CH 42

Chapter 42.1 Mo Yixu’s sister-in-law!

Bang!

Halfway through his sentence, Mo Yixu paused on the other side of the screen, his mouth half open, frozen in place as he watched a teenager pounce on his second brother!

Before Mo Yi Cheng was thrown to the ground, he didn’t know that Yuan Suo was already free to enter and exit the game. The person who jumped into his arms suddenly was warm and soft. He was shocked at first, then surprised, and finally pulled him out of his arms nervously, asking repeatedly if he had fallen.

Yuan Suo’s nose hurt because he hit Mo Yi Cheng’s chest. Upset, he shook his head guiltily, “I… I’m fine. I’m… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come out on purpose…” Mo Yi Cheng said before that he couldn’t be exposed, was he in trouble again?

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid.” Looking at the tip of Yuan Suo’s nose that had turned red and the palm of his hand that had reddened slightly from being rubbed on the ground, Mo Yi Cheng frowned in distress, “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Yang Suo tried to keep his voice as small as possible, afraid of being heard by the person over there again.

Mo Yixu swallowed hard on the other side. He had never seen his second brother whisper so softly and warmly to anyone before, “Second brother, is this… is this my sister-in-law?”

Mo Yi Cheng helped Yuan Suo up and after making sure that he didn’t hurt anywhere else, said in a deep voice to Mo Yixu on the other side of the phone, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Ah, I know, I’ll keep it a secret!” Mo Yixu showed with his expression that he wouldn’t breathe a word of it to anyone. His older brother liked boys and now his second brother did too. If Mother Mo knew about this, there was no need to mention it, the person she would start urging to get married would be him.

Mo Yi Cheng saw that he had misunderstood, but he also didn’t want to explain anymore, so he raised his hand to turn off the video call.

“Ey, ey, ey, second brother, if you hang up now, I might just call mom because I’m too lonely. If she finds out…”

Mo Yi Cheng’s hand paused in the air.

“Ha ha, second brother, I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that the moment when sister-in-law pounced on you was too fast that all I saw was only afterimages. I didn’t even get to see his face.” Mo Yi Cheng was different from his older brother. In his opinion, second brother had never had any girl… uh… or boy by his side in these years, so it was understandable that Mo Yixu’s curiosity was piqued when someone suddenly rushed into his arms.

“What do you want?” Mo Yi Cheng asked with a cold face.

Mo Yixu wasn’t afraid as he put his chin in his hands, “Heh, heh, how dare I want something? I just want to get to know him a little bit and see his face!”

Mo Yi Cheng considered it for a moment. His little brother had been pampered since childhood and was a little used to getting his way, his character a little hard to grasp. He wouldn’t really go and file a complaint to their mother, but it was definitely possible that he would cause a little trouble.

Mo Yi Cheng asked for permission from Yuan Suo with his eyes. Yuan Suo froze for a moment, then understanding what Mo Yi Cheng meant, hesitated before nodding.

“Just a look and don’t talk nonsense!” Mo Yi Cheng warned.

Mo Yixu nodded immediately. It seems he hadn’t made today’s birthday video call in vain.

Mo Yi Cheng shifted the lens slightly, allowing Yuan Suo to enter the lens and then said as he pointed to Mo Yixu: “This is my third brother, Mo Yixu.”

Yuan Suo waved his hand nervously but kindly, “Hello, my name is Du Du.”

Mo Yi Cheng: “…”

Mo Yixu who was in front of the screen was stunned. Second brother’s eyes… were really good! At a glance he could tell that this teenager with clear eyes and a bright smile was as pure as a piece of white paper. Although he was a little nervous he wasn’t cowardly.

Second brother’s temperament was high and cold and often gave people a feeling of alienation, but when he stood next to this teenager, his whole person softened, a look he had never seen on him before.

“Du Du, hello!” Mo Yixu greeted.

“Okay, you’ve seen him.” Mo Yi Cheng said coldly then turned the phone. Yuan Suo disappeared from the screen.

Mo Yixu whose view was blocked could only complain silently in his heart about his second brother’s pettiness. It wasn’t as if he would lose a piece of flesh if he took another glance.

“Alright, second brother, that will be all for today, but you have to tell me more about him when you have time…ha~” He stretched out the last syllable, his handsome face filled with a gossipy smile.

Mo Yi Cheng really couldn’t stand it anymore, so he raised his hand and turned off the video. After thinking about it, he sent a huge red envelope to Mo Yixu with a message: ‘Don’t talk nonsense, he’s just a good friend.’

Mo Yixu sent a wildly raised eyebrows with a hidden smile emoji several times the moment he received the red envelope: ‘I understand, I’ll be tight-lipped about it!’

It seems… the explanation was still not clear.

Mo Yi Cheng shook his head helplessly, then looked at Yuan Suo again.

Chapter 42.2 Mo Yixu’s sister-in-law!

Yuan Suo was somewhat restrained as he stood to the side. Although the two had already met once in reality before, the time had been short so Yuan Suo was still inexplicably nervous as he faced a lively Mo Yi Cheng again.

“Du Du when did you upgrade?” Mo Yi Cheng had been waiting anxiously for the little thing to come out at level 20.

Yuan Suo said quickly: “Just today, the school announced the previous art results and because I was the first I was awarded a point. I originally wanted to give Mo Yi Cheng a surprise, but…I don’t know what happened just now, maybe it’s because I don’t know how to control my entry and exit from the game well. Did …. did I cause trouble again?” When Yuan Suo said this his whole momentum weakened, like a small snail ready to shrink back into its shell at any time.

