Chapter
1
Ling
Xia clutched his chest as he suddenly opened his eyes. His mouth was tremblingly
inhaling large gulps of air. The pain in his stomach from that time had already
passed.
He
stared at the familiar yellowish color of his ceiling. Don't tell me that I died
again and came back? Did I die because I lost too much blood? What about Yu Zhi
Jue?
He
put his slippers on but didn't change his clothes,then jumped on top of his bed
barefoot and rushed to his computer. He turned it on and waited in front of the
continuous circulating loading logo for about ten seconds, furiously tapping
his fingers on the table.
Why
did he come back again during such a crucial time!? If Yu Zhi Jue died, he Will
definitely crawl through the author's computer screen and scare him till he
wets his pants!
He
opened the browser in a hurry, then Ling Xia clicked on one of his bookmarks,
but as he opened it
-----
Webpage not found!
Ling
Xia cursed, had the website been removed? He tried other browsers but it was
futile.
He
then searched the author's blog, only to find the author's last post, leaving
only eight big words.
TIRED
AND NOT FEELING THE LOVE, BYE-BYE WORLD!
The
following post were the contents from the novel he knows so well, but to his
surprise the book was not the one he remembered and was instead a fake book!!!!!
Ling
Xia spurted out a great mouthful of blood, are you kidding me?
He
furiously pulled his hair. How did it come to this? Could it be that the author
applied for the removal? The website's forum suddenly flashed in his mind and checked
it without delay. The clues he was desperately looking for could not be found,
so he tried looking at reader's section.
As
expected, the forum had an astonishing amount of ten pages of topics to rummage
through, and the titles were.
---'Opinions
on the jj's really poisonous 'spinach and chicken egg soup' cover up and disappearance,
what the fuck!'
---'Rotten
author writes a melodramatic and heartbreaking drama to indulge himself?!'
That's
right, 'spinach and chicken egg soup' is exactly the pen name of the author.
The corner of Ling Xia's mouth twitched. Now that the plot finally changed the author
suddenly left everyone hanging?!
Ling
Xia quickly opened the post. Inside were rows of
common crying-out-comments.
common crying-out-comments.
--Boo
hoo, we got cliffhanged by the author, maybe he's outside the country and
hasn't come back yet to update?
--Great
author please come back quickly! *Kisses from your fan!
T/N:
- If anyone can give me a great translation
of
this that would be great-.
----Sob,
sob, sob, do Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu not have a happy ending? Why is Xiao Hu left
all alone? Why is Xiao Yu always thinking about that insignificant cannon
fodder? If only he'd finally look back, he would find Xiao Hu still waiting for
him at the same place! That white-lotus-like mistress is annoying!
---What
the fuck!" Ling Xia cursed out loud when he read this comment. So, they're
saying that the current plot progressed and Song Xiao Hu was left on his own?
How did it come to that?!
He
limply leaned forward on his computer table and stayed motionless, until his
cellphone started ringing. He pressed the answer button, and the usually controlled
and low voice of his department senior Li rung out:
"Where
the hell are you? The meeting's about to start! Today the new boss Will take
office so you can't be I ate!"
Ling
Xia, Who was distraught with anxiety, reluctantly cheered himself up and
replied.
"En,
l'm on my way to work. l'll be there shortly."
He
hovered his mouse pointer to the lower right area of the monitor. As expected,
he remembered correctly and it was only the day after the night he left.
And
so, Ling Xia went to his workplace on an empty stomach. The meeting had already
started for half an hour. The newly appointed department manager was currently
operating the projector while giving a speech.
Ling
Xia gave an apologetic smile as he silently sat on one of the provided chairs,
his mind still wandering. He did not notice that the new boss kept looking at him
multiple times.
Ling
Xia was as if in a trance all day long and he didn't know what to do. By the
time that the office hours were over, the new boss was suddenly standing before
him and said
"Hey,
schoolmate, do you still remember me?"
