Chapter 189: One Game, One Dream
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Rong and her husband were classmates. After graduating, they had went on to become founders of a company together. After a few years of development, the company business was booming, gaining a global reputation.
Their lives had been the envy of everyone, but unfortunately, this happiness didn’t last long. In a blink, everything had fallen apart when Yang Rong’s husband was involved in a car crash, leaving her as a widow.
The two-year-old Lil’ Momo was also involved in the car crash but had survived as her father shielded her from the impact which would have otherwise been life-threatening.
The shock towards Yang Rong was horrendous. From then on, she started to despise Lil’ Momo, blaming her for the car crash and consequently the death of her father because she had asked to go out to play...
She was torn, one side of her was hate, the other was love. With these two emotions mixed together, it was the true feelings Yang Rong had towards Momo.
Sometimes she would love Momo very much, while other times, she would hate Momo so much that even the mere sight of her was intolerable. An outsider would find it difficult to understand Yang Rong’s attitude as they would not know how tiring this life had become for her since the passing of her husband.
“I want to accompany her more and treat her better. But every time I remember her dad...” Yang Rong covered her face and started to cry again.
“Then accompany her more, her dad is already gone, do you really want her to go on without her mama too?”
Yang Rong was stunned as she looked up at Li Yi.
“Am I wrong?”
“But I...”
“You’ll feel uncomfortable? Please, if you carry on this way, both you and Momo would feel uncomfortable. Do you think you can go on living this way? What do kids know? Rather than placing the blame on her, why not take the blame yourself.”
“Blame myself?” This was the first time Yang Rong heard it from this perspective.
Li Yi chuckled, “Of course, everyone’s time will come. There are way too many regrettable things that you cannot change once it does, but you can still change them while you’re alive.
“Take yourself as an example, you’re still alive, you can choose to love or hate Momo, but can her father choose?
“You clearly can choose to love Momo, so why do you choose to run away? Do you want Momo to hate you for the rest of her life when she grows up?”
“Hate me for the rest of her life?” Yang Rong’s entire body trembled.
Li Yi nodded, “Based on her character right now, this is definitely a possibility.”
“Then... Then what should I do?” Yang Rong started to panic.
Li Yi said, “Treat her better and let the past go. Otherwise, the both you will suffer. When both of you are near your deaths, it would be too late to mend and change things even if you wanted to.”
Although Li Yi’s words were harsh, they were sincere revelations he reached from being reborn. The dead could not change a thing, but the living could!
Yang Rong was silent. After thinking with her head down for a long while, she finally uttered to Li Yi, “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me, this was something you should’ve done some time ago. Lil’ Momo did not do anything wrong. She is still young, her mind is akin to a piece of white paper 1 . If you blame her then you’re just blaming yourself. Now go, you can sleep with her tonight.”
The conversation had carried on till 5 a.m. by then, it was still far from sunrise. Lil’ Momo had also slept quite late, Li Yi estimated that she would only wake up after 8.
“Thank you!” Yang Rong thanked Li Yi once again, but when she glanced at Lil’ Momo, her face was still filled with hesitation.
Saying something and putting it into action are two completely different things.
“I’ll head to bed.” Li Yi yawned, completely ignoring mother and daughter pair as he headed back to his room.
Li Yi was truly tired. After telling Lil’ Momo stories for an entire night, then getting up at 3 a.m. to call Yang Rong, he was already tired beyond his limits. He had fallen into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
He dreamt that he was once again taking on the Thief class, fighting a small tortoise alongside Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow, leveling up with each kill, their bodies were constantly flashing gold and they had reached the max level in a matter of seconds...
“Hahahaha, holy shit, I’m at the max level.”
“Hihi, I’m also at the max level, yay!”
Jiaojiao and Wind-on-Snow happily skipped around in a circle while holding each others’ hands. Li Yi also laughed and suggested, “Why don’t we play a little game to celebrate?”
“What game?” The two girls asked in unison.
Li Yi swiftly took off all his clothes and entered stealth.
Rip, rip...
The clothes on the two girl’s bodies were torn away, both of them were pushed to the ground by Li Yi still in Stealth.
“Stealth Twin Flight!”
A nosebleed-inducing scene had appeared. Li Yi kissed the one on the right then left, back and forth one after the other. After that, he was still not satisfied as he stacked the two girls on top of each other. Again, kissing them one after the other, he repeatedly kissed them non-stop...
“Dark Wing! Dark Wing!”
