Insufficient balance

  "…Immediately help me investigate all the information of the residents of No. 12 villa in Tianyuan community, it must be investigated before this afternoon...Be careful, don't let the people living inside know."

  Put down the phone, Yunfeng clenched his trembling hands and exclaimed excitedly: "It's him, it must be him. The only one who could fight 'Eve' for half an hour in 'Tian Tu' back then without falling behind. The appearance can be similar... but that gaze won't belong to a second person! And coincidentally, he has a sister suffering from Isloka..."

  "My annoying little sister, this time your big brother is going to give you a huge surprise!"

  Two hours later...

  "...The man's name is Ling Chen, and the girl's name is Ling Shui Ruo. Two years ago, they moved here from Zhongzhou City, presumably to receive better treatment for Isolka. I just went to the hospital to check on her medical records, and it turns out that the girl has been infected with Isolka for three whole years. Her parents were also infected around the same time, but they both died within a year. However, the girl has managed to hold on until now. The doctor says she has an extremely strong will to live...but the Isolka virus has already spread throughout her body, and even if she's very strong, she can only live for another three months at most...Additionally, there are rumors that Ling Chen is a child that the Ling couple adopted six years ago, and he doesn't have any blood relation with Ling Shui Ruo. The authenticity of this information cannot be confirmed for now...Young Master, this is all the information we've gathered so far."

  "Alright." Yunfeng hung up the video call and glanced at the time. He stood up, paced back and forth in the room a few times, then opened the door and rushed out, finding himself unable to wait even a moment longer.

  This kind of thing requires him to take action personally.

  ……

  As he entered the house, Ling Chen picked up his sister's soft body as usual and gently placed her on the small bed specially set up for her in the living room. He bent down, touched Ruo Ruo's nose tip, and smiled: "Ruo Ruo, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

  "I just ate ice cream, I'm not hungry." Ling Shui shook her head, then blinked her gem-like eyes, opened her arms and made a hugging gesture towards her brother: "Brother, it's still so hot, how about you hug me and take me to take a bath?"

  "Good." Ling Chen smiled and picked up Water Ruo again, heading towards the bathroom. The Isolka virus had spread throughout her body, leaving her with almost no physical strength, not even that of a two or three-year-old child. She was unable to walk on her own and relied on her wheelchair and Ling Chen's arms for movement. She cherished the feeling of being held in his embrace, closing her eyes whenever he did so, using what little energy she had left to cling tightly to him, listening to his heartbeat, and smelling his scent.

  Ling Chen single-handedly took care of everything in the household, from laundry to cooking and cleaning... all the chores belonged to him alone. In his spare time, he devoted himself entirely to accompanying Shui Ru, hardly willing to let her out of his sight for even a moment.

  Two years ago, when he brought Shui Ru to Jing Hua, the capital of Huaxia, he had already decided that before she left him, he would spend every minute and second by her side. Perhaps, before meeting her, he would never have believed that one day he would go to such lengths for a girl.

  The spacious and clean bathroom, the water was like a gentle caress on her skin as she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Her brother gently removed her upper garment, then skillfully unbuttoned her light blue blouse. A cool sensation swept across her chest, and she opened her eyes to gaze at her own snowy white breasts, which glistened like two inverted jade bowls in the air, their tips adorned with two pale pink nipples that seemed almost too delicate to touch.

  And this scenery that can make any man's blood boil, only she and the man behind her could appreciate. A pair of hands wrapped around her arms from underneath, carefully supporting and gently massaging her soft white skin. Ling Chen leaned in close to her neck from behind, admiring the tender flesh at the base of her neck, and lovingly said: "Ruo Ruo, it seems like they've gotten bigger again."

  "Does... brother like it?" Ling Shui's tender lips lightly touched, her chest rose and fell gently under his caress, her cheeks were like rouge, soft gasps escaped her mouth, and her eyes gradually became hazy.

  "If you are the most beautiful girl in the world, and every part of your body is the most beautiful, I certainly like it." Ling Chen smiled and said, a light kiss fell on her thin, soft, fragrant lips, then slowly slid to her face with a texture like ice porcelain, Ling Shui Ruo's skin was as delicate as jade, slightly transparent, smooth and tender like a baby.

  His hands left her chest, slowly moving down, gently pulling off her light blue lingerie, revealing her snow-white skin, delicate and slightly bulging body, two long and straight legs shining with crystal luster, the white and tender buttocks were even more beautiful. Ling Chen gently picked her up and put her into the bathtub filled with warm water.

