Every Lifetime I Fall {COMPLETED but undergoing revisions}

Chapter 108: Fifth Life - Moving From Here On

I couldn't stop that demon from drinking tea every day at Xuehua. He just sits there and drinks tea slowly, becoming quite an eyesore.

"Ugh, can you look at that? A violent demon drinking tea as if he's a normal functioning person?" I ask Chuju.

She squints her eyes out to the patio.

"I think he looks really handsome," she replies. I quickly dart her a nasty look. "As the wind glides peacefully over his soft sky blue robes and brushes against his luscious hair, he looks like an Immortal Diety of everlasting beauty."

"Quiet, Chuju. Go tend to the customers inside!"

"Oh..."

She sheepishly drags her feet back inside while I continue watching the demon from the doorway.

The demon smiles as he takes a sip of his lavender snow tea.

Huh? How funny an ice cube drinking ice...

"If you can stop staring and come sit with me, I'll enjoy this cup of tea more."

"Ack! He's spotted me..."

Looking over to me, he calls, "Well? Come."

"Ha. Ha. Ha. I was just enjoying the fresh air. I have to return to my duties."

"I'm sure the men I've stationed here can manage."

"You think? They're completely barbaric, they have no sense of customer service."

"I think Chuju has been teaching them well. After all she's better at pleasing others than you."

"Pfft."

He stands from his chair, making his way to me. His icy hand lightly clings onto mine and pulls. I unwillingly sit across from him when we reach the wooden table.

"Just like old times," he says.

Disgusted, I ask, "What?"

"Rong Xin always served me tea and would stay until I finished drinking."

"I'm not your servant."

His silent gaze intimidates me. "You're not."

I look to the table, avoiding his eyes.

"Maybe you were at first, but... I'll never make the mistake of forgetting you again."

"Sure. However, it won't matter because I don't remember you. I'm not who you're looking for."

"You say that but I don't believe it."

"I've already explained this to Lord Wu. I can see ghosts and I've met Luo Na Li's spirit. She doesn't want to reincarnate after Rong Xin or whatever, she hates you and everyone, everything."

"When did you speak with Wu Jing?" Suspicion arises in his tone.

"Just... you know when he came by."

"He came by?"

"Yes. Why's that so important? Anyway it's a good idea for you to stop visiting Sect Leader Gao to talk about me. I'm not the reincarnation. I wish you could stop spying on me."

"Sect Leader Gao is a friend. I don't think you can prohibit me from visiting my friend."

I laugh, "Your friend? Do you even know what friendship is?"

"Rong Xin taught me to be a better friend to others around me."

"Huh.."

Can't believe Rong Xin was able to sway this demon somehow... Or is this all for show?
