Ming Yu arrived at his apartment riding Wei Yan's car. He frightened him by the sudden call in the middle of the night telling him to pick him up and when he heard him explain what happened, the slightly bulky man's sensitive heart dropped.

Ming Yu was still soaking wet but he could care less about himself heading straight onto his bed in a trance. His sister wasn't home but that's the least of his concern.

"Admin. . ."

------------Admin is online.

"What was that. . ."

[Admin:??? what was what?]

This juggled his memory that the Admin left before it happened and really didnt know what he was talking about.

"Admin. . . Tingxiao. . . is Li Jun?" he asked unsure and in disbelief.

[Admin: No way~ Author. I know you miss him so much but this is pretty much another world you know?]

"No. Admin. . . im being serious." If Admin could talk his tone of voice would sound playful taking his words lightly.

"Tingxiao. . . he called me by my name."

[Admin: !!?]

"He's Li Jun."

That look in his eyes. . .the warmth of his hands and his habit of brushing his neck where the mole under his ear was supposed to be.

He couldn't believe it. But it was all too familiar he was sure of it.

But how?

His brain was working overdrive and a light bulb finally lit inside his head shifting his body up from shock heavily struck by realization.

"Admin!"

[Admin: Eh?]

"These worlds. . . were recreated from my novels. Could it be. . ."

[Admin: ???]

"Is it possible that the people from this world. . .were the same characters from the first but altered?"

Right. Like a role-playing game.

It was reasonable. Would the system's higher ups really spend so much time in creating new souls for each character just for his novel's purpose?

He could only make sense of it this way. If Tingxiao was the Li Jun of the past, but with his memories were erased and his personality altered. . .

"Admin. . . is this possible?" he asked full of expectation in his heart.

[Admin: it is possible.]

[Admin: Uhh. . . following that pattern. The reason why he remembered you could be because of my interference. .  ]

[Admin: Oh no. . . im in trouble! AH!]

Its possible, Like a glitch or a bug. No, it can only be explained this way.

Ming Yu was now full of hope and expectations. Maybe he was happy too soon. It might only be his wishful thinking and he had some doubts in his heart, scared that maybe he's only deluding himself.

He needed to see him. He needed to make sure.

If it was Li Jun.

If it really was him.

He couldn't help but silently cry again.

[Admin: Uhh. . .]

[Admin: Ming Yu I need to leave again *sweats]

His words were like thunder, sending frightening shivers that reached his heart.

"Did they found out?!" Ming Yu panicked.

What now? are they gonna get rid of Li Jun?

[Admin: I don't know yet. But I need to leave.]

"Admin. . ." he called out begging, scared of what's to come.

[Admin: "..."]

[Admin: I'll see what I can do.]

[Admin: I promise.]

----------Admin is offline.

Ming Yu felt like he was flying only to be shot and drop under a cliff.

"JANG XIN!" Jang Biqing came home kicking his door but ignored it, not rather waste his attention on her.

He was having a headache, his head was full of worry, anxiousness, hope, a jumble of mix feelings unable to set his thoughts straight.

He could only blankly state at the blue ceiling, attempting to calm himself down and ignore the irratic beating of his heart. It was a long sleepless night.

Night passed and Ming Yu finally removed himself from his semi-conscious state when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello. . ." he said close to a whisper.

"Jang. . . Xin?" It was Xu Anru.

Ming Yu was startled awake. "How is he?"  he asked first not even wondering how she even had his phone number.

"He's still unconscious. . . but the doctor said he was fine. Jang Xin, what really happened?" she worriedly asked.

Xu Anru was still distraught unable to cope that she got rejected and all the hard work she did for a man was all for nothing, but soon as she heard what happened to him, she could only rush to her side pushing matters aside.

"Tingxiao. . . he had a headache and fainted. I fell into the fountain with him. . ."

". . . the doctor said that he's not waking might be due to stress and fatigue. Im worried."

Her words made him feel itchy and his brow curved in dissatisfaction. Now that he thought that Tingxiao and Li Jun are the same man, the matter of Xu Anru sticking to his side even as the female lead's right annoyed him.

In the past novel, it was a good thing that he didn't write the appearance of the female lead yet but now that Xu Anru appeared.

How can he not feel jealous and irritated?

For the first time Ming Yu disliked his powerless legs unable to walk to his side and kick these women away. Tsk.

Should I run them over with my wheelchair?

"Xu Anru, can I go see him?" Even the little thing of the need to ask her permission irked him.

Ming Yu never thought he could ever be this petty after falling in love and grew out a nasty temper too.

Silence.

Xu Anru felt unease creeping inside her. The fact of Jan Xin coming over the hospital room to see Tingxiao was somehow unsettling.

"its alright. . . should I pick you up?"

"No. .   a friend will."

"When are you-"

"Now. Ill come over now." Ming Yu beat her into it and ended the call after getting the address and room number.

He rang Wei Yan up naturally treating him as his personal driver.

"Wei Yan, come. to the Hospital."

"You. . . im at work." he replied, troubled.

"Tell them im meeting CEO Feng and they'll let you."

Ming Yu didn't even took a shower and simply stripped off his now dry suit and changed into casual clothes. By the time he opened his door, he saw his sister's awful face.

"Where are you going!." Jang Biqing asked, peeved.

