To Rise Again in the Apocalypse

Episode 2.2

Episode 2.2

Jul 19, 2019

She exuded power as she entered the room. She was so put together except for the fact that she was carrying what looked like a plastic bag on her other hand.

"Hua-jie! You came!" with a look of relief, Li XinWen greeted the elder female as he tried to cover his emotions from earlier with a smile. He was grateful that Li JingHua arrived when she did, otherwise, he didn't know what he would have done to Xue Rui. But Li JingHua's reaction was not what Li XinWen expected. In the original's memories, Li JingHua always treated him kindly no matter what, which made the original feel guilty for being forced to climb into bed with her fiance. Li XinWen saw disdain in her gaze which quickly disappeared. ‘Is Li JingHua aware of her fiance's infidelity and indecent relationship with her brother?’ Li XinWen started to get worried.

Li JingHua approached Li XinWen's bed and gave him a short but heartfelt embrace. She set her envelope clutch on the table beside Li XinWen's hospital bed and affectionately caressed her brother's cheek.

"Ah'Wen, I am so glad that you have finally awakened. How are you feeling? I bought your favorite milk chocolate for you," Li JingHua said smiling as she held up the plastic bag she was holding.

"Thank you, Hua-jie!" Li XinWen smiled, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

He wondered whether the look of disdain earlier was just his imagination, or he was reading too much into it. After being betrayed once, it usually is hard to trust again. But Li XinWen prayed that it was just his imagination since the original really treasured his sister very much and he was looking forward to experiencing how it is to have a family.

"Let your sister help you," she said in a gentle tone. Li JingHua reached for the button to prop up Li XinWen's hospital bed. Although she was aware of Xue Rui's presence, not once did she glance at Xue Rui's direction. After retrieving the bottle of milk chocolate from the plastic bag, she removed the bottle cap and inserted a straw before handing it to Li XinWen.

Standing by the foot of Li XinWen's bed, Xue Rui observed the exchange between brother and sister. And decided he was in the mood to tease Li JingHua.

"My dear JingHua, do I not deserve a little bit of your attention as your fiancé?" he said smiling, almost lovingly.

At Xue Rui's remark, Li XinWen looked up at his sister and for a brief second noticed an annoyed expression on her face. Li JingHua turned to Xue Rui with a forced smile and responded with a hint of sarcasm "Darling, you seem to be in high spirits. I don't believe you need any of my attention in this setting."

She slowly approached her fiancé and pretended to plant a kiss on Xue Rui's cheek, whispering low enough and out of Li XinWen's earshot "Haven't you had your fill of Li XinWen before I arrived?"

Li XinWen is a cultivator as well as a peak master of Soaring Heaven Sect. Having obtained a treasure that made even his fellow sect members turn green-eyed, Li XinWen was betrayed and had everything taken away from him. Years of cultivation gone for naughts in the face of death and yet, his soul is unwilling to let everything go.

The next time he opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar world, in an unfamiliar body. By coincidence or fate, the body he's inhibiting was also called Li XinWen. Except, this Li XinWen is a mortal and an actor at that! The master cultivator then decided that since he had been given second chance, he may as well use it.
