The Rebirth of a Diva

The Rebirth of a Diva
Episode 20's



He seemed to understand why that ferocious creature was named Er Mao. When it wasn't fished, it seemed a completely different creature than the one he faced yesterday.


Finally, when the two of them rolled around and left a trail of mud on the ground, they returned to the fire. Xia Ling realized that Li Lei's wound seemed to have opened, and the air around him started to smell blood. He unbuttoned the bandage around his stomach and began treating his wounds, appearing more skilled than a medical professional.


Er Mao lazily lay down beside him, head leaning on his front paws and eyes half closed as if he had fallen asleep. Xia Ling was not sure if her premonition was right, but she felt her line of sight never left her. Yet it was not the slightest bit interested in the smell of blood coming from its owner. It seemed like he could really tell what he should and should not eat.


Li Lei cleaned the dried blood around the wound without even batting an eye. Xia Ling felt pain just by looking at it, yet she acted as if it was nothing – there was no trace of pain on her face. He even convinced her while cleaning her wound. "Now there is a storm and Er Mao is here because of worry about me. Since you're wearing my clothes, it won't hurt you."


However, he was not at all sure of his words. The way the leopard measured him did not seem friendly, and he felt it could pounce and kill him at any time.


Xia Ling took a deep breath and gathered the courage to make a sound. "Boss, I'll take a break first."


Li Lei looked at him, and then at Er Mao. He gave up trying to encourage peaceful coexistence between the two of them. "Forget it, please .. It really doesn't bite."


Xia Ling did not waver as she left.


Old Chen, who was at the mouth of the cave, was not surprised to see him walk out. He smiled saying, "Miss, come and warm yourself with fire. I saw Er Mao just come in and guessed that you were going out."


"Oh?" He looked at her, confused.


Old Chen used twigs and dried branches to take care of the fire. "The "leopard Young Master grew up eating meat and meat. Although it usually doesn't attack people, it's still a wild animal, and most people can't stand to live around it." Old Chen was not part of Skyart Entertainment, he was the servant of the Li family, so he only knew Li Lei as the Young Master and not the Boss.


"Then are you afraid?" Xia Ling asked casually.


Surprisingly, Old Chen shook his head. "I was initially scared, but after learning that Er Mao had saved Young Master's life a few times, I wasn't so scared anymore. Miss, let me tell you, this leopard has spiritual properties, and such an animal does not attack however. "


“Ya.” He admitted half-heartedly as he looked across the fire to the view of the rain outside the cave.


He thinks to himself. No wonder Li Lei was so happy to see the leopard. His expression was softer than when he faced her. After dabbling in the entertainment industry his entire life, he was smart enough to say that even though Li Lei was polite and kind to him, he did not care much about him. However, when he saw the leopard, the tenderness and love he expressed towards him was truly sincere.

Oh well, so in Boss' eyes, he couldn't even hold a candle to the leopard.


It was raining heavily outside the cave, and after sitting by the fire for a long time, he finally felt a sense of warmth. Xia Ling leaned her head against the cave wall and fell asleep, but in her subconscious, she was dreaming of something, so she could not sleep well. The wound on his shoulder started to hurt a little. He threw and turned his sleep around, the discomfort getting different, but still, he refused to get up.


Some time passed before someone called his name. It was a soft, almost seductive voice.


He mumbled softly. "Brother Pei ..." He dreamed of Pei Ziheng's gentle and handsome face. He was young when he overextended himself during training and came down with a high fever. The family clinic happened to be closed that day, and at two in the morning, Pei Ziheng took her to the hospital. They were the only people in the emergency room in the middle of the night, and he had taken off his coat to wrap it up. He remembered him foolishly humming a tone as they waited.


At that moment, Xia Ling criticized her singing and thought that she was comforting her like a child.


Twelve-year-old Xia Ling frowned as she told him to stop singing. He told her seriously. “Brother Pei, I am an adult, do not treat me like a child again.” Back then, his sister, Xia Yu, always called him Brother Ziheng, while he only called him Brother Pei. When they became a couple after that, he only addressed her as Ziheng.


Therefore, from then on, he never heard her sing again.


Therefore, from then on, he never heard her sing again.


But now, he really hoped to go back to the time when he was tugging at his sleeve and said, "Singing another song for me …"


Half-conscious, he seemed to hear a voice. It was disconnected and disjointed, just like his memory. But it was in these notes and melodies that he was finally able to calm down, finally sound asleep.


When she woke up, Xia Ling found herself in the car.


Night had arrived, the shadows from the trees along the side of the road stretched across the car. It was very quiet inside the car, but when the dim street lights peered inside, it revealed the handsome face of the man holding it.


It was Li Lei.


He put it on his lap and his eyes closed, probably asleep. His head was leaning against the car seat, his long lashes casting a faint shadow under his eyes. The picture he saw had a little less life than during the day, but was much softer.


He's a really interesting guy.


Xia Ling gasped a little and she felt it immediately. He opened his eyes and glanced at her, smiling, "Why are you so fast? How do you feel, are you in discomfort?" His deep dark green eyes were so full of life that it looked like a starry night sky.

Only then did he realize that he felt cold despite being wrapped in a thick blanket and a warm towel on his forehead. He opened his mouth but had difficulty speaking, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely recognize it as his own. "What ... happened to me?"


"You have a fever" he answered lightly. "To have you take off your soaked clothes, but you refuse to listen. You're so stubborn despite being soaked in rain .. serve you right that this happens." He was being harsh with his words, but in the meantime, his hands never stopped working, helping him a little and holding a cup of water to his lips. "Drink . "


He drank a few sips of water; it was actually warm. He wondered how they could get warm water in the car.


He seemed to have noticed his confusion and said, "You've had a fever this afternoon when we sought shelter from the rain in the cave. Seeing you unconscious, I had no choice but to ask Old Chen to contact the emergency team on the mountain. As soon as the rain stops, they come to take you with all the medical supplies. "


"Thank you .." Her throat was tense.


"What's there to thank me for, I'm your boss. I heard from Tan Ying that you are still a beginner. If something happens to you, where do all the resources we've pumped go?" He's kidding.


He was a little confused listening to her. So, she took care of him because of that?


The rich are such jerks.