  Even though he spent every day with her, his body was extremely familiar with hers, but every time they faced each other, his willpower would be subjected to a great test. He calmed his heart, and his fingers gently stroked her entire body with warm water, sliding over her smooth neck, plump shoulders, tender white chest, slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, and long, delicate legs as white as jade... His movements were slow and gentle, as if he was touching a fragile glass doll.

  Ling Shui closed her eyes, like a gentle little cat, nestled in his chest, enjoying the caress of his body. When the water temperature began to cool down gradually, she opened her eyes and whispered: "Brother, the doctor said that I can only live for three more months at most, is it true?"

  Ling Chen's hand paused for a moment, then casually grasped her small hand, smiling and saying: "Does Ruo Ruo believe it?"

  "I won't believe it, I haven't fulfilled my promise to brother yet, how can I die?"

  Ling Chen's eyes misted over with a layer of hazy water vapor, and he hastily closed his eyes to dispel the mist that had just risen, lest it be seen by You Rou. He held the girl in front of him tightly and whispered: "So, Rou Rou must work hard until the day she marries me, okay?"

  He would never forget the promise she made to him when she was twelve, in her childish voice: "When I grow up, I must marry my brother..." This beautiful promise also became her unchanging persistence.

  But now, Isolka's most beautiful wish has no possibility of being realized. She can hold on until now, which is already strong enough, but he is very clear that her current life force is as weak as a tender young grass, and even a slightly larger wind and rain may take away her life at any time. Just an hour ago, the doctor told him in a cruel voice: "She can live for at most three more months... This is still the most optimistic state. After she falls asleep, there is always a possibility that she will never wake up again. She has been able to hold on until now is already a miracle... Give up..."

  Give up? Ha... How could he possibly give up!

  "Uh-huh, I'll work hard and persist until that day... But, brother, can you promise me one more thing?" Ling Shui'er said with a flicker in her eyes.

  Ling Chen: *silence*

  "If... if I don't make it to that day, you can't be too sad for too long, and you definitely can't be alone. Then, you have to find a pretty, gentle, kind-hearted girl who likes you to take care of you, accompany you forever, okay?" Ling Shui Ruo leaned against his chest, saying something like a dreamy murmur.

  Ling Xun bit his lip with force... If he said so, the strong Water had never spoken out. Obviously, she also knew that she no longer had the strength to hold on. He shook his head and whispered in a faintly trembling voice: "Ruo Ruo, don't say such foolish things, I definitely won't let you leave me!!"

  Ling Shui didn't say another word, she leaned against her brother's chest, savoring every precious second with him.

  Mom said that after people die, they will go to a place called heaven. That place is very warm and peaceful, making everyone happy. But there's no brother there...

  A place without elder brothers cannot be paradise...

  I really want to live on, until the day I can marry my brother... and spend the rest of my life with him, never seeing him sad or lonely.

  …………

  …………

  She fed Ling Shui Ru lunch, then carried her back to the bed in her room, lightly kissed her forehead, and quietly retreated. At this time every day, Ling Shui Ru was always asleep. People with Isloka need a lot of sleep to slow down the loss of life force to some extent; otherwise, it will accelerate death.

  He glanced at the time, sat down on the sofa and casually turned on the TV. He rarely watched TV and rarely paid attention to anything other than Isloca's treatment methods. On Isloca, he poured all his energy and time into her.

  "...The world of "Divine Moon" will be launched simultaneously in all regions around the world on the 7th of this month at 9:00 am. "Divine Moon" is another epoch-making breakthrough in the history of virtual game worlds, it will show all players a mysterious world beyond imagination..."

  He changed the channel a few times, and they were all about promoting "Shén Yuè". Ling Chen turned off the TV, half-reclined on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and let out a soft sigh. All his thoughts now were on Ling Shui Rou's body, what "Shén Yuè", what virtual game world, had nothing to do with him.

  "Big brother! Big brother, wake up quickly, lying on the ground like this will get you burned. Big brother..."

  "I don't have water... Is this okay? It's cool and sweet."

  "Is it delicious? If it's delicious, then drink it all up..."

  "Waa... Mom, why did you push me away? Big brother is thirsty and wants to drink water... Mom, Dad, can't you save him? Dad, you're a great doctor, you'll definitely be able to save him, right?"

  ……

  It was you who called me back from the brink of death that year. But now, what can I use to save your life?

  "Ding-dong......"

  "Ding ding......"

  The doorbell sound ringing in his ears made Ling Chen open his eyes suddenly, sit up straight and frown slightly. In this neighborhood, almost every household knew that the 12th villa was inhabited by a person with Isoloka disease, so there were hardly any guests at home, and even people didn't dare to approach here. The doorbell hadn't rung for ages. What he cared more about was whether this noisy bell would disturb the sleeping Water Ruo.
