Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

After they filled their stomachs to their heart's content after which it was time to leave the restaurant. But when a new band was just about to enter the stage to perform live, Chyou eagerly said, "Let's watch their performance, shall we?"

Chyou being an actor and performer herself was thrilled and excited about it.

"Sure," Yating smiled.

They sat back for some more time and a different music started to beat in the atmosphere. The theme of the music was love and life. The performers used their instruments to their utmost perfection to resonate a lively and spirited song that struck the chords of their listeners.

It began to stir such passion and energy in the air that many other customers got up from their tables and tapped their feet to dance to their music.

Chyou's inner self was pouring out and her body was already half-swinging, trying to match their song.

"You don't have to hold back," he chuckled.

She looked back and brightened. "Then shall we join the dance floor too!" Find your favorite tales at m v l e mp yr

He coughed. "The music is really amazing but I don't think I would be able to dance to that-"

"Ssh, ssh!" She waved her hand in an obvious dismissal. "Dance comes to you naturally once you are on the dance floor. The music is so good!"

She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the center where everybody was dancing. Tapping her feet on the floor to match the music's rhythm, she went all out to sync her energy with the beats too.

At first, Yating simply admired her dancing but she dragged him to join her too. It wasn't a typical slow-music romantic song to invoke blushes and giggles. The vibrancy and the strong beats of the passionate music was made to leave their audience breathless. It left them sweating and huffing but invigorating at the same time.

At one point, Chyou spun a little too hard to feel a little dizzy.

"Ayeeee…the world is spinning. Wait, I didn't even drink."

Yating caught her by her waist and pulled her slightly away to prevent her from colliding into someone. Seeing how Chyou could see stars in front of her eyes, he chuckled.

"Don't twirl that hard."

"But the music…was so good ayeee…"

She finally broke through her dizzying daze and immediately understood the situation which was enough to make her enter into another round of dizzying daze.

She was right into Yating's arms all safely surrounded by his body like a shield. That was fifty percent part of her focus while the other fifty percent drooled at his exposed neck which was glistening with sweat. The sound of his short and rapid breaths made her slightly gulp down her throat.

The sweaty and breathless version of Gu Yating is way too handsome! Ahhhh!!

She covered her eyes as if blinded yet again. "Too sparkling for my eyes."

Yating's brow twitched.

You don't tell me…

His mind was on a similar track when the only thing he could observe was her hair sidelocks slightly sticking to her face due to sweat. It was a sweet and tantalizing moment. He was inches away to caress her cheek but he stopped himself in time.

And just like that amidst the lively Mariachi music, the duo was busy admiring each other's after-dance look and lost in imagining not-so-innocent thoughts.

Chyou looked around and saw a few couples openly kissing their partner. She wondered if it might be the lively music letting out their boldness and simply bask in romance right there.

"*Ahem!*" She cleared her throat.

So, so, is he th-thinking something like that too?

Ah, ah, that would be so amazing, right? But wait am I ready for it?

W-wait what is our equation in the first place?

I mean this is a date so…she blushed.

She then felt a flick on her forehead and she looked up in complaint. "Ow."

"I know what you are thinking and we will talk about it."

Chyou coughed. "What do you mean what I am thinking? I am just thinking that the band members are so talented."

Yating arched in brow in amusement. "So you are on date with me tonight but you are blushing thinking of the band members? Aish, is this betrayal I am feeling?"

"I am not blushing," she defended herself.

"Hoooo…"

He raised his hand just a bit and tapped her rosy cheeks with the tip of his finger. "Then I wonder what this shade on your cheeks mean?"

She could feel her brain short-circuiting with the touch ever so faintly tickling her. "Th-There is no red shade on my cheeks!"

"I never said that the shade is red."

"..."

"You tricked me!"

He smiled. "It's very cute of you to think that."

Her brow twitched and she quickly tried to evade the embarrassment. "W-we should head out! Bye!"

And she dashed away from the restaurant.

"..."

I thought we were supposed to head out together.

He went back to the table and saw her purse still lying on the chair. He shook his head and took it.

"I guess she gets forgetful with a little bit of teasing," he smilingly murmured.

—

Safe…Phew!

Chyou grinned as she got some time to regain her composure. But the sizzling sound of noodles diverted her attention and she followed the delicious fragrance. It was a noodles' outlet and she brightened seeing all the delicacies in front of her.

Yummy!

"One bowl please!" She chirped.

The cashier gave her the bill for payment. Chyou immediately felt something missing from her side.

"..."

I left my purse back at the restaurant! She sobbed.

Then a sling purse hung before her eyes and she beamed.

"I guess you are looking for this."

Her brow twitched.

She coughed and grabbed her purse without doing eye contact with Yating because she could very well feel his teasing and playful smile.

Yating asked, "Are you sure you would be able to eat a bowl of noodles after all that heavy dinner?"

"Haish! You don't know anything. There is always some space for noodles in the stomach no matter how full you feel," she shook her head as if trying to teach him a very obvious fact.

"Really?" Yating wondered.

"Yes," she bobbed her head. "That's what Grandpa Liu says."

"..."

"You are exactly right my dear hohoho!" A very familiar familiar voice boomed from behind Yating.

Ah...why do I get a bad feeling about this?