Ling
Xia is somewhat astonished and cautiously examined the other person. He was
well dressed and had a confident, elite appearance. However, he did not really
seem familiar. He apologetically replied.
"It's
embarrassing, I totally can't remember."
The
other person did not mind it too much and solemnly introduced himself, as well
as his college major. Ling Xia recalled a faint memory.
The
new boss's name was Ping Min Chang. He was two years older than him and also
his school senior.
When
he just entered the university, he was guided by the other person to the
dormitories.
However,
he kept a low profile at College. He did not participate in many activities.
Therefore, he was really not familiar with this out-going person.
The
other person invited him out for a meal. Ling Xia was not really in the mood,
so he reluctantly smiled and said :
"Maybe
some other time, Manager Ping... l'm sorry for the inconvenience. l'm feeling a
bit unwell right now so Ild like to go home early."
Ping
Min Chang was not at all arrogant and said at once:
"No
wonder you look a bit dispirited, l'll drive you back
to
your home
---don't
call me manager, it's better to call me 'ge' in private."
Ling
Xia felt a bit (T/N: CN emoticon for DX emoticon) and quickly shook his hand in
refusal.
He
gave a tiny smile and said:
“I’ll
just take subway to get home then walk the rest of the way”.
Ping
Min Chang was a little disappointed. He reluctantly backed down, and simply
smiled and said:
"That's
good then. l'll invite you out to a meal soon in that case."
Half
a month passed by in a haze and Ling Xia became more and more nervous.
It
went without saying that his job was very dull and simple, as the busy and faintly
gloomy days passed by. Right now, he was just fine. His former senior was supposedly
watching over him. His workload suddenly lightened, due to Ping Min Chang being
very skilled.
Every
time they had a meal, he never had to pay for it, making him feel uneasy.
When
the evening arrived, Ling Xia lay down on his bed and frequently suffered from
insomnia. The emptiness he felt was not the same as when he first came back as
the memories became more real and distinct than the current seemingly real
world.
He
found the everyday busy work tolerable. But as the night arrived, he would
think of Yu Zi Jue, Song Xiao Hu, Ah Li, and also his mask wearing master...
But
without a doubt, Yu Zhi Jue filled his mind the most.
When
they separated before, Yu Zhi Jue words and his heartbroken and obstinate
expression made his stomach twist terribly.
...He
promised to absolutely stay with him and never leave him...
Ling
Xia pulled the blanket over his head, filled with unease.
The
first time he came back, he could easily say that he could return again if he
prayed for it. But this time, the moment for him to transmigrate would never come!
Yu Zhi Jue would find out he died and would definitely end the world... Wipe it
clean and become a tyrannous villain!
Every
night before he closed his eyes he wished to transmigrate again, but he was
disappointed in the end.
It
would soon be two months since Ling Xia started losing weight and living as a
shut in. He was not eating properly or regularly and his complexion was very
pale. He kept making the same mistakes at work.
That
novel was already in definite hiatus.... He didn't know if he could ever transmigrate
again. Arriving at this conclusion, Ling Xia's stomach twisted in pain.
What
was he going to do from now on? Would he continue to spend his remaining life
in depression?
He
put in a request for leave at work to recuperate and wanted to use this time to
go out there and mend his broken heart. Ping Min Chang was worried about him and
allowed it. He ordered him to go back home and take a good rest.
Ling
Xia was carrying a mountain backpack on his back and was touring around china's
popular mountains. He went to the temple and just imitated and followed the tourists,
devoutly kow-towing and lighting an incense, praying to the gods and buddhas to
grant him a blessing, to be able to transmigrate again. But the miracle never
arrived.
However,
the state of his mind had stabilized. Ling Xia desperately buried the memories
deep in his mind, painstakingly not touching it. The days had finally resumed
their monotonous tranquility.
That
afternoon Ping Min Chang invited him to an exceptional and quiet western
restaurant. Ling Xia was aware, that this was an expensive restaurant.
