Chapter 236 - Moving Out

Chapter 236 - Moving Out

After talking with Xia Jingyi for a few minutes on the phone, Yu Rou hung up and went to Yuan's room to relay the news to him.
"Brother, I've found a place for you to stay at, and it's even for free!"
"Really? How did you find this place?" Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Do you remember that time I mentioned my classmate who was a sweet girl? I spoke to her just now, and she said that you can move into her apartment for free!"
"I see… Thank you, Yu Rou, for helping me with this… None of this would've been possible without you." Yuan said.
"Don't even mention it!" Yu Rou chuckled.
"Anyway, when do you plan on moving out?"
"I can move out now if everything is prepared," Yuan said.
"Well, you have someone to take care of you, and you have a place to stay. Now we just need to worry about your medical expenses and whatnot." Yu Rou said.
"It's fine, Yu Rou. I don't think I'll need to do any more checkups. After all, I've been doing it for the past ten years without any different result; it's just a waste of money at this point." Yuan said, not mentioning his slight recovery just yet, as he wanted to be able to move at least his limbs before telling her.
"Are you sure? I still think it would be better if we have Doctor Wang check your body every once in a while." Yu Rou said.
"I guess we can do that."
"Anyway, since there's nothing else, we can move whenever you want, brother."
"Let's move out now. I don't want to stay in this place any longer." Yuan said.
"Okay. Let me get your wheelchair."
Yu Rou went outside and returned a couple of minutes later with the wheelchair.
"Brother, I think we should get you cleaned first before you leave. After all, it might be more difficult to clean you in your new home." Yu Rou suddenly suggested.
"Okay."
Thus, Yu Rou placed Yuan in the wheelchair before pushing him to the bathroom.
Once the bathtub was ready with warm water, Yu Rou rinsed Yuan's body and washed him before carrying him into the bathtub.
"Brother… you've gotten noticeably heavier… I'm already starting to have trouble carrying you." Yu Rou said, and she continued, "Even your body… It's definitely much meatier than last week, and even your muscles are somewhat refined! Is this because of the soup or something else?"
Yu Rou was pleasantly surprised when she realized just how much Yuan's body has changed compared to last week. It would be like comparing a skeleton to a healthy body!
"Who knows, but isn't this a good thing? Maybe I'll even suddenly start walking again next month if it continues like this!" Yuan laughed in a non-joking voice.
"Don't worry, bother. No matter what, I will not lose hope. Even if our parents give up, I will never give up on you…" Yu Rou said in a somewhat sobbing voice.
If Yuan could turn around and see Yu Rou's face right now, he would see tears dripping from her beautiful face.
"Yu Rou…" Yuan sighed.
'While I cannot do anything for her in this world... if it's Cultivation Online…'
After thinking for a moment, Yuan said, "Yu Rou… You've always wanted me to return to the spotlight, right?"
"Eh?" Hearing Yuan's sudden question, Yu Rou quickly wiped her tears and said, "Of course. Brother's the most handsome when he's surrounded in that dazzling light, and I want people to look at you in admiration like previously."
"I don't know when I'll be able to return to that spotlight in this world, but in Cultivation Online, where I can use my body to its full extent and more, I'll do my best."
"What are you talking about, brother? You're already in the spotlight. People just don't know it's you… yet." Yu Rou laughed slightly.
"I know… that's why I'll reveal my identity— I'll let the world know who Player Yuan is, so they'll know it's me." Yuan suddenly said, shocking Yu Rou.
"What?! If you do that, you'll—!"
"Of course I am not going to reveal it now, but once I'm ready, I'll let the world know. The only reason I've been keeping this identity a secret is so that our peaceful life won't be disturbed. However, now that our peace has been disturbed, it wouldn't matter if I reveal my identity or not. Perhaps I'll even get some help that way."
"While that is true… That's a very risky move. Who knows what will happen once the world learns of your real identity, especially the Legacy Families. They're the ones you should be the most worried about since you've taken their spotlights."
"I see…" Yuan mumbled.
After submerging themselves in the bathtub for many minutes, Yu Rou carried Yuan out of the bathtub and placed him on the drying table whilst she went to dry herself with a towel.
Once she was fully dressed, Yu Rou helped Yuan put on his clothes before carrying him back to his wheelchair.
Upon leaving the bathroom, Yu Rou went to speak with Meixiu.
"Meixiu, I'll bring Brother Tian to his new living quarters now. Can you pack his things in the meantime? It's mostly just his clothes and the console," Yu Rou said to her.
"I understand." Meixiu nodded.
Once Yu Rou and Yuan left the place, Meixiu immediately began packing Yuan's clothes.
And just like Yu Rou had said, there really wasn't much to pack besides some clothes and pajamas. In fact, the biggest thing she had to pack was the gaming device that took up an entire suitcase by itself.
Meanwhile, Yu Rou entered the limousine with Yuan and made their way to the apartment that was only three miles away from the school she was attending, and she called Xia Jingyi before leaving the house to let her know that they were heading there now.
