Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Lei was stunned, he knew that Kassell liked Shanlai, but he had never asked the reason, so he naturally thought that Xiaomaoer and Nadel were good friends, and Kassell was Nadel's brother, so it was easy for them to develop feelings for each other as childhood sweethearts.

Who would have thought that behind their childhood sweethearts was a story that almost cost her life.

"Nadel didn't have many friends since she was a child. After Shanlai saved her, she changed her usual arrogant and domineering attitude and treated Shanlai like an ancestor. As a result, the two of them became friends."

"Gradually, Shanlai came home with Nadel more often. I was very happy at that time, after all, I could see her every day." He was very happy when talking about the days when he buried his feelings. The throbbing feeling he had in his youth still makes him excited when he thinks about it now.

"But later she stopped coming here often. Nadel told me it was because her teachers were very strict and she couldn't finish her homework so she didn't have time to come here."

"I told Nadel indirectly that I was outstanding in my studies, with full marks in every subject and the highest score in the school."

"Nadel loves to play. She finally has a good friend, so she won't let go of this opportunity. So I coaxed her to come home again. Taking advantage of her smart brain, I often help her with her homework."

"After a while we became familiar with each other. I like her calling me brother. Her soft and sweet voice is addictive." Kassell smiled and observed the reaction of the man next to him. Seeing that he didn't have any strong emotions, he continued.

"Then, when Nadel was fifteen, she fell in love with the Chinese man Yun Ran, but he was a mute. After that, they went through some things. In order to let the two girls protect themselves, I taught Shan Lai boxing, close combat, and gun assembly and shooting."

"It was finally time for my 18th birthday ceremony. I confessed my feelings to her after midnight, and she said she only saw me as a brother."

"Because of this, I stopped her from calling me brother. I didn't want to be her brother, so I asked her to call me by my name. She was very obedient and did as I asked."

"Then she returned to Country K and became a couple with you. I was unwilling to accept it. Why?" Kassell looked at Lei and said word by word.

Lei was not angry when he heard what he said about Shanlai. On the contrary, he felt extremely calm.

"Because of her allergies, Nadel wanted to come back to see her, so I asked Nadel to help me see if she really had a boyfriend."

"The moment I knew it was true, I even thought about having someone create an accident so that you could leave quietly."

"But after seeing the photos my men took for me, she smiled so happily at you, so I gave up the idea."

"As long as she is happy, I am happy too."

Lei was even more stunned, so he had to thank Shanlai for her wholehearted love for him at that time. If it weren't for her feelings for him, he would probably have no chance now.

"When I came to pick up Nadel, I saw you at the police station entrance and I was more or less disdainful of you, because although you look very gentle, it seems that gentleness is the only thing you can rely on."

"You give me the feeling that you are not as good as me, no matter from which point of view." Kassell laughed directly when he said this, "But so what, she still only likes you."

Kassell even smiled self-deprecatingly. He wanted to put the best things in the world in front of her, but she didn't need him to give them. Even though the incident between Hanazawa Rui and Fujido Shizuka had made her bedridden for more than a year, she still only loved Hanazawa Rui, the man who had hurt her.

He clearly remembered that she slept for one year, one month and two days, a total of 397 days and nights.

The days when she lay in the hospital bed were so hard for him. He was afraid that she would feel sad after waking up and knowing the truth, but he was also afraid that she would never wake up. He was very conflicted.

He had already prepared for the worst. If she really couldn't wake up, he would stay with her for the rest of her life.

Later, Hanazawa Lei came to Country M to see her. He had guessed it when Misaku spoke vaguely to him, but at that time he just wanted Shanlai to wake up quickly, because the doctor told him that if Shanlai didn't wake up after a year, then her chances of waking up would be slim, so he finally agreed to let Hanazawa Lei take care of her.

"Hanazawa Rui, tell me, why does she love you so much? She loves you so much that she has given up on her dignity. Obviously, I am the one who has been with her the longest. I am better than you, and I love her no less than you."

"You hurt her so much and made her lie in bed for a year. She is such a vengeful person, how could she forgive you so easily?" Kassell smiled bitterly, and even his voice became weak.

Lei didn't know what to say. In fact, he had seen how much Kassell devoted to her during the time in Country M. He had also thought about whether Shanlai would break up with him after waking up. He had already prepared for the worst.

After Shanlai woke up, she said a lot of bad things to him. At that time, he himself felt that he was indeed not worthy of her. He was a bastard and did not deserve her love. Later, Kassell came to him and told him that Shanlai often called his name in her sleep, and sometimes even cried while calling his name.

It was at that moment that Kassell knew that she really loved Hanazawa Rui. If she wanted a project, he would spend money, time and a lot of energy to fight for it, but as for her, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't do anything about her.

What a pity, if you don’t love me, you don’t love me.

When Shanlai knew that she might never see again, it was Kassell who let Huaze Lei go to the ward to take care of her, so that he could accompany her through those dark days, and in this way, the two of them might be able to resolve their previous misunderstandings.

Later, Shanlai stabbed him, and they both really opened their hearts to each other. Seeing that she was no longer so extreme, Kassell was not happy when he said he was happy, and it seemed that all this was arranged by him.

This was also the first time in his 22 years of life that he got drunk. He went to his own bar and drank bottle after bottle of beer. People say that being drunk can relieve all worries, but unfortunately he found out at the end that except for tinnitus and inability to see clearly after drinking so much, his consciousness was extremely clear and he could even remember some things from the past.
