The Male lead's ex-boyfriend(6): The reborn protagonist 
---

The appearance of Sun Shuya not only left system surprised, even Xiang Han was dumbfounded.
　　
According to the plot, a month after Lu Ze broke up with the original host, the company would face a crisis. Sun Shuya had joined the company at this time, accompanying Lu Ze through the most difficult period of his life. It is because of this that Lu Ze gradually became acquainted with Sun Shuya and thus become infatuated.
　　
At this point in time, Lu Ze and Sun Shuya should only have met a few times, close enough to nod at each other in passing. However, Sun Shuya’s current gaze towards Lu Ze’s seemed very familiar, not anything like having only seen each other a few times.
　　
Holding onto the quilt, Xiang Han watched them intently with doubts in his heart.
　　
Lu Ze’s attitude was very normal and simply introduced, “This is Sun Shuya, you've probably seen this junior brother who is a year below you. He is currently interning at my company and heard that you were sick, so he came to pay a visit.”
　　
Afterward, he helped Xiang Han lay down and covered him with the quilt. His movements were very natural and intimate, as if he had done so many times.
　　
Sun Shuya had just put the fruit basket down and was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
　　
Xiang Han pulled at the covers in confusion and asked the system, [Little nine, the information does not seem right. Sun Shuya should not have to gone to the target’s company yet ah?]
　　
System, [That should be the case, I am currently analyzing the reason.]
　　
Sun Shuya only froze for a moment but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "The feelings between you two seniors are really good."
　　
Xiang Han had not yet spoken when Lu Ze already hummed an affirmative tone. Without looking back, he continued to straighten out the corners of the blanket.
　　
Xiang Han swore he saw Sun Shuya’s expression freeze.
　　
The original host was not familiar with Sun Shuya, so after the greetings, the two men had nothing more to say. Lu Ze also did not continue their conversation. When he finished pulling at the quilt, he turned on his computer and began to work next to him.
　　
At this moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xiang Han struggled to find a common topic and silently scolded Lu Ze. Sun Shuya was obviously brought by him, yet was thrown to himself to deal with.
　　
Holding an awkward conversation for a while, Sun Shuya nonchalantly mentioned, "Speaking of it, after graduating, will senior go to Tianchen company to continue learning?"
　　
"Uh...most likely not. I haven't thought about it yet."
　　
Xiang Han’s answer was a bit vague. Tianchen was a company founded by Lu Ze. At the moment, it was still a small company, only operating a few small web games and mobile games.
　　
Lu Ze heard this and suddenly looked up at him with a thoughtful expression.
　　
When Sun Shuya finally decided to leave, Xiang Han sighed with relief. Remembering the task, he said to Lu Ze, "Go send him off."
　　
Lu Ze looked at him strangely but did not refuse.
　　
After he returned from sending Sun Shuya off, Xiang Han cautiously prompted, "That... what do you think of him?"
　　
"Who?"
　　
"I’m talking about Sun Shuya," Xiang Han was somewhat eager.
　　
A smile faintly appeared on Lu Ze’s face and he seemed to have suddenly understood something so he deliberately said, “He is very good. He is talented and has a serious attitude. He is not like a certain student who has not yet graduated from school.”
　　
"Yes, I think so too." Xiang Han’s eyes lit up when he thought that the target indeed had a good impression of the protagonist. So he redoubled his efforts and continued, "Moreover, he is also good looking, elegant, and easy to talk to..."
　　
The smile on Luze's lips froze. Turns out, Xiang Han was not jealous, but was admiring him instead? He immediately interrupted, his expression dark, "Is that so? I think he looks normal, his attitude is also overly familiar and he does not how to read the situation."
　　
Remembering that the matter between Xiang Han and Zhao Handong was also something he had mentioned, Lu Ze inadvertently added, “He also likes to speak about people behind their backs.”
　　
After he said this, he snorted. Not waiting for Xiang Han’s reaction, he took his computer, turned and left.
　　
"Ah..." Xiang Han was stunned. What happened? Didn't he have a good opinion of the other person recently?
　　
[Mr. Xiang, I have already investigated Sun Shuya.] System suddenly came online.
　　
[Oh, is there anything unusual?]
　　
System, [Apart from suddenly joining the target’s company for an internship two months ago, there are no other exceptions.]
