Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 131 Only In A Towel (1)

"Ai!" He banged his palms on the door. "What is going on?"

"There is a cockroach!" Ai cried.

"..."

"You are afraid of a cockroach?" He asked, speechless.

*CRASH!*

His eyes widened, hearing a loud, crashing sound.

"Come out! What the fuck are you doing!? You will topple your room upside down like this!"

"It's between me and the door!" Ai's voice was shaky and panicky. "I cannot come out."

His expression turned ugly. "Fine. Then I will come inside!"

"You cannot come inside either," Her voice held a tinge of more anxiety now.

He coldly sneered. "Unlike a certain someone, I am not afraid of cockroaches." _{a cockroach. I am in my towel. So…"}

The sight of Ai's naked body flashed in his mind even before he could stop it from coming. It was instantaneous and automatic. The imagination of a naked Ai standing across him, merely separated by a door was enough to make his body grow feverish. He touched his throat, swallowing a gulp. Fantasizing about the time when he had pinned her soft body beneath him inside the swing made his palms itchy.

"Jun?"

At that time, Jun had cupped her breast with the fabric of her dress which put forth a barrier against his contact with her delicate skin.

It would feel even softer to caress them without any clothes, wouldn't it…?

"Jun…?" Her voice from inside the room was trembling with fear.

His fingers moved with a gesture in the air as if Ai was right in front of him, and he was cupping her breast to his heart's content. He breathed hard, heat flushing towards a certain member of his body.

"J-Jun! It's moving!" She gasped.

Her desperate cry finally snapped him out of his sexual fantasy.

"....."

Jun stared at his hand that was raised awkwardly in the air in a not so very innocent position.

At that point, Jun wanted to kill himself.

Towel…She is wearing a Goddamn towel! She is not naked, you idiot! You are not some horny teenager!

He took a few, deep breaths to calm himself. His body refused to listen to his breathing techniques though. It still trembled with a yearning to push Ai down and make a mess out of her. Desire was lurking within his dark brown irises.

He shut his eyes and spoke through a clenched jaw, "Wear some damn clothes, and then I will come inside-"

"My cupboard is on the same side as my door," she sniffled. "How will I dress up?"

Jun wished to bang his head on the wall and pass out.

Don't play with fire, you woman!

"Then don't blame me for coming inside!" He yelled.

"But I am in my towel!" _​

"Then deal with the cockroach yourself!"

"Don't leave me here all alone!" She exclaimed, terrified.

"JUST WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" Jun was at the end of his patience.

"Can you deal with the cockroach without coming inside?" Ai seriously asked.

His mouth heavily twitched.

"How about you take a looooong jump from wherever you are and escape from your room?" He sneered.

"That's physically impossible."

"Then what makes you think that I can kill the cockroach without coming inside!? Am I a ghost to pass through the door!?" The expression on his face was unbearable.

There was silence which was quickly broken by another soft scream from Ai. Then he heard her sharply gasp as if she had really seen a ghost. Her sobbing became louder.

Jun finally lost it and banged open the door.

"Okay, I am coming inside! Where is the fucking-"

Before he could complete cursing the cockroach, Ai jumped and leapt into his arms, shaking and burying her head in his chest.

Jun froze hard. His eyes remained unblinking and widened in shock for a long time. Ai's soft sniffles reached his ears, but his mind was too occupied feeling and smelling her freshly bathed body. He ever so slowly lowered his gaze, and it sharply obscured with desire as her porcelain white naked shoulders came into his view. Her moist hair was fluttering upon it with tiny drops of water perching upon her clavicle.

His gaze traveled down to the point where the towel barely reached her knee. From there on, part of her thighs and her legs were fully visible. The sweet scent of the rose soap wafted up his nostrils, and the heat which he just controlled while standing outside her room flared inside him once again.

"I-I think it can fly…" she choked miserably. She was always scared shit of cockroaches and now seeing a flying one was akin to a death sentence.

Her hands were tightly holding onto his shirt. Ai's eyes were tired from crying, but Jun's eyes were not so tired even after staring at her exposed shoulder for several long minutes.

Ai fearfully glanced towards where the cockroach was and seeing it wriggle brought tears to her eyes. She hid her face in his chest once again, grabbing him even tighter this time.

A sharp gasp mixed with a low groan escaped his throat.

This is…

"Q-Quickly! Or it will escape into the living room!" Ai begged.

Jun wanted to tear her apart from him, but a part of him also wanted this sensation to linger. He glowered at the cockroach.

It's all because of you! She is hugging me because of you! And now I am now having these weird feelings because of you! It was just fine before! But you had to fucking ruin everything!

As if the cockroach sensed his immense hostility, it scurried towards the other side of the room, took a flight with its wings and escaped through the window.

Jun exhaled a deep breath. "...It's gone."

Ai blinked in confusion. "B-But you didn't even move."

"It escaped through the window."

Ai looked back and saw that the cockroach had really escaped. She wiped her eyes and let out a deep sigh of relief.

"I should quickly close the window or else-"

Ai sharply stiffened as their position finally dawned upon her.
