Why Do I Wake up as a Cheater Every Time?

On the third time he was going to see the King of Hell, Qin Yuyang was calm, thinking on his toes that he wouldn’t die so easily.

He even had the mood to guess what scene he would wake up in and who would be around him.

But this time, it seems that his guess was wrong and he was surprised.

He appeared in a hotel-styled room and for the time being, he wasn’t able to see anything.

He turned his head and looked around, there was no one around him. Only he himself was on the spacious big bed.

The room was so quiet, there must be no one in the bathroom.

‘What a rare and refreshing beginning.’ Qin Yuyang thought to himself.

He then hears a phone vibrating on the bedside table. Qin Yuyang was still waiting for the memory of the original owner at this time, so he didn’t rush to answer the phone.

However, the other party persevered and called two times in a row.

Qin Yuyang casually took over the phone, glanced at it and his eyes immediately focused. On the familiar mobile phone screen1 there were two familiar words. Wasn’t the one calling him his big brother Shao Fei?

“Damn…”

Feeling that his sleepwalking has finally ended, Qin Yuyang jumped up from his bed and knelt down to answer the phone, “…Shao Fei?” Was it really him?

“Oh, damn. It’s already this time and you still haven’t woken up yet?” Shao Fei looked at the time and it was one o’clock in the afternoon, “Aren’t you hungry?” 

Really, this kid didn’t even drink much last night.

It was really the voice of his eldest brother. Qin Yuyang was so excited that he almost cried. It was really not that easy to keep his composure, “I’m hungry, I really am. I’m starving to death.” 

He then got out of bed, went into the bathroom and said, “Come to the hotel to pick me up and go to dinner with me. I want to see you now.” 

“Okay, I’ll go over now.”

Twenty minutes later, Qin Yuyang tidied himself up and accepted the fact that he had returned to his real life.

He couldn’t describe his mood. He was excited, that’s for sure. But a small part in his heart was soft enough that it made him want to cry.

It was undoubtedly good news for him. If he could live with the person he likes forever, it will be perfect.

After Shao Fei arrived, Qin Yuyang got into his car and listened to his nagging about the previous night’s scene. Everything that happened seemed like it was just yesterday.

No one knew what Qin Yuyang experienced that night.

“I say, you’re too greedy.” Shao Fei looked at him all slumped up and laughed, “Did I drink any less than you last night?” He also drank a lot but he was still alive and well the next day.

“Shao Fei, you don’t understand.” Qin Yuyang said and sighed.

“What? Did spring finally come for you1Did he finally fall in love??” Shao Fei glanced at the person next to him. His good brother was blessed with wealth and good looks but his attraction towards the opposite gender was a bit lacking.

His relationship with this guy is good and the other person’s popularity is also particularly good. 

Otherwise, how could he be willing to be called by him…

Qin Yuyang shook his head and then nodded, “Maybe.”

Shao Fei’s hand shook and he almost drove into a ditch. What does ‘Maybe’ mean? Did spring really come for him?

“Which beautiful woman was lucky enough to have caught your attention?” 

Qin Yuyang is recognized as one of the top ten desired young bachelors. Although he also smokes, drinks and goes out to bars, he’s generous in treating food, drink, and having fun.

“Drive your car, I’m starving to death.” Qin Yuyang didn’t want to talk anymore, he fell into a trance.

So Shao Fei closed his mouth, took the ancestor to eat a full meal and sent him back home.

Seeing his familiar home, Qin Yuyang finally knew that he had fully gone back.

What happened before, was it a dream?

His heart hurts so badly, yet he couldn’t say anything.

“You didn’t go home last night eh? Who did you fool around with last night?” Mother Qin was drinking afternoon tea at home with a female friend. When she saw her son entering the door, she became angry.

“Mom, Aunt Chen.” Qin Yuyang greeted as he entered the door.

“I have something to tell you, come here.” Mother Qin beckoned to him, “There’s an important task for you to do.” 

Qin Yuyang had an ominous premonition in his heart.

“My friend’s son, who grew up abroad is coming back to China to start a business. Your English is good, help take care of him.” 

