Lai Mingjie tore his eyes open again as soon as he heard his alarm. His eyes flickered as he was momentarily disoriented when he grew conscious once again. He flattened his palms on his face and barely recalled the events that happened last night. Right, he went out with Director Cheng to have a drink... then, he ditched him on his way home.

That maniacal laughter that haunted him for more than a hundred thousand years sounded so fresh. He heard it again last night, but he wasn't his enemy. Xu Rouguang saved him from those goons.
"Fuck." He suddenly got up from his bed. How come he was home when he didn't make it back last night? Did Xu Rouguang take him here? How did he know where he lives? Better yet... why wasn't he sore? Well, of course, from getting beaten up...
