“Um… Well, I’ve applied the oilment by myself. Thank you for offering help anyway…” Gosh! His heart beat so fast when Zhao Yun just put his hand on Xia Mingyu’s leg. The young man’s fair skin instantly blushed. Zhao Yun felt amused and resigned, but he didn’t point it out. He knew that the young man was bashful so he had better not embarrass him.

He put his cold hand on Xia Mingyu’s back. Xia Mingyu couldn’t help shivering and raised his neck slightly, but soon he felt the warmth from his back. Where the hand moved, where he didn’t painful anymore. Xia Mingyu squinted comfortably, like a lazy cat, humming like a spoiled child, “Um… Um…”

“Do you feel good?” Zhao Yun smiled. Seeing that the young man nod without hesitation, he immediately gave up believed that he was uesless. Moreover, He felt that Xia Mingyu’s skin was so tender that he didn’t want to take his hand off Xia Mingyu anymore.

When he recalled that the young man handled his wound by himself before, Zhao Yun felt heartache suddenly and then made Xia Mingyu face him, saying unhappily, “You’ve been injured before. Why didn’t you voice it out?”

Xia Mingyu was somewhat guilty. He couldn’t help wondering why he felt guilty? He braced up and looked up at Zhao Yun, saying, “Why did I voice it out?”

The stubborn appearance of the young man made Zhao Yun feel even sadder. He raised his hand and rubbed Xia Mingyu’s head, saying in a soft voice, “Then at least tell me if anything happens in the future, okay?”

As Zhao Yun stoked his head gently, Xia Mingyu’s eyes were moist with tears. He didn’t feel real at all. If this was just a dream, what should he do? Xia Mingyu said sobbingly, “Can… can you not treat me so well?”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid that when I become sober, I’ll realize this is only a dream… And I am still in the tomb… Or in that dark room…”

The young man had no sense of security. With the wound, his fair skin was rather prominent. It’s like his broken heart. No matter how he covered it up, it had been hurt anyway.

Zhao Yun couldn’t help but cover Xia Mingyu’s wound, and then healed him regardless of Xia Mingyu’s stunned look. After a while, Zhao Yun hugged him tightly and comforted him, “Don’t be afraid. It won’t happen.”

“But…”

“Do you want to listen to a story? A story about me?” Zhao Yun pulled the sheet and covered himself and Xia Mingyu with the sheet. Xia Mingyu looked up at him for a long time and then finally agreed. Zhao Yun looked out of the window at the darkness outside and recalled what happened more a hundred years ago.  “As I recall, that year…”

He Nai was eating a chocolate sundae happily and found that  Zhao Yun was upstairs for a long time. She jabbed at Wangchuan with her elbow and stared at Wangchuan’s confused look, saying, “What is Brother Zhao doing? I thought he went to check on Mingyu. Why hasn’t he come downstairs yet?”

The eight-tailed cat spirit was asleep, lying on Wangchuan’s lap and enjoying Wangchuan service of stroking the belly thoughtfully. Now as He Nai yelled at Wangchuan, the latter naturally stopped stroking it. The eight-tailed cat spirit meowed unhappily and dragged Wangchuan’s hand back directly with its tail. At the same time, it glared at He Nai angrily.

He Nai was uncomfortable with the cat’s inexplicable hostility. Wangchuan hurriedly continued to pinch the cat spirit’s claws so that the latter stopped whining.

“Maybe Brother Zhao is resting. What’s up?” Wangchuan almost became the eight-tailed cat spirit’s exclusive servant, responsible for feeding the dried fish, rubbing its belly, pinching its claws and scratching its itch… To be honest, He Nai had never seen Wangchuan care for a pet to this extent. Neither did she met with a pet being spoiled to this extent…

“No, I’m just curious. I’m still considering buying some game machines for Mingyu…” He Nai took a bite of the sundae. Mu Feng looked at her and sneered, “Buy a game machine for Mingyu? Forget about it. You must want him to go shopping with you and also make Zhao Yun a model for you. Am I right?”

With her intention laid bare, He Nai shouted and gave a kick at him in anger. Mu Feng dodged and instead, he was kicked by Sun Yaxin. “Ouch! It hurts!”

Sun Yaxin stepped on Mu Feng’s chest barefoot, who looked like a king. “Finally, I’ve caught you! Hum, did you remember tickling me? I must beat you up!”

“Ouch! Please spare my life!” Mu Feng screamed and scratched Sun Yaxin’s sole of his foot with a sinister smile. The latter screamed and fell on the sofa. The two of them started to fight again. He Nai twitched her lips and sighed why her master made Sun Yaxin so crazy…

He Nai sat on the sofa in depression, eating the sundae and frowning in a trance. She should find a boyfriend some time, or no one would accompany her. In that case, she would be too bored and pitiful.

While she was ruminating, He Nai got a call. After seeing the name of the caller, she pulled a long face. Crap! She only wanted to have a boyfriend. Why was this scumbag calling her?

