《Transmigrated as My Best Friend’s Ex》C18. You Are like a Stranger to Me Now
Advertisement
The door was slightly pushed opened. Han Mingxu was leaning against the door.
“Excuse me, could you knock at the door before you get in?”
“But no one would answer me even if I knock.” He handed the shower towel to Li Qinghao, “what do you want for dinner?”
The water drops flew all the way down his body, then splashed into the bathtub, making a nice melody. Li Qinghao caught the towel and dried his body before he wrapped it around his waist, “excuse me. Make way.”
“You should say thank you.” Han Mingxu raised his eyebrows.
“If I were a woman, I would be thinking you are flirting with me.” Shoveling away the man, Li Qinghao walked out of the bathroom. On the bed, there were a black vest, a white T-shirt, and a pair of black casual pants.
“What makes you think I wouldn’t flirt with a man?” Han Mingxu teased him as he was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom.
Pulling off the towel, Li Qinghao put on the clothes. The vest was suitably tight for him. The white T-shirt was off the shoulder, a bit loose for him. The black pants were fit for him. Everything brought out the sexiness of his body shape.
As he shook his head to get rid of water, he looked really hot.
“Are you into men?” He turned around. He was like an elf flying out of a foggy forest in the early morning. It made him much sexier.
“No, I am not.”
“So-What?!”
“What if I tell you that you are exception?”
“No man likes being mistaken as a woman.” He walked back to the bathroom and dried his hair.
Han Mingxu smelt the scent of shower gel. Or he preferred to take it as this man’s scent.

The phone on the bed was ringing. As Li Qinghao was still drying his hair, Han Mingxu walked to the bed and picked up Li Qinghao’s phone. It was a phone number that wasn’t saved before. But it was not a strange number for Han Mingxu because it was Nancheng Lie.
“It was from Lie?” He told.
Li Qinghao was still drying his hair although he was having a brainstorm already. Apparently Nancheng Lie should never make a phone call to him. Or maybe…Was it because the pickup line ‘long time no see’?
As he was hesitating, Han Mingxu already answered the phone for him as if he wanted Nancheng Lie to know on purpose that Qinghao was with him.
“Hello.”
“Hello. Is this Li Qinghao?” Nancheng Lie wasn’t sure about the voice over the phone. The man’s voice was calm but with passion indicating that he was in a good mood. But this kind of passion never belonged to Li Qinghao. “You are Xu.”
He sounded like Han Mingxu but why he answered Li Qinghao’s phone?
“Lie, it’s you.” Han Mingxu greeted, “Qinghao is having a bath. Is there any message you would like me to give him?” He meant to let him mistake them and obviously he enjoyed it.
“No. I’m all good. Tell him to call me back when he is done.” Having a bath? By him alone? Or did they do it together? Nancheng Lie couldn’t help thinking.
“Ok.” Han Mingxu was about to hung up the phone.
“Xu…” the man over the phone stopped him.
“Yes?”
“Have you, have you fallen in love with Li Qinghao?” As he asked, he clenched his fists.
Pfff…Han Mingxu couldn’t help laughing, “it is a difficult question. But anyway, I am kind of interested in him. After all, the men you slept with won’t be bad, right?”

“You… I feel like I don’t know you over the two years.” Han Mingxu went to Leiluo Kingdom after the gunshot. Every time he called Nancheng Lie, he would make up all kinds of excuses to hang up. What Han Chenglie didn’t know was that every time he hung up, Han Mingxue would linger there tasting his voice for a long time.
His heart hurt each time he missed him.
“Maybe since the day we met, you have never really got to know about me.” Han Mingxu said. It was true that he had been distancing Nancheng Lie in the body of Han Mingxu.
Because Nancheng Lie would be smart enough to find out that he was not the real Han Mingxu eventually if they spent too much time together. Then his throne to be the king of Leiluo Kingdom would be threatened.
Nancheng Lie had the power to change everything because his family was a business empire. Therefore the best way to deal with him was to keep a long but not too long distance from him.
Because…his smile even got bigger, because now he had made it clear that how important Han Mingxu was to Nancheng Li when he was lying with Li Qinghao in the woods using the body of Han Mingxu.
When that proud man held him and cried, he found out that Nancheng Lie loved Han Mingxu.
“You…” Nancheng Lie was heartbroken because of what Han Mingxu said.
“Lie…” Han Mingxu smiled because he was so good in the game, “when we were little, you like getting in my bed and holding me to sleep. I just miss those days.”
In the shower room, Li Qinghao’s face was as pale as cloth. Han Mingxu is at the Hospital.

"Listen you jerk, I wouldn't have even touched you if I wasn't drunk." I bit out furiously. "Even if you were the last man on earth I wouldn't go near you.""Is that so?" His voice was dangerously low."Besides I thought you were my fiancé. That was the only reason why I kissed you." I lied hoping my face didn't betray me.His eyes darkened and a muscle jumped on his jaw. He started walking towards me and I took a step back. Then another step and another until my back hit the wall. He was so close I could smell the cologne he wore.Fear trickled down my spine as I stared at his furious face. He looked as if he wanted to punch something. Or someone."What..what are you doing?" I stammered pressing my body further into the wall."Calling your bluff."His hand wrapped around my nape and pulled me against him. My eyes widened in shock as our bodies touched. Before I could say or do anything his mouth came crashing down on me.
8 207The Kiss of Two Moons
The last year is upon us. The world is ending, but you already knew that; everyone does. Spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed here in this small town with no name. Thousands of different colours now paint the field that had been coloured by frost alone just yesterday. The townsfolk have gathered by the field to celebrate the beginning of the last spring with so many smiling faces. Tears too. I can’t help but wonder whether the flowers will bloom again before the sky falls upon us. Others must be thinking the same. There are moments when the smiles fade and their eyes glaze over as they realize just how near to the end we are. They forget it again in moments. They make themselves forget. The children aren’t like that, though. They don’t seem to understand, or they’ve come to accept it in a way that their parents just can’t manage to. This one boy actually asked me why I was sad. I had to wonder whether he was actually aware that the world is ending, but it seemed wrong to mention it. I ended up just telling him that I was waiting for someone, and he scampered off, wearing a silly smile. I can’t help but feel jealous of him. The beginning of next spring; the day that the world ends. It seems so far away, yet so close. Wherever you are now, I have to ask, how are you spending your last spring? Did you get to see the flowers bloom? Did you smile? Did you cry?
