Atlas woke up and looked at the person holding him. Instead of looking happy he seed worried. He knows that Shuyuan is Yixin and that he sohow followed him or his soul-flakes were in this universe.
But that worries him because in the end when he is finally free he doesn’t want to choose a universe to live in like Eden said, he wants to die for good. He doesn’t want to stay immortal or enter the circle of reincarnation.
Going back to his universe at the ti he left doesn’t interest him either he had no one there. All his parents cared about was running the company and they didn’t believe in him.
He was raised by strangers and he never felt love so what should he miss them? He just wants to be done with everything including life. If Er-Ge is a Whitlock like Cael he knows he’ll find a way to wake up from slumber.
Once he does he’ll expect them to stay together forever but it’s not going to happen. Even if he cares for him he doesn’t want to live anymore. Atlas reached out and caressed his cheek.
He won’t stress about this it’s useless, if he keeps following him he’ll just live good lives with him then he’ll make him understand. If he doesn’t then he doesn’t. He can’t force soone to understand what they don’t want to.
But if he truly loves him he will and he’s counting on that. Atlas felt better after making a plan. Once he found out Shuyuan was Er-Ge he beca anxious because he knows he’ll follow him forever, that man is stubborn and he loves so deeply.
He didn’t think he was the sa before eting him but he is. Or more like this man makes him feel deeply. Atlas pulled back his hand and closed his eyes again. He woke up an hour later when he felt Shuyuan holding onto him tighter.
He opened his eyes and t his lovely grey eyes. He loves how they change color based on his emotions. Right now they were a clear shade of grey and they sparkled. It was easy to tell that he was happy.
Shuyuan caressed his cheek and asked:
"Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"
Atlas sat up and before he could answer Shuyuan did too and started to massage his waist.
Atlas swallowed and his eyes softened. He pushed his hand away gently and said:
"It doesn’t hurt I’m okay."
Shuyuan looked slightly nervous, and Atlas felt like laughing. He finds it hilarious how domineering and scary to others he is but then with him, he’s like a puppy.
He never t soone who cares so much about his well-being and feelings, even his parents didn’t. Shuyuan asked:
"What are you doing today?"
Atlas murmured:
"Sicheng invited to his house for Christmas, he said he wants to et his wife."
Shuyuan frowned. Atlas asked:
"What’s wrong?"
Shuyuan ignored his question and asked:
"Why do you like Sicheng?"
Atlas thought a couple of seconds and said:
"He’s the first in my life who’s been nice to without wanting anything in exchange or with strings attached."
Atlas looked down and said:
"I feel like he acts as every father should."
Shuyuan furrowed brows deepened. Even though he knows Sicheng would never do anything to hurt Atlas or force him he doesn’t want Atlas to say yes just because he sees him as a father figure.
Atlas going through with the operation puts him in danger and Sicheng’s wife doesn’t deserve it. Honestly, he doesn’t understand how soone as smart as Sicheng can’t see Yinglun’s true nature.
He knows that she hates him because he told Sicheng to be careful and not to rush into marriage. Even if he did at least he was able to make sure that Yinglun signed a prenup.
He pulled Atlas on his lap and said:
"Even if at so point he isn’t in your life anymore I’ll be there."
Atlas looked at him surprised and asked:
"You want us to stay friends even after we’re done shooting?"
Shuyuan nodded but he just wanted to correct him and tell him that he’ll never leave him. When Atlas smiled he kissed his forehead devotedly. Atlas’s cheeks reddened and he looked away uncomfortable.
He can’t explain it but there are things Er-Ge does that make him feel more uncomfortable than other things that should. Like when he kisses him on the forehead, maybe because he knows that it’s a protective kiss and he feels safe with him.
Even after a lifeti with him he still feels the sa. Shuyuan’s eyes softened and he pulled Atlas to the shower. After showering they dressed and went to have breakfast. When they entered the dining room Atlas looked at the table weirdly.
Shuyuan’s eyes flashed in amusent and he asked:
"What?"
Atlas coughed and asked:
"Was the tablecloth changed?"
Shuyuan chuckled and he pulled him in his arms. After kissing him he said:
"It was baby."
Sicheng walked out of the elevator and entered the master bedroom. He looked at the beautiful woman looking at herself in the mirror with a smile. She had on a red dress and her long dark hair was cascading on her back.
She looked more beautiful than a model. Sicheng looked at her blue eyes and his smile widened. He hugged her from behind and complinted:
"You look, beautiful darling."
Yinglun smiled gently.
"Thank you, sweety."
She turned around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I can’t wait to et this Atlas, you’ve told so much about him."
Sicheng smiled.
"You and he have the sa blue eyes and they have that sa sparkle when you smile."
Yinglun joked:
"Do I have to be worried it seems like you love him more than he’s all you’ve been talking about?"
Sicheng chuckled. He kissed her and said:
"There’s no one I love more than you, I would do anything for you."
Yinglun looked down sadly and murmured:
"I wish I wasn’t so broken so we could spend the rest of our lives together."
Sicheng felt heartbroken seeing her like that. He lifted her head and swore:
"I told you I’ll find you a donor."
Yinglun said:
"You don’t have to say that Sicheng I’m already grateful we found each other again so I can have the couple of years I have left with you."
Sicheng held her face and said angrily:
"Stop saying things like that I don’t like it. I already told you I won’t give up until you’re safe. Do you understand?"
Yinglun nodded teary-eyed. Sicheng loosened his hold and said:
"I’m sorry I just... I can’t lose you."
Yinglun hugged him.
"I trust you I know you won’t let die."
Sicheng said determinedly:
"Never it doesn’t matter what I have to do I will."
Yinglun couldn’t stop herself from smiling. She knew she did the right thing by coming back to Sicheng. He has always been obsessed with her and when they were younger he was fun but let’s face it he wasn’t marriage material.
He was poor, he only worked in a talent agency as an assistant. So when she found out she was pregnant she broke up with him and put the baby in an orphanage. She married a wealthy man but when he died he left her nothing just because she cheated on him a couple of tis.
If that wasn’t already a lot she found out she was sick and needed a kidney transplant or she would die. She pretended to run into Sicheng and said that the only reason she left is that she was sick and didn’t want to burden him.
He believed her and they got close fast. She told him that she wanted to spend the few years she had left with him and he promised he would save her. Sicheng loves her even more than he did 20 years ago.
Yinglun knows that he’s been searching for a match since the waiting list is too long and he found Atlas. She’s glad he’ll finally tell him today after dinner. From the information, she saw that Sicheng received from his PD Atlas will be easy to convince.
Once she has his kidney she’ll divorce him and marry a rich man who won’t make her sign a prenup. She hates Shuyuan for getting involved but if being with Sicheng allows her to live longer she’ll pretend to be this weak damsel in distress.
