An Old Sweet Story About Rebirth

On that unforgettable summer night, Chi Yu, who was going through a hard time, met a strange man. That man crossed mountains and rivers to help him. He arranged his surgery, paid off his debts, and chased away the thugs who had come to harass him. But Chi Yu didn’t believe that the man could be a good person. Good people had never appeared in his life. So, this man wouldn’t be any different. Just as he had expected, the strange man handed him a contract outlining several ‘obligations’ he needed to fulfill, along with the generous rewards he would be getting in return. Yet, Chi Yu signed the agreement. From then on, Chi Yu and the strange man named Xie Qingsheng started to live together. Xie Qingsheng seemed to be a man with a strong desire to dominate and took his image very seriously. With a frown on his face and a serious look in his eyes, he said, “You’ve become so thin. People will think I’m treating you badly.” As he spoke, he would carefully scoop out some crab roe and serve it to Chi Yu. While he coldly said, “Look at other people’s boyfriends, they have a gold card, how can you not have one?” At the same time, he stuffed a black card with no upper limit in his hands. He also solemnly said “I heard someone offered you five million to leave me? I’ll offer ten times that to make you stay. It’s enough to make them eat their words, right?” Chi Yu: “…” One day, the man gave his usual villainous smile and said, “Study abroad? Of course, you can. Watching my little bird fly farther than the others, the pride and sense of accomplishment I feel is better than any CEO’s.” Chi Yu looked up at him for a moment, then hesitantly raised his hand to wipe the man’s teary eyes. “Then… why are you crying?” _____ Gong PoV In the previous life, Xie Qingsheng loved Chi Yu for his entire life. Unfortunately, Chi Yu’s life was too short, and they met too late. They were in love for two years and married for three—that was all the time Xie Qingsheng had with Chi Yu before death separated them. After Chi Yu’s sudden death, Xie Qingsheng became an empty shell without a soul and purpose. He lived his life aimlessly until he traveled 10 years back in time and met the hedgehog-like young Chi Yu. He knew, young Chi Yu no longer believed there was any kindness left in the world. Still, to stay by his lover’s side, he was willing to do whatever it took, even if it meant using the harshest and most despicable methods just to be with his lover. With that, he stayed by his lover’s side. Patiently waiting for the day when his lover’s icy heart would finally melt, and he would fall in love with him again.
