Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

"Huang Qingsheng! Come back here!" Huang Shu was holding a small loincloth while chasing a five years old boy who ran around in the courtyard naked. He was so quick on his feet, and for a five years old, he could also jump reasonably high and hide underneath the table and chairs. 

Even more surprising, he could climb a tree! Qingsheng had a special affinity with the tree in the middle of the courtyard, where his mother, Bai Yunyu, was buried after he got cremated five years ago. 

"Qingsheng! Get down from that tree. It's too dangerous!" Huang Shu yelled at his son. He had to take care of his son by himself because after Qingsheng passed his nursing years, he refused any maidservant who tried to help him.

He would throw a tantrum, and knowing that he was the son of Commander Huang and the late Master Bai Yunyu, it was obvious he had the same talent or even better talent than his parents. 

Qingsheng stuck out his tongue. He climbed the tree and then stood on a branch, completely naked. 

"Hehe, catch me, Papa!" Qingsheng taunted his dad. 

Huang Shu sighed, "Don't move! I don't want you to fall!"

Huang Shu climbed the tree slowly, afraid that his movement might shake the branches and caused his son to fall. But as he was about to reach his son, Qingsheng suddenly ran towards the end of the branch, using it as a spring, and then did a somersault in the air before landing smoothly on the ground.

He looked at his dad, who was stunned silly, still holding the loincloth while hanging on the tree.

Qingsheng smirked and stuck out his tongue once more, "Papa is so slow! Ahahaha!"

Huang Qingsheng turned around, about to run inside his room and hide somewhere else. He didn't want to get caught because his dad would go to work to the garrison again while that boring old maid would take care of him instead. 

Sometimes, Huang Shu would bring his son to the garrison, but he couldn't do it every day because it was too dangerous. He was mostly practicing with his soldiers, so he had to leave his son sitting alone in his office, which had many important documents and dangerous weapons that might hurt him. 

Huang Qingsheng intended to run away, but the moment he turned around, Qingsheng's face paled, and he stood still, lowering his head as if he was listening to someone who was scolding him.

Huang Shu immediately jumped out of the tree and caught Qingsheng, who was standing still, "Got you! Stop making trouble! Dad still has to work!"

…

There was no answer from Qingsheng. He just kept lowering his head and nodded few times before mumbling, "Yes, mama, I'm sorry…."

Huang Shu frowned, "Qingsheng, what are you talking about?"

Huang Qingsheng looked at his dad, frowning, "I'm listening to Mama. He is scolding me for delaying your work, dad…."

"Mama?" 

Huang Shu looked around and found no one except them, "What are you talking about, Qingsheng?"

Huang Qingsheng pointed in front of them, "Mama is standing there with a strange floating orange thing. He is smiling at us."

Huang Shu took a deep breath, he sensed that his son wasn't lying, but he couldn't see anything in front of him.

It must have been a child's intuition. They said children are more sensitive to spirits, so they could see or even talk to them, some even befriended those spirits. 

It had been five years since Bai Yunyu left them, Huang Shu was taking care of their son alone. They stayed in the same house near the garrison because it had the memory of Bai Yunyu, especially his grave under that cherry blossom tree in the middle of the courtyard. 

Huang Shu stayed unmarried because he only had one love, and that love was taken away from him because of that Rewind Stone.

No, maybe it was because of himself. He was the one who wasted the Rewind Stone chances because of his selfishness and ignorance. 

Now that everything was too late, Bai Yunyu only left him a son that he treasured a lot. 

Never in a million years would he predicted himself to be a widower at the age of twenty one and stayed unmarried for the next five years.

But whenever he remembered about Bai Yunyu, he had a firm belief that Yunyu was waiting for him in the afterlife. And they would be together again once more. 

"Qingsheng, tell Papa what Mama looks like in front of you?" 

"Um… Mama has a red mole like me between his eyebrows. He has a sweet smile, he is very handsome like Qingsheng also! He is wearing a white robe—"

"Oh, Papa! Mama is coming here. He is going to hug us!" Qingsheng said excitedly.

Huang Shu was stunned when a cold wind suddenly circulated around them. He could feel a cold but gentle caress on his cheek as well. As if he was embraced by this familiar person, even though he wasn't here anymore.

"Say, Papa, why aren't you talking to Mama?" Qingsheng pulled Huang Shu's collar. "Mama just said that he loves you, you know…."

Huang Shu bit his lips. He tried hard not to cry in front of his son. 

"P—Papa… also loves Mama…."

"Papa? Why are you crying?" Huang Qingsheng asked. He wiped the tears on Huang Shu's eyes with his small hands. 

"Ah… it must've been dust," Huang Shu replied to his son. 

Huang Qingsheng still didn't understand that his mom was dead. Since he could always see his mom around him. In fact, his mom often accompanied him while he was stuck with that old maid.

Sometimes, his mom would be the one who told him to create a big tantrum, so his dad would come home earlier.

**

It was late at night when Huang Qingsheng finally fell asleep in his room. Huang Shu closed the door and returned to his bedroom, the same bedroom he had with Yunyu before his passing. 

He already took a bath with Qingsheng, so now all he did was lay on the bed. He turned his body, lying sideways and staring at the empty side of the bed. 

That side was supposed to be his wife's side, but the man was gone now.

"Yunyu, did Qingsheng tell the truth about you? That you're still here, watching over us?"

…

"Did you see what I'm doing every day? I'm taking care of Huang Qingsheng for you, for us. Because he is the only gift, you left for me."

"Yunyu…" 

Huang Shu closed his eyes. He wanted to imagine the smile in Yunyu's rosy lips when he was still alive, he wanted to see that smile once, just once, and he would be thanking heaven for the rest of his life.

Then suddenly, he felt a gentle caress on his cheek, he opened his eyes slowly, and he saw the Ger that he loved so much, his skin was a lot paler, but he still had the same beauty in him. He smiled at Huang Shu and said, "Husband, thank you for taking care of Qingsheng…."

Huang Shu's eyes widened, "W—Wife, is that really you? I'm not hallucinating, right?!"

"You're not hallucinating, Husband," Yunyu smiled and then put his cold hand on Huang Shu's heart. "I may be dead, but I'm still watching over you and Qingsheng."

"Husband, I've promised to heaven that I will not leave this world until you've fulfilled your promise to me. To raise Huang Qingsheng and reclaim your birthright."

"Husband, you don't need to use that Rewind Stone anymore because I will be waiting for you here, and we will go to the afterlife together after you've done everything you need to do…."

"Husband, I love you…."

Bai Yunyu caressed Huang Shu's cheek again and kissed his forehead before disappearing into thousands of fireflies in front of Huang Shu's eyes.

Huang Shu closed his eyes and put his palm on his forehead to the place where Yunyu kissed him just now. 

He could still feel the cold kiss of his beloved.

Slowly, tears dropped to the pillow as Huang Shu sobbed, "Please wait for me, Wife. I will… I will raise Huang Qingsheng to be a great person in the future."

"I will hold onto your promise. We will go to the afterlife together, my Beloved…."
