Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 74 Revenge From The Bullies

Ai raised her head but couldn't clearly see his face. It looked all hazy.

But if she could have, she would have realized how perilous his dark eyes looked right now. The air vibrated with the familiar imminent danger that was going to befall.

"Hmm…humm…"

Ai licked her lips and slowly fell asleep.

Jun was speechless. "Hey! Tell me their names. You told me the whole story. Be awake for two more seconds and spill out their names."

But she was already knocked out.

Jun gasped in exasperation and leaned back. "That would have been easier but oh well, I have other methods too," he eerily smiled.

He called his cousin Yunru.

"Bro! How did you call me today? Did you miss me?"

"Shut up. Find something for me. There is a woman named Zhou Ai. She was bullied during a trip in her middle school by two classmates. Around nine to ten years ago. Get me their names."

"Huh? Who is Zhou Ai?"

"Don't ask anything and just do it."

He whined. "So mean! Let me in the fun too~" _{you doing it or not?"}

"I will, I will! Geez, so impatient! What's the school name?"

"That you have to find out."

"..."

"Give me some starting point, bro!"

"I already did. Zhou Ai. Middle school. Nine to ten years back. Two classmates. A school trip. They bullied her. How much more do you need?"

"..."

"Get me their names in fifteen minutes."

"What? That's impossible-"

Jun hung up.

Fifteen minutes later, he promptly got their names with a whining message from Yunru that he ignored. One was Su Lingxin and another was Xiong Hui. Coincidentally, both were B-list actresses currently having side character roles in a movie under production.

Jun narrowed his eyes.

This movie…

He knew someone who worked in that movie.

Cool. This will be easier.

He dialed a number and smiled. "Hey. I heard there are two actresses in the movie you are working in."

An impending glint flickered in his eyes and he sneered. "I want to have some fun with them."

A few hours later, Ai yawned and slowly opened her eyes. She furrowed her brows feeling minor cramps in her stomach.

Stomach…

She blinked as she felt a presence. She lowered her head and saw a hand gently resting on it. She widened her eyes and jerked her head back to see Jun sleeping beside her. His chest was hugging her back. His arm was bent at his elbow over her pillow and his head was propped on his left hand with his eyes shut. His right hand was on her belly, snaking it over her waist.

Even though Jun was asleep, he was still lightly patting his fingers on her belly. Ai noticed and felt his feathery like movements as if he was trying to ease her pain.

She slowly looked back at him in a daze. The soft sunlight through the window shone upon his neck and chest and partially over his cheek. The shadow that fell over his handsome facial features made her breath hitch. Even in his sleep, he looked in control and in command as if saying, 'Don't mess with me.'

Ai parted her lips in surprise. _​

He was here the whole time…?

Jun stirred in his sleep and woke up too. Their gazes met. "You are awake? How are you feeling now?"

"Huh? M-Much better."

Jun closely watched her expression and nodded in satisfaction. She didn't look so tragic as she was in the morning.

He glanced around and stiffened. He realized the intimate posture they were in.

There was a long silence.

Ai was about to say when he exclaimed. "I am not a pervert!"

He made some distance between them and immediately sat upright. He rubbed his hands together and shouted in his defense. "I heard patting the stomach helps ease the pain! I wasn't harassing you in your sleep! Nothing happened between us!"

"I know," Ai quickly answered to calm him down. "I am not accusing you of anything."

"Oh? Oh-oh…That's good," he cleared his throat, feeling relieved.

What is wrong with me? Why did I care so much about her that I slept beside her?

He thought he would leave after she fell asleep, but he couldn't. Before he knew it, he was embracing her from her back and patting her stomach.

Ai earnestly thought about Jun's different sides. When she broke the news of her moving out last night, he seemed so frightening as if she had chartered into dangerous territory. His whole presence was threatening her to not offend him.

But now he was flustering upon seeing them sleep on the same bed as if last night was all an illusion.

She clasped her hands together. "Actually, I am grateful. It feels much better thanks to you doing that. So thank you."

"H-hm."

The slight awkwardness disappeared by a ding from Jun's tab. He checked it, and his eyes twinkled evilly. "Come here. Let's watch some news~"

Ai tilted her head. "News?"

"Just come here. No, wait. I will shift to your side…" he scooted closer to her, making her slightly swallow her saliva. It was hard to know if she felt hot because she was feverish or due to Jun's body hugging her.

"My cousin forwarded me some juicy video," he smirked.

Ai was puzzled. She never thought Jun would be the kind to enjoy gossip.

She leaned in anyway and saw two faces flashing in the news video.

Ah?

In the video, Su Lingxin and Xiong Hui were running like crazy women on the movie sets and screaming at the top of their voices.

"Dead body!" Su Lingxin gasped.

"There is a dead body inside!" Xiong Hui yelled.

"I-Its head…it's backward!"

"There is blood everywhere! Ahhhh!!! Help!"

What caused more uproar was that they claimed the grotesque dead body had jumped on them to attack. Their tears had ruined their makeup such that they looked like ghosts themselves.

Everything was caught live on a camera, and it was revealed that it was just someone from the staff playing a prank on them. The blood was fake.

Everybody felt pitiful for them on social media, but they were also laughing at them screaming and running like two crazy people.

Jun chuckled. "Fun, right?"

He was extremely pleased. They bullied Ai, so he just made them pay twice the damage. Dead bodies were more frightening than monsters.

Ai was left speechless. She was too drowsy, so she didn't remember much about telling Jun about the middle school incident.

Who knew Su Lingxin and Xiong Hui would face retribution one day? Ai wondered.

It had been years since the incident, nevertheless Ai felt satisfied in her heart. They were pure bullies, and people like them never changed.

As they watched the video on his tab, Jun's phone lit up with Yunru's message.

'Bro! Guess what? Sky just received a story draft from the author with whom you have a love-hate relationship! MissImperfectlyFine!'
