Ch8 - The end of one world, the launch of another (2/2)
The Lord General Cong Hui made countless outstanding military achievements in his lifetime, dedicating his life to the country. He was unmarried his whole life, and it is said that to be due to the death of his lover on the battlefield. He spent the rest of his life in remembrance of the other, defending the country. It is also because this country is something for which his lover exchanged his life.
Xue Ling rolled his eyes, speechless, “Who gave him the guts, calling me his lover. “

The little fox wrapped around Xue Ling’s neck and yawned. “It was written by the historian.”
Xue Ling snorted, what a coward, he waited for two months, even until death, he didn’t hear a word from the other side. He even thought that the task he had left behind would not be completed, did not expect that Cong Hui was restrained(闷骚) to such an extent, a ** world protagonist gong, shouldn’t they make a move right away if they like a person?!
Although he had been ready to reject him in a just and honest way even if he confessed, so that he would think about him for life and never get married.
Well, it seems that the task has been completed now.
“Host has done a good job this time, and the two protagonists’ luck has been accepted. Do you want to start the next world?
“En, let’s get started.”
Xue Ling’s EQ is not low, he can guess that Cong Hui has thoughts towards him, but he himself didn’t have any feelings at all. In fact, he has no heart, he is indifferent, unfeeling, some things he has seen too much of, it’s difficult to make his heart move.
Especially Cong Hui that kind of repressed man.
Xue Ling’s figure soon disappeared from this patch of space, and another figure strode forward.
His gaze were somewhat obscure and difficult to see through. A voice came from the darkness. “Do you still want to follow and go together?”
“Go ahead.”
“Isn’t it just that you’re worried?”
“I just want to take a vacation.”
“Oh. Do as you like.”

“What is the next world that he is going to?”
“How would I know, why, you want to pick a role?”
“Always being targeted by you, naturally it’s unpleasant.”
“Why are you blaming me again, you can’t control yourself and you’re still blaming me, ha-ha.”
“Stop talking nonsense, send me over.”
“Ha-ha.”
When Xue Ling opened his eyes again, it was to a screen of white. His body’s state was not as bad as last time, just lying on a sofa. Standing up, he looked around, it should be a lounge or something similar.

He was wearing a tuxedo, which should be the the trappings for a performance. Xue Ling turned a full circle, then spoke to the little fox that was running all over the lounge, “Give me the plot.”
The little fox shook his tail and said, “Host should lie down first.”
This is a modern world, the story could be regarded as ‘golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest’ type story with a phoenix man rising up in the world. Xue Ling is a famous pianist named Wen Xiuyuan. His sister, Wen Xiuting, married the year before last and gave birth to a child. Her husband is the phoenix man, and also the hero of the story.
Wen Xiuyuan is participating in a music competition that will decide his fate. If he can stand out in this competition, he can enter the world’s best Conservatory of Music and study under the music master he has always admired.
Music is his lifelong ideal, because he loves music, he was not interested in the management of his family’s industry. In order to support his decision, his parents agreed to the have the male protagonist marry into the family, and gave the management of the company to the male protagonist. In a sense, Wen Xiuyuan is a pure artist, because in his world, other than music there is nothing else.
But his simple world will be broken apart today, and he will never have the chance to step into the highest palace of music in his life.
Before the performance begins, he will receive a phone call from his sister about their parents, who have died in a car accident.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Wen Xiuyuan lost his soul after receiving such news, and made a lot of mistakes in the competition. After leaving the competition venue, he hurried back to his home country to deal with his family’s affairs. But as soon as he left, he stepped into a world of darkness.

闷骚 mēn sāo – “extreme desire in the heart, but restrained on the surface”
this is a really fun one that can (and will be) translated n different ways in the story. I chose ‘repressed’ in this particular context, but other suggestions are ‘bottled up’, ‘tsundere’, ‘frosty on the outside but burning on the inside’… you get the idea.