She hung up in depression and anger, turned off her phone and put it back into her purse. Then she continued to eat the sundae and watch the trendy drama. Alas, the stars were much more good-looking!

As night fell, the silver moon was like jade. Zhao Yun tucked the sleeping Xia Mingyu in. The young man was like a big cat, who was curling up. Zhao Yun just straightened him up. Then he turned around and continued to curl up again. Zhao Yun shook his head resignedly and touched Xia Mingyu’s head before leaving for his own room.

Zhao Yun had just left. The moonlight cast on the balcony outside. A red-hair young man suddenly showed up there, who was aloof, completely unlike the man he was in the daytime.

Sun Yaxin pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window without hindrance and walked in. After seeing the kylin pendant on Xia Mingyu’s neck sleeping on the bed, he sneered, walked to the bed, bent over and lifted the kylin pendant’s chain. He rubbed it a few times, put it down and then stroked the boy’s cheek. Instantly, he felt the warmth and tenderness of the skin.

Sun Yaxin was wearing a bluetooth headset in his ear. Now the lights flashed. It seemed that someone called.

“Hey, man, don’t worry. I’ve found him. Heh, I know. I’ve get the blood of Heavenly Soul as soon as possible.”

Sun Yaxin touched his pinna with his left hand. Shortly after that, he took a syringe from his pocket and then set Xia Mingyu right on his back. He raised Xia Mingyu’s clothes and then aimed the needle at the latter’s heart.

As the needle was stabbed mercilessly, the young man groaned with pain, who seemed to wake up soon. Sun Yaxin waved his hand and some white powder was spattered in front of Xia Mingyu. The young man only fluttered his eyelashes and didn’t wake up.

When the syringe was half filled with blood, a strip of blood stain appeared in the middle of the boy’s eyebrows. Sun Yaxin was rather confused and then saw Xia Mingyu suddenly open his eyes. His amber eyes suddenly turned dark purple and his face also looked demonic and bewitching.

“Soul Transmigration… You’re not an ordinary person…” The young man didn’t speak but his voice was like lingering around Sun Yaxin’s ears with an bewitching echo. Sun Yaxin smiled and raised his eyebrows. “Oh, you also know Soul Transmigration… Let me guess who you are.”

“You can’t guess, because…” Xia Mingyu smiled, paused deliberately, then said, “I’m him. He’s me. We’re one.”

Holding the syringe, Sun Ya Yan frowned and quickly snatched the syringe, which had been filled with Xia Mingyu’s heart. Xia Mingyu was not angry. With a faint smile, he stared at Sun Yaxin, lying on his back.

Sun Yaxin injected the blood into a transparent glass bottle and then carefully placed it into his pocket before turning around to look at Xia Mingyu. “What do you know?”

Xia Mingyu snorted. His purple eyes were not as clear as the previous amber pupils. Instead, they were somewhat darker. Looking at Sun Yaxin, he smiled. “Me? I know everything. Don’t worry. He doesn’t know about my existence. Literally, he knows nothing.”

Sun Yan temporarily guessed Xia Mingyu meant the self with the amber pupils by “him”. He couldn’t help wondering what was wrong with this young man. Multiple Personality Disorder?

To test Xia Mingyu, Sun Yaxin deliberately asked, “Oh, you know everything? Like what?”

Somehow, the boy in bed sat up, dangling his white feet, and said weirdly, “For example, who you are… and I, no, who we are, and what good we can do to you.”

Sun Yaxin’s eyes were full of surprise. “Since you know everything, why didn’t you run away?”

Xia Mingyu turned around slightly and looked at him calmly. “Run? I don’t think he wants to do this.”

“Why?”

“Oh, it seems that he wants to accompany that person.” Xia Mingyu looked at the door, and it was Zhao Yun’s room on the opposite side. Sun Yan understood, but he was still confused.” Why? Is Zhao Zilong that important to you? He is so important that you wouldn’t leave since you knew I would come?”

“Humph. Who knows?” “Xia Mingyu sneered and then looked at Sun Yaxin with a smile. ” Hey, King of Wu, if you don’t go back with the blood, your effort will be wasted. It’s fine by me, but if you’re late, someone can’t be resurrected.”

Sun Yaxin tutted and a look of surprise flashed across his face. He finally glanced at the young man on the bed, turned around and jumped down from the window. Xia Mingyu got out of the bed, walked barefoot to the balcony at ease. After making sure that Sun Yaxin had left, he gave a sinister smile.

“It’s okay now.” “When he touched the pinhole on his heart and then moved away, no injury was found then. Xia Mingyu looked down at his fair palm that was gleaming with dark purple light. He couldn’t help sneering with self-mockery. “Humph. Heavenly Soul…”

When he closed his eyes and opened them, his puils were amber again. The young man fell on the ground weakly and murmurer, with his eyes glistering, “It’s so weird. What happened just now?”

Xia Mingyu tilted his head and couldn’t figure out what had happened, so he only thought he was sleepwalking again. Anyway, this kind of thing happened a lot. He rubbed his sore shoulders, stood up, walked back to the bed and continued to sleep.
