Chapter 4



After tucking her into bed, he gently kissed her on the forehead, returned to his room, and started thinking about his plans for tomorrow.

If he still couldn’t find a way to kickstart the system, then he would have to sell this house so that he could bring Li Wei to Mayo Clinic in America for help.

They had the best doctors and the most advanced technology; it was also his one and only hope left.

It isn’t easy to enter into Mayo as most of the rich people from all over the world were breaking their heads to get in. An appointment for one and a half years later was normal, and he wasn’t even sure if he would be able to get one for Li Wei.

“Tomorrow!”

Li Wei took a deep breath as his eyes turned cold and solemn.

He fiercely clenched his fist till his fingers turned white. As he felt the surging waves in his body, Li Wei continued to convince himself.

I am the best! I am a winner! No mercy!

Just do your best!

Fight!

As Li Wei’s smile kept appearing in his mind, Li Rui kept all the accumulated killing intent deep in his heart.

Suddenly, a knock on his door broke the atmosphere.

“Brother, are you asleep?”

“No, not yet. What’s wrong?”

“Can I come in?”

“Come.”

The door was slowly opened, and he saw Li Wei by the door holding her teddy bear and staring at him with her puppy-dog eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t sleep, I’m scared….”

“Weren’t you sound asleep just now?”

Li Rui laughed as he touched her nose.

“It became so cold as soon as you left the room. It’s so scary being in the room. I want to sleep with you instead.”

“Hmmm.”

Li Rui thought about the time when he was also scared of the dark as a little boy and even held on to his pee for the entire night just because he didn’t dare go to the toilet.

Looks like all children are the same.

“Come on in.”

Li Wei gave a soft cheer, lifted the blanket, and crawled into his arms.

She pulled one of his arms as a pillow, and Li Wei’s back tightly pressed against Li Rui’s chest. His other hand was placed on her tummy. Li Rui was entirely wrapped around her.

After looking for her favorite spot which was filled with warmth and security, she showed a happy smile.

Brother will protect me, I am not alone…

“Hehe.”

“What are you laughing at?”

“Your skin is so smooth, and it smells so nice.”

Her face was rubbing against Li Rui’s arm, and she was meowing like a little kitten.

Li Rui bent his arm and laughed as he pets her head.

As a man who has only been using soap, what nice smell would he have?

“Oh yeah, by the way, Sister Ruo Li was here the other day and brought me a cake, but you weren’t home that day.”

“Really? Did you thank her for the cake?”

“I did.”

As the siblings chatted about trivial matters, Li Wei’s voice soon became softer and softer as she fell asleep.

But Li Rui was not sleepy at all. As he pets Li Wei’s dry and mildly-nourished hair, his heart sunk.

From these little habits from her in her daily life, it was obvious that Li Wei is extremely insecure.

She always liked to stick her back toward his chest. She was just like a small animal in a terrifying dark forest who was alertly observing her surroundings.

The only person that she could trust and rely on was himself…

It seemed like their parent’s deaths had left an indelible scar in her heart.

He sighed and gave her a peck on her forehead.

“Have a good rest, everything will get better tomorrow when you wake up.”

“Huhu.”

Li Wei subconsciously replied and continued sleeping.

Li Rui forced himself to close his eyes. Then, his conscious levels fell, and all sorts of dreams started occupying his thoughts.

Creak~

A soft noise suddenly awakened his vague consciousness. He slightly opened his eyes as if it were a dream when he heard a loud rustling sound coming from outside of his room.

There was an eerie atmosphere as if the air around him had stopped as well.

In a blink of an eye, it seemed like someone had walked into the room.

Was there a thief in the house?

Li Rui tried his best to stay conscious, but he still wasn’t able to completely focus. It was as if his consciousness and senses were covered by a piece of cloth. Everything was groggy and blurry.

The scariest thing was that he couldn’t even move his body!

Was this sleep paralysis? Or did he inhale narcotic gas?

A burst of cold air brushed through from his toes all the way up to his head.

The surroundings were really dark. Li Rui stared at the door and raised his alertness.

Kekeke~

The handle didn’t move at all, but the bedroom door was easily opened as if it hadn’t been locked in the first place.

Li Rui suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

As the gap that was just as wide as a hand, a cold current came in, and all he could see was only darkness.

However, it felt like a pair of peculiarly evil eyes were staring at him as if trying to completely cover him up with malice.

There was a faint smell in the air. Li Rui tried to sit, but he felt as if it was no longer his body; he couldn’t even move a single finger.

Kekeke~

The gap became even bigger. Li Rui’s cold sweat had already wet the entire bed.

Was someone coming in?

The dim light was unable to penetrate through the darkness that was outside that door as if the space outside the bedroom was not the living room but hell instead.

Even if he tried his best to look at the condition outside, all he could see was darkness.

But surprisingly, no one came in the room, and the mumbling voices slowly disappeared as well.

Just as he thought everything was over and was about to relax, an undetectable voice suddenly exploded next to his ear like thunder.

There’s someone beside me!

All of his hair stood up out of fear. Li Rui wanted to look up, but the fear inside of him didn’t even allow him to blink.

Suddenly, a pair of cold hands went under the blanket and aimed for his chest.

AHHH!!!

Li Rui suddenly opened his eyes, but all he saw was his own sunny bedroom.

A nightmare?

Li Rui felt that he was entirely covered in sweat, and his muscles were a little exhausted from tensing for such a long time.

He laid down in bed while taking deep breaths.

The nightmare that he had last night was too surreal, and it was completely different from the previous illogical nightmares that he had before.

He could still faintly smell the stench that was around him.

Li Rui suddenly froze.

He remembered what the smell was!

It was the smell of rotting corpses!

He frowned as he involuntarily shivered and cursed, “F**cking hell!”

He shook his head and tried to shake the bad emotions out of his head. Li Rui turned to the side, and as Li Wei was still comfortably sleeping next to him, he gently crawled out of bed.

He then suddenly stopped as he reached the door.

This door… it was closed last night, right?

Why does it look like it was opened?

Perhaps Li Wei didn’t properly close it last night?

Li Rui went to the bathroom with a bitter face as there was an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

“Damn it, I’ve got a match tonight and I get this kind of nightmare? F**k!”
