Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chyou lifted her heavy costume and effortlessly ran towards him without tripping even once.

"Juuun!" She hopped to give him a warm hug.

"Hey, hey. Careful. You are wearing high heels," Jun's gaze darkened. "Do you want to twist your ankle?"

She pinched and squished his cheeks to her heart's content. "This queen isn't afraid of falling. Even if I fall, I will stand right back up because I am born to shine~"

Jun rolled his eyes. "Drama queen."

"That's my job," she winked. "How could I control when I finally see you at my set? I invited you so many times before, but you never agreed."

"I hate people and commotion and activity. This set is just that. And you have thoroughly made me compensate you with my money," he sneered. "I know you secretly wanted me to reject your invitation just to grab at my black card."

"Money is a very beautiful asset to have you know, especially when you get it for free~"

Jun dryly commented. "You can get it for free from the money tree in your house who is your father."

Chyou pouted. "Looting from my cute Jun is a different feeling altogether."

He glared at her and then snorted. "Enough about me. Don't thank me for coming here. It's to fulfill my girlfriend's wish, who I want to introduce you to."

Jun looked at Ai to introduce her but was speechless to see her frozen like a block of ice at her place.

"Ai, I really cannot tell if you are a human or a mannequin at this point," his mouth twitched, "At least smile and let me know that I am not talking to a statue."

Ai could hardly hear him talking. She was so mesmerized by Chyou's performance that it was alone enough to drown her into a trance. Then her beautiful idol suddenly flew at her side like the most breathtaking angel. Chyou looked so stunning in the empress costume that Ai couldn't take her eyes off her. The woman she saw in movie theatres was right in front of her, breathing and talking.

Jun felt this strange sense of crisis arise in his heart. He shook her hard. "Ai! You better not forget you are my girlfriend. You are straight for God's sake!"

Ai finally mumbled out a few words. "I don't know anymore..."

"..."

Chyou clutched her stomach and laughed out loudly. "Oh my, she is so cute!"

He gritted his teeth. "Of course, she is. How about you make your face a little ugly?"

"Why?"

"I have serious concerns about my girlfriend's sexuality now."

"Pfft..."

Chyou pushed him away and scolded him. "Don't get in the way of an idol fan bonding time."

A vein popped on his forehead. "Right now, you are getting into the way of my happy relationship."

She shrugged. "It's not my fault that I am more charming than you."

"..."

Chyou ignored him and eagerly held Ai's hand. "So you are Zhou Ai! I was dying to meet you."

Ai gasped, feeling her hand in hers. She looked at Jun. "Sh-she is holding my hand..."

He sneered with disdain. "Yeah I can see that. How is it that I never saw you get so excited when I hold your hands?"

"Can you compare yourself to Zhu Chyou?"

"..."

Ai cleared her throat and was finally coming to her senses. "He-Hello...I am Zhou Ai. I have watched all your movies, and I want to tell you that I really love all of them," her cheeks flushed crimson, "You are a great actress, and you express yourself so well. Every character you have played is beautiful and inspiring. Even now, I felt the chills as you acted as the empress. I really a-adore you. I always wanted to meet you and finally I am, but..." she took a deep breath, "it still feels like a dream."

Chyou stared at her dumbfounded and seriously looked at Jun. "Can I keep her with me?"

Jun pulled Ai to his side and exclaimed. "Don't even think about it!"

"B-but she is so cute!" She cried. "I have met many fans before, but her sincerity is just so...just so...Can I at least kiss her on her cheek?"

"No way!"

She already looks like she is ready to hop into your ship and leave me. Do you think I am an idiot to let you kiss her!?

Chyou grabbed their hands. "Oof, we have taken too much time here. Let's go into my makeup room to chat!"

Stepping into her private room, Jun and Ai took their seats. Ai was still busy grasping the experience of being with her idol.

Chyou complained. "You still haven't paid me generously for taking care of Su Lingxin and Xiong Hui that day."

Ai snapped out of her stupor.

The bullies from my middle school?

Jun narrowed his eyes. "It's not my fault if your greed is never-ending."

"It's not greed. It's called giving respect to your elders."

Ai asked, "Su Lingxin and Xiong Hui?"

Chyou chuckled. "Yeah. They were the bullies from your school who played a prank on you during your school trip, right?"

She was taken aback. "How do you know...?"

"Because I played a prank of my own on them~ A prank directed by your boyfriend. It was such a picture perfect scene. Remember how they were in the news screaming and running here and there over a ghost and dead body? That was all planned by Jun to take revenge from them for hurting you in the past?"

Ai widened her eyes. She stared at Jun, stupefied. "You did that for me?"

Jun harrumphed. "Yes, I did that. So rejoice and remember that you are very happy with your BOYFRIEND."

"..."

Chyou clicked her tongue. "So jealous. Learn to have a big heart."

"No, thanks. It already feels like the whole world is eyeing my Ai."

His heart burned with the thought of Yating and Cai Lingyun.

"I don't need any more additions to it, man or woman."
