Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 181: It Must Have Hurt

Ding Yixin revealed an extremely gentle smile. "I will always believe you."

The tenderness he wove around Rong Xingyu formed an invisible net, it enclosing him within it and leaving him no way to escape.

And how could Rong Xingyu not believe Ding Yixin in return?

Without needing Ding Yixin to ask further, Rong Xingyu spoke in a daze, "I am Rong Xingyu, but at the same time I’m not Rong Xingyu."

What Rong Xingyu said sounded contradictory, as if the words conflicted with each other.

And after saying it, his expression became somewhat agitated.

Ding Yixin pressed a soothing kiss to Rong Xingyu’s forehead.

He lay down on the bed as well and extending his arm to pull Rong Xingyu into his embrace.

Their bodies pressed tightly together like this.

Ding Yixin had long known that Rong Xingyu carried secrets.

From the very first fleeting glimpse in front of the barbershop, Ding Yixin had developed a subtle interest in the young man named Rong Xingyu.

But when his subordinates later presented him with information about Rong Xingyu, Ding Yixin found it difficult to connect the obedient looking boy he had seen on the street corner that day with the rebellious "little devil" described in the files.

As Ding Yixin flipped through the information, seeing the "Rong Xingyu" with rainbow colored, gaudy hair, he couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop.

He had to admit that his interest in Rong Xingyu only grew stronger.

With Ding Yixin’s deliberate approach, as the real Rong Xingyu gradually revealed himself, Ding Yixin suddenly realized that he could no longer let go of this version of him.

What kind of experiences would a person have to go through to create such a world shaking contrast?

Although Ding Yixin faintly sensed that something was off, he truly hadn’t expected Rong Xingyu to give him such an answer, one that sounded utterly unbelievable.

Ding Yixin’s pupils shrank slightly and the smile on his face immediately faded.

What did he mean by not being Rong Xingyu?

Could it really be that he was a different person altogether?

It sounded absurd, but these words had come from Rong Xingyu’s own mouth and Rong Xingyu had previously promised Ding Yixin that he would never lie to him.

Seeing the change in Ding Yixin’s expression, Rong Xingyu immediately closed his mouth.

The muddled fog in his mind cleared in an instant.

Rong Xingyu suddenly felt a bit of regret over his actions.

He pressed his lips together, his thoughts turning chaotic as he wondered whether he shouldn’t have said anything at all.

No one would be able to accept a fantastical event akin to "possessing another body," let alone the fact that they themselves were merely a character within a book.

Seeing how tense Rong Xingyu looked, Ding Yixin raised his hand and gently smoothed the space between Rong Xingyu’s brows.

He gazed deeply into Rong Xingyu’s eyes and said in a low, steady voice, "I already told you, I believe you."

Ding Yixin’s expression was exceptionally serious, as though no matter what kind of "earth shattering" words Rong Xingyu might say next, he would still respond with complete and unquestioning trust.

Looking at Ding Yixin like this, Rong Xingyu felt his throat tighten.

If that was the case, then what was there left to hide from him?

Rong Xingyu couldn’t help licking his slightly dry lower lip and after he looked at Ding Yixin, he finally revealed his greatest secret.

"My original name was also Rong Xingyu, but I come from another world."

As Rong Xingyu spoke, he carefully watched Ding Yixin’s reaction every step of the way.

Yet Ding Yixin merely gazed at him gently, as if encouraging Rong Xingyu to continue.

Ding Yixin took hold of Rong Xingyu’s hand, threading his fingers through Rong Xingyu’s and interlocking them tightly.

"And then?" he asked.

Rong Xingyu’s heart suddenly wasn’t as tense as it had been moments before.

It felt like a long time since he had recalled that previous world. Speaking about his past life now gave him a distant, unreal feeling, as though it belonged to another lifetime entirely.

"In my previous world, I was in a car accident. When I woke up again, I was already here."

Ding Yixin’s brows furrowed as he caught the key point in Rong Xingyu’s words. "A car accident?"

Rong Xingyu nodded, his voice growing faint and drifting as he sank into his memories.

"There was a rich second generation kid who was drunk driving. He ran a red light and sped through an intersection," Rong Xingyu tugged at the corner of his mouth in a faint smile. "I just happened to be passing by and got hit."

"Come to think of it, I never even used to walk through that intersection. That day, I just took a detour for once, and that happened. I guess I was just too unlucky."

Even before Rong Xingyu finished his sentence, Ding Yixin already felt his heart tighten painfully.

So, he asked in a low careful voice, "It must have hurt a lot."

At those words, Rong Xingyu abruptly lifted his head and looked straight into Ding Yixin’s eyes.

He happened to meet Ding Yixin’s gaze filled with unmistakable heartache and when their eyes met, Rong Xingyu’s throat felt dry and tight.

Ding Yixin’s words sounded abrupt and out of context, yet Rong Xingyu understood exactly what he meant.

A sudden wave of grievance surged up in Rong Xingyu’s chest.

He couldn’t help biting his lip and only after a long while did he gently nod.

"It hurt," Rong Xingyu said, his voice choking.

How could it not have hurt?

The final memory from his previous life was of his body being struck by a car that had lost control, sent flying through the air, and then crashing heavily onto the ground.

At that time, Rong Xingyu lay there, feeling as though every bone in his body had been crushed.
