VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 1585: Meeting The Parents

I rushed into the room and hugged Lin Yixin tightly.

She trembled slightly in my arms as tears slid down her cheeks. "Why did you come in, Little Cheat? I… I didn’t want you to see me like this, I…"

I cupped her cheeks to stop her from talking. "Enough, Yiyi. I would’ve died on my own if I knew you were going to do this to yourself. Just why?"

She smiled a little. "No one forced me to do this. As of now, I’m the only one who has the constitution and genetic structure to withstand your virus. In fact, my blood was able to suppress your virus until recently. If anyone else tried to subsume your virus they would most likely just die…"

I hurriedly wiped away the fresh blood, pulled out bundles of tissues from a tissue box and wiped away the fresh blood covering her face. My white shirt was stained with blood as a result. She smiled at me and said, "You got your shirt dirty…"

"It’s no problem…"

I held her hand tightly as another bloodied tear slid down her cheek. Feeling like my heart was caught in a vice grip, I asked quietly, "Does it hurt?"

Lin Yixin bit her lips and shook her head.

Behind us, Nangong Lexi and Sun Qingqing were standing at the entrance. Sun Qingqing said quietly, "Of course it hurts, you stupid. I could hear her weeping all the way from my room last night. She’s such a tough girl, and yet she still couldn’t keep her voice down in spite of it. Of course it hurts…"

I bowed my head and held Lin Yixin’s hand tightly. "I’m sorry, I’m sorry…"

Lin Yixin smiled at me. "Don’t say that. I did it because I love you…"

I could only nod in silence.

……

A while later, Lin Yixin tried wiping the bloodstains on her legs but gave up soon after. I supported her as she rose to her feet. “I need to take a bath. Wait for me. You and I are going out for dinner later!"

I said, "No problem. What about these blood samples?"

Nangong Lexi said, "After Yiyi’s body reacts to the virus, she is required to draw her blood once per hour, seven times a day. She’s been doing this for three days, so that’s twenty-one blood samples in total. She’s already fulfilled today’s quota, so someone will pick them up later, analyze it and send the data to the relevant institutes in China, the USA and so on. You might think this looks bad, but it’s nothing compared to yesterday. Yesterday, Yiyi looked like she was bleeding from every pore on her body. Do you have any idea how scared Qingqing and I were[1]? I truly have no idea what Yiyi sees in you, Lu Chen. She would’ve happily traded her life away for yours if it was possible."

I muttered, "I know, I know…"

"Like hell you do! Hmph…"

"..."

……

I blankly looked outside the window while the pitter-patter of the shower came from the bathroom. A while later, I took out my phone and called Xu Ning. The call connected after a few beeps—

"Hey, Lu Chen. Do you need me for something?" Xu Ning greeted me.

I asked quietly, "Uncle Ning, you knew that Lin Yixin experimented with her body to create a cure for me, didn’t you?"

Xu Ning paused for a second before replying, "Yes, I did… So you found out.”

"Mn." I nodded before continuing, "Yiyi’s condition is pretty unstable right now. She’s losing a lot of blood. This cannot be safe, can it? Will this endanger Yiyi’s life?"

Xu Ning replied, "I have discussed this with the PIC of the China Research Group, Dr. Mark,at length, and he confirmed that Lin Yixin’s body is not just capable of withstanding the virus, but also curing it to a certain extent. She’s bleeding profusely because it is her body’s way of ‘detoxifying’ itself, if you would interpret it that way. Mark estimates that it’ll take her 7 days at most to fully expel the contaminated blood, and we asked her to take blood samples so we may record the entire process[2]. If everything goes smoothly, then your chances of recovery will be much higher than before."

"How much are we talking about?" I asked.

"Originally, your chances of surviving were only 5% or less. But with Lin Yixin’s blood sample records and Flowing Cloud’s secret data, that chance has skyrocketed to 30% at least."

I nodded. "Got it. Thank you, Uncle Xu Ning. But… is Lin Yixin really going to be fine like this? I’m worried that this will threaten her life…"

Xu Ning paused for another second before replying, "You don’t have to worry too much, Lu Chen. An ordinary person would’ve died within 24 hours[3] of being injected with your blood, but Lin Yixin managed to hang on for 72 hours straight. Even better, yesterday’s blood samples showed that the concentration of the toxin produced by the virus is 27.4% lower than what it was on the first day. This is proof that her body can not only suppress, but eliminate the virus. The process is extremely painful though, so I would advise you to watch over her for the next few days at least. Seriously, you are really lucky to encounter a girl as good as her…"

I nodded. "I know, Uncle Ning. I won’t leave Lin Yixin until she’s fully cured. One more thing. My 30-day deadline has been reduced to just 25, hasn’t it?"

This time, Xu Ning was silent for a couple of seconds straight before he said, "Don’t overthink this, boy. Everything is going smoothly, so whatever you do, stay strong until the day we can finally cure you. You should’ve noticed that the big miss is a million times more dependent on you than she is on me. I need you to continue watching over and taking care for her until she finally becomes an independent woman. It was originally my duty to do so, but well, I’m no longer qualified. You are the only one who can do this now."

"Don’t worry, Uncle Ning. I will. Thank you for answering all of my questions. I won’t keep you any longer. Bye!"

