Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (64)
Xia Lin helped Song Yan complete the discharge procedures and then used Song Yan’s car and drove him out of the hospital.
“Where is your home?” Xia Lin said, “Tell me your address so I can navigate.”
Song Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, just looked out of the car window in a daze, as if he hadn’t heard Xia Lin’s voice.
Xia Lin asked again and Song Yan came back to his senses and said, “I don’t live with my dad. I live in my own bachelor apartment.”
“Where is your bachelor apartment?”
Song Yan reported an address. Xia Lin entered the address in the navigation system and drove along following the instructions.
Song Yan’s apartment is located in the new development area of City D and the population is not large. As far as their building is concerned, less than one-tenth of the residents are occupied and Song Yan lived on the highest floor. They went up the elevator all the way and hardly met anyone.
On the twenty-fifth floor, Xia Lin followed Song Yan out of the elevator. Although it was during the day, the surroundings were silent and chilly.
When Song Yan took out the key to open the door, Xia Lin couldn’t help but said, “You live here alone? Aren’t you scared?”
Song Yan glanced at him: “I am bolder than you.”
“…” Xia Lin was speechless for a moment, thinking, you are still in the mood to frustrate me. It seems that there is nothing wrong with you.
He followed Song Yan in, put Song Yan’s daily necessities bag when he was hospitalized in the corner of the living room, and said, “I’ll put the things here for you, and you will…”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a “click” sound behind him.
He turned his head abruptly and saw Song Yan standing with his back facing the door, pulling the key out of the lock with his backhand, and lowering his head slightly, with no expression on his face.
“Song Yan, what are you doing with the door locked?”
A bad premonition surged in Xia Lin’s heart and walked quickly towards the door.
Song Yan stopped him and said in a low voice, “Xia Lin, tonight…Don’t go back.”
“What a joke. You clearly said yes to our deal.”
“Who told you?”
Song Yan slowly raised his face and looked at him with scorching eyes, “That is just your wishful thinking. I never agreed.”
Xia Lin took a step back subconsciously and Song Yan was very calm at the moment. So calm that it made him feel scared.
He calmed his mind and said: “I have to go back to school. Song Yan, stop making trouble. Give me the key…”
He stretched out his hand to grab the key in Song Yan’s hand but Song extended his arm and tossed the key in the air. It passed through the half-open window and fell straight down.
“Song Yan, you’re crazy!”
Xia Lin ran out to the window, probed the ground below, and then felt dizzy for a while. This is the 25th floor and he is slightly afraid of heights.
Song Yan took a few steps forward to drag him back, pressed him against the wall, gently lifting his chin with one hand, and gently stroking his cheek with the other, and said in a low voice, “Xia Lin, beware. If you fall, it will not feel good. You haven’t felt that feeling before, but I truly…”
Xia Lin didn’t understand what Song Yan was talking about but he was certain that Song Yan was a little not normal in front of him.
The more gentle he was with him, the scarier he was. “Song Yan, don’t do this, you… if you hate me.”
“Why would I hate you?”
Song Yan showed a confused look, “It’s too late for me to love you. Xia Lin, don’t always think about running away from me, please, okay? Whenever you follow me with a cold expression, my heart feels so painful that I couldn’t stand it.” He said, holding one of Xia Lin’s hand and pressing it on his heart.
Xia Lin began to tremble all over. Song Yan’s body temperature was very hot, The position of his heart was even hotter and the sound of his heartbeat was unusually clear, chaotic but powerful, with an irresistible vigor.
Xia Lin suddenly hated his softheartedness. If he refused to promise to send him home from the beginning, he might not be trapped by this madman.
At the same time, he was also a little confused. Since Song Yan has recalled the events of his previous life, shouldn’t he go to Yu Luotong first?
Suddenly he seemed to be inspired and blurted out: “Yu Luotong will go abroad soon.”
“What?” Song Yan paused but he couldn’t keep up with his thoughts.
Xia Lin realized that this trick worked and then said: “You may not know yet. Yu Luotong is about to emigrate abroad with his current boyfriend and he will leave after receiving his graduation certificate.”
Song Yan felt his strong emotion burst out in an instant, almost splitting him in half.
Half of him told himself, what does it have to do with him? Yes, let them go; the other half was full of jealousy and asked in a dumb voice: “His boyfriend?”
“A Chinese-American named David.” Xia Lin answered quickly but a trace of guilt surged in his heart.
In this life, Yu Luotong has found his home but he pushed Yu Luotong as a shield at this time. He doesn’t know if Song Yan will be angry and disturb Yu Luotong.
But he really can’t care about these now. He just wants to get out of the twenty-five-story prison as soon as possible.
“David… David.” Song Yan repeated the name with a dazed expression on his face, “So… it’s him?”
Xia Lin was startled: “Do you recognize him?”
In their last life, Luo Tong was with him in the end. Song Yan grinned to himself and let out a deep and painful laugh, “Yes, he is the destiny of Luo Tong. . . he is.”
Xia Lin looked at the timing, pushed Song Yan away, turned, and ran towards the door.
However, the door has been locked and the key has been thrown out. Xia Lin thought about it. Song Yan couldn’t have only one key. There must be a backup. But where will the backup key be stored?
After Song Yan came to his senses, seeing Xia Lin was looking for the key, he took a lot of time to catch up.
He grabbed Xia Lin’s wrist, dragged him to the sofa, and then covered him with his body, firmly suppressing him underneath.
(I was rooting for Song Yan after he showered Xia Lin with love and attention but I’m kinda scared of him now.)
