Chapter 181 - Meeting the brat

Chapter 181: Chapter 181 - Meeting the brat

Eric tightly closed his eyes. In a whirl, he felt his whole soul being sucked away. It was just like when he actually died in his past life. Colorful swirly path formed in front of his eyes.

Eyes wide opened he watched the new astral world.

White light surrounded him in all directions. Only the bright-colored pathway stood in front of him. he walked through the pathway reaching the brighter light at the end of the pathway.

"system......how can I talk to Aaron?" he excitedly looked around. he couldn’t help but smile like a love-sick fool.

he had seen many people lovelorn in movies and thought were silly. but now that he was in that same position, he realized what kind of feeling goes on inside waiting to meet a loved one.

"When will he get here?"

Eric had been walking for a while but he had reached his destination. he still couldn’t see Aaron anywhere around.

{’you will see him soon,’}

Smirking Eric excitedly looked around. "How do I look? presentable?" He hurriedly fixed his hair. In his soul form, he looked just like he did in the system space. He was in his real form.

"Do you think he will recognize me? Zhu kang looked part like me but I do look different...." He whispered excitedly fussed with his clothes and hair.

All of a sudden, the colorful pathway disappeared. And at the end of it a figure appeared, shrouded in darkness. he was not able to see his face.

tears instantly formed in his eyes. his heart started to pound loudly in his ears. ’Aaron....’

He ran to him and hugged him tightly nuzzling into his sturdy chest. His lover’s heartbeat echoed in his ears. This gave him a feeling of comfort and happiness that he missed so much.

"Aaron.... Aaron, I missed you so much. Did you miss me too? I’m so sorry I left you early. Just wait a bit, okay I will come find you. All you have to do is wait patiently. Don’t you dare think of having anyone else? Or... or I will punch you."

Aaron placed a hand on his shoulders and pushed him away from him a bit.

"wait, let me hug you for a bit." He scrambled close and hugged his waist. "Why are you so thin? Didn’t you eat properly? I want you to stay healthy until I come back, okay? You can’t be lax about your health."

Aaron once again pushed him away a bit.

"do you want a kiss? You can just tell me that...." he looked up. But he suddenly froze.

the man standing in front of him was not Aaron. He had dark jet black hair. his deep black eyes peered at him with a slight frown. He had thick black circles under his eyes. "who are you? How are you able to talk to me like this?" the man’s mouth was down turned into a frown as he peered down at him.

Eric instantly backed away. "um.... Who are you?"

"I’m Bai Yuri. who are you?"

"Huh?" Eric looked around in surprise. He did not see anyone else. "I’m supposed to meet my lover here... not you...." He frowned deeply.

To think that he was hugging another person made his skin crawl slightly.

The guy named Bai Yuri just looked at him in surprise. "How did you find me here? Who are you?"

"I’m Eric.... Look I’m supposed to be meeting someone else in here. Not you. So just go one your way. shoo shoo" He gestured for him to leave.

The man looked stunned. His upturned eyes glared at him deeply. "You are in my dreams. I should be the one chasing you away!"

"Huh? I’m not in your dreams." he scoffed. "I’m in my lover’s dreams." Eric walked up to him and poked his chest. "you brat, are not my lover. so go and make space for my Aaron."

The young man looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. Even at this ripe age, he learned to glare at people.

It was not pleasant at all.

Eric glared at him up and down. "System! Where is my Aaron? Why is he not here? who is this brat? Is he your love child or something?"

"Watch it! Don’t you dare talk bad about my mother!" the brat growled at him.

"Jeez kid. I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to the system. can you just shut up for a while."

"no! you... you crazy man. you are the one who is disrupting my dreams. Now go!"

"what.... you...!"

All of a sudden Eric was pushed out of the white world.

he woke up in the small room again. Panting, he looked around disoriented. "What the heck was that? Hey, system! You come out here."

{’yes,’}

"Where is my Aaron? I wanted to meet him. Instead, there was a black-haired brat who kept glaring at him."

{’.......’}

"Ohh you cheat! You took my coins and you gave me a fake product. Take me to Aaron right now!" he flayed around in frustration.

He was so desperate to find his lover but, in the end, he was left with disappointment. Plus, that kid, also glared at him and chased him out of his dreams. It was not fun at all.

Not cute as well!

"Where is my Aaron!"

