To Rise Again In The Apocalypse

Chapter 3 - 3 - First Meeting (Part 1)

Half an hour after he was fed by the nurse, the door to his room slid open and two people entered. Li XinWen saw that it was the original's mother and adopted younger brother.

"Ah'Wen..." the mother was the first to speak after they settled on the chair beside his bed.

"You're finally awake... Mother was worried..." she said as tears started to pool in her eyes. One could see that this elderly woman barely slept with the bags under her eyes.

"Mother, you don't have to worry anymore, I'm alright now." Li XinWen replied. He felt a tug in his heart and spent some time calming his mother down. He held her hand in his as they talked about anything and everything, like old friends who missed each other dearly. It was clear that the mother still couldn't believe her son was finally awake. She had prepared for the worst since the doctor had informed her that her son may possibly end up in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. The mother and son continued to converse until the nurse came in to tell them that Li XinWen needed to take his medicine and rest.

When Li XinWen opened his eyes next, he saw an unfamiliar figure in his room. Li XinWen narrowed his eyes and asked "Who are you?"

Hearing this question, the man couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Is that any way to talk to your patron?"

Li XinWen realized he did something wrong and quickly sorted through his memories. He found the man's information very easily. But what he found made his face turn dark and ugly.

'To think the original indulges in this kind of behaviour...'

Li XinWen stared at the man with a complicated look. According to the original's memories, this man is Xue Rui and is indeed the original's patron. Rich, powerful, and owns the no. 1 entertainment company in Huaxia. The scary thing is that, the entertainment company is not his only business. In fact, he also has his hands on one of the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world. Aside from being Li XinWen's patron, Xue Rui is also his sister's fiancé!

The only reason why Li XinWen was in an indecent relationship with Xue Rui was because the latter had taken a fancy to him and used Li XinWen's weakness against him.

Li XinWen looked back through his memories. A particular scene came to mind. Xue Rui had come to visit him during the filming of his second work after his debut. Back then, Li XinWen had only known Xue Rui for a week after his sister introduced the man to the family as her fiancé. Xue Rui acted like a gentleman and Li XinWen did not feel suspicious at all. It wasn't until break time when the two of them were left alone in Li XinWen's dressing room did he show his true colours.

Xue Rui came on to him, and started to harass Li XinWen. To Li XinWen's surprise he pushed Xue Rui away and a scuffle ensued. Li XinWen was about to leave the room when Xue Rui threatened him that he was going to cut off the engagement with his sister. 'What sc.u.m! This person had the audacity to use Li XinWen's affection towards his sister as a means to push him to a corner.' The feeling of revulsion welled up from the pit of Li XinWen's stomach at the memory.

"I apologize Rui-ge, I am still feeling the effects of the medicine and did not recognize you earlier. Pray tell what brings you here? Is my sister with you?" Li XinWen responded trying his hardest to suppress his revulsion.

"JingHua still had work, so I came alone." Xue Rui answered with a hint of sensual malice. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel a lot better, thank you. Most of the wounds have healed and the more serious injuries remaining have also almost healed completely."

"Good."

"..."

"..."

The awkward silence that came after, made Li XinWen uncomfortable while Xue Rui seemed to enjoy watching Li XinWen's discomfort. After a while, Xue Rui finally moved. At first, Li XinWen thought he was going to leave so he closed his eyes and sighed. But then, he felt the bed dip slightly and sensed someone hovering over him. By the time he opened his eyes, it was already too late. Soft lips pressed against his and Li XinWen's eyes widened in surprise. 'This bastard is very daring!'

Li XinWen clenched his fists and he was about to punch Xue Rui regardless of his injuries when Xue Rui suddenly pulled away as if sensing what Li XinWen was about to do.

"How naughty of you Li XinWen!" Xue Rui remarked with a smirk and a glint of perversion in his eyes. "But that's one of the things I like about you," he added while buttoning his coat.
