Quick Transmigration: Host Dada, This system can't keep up!

The Ex-Superstar's Alien Fan (8)

After all, who would expect that such a mild mannered man was actually an emotionless and cruel sociopath on the inside.

...

The story of Hu Xing was one filled with anguish and tragedy. Originally growing up in a loving home, Hu Xing was a lovely and gifted child but this happiness was short lived when at the age of ten his father walked out and left him, his younger sibling, and his mother to fend for themselves.

His mother drowned herself in grief and alcohol. The originally cheerful house became filled with the stench of booze and human filth as his mother wailed in anguish, however, this was only the beginning. After her grief subsided, his mother began to view her children as eye sores because they reminded her too much of their no good father. Her eyes that used to look at them with love turned to look at them with deep hatred. Sensing this despite his young nature, Hu Xing began to busy himself with odd jobs in order to get him out of the house. While his main goal was to get out of the house, his paychecks also stabilized the financial discrepancies within the house. With this, the house finally settled down and the trashed house returned to its previous clean state. Until one day, Hu Xing came home to find his mother standing over the mangled corpse of his younger sibling with a knife, laughing with glee. This was the happiest he had seen his mother since their father left.

Appalled by the sight, Hu Xing did the first thing he could think of and ran away from the sight. With nothing but the clothes on his back, Hu Xing became effectively homeless. From there, Hu Xing slept underneath bridges and survived off of the welfare of older homeless people there and what little money he could get through odd jobs.

This continued until one day he was taken away by a human trafficking group, it turns out those well farers that taught him the ropes to homelessness had sold him off for a measly one thousand dollars. He watched the glee in their eyes as they divided the money while he was stuffed into a van. From there, Hu Xing lived a life worse than a dog, with unspeakable things happening to him daily. This continued until his eighteenth birthday when his owner thought he became too old and set him free.

After that, he successfully entered the entertainment circle and climbed from the pits of hell to the pinnacle of life. However, his past had left a scar on him and made him into a cold, cynical, and dangerous person. In the entertainment circle, cold faced people were only well received when they had insanely beautiful faces (which Hu Xing did not) so in order to gain popularity Hu Xing learned to hide his true self underneath a gentle smile. This demeanor had been carried with him for over ten years and became second nature to him.

As such, Hu Xing kept up this demeanor while inwardly being cynical and unfeeling even in the hardships of the alien invasion. He was able to smile gently even as he watched his comrades continue to be brutally torn apart limb by limb.

His favorability for everyone remained around the same range. Even the leader of the alien race was not an exception to this and only had a favorability of -85. Even some people who were barely acquainted with Hu Xing had lower favorability values than Bai Wei. The only outlier was Du Chengming and this was due to Hu Xing finding the other easy to manipulate and unintentionally lowering his guard.

After reading through his backstory, Hai and Liu were uncharacteristically quiet for a while as they processed everything. After a while, Hai gathered its thoughts and asked {Why don't you imitate Du Chengming's example in order to raise his favorability?}

'Because I am the leader of the alien race that invaded their home. He already knows that I am not harmless and will not lower his guard no matter how gullible I seem.'

{Okay, then why did you threaten him?}

'In order to show my capabilities. He grew up under the premise of a dog eats dog world, the only way to get him to lower his guard is to first show him my capabilities and secondly shower him with kindness and unconditional affection. Without this first step, no matter how nice or kind i am. He will always be under the impression that i am only nice to him because I need something from him.'

[...That's messed up]

'Yeah...'

Despite his pretending, Bai Wei still felt truly regretful as he fiddled with the rings in his hand. They were an exact copy of his and Jiang Long's wedding bands from their previous life. Though he expected as much after seeing his lover's vastly different personality in this world, it still hurt him to know that his lover had none of the memories of their previous life together.

Bai Wei had immediately recognized his lover upon meeting him in this world. Not only through his appearance but also his small habits that only someone like Bai Wei who had accompanied the other for a plethora of years would recognize. Even if his lover didn't know him anymore, it was good to see him again. Bai Wei had originally thought he would never see the other person again ,but to meet the other in this way was truly a lucky feat. It would seem that he would need to watch out for falling ladders and spilled paint in the future as he had used up all his luck to meet his beloved once again.

Bai Wei's thoughts came to a sudden halt as he felt weight on the other side of the bed as Hu Xing laid down to sleep. Bai Wei felt a mixture of awe and pity at his lovers ability to adapt to situations in this life. It would seem that once everything was sorted out he would need to shower this person with all the love he could muster.

The two quickly fell asleep for real as their backs faced each other. Unbeknownst to the other, this had been the best sleep both of them had had in a long time. Both woke up refreshed and prepared their next act for one another with rigor.
