When the cold water was poured into his mouth and nose, Dai Yao finally regained consciousness. Was he going to die? Although the hand that was holding his neck tightly behind him was trembling uncontrollably, but that person was extremely determined to kill him.
Because only after he(DY) died, can he truly replaced him to lived in this world forever.
This person has a mouth that can coaxed others, but he has a heart like a snake and a scorpion1Vicious people. Lin Qi’s ghostly voice came from behind: “Just go die! I will replace you to live a good life instead, and the person you always thinking about, I will take care of him in your place for the rest of my life. You are so useless and an orphan too, so don’t try to show off. Go with peace of mind, I will send money to the designated account you mentioned every month!”
Lin Qi said something else afterwards, but Dai Yao couldn’t heard it anymore. Bone-piercing cold water pouring into his chest and lungs, and his consciousness began to disorganized and fuzzy. He really doesn’t want to die ah! If he died, Uncle Li should be the only one who will be sad, right? Unfortunately, Uncle Li was already a disabled person without any ability to take care of himself. Memories played back in mind like a revolving lantern2Raw 走马灯(zǒumǎdēng); lantern with carousel of paper horses, rotating under convection, used at Lantern Festival. Pictures below 🠗🠗🠗, dead parents, disabled adoptive father, best friend who was admitted to the hospital…
Slowly closing his eyes, Dai Yao’s consciousness completely disappeared. No, Dai Yao will not disappear from this world, there will be a man named Lin Qi who will live in this world to replaced him. Go to the university he was admitted to and lived the life that should belong to him.
Bang!
The violent impact awakened Dai Yao from his deep sleep. He sat up suddenly, and a strange man was standing in front of him reeking of alcohol. Before Dai Yao had time to realize what was going on, he was first amazed by the opponent’s appearance: Damn, handsome man!
By visual assessment, the man was about 1.9 meters tall, impeccably attired, shirt and tie were neatly dressed. However, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the suit, he tore off the tie annoyedly, and threw it on the ground. The recognition of this face was very high, basically one will remember him when they have see him once. The stubble on both sides was shaved very short, making the whole person look very tough and heroic. The brow bone was high, the bridge of the nose was straight, and three-dimensional facial features, had quite a bit of Westerner flavor. But the dark eyes indicated that this was an oriental man. Looking from his build, very healthy. From his figure, very sturdy3Raw text 从体型上来看,很健壮。从身材上来看,很结实。体型(Tǐxíng); build; body type. 身材(shēncái); stature; build (height and weight); figure. 结实(jiēshi ); rugged; sturdy; strong; durable; buff (physique). 健壮(jiànzhuàng); robust; healthy; sturdy. The meaning of these words more or less is same, my head was spinning in all direction when translating these words_(:3」∠)_ and I begin to wonder if our MC was drunk after he saw our ML lol. In terms of temperament, he’s… not easy to mess with.
Dai Yao took a step back subconsciously, put his back against the head of the bed, and asked, “Who…… are you? This… Where is this?” Wasn’t he dead? Wasn’t he tricked by Lin Qi into a wild mountain village and drowned to dead in an ice hole? Why did he suddenly appear here? He was dead, right? Will one get a handsome man after he died? Dai Yao was subconsciously a little excited, wondering if the handsome man was willing to have sex4Raw text was censored □□愉, but google directly translated to “I don’t know if Dashuai is willing to have sex with him?” from the whole sentences with him? As a born gay, he think that the benefits after death was not bad.
As it turns out, Dai Yao’s expectations were met immediately. The man glanced at him and began to undress. The smell of alcohol all over his body could not be concealed, and it permeated the entire bedroom. Dai Yao’s mind began to clear up. This place looked familiar, like a hotel? He had never stayed in such a luxurious hotel more than several times in his life. Before Uncle Li had a car accident, he took him to live with him twice, and after he signed that nonsense contract, he was taken to live there once by the intermediary.
It was a five-star hotel with suites, it seemed to be called… Keston.
