Lu Kai decided to watch the movie too, “Taking a rest?”

“Not at all,” Bing Shi shook her head. She lamented with a sigh, “I’m studying the art of movie-making. Just watch and you’ll see.”

A few moments later...

“??,” XiaoPu was this close to switching off the TV. He watched, upset, as his newly-found gem of a movie was being trash-talked by his host and her hubby. He’d been forced to listen to their trash-talking once the movie had started! Why couldn’t they just watch the movie without poking fun at everything unrealistic about it?!

Now he got to know why they wouldn’t watch movies a lot. Host and her hubby should stick to reading and gaming respectively! With a loud hmph, XiaoPu ran away angrily from the couple and into his room.

Lu Kai lifted his eyebrow at the fuming boy who ran to his room in bitterness, leaving them alone, “He’s not crying so much now.”

.....

Bing Shi followed Lu Kai’s gaze and snorted when she heard XiaoPu’s loud muttering through the room door, “Yeah.... You accepted him surprisingly well.”

“I find the systems fascinating...,” answered Lu Kai, engulfing her in a hug, “I miss Kuro and Sharkie.”

“Mm, what is taking Kuro so long?” Bing Shi lifted her gaze resolutely, “We have to save Sharkie too.”

Lu Kai flicked her forehead, “Sharkie wouldn’t like it. It probably reincarnated and found itself a big fat girlfriend.”



“Oh,” Bing Shi nodded in understanding. “Then we better leave Sharkie alone.”

It didn’t take long for XiaoPu to return with a paper and things listed down on it to counteract all of Bing Shi and Lu Kai’s trash talking. He seriously pointed out important things in the movie, and double checked that Bing Shi remembered to note down what he said.

Both Bing Shi and Lu Kai were smiling slightly as XiaoPu carefully pointed everything important out to them. They were both silent and serious when learning under XiaoPu; they liked to learn new things and since this was new, they figured they would take this seriously.

After all, acting in real life and acting in a movie were two different things. In the former, you would always be wearing a mask in public, and you could only take the facade off in private. In a movie, however, you had to layer on to your public facade carefully; it too, could not be taken off unless alone.

XiaoPu flew away from the host and her husband. He went to the scaredy-cat Mo Luwei to pour out his frustrations that were amassed continuously into a dense ball of unhappiness and bitterness from the three-day movie session with his host and her husband.

There was only so much trash-talking of his favourite movies that he could take before he’d really fly away from his host forever and cry another river into existence. He needed to get rid of his bitter emotions to the scapegoat-Luwei before he returned to his host. She had her first acting scene tomorrow.

He only hoped that Bing Shi wouldn’t forget her lines and fill in the gaps with her real self’s thinking. If she filled in the lines with her real essence... He didn’t dare think about it.

Whenever Bing Shi improvised on the spot, XiaoPu had to check the script thrice and then the recording twice to make sure she really changed her lines.

Her persuasive confidence would sway the audience into thinking that whatever she said was the valid facts; ‘the sky is red? Then it is red. Your dog died? Then it died, don’t think that the puppy sitting on your lap is the same one you saw this morning!’ Her mouth was a deadly weapon when it came to persuasion. He needed her to stick to the script; just in case she forgot her lines, he decided to be a good system and show her the script at the back of her mind.

“Do you think we’re soulmates?” Lu Kai asked as he buried his head into her back since she was laying on her stomach, and allowed himself to drown in her herbal scent.

He bit his inner cheeks as he contemplated the messy thoughts in his head. He wanted her to be happy, he really did. He wanted what was best for her so why... Why did it hurt him so much to know that they weren’t meant for each other?

Deep inside, darkly, he mused that it was because he stole her away from her real man. Guilt weighed heavy in his heart.

“Definitely,” Bing Shi responded with a nod of her head. Then, she paused to think, and she shook her head after,” Wait, no. Who needs a soulmate? I’d do perfectly fine without one.”

Lu Kai peered at the back of her head. With each word Bing Shi said, his heart wobbled like it was on a tightrope.

Oblivious to his stare, Bing Shi carried on talking, “Everything is your fault. You contaminated me with your sick obsession-”

Lu Kai interrupted her joking by smacking at her bum with a sigh. “Ouuuuch!” Bing Shi cried out as he slid down her pants and meanly bit at her buttcheek. This woman... really...

That time when they tried to recover Xue Bi’s lifetime... he saw it: Xue Bi was laughing with another man. Xue Bi was leaning into the man like she was swooping in for a hug -but really she just couldn’t hear what he was saying- and Lu Kai couldn’t take the vicious jealousy that clawed at him from inside.

Though Bing Shi didn’t remember those memories since he locked them away instantly... behind her back. Even though the memories had been taken care of, why would he still feel irritated?

“My buuuummm..... Ohhh, ouch!” Bing Shi groaned aloud as she tried to pathetically crawl away from Lu Kai. But alas, she was trapped underneath his body, and there was only so far that she could go on a couch.

Lu Kai bit once more unto her cheek, then he moved his head to bite at the other cheek; this made Bing Shi misunderstand and think they were only playing around.

“My bad, my bad! I didn’t mean it! Everything is my fault, I’m sorrryyyyy. We’re soulmates- or kindred souls, maybe twin flames! Whatever suits you best!” She cried out as Lu Kai angrily nom away at her buttocks.

“Right, everything is your fault. Who told you to be so pretty...” Sucking on her skin, he knew that it wasn’t her wrong. It wasn’t her fault that her parent’s genetics were so good, and she inherited the best of both worlds, but he was irritated. Logic was damned at this moment. He was holding in all his insecurity and grievances on the inside until now, “And delicious...”

The HQ explained that she was someone else’s soulmate. That someone else was his brother, and Lu Kai could unwillingly see why. Some soulmates needed to go through trials and tribulations to nurture their bond, but these two seemed to work it out perfectly from the get-go.

They moulded around the other like two fitting puzzles made only for each other, which made something inside of him rear its ugly head.

There was a big gap between the time he met her as little monster and the nun. He had tried to find the missing gap, but he had no answers that satisfied him. The HQ refused to give him an answer on why this gap was there, or how it came to be. They didn’t even give him enough face to outline what happened during this gap.





Either way, he feared not knowing what happened during that gap. At the same time, he feared what he would come to know should he be granted that knowledge. Where was Bing Shi during those eight lifetimes, and who else was she with? If he was hopeful, he would think she’d been with no one else, but being who he was...

The tighter Lu Kai clung to the image of her being happier with someone other than himself, the deeper it cut through his heart. His mind’s chaotic imagery was his downfall. Imagination could be far worse than reality.

From Bai Meili, he knew how affected one could be by a soulmate. The feeling one got from having a soulmate was impulsive. It would make one reckless; it was comparable to Quin Yu when he took an interest in Aoi Hong. Bai Meili stopped appearing in his fifth lifetime. This should be around the time when Bei Meili became a host.