Just as Li Yi in was about to make his next move, someone shook him awake. As he forced open his eyes, it turned out to be Yang Rong.
Yang Rong was seated by his bed, “I saw you making strange twisted faces just now, I was afraid you were having a nightmare, so I woke you up.”
“Oh... Thank you.”
Li Yi felt a hint of disappointment flash in his heart, as his mind started to clear up, he looked at Yang Rong surprised, “This is my room, why are you...”
Yang Rong responded awkwardly, “I... couldn’t fall asleep, so I wanted to come in and talk to you.”
Yang Rong was nervously looking around, not daring to make eye contact with Li Yi. Just as she turned around, she was faced directly with Li Yi’s erect limb, causing her to blush red.
“About the last time.” Li Yi coughed out loud.
“It was a dream.” Yang Rong still did not dare to raise her head.
“Mm...” Li Yi expressed his agreement.
Li Yi was still lying in bed whilst Yang Rong was seated by the bedside. The two slowly started to chat awkwardly.
As they were chatting, Li Yi pointed at Yang Rong’s chest inquisitively, “Why are your clothes torn?”
“I was in a rush when I was heading over earlier, so it got ripped.” Yang Rong used her hands to cover the torn parts of her clothes.
Li Yi carefully looked at this Missus in front of him, gulping down his saliva, “Let me take a look...”
“N-no.”
“It’s fine, I’ll only look...”
After his wet dream had been interrupted, the leud thoughts in his mind were still burning with a fiery passion. Li Yi was no robot, he was merely an average human of flesh and blood. If an extremely stylish and charismatic lady was sitting by his bed, of course, he would feel something.
Li Yi pulled Yang Rong into his embrace...
In another room, Momo was hugging on to the Grass Mud Horse toy soundly asleep, occasionally mumbling something in her sleep.
“Momo likes Grass Mud Horses, I want more and more Grass Mud Horses...”
...
“It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but it’s had to resist our true feelings, don’t say that I purposely wanted to trick you...”
At 8 a.m. sharp, a loud mobile ringtone rang, shocking awake the two who were soundly asleep.
Yang Rong’s phone was ringing.
“Lil’ Li? I’m Yang Rong, yes yes, I’ll return to the firm immediately. Oh right, contact the police and tell them that Momo has already been found, cancel the report.”
“Uncle Yi!”
Just at this time, a soft cheerful voice rang out. Lil’ Momo was awake!
Li Yi pushed the door open as he walked out.
Lil’ Momo was rubbing her eyes as she sat up, “I’m hungry.”
“What do you want to eat? Uncle Yi will bring you out to buy it.”
Lil’ Momo had said that she wanted to eat KFC. Li Yi immediately helped her wash her face and put on her clothes before bringing her out. On the other hand, Yang Rong had already sneaked out, she was standing outside downstairs, waiting for them.
“It’s mama, I guess there’s no escape this time.” Lil’ Momo gave out an adult-like sigh, before waving to Li Yi, “Uncle Yi, it will be very difficult for Momo to run out next time, so remember to come play with Momo when you’re free!”
Li Yi was drenched in sweat as he hurriedly nodded.
Lil’ Momo followed Yang Rong into the tattered sportscar, still waving goodbye at Li Yi.
On the road, Lil’ Momo stared at Yang Rong and asked, “How did you know I was here? Was it Uncle Yi who told you?”
“Your uncle Yang told me.” Yang Rong was ecstatic as she gently pinched Momo’s little nose.
“Hmph, men, none of them are good people.” Momo furiously tossed the Grass Mud Horse toy onto the car seat.
There was still a pile of Grass Mud Horses in Li Yi’s house. After Lil’ Momo left, Li Yi had someone send them to the capital, gifting them all to Momo.
Although he had gained a substantive relationship with Yang Rong, she gave Li Yi a call after everything telling him that it was a dream and not to take it for reality...
‘If it’s a dream then so be it, but these kinds of realistic dreams weren’t that easy to pull off.”
After going at it for seven times, Li Yi’s entire body was limp. He had to rest an entire night before he had fully recovered. After washing his face and eating dinner, he finally returned to the game...
The Eye of the Siren debuff had already disappeared, so Li Yi rubbed the Return City Stone and went back to Shattered Frost City.
When he reached home, he turned in the quest to the Mermaid Princess.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have completed the Mermaid Princess’ quest. Your Affinity with the Mermaid Princess increased by 100 points. Additionally, your Affinity with the Mermaid Race increased by 1000 points.]
When Li Yi learned of the quest rewards, his expression immediately sunk.
