Luo XiaoLou rubbed his forehead. It was as if there were needles stabbing into his head, his body screaming out in pain. After a long time, the symptoms didn't subside, and he struggled to sit up. The room was white, the simplicity was excessive, and it was obvious that this was a bathroom. And definitely not his bathroom.

Why would he be here? The last thing he remembered was him going downstairs to get ready for his own engagement ceremony, taking a step, and then fainting.

Luo XiaoLou shuddered and quickly looked down; his body was naked. Instantly, Luo XiaoLou felt numb. Today was the day of his engagement and he had absolutely no intention, and dared not, to be unfaithful to his fiancée! Even when he was called a little white boy he didn't think otherwise — he couldn't be blamed, Josa was the daughter of a mob boss and it was hard for him to act like a macho man.

Luo XiaoLou felt guilty as he covered his unmentionables with his hand. He immediately felt a heart-piercing pain as he moved his right hand. Looking down, Luo XiaoLou was shocked, the bathwater at his side was blood red.

The source was his right wrist. 1

God, what was going on? He had never thought of killing himself!

Luo XiaoLou scrambled to his feet, one hand gently holding the wound. He had to stop the bleeding first, if it continued bleeding like this he would die. Luo XiaoLou's eyes widened in shock as he passed the oversized mirror, and the person reflected returned the same frightened look.

The young man in the mirror was about seventeen or eighteen years old and, as he had lost a lot of blood, his face looked a little pale. But he was still very handsome and had shoulder-length black hair that rested disheveled on his shoulders. He was quite good-looking, however, his pair of eyes were swollen and red. Obviously, he had cried, but it still gave off a kind of ravishing sexiness.

For Luo XiaoLou, who had always been said to be underprivileged, such looks were definitely another tragedy.

Luo XiaoLou stared listlessly into the mirror, and by now, he realized that he had been reborn; a rare second chance to live. But — the heavens must not play with him so! He was to be engaged today! He kinda liked that sweet and spicy girl! No one should be reborn on the happiest day of their life.

Luo XiaoLou felt his body begin to chill down. He couldn't look in the mirror any longer and ran towards the bathroom door to open it and leave. He had to call an ambulance! He had to live before he could think of a way to go back.

He kicked the door with his foot, but it didn't budge. Luo XiaoLou used his left hand too, but it still didn't open.

Damn it! The door must be locked! How determined was this body to commit suicide?

Luo XiaoLou was in a hurry, slapping the door with his hand and trying to raise his voice as loud as he could, "Hey! Help! Is there anyone out there? Help open the door! It'll be too late! Oh shit, I'm going to die..."

Luo XiaoLou slammed down to the floor, going bleary-eyed for a while before he tried to struggle back up. He turned back to look at the bathroom door that had suddenly snapped open automatically. What the hell was going on with the door?

The room outside was still simple, and he couldn't see any furniture other than a particularly clean and tidy bed, a bedside table, and a set of chairs of the same color scheme. Luo XiaoLou casually pulled off the bedspread and wrapped it around his waist, then spun around to look for a phone.
