Xu Sili was stunned when he was suddenly pushed back a step. Then, he felt the man's warm breath close to his ear and whispered, "Your Majesty."
His voice was soft and affectionate.
If it was any other time, this action and tone would be normal.
But the problem was …
Second Brother was standing right in front of them! Why did Si Sheng suddenly appear?
Xu Sili felt as embarrassed as when he was caught stealing candy by Second Brother when he was a child. This unexpected meeting with Si Sheng's parents made him feel very anxious.
According to his plan, he should have first made Si Sheng's presence known to Second Brother and then let them meet to establish a good impression. Then, he would reveal that they were in a relationship.
But now …
Second Brother was so sensitive. Could he have guessed it?
He secretly observed his second brother. When he saw his eyes suddenly turn cold, his heart tightened and he quickly moved away from Si Sheng's embrace.
Si Sheng sensed that he was retreating.
His heart suddenly tightened, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Yuheng again. His originally restrained hostility turned into cold murderous intent.
If not for Xu Sili's presence, perhaps he would have already attacked.
Xu Yuheng felt his scalp go numb for a moment.
It was the kind of feeling one would get when being stared at by a cold-blooded animal. However, he quickly regained his composure. He was a player now, so he could not die!
He stared back at Si Sheng without showing any signs of weakness.
He had been unhappy with this NPC for a long time. This NPC was always inexplicably lowering his impression of him!
The two of them did not speak, but it was as if there were flashes of swords flashing between them. Although he could not see Si Sheng's expression because of the angle, Xu Sili could still feel that the atmosphere between the two was not very good.
This could be seen from Second Brother's expression.
What's going on?
Has Second Brother already met Si Sheng? And what unpleasant things had happened?
Xu Sili was stunned. He suddenly realized that his initial plan was probably not going to work.
Si Sheng would never have thought that after establishing a relationship with him, Lord God would actually meet with this brave warrior alone! She even avoided his intimate actions in front of this person …
Why?
Could it be that the deity was still thinking about this person? Such a thought only flashed through his mind, but it made him feel as if his heart had been stabbed by a blunt knife.
However, looking at the young man's bewildered expression, Si Sheng clenched his fists. In the end, he lowered his eyes to hide the jealousy that was driving him crazy.
He couldn't do that. He was very clear that if he really attacked this brave warrior in front of him, or even killed him, the final result would only be to disappoint Lord God.
This was something he couldn't accept. He would never allow his god to abandon him a second time.
However, he also couldn't stand the sight of the two of them standing together!
He clenched his fists again, and there seemed to be a faint blue light flashing between his fingers under the gloves.
"That …"
Xu Sili wanted to say something to ease the tense atmosphere between the two of them, but he suddenly felt the surrounding temperature plummet.
Following that, the heavy snow that had stopped yesterday suddenly started to fall again.
Xu Sili felt the snowflakes coming from outside the pavilion. He was so cold that he forgot everything for a moment. He wrapped his coat tightly around himself, but he felt a bone-chilling cold. It was so cold that his teeth chattered.
"Your Majesty …"
"Xiao Li …"
Two male voices sounded at the same time.
Si Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked up at Xu Yuheng in disbelief. He actually … knew Lord God's real name? And he called her so intimately!
Xu Yuheng noticed Si Sheng's gaze and quickly realized that he had let it slip.
Xiao Li was now Snow Roland, an NPC in the game. With the level of intelligence of an NPC in the game, if she was exposed, it was impossible to predict what would happen.
Damn it, it was all because of Si Sheng, that eyesore, that he made such a low-level mistake!
However, Xu Yuheng had been through a lot, so he quickly changed his words naturally, "Your Majesty Snow, you should go back to your room and rest. Don't catch a cold."
Seeing how his little brother was shivering from the cold, Xu Yuheng knew that he was most afraid of the cold. His heart was filled with tenderness. Just as he was about to reach out and touch his head, a large hand grabbed his wrist before he could touch him.
A blood-red damage value appeared above Xu Yuheng's head.
F * ck!
What is Si Sheng doing?!
When Xu Sili saw the blood-red damage value, he was stunned. His face, which was already pale from the cold, suddenly lost all color.
Xu Yuheng looked at his hand that was being held and frowned. He had lowered his sense of reality, so he did not feel any pain. However, he was currently at level 16, so he only had 9500 HP.
Si Sheng had only squeezed his wrist, but he had actually dealt more than 800 damage?
This NPC's stats were too overpowered! Xu Yuheng was a little doubtful. Would he really be able to get his revenge when he reached level 100?
"Si Sheng, what are you doing?"
Xu Sili snapped out of his daze and quickly slapped Si Sheng's hand away, freeing his second brother's hand from his grip.
"Are you okay?"
He looked at Xu Yuheng's hand with concern and said anxiously, "Si Sheng didn't do it on purpose. You know how strong he is, so he didn't control his strength …"
Behind him, Si Sheng looked at the back of his hand that had been slapped away. He looked at the young man's concerned expression and smiled bitterly.
