Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 402 A Hissing Cat And A Friendly Cat

Jun grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap. He locked her body with his arms. "Aren't you too cruel for already leaving when we have just patched up?"

"Did we? I don't remember," she gave him a displeased stare.

He seriously nodded. "That's true. I think you won't understand my feelings through words."

Without giving her any time to react, he leaned and kissed her lips. She tried to struggle but all in vain when his fingertips caressed her cheeks. Each brush of his lips against hers felt like a gush of warmth and fluffiness tickling his chest. He hugged her tighter, feeling as it was ages since he held her.

It was just one night without her, yet he missed her like anything.

It was just one day that their fight lasted, yet the distance had stabbed his heart with knives.

Claiming her lips to his heart's content, he buried his face in the nape of her neck and peppered soft kisses on her skin. His eyelashes fluttered against it, and he couldn't help but chuckle thinking of the difference between the last night and today.

"I thought we won't talk for days..." he mumbled.

Ai complained. "You surely looked like that to me. I wouldn't have let you keep your silence anyway," she then said, "I have decided now that I won't meet or talk to Yating anymore."

"No," he pressed his forehead against shoulder. "You don't have to do that. I don't want to restrict your freedom. I don't want to be such a controlling boyfriend. I know I don't have to feel threatened by Gu Yating...It was my mistake that I did."

He mumbled to himself. "I am too possessive at times. I need to keep that in check..."

Ai harrumphed. "You don't have to feel that you are controlling me. It's a decision I have made."

"For which I am the cause. So, no. You don't have to do any of this. I am really fine with you two being friends. But he better do that the same too or I will punch his face," his gaze darkened.

She kissed his forehead. "If he doesn't, then I will set him straight."

He snorted. "Better."

He looked annoyed at first but then sighed. "You were right about Gu Yating last night. It's not wrong if he still somewhere has feelings for you..." it was an extremely difficult and uncomfortable truth to confess. "Firstly, you are so amazing that it's hard to give up on you. And then," his gaze dimmed, "It's equally hard to move on from your first love. I have treated him unjustly..."

She shook her head. "You don't have to blame yourself. If Shui had feelings for you too, maybe, I would have acted the same way. But she doesn't and that's why I underestimated the situation between you and Yating. I am sorry," she regretted.

Jun fumed and pinched her cheek hard.

"Ow-ow!"

"Didn't I tell you not to apologize? You really don't listen to me, don't you?"

She rubbed her cheek in displeasure. "Sometimes I don't like how doting you are."

"..."

I never thought that would be a point of complaint...

He sighed pressing his temples.

Ai blinked. "Are you not feeling well?" She then realized and her shoulders slumped. "Is it because you couldn't get decent sleep last night?"

"No...It's something that-"

Jun widened his eyes and straightened up, knocking Ai's balance too. But she was safe in his grip anyway. "I forgot to tell you!"

"What is it?"

"Something strange happened today when Aunt and I were coming back to Sky."

He quickly recounted the events surrounding the cat and the golden clock which he assumed he wasn't hallucinating.

"I feel like I heard something too. Was it Shui or somebody else...? I don't remember anymore. But it was so strange. It suddenly became night in front of me. The same night when we died and that clock was floating in the air. That sound was so loud that it's still ringing in my ears."

Her lips parted slightly in shock and bewilderment. "This happened near Dream High?"

"Yeah. It was the same road. It felt as if I could clearly see my car crashing from the opposite side. You know like...the whole accident was happening in front of me. Did it ever happen to you?"

She furrowed her brows in deep thought. "I did go to Dream High once in the very beginning. It was Christmas night when I met Yating. But...I didn't see a clock at that time or I didn't have this experience."

Jun was puzzled.

Then why did only I see it?

"Do you know something that might have triggered the vision?"

He was clueless. "Nothing. We were just in the cab going towards the cat shelter."

With that, Ai mentioned. "It's strange. You know, I met a cat today too. He was in the alley near the library. His eyes were just like you. And then he hissed at me a lot which again reminded me of you."

"..."

Jun gritted his teeth and smiled. "You mean to say that I am not friendly?"

"You were not in the beginning."

"..."

"But then you warmed up to me," she looked proud, "I am sure I will win over the cat too one day, and he will let me pet him."

"Yeah I hope he doesn't let you," he sneered.

She felt dissatisfied. "You are so vengeful. But coming back to the point, maybe it's something related to what grandma said at the carnival. It's a place where we died together. Maybe that's why..."

She wondered if she would see that golden clock too if she visited Dream High again.

"How about we go to that place together again? Maybe we will see that clock again," she suggested.

"That's a good idea. Maybe the voices that I heard...will become clearer."

"Oh and how was the cat that you met?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Jun smiled. "It's such a coincidence. She had the same light brown irises as you. She reminded me of you. She was so cool. She scratched the bullies and..." he gleefully said, "she warmed up to me and let me ruffle her too~"

Listening to this, Ai felt extremely jealous.

Why couldn't I pet the cat I met?

She answered calmly. "It was to be expected. We seem to be similar, so we are very warm and friendly towards other people."

"..."

Your jealousy is leaking, my dear girlfriend...
