VCRMM: Chapter 93 Part 1

In the corridor, the wind blew lightly, blowing up the man’s light blond hair. It just couldn’t blow away the increasingly thick, black cloud that hung over him.

Si Sheng gritted his teeth.

His hands were clenched into fists and the back of his hands were bursting with blue veins, even his forehead had blue-red blood vessels emerging, making his timeless facial features look a bit twisted and vicious.

The gray-blue pupils reflected the figures hugging each other in the hall. He felt like a hole had been pierced in his heart. He was empty and seemed to be falling into the abyss, sinking endlessly.

Lord God…

How could he…

Si Sheng wanted to rush in and break the man’s arms around Lord God, torturing him to death with the cruelest means before burning his body to ashes and decomposing him into earth elements, letting him completely disappear from the world.

However, his feet were fixed firmly in place.

He knew he couldn’t do it.

Reason tore at his almost crazy emotions, imprisoning the fierce beast in his heart that was about to burst out of its cage.

He was just a lover in the shadows…

Si Sheng lowered his eyes to hide the blood that was raging madly in them.

The two men in the main hall didn’t notice Si Sheng’s peeping.

Their incomparably long and sweet embrace in Si Sheng’s view actually only lasted for 10 seconds.

After all, expressing emotions was generally more subtle between relatives. If it was too much then it would appear numb.

Xu Yuheng took the initiative to let go of his brother and put on his glasses again. His eyes were still red but he didn’t shed tears as he had just done.

There was some type of system message alert but he didn’t bother to look closely at it.

His gaze greedily fell on his little brother.

Fortunately, they hadn’t given up after all these years.

Fortunately, Starry Sky Age was successfully developed.

Fortunately, he entered the game and didn’t give up coming when he encountered obstacles.

“Xiao Li, you’ve grown up.”

He raised his hand and gently touched Xu Sili’s hair, making his smooth hair a bit messy.

Xu Sili’s eyes were also a bit red.

He pursed his lips and pulled out a smile while asking about his other relatives.

“How are my parents, big brother and grandparents… are they okay?”

Xu Sili bit his lip when speaking about the two old people.

He was a bit afraid to hear the answer. It had been ten years in reality. There were many things that could be changed in ten years…

“They are all good.”

Xu Yuheng smiled slightly. “They are getting old so there are always some small problems, but their bodies are still strong. They go to do square dancing every day. Listening to Mom, our grandmother has now become a lead dancer.”

Xu Sili couldn’t help smiling when he heard this.

Speaking of his artistic cells, most of it was inherited from his grandparents. The thought that the two of them were alive made him feel a bit more relaxed.

“Our parents are the same.” Xu Yuheng didn’t mention Father Xu Yuheng’s previous heart attack and hospitalization and instead mentioned something else.

“Big Brother and sister-in-law are divorced.”

Xu Sili blinked with a bit of surprise.

His older brother and sister-in-law might’ve had a business marriage but the two of them were considered a model couple. He hadn’t expected them to divorce in the end.

“What about my nephew and niece?”

He didn’t ask why they divorced. It was his older brother’s private feelings so he didn’t bother to ask.

“Do they remember me…”

Xu Sili paused and looked at Xu Yuheng. He saw that his brother had no reaction and continued, “They were almost one year old when I left, right?”

“Yes.”

Xu Yuheng nodded. “They usually live at our house and go to their mother’s place on the weekend. After the summer vacation, they will be promoted to the sixth grade.”

Xu Sili sighed slightly when listening to these words.

It had been so many years in the blink of an eye… yet in his memory, it had only been two or three months ago..

“What about you? What is your situation?” Xu Yuheng asked.

Xu Sili shook his head. “I don’t know.”

He told his brother about what happened after the plane crash. Maybe ten years had indeed passed for him but there was no concept of time when he transformed into a spirit. Therefore, he didn’t feel the change.

It might be unbelievable but Xu Yuheng completely believed his words. He saw his younger brother’s healthy and strong appearance and smiled. “You might only be able to live in the game but this is already very lucky.”

“You can be the emperor in the game and live well. This time, Second Brother won’t hurt you any longer!”

Xu Sili couldn’t help hugging him again before asking, “Mom, Dad and Big Brother… when can they enter the game? I want to see them.”

Xu Yuheng paused before explaining things.

“Mom and Dad are older and right now, the game cabins are mainly for young people aged 35 and under. It is still being tested to see if it can be tolerated by middle-aged and elderly people.”

“Therefore, you might have to wait until the public beta for our parents to enter the game and see you.”

“I see…”

Xu Sili was a bit disappointed but he could understand why his parents and grandparents couldn’t play the game. After all, safety and health were the most important things.

He thought for a moment. “What about Big Brother?”

His big brother was just 35 years old. Couldn’t he come in?

Xu Yuheng was a bit worried when seeing these eyes full of hope. Eventually, he decided not to tell the truth.

