Second Chance At Love | RuanLin | GuangJie

"Yes, he is alive!" The elder told Lin Qiushi while patting his back.

A sob escaped Quishi's mouth, which he had been holding back for so long. His body trembled in his father-in-law's arms and the elder understood how difficult it had been for the child all these 10 years.

In fact, both of Ruan's mother and father, stayed in touch with Lin Qiushi and his family for all the 10 years. Just because Qiushi had made them all promise that they wouldn't interfere in his life and let him live as he wished, no one said a word or tried to clear his name, even when he was caught in the whirpool of some horrible rumours.

Lin Qiushi has accumulated a huge fanbase for himself with over a 80 millions followers on weibo, and other social networking sites. These fans were so protective of their artist. They all collectively gave him the name of Xiao Mao which means Little Cat. One word against their Xiao Mao and all fans would go on rampage. And just like that, before completely vanishing from the entertainment industry, Qiushi in his last live told his fans,

"I don't care what the world says or what rumours they spread about me. As long as you believe me, I will definitely make myself strong again and come back for you all. Even though I am leaving now, it's not because I am guilty or I accept the rumours, it's because I am tired. And I know you all are tired as well. You all have been fighting for me against the world for so long. Now, let's leave it to fate, YOU and ME, let's both take some rest, live well, live happily and bless each other. I love you all and once again, I am so very sorry (deep bow.jpg)"

After that live, his fans had made sure to live good, comforting words along with blessings for his safety, wishing for him to return back to them safely.

Ruan's father led Qiushi to sit down on the couch and gave him some water. After drinking water and calming down, he looked up and asked only one question,

"WHY???"

The elder knew this was going to be a long day. But he was ready to come out true and tell Qiushi everything. After all, it hadn't been easy for both the families to keep this from him for so long. Finally, the day was here and sooner or later, they had to tell Qiushi about everything, so why not now?

He dialled a number and called his assistant in.

"Boss, you called?" The assistant, Xiao Wei, asked and looked in between his boss and the man sitting with his head down.

"Yes, cancel all my appointments, meeting and visits for today. If there is anything urgent at all, ask Chen Fei to go on my behalf or have a look. After all he is also going to assist the future CEO, he should start taking things seriously. Come to me, only if there is anything to be signed urgently and can't wait, okay? Ah, also, call my Boss Lady and tell her to send my lunch to office." Ruan's father signalled with his eyes towards Qiushi and the assistant understood.

"Alright, Boss. Will do it now." And Xiao Wei showed an okay sign in return.

"Qiushi, you asked me, why we kept from you that he is alive for all this while, right?" And the boy in front nodded wiping his eyes.

"The truth is always hard to accept and truth is so hurtful. As his last wish before he completely lost his consciousness, we all decided to follow it. But who knew, that once he woke up, he would forget everything, including..." Ruan's father stopped and Qiushi gazed at him, his eyes filling up with tears once more.

"Me?" He said the word after trying to say it for a minute and the elder nodded.

"Yes, he doesn't remember you or anything. He was in a coma for two years, and when he woke up, first thing he asked was, who we all were. He even forgot that we were his own parents who gave him birth. His attitude towards us changed. It took him a while to get used to us and finally after 6 months, he suddenly started feeling dizzy and he called us, Maa, Paa for the first time. As days passed he started confiding in us, talking to us. As he got to know about our business, he wanted to help me and so he studied Business Management and started to discuss stuff regarding the company matters and all about here with him on a regular basis. Suddenly, a month ago, the day after your birthday, he said, he wanted to come back home. And his mother and I, who were still thinking on how to ask him if he wanted to come home, felt relieved and immediately made arrangements." The elder told him and Qiushi could feel and understand everything.