He really got a troublesome task.

But what else could he do? Could he not listen to his mother’s orders?

“Okay, give me his contact number and name.” 

A week later, at eight o’clock in the morning, Qin Yuyang got up early to pack and drove to the airport.

He got a sign and wrote the person’s English name ‘Dennis’ on the board with a marker.

He then leaned on the railing and dozed off, waiting for the other person.

After an unknown amount of time, a tall figure walked up to him and said in Chinese, “Hello.” 

Qin Yuyang didn’t respond. After all, he was waiting for someone who spoke English.

The man raised his eyebrows and said again, “Hello?” He waved his five slender fingers in front of Qin Yuyang’s eyes. 

The young man who was dozing off opened his eyes, “Huh?” Looking up he was stunned and stood up straight, “Dennis?”

“You can call me by my Chinese name, Jiang Xuan.” The other party stretched out his palm.

“Okay, Jiang Xuan.” Qin Yuyang shook his hand, “My name is Qin Yuyang. It must be tiring on the road.”

Jiang Xuan smiled lightly, “Are you hungry?”

“I’m fine.” The other party was in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was meticulously combed and he looked very strict. There was a sense of abstinence in his face that felt familiar to Qin Yuyang.

Qin Yuyang thought of Yan Yifan the noble young master who had such dignified temperament.

He had no idea that there were people like this in the real world.

“Well, did you pre-book any hotel? Or has your accommodation been arranged?” Qin Yuyang said, “If not, my mother’s intention is to let you stay in my house for a few days. Of course, you are welcome.” 

“Thank you, then I’ll bother you.” Jiang Xuan didn’t have much luggage in his hand, he only had a suitcase weighing no more than ten kilograms.

Based on the character of the other party, Qin Yuyang felt that it would be better for them to carry their own luggage, “You’re welcome.” 

Since the other party could speak Chinese then taking the person to his home is the final task that he should complete.

Mother Qin had already prepared the room a few days in advance and Jiang Xuan could just move in with his bags.

That night, everyone gathered for a happy dinner. Qin Yuyang gave that much face to his parents, after that he went out to play.

He hadn’t set a goal for more than two years after graduation before.

After returning from his experience, Qin Yuyang had the idea of starting a business.

He had the idea formed in his mind and had already started to prepare.

The guest in the next room was the same as him and had been very busy recently.

Every morning they leave early and return late. The both of them greet each other lightly when they meet.

Qin Yuyang thought that the intersection between him and that person was just like this. When the other person’s life stabilized and he moves out, they should not see each other again.

After all, although both of them are about the same age but they are so different in character that they couldn’t really play together.

“Yuyang, what are you doing recently? I haven’t seen you come out and play for a long time.” Shao Fei called him and asked, “I’ll go out tonight and introduce you to some new friends.”

Qin Yuyang had also thought about it. It’s been almost a month since he came back. It’s about time he relaxed.

“Okay.” 

It was really late and he didn’t want to go. But in the end, he went out lazily with the mentality of just showing up and leaving after a while.

When he arrived at the box number given to him by Shao Fei, the people inside were already playing and the room was a bit smoky.

“…” Qin Yuyang saw a familiar face half lying on the sofa at a glance, Jiang Xuan. The other party had changed from his usual aloofness and now his clothes were disheveled, holding a glass of wine in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.

What the hell…?

In addition to being surprised, Qin Yuyang felt deceived. He wanted to sneer, the other person had acted so well.

“Yuyang!” Shao Fei noticed him standing at the door, stood up and greeted him, “Come here and have a drink with your brothers2Close friends, not really related.”

Almost half of the people in the room heard Shao Fei’s words and looked towards the door.

Including Jiang Xuan lying on the sofa who turned his head and glanced at the door. However, he was quite calm and not at all surprised by Qin Yuyang’s presence.

This reaction annoyed Qin Yuyang so much that he hooked his finger to beckon at Shao Fei, “Come out.”

“Why?” But Shao Fei was obedient and came out with two glasses of wine, “What secret do you want to tell me, bro?” 

