97: Strange points

“Phew!” Li Ke opened his eyes and saw the familiar room, tears welling up in his eyes!

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Who?!” Li Ke jumped straight out of bed! Seeing that it was hour, he breathed a sigh of relief, then rushed over and hugged him!

“hour, I’ve had such a terrible time! You don’t know how terrible it’s been!” Li Ke cried uncontrollably, snot and tears streaming down his face: “That kid Zhao Bo is not human!”

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t wipe your snot on my clothes, these are new clothes!” hour shouted.

“Brother, I was beaten eight times a day, three hours each time! And when I managed to eat, it was leftover dog food!” Li Ke cried uncontrollably.

hour watched Li Ke’s bubbling snot burst on his clothes, and was speechless for a moment, only able to say: “You come down first and then talk slowly.”

“Okay.” Li Ke realized he was completely hanging on hour at this moment and felt it was a bit inappropriate.

“This is?” Li Ke suddenly asked, his eyes shining.

“My cousin, Yao Siyu, I’ve mentioned her to you before.” hour smiled.

“Hello, I’m Yao Siyu, it’s a pleasure…” Yao Siyu’s outstretched hand hovered in mid-air, a look of surprise on her face. Why did Li Ke suddenly run off?

She couldn’t help but look at hour, who awkwardly said: “He might have an urgent need to pee?”

Soon, the bathroom door opened. Li Ke had changed into a different set of clothes at some point, now wearing a black slim-fit suit, no longer looking disheveled.

Li Ke walked step by step, stopping in front of Yao Siyu: “Hello, my name is Li Ke, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Mhm, Yao Siyu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Yao Siyu extended her hand and shook Li Ke’s, smiling with two small dimples.

“How pleased?” Li Ke asked.

“Huh?” Yao Siyu was a bit flustered for a moment, her large eyes filled with confusion.

“Just kidding.” Li Ke suddenly laughed: “hour must have mentioned me to you.”

“Yes, just Li Ke my cousin said, you’re quite interesting, huh.” Yao Siyu gave an awkward laugh, and forcefully pulled her hand out of Li Ke’s thick palm.

hour stepped forward and touched Li Ke’s hair, surprised: “Li Ke, you’re quite funny, did you even put on hair gel?”

Li Ke batted hour’s hand away and smiled at Yao Siyu: “Sorry to have kept you waiting just now, I’m usually very particular about my self-image.”

“No worries, no worries.” Yao Siyu said perfunctorily.

“Stop being funny, you don’t even shower once a week, and your underwear has two holes in it and you haven’t changed it!” hour burst out laughing as if he had discovered a new continent.

“hour, please don’t slander me. I shower very often. Secondly, I am a relatively nostalgic person.” Li Ke said with a serious expression.

“Your cousin always Li Kes to joke, don’t believe him.”

“Okay, okay. Where were you and my cousin in your story? Please continue.” Yao Siyu reminded him. She just wanted to escape from here. She always felt that the person in front of her was a bit abnormal.

“Right, the story is a bit long, let’s sit down and talk slowly.” Li Ke smiled, pulling the gaming chair next to Yao Siyu.

“Do you want Pu-erh tea, hand-ground coffee, or purified water?” Li Ke asked.

“You even have hand-ground coffee here? Then I’ll have a…” Yao Siyu looked at hour, who suddenly interrupted her, a bit confused.

“We’ll just have purified water.” hour said.

“Okay.” Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Yao Siyu asked.

“Nothing, drinking purified water is good for your health.” hour smiled. Li Ke had been giving him frantic glances, and if he couldn’t figure it out after all these years of being brothers, he’d be a fool.

Soon, Li Ke returned, handing each of them a bottle of purified water.

“Tell me, it was fine before, why did it suddenly change?” hour asked.

Li Ke listened, then sat on the sofa and stated: “Yes, the turning point was one day when Zhao Bo suddenly organized us into a cavalry unit.

Many people were curious then, being able to ride horses and gallop across the grasslands, something that couldn’t be done in Great Qin.

And because of my excellent abilities, I was promoted to Niru, commanding three hundred men.

My daily routine was to lead these men in training. After some time, I discovered some unusual things.”

“What unusual things?” hour asked. Yao Siyu was also drawn in, her big eyes fixed on Li Ke, wanting to know what happened next.

“hour, I told you something a long time ago, do you remember?” Li Ke asked.

“What did you say?” hour was a bit confused.

“You reap what you sow; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.” Li Ke said.

“You said that?” hour was a bit puzzled; wasn’t that what he had said?

“Yes, so in order to change your beliefs, I ventured into danger alone.” Li Ke smiled.

“You ventured into danger alone?” hour wondered, “Didn’t you just run too fast and ended up in the Nuzhen Tribe?”

“Yes, so from the very beginning, I was extremely wary of them.” Li Ke interrupted hour and continued:

“Remember the last time I quit the game? After the Qin Army reached the entrance of the tribe, the entire Jurchen Encampment trained Li Ke mad.

At this time, the Jurchen who were training us told us many things during their idle chatter.

For example, their hatred for the Qin Army, their disgust for the Qin People, and so on. They even said that one day they would occupy Great Qin and make all Qin People their slaves!”

“That crazy?” Yao Siyu asked.

“Yes, but as a descendant of Yanhuang, as a promising Great Xia person of the new era, how could I help them? Even in the game, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to do such a thing!” Li Ke said righteously.

“Well said!” Yao Siyu agreed!

“Thank you, but many people still thought it was just a game. I tried my best to dissuade them, but I was reported.

Then I was imprisoned. They beat me constantly, but I didn’t give in. I always held firm to my beliefs!

But every time I ate leftover dog food, I felt incredibly sad.

They became more and more excessive with me. My whole body was covered in wounds. My wounds became infected, and I was in so much pain, but I couldn’t even kill myself.

They kept trying to persuade me, promising me high positions and generous salaries. I wanted to give up countless times. To be honest, I wavered, but as soon as I thought of the education I had received, my pure, innocent heart, I gritted my teeth and endured it!”

Li Ke said calmly.

“Brother, you’re truly amazing! You’re my god!” hour exclaimed, giving an exaggerated thumbs-up!

“I believe every true patriotic youth would do the same.” Li Ke said indifferently.

hour looked at Li Ke, who was now fully in character, and couldn’t help but sigh, “This act, it’s so smooth!”

But he was also a bit puzzled, was this real or fake? How could he not tell the difference anymore!

“But, they were constantly beating you, were you being beaten while eating leftovers?” Yao Siyu asked curiously.

“Huh?” Li Ke was a bit confused.

This girl, how could she be so good-looking, yet have such a peculiar way of thinking?
