Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 235 Yun Yi's Collapse

Yun Xiling carried the last dish out of the kitchen, placed it on the table, and said, "Alright, stop complaining. Let's eat first, the food's getting cold."

The two sat around the dining table, eating and chatting in a pleasant atmosphere. Lin Mu knew his younger sister, Lin Yue, had gone out for dinner that evening, so he didn't invite her to join them. He casually glanced around and asked, "Hey, where's Yun Yi? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiling put down her chopsticks and replied, "My brother went back to his room; he's probably doing his homework."

Lin Yue scoffed without any politeness: "Write my ass! His homework is right here!" As she spoke, she lifted her foot, and her fair, jade-like foot was casually placed on the coffee table, with Yun Yi's winter vacation homework under her foot.

Lin Yue smiled mischievously: "I bet this kid isn't doing his homework in his room right now, he's playing video games!"

"What? I thought he took his homework to his room! That brat..." Yun Xiling angrily put down her chopsticks and stormed upstairs.

Yun Xi rushed to Yun Yi's door and kicked it open. Sure enough, Yun Yi was wearing headphones, engrossed in playing a game, occasionally shouting "Charge!" and "Well done!"

Yun Xiling strode over, ripped off his headphones, and glared at him angrily: "Yun Yi! Look at you, playing games instead of doing your homework!" Yun Yi was startled by the sudden turn of events. Seeing his sister's angry expression, he panicked instantly: "Sis, I... I'll just play for a little while. I'll do it right away!"

"A while? You've been in your room for over an hour, haven't you? Your homework is still in the living room! What are you going to do?!" Yun Xiling said angrily, hands on her hips.

Yun Yi lowered his head. He remembered putting his homework in the drawer under the coffee table. What happened?

Lin Yue followed, leaning against the doorframe, gloating: "See? Caught red-handed."

Upon seeing Lin Yue, Yun Yi suddenly realized that his cousin must have taken out his homework! Yun Yi's face turned bright red with anxiety. His cousin was really too much; she deliberately took out his homework to make him get scolded!

Yun Xiling got even angrier: "Yun Yi, you better go do your homework right now! Have you finished the tasks I assigned you for today? Have you memorized the ancient poems? Can you spell the words? I'll come upstairs after I finish eating and watch you do your homework!"

Yun Yi felt incredibly wronged. He glared at Lin Yue with wide eyes and a resentful expression. Lin Yue felt a little guilty under Yun Yi's gaze, but still stubbornly retorted, "Why are you looking at me? You don't do your homework and you still think you're right."

Yun Yi stomped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do. He hadn't done his homework, and he knew he was in the wrong. After Yun Xiling came downstairs, Yun Yi glared at Lin Yue angrily: "Cousin, all you do is tattle! You even deliberately brought out my homework." Lin Yue crossed her arms, completely unconcerned: "Who told you to play games instead of doing your homework? You're about to take the high school entrance exam, don't you know that?"

Yun Yi went downstairs dejectedly and took his homework back to his room. After Yun Xiling quickly finished her meal, she promptly dragged Yun Yi to the living room to memorize vocabulary words.

Looking at the wailing Yun Yi and the furious Yun Xiling, Lin Yue couldn't help but find it amusing. She then looked at Lin Mu, who was washing dishes, and asked, "Brother, has Sister Yun ever been this fierce to you?"

"No." Lin Mu said while washing the dishes, "Stop teasing people all the time. How's your homework going? I know you're having some trouble keeping up. Do you want me to find you a tutor?"

Lin Yue pouted, "No need, brother, I can handle it myself." Lin Mu knew that his sister was a woman of her own mind, so he didn't say anything more.

Lin Yue went back to her room, took a shower, and then used her consciousness to blur the memories of the people involved in the events of the previous night before starting to watch the drama.

Just as Lin Yue was engrossed in reading, she suddenly heard the door open. Turning around, she saw Yun Yi standing in the doorway, looking at her with a helpless and aggrieved expression.

Yun Yi opened his mouth to speak, but Lin Yue interrupted him: "Didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering a girl's room?"

Yun Yi blushed at Lin Yue's words, obediently closed the door, and then knocked. "Come in," Lin Yue said. Yun Yi then pushed the door open and came in. He hesitated for a moment, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, and whispered, "Lin Yue, I really can't memorize the vocabulary anymore. Could you please put in a good word for me with my sister?"

Seeing Yun Yi's pitiful look, Lin Yue teased him on purpose, "Why should I plead for you? You're not even memorizing your vocabulary properly." Yun Yi was so anxious that he almost cried, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely do my homework properly from now on. Please help me."

Lin Yue smiled, feeling that it was about time, and said, "Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll help you this time. But if you don't study hard next time, I won't take care of you anymore." Upon hearing this, Yun Yi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, cousin, I will definitely change."

Lin Yue led Yun Yi downstairs, walked up to Yun Xiling, and said with a smile, "Sister Yun, Yun Yi knows he was wrong. He has memorized a lot of words today, so let him rest for a while."

Yun Xiling glanced at Yun Yi, then at Lin Yue, and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today. But you have to keep your word." Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly promised, "Sister, I definitely will." After saying that, he ran back to his room in a flash.

Seeing Yun Yi return to his room and lock the door, Lin Yue asked with some concern, "Aren't you worried he'll go back to his room and play games?" Yun Xiling smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, he won't be able to play games anymore."

"Finally, I can play games!" Yun Yi locked the door and turned on the computer.

However, when Yun Yi excitedly opened the game interface, something unexpected happened—the computer screen suddenly went black without warning, and then a line of shocking blood-red text appeared in the center of the screen like a ghost: "Addicted to games, neglecting your studies, you will be punished!"

This sudden turn of events terrified Yun Yi. His face turned deathly pale, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. His first thought was that the computer had malfunctioned, so he frantically tried to restart it.

However, when the computer restarted, the chilling red text continued to flash on the screen, as if mocking his naivety and ignorance. Yun Yi's heart pounded faster, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

Just as he was panicking and at a loss, his eyes inadvertently fell on a line of small print in the lower left corner of the computer. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a message left by his sister, Yun Xiling: "The computer will be turned on again after your high school entrance exam. Yun Xiling."

Yun Yi's anger flared instantly. He slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted towards the door, "Sister! You've gone too far!" Yun Xiling's cold reply came from outside the door: "Study hard and don't think about games. We'll talk about it after the high school entrance exam."

Yunyi stomped his feet in anger in his room, his heart filled with resentment and dissatisfaction towards his sister. What his sister was doing was practically robbing him of his freedom, preventing him from enjoying the game—it was too much!

However, just when he was feeling desperate, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—he could play games on his phone!

Thinking of this, Yun Yi felt a little better. He excitedly picked up his phone, ready to open the game.

However, just as he clicked the game icon, his phone screen suddenly went black, just like a computer screen, and the same line of blood-red text appeared.

Yun Yi's mood instantly plummeted. He slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon, unable to shed a tear.

Yun Yi clutched his head in despair, feeling both angry and anxious. Just as he was about to give up all hope, he suddenly remembered the spare tablet he had hidden under the bed. His eyes lit up, and he quickly crawled under the bed and pulled the tablet out.

His hands trembled as he opened the tablet, eagerly anticipating playing a game. However, the tablet screen, too, went black without warning, and the blood-red text reappeared. Yun Yi screamed in despair, "Sister, how could you be so selfish! Aaaaaaaahh ...

Just then, Yun Xiling's voice came from outside the door: "Don't waste your energy. I've restricted all the gaming devices in the house. Just give up on that idea." Yun Yi collapsed to the ground, knowing that he was completely out of options.
