Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Yating restlessly moved from his left to right side on the bed, feeling sweaty and breathless.
He rubbed his forehead and pressed his brows, coughing a lot.
He was quite exhausted with back to back meetings and responsibilities in Gu Corps and Dream High when Guiying and Zhan Yahui insisted him to leave for the day and rest at home.

Guiyingare you still here

He heard no response.
He felt his head aching and the surroundings spinning in front of him.

The doorbell rang a few times, and he didnt even have the energy to get up.
Guiyingcan you get that

When he still got no response and the doorbell still kept ringing, he had no choice but to attend it on his own.
He opened the door and was surprised to see Ai.
Ai?

Ais eyes widened seeing him in such a weak state.
He was clutching his stomach with beads of sweat escaping his forehead.
What happened to you?

Nothing

Ai quickly helped him inside and made him sit on the couch.
First, you sit down.
I didnt know you were in such a dire condition.

Yating tried to focus on her, but his gaze was getting more and more blurry.
Idont know what happened.
I was feeling tired and then my stomach started to ache he breathed hard.
Whywhy are you here? He breathlessly asked.

Because you messaged me for help.
Now, I know why.

I did? Yating couldnt exactly remember.
Though he did faintly remember trying to call Guiying before.

Did I accidentally message Ai at that time?

His headache was getting worse and making him unable to think.

Where isshe?

She?

Ah? Ah yes he whispered.
Guiying.
She was the one whotook me home.

Oh.
I dont see her, Ai said as she looked around his house.

Is she out to get medicine? He mumbled to himself.

Ai pursed her lips.
How did your condition get so bad?

Yating waved his hand.
I am fineYou can go.

He wobbled on his feet and headed towards his room.

Wait! I will help you.

I am fine, Ai.
You can leave he blinked his eyes, feeling painful in his head.
Guiying will be back in sometime.

Yes but until then, I cannot leave you alone.
What if you fainted? Have you eaten anything?

Yating brought his brows closer.
I am not sureif I want to eat anything he said as he laid on the bed.

Then I will make some rice porridge for you.
It will be light on your stomach.

No, reallydont take so much trouble for me, he weakly whispered.

Ai smiled.
Its no trouble.
Wait for me.

Outside, Guiying had seen Ai rushing towards Yatings house.
An hour ago, Yating genuinely seemed to be sick and tired.
At first, she didnt think of it much.
But thinking about his weak condition, she slowly formed a plan in her mind.
So, she offered him a ride back home after talking to him with Zhan Yahui.

She helped him settle, took his phone and dropped a message to Ai.
Rest all was what Ai needed to do.

Guiying smiled.
Let the game begin.

Xing Bi had no clue why she was doing this.
Before she knew it, she caught a cab and started following Sun Bais cab.
Seeing Sun Bai in perfect health when she was supposed to be on sick leave crept an odd feeling in her heart.

I dont know why I am following her.
She is Miss.
Sun.
Very capable and hardworking.
Maybe she wasnt that seriously sick?

Xing Bi kept scratching her chin, trying to decide whether to stop following her or not.

If Miss.
Sun sees me following her, I will be so dead.
What will I tell her if she catches me? She will feel sad to know that I am doubting her, right?

She exhaled a sigh and felt guilty for this act.

Suddenly, Sun Bais cab stopped and so did Xing Bis.
Xing Bi craned her neck and saw Sun Bai stepping down with the man who accompanied her and walked into a small apartment complex.

She cleared her throat.

Is that her boyfriend?

But Xing Bi couldnt quite like the aura that man gave off.
He had a beard and messy hair and his overall expression looked quite stingy.

Is that man really her boyfriend?

Xing Bi waited for a while but then decided to leave.
She said to the cab driver.
Take me back to this address

Just two seconds later, she saw Sun Bai stepping out again with a grim countenance on her face.

Wait, wait! Xing Bi stopped the driver.

The drivers mouth twitched.

What does this woman want?

She didnt see the man again with Sun Bai as she left the apartment.

Maybe this is his houseBut Miss.
Sun doesnt look so happy.

She saw Sun Bai taking another cab and leaving.
Xing Bi glanced at the apartment once again, not really knowing what to think.
She particularly didnt get any answers by following her and her stalking trip proved to be fruitless.

Once again, Xing Bi felt guilty.

Maybe Miss.
Sun really had some reason for faking a sick leave.

She thought back to that night at Sky.

I am definitely overthinking stuff.

Lets go.

The driver asked, You dont want to follow her, Mam?

She coughed.
No.
Take me back.
For real this time.

Ai brought a bowl of warm rice porridge for Yating and placed it on the bedside table near him.
Eat it.

Yating coughed.
I really dont feel like eating

Eat it, it was more of an order than a request.

He promptly took the bowl so as not to offend her further.
Thanks

As he ate the porridge, he glanced at Ai who was seriously watching him back and ensuring that he wasnt skipping any bite.

Sensing his stare, Ai asked, Do you need something else?

Hm? Oh no, no! Yating quickly smiled it off.
He wiped his forehead, feeling nervous.

This is the first time that she is at my house, right?
