QT: Against My Will

268 5.11 – Her Good Boy – The Sleepless Elite’s Wife

“Love at first call?” Lu Kai pumped his chest. Calm down. Damnit. She was not Xue Bi.

“Did you recall something? It was gradual, but you could say so,” patting her pink cheeks, Bing Shi looked at the city streets, “Could you buy me a packet of cigarettes on your way? I want to remember Xue Bi at all costs.”

“Not yet... Are you doing it for me?” Lu Kai bit his bottom lip. She was thinking about his well-being, knowing very well how she couldn’t drag Xuan Mu out of him with force.

Bing Shi chuckled, “For us.”

“...”

The thought of them sharing the same memories and their extraordinary resemblance... The souls inside them were too excited to meet each other after a long separation. They couldn’t ignore the undeniable attraction they felt towards each other.

They didn’t push those feelings away, knowing the reason behind them, they welcomed them with open arms.

After regaining some of her past memories, Bing Shi didn’t continue being the same girl as before. The same could be said about Ziek, Ru Quan, and Xuan Mu. Ziek wasn’t ‘Ziek’, Ru Quan wasn’t ‘Ru Quan’ and Xuan Mu wasn’t ‘Xuan Mu’ anymore. None of them disappeared. Their memories were intact. Bing Shi didn’t have to say farewell to any of them. They all changed with time, and the one they resembled the most after the change was Xuan Mu, thus seizing this name and personality as theirs.

“Xue Bi...” Lu Kai voiced out her name, “How come you don’t mind?”

.....

Were they betraying their past love?

No.

They were slowly unraveling the undiscovered parts of them.

It was the continuation of their love.

“If you see me as Xue Bi, so be it, I can’t help but see you as Xuan Mu as well.” Bing Shi answered. “Just wait when you remember those two lifetimes, you’d want to gauge out your eyes and hair. The old Xuan Mu hated those two lifetimes for liking other women so much that he ended up with a split personality.”

“That’s disgusting!” Lu Kai banged his glass on the bar table, “I don’t want to remember them. I only want to remember you.”

“Calm down, I was exaggerating. After meeting your other lifetimes, I concluded. Your soul is very sweet and loyal. Don’t worry, I love it a lot.” Bing Shi laughed at his reaction, “There was one lifetime which I had, and would rather forget about it. It was way more disgusting than your relationship with other girls. But you continued to love me and supported me through everything. Knowing that there is another part of me that you fell in love with, it soothed me a lot... So please, I know it might sound stupid, but, don’t feel jealous of yourself and your own memories...You see, one time you were called Ziek and...”

“You didn’t even meet me, and you already love me more than Xue Bi,” Lu Kai interrupted her, his tone soft, assuring. If he left this world, Xuan Mu might appear, but he might disappear again.

Lu Kai looked at the tattoo that could alter other’s memories. Would he risk Bing Shi’s existence? He wouldn’t. At first, he refused to believe that he could like someone he never met before. Four years without knowing her, without seeing her, without hearing her voice, without her touch, and he could still feel and see the love she had for him through the space ring. She may be similar to Xue Bi, but at the same time, she was awfully different.

“Mm...” Bing Shi didn’t refute, “Might I warn you, it will only increase with time.”

Lu Kai held his breath behind his pursed lips to steel himself against the upcoming feelings that started to sprout too fast for him to stop, “It’s been four years. You didn’t even ask if I cheated on you.”

Bing Shi tapped on her window frame, smiling softly, “Did you enjoy your freedom with pretty girls?”

“Pretty girls? I wouldn’t say so.” Lu Kai turned his head towards Quin Yu, who just appeared from behind the doors, “Annoying pest? Definitely.”

“Virgin boy. Are you badmouthing me?” Quin Yu walked behind a bar and poured himself a drink.

“Did you hear him?” Lu Kai asked Bing Shi, chuckling, “I’ll call you later.”

