VCRMM: Chapter 101 Part 2

To Xu Sili’s surprise, he had a good night’s sleep last night.

Originally, he thought he would lose sleep due to the conversation they had before going to bed. Yet when he woke up the next day, he found he was full of energy. It was the normal state after he had a good night’s sleep.

Today’s weather obviously wasn’t as cold as yesterday.

Xu Sili stuck his head out of the quilt nervously when he found that the bed next to him was empty.

“Si Sheng?”

Then he saw the neatly dressed blond-haired teenager coming out from behind the screen.

The sunlight had just poured in from the window, making his hair golden and especially beautiful. The thing that made Xu Sili unable to remove his gaze was the slightly curved, shallow smile on the teenager’s face.

It was a very shallow smile but it was like a rose blooming in the snowy night. It firmly attracted his eyes.

In a trance, Xu Sili thought he had seen the adult Si Sheng.

Then he soon noticed the difference.

Under his direct gaze, the cold white skin of the teenager was obviously dyed with a layer of red and there was a bit of shyness in the smile.

The grown-up Si Sheng couldn’t be so innocent. His face wasn’t red and his heart didn’t beat faster when he talked words of love.

“Your Highness, you’re awake.” The teenager came to him and hesitantly reached out to hug him. Then he found that the little boy had already reached out and approached him affectionately.

“I told you not to use honorifics when there are no outsiders.”

The teenager blinked before the corners of his mouth curved up again. “Okay.”

“Do you want to wash up?”

He added, “I just went to get the hot water and the temperature should be just right.”

Xu Sili looked at the toiletries placed next to the bed and casually asked, “What about Janice?”

“She is preparing breakfast for Your Highness.”

Xu Sili nodded and didn’t say anything. He obediently brushed his teeth and washed his face under the teenager’s service.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Si Sheng got up and went to open the door. He only opened it a gap and blocked the person knocking on the door.

“Leave it with me.”

He looked at Janice and stretched out his hands to take the tray.

Janice frowned. “Let me go in and leave it.”

The teenager didn’t intend to give in. “I can do it. I’ll take care of His Highness.”

“What do you mean…”

The teenager looked up at her and Janice stopped suddenly.

She saw the coldness and bit of impatience in the teenager’s gray-blue eyes and felt a chill go down her spine.

During the time when she was stunned, the teenager had already taken the tray from her hand, entered the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Xu Sili didn’t pay attention to the brief confrontation at the door. He thought it was a bit strange but Si Sheng had served him a lot before and he was used to it.

He drank the milk slowly while thinking about continuing to be a salted fish in the room today.

However, things didn’t always turn out as expected.

“Little Snow, your sister came to see you again!”

Just after breakfast, a girl’s cheerful voice came from outside the door. Then the door was kicked open and a girl with a high ponytail and a combat uniform appeared at the door.

Xu Sili looked at her and greeted her lazily, “Second Imperial Sister.”

The girl was suddenly dissatisfied.

“Little Snow, aren’t you happy to see your sister?”

She entered the room. Then she saw the new appearance of the teenager and patted him on the shoulder with a grin. “Nice, it fits well!”

The teenager looked at her, expression indifferent. He didn’t show any special emotions due to her princess status and it was completely different from his previous shyness.

Xu Sili saw it and couldn’t help saying, “That day, Imperial Sister went to bring the water healing master over to heal your injuries and your clothes were also customized by her.”

Si Sheng understood the prince’s meaning.

He looked at Princess Silin again and said softly, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

His attitude still wasn’t humble but it was much better than the indifference just now.

Fortunately, Silin had a cheerful personality and she had no knowledge of Si Sheng. She just shook her head and said, “It is nothing. There wasn’t much effort.”

Then she looked at Xu Sili again.

“Little Snow, hurry and change your clothes. I will take you out to play.”

Xu Sili was still lying on the bed. In any case, he was only a five year old child right now and Silin was his sister. He didn’t need to feel embarrassed.

“I don’t want to go out.”

He shook his head and refused. “It is cold outside. It is good for me to stay in this room with Si Sheng.”

“That won’t work.”