Xu Sili couldn't care less about him now. He just wanted to make a good impression on him. He hurriedly took out the blood medicine from his space capsule and was about to apply it on his second brother's wound.
"It's okay. Keep the medicine for yourself."
Xu Yuheng pulled his hand back and adjusted his glasses. "I just remembered that I have something to do. I'll go … I'll go back first. Don't stay here in the cold. Be careful not to get sick."
Xu Sili observed Si Sheng's uncertain expression. His heart was in his throat, but there were some things that weren't suitable for him to say in front of Si Sheng …
Just as he was about to ask him to stay, Xu Yuheng suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh right, let's take a few photos."
He put his arm around Xu Sili's shoulder and took a few photos with him. He waved at his younger brother and glanced at Si Sheng before he went offline.
Si Sheng didn't move. He just looked at them.
The night wind mixed with ice and snow blew his bangs, casting a shadow over his eyes. In the darkness, no one could see his eyes clearly.
Xu Sili didn't have time to care about him either.
Ah, he's really in trouble …
He screamed like a groundhog in his heart. How could Si Sheng hurt his second brother?! Although it wasn't very harmful, it was very dangerous!
How could Second Brother still have a good impression of Si Sheng in this situation?
In his family, only his second brother and mother were easy to talk to. If he couldn't win over his second brother, then he didn't even need to think about his eldest brother and father!
Xu Sili's head was as big as a cow's. He felt the coldness of the winter night.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but glance sideways and glare at Si Sheng. Si Sheng, on the other hand, still had his eyes lowered. His entire person was shrouded in a low pressure.
Xu Sili's arrogance couldn't help but stagnate.
He couldn't help but reflect on himself.
Actually, if he had told his second brother's identity in advance, perhaps this embarrassing incident wouldn't have happened … But the problem was — how should he explain this?
Si Sheng thought that he was a god and treated him like a believer.
Although he didn't want to see him lower himself, he was also afraid — if Si Sheng knew the truth and knew that he was just an ordinary person, would he still love him as much as he did now?
The more important Si Sheng was in his heart, the more anxious Xu Sili became.
However, his rationality told him that it was time to come clean.
He looked at Si Sheng and gently approached him.
Si Sheng's eyebrows were still lowered. His body was tense as if he was suppressing something.
Xu Sili reached out to hug him and buried his face in his arms.
Even in the middle of the snowstorm, Si Sheng's body was like a heater, making him feel less cold.
Si Sheng let him hug him and lowered his eyes to look at the top of his head.
So, what was going on now?
"Si Sheng, I …" Xu Sili felt his teeth chattering the moment he opened his mouth. He paused and changed his words. "Let's go to the bathtub. I want to take a bath."
Si Sheng pursed his thin lips. In the end, he reached out to hug him and disappeared with him.
In reality.
The moment Xu Yuheng went offline, he called the research center and contacted Wang Lao.
It was already past ten at night. However, the second beta test had just started, so Wang Lao was still busy at the research center.
When he saw his phone number, his head started to hurt, but he had no choice but to pick it up. After the phone rang a second time, he finally picked it up.
"Little Mr. Xu, what's the matter? It's so late." Wang Lao's tired voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Xu Yuheng paused for a moment. His mind, which had been filled with anger, suddenly calmed down.
No matter what, Xiao Li's safety was the most important thing.
He deliberated for a moment and said, "Wang Lao, I just went offline."
"Okay."
Wang Lao nodded. "Miss Yin's condition is stable. There will be relevant personnel staying there to observe. If there is an emergency, they will immediately take action."
Xu Yuheng didn't expect the professor to talk about the Yin family first.
He had been waiting outside the summoning array for a long time. He thought that the experiment to connect the consciousness of the vegetative person to the game had failed.
In the end, just as he was about to leave in disappointment, he unexpectedly saw the boy from the Yin family walking out of the main hall with a girl.
At that time, he realized that the experiment hadn't failed.
Miss Yin, who was in a coma, didn't know about the experiment. When she entered the game, she was frightened. The pre-operation took a long time. Then, she spent a lot of time reuniting with her nephew, whom she hadn't seen in twenty years.
It wasn't until Yin Zhaoyang asked Mr. Yin to call her in the game cabin that the father and daughter finally spoke again after twenty years.
Xu Yuheng didn't continue to disturb them. After confirming that the experiment was feasible, he left.
"Thank you for your hard work."
He said to Wang Lao, "This experiment is very important. Please don't make any mistakes."
If they could really connect the consciousness of the vegetative person to the game and ensure that their health wasn't affected, then the significance of Star Age would be increased to another level.
The success of Yin Xing also proved that the game had a special market.
Not to mention people with disabilities, even people with myopia who could remove their glasses in the game would be a good gimmick and selling point.
After a few more words with Wang Lao, Xu Yuheng finally asked about his original purpose.
"Wang Lao, I want to see the game's information after the open beta. Please send it to my email."
He had to make sure that there wouldn't be another monster attack!
However, Wang Lao, who used to give him access to the game's settings and information, didn't give him what he wanted this time.