He
hurried and, looking straight into Ping Min Chang's eyes, replied earnestly:
"Senior,
please let me invite you this time."
Ping
Min Chang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"Ok."
Once
inside the restaurant, Ling Xia let Ping Min
Chang order. Ping Min Chang ordered beer and also some of the restaurants specialties. The two of them talked about their college days, as well as their past relationships. Halfway through their meal, Ping Min Chang suddenly held Ling Xia's hand and quietly observed it: "Ling Xia, I find your hands attractive."

Halfway through their meal, Ping Min Chang suddenly held Ling Xia's hand and quietly observed it: "Ling Xia, I find your hands attractive."
Ling
Xia worked as a programmer all year long, and he played the piano during his
childhood. His fingers were evenly slender, better looking than the average man's.
He uneasily drew back his hand. He felt that
Ping Min Chang's actions were somewhat odd. He squeezed out a reluctant smile:
Ping Min Chang's actions were somewhat odd. He squeezed out a reluctant smile:
"l'm
actually jealous of those basketball player's hands of yours. I can't grab
well."
T/
N: Ling Xia's talking about the balls. Uhh, that
sounded
wrong..
Ping
Min Chang immediately laughed: "Well I can, do you like playing (basket)ball?
Then let's set a match one of these days.
After
finishing the food, Ping Min Chang insisted on sending Ling Xia back home. Ling
Xia was unable to decline and took a seat in the car. But as they arrived at
the outskirts of his neighborhood and Ling Xia
wanted to get out of the car, Ping Min Chang suddenly held his shoulder and unexpectedly kissed him!

Ling
Xia quivered and shoved him away with a vicious expression as he wiped his
lips. The manager couldn't possibly be gay? He hurriedly opened the door and jumped
out of the car. He restrained his anger and spoke:
"l'm
sorry, Manager Ping. I don't like men."
He
composedly rolled down the car window, waved his hand and said with a smile:
"For
now you don't. See you tomorrow."
He
watched as the Audi abruptly drove away, Ling Xia was disgusted and cursed out.
'For now' your sister!
Isn't
the great me a proper straight man? He shut the entrance door of his house,
then lay on his bed after washing his face. Should he still go to work after
this?
---Because
of his troubles with Ping Min Chang, he couldn't help but think of Yu Zhi Jue
once again.
The
young man's passionate but inexperienced kisses at night, the scent of his...
Ling Xia's face unconsciously burned up. He could vividly remember that feeling
as he closed his eyes...
Stop
it! Stop it! How could he thirst for his younger brother and fantasize about
him?
He
got up weakly then turned on his computer to search the internet for a
tantalizing and passionate movie that is known and praised. When he finally found
one, he played it on low volume and placed a roll of toilet paper at the side
of the table. Everything was prepared.
But
when the movie started playing, Ling Xia was startled and almost flipped the
table
---
On the screen were two naked and fully exposed bodies entangled with each
other. Aren't these two clearly both men?
He
wanted to hurry and close the video, but he accidentally clicked the full
screen. The picture focused on a flushed face and then loud moans could be
heard.
"Husband
harder En so good”
Ling
Xia's hand trembled, he immediately whacked the computer screen, turning it
off. How could you still call that a man?
But
instead of feeling disgusted, he actually started feeling good?!?
Sigh,
it's really bad luck to have watched this kind of porn! Ling Xia listlessly went
back to his bed to sleep, and only after rolling around for a long time did he finally
fall asleep.
He
woke up the next day, freezing. The chilling air seeped into the very marrow of
his bones and Ling Xia shivered uncontrollably. As he forced himself to open his
eyes a white snowy world entered his vision. He dumbly bowed his head only to
find that he was lying inside a crystal ice coffin. The clothes he was wearing
were neat but definitely not from of his world.
Did
he transmigrate back into a preserved corpse...? Ling Xia felt ecstatic and was
smiling from ear to ear. Could it really be that he successfully transmigrated?
