Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (12)

Chapter 12 : Coming-of-age Gift
However, Xia Lin knew that in his previous life, Song Yan had not been able to give himself a coming-of-age gift as he had hoped.

It was because a month before his eighteenth birthday, he had met Yu Luotong unexpectedly, and a nice straight man had bent his own head just like that.

Xia Lin wondered countless times whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that God had given him a chance to be reborn, allowing him to return to the turning point of three people’s destiny and act as a spectator in other people’s love again.

“Knock, knock.” At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.

Xia Lin opened the door and it was Zhou Shuo who came.

“I’m here to send the room card to Young Master Song.” Zhou Shuo handed over the original room card for this room.

Without waiting for Xia Lin to say anything, Song Yan already stood behind him and took the room card, saying, “Thanks, ah.”

It was as if Xia Lin was the outsider.

Zhou Shuo nodded at the two of them and was just turning to leave when Xia Lin called out to him, “Wait a minute, I have something to tell you.”

Zhou Shuo then stopped in his tracks.

Inside the door, Song Yan was curious and tried to follow him out, but Xia Lin closed the door first.

Song Yan who had eaten a closed door, rubbed his nose in boredom and turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Xia Lin took Zhou Shuo a few steps away to make sure that Song Yan could not hear him before he said to Zhou Shuo, “From now on, don’t just listen to Song Yan anymore.”

Zhou Shuo was stunned and asked off-handedly, “Why?”

Xia Lin looked at Zhou Shuo’s youthful and tender face. This boy was even younger than he was, and he is afraid that his understanding of many things was still at the stage of ignorance and obscurity.

He did not know how to explain to such a Zhou Shuo, so he could only say casually and perfunctorily, “There is no reason, I am your master, of course you have to listen to me, and only to me. Without my permission, no one can order you around, remember?”

“Oh.” Zhou Shuo replied dumbly, then looked at Xia Lin and wanted to say something.

Xia Lin: “Just say whatever you want to say.”

“Young Master, are you and Young Master Song…having a fight?

“No.”

“But I don’t feel like you’re treating him as well as you used to.” Zhou Shuo was quite persistent.

“What,” Xia Lin raised an eyebrow at him, “Is this you fighting for an outsider?”

“No, I just feel ……” Zhou Shuo frowned bitterly, as if searching for the right wording, “In the past, you and Young Master Song were so close that you couldn’t tell each other apart, so I felt like you both were like my masters. But lately, you don’t seem to like Young Master Song as much, and you’re not as happy as you used to be.”

Zhou Shuo was not good with words, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xia Lin was worried.

Xia Lin had trusted Zhou Shuo in his previous life and still relied on him in this life, hearing his words, he was somewhat touched as he stroked the top of his hair, “There is no need to worry about me…I am about to choose a whole new path in life and I am sure I will soon be happy again.”

Zhou Shuo looked at him and nodded his head as if he understood.

After sending Zhou Shuo away, Xia Lin had just entered the room when he saw Song Yan naked. He came out of the bathroom naked, without even a cloth to cover his body.

“What are you talking about, so secretive.” Song Yan didn’t treat him as an outsider at all, and while getting dressed, he was still grumbling about the closed door he had received earlier.

Although he was not yet eighteen, Song Yan already exuded a charm that was hard for a boy of his age to match. Moreover, compared to ten years from now, he was now a little less gloomy about not being able to ask for anything. His body was overflowing with the youthful energy of a teenager who did not know what to do with his worries.

Xia Lin was in love with this kind of Song Yan from the bottom of his heart.

But he quickly closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, everything would be ruined again.

He had repeatedly warned himself that since he had decided to part ways with Song Yan, he should not hesitate and should not waver.

He even wished that in this life, Song Yan and Yu Luotong would soon be reunited, while he and Song Yan would each be well and never see each other again.
