Maybe it's the shock of hearing those words come out of his own mouth, but Yao Shen wakes up with a start, sitting up in bed with a yelp, the sheets pooling around his waist, trapping him in place.
What kind of person sleeps with someone whose name they don't even know?
Worst, what kind of person sleeps with someone who doesn't even ask them their name?
Did Yao Shen do that just because the ghost kings wanted him to get something from Xin Hulei?
Reincarnation must really change a person, because Yao Shen can't imagine himself being so forward now.
Yao Shen would like to ask Xin Hulei directly, but the ghost kings' cryptic words held him back. Something tells him Xin Hulei wouldn't react well if he knew who Yao Shen was in his previous life, even with what happened between them.
It would be a shame to ruin the budding 'whatever' they have growing between them by digging up past life resentments.
