Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

The same morning, Jin was also discharged from the hospital and brought back home. Nana and the family welcomed him with a warm hug. “You are finally home…” she looked at him with misty eyes.

She stared at the bandages wrapping his forehead and pressed her lips. Jin pouted and held her face. “Mom, I am all healthy now. Look? The injuries on my head are just minor scratches. So please don’t cry anymore,” he said, wiping her eyes. “Hmph, in fact the doctor was really annoying! I wanted to return yesterday itself, but he was so adamant upon me staying for a night more.”

Nana lightly tapped on his head. “You shouldn’t be stubborn about the wrong things. We only want to see you completely recovered.”

Liu Hai patted hard on his back. “Hohoho, Jini-boy is all fine now, Nana dear! Look, he is so pleased to be back home to be with his Grandpa!”

Jin looked at him with disdain.

Liu Chunhua scolded him. “Are you patting my grandson or smacking him? Get away from Jin, you idiot!” She dragged him away despite his protests.

Nuo grinned and hugged him tightly. “Finally, it’s a home sweet home! Now leave everything to your big sis! I will take full responsibility for nursing you back to health.”

He grinned back. “You are the best, sis.”

He then looked beside Nuo and noticed Jun staring at him with relief and joy evident in his eyes.

Jun took a step forward and held his shoulders. A warm and affectionate smile laced his lips as he pulled him in a hug. “Good to see you back, Jin.”

Jin brightened and wrapped his hands around his back. “Bro!”

Nuo sheepishly grinned, feeling joyous to see her family united again. Her gaze fell on Nana, who looked as if she was in a trance. She noticed her staring at Jun and Jin with moist irises.

Nuo whispered, “Mom, are you alright? Why are you crying?” She pouted. “Look, everybody is home now.”

Nana blinked, her stupor breaking. She clasped her hands together, softly shaking her head. “Nothing, my dear. I just…felt very happy seeing Jun and Jin…t-together as brothers…”

She chuckled. “Of course, they would be together. Bro Jun and Jin are the closest haha. Jin follows Bro Jun everywhere like a cute puppy hehe. But don’t tell Jin or he will be mad at me~”

Nana laughed with tears in her eyes and with a glint of wistfulness in them. “Yes…They are the closest. I pray and hope that they…always be the closest like this and that nothing drives them apart…” she whispered to herself, “not again…”

Jun patted his brother’s head and smiled. “You should only focus on resting now.”

He sighed. “Bro, I will get bored with so much resting.”

“Shut up. You have suffered a concussion. Be quiet. The only job you have now is to sleep on the bed.”

Jin gave a dissatisfied look, making him chuckle. Jun gave a look around and asked, “Shui didn’t come with you?”

He slightly stiffened.

Nuo remembered. “Oh yes! Where is Shui? I thought she would accompany you too!”

“A-Ah no…I mean there wasn’t any need for her to come, so I let her go back,” he smiled.

Liu Chunhua came back, dusting her hands after taking care of her husband and said, “How could you send her back? Do you know how worried Shui was for you? She stayed by your side the whole time and you just sent her back. We wanted to thank her too!” She harrumphed. “Nana even cooked her favorite dishes for her.”

Jin looked slightly awkward. “S-Sorry I just thought Shui was really tired. So, I sent her back to rest…”

“Hm, well you are right about that too. Haha no worries! We will treat her to a good meal later!” She chirped.

Jun narrowed his eyes. “Yes, Jin. Be sure to invite Shui next time.”

Jin could sense the sharpness in his tone. “Of course. Sis can talk to her and-”

“It’s you who is going to invite her, Jin,” It was Nana who cut him off and sternly corrected him. “She has been there with you every single time and has diligently taken care of you like a…good friend. It’s only fair that you repay her kindness, right?”

He replied after a short pause, “…Yeah, Mom.”

Jun stared into his gaze that Jin kept averting from him.

I knew it. I thought Jin wanted to repair his relationship with Shui, but it seems like there is still something else that is stopping him.

But isn’t everything resolved now? So why is Jin hesitating so much?

Jin quickly tried to shift the topic. “Mom, I am super hungry now! Let’s sit for breakfast already!”

He noticed Jun’s eyes that said, ‘I know what you are trying to do.’ which he ignored and looked away.

Hearing the mention of breakfast, Liu Hai came back to life and laughed. “Yes, it’s food time and this time it will be even more fun!”

“Huh? More fun? Why?” Jin shuddered. “What are you plotting? Whatever it is, keep me away from your plans!”

“Shut up, Jini-boy!” He glared at him. “I am not plotting anything. In fact, there is one more person joining us from now on, hohoho!”

Jin looked confused. “Who-”

His jaw dropped seeing Ai arrive with the twins from upstairs. He pointed his trembling finger at her and asked, “Don’t tell me that one more person is Zhou Ai?”

Nuo clapped. “Yes! Tadah! Sister-in-law and Bro Jun will be living with us here from now on! It will be so fun, right?”

His face blackened. “It’s not fun for me! I don’t like Zhou Ai at all!”

Ai furrowed her brows. “Lying is not a good habit, Jin. I know that you like me a lot,” she nodded sincerely.

The twins chimed in. “Just like he super loves his elder twins too~ He is just a shy boy~”

He gnashed his jaw. “Shut up you three! When did you join hands with these troublemakers, Zhou Ai?”

“Hey! Don’t try to brainwash her!”

Jun left Jin and Zhou Ai to their own banter and went ahead towards the dining table. He got a message from Sky and raised his brow as he read the news circulating in the media now.
