Chapter 40 His body is in my place

  Ge Fei fell silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "He and I were harmed on the same day, he was in a car accident, while I was persecuted by evil spirits. His body didn't die, but his soul couldn't return to his body, nor could it be reincarnated. From that day on, I replaced him, and he hated me for replacing everything of his. Therefore, time and again, he wanted to harm me, harm those I care about."

  As he spoke, Ge Fei suddenly looked at me, and I was inexplicably stared at by him. He didn't seem to want to say anything, but what he cared about was me, so the man in the leather jacket must be after me. In the past when we were together, I hadn't seen him care much about me either, how did he end up finding me? Alas, I'm really unlucky. But thinking about it, it was Old Fox who found him first, and I thought he was even more unfortunate than me, purely a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  I felt a bit uneasy under Ge Fei's gaze and stuttered: "Don't look at me like that, it's weird."

  Ge Fei's gaze did not shift, still looking at me with the same eyes, then slowly got up, walked around the tea table, sat down beside me, and said very seriously: "Lin Sijia, what I said is true. Let's... start again. I promise... from now on, no matter what happens, I will never leave you."

  "Ge Fei, did you take the wrong medicine today? Don't take too much of that stuff, geez." What I really wanted to say was, "Okay, let's start over." After all, my behavior these past few days has been way too obvious. My feelings for him haven't changed from five years ago. But when it came time to speak, the words turned into "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

  I'm afraid in my heart, I'm afraid that if I get it again, I'll lose it again, and losing once is already very painful. I don't want to hurt for the second time. Moreover, Ge Fei now is not the little rascal who slept in the corner of the bed as he was in those years, he is the young master of the Xu family.

  It's probably because of my prejudice against the rich that I always think those second-generation rich and officials are not good people, either they're womanizers or keep mistresses.

  Although I spoke like that, he didn't show any intention of backing down. A pair of electrifying peach blossom eyes stared at me deeply: "Lin Sijia, I'm not joking. For so many years, there's only been one person in my heart - you. Because I'll always remember the 17-year-old girl who ran out of her house on a cold winter night to save me from a small alleyway, fighting off several thugs with her bare hands, getting beaten until she was covered in wounds, yet still carrying the injured me all the way to the hospital."

  He paused for a moment, then continued: "When I was 17, there was a girl who didn't mind that I was poor. Because the fat kid in the next class made fun of me, saying that my cloth shoes were all patched up, she went and beat him up, and also ran out to do part-time jobs to help me buy new shoes. She told me that no one would be poor their whole life, if the fat kid's family didn't have any money, who knows, maybe he wouldn't even have a pair of broken shoes to wear. When she was 19, she got into college and went to another city, where there were many excellent boys, but she never looked down on me, who hadn't even finished high school. Every week when she had a day off, she would use the money she earned from part-time jobs to come see me. At 20 years old..."

  I've never seen Ge Fei so emotional, his nose suddenly turned sour, and for a moment he couldn't help but shed tears. Weng Sheng interrupted him: "What's the point of being so emotional? It doesn't suit you at all."

  "You've only said a few words and you're already so moved?" Ge Fei returned to his usual nonchalant self, with a hint of a smile on his handsome face. Now, when he smiled, it was gentle and refined, not like before.

  I wiped away tears and immediately denied: "Who was moved, which eye of yours saw me being moved?"

  He smiled meaningfully: "Both eyes have seen it."

  I: “…………”

  "Admit it, you're moved, why not just admit it. As you said, the wheel of fortune has finally turned in my favor, and you're still crying, how superstitious. Ge Fei's enlarged face smiled at me, his smile naturally had a hint of vulgarity, even if he tried to be refined and elegant, he couldn't hide that vulgar taste. He can't stay sentimental for long, just a moment ago he turned back into that deadbeat look."

  Ge Fei's face was getting closer and closer, almost to the point of touching my mouth. I could feel his breath. I retreated repeatedly: "What are you doing? Don't think that just because you said a few words, I'll be moved. I'm asking you... what do we do next? And... aren't you going to work? Won't your dad beat you?"

  I admit I was intentionally changing the subject, afraid that he would really come over and... and then I'd just be with him like this, isn't it too casual? Hmm, yes, can't be so casual. Hmm, no, I'm already living in his house. But this seems to have nothing to do with that...

  After much deliberation, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Lin Sijia, you really are a sentimental woman.

  "My dad has been busy with company stuff, he doesn't have time to take care of me, this useless son. Not even when I'm acting strange, he didn't notice, he still thinks I'm Xu Shiwei." I was being sentimental in my heart, Ge Fei said with a helpless expression, looking like a prodigal son.

  I was confused: "Doesn't Xu Lin'an know that you're not Xu Shiwei?" Cough, forgot to explain, Xu Lin'an is the founder of the Xu family, this guy is like a monster, more than 20 years ago, he suddenly appeared in China's business circle as a new rich man, and now he's getting richer and richer, so rich that it's overflowing. How can someone who dominates the business world be so brainless? How could he not have discovered Xu Shiwei's abnormality?

  "Old man's mind is all on the company, how would he have the mood to care about those trivial things at home?"

  I used to think that Xu Lin'an was afraid of affecting the Xu family, so he let Siluozi, who had fallen into the folk, replace the position of the rich and handsome son, but listening to Ge Fei's tone, it seems that Xu Lin'an didn't know?

  But... if it wasn't for Xu Lin'an's permission, how did Ge Fei replace Xu Shiwei, and how did he enter the Xu family? Could it be... that this matter is related to Ye Jingchen? For now, I also can't think of who else could have the ability to make Ge Fei impersonate Xu Shiwei, and even make Ge Fei's parents disappear.

  It doesn't make sense either. If Ye Jingchen really did it, Ge Fei should have had contact with him in the past few years, and Ge Fei's friend Xue Lang seems to be familiar with Ye Jingchen. How could Ge Fei not find any clues? Besides, wasn't Xu Shiwei supposed to be dead? Why can't he return to his body? And how did Ge Fei replace him? The more I listen, the more confused I become, full of doubts.

  I hesitated for a moment and asked him in confusion: "You said the man in the leather jacket didn't die, but if he's not dead, why can't he go back to his body?"

  After all, Ge Fei has always felt guilty towards that leather jacket man. Although he didn't say anything, I saw it in his eyes. If I asked him like this, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

  Ge Fei's eyes dimmed, and after a moment of silence, he said heavily: "Because... his body... is here with me."
