Li Lianhua never thought how he would end his journey one day... But what he never expected was to be reborn in the modern world with snipets of the past that come to haunt him in his dreams. Fang Duobing is the Top Model for Di Feisheg's company. D...
"Xiangyi.... stop calling me Mr. and my whole name... call me AFei as you used to...."
"That was a different lifetime. The times have changed. You and I both have to accept that."
"I don't accept that. Xiangyi, last lifetime, and this lifetime, both I'm still older than you. Last time I couldn't keep you, but this time you won't escape. Trust me, I already am tracking you...."
"What?! What the hell? You know I can sue you for that.. right?"
"Aaahhh relax Xiangyi... You are not gonna do such a thing. As a matter of fact, you will listen to me and be with me forever this time...."
"You are delusional!!!"
"Oh... really? But your assistant... said something else..."
"What? When did you talk to my assistant? She works for me."
"Yeah, yeah... so she told me as well. It doesn't matter. Forget it. How was the trip? And how is Mrs. Fang?"
"Is this also one of your effed up plans? Mrs. Fang is innocent."
"I know that. What are you thinking? I don't know what you are on about, but I was just showing concern as a common courtesy."
Li Lianhua sighed. "Let me get to the point.... Do you.. Do you think XiaoBao has a crush on me?"
"Wasn't it obvious last life?"
"I dunno. I see him as a baby brother... My junior... A master's son..."
"Well, then you need to tell that to him. I just want him to be around you because..."
"Yeah, I figured it out. He's watching me, not I'm watching him."
Di Feisheng laughed heartily at this. "Oh, Xiangyi, you are kind of cute."
"Shut up! You pissed me enough for one day."
"I'm not done. It's just the beginning.."
"Why do you really want me around?"
"You really don't get it?"
"No. That's why I'm asking..."
"I like you..."
"What?!!... You like me... as in.. how?"
"Listen.... our understanding and connection are way more mature than anyone else. You know what I mean.... I don't have to spoon feed it to you. I never thought when we started our rival all those lifetimes ago that it was actually because I liked you... and I found my soulmate in you..."
Is this guy confessing? Is he nuts? Li Lianhua was thinking how to respond to that... In a way... Di Feisheng was not a friend to him. Yes, he found a partner for life, but he is more than that. He is someone Li Lianhua couldn't describe with words.
"Are you there? Hello...?"
"Yeah... yeah... I'm here. I... I just don't know how to respond or what to say to that..."
"Then don't. I don't want you to say anything. Just staying will be more than enough."
"Okay.. I will see. I've gotta go. They must be looking for me. I'll let you know when we are heading back."
"You know how to reject XiaoBao, but don't hurt his feelings. He has been infatuated with you since another lifetime.. take care. Good night. "
"I can never hurt him... night."
With that, Li Lianhua fell into a deep thought... what was going to happen? So Di Feisheng liked him? He knew that there would be serious consequences the moment they shared the bridal wine. But both of them ignored it and bonded even deeper than before. Hopefully, nothing gets complicated. He didn't want any drama in his life...
He started slowly walking towards the mansion. It was very silent when he entered the house. Maybe everyone had already gone to sleep. Whichever it was, he didn't want to disturb anyone.
He silently walked around. At the hallway of the paintings, he paused. And he stared at his portrait. How many humans would get to experience such a phenomenon?!?!... Only in fiction novels and movies he had heard such coincidences.... Well, he's living in one now... He smiled to himself and went in the direction of the kitchen. He took a bottle of water from the fridge and started gulping it down. Suddenly, XiaoBao was standing at the doorway.
"Where did you goooo?"
"I had to phone Di Feisheng.."
"What does Di Dumb Face want?"
"Oh, just details..."
"Okay... Can I ask you something?"
"Sure...." Li Lianhua was already dreading what he might ask... But let him shoot first, and then he will take care of the rest...
"So... Do you have someone special..? Like that you like like?"
"Like in love?"
"Yeah... yeah.. like that, maybe.."
Li Lianhua thought of AFei.... it can't be called love. What he feels for him goes deeper than love....
"Maybe.. but it can not be called love, I guess.."
XiaoBao looked very deflated at this..."You rejected being with me last life because you were dying... What excuse do you have now?"
"I have none. The only thing I can tell you is that... I still care for you and love you... like a little brother. You are my junior after all... I will always take care of you and protect you."
"That's not enough. This time, I want you to like me, like, I like you...."
"That's gonna be hard. You are still not mature enough. Plus, your mom is looking for brides... I can do a background check on someone you prefer and confirm for you to start dating..."
XiaoBao looked red in the face... he was frustrated and angry.... "I will somehow have you stay with me forever. You shall see..." With that, he stormed out and went, God knows where....
Li Lianhua sighed again... He was still not interested in XiaoBao even after one lifetime later. He was not his type at all. He had to think of ways to stop him. But he had to be very careful. XiaoBao can be impulsive and stubborn....
He went to sleep after that rodeo... Li Lianhua realised that his life was once again had become very busy. It's taking a lot of mental capacity to survive daily...
Struggle is Real!
The following day was luckily uneventful. XiaoBao was happy once again, and his mom kept him with her whole day. This gave freedom to Li Lianhua to do some of his work and have meals without interruptions...
Sunday evening, it was time to go back. They were at the airport by 6 pm. After they boarded the plane as usual, they got the same seats next to each other. Since it was night flight, XiaoBao slept the whole time.
When they got back to the condos, they were already tired. So they retreated to their respective homes and slept the night away. The sleep was blissful....
