Friction Makes Heat

"That's disgusting."

Tan Tong regretted saying those three words the moment they left his mouth.

He watched the light die in Qin Shenlin's eyes after the confession, and saw him turn and walk away without a backward glance.

Tan Tong stood frozen, as the bond between the two childhood friends was shattered for good.

Through four years of university and three years at work, Qin Shenlin never contacted Tan Tong again.

When Tan Tong happened to hear that he was engaged, he tossed and turned all night.

Countless nights, he dreamed of that day and wished he could say those words to him: I love you too.

After a car accident, Tan Tong returned to the day of his last chance encounter with Qin Shenlin during his senior year.

He wanted to make up for the mistake he had made as a teenager.

But when Qin Shenlin sneered at him and said, "Looking at you makes me physically sick. I feel like throwing up, you know?"

Tan Tong went pale as he watched Qin Shenlin kick the door open and leave.

His throat turned sour with blood.

The body damaged by the car accident warned him that he didn't have much time. If he couldn't say the words "I love you," then at least he had to tell him he was sorry...

Upcoming novel: Straight Guys Need to Be Bent from Kindergarten [Reborn]

On the day he was reborn, Rui Xingxing lay in his kindergarten bed and heard a piercing cry beside him. He turned and saw a face flushed pink and white.

It looked a little familiar.

Oh, it was the eldest son of the Qi family, who would acquire his family's business twenty-five years later.

Rui Xingxing and Qi Chang were childhood friends.

He really didn't like this pretty little tagalong.

If their villas weren't next to each other, Rui Xingxing would never be friends with a sissy... if only he'd known the sissy would grow to be six foot three twenty years later.

The crying beside him grew louder, and Rui Xingxing turned around.

"Stop crying."

Annoying.

Qi Chang hiccuped through his tears.

Rui Xingxing: ...

"Come here. I'll sleep with you."

Qi Chang's eyes lit up. He immediately toddled over the bed rail and crawled under Rui Xingxing's covers.

Rui Xingxing stared at the ceiling. If he started raising a kid now, maybe his family's business wouldn't go bankrupt twenty years from now

Huh? What's wet...

Rui Xingxing threw back the covers, his vision going dark.

"Qi Chang, you little brat, you're five and you still wet the bed!?"

Qi Chang's flirtatious eyes were clear and innocent. "Teacher says animals mark their things like this."