Silin walked over to lift his quilt. The moment she grabbed the edge of the quilt, a thin hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

She felt a bit of pain and raised her head to meet the eyes of a wolf cub.

“Your Highness, what are you going to do?” The teenager looked at her with a particularly sharp expression.

Silin withdrew her hand and looked at the teenager.

“You are very strong. No wonder why you can strangle that slave owner.” She looked at him appreciatively. “Are you interested in joining my team?”

“Once I become an adult, I will bring my team to the front lines. A good seedling like you should go to the battlefield and fight with us to kill those d*mn interstellar beasts as soon as possible!”

The teenager didn’t answer. Meanwhile, Xu Sili heard Silin’s words and felt a bit sad in his heart.

This lively and bright girl would die in the beast wave on the battlefield in 10 years. She would become a heroine that everyone loved and admired.

However, to die was to die.

He originally didn’t care because they didn’t know each other nor had even met. This meant there were no feelings.

Now…

Xu Sili sighed and this brought back Silin’s attention.

The girl reached out and rubbed his head, hating his stubbornness. “You are too lazy. I heard from Janice that you haven’t been out of the room for two days. If you stay any longer then you will become moldy!”

Xu Sili shrugged.

Moldy was moldy. It was better than encountering danger.

There were less than three days left and he didn’t want to fall short.

Silin watched him slip into bed again and wanted to lift the quilt. Then she saw the teenager glaring at her and couldn’t help feeling a bit jealous.

This was like a wild wolf, the type that had eaten people.

She was obviously one of the ones who rescued him but the difference in treatment was too big!

“Okay, get up.” Silin finally softened her tone. “Little Snow, it is our Imperial Father who wants to see you.”

Xu Sili paid attention when he heard her mention the old emperor.

Apart from the vague impression of his father in Snow Roland’s memory, Xu Sili’s deepest impression of the deceased emperor was the restricted holographic games in the game cabin.

In addition, he spent all his cosmic coins before dying and didn’t leave a single one.

“Do I have to go if he wants to see me?” Xu Sili asked in an expressionless manner.

“Don’t be angry. No matter what he says, he is your Imperial Father.” Silin touched the top of his head. Then she reluctantly withdrew her hand when she felt the strong gaze from beside her.

“I’m not angry…”

“I know you feel bad that Imperial Father made you live here but you can’t go on like this forever.”

Silin explained, “These are the rules and they are also protecting you.”

The members of the imperial family who had an elemental talent detected were qualified to inherit the throne and resources would be tilted to them. If there was no talent, their treatment could only be carried out according to the minimum.

“I know, Second Imperial Sister.”

Xu Sili seriously told her, “It is just that I’m in a bad mood and don’t want to see him for the time being.”

Silin couldn’t help sighing. “It might not be up to you.”

“Today, Marshal Joyce returned triumphantly and Father ordered the three of us to personally greet him.”

Joyce? Marshal?

Xu Sili touched his chin. He knew an Admiral Joyce. Could it be the same name?

This Marshal Joyce must be very powerful to let three members of the imperial family greet him in person.

Xu Sili knew that this was the content of the trial and there was no way to avoid it, so he finally gave up the struggle.

He crawled out of his quilt and watched Si Sheng come over with clothes to help him put them on. Xu Sili couldn’t help tucking Si Sheng’s hair behind his ear and saying, “You can just stay here.”

He didn’t want to be separated from Si Sheng but it was clear there might be danger now. He wouldn’t feel at ease if Si Sheng followed.

The boy’s hand that was helping him with the buttons suddenly stopped.

He raised his eyes and the ice and snow that filled them when facing Princess Silin had melted. He looked at Xu Sili pitifully and said, “Your Highness, you said I could always stay by your side…”

Xu Sili felt even more helpless seeing his aggrieved expression.

“Okay, just follow if you want.”

In the end, he could only coax Si Sheng.

The teenager slowly revealed a small smile. The teenager’s gray-blue eyes were shining brightly and looked more brilliant and charming than the sun.

Silin saw this scene and even as dull as she was, she felt that something was wrong.

Was her precious brother about to be abducted?