"Work."

"You stay there!" she threatened and rushed into her room.

But why should he listen to her?

Ming Yu left the house taking the elevator and patiently waited for Wei Yan outside the building.

He never thought that waiting would be this torturous. He had always been patient, such that his limit would be praised by his acquaintances. However  since he met Li Jun, now that he know he could be waiting for him, yearning to be at his side. He couldn't stand the slow passage of time.

Wei Yan arrived and Ming Yu opened the door impatient. This startled the other person to move scared that this handicapped man would fall off. He was too hurried that the usual attentive him didn't notice his sister's car stalking behind them.

Arriving, Wei Yan followed him in and when they reached the Feng's VIP room they saw Xu Anru beside Zhenhao on the hallway who stood there to welcome them like a patience wife.

Ming Yu's eyes narrowed at the thought and his indifferent face was showing a clear dissatisfaction.

"How is he?"

"Still unconscious." Xu Anru wanted to greet them properly but got shot down. Seeing this man personally, the gloom in her heart felt heavier, weighing in numb pain.

"Ill go in. you two stay." he said not leaving no as an answer.

Xu Anru wanted to open the door only to notice that the knob was turned shut.

"Miss Xu dont worry. Jang Xin just like his privacy." Wei Yan calmed her down acting as if he understood his friend's actions.

She reluctantly walked back and sat on the bench waiting beside Zhenhao unwillingly.

The room was still white yet a lot wider. The difference was a bed bigger the size of a normal hospital bed. A wooden tea table matched with chairs on the side and luxurious paintings hanging on the walls.

On the bed was a handsome man who switched out into hospital clothes. At a closer look he really was too handsome! Fan like eyelashes and thick brows. To him, it was familiar and unfamiliar yet the confusion made him smile.

He stopped at his side and held Tingxiao's hand lovingly beside his cheek. Ming Yu kissed this hand in repeat immersing himself with the feeling of reuniting with his beloved. He finally accepted their passing in that lifetime and now, the joy and disbelief of having another chance in this lifetime was overwhelming him.

With difficulty he lifted his body with the ample strength in his arms to lean in for a kiss on his lips.

A giddy feeling made his bones quiver in expectation.

"Wake up soon. . ." he mumbled using the palm to cover his weeping face.

"Im waiting. . ." he croaked sniffling in between his tears.

"Li Jun, come back."

Outside, Xu Anru had a sour look on her face making Zhenhao let out a stressful sigh. Wei Yan had long left unable to carry the pressure of being around strangers and rich, notable ones at that so he went smoking outside the hospital to wait.

"Sis. . . why do you look so glum? Its not about brother's condition is it."

Xu Anru really tried to hide her foul mood but it just won't. She kneaded her forehead to somehow regain her composure fit enough to talk.

"Tingxiao. . . is he with someone recently?"

"Uhh. . ." he flinched.

This didn't escape her sight and the pain that was numbing her reached new heights bringing her close to tears.

"I confessed. . . he rejected me."

Zhenhao was shocked to stillness. Actually he had an inkling that his brother found his new love recently. It was clear as day. His brother didn't follow through his robotic on point schedule anymore and would be late in bed messaging or calling someone. Most of the day he would lock himself in his office for work but whenever he passed by the door his brother's laughter would echo through the hallway. Even the board of directors were spooked when he received a call in the middle of the meeting, concluding the talk and left early.

With this amount of PDA, this little brother was blinded.

"Sis. . . I think you should start moving on." he didn't know what else to say. His brother was now immensely happy and a lot cheerful. To be honest, much more than the time he spent together with Xu Anru.

But for Xu Anru his words were like a death sentence and the first thing she did was glare at him in unwillingness. He staked so much and did plenty for this man! How dare he tell her to let go so easily!

"Haha Xu Anru, why so scary~"

Zhenhao froze and his eyes widened so much he was unsteady on his feet. Xu Anru was the same, a vein snapped and all hell let lose.

"JANG BIQING!"

This shout was full of hate making her shiver but the amusement inside her head was drowning the fear and turned into annoyance.

"Xu Anru! why are you raising your voice at me? you're scaring me!" she exclaimed shedding crocodile tears to gain Zhenhao's pity.

Zhenhao was stupidly convinced and held Xu Anru by the wrists intimidating her with a mean stare. She wasnt thinking straight. She had her suspicions and Jang Biqing showing up here was the last string fully against of her being Tingxiao's new found love.

She was ready to attack her with words when the door opened and Ming Yu strolled outside. Seeing Jang Biqing, he rudely snorted in distaste. This sister, so damn shameless.

"So you followed us?"

This statement was like ice, cooling the atmosphere down. The furious Xu Anru snickered and Zhenhao became confused. Ming Yu didn't want to waste his breath and left all three alone to head back home.

His moist red eyes was clear for them to see.

On the way back he was feeling dizzy. Because there was no expression on his face Wei Yan didn't notice his discomfort and left him home alone.

Despite his hunger Ming Yu went straight to his room taking of his shirt from the dehydrating heat. His sight was blurring and couldn't help but grip his head tightly from the drumming ache.

Sleep. that's what he needed right now.

He raised himself with his arms but before he could shift his body all strength disappeared and he lost support slamming onto the side table.

He blacked out.
