Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[40] Reminiscing The Past [1]

Zhan Chen gulped down the last piece of sweets before he accepted the drink from Zhang Changming. He smiled at the older male and drank the sweet tea.

When he was eating sweets, he didn't feel thirsty, but now, he had drunk tea, he felt his throat kind of dry. He filled another cup of the sweet tea.

"It's really delicious! Thank you, Ming Ge!" Zhan Chen smiled brightly at the man in front of him. "My mother has been controlling my desserts. Ai, I'm really lucky today," he laughed cutely as he licked a bit of sugar left on his lower lip.

Zhang Changming's eyes followed that pink appendage until it was no more.

"Ming Ge?"

Zhang Changming lifted his face and saw Zhan Chen's innocent confused face. He coughed as he tried to cover his perverted thoughts.

"Ming Ge also should drink some tea," Zhan Chen offered the tea cup innocently at the older male.

"...Thanks, Xiao Tang ah," Zhang Changming said softly as he drank the tea. Ah, his Xiao Tang was so innocent...

Zhan Chen looked at the older male before his eyes fell on the forgotten box on the table. His eyes lit up as he reached his rabbit paws at the box. "Is this for me too, Ming Ge?"

Zhan Changming smiled and nodded his head, "I saw you're using it so I hope that Xiao Tang will like it. Personally, I think it really suits you."

Suit him? What's the thing that suit him, hn? This box is really small and kind of long. What could fit in there? Zhan Chen stared at the box, trying to figure it out before he huffed in vain. Better just opened the box! So, with utmost care, he pulled up the top-cover of the box and saw a beautiful purple butterfly hairpin.

It was so beautiful!

But, why must it be a hairpin?

Zhan Chen's big eyes pulled up from the gift and glanced towards the other male. He cocked his head to one side adorably, "it's really beautiful, Ming Ge. But, don't get me wrong. I like it but it's better if you give me a sword or something."

"...Well, you're a pretty ger right now. And I don't think sword will suit you." Imagined looking at those pretty, soft hands holding a heavy sword with that thin, frail body. No, Zhang Changming couldn't let his Xiao Tang hold something so heavy.

Zhan Chen: "......" Fish!!!

Even Zhang Changming was looking at him like some weak girl... no, not a girl, it was a ger. He glared at the older male. "Ming Ge, I might be a ger in this world but I was also a man before. I'm not that weak!"

He huffed angrily as he glared dagger at the older male.

Unfortunately, it didn't give an effect that Zhan Chen wanted. What Zhang Changing could see was an angry little rabbit with puffed cheeks. It wasn't threatening at all. Besides, the ger looked even more cuter when he got angry.

Zhang Changming finally smiled as he admitted at the still glaring little rabbit. "I understand. I'll teach you sword one of these days. Ming Ge will take this back," he said as he made to grab the hairpin.

Before he could take it back, Zhan Chen's paw was faster than his. The ger quickly took the box and held it against his chest. "This is mine! You've given it to me and you can't take it back!"

Zhang Changming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Really... This young ger, he should just say that he liked it. Despite all that, the young master of Zhang smiled softly and patted the ger's soft head.

"Okay, okay... Ming Ge won't take your gift. It's already yours."

Only after that, Zhan Chen calmed down. He stared at the pretty hairpin and giggled quietly. He had a new collection of hairpin now. Putting it to the side, he then realised that he had many things to ask this man in front of him.

"Ming Ge ah..."

"Mm?"

"When you were reborn as the baby, do you regained your past memories from the start?"

It had been the question that had been bugging Zhan Chen recently after meeting with the older male.

Zhan Changming, "actually, I didn't remember anything until I'm fifteen years old. At that time, I was having some dreams and the dream felt so real. I was dreaming of totally foreign world, I was in it but the me inside was an orphan..."

Zhan Chen listened as Zhang Changming explained when he regained his full memory from the past live. It seemed it was not that easy for Zhang Changming as well. Because of the dreams, he started to develop insomnia and his mental was affected. He sometimes was Zhang Changming, the son of Teacher Zhang and Madam Zhang. Sometimes, he reverted to the orphan Xu Ming.

At first, it was confusing to the man but after one dream where he was at his death bed... He finally realised that both Xu Ming and Zhang Changming were him. He had died as Xu Ming and reborn as Zhang Changming. He was quite miserable because he couldn't fulfil his promise to Zhan Chen and maybe that was the reason he got reborn and finally met with Zhan Chen again.

"I'm really thankful to God for giving me this second chance. Zhan Chen ah, Ming Ge wants to ask you..."

Zhan Chen, "Yes?"

Seeing the adorable ger in front of him, the last bout of fear finally left him. Zhang Changming asked, "are you happy here?"

"En, I'm happy," Zhan Chen nodded his head. He was an orphan before but now, he had a family; loving parents, caring grandfather, Ming Ge and Wei Dage.

But, what about the original Bai Zhan Chen? Where is him?

"Xiao Tang?"

Looking at the older male, Zhan Chen remembered the words Zhang Changming had said to him. Maybe, he shouldn't think much about this. He should just live and whatever should happen would happen later.

"Xiao Tang, are you okay?"

He smiled apologically at the man, "en, I'm fine, Ming Ge. Just thinking of stuffs and everything."

Zhang Changming could already guess what was in the young ger's mind. Zhan Chen was a good and kind person... being him, he must be worried about the original body. And to be honest, Zhang Changming also wondered, where was the original Bai Zhan Chen if Fu Zhan Chen was here?

Did he transmigrate somewhere or...

Zhang Changming glanced at the younger male. There was one possibility that had been bugging him. Perhaps, his Zhan Chen was not transmigrated over but reborn just like him...