{Side quest: Drag Quin Yu back into the bedroom +5p. Time limit: 10min.}

Quin Yu swore to himself that he could hear someone’s giggles, his gaze halted on Lu Kai’s phone then up at Lu Kai’s poker face.

How did Quin Yu meet Lu Kai? Let’s say the government sought Lu Kai’s team of experts to work on new defensive weaponry. He, the arms dealer, of course, got a hold of this information.

Though there was news about Lu Kai, it was incredibly difficult to dig out information on him. A man by the name Lu Kai didn’t exist. That was because he always used this public name, instead of his real name, Lukas Shiffer. Someone liked his privacy and solitude, didn’t he?

Lu Kai’s spotlessly clean reputation gave him access to new opportunities. The type of legitimate opportunities, Quin Yu could only dream of doing.

Quin Yu decided not to blackmail this seemingly harmless man, who refused the government’s offer. Until now, he had yet to discover Lu Kai’s weakness. After meeting each other, they came to a tacit understanding, and that was not to put their noses in each other’s businesses.

“Hands of Silika Lin,” Lu Kai decided whether or not to warn Quin Yu about not touching Xue Bi. That man would find out one way or another, “She’s mine.”

“Silika Lin?” Quin Yu asked, his voice disinterested.

“My sugar baby.” Lu Kai thought about how to explain their unexplainable meeting, checking Xue Bi’s message at the same time, “I found her on the internet. She was looking for someone who would pay for her father’s medical bills.”

“Sounds like a cheap scam.”

“You know how I have a thing for good girls who are caring towards their loved one...s,” Lu Kai stood up, walking towards the toilet cubicle, a sly smile crept up his face. “She always wanted to visit Solis. I’m picking her up for a little date.”

Don’t tell him that Lu Kai flew over there because of a woman. Quin Yu knew these types of women. Those little fake sluts were no good. If he didn’t know better, he would think this man before him lost his brain on his way to the airport. He took it as Lu Kai taking action against somebody himself. Whoever that Silika was, her fate wouldn’t end up good.

Quin Yu walked back to the bedroom, staring at the tied up Aoi Hong that banged her body against the door and fell on the floor the moment he pulled the handle. She was too innocent to sully on the first night. This was the first time he met a person who could faint from a kiss.

“Ahh! Somebody help me!” Screaming for help, Aoi Hong looked around, avoiding the big demon before her. ‘Where’s the doctor?’ Come to think of it, she never got a glimpse of his face.

Bing Shi sneaked out of the messy bedroom. When was the last time this girl cleaned up her room? Where was her house-wife of a mother? This whole apartment was so messy! Looking at the dirty dishes that weren’t washed for a week, she was reluctant to touch the grease on them. Picking up the chair, she placed it before a sink.

[[“XiaoPu you wash the dishes, while I clean up the kitchen and living room.”]]

XiaoPu who never washed the dishes before crawled up the chair and rolled up his sleeves. As a higher rank, humanoid system which could operate on its own, he pretended that he was a dish cleaning expert.

[[“Wait.”]]

Bing Shi took an apron out of her space and tied it around his little body.

[[“Perfect, haha.”]]

Grabbing a trash bag, she picked up all the trash around the small kitchen and the attached living room; threw away the expired food, repositioned the furniture, dusted off the couch, and wiped the table and floor. Clapping her hand, she turned towards the struggling boy. The dishes had to be too dirty.

[[“I’m going to take a quick shower.”]]

A few moments later...

Bing Shi returned to a crying mess XiaoPu and broken dishes. Her temporary system was a bit of a clutz.

[[“You should have told me that you never cleaned the dishes before.”]]

Listening to XiaoPu’s cries, she threw away the broken pieces, and let the other dishes sink in hot water.

[[“We’ll wash it tomorrow... or maybe never.”]]

Silika’s father should arrive in a while, and she was not ready to meet him yet. At first, her father would always provide money to Silika and her mother. It was sufficient enough to sustain all their needs. But after his health worsened, so did the profit from his four restaurants. He was forced to close three.