Dai Yao looked up, Keston’s iconic totem was on the headboard, wait, he turned his head and looked to the side. Sure enough, the white paper with black words contract that was signed were there, Dai Yao was a little dumbfounded.
Three years ago, Li Mohan had a car accident. Dai Yao failed the college entrance examination, and creditors came to his door one after another. He didn’t know that Uncle Li’s company had already experienced such a big crisis and finally declared bankruptcy. What little the company had left was paid to its creditors. But Li Mohan, who was in a vegetative state after the accident, was lying on a bed in a nursing home, with a large amount of medical expenses left unpaid.
The first payment was 30,000 yuan, which can last for two months. After that, it will be 7,800 yuan per month. This was already the cheapest nursing care institution that Dai Yao can find, with pretty good conditions. He was a half-grown ignorant child who doesn’t know how to take care of patients at all. Not to mention Uncle Li now has no ability to take care of himself at all, and he still needs to take various medications at regular intervals. Dai Yao tried anything in a desperate plight and at this time, someone happened to come to him and asked him to do something. As long as he did it well, he would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. At that time, the other party paid him a deposit of 30,000 yuan and gave him a pinhole camera.
The employer’s intention was very clear, have him be a lover for a person and take pictures of the private things he did with him. To put it bluntly, he wanted him to take a picture of himself and that man having sex.
He gave the deposit of 30,000 yuan to the care institution in one go, but he wrote an IOU to the benefactor and ran away.
That’s right, he was scared, but he didn’t mean to cheat the money. He clearly stated in the IOU that he would pay him back as soon as he saved up to 30,000 yuan. Although he did not fulfill his promise in the following days, because just maintaining Uncle Han‘s5I guess 涵叔(hán shū); uncle Han is typos. It’s actually 黎叔(Lí shū); uncle Li, as his name is 黎莫寒; Li Mohan… monthly recuperation expenses of 7,800 yuan was enough for Dai Yao to work his heart out. So if he owed someone in his previous life, that person should be this benefactor whom he had never met.
Thus, he turned his head to look at the handsome man who smelled of alcohol again, well, the creditor6In the previous paragraph, DY use 金主(Jīn zhǔ); benefactor to refers that man, now he use 债主(zhàizhǔ); creditor has come to his door.
The other party smelled of alcohol, and his eyes were full of irritability. He didn’t even look at him twice, took off his clothes directly and pushed him onto the bed. Dai Yao pushed him hard as he shouted: “Wait, boss, there may be a little misunderstanding between us!”
The other party sneered and said, “Misunderstanding? Hehe, go back and tell your boss, whatever she does, I am not afraid of her.” After that, he threw Dai Yao roughly on the bed. For the first timer Dai Yao, the process was a bit too painful. So much so that when he reflect on it, he realized that the little tender chrysanthemum he had kept for more than twenty years had just been picked off.
Today after his rebirth, he was nineteen years old. That’s right, he has lost his virginity.
Afterwards, he didn’t feel too sad. After all, he was a little gay by nature. In his previous life, he had a platonic love relationship with Lin Qi for two years, and they never made it to the final step. On the last night, Lin Qi asked him out on the grounds that he wanted the two of them to take the last step. Unexpectedly, what greeted him was the God of Death approaching step by step.
Dai Yao shook his head helplessly. After recovering his thinking ability, he roughly realized what was going on with him now. ‘Reborn’ to him, he had fantasized about it in countless of dreams. He fantasized that he could go back to the time before Uncle Li’s car accident, go back to before his parents died. At that time, Uncle Li took him on a scenic tour, although his parents rebuked him, yet they let him run around.
He never thought even in dreams that rebirth would actually happen, but…he was reborn after he lost everything. Dai Yao’s nose was a little sore. It was destined that he should not have a family and ended up alone, right?
He sat up with difficulty, the pain behind making him break out in cold sweat down his spine. Forget it, if it doesn’t belong to you, it won’t belong to you. He took 30,000 yuan from him in his previous life, and this time he will regard this as paying it back. He had kept his virginity for more than twenty years, and it was worth the price after all!
