Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 748  Needless concerns

When the morning sun's rays illuminated the room with its soft and pleasant shine, a slit broke through Guiying's sleep and she comfortably yawned. Immediately, she felt a sense as if she was wrapped around something and opening her eyes, it dawned upon her as to what it was.

In front was Zixin's chest and at the back was his arm covering her akin to a prized treasure. She looked like a sweet chocolate carefully wrapped in a colorful paper with carefully tied ribbon around it. It felt warm and comfortable.

Zixin's eyes were still shut in deep sleep with what looked like an infinitesimal smile on his lips as if he was having a pleasant dream. Guiying stared at him hard and a few seconds later, steam was seen escaping the top of her head. She covered her face with her palms.

Not only had they made out with passionate embraces and kisses, they slept through the night entangled within each other's arms. They slept on the same bed and shared the same blanket above them.

W-what should I do now…!? If anybody sees Zixin in my room, they will definitely get the wrong understanding!

At that point, she lamented that she was seduced by Zixin's melodic singing voice. She looked at him aggrieved and couldn't help but reach out to pinch his nose in protest.

"That is not a nice way to wake someone up."

Her brow twitched and as she looked back, she found Zixin's sleepy gaze and black eyes staring at her with a soft smile. Her heart skipped several beats. This was the first time she was witnessing his morning look just out of sleep. The meter of adorableness was filling up fast, gushing her heart with a melted happiness.

"I would prefer a kiss."

"..."

His shameless request broke her reverie that was squealing at his cute morning look that was quickly sidelined.

"I will go back to sleep and you can kiss me to wake up the sleeping prince," Zixin nodded.

The edge of her lips twitched. "You are the sleeping prince?"

"Yes. And you are the princess who lifts the prince's curse."

"You just switched the genders of the original story."

"Ignore the minor technicalities."

"..."

"Aren't stories rewritten and retold so many times? Take this as our modern version."

Guiying pushed her palm on his chest and moved to wake up when his arm around her waist was already restricting her ability to slip past him.

"I am still waiting for my kiss."

"You should leave now!" She urgently whispered. "What if they notice that you aren't in your room?"

"Then they will know that I am in your room," he blinked. "Simple deduction."

Her jaw dropped in shock. "Which is exactly what they shouldn't know! W-We in the same room and l-last…"

Her throat went dry remembering the kisses and that hadn't just traced her lips but also on her neck and various other inexplicable places. Suddenly the settled down heat seemed to fire up on the kisses locations.

"T-They will misunderstand us!"

He raised his brow. "What will they misunderstand?"

"That that actually happened when it didn't!"

"What what happened?"

She threw him a glare. "You exactly know what."

"I am sorry. I don't know what you are talking about. I am the sleeping prince. I am still sleeping. My senses will remain numb until a kiss from the princess lifts my curse."

The shock in her gaze changed to speechlessness.

"Are you the right Chen Zixin that I know?"

"I am the only Chen Zixin you will ever know," he smiled.

A furious blush spread on her cheeks and the sound of his amusing chuckle only added to the redness.

"Sis Guiying! Sis Guiying!"

Loud and hard knocks were heard on the bedroom's door as the twins banged on it with a sense of urgency.

Guiying's face froze with horror while Zixin's face showed several frowns settling on his forehead.

"That's a rude wakeup call. I will scold them."

Guiying pulled his arm back, aghast at his proposition. "They are at the door! MY bedroom door!"

"Indeed," he nodded.

"So this is just what I was telling you about. They will see us together and mi-misunderstand the situation completely!" She spoke in a hushed voice, urging the sense of doom.

"They won't misunderstand the situation. They will understand the situation. The "mis" at the start is unnecessary."

"What is there to understand in this situation!?"

"That their big brother and future sister-in-law need some private time with each other."

"..."

"Rest assured. I have the bosss' approval."

"Bosss'?"

"Grandma and Mom."

"..."

"Sis! Sis! Are you still asleep? Rise and shine! It's a super pleasant morning outside!" The twins chirped.

Zixin's frowned deepened. "They really need a scolding."

Guiying pushed him out of the bed and said, "First you need to hide!"

He stared at her blankly. "Why?"

"Don't make me punch your face," her gaze darkened.

Zixin beamed. "Is it 'you' who is talking? Nice to meet you again. Long time no see," he then hesitated and guilt lowered his gaze. "Please forgive me for what happened last night…I realize it was rude of me to not ask your consent. I am really sorry. I won't repeat this again."

Guiying was about to reply when 'she' came around and flicked on his forehead. "First of all, it was Guiying who said to punch your face, not me. I am impressed. You are bringing out her hidden side. One that perhaps she herself didn't know she might have. She thinks she can be uselessly kind but she can get zesty too~ Second of all, you don't need to keep apologizing to me again and again. I am just a small part inside Guiying. You don't need my consent."

"I do-"

"You don't so I won't bear this nonsense anymore. I want Guiying to be happy. You want Guiying to be happy. It has been a long journey to reach this point. Don't mess this up with needless concerns," 'she' narrowed her eyes. "Now I will take my leave and let Guiying punch your face. Adieus."
