Chapter 31 (2/2)
Deep down, he was in fact absolutely terrified. Been reborned with knowledge that would change everything couldn’t make him any less afraid of the day when everything will end.
In his past life, the temperature in May was quite normal, without any ma.s.sive rains or any kind of disasters. But July came and the rain poured continuously as the temperature got warmer and warmer.
and then, some random meteor fell from the sky.
And it was soon followed by the fever.
People everywhere started getting sick and after seven days of incubation, at midnight exactly, the Apocalypse began.
However, now that the end was near, he couldn’t stop thinking about the falling meteor&h.e.l.lip; what if the b.u.t.terfly effect this time create something different? What if it begins ahead of time? What if all he has seen in his past life turn out to be different this time? What if all he is doing right now ends up being for nothing? Facing all alone the fear of the unknown, Xiao San caring words were extremely soothing for his heart. He was tired, he couldn’t keep it for himself anymore&h.e.l.lip; he had to tell someone now!
“I am here, don't be afraid.” Although he couldn’t know what was happening to Bai Jing, but looking at his lover's expression Xiao San felt miserable. Watching his normally fearless kitten in such a level of distress, his eyes turned muddy dark with murder intent. If he was to know who dared to grief his kitten, even a king he wouldn’t forgive.
But he got a bit distracted as he, having taken this opportunity to hug Bai Jing, felt that his waist was really as soft as a cat. He was glad. This right here was a proof that there has been some progress. But despite that discovery, he took no further actions. He still was worried about his lover's situation.
“Tell me.” softly said Xiao San as he tightly embrace Bai Jing.
A familiar smell touched his nose as Bai Jing slowly calmed down. That's right. He had Xiao San with him this time. He still had time before the virus outbreak. He had more advantage than most people. In his last life, didn’t Xiao San guided them and kept them safe? So as long as that man was with him, he had nothing to fear. And even if he was to die, he was ready to face it with him. Of course, those were just words as he absolutely didn’t want to die a dog death.
“Do you believe in the Apocalypse?” Bai Jing slowly raised his head, his eyes clear and resolute as he stared at Xiao San with a serious expression he had never seen before.
Xiao San was surprised for a moment, his eyes automatically swept to the computer and he saw the articles on his desktop related to the topic.
He suddenly realised what this was all about and couldn’t help but find it funny. So as he was in this room alone in the dark, his baby read articles made by some alarmists talking of the end of the world and now he ended up all scared and trembling.
Xiao San looked at Bai Jing for a moment before unconsciously answering with a softer tone : “Do not listen to those crazy stories&h.e.l.lip; And if the end really was to come I would be there and protect you.”
”You don't believe me.” Bai Jing glared at him angrily. He was agitated and upset, but Xiao San reaction wasn’t completely unexpected. And in his head his lover's last sentence did brought his some comfort.
Xiao San was silent as he faced this outraged kitten of his. What did he want him to say? If it was anything else he would have agreed, but the end of the world? That was just pure nonsense.
”You don't believe me.” This time Bai Jing shoved him away with a bitter look. How could he had forgotten? The present Xiao San isn’t the same person as in his former life.
Pushed away, Xiao San face sank. He hated that look in Bai Jing's eyes, the one that makes him wonder who was that person he was seen through him.
He pulled his lover back into his arms and confining him, he asked in a low voice colored with anger
”Who are you thinking of?”
Bai Jing heart flew into panic as he started struggling against Xiao San
”Let me go! Let me go, you don’t believe me.”
.
”Tell me, who you are thinking about?” Inside of his head, a storm was raging and flashes of ruthlessness could be seen in his eyes. He kept embracing the struggling boy until he stopped moving and calmed down.
”I was thinking of no one&h.e.l.lip; You just don't believe me.” Refuted Bai Jing. As he said that, in his heart he decided to never let Xiao San know anything about his last life&h.e.l.lip;He won’t tell him that he already died once because of him. He will never let him know that he lived in the future. This secret he must keep till the grave as he was afraid that Xiao San wouldn’t forgive him if he ever learned the truth.
”&h.e.l.lip; How could you make me believe?” asked Xiao San uncertainly as he loosed up his grip on the now behaving kitten. In his head he sighs a bit and decide to go with it, since ultimately his last wish would be to rush things and make Bai Jing run away. But he felt confident that one day, he would erase all the shadows he knew existed in Bai Jing's heart, leaving only himself inside.
'Believe? make you believe?' Bai Jing anxiously thought about a way.
He couldn’t make anyone enter his s.p.a.ce at the moment, otherwise he could simply brought him in to have a look. But he shouldn’t forget that this Xiao San isn’t the one from his former life. Not only was there little time left, that man also had subordinates and people around with their eyes on them. He absolutely had to conceal the truth about the real size of his secret s.p.a.ce.
Yes, his s.p.a.ce! As he thought of a plan his eyes shone brightly.
“I have a special power and I know that the Apocalypse is coming. If I show you that power, will you believe me?
Looking at Bai Jing's eyes full of expectation, Xiao San knew it was time to tell him it was enough but he found it adorable that his kitten would stop at nothing to try and convince him of a oncoming end of the world. Going so far as to suddenly talk about a superpower? Although he wasn’t a Superman, this cat truly was the cutest.
At that point Xiao San completely stopped taking this conversation seriously, so it’s very calmly that he answered
“Whatever you superpower is, just show me.”
Bai Jing understood by his tone that he didn’t care anymore, so he raised his chin and turned his head away. Xiao San, his eyes catching the movement look up at the direction it was pointing. In front of them, a whole couch disappeared out of thin air.
Despise his poker face making him look cold in the eyes of most people, Bai Jing could always read Xiao San easily and therefore saw him gawks as his expression looked a bit silly.
”you really have a superpower?” asked a somehow hesitating Xiao San. But as they say, seeing is believing and now he had to believe Bai Jing's words. And even he didn’t want to, deep inside of his heart he got serious.