The man next to him was in a deep sleep, Dai Yao struggled to get dressed, packed his things and left. He and this man had no intersection in the previous life, and this life was only for this time. In his entire life, he brought bad fates7Raw 克(Kè); to be able to; to subdue; to restrain; to overcome. Raw context 克父克母克朋友(Kè fù kè mǔ kè péngyǒu), in the old days, astrologers believed that a person’s birthday horoscope was not good that it will affect their loved ones’ fate; in DY’s case, his are affected his parents and his friend’s fate, at least that’s what he believed, he was blaming himself for what happened with them. to his father, his mother, and his friends, and even his adoptive father was admitted to the hospital. If it wasn’t for Yuan Xiaoyuan’s powerful husband8raw 老攻( lǎo gōng); old attack, word play for 老公(lǎo gōng); husband. 攻 refers to the top in malexmale relationship, in short; YX’s seme, he would also be implicated by him.
Dai Yao sighed in distress, he won’t expect any extravagant love anymore, he will either hurt someone or be killed by someone, just accept his fate ba!
So he left another note for the man: The debt has been paid, let’s never meet again9There’s no specific words in English for this words, but 后会无期(Hòu huì wúqí) means; to meet again at unspecified date or meeting postponed indefinitely. To me, this sounded like “Let’s never meet again”. I’m not really good with English, more so with mandarin, if there’s better words for this words in English, feel free to leave a comment ya~.
After leaving Keston, Dai Yao hailed a taxi and dragged his exhausted body back home. He now lives in the old house left to him by his parents. This was the Xicheng District of Nanchen City, and it was also the largest shanty town village in Nanchen City. These area of theirs was being developed and renovated, and only the village where Dai Yao’s family was located was classified as a protected area. For no other reason than because the house in Daijiayao has a history of two or three hundred years, and it belongs to a concentrated village of historical buildings. There were also ancestral halls, temple of local god of the land and ancient locust trees in the village, all of which have a history of hundreds of years.
Nanchen City has done a very good job of protecting these ancient buildings, so except for the surrounding shantytowns, these old houses have basically remained. There was a large number of migrants in this part of the city village, plus the surrounding demolition, when they heard that there was no need to demolish the Daijiayao, they all came to rent houses.
People have also asked about Dai Yao’s house. He originally wanted to rent it out, but the rent in city village at most seven to eight hundred yuan a month, which was a drop in the bucket and not enough to meet his urgent needs. Besides, if he rented it out, where will he live? Better forget it.
After returning home, Dai Yao couldn’t help but feeling sick at heart when he looked at the familiar cold pot and cold stove. He was a child born in old age, his parents only had him when they were about fifty years old. He was cherish and dote on very much. He had been spoiled all his life and became an innocent and harmless fool. After losing the protection of his parents and adoptive father, he ended up like this. A fortune teller once said that he would be the caused of his father, mother, relatives and friends’ bad fates for the rest of his life, and if he was put in a situation where he can’t survive, he would still be able to come back to life.
Now that he think about it, he really agreed with what the seventh blind man10I assume DY refers this to the fortune teller said. Doesn’t this means he was resurrected from death?
After struggling for so long, Dai Yao was so hungry that his chest sticking against his back11Famished. He opened the refrigerator and found the buns he bought the day before yesterday. He took it out and put it in a steamer to reheat. Thinking that the pickle jar in the backyard was still filled with Uncle Li’s pickles, he planned to fish one out for dinner. In addition, he was sticky and greasy, and there was a small bathroom in the backyard. He needed a cold shower urgently.
As soon as he opened the door, Dai Yao was frightened by the scene in the backyard. The backyard, which was originally less than fifty square meters, suddenly turned into an empty and spacious desolate place. There were overgrown wild grassland and rubbles, and a wild cat ran through the grassland, frightening Dai Yao so much that he backed away. Dai Yao rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating because of hunger. However, he saw his familiar pickle jar in a corner of the overgrown grassland.
“What…what’s going on?”
