Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

‘Guiying’ excused herself as ‘she’ further went to the other side. Zixin didn’t mind. Instead, he patiently waited for her to finish her conversation.

Zhan Yahui asked, “You didn’t answer my question.”

‘Guiying’ shrugged. “The person you are asking about was standing right in front of me, so I stepped aside. He was Chen Zixin.”

“You know him?”

“Yeah. Have met a couple of times before.”

“…From Han Shui’s birthday banquet.”

“Yeah and twice before that and many times after that too.”

Suddenly, there fell another spell of a long silence.

“You met Chen Zixin that many times? How are you two even connected?” Zhan Yahui forced her voice to sound extremely calm.

Zhan Yahui caught onto her slight change as well and said, “I mean considering you loathe Liu Jun so much I thought you wouldn’t be interested in having contact with other members of his family.”

“Ah well…” ‘she’ peeked at Zixin and said, “This and that happened and he turned out to help Guiying with her novel,” ‘she’ felt lazy to recount from the first meeting all the way back from the hospital till now.

“Wait a minute…” she stopped ‘her,’ “Was it because of Chen Zixin that she was inspired to write her new story?”

“Not really inspiration. He was just helping out with ideas and suggestions. And…”

‘Guiying’s expression changed as well, thinking about Zixin’s gratitude and the time at the park. “Apart from her, I found him tolerable too. Keeping Liu Jun aside, Chen Zixin is a nice guy. Awfully polite and sincere,” ‘she’ snorted. “At least way nicer than Liu Jun could be. A pity he lost his memories.”

Zhan Yahui said nothing at that.

“Well it was a little shocking to know since you never told me about your meetings with Chen Zixin.”

‘Guiying’ raised her brow and thought to herself for a moment. “I didn’t think it was really necessary.”

“Even after Guiying already faced betrayal from Liu Jun?”

“Chen Zixin has got nothing to do with that. He doesn’t even remember anything.”

“I am just telling you to be careful. I am surprised you even bothered to attend the celebration of someone you hate so much,” she chuckled.

“I wasn’t interested either if not for Zhou Ai wanting to tell me something important.”

There was a slight pause.

“…Hooo. Something important?”

On the other side, Zhan Yahui strongly felt that she was unaware of lots of things in the background, but she couldn’t probe more than that. ‘Guiying’s’ meetings with Zixin alone were enough to let her know that many things had happened without her knowledge.

Did I become too careless because Chen Zixin lost his memory? I never expected there would be any scope left for them to meet anymore.

And now things stood at a point where Ai had something important to say to ‘Guiying.’

Ai, who was keeping her distance from Guiying until now suddenly had something to tell.

“About MrPerfect.”

Zhan Yahui stiffened.

“It’s a long story that happened with Chen Zixin, but I revealed Liu Jun’s truth to him. I didn’t want to but…things just took that turn.”

“I see…Whatever it is, I only suggest not to fall for it,” she smiled. “I care about you, that’s why I don’t want you to be fooled by them once more. Liu Jun can do anything to prove himself innocent.”

‘She’ cocked her brow and sneered. “I already know not to fall for their nonsense. I am curious what card they have to play.”

“Jian you bastard! That was my piece of cake!”

Nian shouted with a big piece of cake stuffed in his mouth. “Shut it! You already had two!”

Liu Hai smacked them hard. “You both have some nerve to snatch my cake!”

His wife, Liu Chunhua, threateningly smiled. “Since when do you eat cake, my dear husband?”

“N-No I-I mean…”

‘Guiying’ frowned and said, “Anyway, talk to you later. It’s getting too loud here.”

‘She’ hung up and went back to see Zixin still standing at the same place as before as if he hadn’t moved an inch like a statue. ‘She’ walked slowly, recalling what had happened yesterday.

Even though it was Guiying at that time Zixin kissed, ‘she’ was aware of what had transpired as well. ‘She’ could feel her heart pounding because ‘she’ shared Guiying’s restlessness as ‘she’ approached ZIxin.

After all the chaos yesterday, it was now after seeing him that she clearly remembered her first kiss. ‘Guiying’s’ movements were becoming awkward because of her emotions running all over the place.

Will you just keep quiet already!? I am walking like a clown because of you!

‘Guiying’ decided against meeting Zixin, so ‘she’ passed by him in silence, not giving him a second glance.

“H-Hello.”

You clearly saw I was avoiding talking to you, ‘her’ mouth twitched.

Zixin was mindful of keeping some distance between them so that ‘she’ wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. At first, he had decided only to meet ‘her’ with Jun and Ai after the celebration ended. But he felt he had an important thing to say before that conversation would take place.

‘Guiying’ observed the tension lines on his forehead. “I don’t want to talk about anything related to MrPerfect right now. That’s already reserved for later, and I will listen to you all only once,” ‘she’ sharply discouraged him in case he had those intentions.

Zixin quickly said before ‘Guiying’ took another step. “No! It’s not about that. I came to you to…to…apologize to you.”

“Again. If it’s about MrPerfect-“

“No. I mean to apologize…” he pursed his lips, “about k-kissing Guiying.”

“Huh?”

Zixin hesitantly nodded.

‘Guiying’ stared at him for several moments and then laughed. “What? Do you regret it now?”

“I do…”

“So just a heat of moment kiss,” ‘she’ mockingly smiled.

“Yes. But I shouldn’t have done it. Not when ‘you’ are a part of her too. I-I mean…” Zixin felt his sentence came out wrongly and he started panicking, afraid of ‘her’ misunderstanding him.

“I mean I am definitely not a player!” He said, breathless.

‘Guiying’ was dumbfounded. “Say what?”

The look of extreme guilt on his face was crystal clear. “‘You’ and Guiying are two different people. It doesn’t matter if you share the same body. I…kissed Guiying, b-but that would seem like I took advantage of ‘you’ too…Doesn’t it mean I conveniently and shamelessly kissed two women?” Sweat trickled down his forehead. “S-So I wanted to apologize for my actions!”