He said, “Big Brother is busy right now…”

Then he explained about Lin Hua and the others forcing their way in as well as some negative news about Starry Sky Age recently.

Xu Sili frowned as he heard this.

He had seen in the future forum that even though the success of Starry Sky Age had pushed the Xu family to the position of world’s richest family, they had encountered some troubles in the early stages.

Once these troubles were solved, the Xu family and Starry Sky Age would usher in an explosive golden period.

“Is there anything I can do?”

Xu Sili looked at Xu Yuheng. “Based on my current status in Starry Sky Age, I should be able to do something.”

He fully believed in the future of Starry Sky Age. Now he wanted to find a way to help his family and let their path be a bit smoother.

Xu Yuheng thought about it. “The thing we have to do now is attract more players into the game. This way, the project can generate revenue as soon as possible and make up for the many years of investment.”

“Tomorrow, the first closed beta will be over and the server will be suspended. This should be three months in game time while it is half a month in reality. Then the second closed beta will open.”

He added, “There will be 5,000 new players entering the game.”

Xu Sili nodded. He had already learned this from the future forum.

“Starry Sky Age has endless charms but right now, it is like a dusty gem. Not many people know its value.”

Xu Yuheng continued, “These players can help us promote the game faster.”

Xu Sili frowned. He pondered on it for a moment before asking, “Second Brother, is our family out of money?”

“……”

“You don’t have the money to advertise so you need to rely on players?”

“Cough cough—”

Xu Yuheng coughed slightly, not ready to answer the question.

However, his reaction had already told Xu Sili the answer.

His heart was a bit heavy.

If it wasn’t for his whim to invest in this project, the Xu family wouldn’t have followed suit. They might not have become the richest family in the future but based on the ability of his older brother and second brother, he didn’t think the Xu family would be worse off.

It was all because of him…

Xu Sili pursed his lips and quickly hid the bitterness in his heart. “I understand. I will find a way to not only let players experience the fun of the game, but also create value for us.”

The exploitations like the pharmaceuticals were fine in the early stages but it must be adjusted in the middle and late stages.

Xu Yuheng also told him about some of his and Baifeng’s ideas, such as eating delicious food and not becoming fat or playing extreme sports without needing to fear death.

Xu Sili noted them down one by one, ready to go back and adjust the policy. By the time the two brothers finished chatting, it was almost dinner time. Mother Xu came to urge Xu Yuheng to go offline to eat.

Xu Sili didn’t show anything on his face when he heard his mother calling his second brother to go eat dinner, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit down.

He also wanted to hear his mother’s nagging…

He saw his second brother’s figure slowly disappear in place. Xu Sili stood there for a while before retracting his gaze.

Then he looked up and saw a familiar figure, who had appeared at the door of the main hall at an unknown time.

The door behind him was closed and it was clear that he had entered the hall through irregular means.

The depression in Xu Sili’s heart dissipated when he looked at this man who hadn’t been seen for almost a week. He canceled the soundproof barrier and rushed toward him.

Si Sheng stood where he was, bangs lowered and eyes hidden. Xu Sili was a bit confused about this but it didn’t hinder his joy.

As for Si Sheng… he quietly watched the silver-haired youth who was walking toward him.

He wanted to see how this person reacted.

What would he do…

At this moment, Si Sheng’s heart seemed to be turned upside down and jealousy was about to tear his sanity to pieces.

Lord God obviously promised him that it was him alone. So why… did Lord God want to hug someone else?

In what way was that weak brave stronger than him?

Then he saw Lord God walking toward him, purple eyes filled with a soft light. The moment he reached, the young man reached out and hugged him, taking the initiative to approach him.

Si Sheng instinctively hugged back.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the young man’s soft hair.

Obviously, it was as if the world was about to collapse. Yet at this moment, hugging the young man like this, he felt peace of mind again.

“Your Majesty…”

He closed his eyes tightly, deeply sniffed the good smell of the young man, felt the temperature that belonged to the young man and showed a bit of obsession in his expression.

He was always helpless in front of Lord God. He had no bottom line or principles.

Even if he saw Lord God hugging someone else, he didn’t dare to question Lord God…

This was his only fear—

He was afraid that if he asked, perhaps Lord God would once again abandon him to throw himself into the arms of a new lover.

Xu Sili looked up.

He felt Si Sheng’s low mood and was a bit confused. However, seeing Si Sheng’s face, he couldn’t help tiptoeing and pecking the sexy lips.

“Welcome back.”

He smiled slightly, his purple eyes reflecting Si Sheng’s handsome face. It was as if there was only room for Si Sheng in his eyes.

Si Sheng didn’t move. He just watched the young man like this and tried to forget the scene he had just seen.

Yes, Lord God still looked only at him…

Just him…

He inwardly deceived himself until the young man approached again and placed a shallow kiss on his lips. Finally, he raised his hand and pressed it to the back of the young man’s head, deepening the kiss.

The two people embraced and kissed.

They had only been separated for less than a week but it felt like they had been separated for almost a century.
