Chapter 286 - Discerning Identities (2/2)

Lei Xing let out an irritated breath.

{...(≖_≖ ) Stupid is what it was...}

{...*Hey, you can't blame me your lack of comprehension skills...I told you that I, Doctor Lou was not the voice...that is a true statement. Have you met a doctor who can talk to people in their heads or who can even make a poison detecting bracelet? No, because they do not exist. I'm not actually a doctor, I thought you would have known that by now...Quite disappointed actually~...}

Lei Xing wished he was right in front of her so he could see the deathly glare she was sending across.

{...Where I'm from not only doctors are called doctors...There's the whole Ph.D. thing and regardless, people give themselves whatever titles they want. I am obviously aware that you are not an ordinary doctor but I didn't care that you called yourself a bloody doctor! ≖_≖)...}

{....*Hmm, if you say so~....Anyway, the persona ”Doctor Lou” can't do it, BUT I, the wonderfully gifted and talented Qi Ya- Lou! I mean, Lou, my name is LOU! LOU, Qi Lou - that's Lao Lou to you, can do it~...So see, you two simply had a gap in understanding, not my fault...I, never lied to you~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)...}

{...(╬≖_≖)...You -...*deep breath* Just go away...}

{...*⚆ _ ⚆)...Xing Xing, ah, Xing Xing~, you can't seriously be blaming me for this, are you? I was j-...}

{...Then what was all that nonsense about threatening the Emperor and other such bullshit you were saying that day!...}

{...*Correction, I never threatened him. I simply made him an offer and he refused. Not my fault if he unjustly felt threatened for no reason...Now I feel offended. I was trying to do something good and was labeled as an unscrupulous being!...}

{...-_-)...I'm not going to apologize to you...}

{...*Xing Xing~ Come on, don't be angry...I told you now even though it's none of your business... See, I'm showing you good faith as a Shifu~ So you should naturally reflect this good faith as a good little student~...}

Lei Xing shook her head and sighed as she leaned back in her seat again.

{...You know, it's not nice to play with people...I don't care about all this nonsense about having different personas...You knew what I meant when I asked that question and you intentionally gave a misleading answer...that you can't deny-...}

{...*But misleading isn't lying though...and you do it too („ಡωಡ„)...}

Doctor Lou responded in such a timid and accusing voice, that Lei Xing did not know what else to say to him.

All she could do was sigh and blame herself for being too stupid. But honestly that day she did not believe him. But that day, he had side-swiped her to focus on the more gullible Emperor and her own truths he made her tell boggled down her mind.

After all, the Emperor's voice was truly not her problem when she was being confronted with all her own misleading statements and lies she had fed the Emperor all that time. Now that she thought about it, Doctor Lou must have made her bring up her past in order to throw her mind off of his issue.

Lei Xing sighed, it was as if this Doctor or Qi Lou or whatever he called himself was her karma in the flesh...or in the head. She was feeling too tired to continue to scold the old man.

{...* I knew you would understand~...}

Lei Xing sighed again and rolled her eyes.

{...You once said that you did not tell me all that crap about the similar energies stuff when I first told you about my transmigration because I did not have the capacity to accept it then...I have come to wonder about what other things you might be withholding from me...So I have one more question and I want the honest truth...}

{...*Of course, anything~...}

Lei Xing did not at all find his enthusiasm at all reassuring. It just sounded as if he was in the mood to play and she was really not in the mood for games today.

{...I will not be angry - I won't be enraged anyway. I won't do anything to your bracelet or you when we meet again. I just want to know...and I want a simple honest yes or no...Do you, Doctor - Qi Lou, Lao Lao or whatever the hell you want to call yourself (◔_◔)...Have anything to do with me being here, my transmigration?...}

Doctor Lou went silent again and Lei Xing quietly waited for him to collect himself.

Finally, he found his words and to Lei Xing's annoyance, he decided to answer in more words than one.

{...*Well...It depe-...}

{...Yes or no? (≖_≖ )...}

{...*.Well ⚆ _ ⚆)...it's a bit complicated hehe...he...}

Lei Xing frowned, her irritation rising.

{...Simplify it. Yes or no?! ۹( ÒہÓ )۶...}

{...*Fine. Kind of ( ￣^￣ )...}

{...So that's a yes?...}

{...*Kind of ⚆ _ ⚆)...}

Lei Xing let out a breath. She was not surprised, after all, she had come to this conclusion already. Even if he denied it she would have had a very hard time believing him. Not with how pushy he was for them to be together on both sides and with everything that happened so far, it was all too abnormal.

Moreover, life was never really this coincidental.

So she took a deep breath and asked the question that had been at the back of her mind, one she had withheld from the Emperor during their discussion. She was truly not sure how she would react to the truth of this...or if she truly wanted to know. But she could not help herself and asked with a bit of tears pooling in her eyes - whether they were of anger or sadness, she did not know.

{...Did you - did you kill me for your Emperor?...}

{...*NO! NOooo, Noooo, nooo, No. I did not kill you...technically (¬‿¬ )...}

Lei Xing immediately frowned, anger surging.

{...So technically you did?...]

{...*No, no, Don't make any assumptions. As I said it's complicated. Anyway, details are not at all important. Not important at all, nothing to worry about...Just forget it hehe~....}

Lei Xing took a few deep breaths to calm herself. It was one thing for her to randomly end up here and fall in love with some guy who was apparently her ”pre-ordained” universal match but it was a whole different story if someone took away her life just to make that happen.

{...I am not worrying, I just want to know...Talk -_-)'...}
