing on which one would give out first.
"Are you alright?" said the soft rabbit.
He looked down the same time that Luo Yan raised his head. Because their bodies were attached closely to each other without a space in between, the distance between their faces became only a few inches away. In this short distance, he could clearly see every part of Luo Yan's face.
From the long eyelashes that seemed like butterfly wings to the pair of blue eyes dusted with gold. The he gazed down at those luscious red lips. So many messy things suddenly entered his mind. A devil inside him kept whispering for him to close the miniscule distance between them and just take what he wanted. Plundering without care. The thin line of reason in his brain was this close to breaking.
Until Luo Yan spoke in a tone that he never heard before.
"B-Brother Ji Yun, could you let me go?"
Luo Yan's voice was soft and hesitant, there's also a trace of shame in it. Not only that, his whole face was also flushed red. Shen Ji Yun felt that thin line of reason in his brain slowly snapping. But when he saw the slight resistance on Luo Yan's face, that reason immediately came back.
He raised both hands, firmly removing the arm that was hugging the other's slender waist. Once he did that, Luo Yan quickly stood up and even moved a few steps back. Shen Ji Yun was at a lost seeing such a reaction. He also slowly stood up. He really couldn't blame Luo Yan for reacting the way he did. His action just now was almost equivalent to sexual harassment. After all, he did stare at Luo Yan's lips a bit too long for anyone's comfort. It's almost as if he's telling him what he desired to do most at that moment.
Seriously, what was wrong with him? He never lost this much control before. To the point that he was almost tempted to do something that he shouldn't. If this happened in reality, maybe a certain part of his body might have also reacted. He stopped after realizing the meaning behind what he thought just now. He almost punched himself. Did his brain completely become muddled?
It's like he suddenly became one of those hormone-crazed teenagers. He never felt something like this during his adolescent years. Where it was said that teenagers produced a great number of hormones. Making them emotionally unstable and prone to mood swings. Some even entered a rebellious phase. But Shen Ji Yun didn't experience those. He was fairly stable, like an unmoving mountain.
When most teenage boys his age either enjoyed getting into senseless fights or running after girls they find pretty, he'd rather practice karate or read a book at home. He never even joined his classmates when they asked if he wanted to watch porn with them. He thought of such activity as senseless. Why would he want to watch two strangers doing such a thing?
They thought of him as stiff. Like a eunuch who didn't have any desire. He didn't care. Mainly because it was true in a way. Even when faced with a beautiful girl, he never felt such a desire. It turned out that he just hadn't met the right person yet. Because he certainly felt the said desire just now.
Could it be those hormones that hadn't done their job during his teenage years were making a rather violent comeback right now that he found a person he liked? If that was the case, then this would definitely be a huge problem in the long run. Especially if he didn't learn to control himself.
He shook his head. Before he tried to do that, he should apologize first to Luo Yan for what happened just now. If he prolonged it any longer, it might get really awkward between the two of them. Which was the last thing he wanted to happen.
"Just now, sorry—"
Both of them said almost at the same time. They were startled and looked at each other.
"You go first."
They both said almost at the same time again.
"No, it's alright, you—"
When it happened again, Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing this, Shen Ji Yun finally let out a sigh of relief.
"The accident just now was my fault. When I teleported here, I didn't take off the Invisibility Cloak I was wearing. So, when Eclipse jumped to you, he brought the cloak with him. Which resulted to the situation earlier," Luo Yan said.
Where did that little guy went anyway? He'd definitely give him a piece of his mind once he got his hands on him.
"I see." So, that's why Luo Yan appeared out of nowhere without him noticing his arrival. Because he was wearing an Invisibility Cloak. And the sudden attack he felt earlier was probably just Eclipse trying to go to him. "I also want to apologize for my rude behavior. There was a piece of grass on the side of your lips, that's why I was staring at it," Shen Ji Yun said, lying as best as he could. "It probably got there when we both fell."
Luo Yan was startled by such a flimsy lie. If he didn't know about his feelings for him, he might call him out for lying. But since he knew, he didn't have the heart to expose him.
"I understand. There's no need for Brother Ji Yun to apologize," he said and smiled.