Mo Yi Cheng sighed. It seemed that no matter how many times he promised, the little thing was scared by the last time’s glitch and was afraid of ‘causing trouble’. Thinking of the system’s malfunctioning, Mo Yi Cheng’s heart twitched. He raised his arm and his big hand landed on Yuan Suo’s head, his hair thin and soft… just as he imagined when he rubbed it.

“You didn’t cause trouble, Mo Yixu is my brother, it’s okay.”

“Then… that’s good.” After confirming that he didn’t cause trouble, Yuan Suo smiled again.

Mo Yi Cheng said, “Now, let’s take out the cake.”

Yuan Suo nodded, “Mm-hmm!”

Mo Yi Cheng picked up the phone, ready to operate the game to take out the cake. As a result, Yuan Suo suddenly pulled his sleeves, “I’ll go in and get it or else it’ll cost gold coins.”

Mo Yi Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. It turns out that the little guy was thinking of saving money.

“Alright.” Mo Yi Cheng agreed to his proposal.

Then holding his breath, Yuan Suo followed the system’s instructions to enter and exit the phone autonomously for the first time. He fell steadily inside the apartment in the game. Marshmallow barked repeatedly when he saw his owner appear then disappear for a while very amused. Yuan Suo had to prepare snacks and toys for it before he picked up the cake and returned to Mo Yi Cheng’s side.

Facing each other, the two of them put the candles in, made a wish and then blew out the candles together. As they were making a wish, Mo Yi Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Suo’s delicate little face that had a very serious expression on it under the candlelight. Then he asked Yuan Suo what he had wished for. Yuan Suo hesitated, stammering as he said that the wish wouldn’t come true if he said it out loud, but his little face suddenly turned red.

By the time the two of them finished eating the cake together, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Yuan Suo had been out of the game for almost three hours.

Mo Yi Cheng asked, “How long can you stay outside now?”

Yuan Suo answered: “Five hours.”

In other words, there were still two hours left to use.

“Du Du, let me take you outside to have a look.” Mo Yi Cheng suggested when he thought of Du Du’s restricted area of activity inside the game. He could only go to the park for a walk during vacations and only during the day.

When Yuan Suo heard Mo Yi Cheng’s words, he nodded excitedly, biting on the small fork he had used to eat the cake that was still in his mouth.

Mo Yi Cheng reacted quickly, grabbing Yuan Suo’s wrist and taking the fork out.

“In the future, don’t bite your fork and nod, it will pierce your gums, do you understand?” Mo Yi Cheng let go of his Yuan Suo’s white wrist as he admonished.

Yuan Suo nodded obediently.

Yuan Suo returned to the game and changed his clothes. When he came out, Mo Yi Cheng had already tidied up, so the two left the house together.

This was the first time that Yuan Suo was coming into contact with the real world!

Mo Yi Cheng’s floor wasn’t that high up, but he still needed to take the elevator. Yuan Suo had only ever seen it on TV before.

After entering the elevator, Mo Yi Cheng clicked on the first floor.

Yuan Suo got into the elevator, but the moment the door closed, he flinched. Mo Yi Cheng noticed keenly, so he leaned towards Yuan Suo, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?” He was worried that Yuan Suo was claustrophobic and had other problems he didn’t know, “If you’re uncomfortable we’ll get out right now and take the stairs.” As he said this he moved to stop the elevator.

“It’s, it’s okay.”

Mo Yi Cheng’s movements stopped, but he clearly felt a change in the little thing’s emotions. The moment the door closed, his face turned pale.

“Are you afraid because you haven’t been in an elevator before?”

Yuan Suo hesitated for a moment, “It’s, it’s not that. It’s just that I used to make mistakes when I was small and was punished to reflect in the confinement room. It’s a little bit like this place, but it’s not very similar. There are lights here, so it’s not very scared.” And Mo Yi Cheng is here too!

Mo Yi Cheng didn’t know about Yuan Suo’s life experience. Elves had to reach a certain level before they could tell their players, but every time he heard or sensed the little thing’s past, his heart broke.

“Then from now on, we won’t take the elevator anymore.”

“En. Thank you Mo Yi Cheng.” Yuan Suo moved carefully to Mo Yi Cheng’s side, this way he wouldn’t be afraid again!

Mo Yi Cheng drove Yuan Suo around for a while. As they passed by a nighttime amusement park, the lights inside the shown brilliantly and beautifully. Yuan Suo looked through the car window with a look of anticipation.

“It’s late now, I’ll take you there next time, ok?”

Yuan Suo turned his head back immediately, “Du….. Du Du is not a child anymore.” However he really wanted to play, that big mouse slide was really cute…

Mo Yi Cheng couldn’t help but smile, “Even if you’re not a child, you can still play.”

“Re… really?” Yuan Suo was surprised. In the interstellar world toys were for children under five years old. If one was eighteen years old it meant that they had already reached the age for combat… No, he was nineteen years old now, meaning he could get married in the interstellar world… not right, he was thinking too much! Yuan Suo pulled his thoughts back hurriedly.

Mo Yi Cheng said: “Of course, we will come and play together next time.”

The car stopped by the riverside.

The two walked side by side along the riverside. One was tall and handsome with a cold temperament that came naturally, and the other was slender and sunny, his hands behind his back as he took walked with joy.
