Cultivation Online

Chapter 978 - All the Way

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm not angry.” Yu Rou said after seeing Meixiuʼs worried expression.

”You guys wanted to keep it a secret from me because you didnʼt know how I would react, right? Thank you for your concerns, but I can handle myself.”

”However, I would be lying if I said that I am not shocked by the results.”

”Anyways, I came here because I have some questions that I can only ask you since it would be too embarrassing to ask my Brother.”

”First of all, how long has this been happening?”

Meixiu pondered for a moment before speaking, ”Sometime after we moved out of Xia Jingyiʼs apartment.”

”Then my second question… How far have you guys gone?! Have you kissed yet?!” Yu Rou asked in an anxious manner.

Meixiu swallowed nervously.

She didnʼt dare to respond without thinking about it first, as this could break Yu Rouʼs spirit.

ʼShould I lie to her and say that weʼve only kissed, or should I tell her the truth— that weʼve gone all the way?ʼ

”Youʼre not going to lie to me again, are you?” Yu Rou suddenly said with narrowed eyes.

”I have forgiven you for lying about my brother being hospitalized, but I wonʼt forgive you if you lie to me this time!”

Seeing Yu Rouʼs stern face, Meixiu sighed, ”We have kissed. In fact, we have already gone all the way.”

”W-What?” Yu Rou was taken aback by Meixiuʼs words

It took her a moment to comprehend the meaning behind Meixiuʼs words, but when she finally understood the true meaning, Yu Rouʼs face flushed with redness.

”Y-Youʼve gone all the way?! L-Like… ALL THE WAY?!” Yu Rou wanted confirmation, as she hoped that it was just another misunderstanding.

However, Meixiu said, ”Yes, weʼve gone all the way— we had sex.”

Yu Rou started stumbling backward until she fell on the bed, where she would quietly lie down and stare at the ceiling with a dazed look on her face.

After a whole minute of awkward silence, Yu Rou spoke, ”Lulu… Did he also do it with her?”

”Yes.” Meixiu answered without hesitation.

”I see… So you guys have finally done it. Good for you, Meixiu.”

”Huh?” Meixiu raised her eyebrows.

Yu Rou sat on the bed and said, ”Youʼve always liked him, right? The only reason you started working for the Yu Family is so that you could be with my brother. Now that your dreams have come true, what are you going to do next?”

”We havenʼt planned that far yet.” Meixiu shook her head.

Yu Rou turned silent again.

”Are you okay, Yu Rou?” Meixiu suddenly asked her.

”What makes you think that I am not okay?” Yu Rou looked at her.

”I mean… You also like him, right?”

”Of course. Heʼs my precious brother.”

”You know thatʼs not what I mean.” Meixiu said.

A bittersweet smile appeared on Yu Rouʼs face as she spoke, ”Why are you asking me that?”

”Donʼt you want to be with Yuan? If itʼs you, I wouldnʼt mind having you in our family. I think Lulu will also say the same thing.” Meixiu said.

”What? Are you crazy? Thereʼs no way we can be partners! Heʼs my brother!” Yu Rou exclaimed.

”Yes, but that is only in name. Youʼre not actually blood-related, so thereʼs no problem.”

”Thereʼs plenty of problems! Although we may not share the same blood, we have lived most of our lives as siblings! He will definitely reject such an idea, and that will destroy our current relationship! I donʼt want that to happen!”

”Yu Rou…”

”Thank you, Meixiu. I understand your feelings, but you do not need to be concerned about me. Just like how you figured things out with him by yourselves, I am also going to do the same.”

”Anyways, itʼs getting late. Iʼm going to go to sleep.”

Yu Rou left Meixiuʼs room and returned to Yuan shortly after.

”I didnʼt think that youʼd return.” Yuan said to her.

”Why would you think that?” Yu Rou said as she entered the bed.

”Youʼre not angry?”

”Whatʼs there to be angry about? Iʼm only a little frustrated that you tried to hide the truth from me, thatʼs all.”

”Sorry.”

”Brother, can I hug you?” She suddenly asked.

”Of course.”

Yu Rou moved closer to him and treated his body like a hug pillow.

”Iʼm going to sleep like this. Goodnight.”

”Goodnight.”

A few minutes later, Yuan could hear Yu Rou sobbing.

However, he decided to not say anything and pretended to be asleep.

Yu Rou also didnʼt say anything and kept on crying until she fell asleep.

The following morning, they both acted as though last night never happened.

”Good morning.” Yu Rou said to him.

”Morning.”

After doing their morning routine, Yuan and Yu Rou went to eat breakfast with the others.

Although none of them said anything about last night, Chu Liuxiang, Xia Jingyi, and White Lotus could sense something off about the atmosphere.

In the end, breakfast ended up feeling a little awkward, mostly because it was a little too quiet.

”Are you guys ready to leave? Itʼll be a two hour ride to the faction.” White Lotus asked them.

”Yes, weʼre ready.”

Once everyone was in a car, they started driving towards the Eternal Lotusesʼ headquarters.

Their journey to the headquarters was as quiet as breakfast, but it lasted twice as long.

It was obvious to Chu Liuxiang and the others that something had happened to the siblings last night, but nobody there dared to ask.

Upon arriving at the Eternal Lotusesʼ headquarters, White Lotus said, ”I shouldʼve probably mentioned this before we came here, but I kind of forgot about them. We actually have a few guests staying here at the moment, and theyʼre all looking for you…”

”Me?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”I got ahead of myself after our meeting in Cultivation Online and bragged about it to some people… Iʼm really sorry! But I didnʼt tell them anything about our conversations! I swear!” White Lotus lowered her head and apologized.

Yuan smiled and said, ”Donʼt worry about it. Iʼll entertain them for a bit if they approach me.”

”Thank you.”

They all entered the Eternal Lotusesʼ headquarters shortly after.
