Chapter 1000 Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
When it was over, Lu Zihao's consciousness returned to the club's silent and dim private room. He glanced down at his mess. The smell of his own musk wafted around him. After the pleasure was only emptiness. There was no Long Jinjing beside him.
He expelled a long drawn-out breath. "What the fuck am I doing?"
Of course, nobody answered him. He couldn't even sense Lu Zihao's remnant within him which was normal. At least the guy had the decency to respect his "privacy" whenever he engaged in sexual acts.
He no longer felt interested in staying in the club and drinking like a pathetic lonely man in an empty room by himself. After cleaning himself up and tidying his messy clothes, he left the club and began driving aimlessly once again.
Touching himself was certainly not enough to satisfy his current carnal needs. A man with a high libido like him who was also at his prime needed regular sex.
"Should I find a woman to fuck tonight?"
Before he could think more about it, a sense of rejection immediately filled him. He then remembered a previous embarrassing experience of failing to maintain an erection while getting a blowjob from other women after his one-night stand with Long Jinjing.
"At this rate, won't I be unable to have sex with other women from now on?"
A dark scowl twisted his expression as the possibility dawned on him.
"Fuck! Dammit, Jinjing. You've ruined me!"
He was almost overcome with dread at the nightmarish possibility of being forced into celibacy because he couldn't get his thing hard with other women and the only way to vent himself was to fantasize about his ex-girlfriend. Shit. Wasn't this just too horrific?
"Dude, never blame the lady for your own hard-on," a familiar voice sounded inside his head all of a sudden.
"Don't talk to me. I have no time to listen to your shit."
"Haha. You're as foul-mouthed as ever. Relax, bro. Your negative feelings are disturbing my rest. Why so serious?"
Lu Zihao—no, Nikolai ignored the remnant, but just as he expected, it continued to talk inside his head, irritating the shit out of him.
"Bro, do you know how you can make yourself feel better once and for all?"
Nikolai didn't want to reply at first but curiosity won over. "How?"
"It's easy! Hehe. Just drive over to your pretty ex-girlfriend's place tonight, make up with her, and then commit to a real relationship this time without any deadlines and all that jazz. And voila! Your girlfriend who's now your ex-girlfriend will become your girlfriend again! Then you'll stop acting like a grumpy lion who has a stick up your ass. Easy, right? Haha."
"Our relationship was real."
The remnant scoffed. "Dude, let's be real here, alright? Although I also played around a lot when I was still alive, even I know the difference between a real relationship and something that isn't. What kind of real relationship has a freaking deadline? What's more, a deadline of 30 days! Stop deluding yourself, bro. It hurts watching you act like this especially when you're using my handsome body. Ah! I was never this pitiful!"
Nikolai didn't reply. He continued driving with no clear destination. Lu Zihao's remnant continued chattering inside his mind while he fell into deep contemplation.
After some time, he interrupted the remnant. "She says she loves me."
"Congrats!"
"She says that if it's possible, she wants to marry me."
"Wow. Congrats, bro!" The remnant paused. "Huh. Wait. You're using my identity now, so doesn't that mean that officially she'll be MY wife? Hot damn!"
Nikolai scowled and hissed. "Who's your wife? Watch your words."
"Haha. Jealous, ain't ya? Just admit it, bro."
"Admit what?"
"That you love the woman called Miss Long Jinjing."
Nikolai accidentally stepped on the brake pedal causing the car to come to an abrupt halt. Angry horns blared from the vehicles behind him. Fortunately, the place wasn't a major road and was more of a residential area. However, there were still plenty of cars driving by especially at this time of the day when overtime workers were heading home.
"Goddammit, Lu Zihao!"
"Hahaha! My bad. But wow. That was quite exciting. It would've been better if we were driving along a steep mountain road."
Nikolai muttered curses about a crazy thrill-seeking daredevil under his breath while he began driving again.
"Anyway, let's return to the important topic at hand. I said you love Miss Long Jinjing. Do you have anything to say about it? Come on. Don't be shy."
"I don't—"
"No lies allowed or heavenly lightning will strike you down!"
If Nikolai didn't feel so affected by the subject of their conversation, he would've already rolled his eyes at the childish quips of Lu Zihao's remnant.
"Silence means that you indirectly agree. Ohoho~ So you really do love Miss Pretty Jinjing!"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, he's defensive. So it must be true!"
Then the remnant began singing in a terrible, off-tune voice inside Nikolai's mind, making him want to bash his head against a wall.
"Can you feel the love tonight?
Tonight~
It's inside this car~
It's not enough for this blind ass Nikolai~
That his ass got dumped~
Oh, can you feel the love tonight?
Tonight~
His dumb ass got dumped~
It's enough to admit that he fell in love~
Believe the very best~
Advice from the love guru~
Yours truly,
Luuuu Ziiiihaaaaaoooooooo~"
A big vein started throbbing in Nikolai's forehead.
"Shut the fuck up, Lu Zihao!"
"How's my song? Nice, right? I'm a generous guy, so I'll give it to you as your love theme song. Hahaha!"
"You sound like shit."
"Hahaha! Of course, I can't compare to pros like Lil Bro Chonglin and Sis-in-law Eve. But among normal people, I think I'm alright."
Nikolai ignored the annoying fucker.
"Hey, hey! Bro, stop denying your feelings, I say! Don't you know that ladies are like phones? They love to be held and talked to, but if you press the wrong button, you'll get disconnected! If you don't smarten up, you'll stay disconnected FOREVER! And dude, forever is too long to stay a grumpy asshole like how you're acting like now."
"Shut up! I'm not in love, okay?" Nikolai may have said this but his expression showed confusion. "At least, I don't think so…."
"Hehe." The remnant's annoying laughter echoed in his head.