"Mn!"

……

I sent He Yi a message after I ended the call: "Eve, Yiyi drank my blood and made herself a test subject to help with the cure. I’m going to stay at Snowy Cathaya’s workshop for a couple of days until she recovers. Bring Xinran over if she wants to see me."

He Yi didn’t reply probably because she was in the game. It didn’t matter. She would see it when she logged out later.

Lin Yixin stayed in the bathroom for an entire hour. When I couldn’t hold it any longer, I knocked on the door and asked, "Yiyi? Are you done?"

"Not yet. Just give me a moment… I’ll be out very soon…"

I returned to the bed and waited after confirming that she was okay.

A while later, Lin Yixin finally came out wearing refreshing casual wear. Truly beautiful women looked beautiful no matter what they wore, and Lin Yixin fell under this category. Of course, most of her clothes were luxury-brand clothes, so she looked even classier and more charming than normal.

"How do I look?" She spread her arms and twirled once on her feet.

I simply rose to my feet, pulled her against my chest, and pecked her once on her soft lips. "I love you…"

"Pooh! You said it too quickly. I bet it has no sincerity behind it!" She smirked.

I sucked in a deep breath and repeated the phrase, "I. Love. You…"

"Who do you love?" It looked like someone wanted to give me a hard time today.

My face felt like it was reaching boiling point as I said, "I love Lin Yixin…"

"Who loves Lin Yixin?"

"Lu Chen loves Lin Yixin!" I blurted as I threw my dignity out the window.

Finally, Lin Yixin was satisfied with my answer. She giggled. "That’s acceptable, I suppose. Oh right, tonight’s dinner… Ahem, won’t just be the two of us."

"Oh? Who else will be present?"

"My father, mother, uncles and aunties will be there. It should be around seven or eight people. It’s a family gathering."

"Huh…" I hummed. "So, this is an official parents meeting?"

"Why, you scared?"

"Of course not."

She giggled again. "Good boy. It’s a win-win for everyone anyway. You don’t want my aunties to introduce me to a so-called ‘Top 10 outstanding youngsters’, do you? Hmph. Have you ever seen an ‘outstanding youth’ who’s 51 years old and completely bald?"

I shuddered. "No, but I have seen a section chief who embezzled tens of billions of RMB and claimed to be clean…"

"Shameless. You’d better not follow that person’s example, Mr. CEO of Eternal Moon…"

"Why would I need to embezzle the money when I have the authority to mobilize these assets under official capacity? Not to mention that I’ve earned enough money from Heavenblessed to live wastefully for a couple lifetimes…"

"Country bumpkin. You think several tens of billions are enough to spend for a couple lifetimes? When you’ve recovered, you’re going to buy me a beachfront villa and become my sugardaddy…"

"Shameless girl. I dare you to say that when we eat dinner later…"

Lin Yixin grabbed my hand and shook it left and right. "Speaking of which, we still have some time until then. You wanna go for one round, daddy?"

I nearly threw up blood. "Stop, stop! You keep this up, and I’m going to die from a heart attack before the virus kills me. It’ll literally burst like the water pipes on the streets…"

"Er, really? Okay, okay. In that case, help me clean up the place instead. We’ll drive your X12 when we head out later. You gotta show the elders that you can afford me… Speaking of which, when are you buying me a 20 million RMB limited edition Cadillac?"

"Er, ask me again when I’m a rich man."

"..."

……

We drove into a certain restaurant’s parking lot past 6 pm or so. Then, we walked through the entrance with our arms linked. The parents had booked a room on the second floor, and I counted seven or eight people the moment we walked inside. Lin Xiao and Lin Yixin’s mother, Liu Wanru was inside as a matter of course. There were also a couple of middle-aged men and women that were probably Lin Yixin’s aunties. There was one person I didn’t expect to see at all, however. Owen was present as well!

"Hmm?"

Lin Yixin asked in puzzlement, "Why are you here, Owen? I thought this is a… Dad, what’s going on?"

Lin Xiao let out a cough and said with a smile, "You’ve come with Lu Chen, Yiyi? Ah, I ran into Owen at the entrance just now, so I thought I might as well invite him to dinner. Everyone here’s a friend or family anyway, so why not?"

Lin Yixin frowned but said, "Fine…"

I took it as my cue to nod at Lin Xiao and Liu Wanru. "Uncle, auntie…"

"Hello, Lu Chen!" Liu Wanru nodded back with a smile, but Lin Xiao said nothing at all. Guess the man was still hung up on me.

……

Lin Yixin pulled my arm and said, "Let’s sit beside my dad and mum…"

"Sure!"

By coincidence or not, Owen was sitting on the opposite side of me. He shot me a neutral look before smiling a little. "Long time no see, Lu Chen. It’s been… three months since you smashed the back of my car, hasn’t it?"

Lin Xiao immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? And why would Lu Chen smash your car?"

Owen shrugged. "It’s nothing. I guess he wasn’t feeling very well that day."

I shrugged as well. "Yes, I wasn’t. Yiyi is my girlfriend, and I love her deeply. Naturally, I cannot stand someone orbiting around her like a goddamned fly. And what do we do with flies, Owen? We squish them beneath our boots!"
