Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

"I am here!" Chyou furiously waved her hand in excitement as she saw Yating arrive.

Yating cocked his brow and chuckled. "Seems like somebody's relationship is going really well. Just look at the glow in your face."

She sheepishly grinned. "Yeah we had been on a few dates in the last month and they were perfect. Yin is being really good to me."

She thought of Jun's three months' limit for Cheng Yin to prove himself. But until now, Chyou had nothing to complain about. He had sincerely let go of drugs which was also reflecting in his complexion that seemed better than before.

"That's why I want to give him something special on his birthday!" She chirped.

He smiled. "Are you sure you don't WANT a gift this time? It feels so weird to do gift shopping but not for you."

"..."

Chyou smacked him on his shoulder while also coughing simultaneously on her side. "O-of course not! Do you think I am addicted to gifts or something?"

"You tell me," Yating lightly chuckled again.

She puffed her cheeks in disagreement but then scrunched her brows a little. "You seem a little tired."

"Ah? Oh no, no. It's just...work has been a little hectic," he cleared his throat.

"Are you sure?" She leaned in and narrowed her eyes.

Yating slightly widened his eyes with the proximity and coughed. He didn't know why but he averted his eyes. "Yeah, really."

Chyou was unconvinced, but she let it go for now. "Okay, if you say so."

He flicked on her forehead. "Let's go now."

"Yes, but first let me do some disguise, which is nothing but some makeup and shades," she sighed, "or people will recognize me."

He frowned. "Just go as you are."

"I cannot. My fans will instantly recognize me and they would want to click pictures, which is not a bad thing. But then they will post those pictures on social media. If Yin sees this place or the shop, he will definitely figure out that I went for his gift!" She sweated. "It will ruin the whole surprise. Don't worry about me. It's fine. That's the life of actors. I am used to it."

"You should be used to going normally and freely anywhere, not worrying about wearing a disguise the whole time," he shook his head.

"Aish, you are so sweet, Yating!" His concern moved her heart.

Before she could do her disguise, he asked, "Let's do that later. How about we eat some food first? I think we are both hungry."

Which was proved true when her stomach grumbled.

"I knew it. You directly came from the set in a rush," he narrowed his eyes.

She coughed, feeling guilty.

"So first let's stuff ourselves with food and then we can do all the shopping we want."

"I agree! Hey, I heard a new restaurant has opened up in this area and it has tons of good food," she drooled. "It has great reviews too. How about we try there~?"

"Sure," he smiled.

--

The restaurant was a cozy place with a retro look to it. The minimalist and artistic interior design with a historical touch felt as if they stepped into a distant era of the past. The customer rush was medium.

"It's cool," 'Guiying' said as 'she' looked around the restaurant. The atmosphere felt warm and comfortable. "It's really beautiful."

Zixin was slightly nervous and worried if 'she' would like the place, but he was relieved to see that she did.

'She' looked back at him and smiled. "I didn't know that Chen Corps CEO can have such taste too. I was under the impression that rich people only fancied five-star hotels."

Zixin looked thoughtful. "Five-star hotels are good. But the place feels too rigid at times. It's like I cannot completely relax."

"I see," 'she' lifted her brow and chuckled. "I get what you mean. So rich people are humans too it seems."

He blinked. "You thought I wasn't a human?"

'Her' brow twitched. "I definitely didn't take you as an alien. It was about the attitude. Like I said, I thought you people fancy lavish hotels and elegance more. This restaurant is great too but not really the kind of a place I can imagine wealthy people going."

He thought about it and nodded. "That's true."

"Hm."

"But you don't have to worry. I want to be at places with you where you will feel the most comfort and joy."

'Guiying' choked hard. A waitress passing by them almost dropped the tray she was holding. Her face burned red, somehow deriving a very perverted meaning out of his sentence.

I-Is he hinting about the be-bedroom? Gosh, why am I single!?

She scurried away, lamenting and questioning why she was still single.

'Guiying' didn't exactly think the same and as far as the waitress did, but 'she' definitely felt something not so innocent about it.

"Why did you choke? Are you alright?" Zixin asked with concern.

'She' glared at him. "First you make me choke and then you show your concern?"

"When did I make you choke?" He was seriously puzzled. "I didn't even touch you."

"You..." 'she' didn't know anymore on how to scold him, so 'she' quickly walked her way towards their reserved table and gulped a glass of water to calm herself.

Zixin sat opposite her and as he noticed the odd and funny expressions on her face, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't laugh when you are at fault!"

He blinked. "I just thought you looked cute."

"..."

'Guiying' was at her limit of bearing his teasing so 'she' unconsciously secluded back which brought Guiying up in the front. Feeling awake and in attention all of a sudden, she froze.

W-wait 'you' went back?

Just shut up and deal with him was what 'she' scolded her.

Guiying's face flushed even harder because she wasn't prepared to have this meal with Zixin directly.

I thought 'she' would have this meal with him, but 'she' pulled back!

Guiying broke into cold sweat.

"Are you okay?" Zixin asked.

"Huh? Y-yes! Thank you very much for inviting me here. I am honored!" She nervously exclaimed.

Zixin stared at her and realized then. "You are..."

"Zixin?" He heard a voice calling out to him.

Zixin and Guiying both looked up and were taken aback upon seeing Chyou and Yating standing before their table.

Chyou beamed. "So it is really you! What a surprise meeting you here."