　　
Ah, he knew it. In this kind of situation, the system, big A, and small B are all extremely unreliable.
　　
System, [However, he seems very concerned about the target and in the near future, will probably develop good feelings for him.]
　　
[This is good news.] Xiang Han was finally relieved, seemingly having seen a chance of success.
　　
They never expected that Sun Shuya had actually been reborn.
　　
Zhao Handong's character was unrestrained and his romantic life was very successful. In his previous life, after he got together with Sun Shuya, he toned it down a lot but it didn't take very long for his true colors to re-emerge. The two often fought as a result and the number of times they broke up and reconciled was not less than ten. The last time Sun Shuya steeled his heart for the break-up, Zhao Handong finally panicked. He repented and begged Sun Shuya.
　　
Zhao Handong did not actually like Sun Shuya. It had always been a thorn in his heart since Sun Shuya was stolen from Lu Ze because he knows that the other person actually admired Lu Ze. Therefore, he often had suspicions that Sun Shuya was forced to be with him. The so-called lingering flowers[1] were also a ploy. He had only wanted to test his weight in Sun Shuya's heart. Little did he know that their feelings could not withstand the tests.
　　
Sun Shuya had already disappointed Zhao Handong, but in the end, he forgave him. Because he was already exhausted, he no longer wanted to continue to pursue the matter and continue their fights. Since they were together, then just stay together. At the most, they would treat each other as a tenant. The second half of the two’s lives became very estranged and although they lived together, they regarded each other as air.
　　
Sometimes, Sun Shuya wondered if he had chosen Lu Ze at first, would the result have been different? After thinking about this matter, he would shake his head and laugh. A person cannot return to the past, so how can they choose again?
　　
However, when he woke up one day, he discovered he had really returned to the past. Looking at the young and energetic face in the mirror, Sun Shuya thought, perhaps God wanted to give him a chance.
　　
So he entered Tianchen in advance and quietly approached Lu Ze. Two months later, Lu Ze’s attitude toward him was still unmoved and there was no change. However, Sun Shuya was not worried because he knows one month later, the company will encounter a crisis and he will accompany Lu Ze through the difficulties and let him fall in love with him again.
　　
Before that, he must first deal with Lu Ze’s money-loving boyfriend. He had no interest in becoming the third person in their relationship.
　　
Originally everything was going well, Lu Ze caught Xiang Han in the bar and they had broken up on the spot. He could not understand why the situation suddenly changed? Lu Ze actually changed his mind, not only bringing Xiang Han to the hospital, but even their relationship became better than before.
　　
Outside the hospital, Sun Shuya was puzzled. He understood Lu Ze’s personality very well but he could not figure out why Lu Ze forgave Xiang Han. He obviously could not tolerate betrayal. Could it be...Xiang Han had also been reborn?
　　
With this possibility in mind, Sun Shuya's face suddenly changed. After being dumped by Zhao Handong in his past life, he tried to chase after Lu Ze, but Lu Ze was not one to lead him on. Now, it was not the same, the two have not yet separated. If Xiang Han was also reborn, he will definitely cling onto Lu Ze tightly.
　　
If Lu Ze and Xiang Han do not break up, how can he get together with Lu Ze? No, he must think of a way to let Lu Ze see Xiang Han’s true colors as soon as possible.
　　
On the other side, Xiang Han had stayed in the hospital for a few days and it was about time for him to be discharged. In fact, these days, he had always wanted to sneak out but each time he left the ward, he would be sent back by the expressionless doctor.
　　
Lu Ze brought him out of the hospital after completing the formalities. In the car, Xiang Han said, "About that, you can just send me back to the dormitory."
　　
Lu Ze gave him a look and then turned back to continue driving, as if he had not heard it.
　　
Xiang Han guiltily emphasized, "After all, we've broken up."
　　
"Let’s go back first. We’ll talk about this matter another time." Lu Ze's tone was light, Xiang Han could not tell if he was angry or not.
　　
"Oh,"  Xiang Han replied softly.
　　
When they returned to his place of residence and sat down, Lu Ze took out a small book and walked in front of him.
　　
"Since you want to break up, we might as well calculate how much I’ve spent on you in the past few months."
　　
“What?”
