Lu Xiao walk out of his house but before doing so, he look back at his house for the last time.
This house is where he continued his life at age of fifteen until now that he is already a twenty-five years old.
After closing the door Lu xiao turn around and meet the eyes of the taxi driver, this taxi is the one he called online earlier. He walk towards the taxi and sit at the back seat.
"are we ready to go now sir? "
the taxi ask, he don't understand why this young man said that he is leaving but he didn't bring any suitcase with him, even though he is curious he is not in the right position to know what his costumer personal life is.
"en, please just continue."
Lu Xiao replied, this day is his birthday and he decided to end his life as today is the day he also came to this world. Everyone think he is crazy but in his twenty-five years of living he didn't see anything that worth of living, all he could see is that continuing living is just making his life even more hard.
Ofcourse he won't waste his death so he decide to donate his whole body to the laboratory, he already made an appointment so all he need to do is to bring himself to the place.
Well, no one will think or will be worried even if he just disappeared since he is an orphan. His parents just died suddenly when he is ten years old, the rumours around the people who attended the death ceremony said that his parents were killed by the illegal organization related to their new project. His parents are new to business at that time and just started to make a deal with their co-business partners, after that he received a house at that time and they are just starting to build it.
Lu Xiao grow up then alone, he also stay away from his classmates, if someone want to be friend with him he will just leave ignoring that person presence, he did that at that time because he is suspicious with everyone around him until his age of fifteen came.
He decided to came out of his shell and will no longer hide but everytime he approached someone they will act like 'huh? why is he being suspicious lately? stay away from him! '
after that he no longer tried to find a friend and just continue what he usually do, when he graduated and find a job he became a slave of his co-workers that made his life even more miserable than it is.
suddenly the taxi stop, the driver look at the rear view mirror to look at the young man who's eyes are closed.
"sir, we're here!"
the driver said, Lu xiao open his eyes only then did he realized that he is remembering everything that happened to him to not even notice that he already arrived at his destination.
'is this what they called flashback before you'll die? '
Lu xiao though and smile wryly.
handing his payment before going out Lu xiao said his thanks.
Looking at the private hospital where he decided to donate himself Lu Xiao felt ridiculous, just to think about it that you even deliver your self to the door of death.
Walking towards it, somehow Lu xiao felt relief.
not long after a handsome man with white hair walk towards him, Lu xiao was a bit jealous after observing the man.
the man is just so perfect, his beautiful nose, his foxy eyes that seems to carry a lust every second, his brows that curve in like a sword but carry a gentleness with a naughty personality. his thin lips with a tint of pinkness, his perfect face shape.
not realizing it Lu xiao look at that man with full of jealousy that he don't even notice that he leaked out his true feelings, not noticing that the man in front of him was a bit stunned before curving up the corner of his lips.
Gu Han for the First time meet his ideal man but was stunned after seeing the jealous face of the man, he did not expect to receive a jealous from the man since every person he meet blush instantly and even act like they cant wait to pounce on him.
'he is perfect even his attitude, if he is into man I would be happy to be with him'
Gu Han thought and then ask the man.
"sir? are you MR.Lu?"
the man ask, Lu Xiao as if was struck by a lightning look at the man with a shock face. his heart beat so fast as if it will come out after hearing the voice, for the first time this voice....but then he remembered that this is his last day.
"yes, sorry for my rudeness. "
Lu xiao said with a smile. Gu han don't know why the man change his attitude suddenly but he don't care since everyone have their own way of thinking.
"then please, allow me to guide you to the... to that place. "
Gu han replied, for unknown reason he felt like he know this person.
arriving at the underground where they secretly do their dirty deal, Lu Xiao notice that no one's there beside of the two of them.
Suddenly Lu xiao was cornered on the wall by Gu xiao, startled Lu xiao place his hand on his chest, feeling the beat like drum on his heart.
"what.... the? "
before he could say something Gu han smiled and placed his finger on his lips.
