[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch36 - Looking for a Boyfriend

Song Xuanhe's eyelid twitched. The hand hanging at his side came up and rested on the car's door handle. He opened the door and looked up at Xiao Yuanmu. "What are you talking about?"

Song Xuanhe's lowered gaze looked pure and innocent, tinged with just the right amount of befuddlement. If it hadn't been for the fact that Xiao Yuanmu's gaze had been fixed on the other's face the whole time, he might have been deceived by this kind of inquisitive expression.

However, when he recalled the Song Xuanhe from that night, who had clung onto him with misty eyes, crying out softly for him not to leave, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes darkened. He looked away and said, "You were drunk after the reception last time. Do you not remember anything?"

"I don't." Song Xuanhe replied without any hesitation. He would never admit to remembering such an embarrassing thing. "I'll take you back. Get in."

Xiao Yuanmu glanced at him. Seeing the other's indifferent appearance, he bent at the waist and boarded the car.

After closing the passenger side door, Song Xuanhe let out an inaudible sigh. He then went around the car and got in through the driver's side.

"You're not coming back with me?" Xiao Yuanmu looked out the window with an insipid gaze.

Song Xuanhe didn't look up. "I have something to do."

Xiao Yuanmu turned to look at him, tone unchanging. "Something to do with the Song Family?"

Song Xuanhe's heart skipped, and he brought his guard up. He remembered that according to the original timeline, Xiao Yuanmu would probably soon find evidence of how the Song Family had bribed authorities for the sake of obtaining rights to a development zone. Him asking this question might be an attempt to gain additional chips while the Song Group was in a state of unrest.

When he thought of what Li Nianan had told him when she had transferred the shares to him, Song Xuanhe pursed his lips. No matter what, the Song Group could not fall so quickly.

"You're interested?" Song Xuanhe kept his eyes forward, keeping his voice casual.

Xiao Yuanmu naturally didn't miss the flash of vigilance on Song Xuanhe's face. The light in his eyes glinted slightly. The Song Xuanhe of his first life had treated him like he was a maggot. Therefore, he had never taken Xiao Yuanmu seriously. He had even foolishly left the door to his own study open. However, although the Song Xuanhe in this life seemed rude and unreasonable, he would always protect Xiao Yuanmu at a crucial moment. Based on that, it would be reasonable to assume that this Song Xuanhe cared about him. However, Xiao Yuanmu couldn't read his thoughts. All he knew was that Song Xuanhe was guarded against him and had his misgivings towards him.

The memories from his pre-rebirth self had quite an effect on him. If it weren't for the memories from the Xiao Yuanmu who had fallen for Song Xuanhe, he would probably have chosen to relax and rest for a while before returning to the Xiao Family rather than waste time here with Song Xuanhe. Just like the Song Xuanhe from his first life, both the Song Family and Song Xuanhe in this life were nothing but insects that could be crushed with his fists.

But, these memories were so deeply engraved that they constantly affected his mental state. They caused his plans to change.

Even after his memories had fused together, although he had known that Song Xuanhe didn't have any feelings for him—rather than feelings, the other seemed to be more on guard—those memories had still been unforgiving. They made him unable to leave with an easy heart. It was like the emotions that he had abandoned long ago had finally returned to him, making it so that his cool-headed brain would no longer be able to make decisions purely based on reason.
