Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

265 Shanghai Fest Arc (19) : Stuck in an elevator



“Awwwwww!”

Jun looked utterly displeased at being called cute again.

I should just delete that word from the dictionary!

“Miss. Zhou, *ahem* I know it’s a really personal question,” one young author trembled with excitement, “But how is Mr. Liu in bed?”

Ai choked. Her face turned instantly beet red.

Jun’s ears immediately pointed out to hear her answer. He didn’t know why, but the nervousness gripped him when asked about his performance.

Nian nudged his elbow and grinned. “Don’t worry, Jun. Even if you are not upto the par, this big brother will teach you all the tricks~”

Jun gritted his teeth. “Sew your mouth shut, Bro,” he then sneered, “If Xing Bi heard about you teaching tricks, then she might think that you have had other women in your life. What if she doesn’t like that?”

“…”

Xing Bi quickly stood up and pulled Ai aside. “Well, thank you so much for being a part of this seminar. We conclude it here.”

“Booooooooo~” They thoroughly expressed their dissatisfaction.

Once the seminar was over, the book signing event quickly started fifteen minutes later. Ai gave signed copies of her short story she told at the Summit with a massive crowd standing in queue to get a glimpse of her.

There were even some readers from Reading Point who were MissImperfectlyFine’s fans that came to Shanghai all the way from their home towns and cities to meet her.

“MissImperfectlyFine, I love you!”

“You know, I watched the Summit clip thousands of times now! I have kept your story video on repeat mode.”

“It was so touching,” one sniffled.

“Have you started working on the sequel?” One reader eagerly asked.

“Yes, yes, I cannot wait to know the ‘He’s’ answer!”

“I will even pre order your book online!”

“Hehe, can you give me a spoiler?” One whispered, “I promise I won’t leak it.”

“Hey, I heard what you asked! That’s not fair. We wanna know the spoilers too~”

Ai was so overwhelmed with their love that she couldn’t help but choke. A pleasant and warm feeling slowly encapsulated her heart, watching their eyes shine with glimmer. Her fingers trembled as she signed the books and handed them to her readers.

“Thank you very much,” she sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Her smile and gaze was so earnest and genuine that it melted their hearts.

Her boyfriend is really lucky to have her!

“Achoo!” Jun sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Yunru grinned. “Maybe somebody is talking about Bro’s handsomeness.”

Nian touched his chin. “They should talk about my handsomeness.”

Yunru laughed. “Haha, I have recorded this! Let Xing Bi hear this and know how Bro Nian is vying for other women’s compliments.”

“…”

“Of course, I didn’t mean it like that! I only want to listen to my Xing Bi’s sweet words. You and Jun are the same!” He glared at them. “Cursing my love life.” He dragged Yunru and started beating him.

“You violent cousin!” He cried.

Jun shook his head. He glanced at Ai’s side once again, feeling happy to see her smiling.

It doesn’t seem like this will get over any sooner, he sighed, I want to hug her.

“Excuse me, Sir? Mr. Liu Jun, right?”

He turned back to see a lady wearing the staff uniform and politely smiling at him.

Jun raised his brow. “Yes?”

“Sir, there is a lady who wants to meet you,” she pointed at the other side of the corridor. “She asked me to-“

Jun grimaced. He had seen women hitting on him but calling him out like this was new.

“Not interested,” he coldly answered. “Leave.”

“Sir, but Miss. Han Shui told that you would-“

“What? Shui?” Jun widened his eyes.

“Yes. She said her name is Han Shui.”

Jun stood confused.

Shui is here? In Shanghai?

Then he thought about Jin and wondered if she came with him.

But I didn’t see her with Jin yesterday.

Jun checked his phone and saw that there were no messages or calls from Shui.

Why would she call me through a staff member? He frowned.

Jun narrowed his eyes. “First show me if she is really here.”

He walked with the staff lady and from a distance, she pointed out. “There.”

He stared at the place she pointed and was taken aback to see that Shui was really standing near the elevator. She had a small black purse hanging from the right arm, and it clearly seemed that she was waiting for somebody.

“Sir?”

“Leave.”

She nodded and left.

Jun remained standing at his place for several moments.

On the other side, Shui waited for Guiying for a long time, but she was yet to arrive.

She sighed.

I will just head to the fourth floor and wait for her there…

The elevator door opened, and she stepped into it. As the doors were about to close, a hand slipped in between and Jun walked in too.

Shui’s eyes widened as she saw him suddenly appearing in front of her. Her heart almost lept out of her chest.

“J-Jun?”

“Shui,” he spoke monotonously. He observed her eyes which looked tired and puffy for some reason.

The elevator doors closed with a ding, and it started moving upwards.

“Fourth floor has a good balcony with privacy. Let’s talk over there,” Jun commented without much emotion.

Shui came to her senses, but she immediately became nervous once again.

Jun wants to talk to me?

She wanted to have a conversation with Jun too, but it just so happened suddenly that she had difficulty arranging her thoughts.

“O-okay…”

They waited in complete silence as the elevator went up. But a few seconds later, the elevator shook hard and came to a sharp halt.

Jun grabbed her wrist and prevented her from tripping. “Are you okay?”

.ᴄOᴍ “Y-Yeah…”

That gave me a heart attack!

“What happened to the elevator?” She looked around in a daze.

Jun pressed the buttons, but the doors didn’t budge. He frowned. He picked up the receiver to call the emergency, but that wasn’t working either. He then banged on the door.

“Hey! Anybody out there?”

There was no response.

Jun pressed his brows, feeling frustrated. “Looks like the elevator got stuck between two floors.”

“What!?”
