Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Jin blinked rapidly, surprised at the invitation. "Why do you want me to dance with you?"

"Because I feel pitiful for you. Is that reason enough?"

His gaze darkened. "I don't need your pity!"

"But I need some entertainment," Alix frowned.

He sneered. "Not my problem."

"Will you accept my hand or should I scream at the top of my voice about your feelings for Shui?"

He scoffed. "You won't do that."

"You know you can try to hide that smell with a gum, but you have definitely smoked, right?"

His eyes narrowed.

She smiled. "Why would you smoke at such a cool party? Are you sad? Are you depressed?"

He glared at her.

"Dance with me or I will scream. And I will scream if you don't agree. What do I have to lose anyway? My reputation is already in the dumps," she chuckled. "Oh, you can also use this chance to make Shui jealous~"

Jin grimaced and accepted her hand. "I don't want to make anybody jealous. And I want you off my back, so let's get this over with."

"I am not getting off your back anytime soon," she laughed heartily.

Mui, who was dancing with one of the reputed professionals, watched in shock as Alix came on the floor with Jin. Not only her but everybody had their jaws dropped.

Yuze's eyes slightly widened. "Alix and Liu Jin will be dancing…?"

Shui, too, was surprised to see that Jin would agree. Usually, he never liked to become the center of attention. Then she considered Alix's nature and sighed.

She must have threatened him for sure… .net

The music started and as everybody danced, the more burning question in everybody's mind was about Jin and Alix. At first, Alix chased after Yuze but ever since she woke up from her coma, it seemed that her craziness for him had settled down.

But now she was close to Jin so did that mean that there was something going between them?

The questions and doubts floated around.

"It's strange," Yuze cocked his brow. "Did Alix ever mention her interest in Liu Jin?"

Shui replied. "I really don't think it's like that. Alix is most definitely just having fun teasing him. But I am happy to see her like this," she smiled.

Her gaze slightly turned glassy thinking of the past. "When I think about Alix before the accident happened, it…swells up my heart. She was too obsessed with you and it was only eating her up from the inside."

Shui glanced at him and pressed her lips for a moment.

"I am just curious though."

"Yes?" Yuze questioningly smiled.

"About you and Alix. How did Alix confess to you?"

"Ah…It was around seven or eight years ago I think?" He awkwardly smiled. "Our families have known each other for quite some time because our businesses are so related. We manufacture raw materials for clothing and the Ren family is into designing. We got into a partnership like that and that's how Xiao and I met Alix and Mui.

At first Alix was helping out her father with the business while also continuing with her studies."

Yuze then released a sigh. "It was really fun. We four had bonded well beyond just the business aspect too. But then I guess things slowly started to change from Alix's side…and then one day she confessed to me. We were already good friends and our families knew each other so I didn't think anything was wrong in giving it a shot. I accepted."

"But by the time we met in Guangzhou, you two had…"

A lamentful smile slightly curled his lips. "Yeah things didn't work out."

He twirled Shui once and continued. "It was fine in the beginning but then Alix was slowly getting more and more possessive and controlling. There was a problem with every woman I talked to. At one point, it just felt suffocating. I broke up…but then you already saw what happened during your trip. Alix refused to let go of me."

"I see…"

Yuze asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shui thought about it for a moment and said, "Nothing really. I guess Alix's memories are still jumbled up."

"Why?"

"Well, during our last art class, she had something different to say. She said that you had confessed to her instead of her confessing you and she rejected you."

Yuze stared at her, speechless. "Huh? That's…the complete opposite of what actually happened."

"That's what she is sticking to."

He shook his head. "Then it's definitely her memories that are messing up her mind. I don't blame her though. Ever since our breakup, she hadn't been in control of her emotions…Maybe her coma is mixing up the order."

From the other side as Alix and Jin were tuned to their own dance, she smiled. "It's nice to see people's envy."

"Envy?" Jin raised his brow.

"Look at how the women are biting on their nails with frustration. A previous madwoman is sharing a dance with Liu Jin. How come she deserves to dance with him? Has she now changed her target from Kang Yuze to Liu Jin? I want to dance with Liu Jin too," she mimicked their pouted expressions with a touch of her own comedy.

His brow twitched. His gaze then fell upon Shui and Yuze.

"That's the eleventh time you are looking that way. So insulting when a beautiful woman is right in your arms~"

He scowled. "I am not looking at them."

"Sure if you say so," she said insincerely.

"Why did you offer to dance?"

"I like to spite people."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. Touching people's sore spots earns me some very interesting reactions."

"You like people cursing you?"

She snorted. "Only cowards curse. I like people who are courageous enough to act on their stupid impulses. I like it even more when I can use their little acts of impulses for my own purposes."

"I have no clue what you are talking about," Jin gave up. "You only talk in circles."

"Ah trust me, Liu Jin. The party has been very boring. It's now that the real fun will begin~"
