Transmigrated as My Best Friend's Ex

124. I’ll Share Life and Death with Him

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Lie… You have to wake up now, Lie.” Li Qinghao gave Nancheng Lie’s blanket a gentle tug, trying to wake him up. Nancheng Lie stuck his head out from under the blanket, sleepy-eyed. An aggrieved look glinted in his eyes. He darted a glance at Li Qinghao and then quickly covered his head with the blanket.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“I’m too ashamed to face you.” Nancheng Lie’s plaintive voice came from under the blanket.

For a few seconds Li Qinghao was speechless. “Because of what happened last night?”

“Don’t you think it’s a serious problem?” Nancheng Lie suddenly sat up. “Xu, last night you didn’t have an erection, even when I was aroused to climax. Isn’t it a serious problem? People always say that male tend to obey their sexual impulse. But you gave no response to my passion! It proves that you don’t love me at all.”

Nancheng Lie was a playboy who changed his lover frequently, but now he complained of Li Qinghao’s indifference with an aggrieved look on his face. If his friends or the reporters heard what he said, they would be very surprised.

“We discussed this topic yesterday. It’s because this body is too young to…” Li Qinghao paused. ‘God! Why do I have to discuss this problem with him so early in the morning? I must have owed him in the previous life,’ Li Qinghao thought to himself.

Last night both of them were sexually excited. However, although Li Qinghao was aroused, he couldn’t get an erection.

It was for this reason that Nancheng Lie felt disappointed. Li Qinghao thought that this was not proof that he didn’t love Nancheng Lie. Although he was detached and not eager for sex, he could easily get an erection every time Nancheng Lie caressed his body. What happened to him last night was totally unexpected.

Li Qinghao guessed that it was because he was too young to have an erection.

“So, you like me?”  asked Nancheng Lie.

Li Qinghao replied, “Yes, of course.” He liked Nancheng Lie very much. To be more exact, he thought the world of Nancheng Lie.

“Alright.” Nancheng Lie was full to the brim with joy. He had felt the same way when when Li Qinghao had admitted that he liked him last night.

“Your eldest brother just called and asked you to go to the company this morning.” Li Qinghao was feeling a little depressed when he thought of the phone call from Nancheng Yunyu this morning. ‘I think he should phone Lie directly instead of asking me to pass on a message to Lie, but he said Lie would fake up one excuse after another to postpone going to the company if he phoned Lie directly. So, he assigned the task to me,’ Li Qinghao thought.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Nancheng Lie got out of bed, planning to go downstairs naked to wash up.

“Ah?” Li Qinghao was surprised. “I can’t believe that you agree so readily this time.”

Hearing this, Nancheng Lie, who was putting on his slippers, raised his head and gave Li Qinghao a smile. “It’s because I love you that I’m willing to do as you ask.”

Li Qinghao’s heart missed a beat. He flushed to the ears. This guy was really quite skilled in speaking sugared words.

…

“Are you sure you don’t want to go to the company with me? You’ll be bored at home alone.” Nancheng Lie tried to persuade Li Qinghao.

Li Qinghao smiled at Nancheng Lie and said, “The true reason why you want me to go to the company with you is that you’ll be bored in the company, am I right?” Li Qinghao knew clearly that he was indispensable to Nancheng Lie.

Since Li Qinghao had seen through his mind, Nancheng Lie admitted readily, “Yes, I can’t live without you for a second.” Anyway, he was not afraid of losing face in front of Xu.

“Don’t treat me as an 18-year-old girl.” Li Qinghao pulled the door open and pushed Nancheng Lie out of the apartment. “Be careful on your way to the company.”

Nancheng Lie was stunned for a second. What Li Qinghao said gave him a feeling of satisfaction. “I know you are now a 13-year-old boy. But I think both boys and girls enjoy honeyed words.” With a triumphant smile, Nancheng Lie walked into the elevator.

Leaning against the door, Li Qinghao looked at Nancheng Lie’s receding figure and gave a little chuckle. “Maybe I shouldn’t indulge him.”

Li Qinghao was lazy. In the past when he was Han Mingxu, he spent most of his time reading or sleeping. Sometimes he earned himself a little pocket money by speculating on the stock market. He was a talented investor. He earned a lot of money on the stock market. He was very self-controlled and didn’t indulge himself with the stock speculation. So, every time he earned a big sum of money, he invested directly in long-term projects. Then he would stay away from the stock market in the next few months. Nancheng Lie was totally unaware of all this. He didn’t know that Han Mingxu was a financial wizard.

Li Qinghao had become more and more interested in medicine since he had been injected with TRKS. A few years ago he had decided to study medicine on the spur of the moment, but from now on the study of medicine would become the number two priority in his life next to Nancheng Lie.

He didn’t know if there would be any other sequelae, but anyway, he shouldn’t sit passively for his end. So he decided to continue his studies.

