Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (125)
That evening, when Ke Mei called, Song Yan was sitting at the dining table, eagerly waiting for Xia Lin to serve food.
“What are you doing?” Ke Mei asked.
“Looking at Xia Lin cooking.”
Ke Mei teased, “Can you not show affection in front of single dogs?”
“Are you a single dog?” Song Yan asked back, “I heard Du Lanze say that you have a sentinel.”
“Can’t you get divorced?”
Song Yan closed his mouth with interest.
“Let’s talk about business,” Ke Mei said, “Tomorrow is Friday, have you forgotten?”
“How could I forget.”
Song Yan’s voice went low and the rare good mood was gone.
“If you don’t want to involve Xia Lin, arrange him yourself.” Ke Mei paused, “Also, remember to take the pill Du Lanze gave you before. ”
“Speaking of Du Lanze,” Song Yan said, “Actually, I always wanted to ask, is he reliable? Can I eat what he gave me?”
Ke Mei chuckles: “Du Lanze is usually a little confused but he is serious about this matter. The pill he gave you is anti-gene mapping.”
Song Yan frowned: “What is gene mapping?”
“When two planes collide, the high plane will assimilate the organisms on the low plane.”
“You mean people who are genetically mapped will become Du Lanze’s kind?”
(Du Lanze’s kind = ABO)
“In theory, there is such a possibility. Of course, the probability of this happening is not high but it is better to prevent this than do nothing. ”
“What are the symptoms if you are genetically mapped?”
“Other symptoms are not obvious but you can see things on that plane at that moment.”
At this time, Xia Lin served a bowl of vegetable soup.
Seeing Song Yan holding his mobile phone, he casually asked, “Who are you talking to?”
“Ke Mei.” Song Yan answered honestly.
Xia Lin glanced at him and did not ask anymore. He went back to the kitchen.
“Hey, your wife is strict. You have to report even when you make a phone call. I’ll hang up.” Ke Mei said and hung up the phone neatly.
Song Yan put the phone away and took out a small box with Du Lanze’s pill.
He used to envy the ABO people. As long as an Alpha puts a mark on his beloved Omega, he doesn’t have to worry about his Omega cheating.
But he just thinks about this kind of thing. Xia Lin is not an Omega and it is impossible to give him a heartbreak just because of a mark.
Thinking of this, Song Yan laughed self-deprecatingly and threw the pill into the vegetable soup, watching it gradually melt and disappear.
After dinner, Xia Lin washed the dishes and walked out. He saw Song Yan sitting on the balcony alone, watching the night sky quietly.
Xia Lin walked behind him, looked up, and asked, “There are no stars and moon, what are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at… things that we can’t see with the naked eye.” Song Yan muttered.
Xia Lin lay down on the recliner beside him, raised his arm, and put it under the back of his head. The two were silent for a moment.
Song Yan then asked, “Tomorrow Friday, will your school have classes?”
Xia Lin thought for a while and said, “There are two classes in the morning and no class in the afternoon.”
Song Yan took out two movie tickets from his pocket and handed them to Xia Lin: “I originally wanted to watch “Superman” with you but I have something to do tomorrow. You can find a friend to go with you.”
Xia Lin didn’t answer but just asked him: “What time?”
“Tomorrow afternoon, 1:30 to 3:30.”
It turned out that it was at this time. Xia Lin lowered his eyes silently.
After a while, Xia Lin asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
“I have to do an important experiment.” Song Yan said vaguely.
“It’s been so many days, why didn’t I see your experimental equipment brought over?”
Song Yan didn’t expect Xia Lin to remember this and explained, “The equipment is not placed here but somewhere else.”
Xia Lin looked at him for a while before saying: “Your experiment is so big. I don’t understand it anyway, you can make it up.”
Song Yan was speechless for a while.
Xia Lin asked again: “That experiment… is more important than me?”
Song Yan glanced at Xia Lin. Xia Lin wasn’t someone who would make trouble with such trivial matters. He would ask in such a reluctant way, for fear that he had already noticed it. After a moment of silence, Song Yan hardened his heart.
“Not as important as you but… it’s more important than watching a movie with you.”
“I don’t want to watch unrealistic heroism movies.”
Xia Lin got up and wanted to leave.
“Xia Lin.”
Song Yan leaned forward and held Xia Lin’s hand, with a hint of pleading in his tone. Xia Lin turned his face slightly. His facial features were hidden in the shadows and he couldn’t see his expression clearly.
After a while, Xia Lin pulled out the movie ticket from his hand and sighed in compromise: “Okay, you let me go. I’ll go watch it.”
Song Yan tightened his nerves slightly, patted the recliner, and motioned for Xia Lin to accompany him for a while. The two looked at the night sky in silence for a while.
Xia Lin: “The universe is so big but it just can’t accommodate the two of us.”
Song Yan’s heart felt suffocated. Immense sadness surged out, almost drowning him, but he didn’t let Xia Lin see it.
He pressed his fingers firmly on the arm of the wheelchair and pressed his lips without speaking.
Xia Lin got up and said, “I’m tired so I’ll go to bed first.”
Song Yan was about to say goodnight to him when Xia Lin had bowed his head and gave him a goodnight kiss.
Xia Lin would kiss him every day in the past few days as if it had become a ritual. Song Yan didn’t understand why Xia Lin was obsessed with kissing but never took it any further. Because of his disability and inferiority complex, he could only taste it and not force it.
However, that night, after a short kiss, Xia Lin leaned into his ear and asked, “Do you know why I don’t do it with you every time?
Song Yan was startled and looked at him with a puzzled face.
“If a person achieves all of his wishes, he is often not far from his time of death. Therefore, I can’t do what you want.”
After Xia Lin finished speaking, he entered the room without looking back.
Song Yan stared at Xia Lin’s back in shock and uncertainty. He’s almost sure that Xia Lin had guessed what is happening but just cooperated with him to whitewash the peace.