{’that was your Aaron.’}

"Huh?" Eric laughed out loud. "you’re really good at joking my dear system. That kid is my not my handsome Aaron....I have eyes"

{’ that was Aaron. The system has completed the part of the bargain. You have met him,’}

Eric stared to bite his lips anxiously. "what are you talking about? That is not my Aaron. My Aaron is tall, white-haired, and blue-eyed hunk. You can’t just show me a black-haired runt and expect me to be cheated. You Fucker...."

{’ that was Aaron...’}

The system repeated again and again.

Eric’s anxiety hit the max. he walked around the room biting his finger nails. "no...... he...."

{’that was Aaron’s reincarnation. I can definitely recognize his soul.’}

He immediately froze, his legs went numb and he fell to the cold ground. "What do you mean? His... his soul?"

{’That black-haired kid was Aaron’s soul.’}

"you don’t mean...... no it can’t be... don’t tell me"

{’Aaron passed away’}

"Bullshit!!! How can Aaron... no! I don’t believe this!!! You liar! Aaron couldn’t have died!! He was healthy! And... and you said time passes differently! He must be at least forty or something! How can he pass away at such a young age? He was healthy! He was healthy as a horse!!!!"

{’he was heartbroken and passed away the next day you left the world.’}

Eric’s heart almost stopped at that moment. He hugged himself tightly. he shook his head in disbelief. "no.... no....’

{’ the sooner you get used to the idea, the faster you can recover for loss host. The Aaron, you know, is dead. He was reborn into another person.’}

Eric grabbed his hair desperately. "no......my Aaron... my Aaron...."

Tears trickled down his face hitting his bent knees. "he is dead?"

{’yes.’}

"he is really dead...."

{’yes....’}

Eric shot up. "No that can’t be. I won’t believe it. Refuse to believe that Aaron is dead. My Aaron is powerful. Heh won’t just die...... he..." he placed a hand on his pounding Heart. "heartbreak... he was heartbroken when he died?"

Uncontrollable sobs escaped his body. He convulsed on the ground hugging himself. "Aaron.... Aaron."

{’host, don’t cry......’}

Like a broken doll he laid on the ground peering up at the ceiling. "System...."

{’yes?’}

Tears blinded his vision. Eric hurriedly wiped them away. "Was he in too much pain?"

{....he went to sleep and didn’t wake up the next day}

"NO!!! don’t.... don’t answer that. He... he must have been in so much pain. I could only imagine.... Waking up to a cold corpse.... Even I would have been heartbroken..." he whimpered. "system, you said I could go to him... why did you lie to me? Why did you lie that he was waiting for me? Why!!!"

{’it was not a lie. He is waiting for you. Even though he looks different, he is still your lover.’}

Sobbing Eric sat up. "Bullshit! He can’t even remember me!!!! You fucker! You fucking cheat!!!"

{’he will...... with a little bit of persuasion, he will.’}

"Fucker, shut up!" he rolled himself into the blanket.

All if a sudden he saw the black shadow return again. This time the boy didn’t sharpen the mirror shard. Instead, he sat next to him gently trying to pat his head.

Eric looked up at him. "You are dead too, right? Did it hurt when you died?"

The shadow shook his head but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded.

"oh god, my Aaron. My poor Aaron must have been in so much pain. He took his own life. Gods.... Why... why must you hurt my darling like that...." He wailed hugging the blanket tightly.

{’host....’}

"Shut up! cheater! Don’t ever Talk to me. I won’t ever do any of your tasks! World be darned! I don’t fucking care if I live or not. I... only wanted my Aaron. Now it’s not even possible. He is dead...."

He continued crying heartbrokenly.

The system tried its best to placate him. {’host your lover is still alive. Don’t you want to see him? Just like you, he too has changed his body. Will you hate him because of that? You can’t just give up on your Aaron, right?"}

"Who said I’m giving up...... my Aaron might not remember me but I remember him. He, he does look like a smug brat, but its okay. I can handle that. He is my lover, after all. Where is he now?"

{’he is in this world as well. So, work hard host. You will get to meet him soon.’}

"Good, good. I will see him again. That brat. How can he forget me? I will haunt his dreams every day until he can’t forget about me. System from today we are invading his dreams every day. He is not allowed to forget about me. Never... I won’t let that happen,"
