Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-BoyfriendCh157 - Extra 2: You’re My Good Friend

One month later.

He-Feng’s second public runway show was located in the fashionable capital of Country F. It was the holy grail where most fashion designers and editors favored, and an extremely romantic country. wxcrD4

When Song Xuanhe had learnt of Xiao Yuanmu’s illness, he had forwarded all his drafts to Feng Tong. As he could not take out the time to make the outfits himself, he had also requested for Feng Tong’s assistance.

Initially, Feng Tong had no clue what had happened to Song Xuanhe, and merely chose to play elsewhere with no urge to come back even for the big event. It was only when they met accidentally did he see the haggard Song Xuanhe. He calmed down, and did everything as he requested before calling him just before the show.

By this time, Xiao Yuanmu had fully recovered, yet Song Xuanhe was still overwhelmed by the system’s absence.

Upon hearing Feng Tong’s call, Xiao Yuanmu took Song Xuanhe and flew to Country F for him to let loose. d7ZkcC

Song Xuanhe did not know why he was feeling adrift. Though the system had helped him in many things, it was clear from the very beginning that their separation was inevitable. He had never been affected by unavoidable conclusions.

However the system had left too hastily. His body was supposed to weaken, but had not. By linking the two things together, it was easy to deduce why the system was in a rush to extract itself.

Xiao Yuanmu did not know why Song Xuanhe was in a state of depression, but he had his own suspicions. Song Xuanhe had told him about a worrisome system. It was an unpredictable factor that required his vigilance. How had the system implanted itself in Song Xuanhe’s brain? What if it did irretrievable harm to Song Xuanhe physically or emotionally?

But upon reviewing the subsequent events, Xiao Yuanmu had changed his stance.

The person and system had spent a long time intertwined together, no matter that one was not a living being with emotions. If one had suddenly disappeared, the other won’t be able to continue as if it never happened.

Moreover, he knew how poorly he had been doing before. There was no free lunch as Song Xuanhe had described; where he could recover without paying a price.

Everything in this world has a price.

— Not to mention this was a human life. Wx82Uh

So between the system and Song Xuanhe, one must have lied. It was obvious that the one who lied was the system which left – in order to protect Song Xuanhe’s peace of mind, and to save Xiao Yuanmu.

Given these two deductions, Xiao Yuanmu was grateful for a system that had been rooted in Song Xuanhe’s brain and protected him, while rescuing a person which had never seen it before.

While he could understand Song Xuanhe’s depression, Xiao Yuanmu did not want him to continue in a state of stupor.

The runway show’s response was satisfactory. Song Xuanhe had not sat as the leading designer, but in the front row. He silently watched as the models paraded, only to let out a beam when the applause ended. cudNoM

Song Xuanhe had not returned to China for a long time. His first move was to visit Li Nianan and Song Yansong at the family manor. Though Li Nianan had no idea what had happened to Xiao Yuanmu, she was aware of the disturbance in the Xiao family.

Upon glimpsing Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu’s energetic appearance, Li Nianan’s strung up heart gradually unwound. “You’ve been together for so long. Have you thought about when you want to get married? How about adopting a child?” She chided.

Song Xuanhe was astounded. He and Xiao Yuanmu shared a look, before Xiao Yuanmu took the chance to answer. “Auntie, we haven’t thought about this. But now that you’ve brought it up, we’ll put it on the agenda.”

“As long as you think about it.” Li Nianan chuckled. “Don’t worry if you choose to hold the wedding in China or in America or wherever you want. My and the old man’s body are doing fine, we can fly anywhere. Right dad?” wCJc1g

Song Yansong glanced at the silent Song Xuanhe.

“Follow me to the study.”

“Isn’t this about getting married? Why the study…”

Before Li Nianan could finish, Song Yansong got up with Song Xuanhe supporting him. The two made their way upstairs in lock step. x9pVyt

Once the door was closed, Song Yansong asked sternly, “What are you and Xiao Yuanmu planning?”

“We just didn’t think about it.” Song Xuan replied. “He and I are still young, so we didn’t consider the timing.”

“Is there something wrong with your relationship?” Song Yansong let himself fall onto the sofa while furrowing his brow. “Although our Song family can’t compare with the Xiao family, only you two can call the shots on your own relationship. You have to be prudent whether you are dating or getting married. If there is any problem between you and Xiao Yuanmu, don’t worry about the Xiao family and come back home. Our Song family is not afraid of them.”

Song Xuanhe paused upon recalling how the original Song Xuanhe had died. “If I became enemies with the Xiao family, will the Xiao family cause trouble for me? What if the Song businesses get affected?” 9k8cZL

Song Yansong’s face darkened as he slammed the sofa’s side with his palm. “What did Xiao Yuanmu say? He said that he would suppress the Song family if you broke up with him?”

“No.” Song Xuanhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. “That’s just a hypothesis.”

“Why would you ask about things without a shadow?” Song Yansong’s eyes shone with a dangerous glint as he surveyed Song Xuanhe’s demoralized expression. “Talk to grandpa, is it because you and Xiao Yuanmu had a quarrel? When you wanted to break up, did Xiao Yuanmu threaten you?”