However, he couldn’t go back to Nancheng College, because he now looked much younger than his actual age. Li Qinghao knew clearly that only Nancheng College could compare with some well-known foreign universities in terms of medical equipment and laboratory apparatus. If he didn’t go to Nancheng College, he could only go abroad. If Li Qinghao decided to study abroad, Nancheng Lie would surely put everything aside and go abroad with Li.

What was more… Tenderness showed in Li Qinghao’s eyes. He didn’t want to leave Nancheng Lie, too.

Li Qinghao’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that he couldn’t bear to leave Nancheng Lie. That man had become indispensable to him before he knew it.

To be more exact, he had subconsciously regarded Nancheng Lie as the most indispensable person to him a long time ago, although he didn’t realize it until now.

Li Qinghao chuckled. After sorting out his feelings towards Nancheng Lie, he felt bright and cheerful. ‘Now I’m unencumbered and footloose. Keqi is in the good graces of the Han family. Actually, he deserves it. I believe that Keqi will be grateful to the Han family. Such being the case, I’ll always be with Nancheng Lie. In the future, we’ll get married and live to a ripe old age in conjugal bliss,’ Li Qinghao thought to himself.

He was a simple man. Yes or no, everything seemed simple to him.

Li Qinghao took out his cell phone and called Nancheng Yunsen. “Hi, bro, I want you to do me a favor.” He had often visited the Nancheng family as a child. They were like his family, so there was no need to stand on ceremony. Furthermore, Nancheng Yunsen was a frank and open man. Li Qinghao didn’t feel the need to mouth some polite, stilted remarks.

After all, it was totally unnecessary to stand on ceremony when you talked to your family.

“I want to continue my studies. Medical College of Polytechnic University is a good choice for me, but I’m afraid that Polytechnic University won’t enrol me.”

Nancheng Yunsen immediately understood what Li Qinghao meant. “I got it. I’ll call the dean of Medical College of Polytechnic University.” Every year many students of Polytechnic University came to his hospital for an internship, so the dean of Medical College of Polytechnic University owed him a lot. Nancheng Yunsen was sure that the dean wouldn’t refuse his request. “But Xu, you need a new name. you can’t go to Polytechnic University in the name of Han Mingxu or Li Qinghao. In other words, you need a new identity. What about being my cousin?” If his surname was Nancheng, it could bring many benefits to him.

“I don’t want to change my surname.” Li Qingahao turned down Nancheng Yunsen’s offer. “After all, I owe Li Qinghao a life.” The only thing he could do for Li Qinghao was treat Mr. Li and Mrs. Li with filial respect. He was a man with a conscience and knew what was gratefulness.

“All right, by the way, Xu…” Nancheng Yunsen said in a serious tone.

“Uh-huh?”

“I wanna say something to you. Er, I’ve known you since you were a baby. In other words, I know you pretty well. Xu, you are like a younger brother to me. If Lie forces you to do anything you don’t want to do, you can refuse him.”

Nancheng Yunsen expressed his thoughts in a euphemistic way. Li Qinghao smiled and said, “Bro, I guess you want to ask about my true feelings towards Lie, right?”

“Xu, you…”

“Bro, just as you said, you’ve known me since I was a kid. Surely you know me very well. Now you must be puzzled as to why I suddenly change my attitude toward Lie. In the past I thought of him only as a brother, but now… To be honest, when I was Han Mingxu, I enjoyed his company and felt confident that I was the most important person in his life, even more important than his family. So…” Li Qinghao paused and gave a sigh. “So I overlooked a lot of things. I didn’t even realize that he was the most important person to me, too.”

Li Qinghao said the last sentence in an almost inaudible voice, but Nancheng Yunsen heard it. He gave a smile of satisfaction. “So?”

“So, I decide to spend the rest of my life with him.” This was a solemn promise.

Love might disappear one day, but he would be with Nancheng Lie forever.

“There will be a lot of difficulties in front of you if you decide to be with Lie.” Nancheng Yunsen reminded him.

“I didn’t expect you to say that, bro.” Homosexuality was not generally accepted, but Li Qinghao and Nancheng Lie were not at all afraid of rumors.

“Xu, none of my family looks down upon homosexuals. We really don’t care much about the family’s reputation.” Nancheng Yunsen gave Li Qinghao a gentle hint. “There are some things that you should know, but not now. You have to know that your life could be in danger at any time if you decided to be with Lie.”

LD was a large organization with a complex background. It was impossible that Nancheng Yunyu would hand it over to an outsider. So, Nancheng Lie would be the best possibility to inherit LD organization. If Nancheng Lie became the new head of the organization, Xu as his partner would sooner or later be known to the organization’s enemies.

Nancheng Yunsen frowned with worry. But soon he stopped frowning, because Li Qinghao’s next remark freed his mind of apprehensions.

Li Qinghao said, ” I’ll share life and death with him.”

He feared no death, let alone difficulties.
