Arc 3(24)

Feng Li took care of Yu Xin after he fell asleep. He cleaned him up and dressed him again.

After doing so, he left the cave and went to find Huo Yun and Zhang Xi.

Feng Li walked toward the place where they had left 'It'. When he arrived, he saw them standing nearby, discussing something.

Huo Yun and Zhang Xi noticed Feng Li's presence and approached him.

Huo Yun grinned mischievously, "You're finally done, huh?"

Feng Li frowned slightly, "Don't say such things out loud."

Huo Yun chuckled lightly, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry."

Zhang Xi looked down at the ground and blushed furiously. He didn't want to know what Feng Li and Yu Xin had done.

Feng Li asked Zhang Xi, "Can you help me by being at Yu Xin's side for a few hours? He is all alone, I need someone to accompany him."

Zhang Xi answered nervously, "Sure, I will go right away. Can you tell me where he is right now?"

Feng Li said gratefully, "He is in the cave where he used to live before. Thank you."

Zhang Xi nodded and left them alone.

Then, Feng Li turned towards Huo Yun.

"So, what did you two do with this bastard?"

Huo Yun smirked, "We tied him up and made sure he couldn't escape. Don't worry, we won't let him get away."

Feng Li nodded approvingly, "Good job."

Then he asked, "I should know you. But my memories are fuzzy. So, I'm guessing that I should thank you for saving me."

Huo Yun smiled sadly, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help."

Feng Li questioned, "Now, can you tell me who sent this bastard? And what is his relationship with me?"

Huo Yun sighed heavily, "That is a long story."

Feng Li said, "I have time. You can tell me."

Huo Yun nodded, "Alright then, let me tell you in short."

Huo Yun started telling Feng Li everything about 'It'.

"You, Yu Xin, Xi Xi, and I are all in the novel worlds. You should already know this. Our real world is different from all the worlds you have experienced before. Just know you are being targeted by your enemies. And Yu Xin followed you and entered these worlds. And you don't know the work I had to do to make sure you get connected to the system."

Feng Li raised an eyebrow questioningly, "I didn't know that. How did you connect me to the system?"

Huo Yun explained patiently, "The system, he is someone I know. Don't worry he'll do you no harm."

Feng Li frowned deeply, "And who is this enemy? Do you know their names?"

Huo Yun nodded, "I know. But now is not the time yet. I will take care of him. You just need to get better. I am your best friend ain't I, leave it to me."

"Also, In the future, don't stop loving Yu Xin because the thing that happened in the past was not his fault. He loves you too much. And...He is pitiful. His past is something..."

Huo Yun stopped, remembering Yu Xin's blank face which was filled with confusion. He continued, "Anyways, It's no good. Also, someone who is dear to you is waiting for you, together with a little guy. He has always been searching for you, even though he is always near you indirectly."

Remembering the little guy, Huo Yun chuckled. He smiled at Feng Li, saying, "Many people are waiting for you. Please come back soon."

Feng Li smiled slightly, "I will."

He turned to look at 'It' and continued, "What do you want to do with him?"

Huo Yun smirked evilly, "Don't worry about him. I'll deal with him properly. Yu Xin told me someone wanted revenge on him. Let that person do it."

Feng Li nodded slowly, "Okay, fine. But if you need anything, you can ask me. Also, the person who wants revenge is my brother in this world."

Huo Yun grinned mischievously, "Really? That's perfect then. Don't worry about it, I'll tell your brother about everything and give him some pointers. Anyway, we have a lot of time here. We can play around with him until your brother comes to get revenge."

Feng Li looked at 'It', thinking for a while before deciding. "Alright, let's do that."

Huo Yun smiled brightly, "Great! I knew you would agree. Now, let's go have fun!"

He grabbed hold of 'Its' hands tightly and dragged him away as if dragging a trash bag.

Feng Li watched them leave and sighed tiredly.

He rubbed his temple and shook his head helplessly.

"Seriously, this guy is crazy. I hope he doesn't kill that bastard before my brother comes to get his revenge."

--------

Feng Li returned to Yu Xi's cave. When he entered, he found Zhang Xi sitting beside the bed, looking after Yu Xin.

Zhang Xi noticed Feng Li entering and greeted him politely.

"Hello, Brother-in-law."

Feng Li nodded briefly clearly pleased by the hearing 'Brother-in-law'.

"How is Yu Xin doing?", asked Feng Li.

Zhang Xi replied straightforwardly, "He is all good, and is just tired. He is not suffering from any fever or discomfort."

He turned to look at the marks and love bites on Yu Xin, he stuttered, "But...You should also let him get checked by the doctor."

Feng Li coughed lightly and nodded. He thanked him and lied without changing his face, "Huo Yun asked you to go find him. He probably needs your help."

Zhang Xi got up hurriedly, "Yes, I will go right away. Bye, brother-in-law."

He rushed out of the cave quickly.

Feng Li after confirming Zhang Xi has left, laid down beside Yu Xin. He hugged Yu Xin from behind and buried his face into Yu Xin's neck.

He took deep breaths, smelling the scent of Yu Xin. He smiled happily, feeling contented.

Feng Li whispered, "Is it because of your past or regret of something because you always happen to be in a pitiful situation in every world?"

He nuzzled his head on Yu Xin's neck, "If you are doing this because of regret, please don't do it. I don't know what kind of person I was before but I know I would never want you to suffer."

Yu Xin was still asleep but tears seemed to be dripping from his eyes.

Feng Li didn't know about it. He fell asleep with Yu Xin in his arms.