“No!” Song Xuanhe exclaimed, “Don’t you know my personality? Who can threaten me?” VwPhFS

“In the past, I knew that no one could threaten a little delinquent like you. Now that you’ve grown up and matured, it’s different. ” Song Yansong sneered. “Your grandfather is old, but his eyes can see very well. You’ve spent such a long time away from home, and the Xiao family was wrecked with affair after affair. With you looking like a rain-drenched cat, what else could it be other than Xiao Yuanmu and the Xiao family?”

Song Xuanhe was flabbergasted. He sat down beside Song Yansong, and questioned, “I look upset?”

“What do you think?” Song Yansong frowned.

“It has nothing to do with Xiao Yuanmu.” Song Xuanhe looked at the floor. “It’s… well, a very old friend just left. ” xroAFK

Song Yansong himself was startled. Zhou Nan, Xiao Shenglin… Other than those two, Song Xuanhe did not bring up any other good friends. The two were doing well, so who else could it be…? Ah, young people can make friends easily, and so Song Yansong did not ponder too long over it. “Is this friend very important to you?”

“He helped me a lot and is a very important friend of mine.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Song Yansong’s furrowed brow relaxed. “Since you were good friends, it’s correct to feel sad over his leaving. When you reach my age, you find that the people around you would also leave. As long as you keep him in your heart, he won’t ever leave. ”

“What if it might have left because of me?” PUkMh4

“If it is, he did. If not, he did not. There isn’t an ‘if’ in this world. Since the person has left, don’t make random conjectures if you don’t know the definite answer. No matter if it is because of you, a person willing to sacrifice himself would have left because he did not want you to blame yourself. ”

Song Xuanhe did not utter a word. Song Yansong sighed. “There are some things you have to figure out yourself.”

Grandfather and grandson started to talk about other things. When leaving, Song Yansong instructed, “Since you were good friends, then you should think about the other party’s circumstances. If there was one day where he would be in the same situation as you were, you should not feel guilty for his sacrifice. No matter what he paid, your friend would never have wanted your guilt in exchange.”

Song Xuanhe was left rooted to the ground for some time, before shuffling back downstairs.
They had already planned to visit the orphanage after going to the Song manor to visit the director. On the way there, Xiao Yuanmu could see how solemn Song Xuanhe was, and the two did not speak until they reached the door of the building. GINiLR

The children in the orphanage were ecstatic, especially Yuanyuan. She had grown up and the baby fat had dissipated, leaving behind a young woman. She still shied away from Xiao Yuanmu, though her enthusiasm returned upon seeing Song Xuanhe.

“Brother Xuanhe.” Yuanyuan pulled him aside and whispered, “I’ll tell you a secret.”

As Song Xuanhe was pulled away, Xiao Yuanmu’s eyes stayed locked on him. He laughed and asked, “What secret?”

“I picked up a kitten yesterday!” vURL8

Song Xuanhe hesitated for two seconds, before pretending to be surprised. “Where is it?”

“It’s just outside Brother Yuanmu’s room!” Yuanyuan glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, before whispering, “It’s so small! I don’t know how, but it managed to open Brother Yuanmu’s window. Shunshun is now sleeping on the photoframe of you and Brother Yuanmu!”

Song Xuanhe’s eyes flashed. A memory of a time long ago, so long it had been left to gather dust, suddenly crept up from his childhood.

His parents were still around, and he was still small. They seemed to have raised a very fat cat. It was particularly lazy, and as long as there was space to lie down, it would never stand. But according to his parents, when he was learning to walk, that cat would eagerly spy on his movements. Whenever he was about to fall, the cat would move faster than its bulk implied, and cushion him from injury. 1do6ub

However, that cat had passed on before he was old enough to remember. It had reached old age, and apparently had simply slept and died while waiting for him to return from kindergarten at the door.

That cat was called Shunshun, because when his mother had picked it up, it was seriously injured and very thin. His mother had wished that it would get better and have a happier life, and thus named it Shunshun.

“Brother Xuanhe, won’t you come and meet Er Shun?” Yuanyuan continued to tug at Song Xuanhe. “It’s so cute!”

Song Xuanhe came back to his senses. “Why is it called Er Shun?” 13aTbX

“Because we had a kitten named Dashun before!” Yuanyuan said, “Brother Xuanhe, just come! It’s currently sleeping on your trousers! The pair that Xiao Huang peed on when you were last here with Brother Yuanmu!”

Song Xuanhe was yanked to where Xiao Yuanmu had stayed. There was a ginger kitten near the rotten door, curled up into a ball. Perhaps because of the disturbance, it lazily opened its eyes, and looked towards Song Xuanhe.

“Meow~”

The little cat stood up, and treaded towards Song Xuanhe before rubbing itself on the hem of his trousers. It gave a soft cry, before tilting its head to meet his gaze. lRB0cC

Song Xuanhe called tentatively, “Er Shun.”

“Meow!” The cat raised its head, with all the naive innocence of a kitten.

Song Xuanhe chuckled, and hugged it.
