SHEN JI YUN was feeling all giddy and excited inside. They were finally going to Tropical Land! Although they were here for that moon elf, surely he could convince Luo Yan to go to the famous attractions of the amusement park. Everything would have been perfect, if not for a certain light bulb with them. 

He secretly glanced at the little black fox sitting on Luo Yan's shoulder. He couldn't really feel that they were in a date because of this small light bulb. He wasn't sure how much this little fox could understand their conversation, but he had found Luo Yan looking at Eclipse a couple of times since the fox hatched from its beast egg. He had a feeling that the two were having their own conversation. 

Shen Ji Yun didn't want Luo Yan's attention to be taken by the little fox, even if just for a moment, while they were in the amusement park. His illusion of a 'date' would definitely be broken. He knew it was kind of petty of him to think that way. But what could he do? He still didn't have the courage to directly ask Luo Yan to go on a date with him. If he did that, his rabbit would definitely know his feelings for him. And he was still not ready to face the consequence of that possibility. 

He couldn't gamble on the small possibility that Luo Yan might accept his feelings. Because, in his opinion, the chance of Luo Yan rejecting him and completely cutting off ties with him was still greater. How could he simply let that happen? So, he could only succumb to petty tricks like this to spend more time with his rabbit.

He looked again at the little fox. Already preparing to get him out of the picture.

[Mashter, Mashter, the Captain is staring at Eclipse! Is it because Eclipse is too cute?] – Eclipse asked while covering his face with his front paws as if shy.

Luo Yan glanced at the little fox on his shoulder before turning to Shen Ji Yun who was indeed looking at Eclipse. "What's wrong, Brother Ji Yun?"

Before answering, Shen Ji Yun stopped walking and faced Luo Yan. "Can Eclipse understand me if I talk to him?"

As an answer, Eclipse nodded enthusiastically. 

"Well, as you can see, this little guy can understand whatever you say to him," Luo Yan said, a bit confused on why Shen Ji Yun asked that.

Shen Ji Yun nodded and then turned to the little fox on Luo Yan's shoulder. "Eclipse, I bought a Mana pod for you. If you soak in it, your leveling would definitely smoother and faster."

Eclipse eyes widened. [Really? Thank you, Captain!]

"He said thanks," Luo Yan said, conveying to Shen Ji Yun what Eclipse had said.

"But the effectiveness of this Mana pod decreased as days passed by. It's better for Eclipse to soak in it now, so as to gain its full effect. But the Mana pod is in my room at the team's headquarters. So, Eclipse had to go there now. Don't worry, I prepared a lot of Mana fruit that Eclipse could eat while soaking at the Mana pod. What do you say, should you go there now?"

Both master and pet stared at Shen Ji Yun after he finished what he was saying. They looked at him as if they couldn't believe what he just said. He suddenly felt embarrassed. It's like both of them had seen through him. But he couldn't just take back what he said. And he didn't want to take it back in the first place. So, he just thickened his face and continued to stare at Eclipse.

[Mashter, why does Eclipse feel like Captain was trying to cheat me?]

Luo Yan didn't say that Shen Ji Yun was indeed trying to cheat him. With such a flimsy excuse, it was quite obvious that he was trying to get rid of Eclipse. Like giving a child sweets so they would behave. 

[Really? I don't think so. Maybe he's just worried that the Mana pod he bought you would be wasted.] – he said, looking at Shen Ji Yun meaningfully. Although he was still not sure what the other was planning, he decided to play along with him. It's not like Shen Ji Yun would do anything to harm him, anyway. Then he turned his head to the little fox on his shoulder. [Why don't you take this chance to take a break? Soaking in Mana while eating your favorite fruit is definitely better than doing this task with us. What do you think?]

Eclipse looked tangled. It's like he wanted to say 'yes' but at the same time, he also wanted to say 'no'. At the end, after a minute of entanglement, he still said, [Okay. I'll go.]

Luo Yan turned to Shen Ji Yun. "He said he'll go."

A very obvious smile appeared on Shen Ji Yun's face. "Great!"

[Mashter, I suddenly want to take back what I said. Captain is definitely cheating me so he could be alone with you!]

Luo Yan ruffled Eclipse's head. [What nonsense? Besides, you already said 'yes'. It's rude to take back your words.]

The little fox let out a long sigh. [As expected, Mashter still chose to take Captain's side.]

Luo Yan just chose to ignore the fox's little grievance. 

Shen Ji Yun took out a special teleportation scroll. This one would directly bring the user to his room at their team's headquarters. He quickly activated the teleportation scroll, just in case the little fox suddenly changed his mind, and then attached it to Eclipse's forehead. Before Eclipse could say anything, he was already teleported away.

Luo Yan glanced at his empty shoulder and then at Shen Ji Yun who obviously couldn't hide his happiness. He now started to believe what Eclipse said about the other wanting to be alone with him. 

"Let's go?" Shen Ji Yun asked him.

Luo Yan nodded and they continued to walk towards the direction of Tropical Land.

After more than 10 minutes of walking, they finally arrived at their destination. Luo Yan looked up at the floating sign with the words 'Tropical Land' and then at the long line queuing up to enter the amusement park. Most probably to buy tickets.

"I already bought two tickets for us. So, there's no need to line up and we can just directly enter inside," Shen Ji Yun said.

Luo Yan stared at the other's excited expression. A sudden thought flashed in his mind and he couldn't stop the helpless smile that crossed his lips.

This guy wouldn't think that this was a date, right?