"Little Mr. Xu, these are still confidential at the moment. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Xu Yuheng frowned. "I can't see it?"
Wang Lao wanted to say that he was guarding against Xu Yuheng, but he couldn't be too direct since Xu Yuheng was one of the investors.
"You can ask Mr. Xu. This is what he wants."
He directly brought up Xu Fengqing's name. This was also the result of their discussion after the deletion plans were continuously rejected.
Xu Yuheng couldn't remain an outsider. Not only did he use his foresight to set up a mercenary group, but he also told his "little brother" a lot of things that he wasn't supposed to know. This violated the interests and principles of the gaming group.
They could proudly claim that there were no cheats in Star Age, but reality slapped them in the face.
Wasn't Xu Yuheng the f * cking biggest "cheat"?
Anyway, this little Mr. Xu was already on the gaming group's blacklist. Other than some public information, he wouldn't be able to find out anything else from the gaming group.
Xu Yuheng was speechless.
At this point, how could he not understand Wang Lao's meaning? But …
He really couldn't explain it clearly!
Even if he did, who would believe him? He was very curious about how his little brother was so smart. He was able to figure out the carefully designed settings in such a short time.
Facing his big brother and Wang Lao's suspicion, he could only silently take the blame.
Sigh, he really suffered too much for this family!
Wang Lao's attitude was firm. He couldn't do anything for the time being, so he could only talk about other things.
Thinking about that ridiculously strong kid, Xu Yuheng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Wang Lao, let's talk about Si Sheng …"
The lights in the palace weren't very bright. Amidst the steam, it was shrouded in a layer of hazy gauze.
Steam continuously rose from the pool.
Xu Sili lay on the edge of the pool. He felt the cold completely dispel and couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.
He lifted his eyelids and looked at the man who was still standing on the shore.
"Si Sheng."
Xu Sili looked at him and supported his chin with one hand. He originally wanted to clarify things with Si Sheng, but seeing him like this, he suddenly remembered something.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Si Sheng ignored him and focused on controlling the magic circle under the pool to provide enough warmth for the room.
"Splash — —"
There was the sound of water, followed by the soft sound of bare feet stepping on the tiles. A pair of slender but beautiful arms hugged his waist from behind.
"You're definitely hiding something from me." Xu Sili leaned on his shoulder and puffed out his cheeks. "I've always felt that there was something wrong with you."
"Your Majesty said that I'm hiding something from you. What about Your Majesty?"
Si Sheng's lips twitched. "Don't you have anything to hide from me?"
Xu Sili listened to his distant tone and couldn't help but frown. As for his accusation, he directly admitted it.
"Yes, I do have something I haven't told you …"
In any case, he was already prepared to be honest with him, even though he still wasn't sure. He leaned on the man's shoulder and gently picked at the marshal's epaulet with his fingertips.
"But I asked you first, so you have to tell me first."
Si Sheng continued to remain silent.
He didn't want to reveal this layer, nor did he want to know what kind of unforgettable past he had with that person. He also didn't want to know … that in his heart, he couldn't compare to that person.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Sili sighed.
After thinking about it, he let go of his waist and turned to face the man. Perhaps the man didn't expect his sudden action, so he couldn't avoid it and unexpectedly saw a pair of red eyes.
Xu Sili was stunned.
He held Si Sheng's face and gently rubbed the slightly cold water vapor that had condensed on his skin. Looking at his pitiful eyes, his heart softened.
"Si Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
He pressed his forehead against his forehead and gently pecked his lips. "If I did anything wrong, can you tell me, okay? I've never been in a relationship before, so I really don't know … "
The man, who had originally softened under his comforting words, was provoked by some unknown sentence.
"You really didn't?"
His eyes were red. "You really didn't have anyone else before me?"
Xu Sili was stunned. He could guess that Si Sheng was jealous because of Second Brother, but he didn't do anything intimate with Second Brother, so he didn't feel wronged. Why was he talking about the past now?
"I saw the two of you hugging."
At this moment, he heard Si Sheng say this.
What? Xu Sili's eyes widened.
"I saw you hugging that warrior on the day I came back from Lan Yue City."
Si Sheng gritted his teeth. "Also, you went to Lan Yue City to see him before, right? It was the day I was summoned back when I was fighting the Nine-Star Beast. "
Xu Sili was completely stunned.
Damn, Si Sheng had known all along? When did he find out?
It was as if many things were connected at once. He looked at Si Sheng's angry and sorrowful expression and felt a little guilty. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So this was the reason why he kept insisting that he was the only one?
"I don't have the kind of relationship you think I have with him." Xu Sili said, "This is actually something I didn't tell you. I wanted to make it clear to you anyway."
"Si Sheng, listen carefully. I'm not a god."
Xu Sili pursed his lips. His eyes were uneasy but firm.
"I come from the same world as the warriors. The warrior you misunderstood is Xu Yuheng. He's …"
"My biological brother."
Si Sheng looked at him blankly and opened his mouth slightly. "Huh?"
