I Got My Bad Side Awakened After Rebirth

58. Do You Want to Take a Shower?

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

In the bedroom, Chu Xiao couldn’t sleep because of effect of the drug.

Ling Fan lying on the sofa in the living room was unable to fall asleep, too.

It was no surprise.

The old apartment building was not soundproof. Groans and gasps from the bedroom attracted all his attention. Not surprisingly, he failed to go to sleep.

Although he was under age, he was vigorous and would easily be sexually excited. What was more, there was a mature soul in his body…

So…

He could not help remembering what had happened that day at the bar…

Ling Fan knew how soft and hot Chu Xiao’s body was, and how charming his watery eyes and flushed cheeks were… His groans and gasps were a strong temptation to Ling Fan…

Ling Fan felt sexually excited. Perhaps he was somewhat attracted by Chu Xiao.

History seemed to repeat itself.

But this time Ling Fan felt that something was different…

His feeling for Chu Xiao had changed before he knew it…

He always regarded Chu Xiao as his enemy and rival in love.

In his previous life he was so stupid that he was exploited by Luo Li. He deserved it. But he would have lived longer if he hadn’t been involved in that premeditated car accident…

Although he had come back to life, he was full of anger every time he recalled those bad days. He remembered the indifference in the doctor’s expression when he woke up and was told that his broken rib had penetrated his heart but they didn’t operate on him because no one paid for it. He remembered the heavy irony in the policemen’s voice when they came to see him in the hospital and told him that he had to take full responsibility for the car accident. He remembered those ten years in prison…

But things were different, whether he admitted it or not…

Chu Xiao was the main cause of his tragedy. In the past, he could kill Chu Xiao without hesitation. The reason he didn’t kill Chu Xiao at the bar was just because he thought that death was a merciful release to Chu Xiao.

But now…

He had many chances to kill Chu Xiao, but he found that he didn’t have the heart to do so…

He panicked when he realized it.

‘No, this is not the truth…

I just don’t want him to die so easily. I want to make his life a living hell.

Yes, that’s it…’ Ling Fan thought to himself.

He clenched his fists and tried to persuade himself…

He also tried to ignore the groans from the bedroom and compose himself.

But unfortunately, he failed.

He didn’t calm down until the sound of Chu Xiao’s groans died away.

He took a deep breath and got up. He had recovered his usual self-possession.

In the bedroom.

Chu Xiao was lying on his side, not stirring. He seemed to be asleep. Obviously, he was exhausted by an hour’s torment of the drug.

Ling Fan stood beside the bed staring down at Chu Xiao in silence.

‘No wonder Dr. Li spoke so highly of the drug. It works well,’ he thought.

He surveyed Chu Xiao from head to foot.

‘I often saw Chu Xiao on TV in my previous life, and he always assumed an air of superiority. This is the first time he has showed his weakness…

He shouldn’t look like that.

But I find a pleasure in his misfortune. Even my hatred for him has diminished.

Is it because I’ve successfully taken revenge on him?

It doesn’t seem to be so…’ he thought to himself.

Ling Fan was wondering why his feeling for Chu Xiao changed. Just then, Chu Xiao woke up.

Chu Xiao was still alert to every sound and movement, although he was drugged.

So, the moment he opened his eyes and regained consciousness, he keenly sensed there was another person in the room.

He cast a cold glance at Ling Fan.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m looking at you.” Ling Fan paused for a second and added, “You are good-looking.”

He had wanted to ask, “How are you feeling now?” But he gave up because he knew Chu Xiao wouldn’t feel grateful to him.

What was more, as the person who drugged Chu Xiao, Ling Fan didn’t feel qualified to ask the question…

Chu Xiao frowned and said through clenched teeth, “Get out of here…”

If he had recovered his strength, He would have given Ling Fan a good beating.

Those who knew him well always avoided offending him. No one dared to describe him as good-looking.

Except for Fan Ming, all those who offended him paid a heavy price.

But he didn’t think the teenager in front of him would be another exception.

