Chapter 79 - Have To Take It Slowly
Huo Yunshen’s experience points were nearly double that of the second-ranked “Yiye Zhiqiu”. Even if “Yiye Zhiqiu” didn’t eat or drink or sleep from this moment on, and played the game for days straight, it was still impossible to surpass Huo Yunshen in rank.
The two had a great time slaughtering mobs in-game. The husband and wife team ventured free and unstoppable in the virtual world.
Huo Yunshen’s heart was overflowing with strong feelings. He hoped to stand on his two feet again as soon as possible in real life. He wanted to stand by Xu Xiyan’s side and protect her from harm in the real world.
They had only played a single round of the game but Huo Yunshen decided to stop and let her rest early.
“It’s already getting late. You should rest early. We can play again tomorrow.”
“Okay! I’m getting tired, too.” Xu Xiyan stood up to put the computers and the gamepads away. When she turned around, Huo Yunshen handed her something. “What’s this?”
“The keys to my house. So you can come over and open the door yourself. Please take them.”
Huo Yunshen handed her the keys. If she wanted to come over next time, she wouldn’t have to wait for him to open the door anymore.
“Oh.” Xu Xiyan took the keys without complaint. It would be convenient to have the keys to his house.
In the future, she would not need to ring the doorbell, and Huo Yunshen would not have to rush to open the door and accidentally knock over a water jug again.
Xu Xiyan was ready to go back. Huo Yunshen moved his wheelchair and sent her to the door. When she was about to open it, the doorbell rang.
The two exchanged looks. It was already late. Who could it be?
Xu Xiyan didn’t open the door, but cautiously peered through the peephole. There was a beautiful and fashionable-looking woman standing outside the door.
“Who’s outside?” Huo Yunshen asked.
Xu Xiyan whispered, half-jokingly, “It looks like your girlfriend or something. What should I do?”
Judging from the time of the night and the woman’s appearance, Xu Xiyan thought the woman must be his girlfriend. Who else could it be?
Huo Yunshen was confused. “What does she look like?”
“She has long wavy hair, big hoop earrings, and is wearing a tight-fitting silver dress with a black rivet jacket. She also has a pair of high-heeled boots. She looks so cool and pretty.”
After listening to her description, Huo Yunshen looked as if his arch nemesis had arrived. “Oh no! My third sister is here!”
“Oh? Should we open the door?”
Xu Xiyan had heard Huo Yunshen speak about his sisters before, but the woman outside was very different from what she had imagined.
“No, don’t!”
Huo Yunshen got in her way. He could not let Huo Sanyan discover Xu Xiyan for the time being, because he was afraid that she would not stop yapping about it to the world with her big mouth, and that everyone would then know about his secret.
If that happened, his parents and his three helicopter sisters would try to force him to marry. What if Xu Xiyan couldn’t bear the pressure and left him?
It would be an unthinkable disaster. He had only just found Xu Xiyan and his body had not yet recovered. He had no confidence that he could make her fall in love with him yet.
So he had to take things very slowly, and he couldn’t let his family ruin it.
“She is your third sister…aren’t you going to let her in?” Xu Xiyan asked, puzzled.
“If she comes in and sees you, I won’t be able to explain it to her.”
Huo Yunshen’s face was filled with anxiety. He looked up at her and said, “I’m sorry, but I need you to hide. I’ll deal with her.”
“Okay, I’ll go find a place to hide.”
Xu Xiyan didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Huo Yunshen, so she left quickly, scrambling to find a hiding place.