"Mr. Lu, since you already made up your mind why not making a deal with me for the last time? " Gu han said revealing his foxy smile.
after that a new deal was made successfully after that Gu han made a call for investigation, to know why he felt familiar around this person.
the second deal was made for three hours and the first deal also finished after 4 hours successfully, the corpse of someone who's body full of bites marks lie there lifelessly making Gu han felt uneasiness. He felt like he seems to made a big mistake, a very big mistake. Suddenly a phone call rang from his phone, it's the detective. after answering and hearing what the other person said Gu han unconsciously let go of the phone while his hands were trembling, looking back at the lifeless body Gu han's tears fall down.
the only scenes he remembered before his world turned dark is where two children playing and making a promises.
'hahaha, catch me faster! han-han catch me! ' the cute five year old boy said happily while running.
'you promise that you won't forget about me okay? you are not allowed to marry without me okay? also your not allowed to find a friend beside me okay? " the nine year old boy said while tears are falling down from his eyes.
'sure I will back after fifteen years, if it's okay I will even marry you at that time hahahha'
the other child said jokingly followed by a laugh.
'then when your back, you need to marry quickly okay? ' the boy replied not catching the joke side.
' xiao-xiao, boys need to marry a girl. so Han-han can't marry you.' the woman said while wiping the tears of her son.
'han-han is lying! then I'll find my own wife then. mama, marry me okay? ' the boy said, then A laugh rang on that place.
'ayah, Rou. you should allow your son play with others often, look he is already nine but still so naive. '
"mmm~"
Lu xiao groaned feeling the headache inside his head, before he could even open his eyes, he suddenly grab his hair because of an intense head ache as if a bomb exploded inside his head.
following that he received a foreign memories rushing in his mind combining in his soul as if he is the one who experienced it.
a few minutes later, Lu xiao open his green eyes with a hint of confusion. Lu xiao still remember what happened before the operation begin, That man is gay and ask his first time, even though Lu xiao is a straight man, he really don't care what his situation at that time since he would die anyway.
even now he could still imagine the pleasure but that's not what Lu xiao want to think right now, he don't know what's going on but recalling the memory he received he want to kill someone.
standing up Lu xiao walk towards the bathroom,just thinking where it is, a memory flash in his mind naturally, when he took a step he could feel the same feeling when he is in his own house.
Lu xiao wanted to know what really is happening, until when he arrive at the mirror inside of the bathroom all he could say is..
"wow~"
what he saw in the mirror is not his own face but the face he saw in his memories, Black curly hair that blocking his eyes green eyes, a tint of pink in his pointed nose, a thin pout lips with a lower pink color and a red-brown on the upper lip.
"this appearance is like coming out in anime or manga! if im gay i think i will even harass this body. but.... why am i in this body. "
Lu xiao just stand there for minutes, looking and making himself familiar with his new look while touching his smooth skin.
suddenly his reflection in the mirror move on its own, the hands raise on it own and cover its face. Lu xiao was stunned that he couldn't even move or breath, until he heard a sob coming from the mirror.
"*sob*hic*huhumm*sob*"
"the heck? wh-what the.... wait, what am I even reacting to? "
Lu xiao stop in the middle in his sentence when he realized that he even posses a body, so that means he is also a ghost who stole the body of some one else.
So what's even the difference of him and the ghost he saw in the mirror?
"now... *sob* that you are me, *sob* please let her suffer. you can only leave the body after my desire were satisfied *sob* after your mission is complete,...you have eleven days to say goodbye. huhumm~sob*"
hearing this Lu xiao wanted to ask something but then the image and the trembling shoulder stop and back to his reflection leaving him look at his face in the mirror that have a frown.
"what the.... I decide to end my life because its too troublesome, and now you give me a complicated life?
at least you should say what benefits I could get in exchange?"
Lu xiao sigh and then frown again, His name is Aldren a waiter in day time and also a server in the bar at night. He is currently 19 and just graduated in highschool a year ago, he is an adopted child of a businessman but the contract say that the man will just help him until 18, after his 18 birthday Aldren should leave the house with nothing to take aside from his belongings.

But who knows that the woman already saw him, afraid that Aldren will tell to his boss what he saw, the woman said something to one of the guys.
Aldren was rape by some kind of dude who like male beauties, although Aldren always dreamed and develop an insomnia he still continue going on work since he is leaving alone and no one will help him to get some money to support his delay needs.