Ling Fan caught a murderous look in Chu Xiao’s eyes.

But he was already immune to it.

He asked in a flat voice, “Do you want to take a shower?”

Chu Xiao frowned again at his words.

After an hour of torment, he did indeed need to take a shower.

But… He didn’t have the strength. What was more, he found it unacceptable to take a shower in a complete strange, unsafe place.

So…

“No.” He refused Ling Fan without hesitation.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he decided to wait until the drug’s effect wore off.

‘When the drug no longer has any effect, I can go home by myself and take a shower, even if Chen Feng doesn’t find me. As for this boy, I will reward him for helping me, and teach him a lesson, as well…’  Chu Xiao thought to himself.

He planned everything perfectly.

But there was one thing that was likely to disappoint him…

The effect of the drug, which was specially prepared for him, wouldn’t wear off easily…

Chu Xiao’s reply was to be expected.

Ling Fan was neither surprised or angry. He accepted Chu Xiao’s refusal with equanimity.

He shrugged and said leisurely, “Suit yourself. Let me remind you. This apartment building is old, and the voltage is unsteady. I’m going to turn off the water heater. I can’t help you if some time later you regret it and want to take a shower.”

“Get out!”

Ling Fan leaned against the computer table and said flatly, “This is my apartment. You… er, you are a guest. I think you should be politer to me.”

After all, Chu Xiao would stay here for a long time. Ling Fan wanted to make peace with Chu Xiao if possible.

“Get out of here if you don’t want to die.” Chu Xiao was in no mood to chat with Ling Fan. In his view, Ling Fan was a stupid, noisy boy.

What was more, he was in a fret.

He had experienced a lot of kidnappings and attempted assassinations, but it was a long time ago.

Now very few people dared to do so.

He hadn’t been put in such an awkward position for a long time.

Damn it!

Judging from the displeasure on Chu Xiao’s face, Ling Fan divined what Chu Xiao was thinking.

He raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Then without hesitation, he turned around, walked out and closed the door behind him.

Just as the door was closed, the relaxed expression on his face gave way to a serious one.

He brought Chu Xiao back to his apartment on the spur of the moment. He knew it was unwise, but he didn’t think that it was a good decision to go ahead with his plan of sending Chu Xiao to the underground nightclub. He didn’t want to do that…

So he had to think about what to do next.

……

Chu Xiao didn’t relax his vigilance until Ling Fan went out.

It was not because he thought Ling Fan was a threat to him, but because he didn’t like being watched when he was resting. He was holding Ling Fan hostage, and obviously, they were antagonistic to each other for the time being.

What was more, for some unknown reason, he felt nervous and embarrassed when he was in the same room with Ling Fan.

Maybe…

It was just an illusion.

Chu Xiao frowned and tried to compose himself. He didn’t want to waste his time with these irrelevancies.

He calmed down in the end. The tiredness returned in waves. He was about to close his eyes when the door was pushed open again from the outside.

“You…”

This time Ling Fan didn’t say anything. Without looking at Chu Xiao, he quickly took out a blanket from his wardrobe and put it over Chu Xiao. Then he turned around and left.

Chu Xiao was a little surprised. He cast a glance at the door and muttered to himself, “He seems to be a considerate boy.”

But…

He suddenly thought of Fan Ming.

He remembered Fan Ming doing the same thing that day…

‘That day he came back, untied me and then put a coat over me… just like an idiot…’ Chu Xiao thought to himself.

He didn’t notice that his lips curled into a smile.

‘If I had shaken off the drug’s effect and had the ability to kill him at that time, I would have taken out my gun and shot him down without hesitation. But anyway, I have to admit that he’s a genius,’ Chu Xiao thought to himself.

In the past few months, he had waged a tit-for-tat struggle against Fan Ming. Later, they appreciated each other. Chu Xiao concluded that Fan Ming was a talented investor.

As for what Fan Ming had done to him that day at the bar, he didn’t want to think any more of it.
