Afterlife Department

Chapter 54 - Mistake

Chapter 54 - Mistake

When Liang Lin became aware of everything around him, his family was split apart. He is just a product of a one-night stand between his parents. His mother was one of the actresses that managed to climbed on his father's bed. His mother schemed and let his father wear a cheap condom so that she could conceive a child. And she succeeded when she found out she's pregnant. His mother only wanted fame and wealth. His father only wanted a trophy to boast his image. Thus, he gave the woman fame and wealth – the things that she wanted. The woman gave him the thing that he liked – a submissive wife. The two got married. Like the normal couples are, the early years of their marriage was sweet and envious. Liang Jin became a doting husband while Su Xin acted as an obedient wife. However, all things must come to an end. They cannot suppress their vanity..

Liang Jin got bored of her, thus he resumed womanizing again. Su Xin was dissatisfied of Liang Jin because he's getting older, thus she wanted young men. The two equally cheated to each other. And Liang Lin, who can see everything his parents did since the two never hide their affairs, developed a misconception of love and marriage. Since even the law cannot stop them from cheating, then why still have the need to get married? Love can never repair a broken marriage especially when love has already faded from the two people's heart.

Liang Jin and Su Xin eventually divorced, and Liang Lin was left on Liang Jin. Entertainment world is a vanity fair, and as the one who will replace Liang Jin in the future, Liang Jin brought Liang Lin to the Tianxing Entertainment. He lost his virginity after Liang Jun gave him the secretary he had just finished a sex with. Liang Jin likes secretaries the most, and he wants to pass this to his son. Thus, he let his secretary teach Liang Lin how to have sex.

Liang Lin was shy at first, then later because of the secretary's expertise, Liang Lin enjoyed his first time. He even asked for a second round. Liang Jun was obviously satisfied with his son and he sent two more women – actresses this time, for his son to play with. One of the actresses was a virgin, but she was satisfied with Liang Lin's appearance and so she braved herself. She then regretted it. Liang Lin was just starting, thus he hurt her. But, the actress cannot complain or else she'll lose her resources.

After that and Liang Jun sent Liang Lin hope through Ah Xu. Liang Lin was stimulated of what happened. When he saw Ah Xu's appearance, his eyes suddenly changed. This man is so attractive. Can I have a go with him? He thought. Thus, he had his first time with Ah Xu. Since it was between both men, one has to be a bottom. Considering Ah Xu's built, Liang Lin bottomed. He was in pain at first, but later he felt pleasure. More pleasure than having sex with the women. Thus, he enjoyed his sex with Ah Xu, and have Ah Xu service him. When he asked Ah Xu why he is so skillful, Ah Xu answered that it isn't that he is skillful. He has to have knowledge in case something like this happened. It was also his first time with a man. They both soon discovered their body is compatible with each other.

However, as his relationship with Ah Xu continued, he finally asked Ah Xu to bottom once. However, Ah Xu refused. To retaliate, Liang Lin looked for some men. Then, he got addicted topping them. However, his heart was obviously still with Ah Xu. Because he never let anyone top him. When he finally saw Lei Shan, his desire to conquer increased and he wanted him. He also wants for Ah Xu to be jealous, thus he tried to conquer Lei Shan. After he saw Ah Xu still has no reaction, he got mad and discarded Lei Shan. He ignored Ah Xu again and hanged out in Tianxing Entertainment. Then, Lei Shan's murder finally came out.

Liang Lin was silent all the time as he sat on the defendant's seat. Even if Ah Xu was just beside him, but he never dared to look at him, nor talk to him. His eyes are dead, as well as his heart. When the verdict finally came out, he felt his heart finally became at peace. He ignored his father who was yelling and kicking beside him as the policemen escorted them out. Ah Xu was following behind him. When they went out of the court room, they were rained with curses from the crowd of people.

Suddenly, a bottle of acid came out of nowhere and hit his head. His head suddenly bled and the bottle of acid that broke was splashed on his chest, searing his skin, the muscles underneath until all his skin disappeared and revealed his bone, together with his beating heart. He heard someone screamed, and suddenly it became chaotic. Everyone flew in all directions and the policemen immediately called for an ambulance as they tried to stop the bleeding on his head.

Liang Lin felt himself slowly become numb in pain as his life leave him. He saw a shadow overhead and someone covered his chest, slightly scratching his heart. "I'm sorry." He heard Ah Xu whispered, but he felt it was all an illusion. How can Ah Xu apologize to him? He committed atrocious acts, and made him commit crimes. Now that he's going to die, he must be happy, right? A tear escaped from his eye and trickled down his cheek. He felt something mixed in with his tear, but he thought it was blood.

The policemen felt shocked when they saw Ah Xu was crying over Liang Lin's chest. He carefully wrapped Liang Lin with his jacket and hugged him gently. Then, he cried in anguish. He was repeatedly saying "I'm sorry.", but the one who he wanted to hear his apology already left this world. "I'm sorry. Ah Lin. Ah Lin – " he called as he wiped the blood off Liang Lin's cold and pale face, ignoring the dumbstruck faces in front of him. "Ah Lin. Answer me. Please… listen to me. I lied to you. Ah Lin – " he called. However, Liang Lin can never hear him. He didn't have a girlfriend, nor he was having a son. How can he have one of those two when ever since he saw Liang Lin, he already fell in love with him. He always turned a blind eye to Liang Lin's acts. He's beyond saving. However, when Liang Lin asked him his only wish, Ah Xu didn't let him. It's not because of pride. It's because of fear. He was afraid Liang Lin would get tired of him. He doesn't want Liang Lin to treat him like his male pets. He is afraid, if ever he gave Liang Lin his wish, their current relationship would be broken. He will be treated as his guard again. "Ah Lin…" he called to him. However, Liang Lin wouldn't hear him again. As Liang Lin asked him for his second and last wish, he felt his heart was crushed. Liang Lin doesn't want to see him again, thus he didn't even glance at him. Not even once even though they were just sitting beside each other. Ah Xu, on the other hand, had his eyes only on Liang Lin.

The reason he betrayed Liang Lin was because he met Lei Shan again. Yes, even though how absurd it was, but he believes in his own eyes. Lei Shan came back from the dead. Ah Xu agreed with them to confess to the police of Liang Lin and Liang Jin's crimes. However, Ah Xu asked for only one thing for them – to let Liang Lin reincarnate. Qi Shan saw Ah Xu's soul attribute through Connection. Thus, he agreed to Ah Xu's request in exchange for Ah Xu to work in Afterlife Department as a grim reaper when he died. Ah Xu doesn't understand what it is, but he nonetheless agreed. When he found out Liang Lin would lose his memories before he reincarnates, Ah Xu was relieved.

Liang Lin may have wished for them not to meet again in his (LL) next life, but that doesn't apply if Liang Lin already forgotten that wish of his. Ah Xu is this selfish. Thus, he agreed to Qi Shan's plan. Qi Shan was also happy. Ah Xu's power is formidable – just a step behind Lei Shan's power. In order not to let Ah Xu disrupt Lei Shan's fate in this world, Qi Shan would immediately bring Ah Xu's soul to the Afterlife Department when Ah Xu died. Then, he can continue his plan for Lei Shan to dominate this world.