The woman who noticed this was frightened and shocked that Aldren is still acting like normal. seeing this she decide to use his boyfriend, telling that Aldren secretly harassing her behind his boss back.

He also learned that if not for this person maybe not just that he will got and will experienced, thanks to this man he survived but it doesn't have any difference what will the outcome be. what the man did is just to lessened the schemes of that woman, after that man visit him, Aldren tears fall from his eyes and left the world with full of hatred, sadness, loneliness and most of all he felt pain.
Lu xiao frowned and let out a big sigh, brushing his hair to the back he look at his reflection then smiled wryly.
"so tonight is the night that I will witness the cheating girlfriend?
just how the hell I will solve this if I even run away from my own problem?"
"ALDREN! deliver this to the room 001.!"
Cedric said, he is one of the workers in this bar.
Aldren walk towards Cedric, he just finished delivering the wine and snacks from room 005 and did not expect the costumer will be someone he know but he still did what his job is.
picking the tray, Lu xiao smiled and ask Cedric.
"is this the last one? "
he asked, Cedric wipe the glass and put it away before nodding.
"yeah, it's already eleven o'clock. "
he answered and continued to clean, Lu xiao saw this and decide to deliver the order so that he could do what he should do already.
while walking towards the room, Lu xiao often look around and after a minute he finally found his target. Lu xiao don't know if his plan will succeed because he also can't deal his own life on earth the only difference is, in this world he already know what happened to this body.
Lu xiao knocked the door before opening it, when he step in the costumer only give him a glance before continuing their business.
Lu xiao put the tray on the side table then bow before leaving but before he could do that the fat man called him.

"Hmmm? did you order an another wine? "
Linda asked the thin-tall man while kissing his neck.
Seeing that another waiter came to them with a high quality wine.
"no, they said the bar is now closing. "
the other normal man said and also look at Lu xiao, the way he look at Lu xiao is very disgusting and Lu xiao instantly remember this guy. this man is the first who raped Aldren, although the memory affected him Lu xiao can still control his anger.
"I'm sorry sir, we're indeed closing but the room 001 in the VIP section order this but they already left and ask me to give it to others."
Lu xiao said with his usual smile then frown in regret.
"I can give it to others if you don't want to drink anymore. "
Lu xiao said pretending like a devoted waiter who regret that such a fine wine will only go waste.
'huh? VIP section? room 001 at that? no wonder it's a high quality wine.'
Linda thought.
"oh.. if you say so, such a high quality wine was actually ignored by those guys?..hmmm~baby how about hehemuaw(kiss)"
linda said while flirting, obviously suggesting to accept the wine. Lu xiao was also very happy deep inside not because they will accept the wine but because.
'yes, flirt more with them ! kiss him! so that I could give you a big present. '
"leave it here then, this is your tip. if something happened like this often just fined me and I will give you a big tip. "
the big-black man said while handing a bunch of money, Lu xiao guessed that this man is a black American based on his appearance. when Lu xiao reach his hand with a grateful smile he noticed the eyes of Linda that was glued on the money.
"thanks sir, I will remember. then if there's nothing else I will take my leave now. "
Lu xiao said not forgetting to use his usual fake friendly smile, before he leave he got an approval nod from that black man.
Lu xiao walk back with an empty tray to the cashier area, there he saw Cedric picking his bag and ready to leave.
"are you leaving? "
Lu xiao ask, he put down the empty tray in the bartender area then look at Cedric.
Cedric is a person that is indifferent, he is not kind but also not bad. He will answer whatever you want to know since its a job to entertain the costumer, this is also the reason why got promoted to a VIP bartender area. that's why those people who only came here to get information likes him very much and he often get a very high tip.
"yes, tell the boss if he ask about me. thank you. "
Cedric said and leave without looking back. Lu xiao only shake his head then walk towards the CR
(Comfort Room), after he arrived in the room he instantly paused the video and saved it and even made a back up incase it disappear.
after removing those makeup he smiled wryly while shaking his head, Cedric didn't even ask him why he is in disguised? maybe that's the reason why his costumer like him.
"what now? "
Lu xiao ask himself in the mirror while recalling those memories that only making him furious.