Qin Yuyang took a glass from him, took a sip and gestured to the sofa in the room, “That guy, when did he start to play with you.” 

He had only returned to China around more than half a month ago and his social circle was already full.

“Who are you talking about? Jiang Xuan?” Shao Fei said, “He came out to play twice last week. The person is very good but he is a bit pretentious.”

Qin Yuyang nodded and said nothing, “I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll play together with you when I have time.” Insinuating that he was going to leave.

He had just gone there to drink a glass of wine, Shao Fei wasn’t unhappy since he did give him face, “Damn, you are suddenly motivated, I feel uncomfortable.” What about their agreement to being a pair of salted fish?

“…”

While the two of them were chatting, Jiang Xuan suddenly sat up from the sofa, adjusted his crooked shirt, put down his cigarette and drink and walked over to them with a blurred look in his eyes.

Qin Yuyang acted the same as usual, he waved his hand and didn’t intend to pay him any more attention, “You guys can continue to play, I’ll be leaving first.” 

As soon as he said that, Jiang Xuan grabbed his wrist and spoke fluently which showed that he wasn’t drunk at all, “You’re leaving after seeing me, do you really not want to see me?” 

Qin Yuyang looked at the hand that grabbed him and smiled angrily, “What are you saying? Why should I care if you are here?” What kind of identity does he have for him to care?

“You’re different from what they described.” Jiang Xuan saw his expression and let go of him, “You’re quite condescending.” 

After hearing a few short sentences, Shao Fei felt dumbfounded. Why did the situation suddenly heat up?

“What’s going on? If there are matters to talk about then speak properly. Everyone here are friends that look up to each other and not look down on anyone. In addition…” 

“Who is his friend?” Qin Yuyang was angry and didn’t want to stay and look like a fool, “Anyways, Shao Fei, I’ll contact you some other time.” 

He then really left. Shao Fei wanted to chase after him but someone else was faster than him.

Jiang Xuan chased him until they got into the elevator, “We are going the same way.” 

After all, they live in the same house. 

“It’s not what you think.” Jiang Xuan’s figure was reflected in the mirror. The man buttoned his neckline with a serious expression, “This is to integrate into your circle and develop interpersonal relationships.”

“Is it to develop interpersonal relationships or a (gay) relationship3Raws insinuated that Yuyang was asking him whether he was trying to find friends or boyfriends?”

Jiang Xuan laughed and said, “Why do you think so?” As far as he knows, everyone there is a straight man, unless… he took a look at Qin Yuyang.

“It’s up to you, it has nothing to do with me anyways.” Qin Yuyang was upset, he felt as if he had been deceived.4(I don’t understand why he’s even angry… its just some random stranger anyways)

“Then why are you angry?” Jiang Xuan could feel that he was angry.

“It’s none of your business.” When the elevator finally reached the basement, Qin Yuyang hurriedly looked for his car.

He noticed that someone was following him and he frowned once more.

“I didn’t drive here, I’ll go home with your car.” 

“…” Qin Yuyang didn’t refuse or agree. He didn’t really know what to say in this situation, so he acquiesced to the other person’s decision.

“Your friends talk about you sometimes.” Jiang Xuan got into Qin Yuyang’s car and fastened his seatbelt, “However, you are much more mature than how others think of you.” He’s not the same as those young people who love eating, drinking and having fun.

“So what?” Qin Yuyang drove out of the building, hoping that he wouldn’t meet any traffic police along the way home.

“You’re very charming.” Jiang Xuan smiled.

Being told that by a person of the same-sex, Qin Yuyang didn’t want to think too much of the matter. Could this person be gay?

“Ah, my insides feel like they’ve been tormented5from being empty.”

“…” From this sentence, Qin Yuyang could guess that his life would be difficult from then on. His intuition never failed him before.

His life is destined to be turned upside down because of Jiang Xuan’s existence.

It didn’t really matter to him, he just felt sorry for his parents. If they had known that they had led a wolf into the room, they wouldn’t have asked their son to pick up Jiang Xuan even if they were killed.
