Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 281 Shanghai Fest Arc (33) : Jin's Revelation (1)

*Present*

Ai stared at Jin who seemed to have lost himself in a trance of the past. The past where the days were blissful and without any worries and the days which he felt like living them once again.

"Bro Jun became my most favorite person after that. The most important person in my life. I used to sleep with him in his room and he would tell me all kinds of stories at night. It wasn't Mom who used to do the storytelling part. I loved hearing stories only from him. I loved playing with him the most. I used to sit beside him silently when he was busy reading books or playing games because he didn't like being disturbed.

He treasured his silence and his alone time the most and I never did anything that would bother him. But then he would always stop doing his stuff and asked what I wanted to play. Then we would have lots of fun together. Even though he hated playing with the twins…" he smiled, "he never sent me back. He treated me differently from them."

He smiled. "He used to take care of me whenever I got sick. He used to deal with the boys who would bully me sometimes in school. He always helped me study for my exams and make notes of all the important questions. I really…really treasure him the most. The days when we grew up are really precious to me. But…I was also selfish. I know I should support Bro's love for Shui. But I hated the fact that he paid attention to her. Sometimes…sometimes, I felt that he liked her more than me."

His expression was marred with disdain and apathy. "The more he treated her with affection, the more I felt lost and jealous. Sometimes, I used to secretly bully Shui just to take my revenge, and she never knew who the person was. If she hadn't been in the picture, then Bro's attention from me would never have wavered. It was hard telling him that I didn't like Shui and secretly, I didn't support their relationship when he loved her so much."

He chuckled reluctantly. "But I also knew that I couldn't continue like this forever. I would have to accept them one day or the other. So even though I hated it, I came to terms with the fact that Shui will always be the most important person in his life. She was his choice, and I couldn't do anything about it."

Ai let the silence sink in for sometime. Then she quietly asked, "From what point did everything change? If Jun is so important to you, then why do you hate him so much now?"

Jin narrowed his eyes. He glanced at her and sneered. "You know, Zhou Ai? You claim that you love and trust Bro Jun so much. But I wonder for how long? How far would that trust go?"

"I don't understand."

"Heh. What if I say that Bro Jun is hiding something from you? His most hideous side that might change your impression of him. Maybe you wouldn't love him so much anymore."

"That would never happen," Ai shot him a cold and acute stare.

"Really? Even though you two are in a relationship, I am pretty sure he has missed telling you a most important detail of his life. He isn't being completely honest with you. Which makes me wonder if this is a perfect chance to break you two apart?" He laughed, expressing his evil intentions. "Yup, it's definitely the perfect chance. I hate Bro Jun and I hate you and you two would never be together!"

"No matter what you say, nothing will break us apart," she remained firm.

"Even if I say that he has killed me with his own hands?"

Ai froze.

He shook with an angry tremble. "Even if I say that I did nothing but care for him and love him for my whole life and in the end what I got was a bullet in my chest!?"

He suddenly heard a click coming from the side and the door to the washroom slowly opened with Jun's frame visible in front of him.

Jin's eyes widened, and he was left bewildered to see him here. But he quickly connected the dots and threw a deadly glare towards Ai. "You wanted him to listen to me."

"Because there were things he should have listened to from your own mouth and some feelings that he needed to know which you were hiding," she answered, unperturbed.

"Jin…" Jun slowly and noiselessly walked towards him and stared at his brother. His chest tightened with a feeling he didn't know how to make sense of it. "What…what did you just say?"

Jin quietly but sharply met his gaze, not hiding his animosity at all. His chuckle turned into a laughter as he spoke, "Well, who cares if you heard everything? Actually, it's a good thing that you came, Bro. This way, you can confess to your crimes in front of your girlfriend who you love the most, and I would witness your relationship shattering. Who would want to live with a murderer? That's what I want. To see you suffer!"

He grabbed the tubes and needles which were inserted into him during his treatment and tore it away forcibly. He hissed slightly in pain.

"Jin! What are you doing!?" Jun intervened and grabbed his shoulders to stop him from getting up, but Jin pushed him away.

"Leave!" Jin gasped with pain and breathlessness, and his feet trembled as he struggled to maintain his balance. With his black pupils filled with hatred, he said as he studied the panic in Jun's eyes, "Why do you look like that, Bro? Why do you care if I am hurt or in pain now?" His vacant smile made Jun shudder. "This…this pain is nothing as compared to the pain your bullet brought me. YOUR bullet of all people, Bro…"

Ai felt a chill run in the back of her neck.

What is he talking about? Bullet? Isn't that how he died in the…

She stiffened, thinking about the conclusion she just came to.

Impossible…
