Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

'Guiying' stared at him blankly, unable to process the information.

Zixin?

Jun could see the confusion crystal clear in 'her' eyes, and he combed through his hair in frustration. He was well aware that he shouldn't push this conversation but watching his cheery cousin Yunru suffer because of the baseless accusation and his pure feelings towards Huan being made a joke of in front of the whole world, he couldn't just control himself anymore.

Yunru…

Suddenly, he felt a familiar fluffy sensation against his temple and his expression twisted.

"..."

Jin, who watched Ai pushing a feather duster against Jun's head for the first time, burst out in speechlessness. "Hey! What are you doing to my brother! Back off!"

He grabbed her and pulled her back and viewed Ai as some dangerous terrorist carrying a bomb.

"This is a sure shot way of cooling down his head," she calmly explained.

Jin observed Jun's displeased expression and looked back at her. "Just look at Bro and tell me how in the world is that a sure shot way? Does he seem cooled off to you!?"

"He isn't?"

"Ai…" Jun made his voice sound as low and threatening as possible. "How many feather dusters do you have?"

She paused to give it a thought. "Three. One at our condo, second at the Liu villa and third at Sky. I always come prepared."

!!!

Ai smiled. "See? Now you don't look so troubled."

"I am troubled because of your feather dusters!"

"How can this cute and fluffy feather duster trouble you? How can your heart be this cold?" She pursed her lips.

The brows of the two brothers twitched violently.

Ai sighed and held his head between her palms. "I understand what you are feeling. I am also equally angry with Yunru and Miss. Sun being used like that. But we cannot lose our calm or it will be the enemy's victory. It's our turn to make them anxious now."

Jun pressed his lips, unable to refute. He lowered his gaze and said, "You are right."

Ai nodded.

He glanced back at 'Guiying' and releasing a deep sigh, he apologized. "I am sorry for being pushy. It was fine if it was me, but I cannot stay calm when somebody hurts my loved ones."

'Guiying' stared at him and then at Zixin who nervously kept checking on 'her.' "You said that Zixin is MrPerfect and that Guiying was talking to her."

"Yes."

"But then you are also MrPerfect."

"This is going to be a long story so please sit down and I will explain everything from the beginning."

"I am fine just standing. You start talking."

Jun exchanged glances with Ai and Jin once and they nodded in return.

"It all started when Bro Zixin came to Sky to meet me one day…"

And he went on explaining everything to 'Guiying' slowly and cautiously, taking pauses wherever he felt was required.

"So we come to today where there is this huge misunderstanding between us. Cai Guiying. I was never the man who sent you any letters or gifts or flowers. It was always Bro Zixin."

There was a sharp and long silence after that and nobody rushed 'her' either. They focused on 'her' who seemed to be having a whirlwind of thoughts in her mind and a whirlwind it indeed was.

Even though 'Guiying' wanted to refute this nonsense claim of confusion between the same identity, 'she' and Guiying both strangely felt that it all made sense.

Especially Guiying within her who always felt such sound and resounding similarities between Zixin and MrPerfect. Their words, actions, tone and everything was so familiar to the point it hurt and stabbed her heart because it was due to Zixin that she couldn't completely forget MrPerfect.

'Whatever it is, I only suggest not to fall for it.'

'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.'

But even if they wanted to believe their heart, 'Guiying' found it unable to take that step as 'she' kept recalling Zhan Yahui's words.

'She' gritted her teeth, throwing 'her' fierce glare at him. "Liu Jun…can you be anymore shameless!? Just because you don't want to take responsibility, you are pinning all the blame to Zixin?"

Jun widened his eyes. "Blame? I am not getting anything by dragging Bro into this. He is in this because he was already involved."

"And you expect me to believe you especially when Zixin doesn't remember a single thing? Isn't that awfully convenient for you!? Zixin would have even believed you because he has no memories, right? You can feed him whatever version of truth you want him to believe in."

"There is no other version of truth because this is the only truth. Don't you find it strange? Bro Zixin never had anything to do with this writing world. He wasn't really a book reader either. But he created an account just to meet you. He left Reading Point when Cai Guiying left as well. Even after his memory loss where he remembered nothing, he still somehow ended up being a fan of CherryBlossom and her books. Do you feel that the time Bro spent with you in the past months was a lie?"

'Guiying' stiffened.

"It would be too much to call it a coincidence that before and after the accident, Bro Zixin still felt connected to you. You have to believe me. His laptop was broken and burned in a fire in Chyou's film set just so that we cannot find out your identity. Chuck his laptop, his whole accident was planned to stop him from meeting you in Shanghai!"

'Guiying' looked incredulous. "And you think somebody planned this elaborate setup? Who do you think Guiying is? I have been with her this whole time. There is nobody in this world who hates Guiying to the point of going so far against her!? Forget hate. Nobody even really dislikes her, not in Dream High or anywhere else!"
