The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 66

Her past memories were chaotic and unbearable, making her knees slightly limp.

He held on to the wall for support and took a hasty step back.

However, Li Lei continued to look at him and approached him, "Why? What reason?" Instinctively, he knew this was the key to discovering his secret. At this moment, many things flashed through his mind – incredible singing talent, the sadness in the depths of his eyes, the unimaginable riding skills he showed at the Nan Shan equestrian club. . .

He wants to know everything about her.

But Xia Ling simply shook her head and continued to retreat in panic.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" He continued to look at her deeply, "Your reaction is really strange. For an artist, even a beginner who has just debuted .. You should get used to being in front of the camera. Moreover, Tan Ying and Wei Shaoyin had both told me that you experienced in front of the camera, better than many veteran artists. "

"So" he concluded, "you're not afraid of cameras, but of surveillance cameras."

He took two more steps helplessly.

He did not let her go and continued to suppress her, "The surveillance cameras are everywhere even as we walk along the road. No normal person had such a huge reaction in front of the surveillance cameras. What are you afraid of?"

"Stop asking!" Xia Ling's voice was hoarse as she continued to retreat. He could not see where he was going and fell into the big bed behind him.

He hurriedly tried to get up but Li Lei had already advanced, bowed and overstretched him with both of his hands on both sides of his body. "Xiao Ling," Her breathing was beside her ears, and her voice was low and seductive, "you're hiding something. Tell me."

"No .." He muttered weakly.

He was trapped by it. It had been a long time since he was this close to a man, so he could smell the dry, lingering smell of cigarette smoke on his body and feel its electrical pressure on him. It was unknown and had an inexplicable sense of danger, making him feel fear.

He slightly trembled and used both of his hands to try his hardest to push her. However, his chest was as strong as a rock and he did not move in the slightest.

"Let me go!" He finally shouted in despair, his voice trembling.

His deep eyes seemed interested staring intently into his eyes as he used his hands to raise his chin. While stroking his face gently, he continued to persuade, “Xiao Ling, alright, just tell me what it is.” He was always very good with girls and no one could resist his charm. At this moment, he had tore off all the harmless camouflage resemblance he usually maintained, showed little danger in his attitude, and was determined to get his way at all costs.

Xia Ling was starting to understand why everyone was afraid of her.

His body began to shake even harder. Being this close to a man was an unbearable torture for him. Pieces of the past began to appear in his mind again. He was imprisoned, locked up in a cage and tortured without mercy. . .

A cold sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became fast. He's getting dazed.

Suddenly, he felt his weight lift.

Li Lei has released him.

He did not want to waste time thinking and hurriedly stood up from the bed, half crawled, half dashed back to a corner of the room, and curled up with his back firmly against the cold wall. He looked at her warily, trying to take a big breath through panting.

Li Lei remained where he was in the same position as where he trapped him. Lying next to him, his disheveled white shirt fell apart with signs the woman had previously struggled, and the top button near the collar opened, showing her light brown skin and proportionate muscles underneath. He used one hand to support his head as he looked at her, his dark green eyes narrowed, emitting an air of laziness as well as danger.

After what seemed like an eternity, he took out a bed-ridden bathrobe and threw it carelessly, saying, "Wear this, the ground is cold." Although she wanted to find out her secret, seeing that she was Almost in tears, she felt sorry for him and let him go.

As Xia Ling subconsciously caught the bathrobe, it was only then that she realized that she was sitting on the ground, which was stiff and cold. He hugged the large bathrobe that was soft on his chest, but did not dare to move. He kept looking at her nervously and was completely alert.

Li Lei smiled and said gently, "Xiao Ling, the first time we met, I gave you a bouquet of flowers."

He remembered that it was a bouquet of shoe flowers that could change color.

He did not understand why he was raising this random topic.

Li Lei sat down and he hurriedly curled further away from him.

She kept smiling, "Don't be afraid, I didn't do anything to you, did I?" As she spoke, she continued the topic of flowers, "I feel that those flowers are perfect for you. Looking at you now, I'm right. Do you know what it means to receive hibiscus?"

He doesn't know, and doesn't want to know. He only hoped that the Big Boss in front of him now who seemed to have lost his mind would return to his friendly self. However, everything did not go as he wished. He heard her say slowly –

"It means beauty, elegance, and purity."

He looked at her confused. He's not one of those things.

He jumped off the topic of the flowers and moved on to another more elaborate one, "What if I don't agree to remove all the cameras?"

He felt his heart sink a little.

The man who looked at her looked so confident and sure of himself, and also very domineering.

Xia Ling suddenly remembered what the old head of the orphanage had told her, it had been a long time in the orphanage, "Son, my dear, no one in this world will be kind to you for no reason. One day when you leave this place, remember that the kindness others show you has limits. Never go beyond that limit. "

He was silent for a long time before finally stating, "Boss, I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll move soon." The memories imprisoned by Pei Ziheng were demons from his past. He couldn't be sure that he could maintain his sanity if he stayed in this room with all the surveillance cameras again.

Better to go.

Even if it was difficult, he would still find another place he could stay and hide from Pei Ziheng.

Li Lei raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect such an answer from Xia Ling. This girl was more sensitive and stubborn than she had imagined. He said in a carefree tone, "I mean if. Why are you so nervous? You have two options – one, you leave the camera, or two, you leave the road open to Er Mao so that he can come to patrol as he wishes. "

Xia Ling heaved a sigh of relief and said without hesitation, "I'll leave the way for Er Mao."

Just like that, the leopard had invaded his daily life. Every day, he would emerge from the hidden path and come to patrol his room as if he was the owner. Li Lei said, "Xiao Ling, this is a necessary precaution. You live next to me, which means the danger doesn't just come from Pei Ziheng. Actually, Pei Ziheng is not too much of a problem compared to some of my enemies. "

He thought of his identity – grandchildren of the Li family with connections to the underworld.

He understood that what he said was likely the truth. The security precautions here were targeted to his enemies in the underworld. As for Pei Ziheng, he happened to be protected against her because these precautions already existed. After all, even if Pei Ziheng had money and power, he was just an ordinary businessman. He doesn't fit in with the underworld when it comes to things like killing, arson and robbery.
