Chapter 2.0 I'm A Wife Candidate

Li Yun groaned. His heart was really heavy and stuffy. He left Ling Xiao behind... all alone to fend himself.

He knew that was only a dream.

A wonderful dream where someone accepted him and even loved him. He was even married to the tall, handsome and rich guy even if it was just a short time. He also had a system that ordered him, here and there. It only happened in novels, dramas and comics. It will never be real, right?

Why was he sure this time that all that he experienced was only a dream?

He just only woke up with a stiff neck. He was asleep at his table with a laptop still on. He even woke up next morning in the usual room of his.

' I married him. I even loved him. Was he really just a dream? '

Li Yun lazily turned off his laptop and prepared himself to go out. He was lying if he said that he didn't care about Ling Xiao. Even if it was a dream, why did it feel really real? The sensation when he was kissed, the warmth he experienced, the night he gave himself and the day he lost his breath.

' I really thought that was real. Maybe my dream wanted to tell me to find a good guy already! Fudge! I'm just turning eighteen next month! I'm still young, yo~~. '

Li Yun went to his wardrobe and a bucket of cold water was hurriedly thrown at him this instant.

" Young Master, your clothes are now neatly prepared. Did you need this butler's assistance? "

Li Yun: OAO

Li Yun blinked his eyes. The man wearing a butler uniform might disappear in front of him if he did this.

' Am I seeing Sebastian? '

" Young Master, do your eyes need to be check? I'll call the family optometrist if you like. "

--- [ The real mending the ship now commences!!!~~]

A mechanical and flirty voice announced at his still shocked mind.

Li Yun staggered. He forced himself not to faint from the cruel truth. He was a sissy if he did that. He calmed himself and gestured the butler to leave his room.

[ Fudge!!! System, y-you are r-real?! ]

--- [ Of course!!! ]

Li Yun slumped at the floor. His feet can no longer support him. He cried and cried until he grew tired and his eyes were already red when he stopped.

' Ling Xiao!!! *wu wu wu* '

---[ Host, do you want to claim your reward? ]

[ Reward? Is my reward have the ability to return to my real world? or see Ling Xiao? Did it also include the introduction of the person behind all of these bizzare events? ]

---[ Awww~~~. You deeply cared for your husband, I see...]

Li Yun blushed. That was his first love (if he was real), you know?

[ En...I can do that!~~Look at your ring. You will see what happened to your hubby~.]

The silver ring he wore at his finger was lit up. A faint projection can be seen on it.

A month of mourning for Li Yun's death passed, Ling Xiao went to the palace and was received by the crowned prince and princess at the study.

" You dared to poison me, Ling Zhen! You even pushed Yun-Er to his death! "

Ling Xiao held the hilt of his sword and he set it free from its scabbard. He pointed the sharp tip to Ling Zhen but Li Yan stepped in front to shield Ling Zhen's body.

" Don't kill him! General Li, I'm the one who poisoned you! His Highness had nothing to do with this! "

" Yan-Er stepped back! I can handle this."

" B-but... "

Li Yan went behind Ling Zhen. He was bitting his lips until it turned red. He will not let anything happen to the father of his child.

Yes, he was pregnant. He wanted to tell this to Ling Zhen but this incident happened.

" Are you commiting treason, General Li?"

Ling Xiao sneered. He pressed the tip further. The blood dripping from wound contrasted to Ling Zhen's fair skin.

" What if I am? What is treason? If I kill you, can it bring Yun-Er to life? But I'll still do it! "

Ling Zhao plunged the sword to Ling Zhen's neck. The body fell to the ground, producing a puddle of blood that painted the white floor red.

Li Yan's eyes widen. He can't believed that Ling Xiao seek vengeance to his own brother.

" My love for Li Yun is much precious than loyalty, I'm prepared to die for it,Your Highness! "

Ling Xiao kneeled at Li Yan's feet with a grave expression.

He then held the sword at his heart and killed himself with his own hands.

Li Yan paled as he watched it happen with his very own eyes. He clutched his painful belly and a streak of blood flood to his legs.

" No!!! My child!!! Help!!! I need a doctor!!!"

¤¤¤¤¤¤

Li Yun paused the projection. He was once again wet from his own tears. He was really a crybaby. He didn't expect that Ling Xiao will repeat (loudly) the real Li Yun's thought to himself before dying.

-----My love is much precious than loyalty,I'm prepared to die for it,Your Highness.

The real Li Yun was a soldier. He loved Ling Xiao and he also loved his country.

At first, the real Li Yun wanted to let Ling Xiao poisoned himself because he was not under his command anymore. If he can't survive in mere poisoning, then Ling Xiao proved that he was too easy to kill.

The whole plan was all about killing Ling Xiao. He was told by his dear older brother not to be caught in muddy waters once he knew it from him. Li Yan also said that it was a royal dispute. He was now a civilian that was simply attending a feast.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that his own brother will kill the one he loved. He was the future royal-brother-in-law once Li Yan ascended the throne with Ling Xiao. Will he let Li Yan proceed to kill Ling Xiao because of his loyalty to him and the country or let Li Yan be known as the culprit behind it.

Both lives were at stake and the only choice was him, sacrificing his cheap life for his brother and his secret beloved, Ling Xiao.

He decided to take the poison himself.

Li Yun wiped his tears. He decided to watch the video until the end.. even if his heart was now bleeding and under a severe suffocating pain.
