826 Seizure

"Y-you! Don't say it like that! So embarrassing!" Long Jinjing attempted to cover her face but Lu Zihao stopped her. Helpless at his vulgar words, she could only gather her courage and stammer, "I need to know that you're…c-clean first before I can let you have sex with me without a condom. I'm, uh, adding that to my terms!"

"Clean?" He scowled and a hint of vicious aura leaked from him again.

She shuddered a little but compared to what happened earlier when she asked him about his scars, this was nothing. She was also too nervous and embarrassed to feel scared of his aura at the moment.

"My sister…I don't know if I should be revealing this to you. It's a private matter, you see. So…uhm…."

"Just say it," he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Little Sister Xiulan said that she made Brother-in-law Liwei get tested for STDs first before they could, uh, you know, have real full sex. And he did. He gave her the all-negative test results. She said that it's important and that we should all demand such test from our sexual partners, and of course, if we ourselves had previous sexual partners and are about to enter a new relationship, then we should also be ready to get the test ourselves. It's only fair. And I happen to agree with her."

Deep inside, Lu Zihao felt relieved that his sister did that with Jin Liwei. He was actually the one who always reminded her in their past lives about the importance of demanding an STD test from her prospective husband. 

There were many men eyeing his sister back then. Who wouldn't want her? Evelina Vetrova was extremely beautiful to the point of almost being otherworldly. She was even more beautiful back then than she was now as Long Xiulan. However, not many had the guts to actually pursue her because of their family's formidable identity. Just the mere mention of their surname was enough to send the majority of those fuckers running with their tails tucked between their legs like the cowards that they were.

The handful ones who were brave enough to woo her still couldn't last until the end because of her great, evil guardian called Nikolai Vetrov. And even if he did approve of someone back then—which he didn't—that man would still fail in his pursuit because her sister was so disinterested in romance and marriage. All she cared about were her computers, music, and dreaming about raising a kitten.

This was why he had been so shocked and displeased to find out that she became someone else's live-in girlfriend so soon after their rebirth. If only he had found her sooner, perhaps Jin Liwei wouldn't have been able to trick her so easily into becoming lovers. And now look at her, pregnant before marriage! 

Jin Liwei, that damn scoundrel!

Right at that moment, the remnant stirred violently inside him, protesting against his harsh criticism of its beloved third brother. His entire body tensed and instantly became drenched in sweat as he immediately worked on subduing the damn remnant.

"Nikolai? What's wrong?" Long Jinjing's worried voice managed to pierce through the turbulent war occurring inside him. "Why are you like this?"

He hugged her so tightly as if holding on to a lifeline. She gasped at the strength of his embrace. It felt like he was trying to crush her. She was about to tell him to let go but when she saw his pained expression, her concern for him overcame her discomfort from his crushing embrace.

"Mr. Lu? Zihao, talk to me, please! Tell me what's wrong. You're...scaring me."

His expression morphed into something ferocious. He snarled, "I'm Nikolai!"

"Y-yes, of course, you're Nikolai," she said in a hurry to not agitate him.

She ran her hands all over his naked back and felt how soaked it was with cold sweat. Her heart raced in anxiety for him. She tried many times to ask him what was going on but he wouldn't give a proper response which only worsened her worry.

He released a series of unintelligible words that she couldn't understand. He sounded like he was cursing but it was in another language. It sounded European but she couldn't quite figure out which language it was exactly.

"Let me go, Nikolai," she said. "I'll call an ambulance for you."

That managed to catch his attention. He glared at her with unfocused eyes and growled, "No ambulance…"

"You don't look okay to me. I'm so worried about you."

He closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder while hugging her closer to him. "…be fine…just stay here…"

Long Jinjing wanted to cry and freak out but she couldn't do that right now. She needed to be level-headed and to think of something to help him. What could she do to make him feel better from whatever was happening to him right now?

His body spasmed even more, making him release another deep, pained groan. Since he was holding her so close, she could feel every tremor wracking his body.

What in the world was happening to him? Was he having some sort of seizure?

She hugged him and used her hands to massage his back. "Please be okay please be okay…oh please…"

Time passed. She didn't know how long it took before his seizure or whatever it was finally stopped. Her body now felt numb from being hugged so tightly.

"N-nikolai?"

He was panting from what he went through but his eyes were now clearer. He kissed her clumsily. "I need to fuck you. Now."

She opened her legs wide and accepted him (with all her heart).
