Chapter 19: 18 Book signing event

Ai took a knife and a bell pepper. She carefully chopped it into pieces as Jun instructed.

He observed her. You are not bad. You just lack practice.

Ai was taken aback.

Was this the first time he had complimented her?

What?

Nothing. Indeed, I know some basics, but I usually dont cook for myself. So, I have lost touch.

He frowned. Then what do you eat?

Outside food mostly.

He glared at her. Idiot! Thats why you look like such a pushover. You aint eating what you should be.

Ai guiltily averted her gaze. Her life as a writer was filled with deadlines, so healthy food wasnt really top of the list.

She avoided him and continued chopping vegetables.

Thank you.

It was out of the blue, and she looked at him, surprised. Thank you for what?

Jun stared ahead in a daze. His voice was mellow and quiet.

For dropping the water on me and waking me up. If you hadnt then

I hate you, Jin! If only you hadnt bo-.

I would have thought of something outrageous about someone precious to me. I would have completed a sentence I would have regretted saying for the rest of my life.

He clenched his fists. Coming back to his senses, he thought how horrible he was to think about Jin not being born. He was his brother, his family. How could he think of him not being a part of his life?

If Ai hadnt splashed water on him that moment, Jun wouldnt have been able to forgive himself. Wishing for Jin not to be born

Wasnt it enough already that I killed him once?

Seeing his solemn countenance, she wondered if it was related to Jin or his nightmare of last night. Ai softly said, Welcome.

Jun pushed the plate with the steak on it towards her. He poured himself some juice and sat at the breakfast table.

Ai rapidly blinked her eyes. Why are you giving it to me?

Its your breakfast. Obviously, I will give it to you, he said without much emotion. Sit over there and eat, he pointed at a chair opposite him.

But she remained standing at the same place in confusion.

Jun coldly scowled at her. Do I need to give you a written invitation?

Ai cleared her throat and sat opposite him. Why did you make breakfast for me? I was going to leave anyway. You still need rest.

You talk too much. Just eat.

What about you?

Not hungry.

Then there was silence. The conversation came to a halt.

Juns phone buzzed with a chat message from Reading Point. At the same point, Ai saw a notification too. Her phone was on silent so it didnt ding or vibrate.

[Warlord Behoooooold! I got good news!!]

[XY13 Why so excited early in the morning?]

[LumiosZ He is always in a hyper mode. LOL.]

[Ringmaster Get lost. You woke me up.]

[Warlord Shut up! You will be excited too once you know the news I got!]

[LumiosZ Out with it already. Is it about your Goddess CherryBlossom?]

[Warlord Ding Ding! Correct answer. Hahaha! There is gonna be a book signing event! My Goddess has finally decided to reveal herself aaaaaand we will get signed copies of her books! Isnt it awesome!?]

Jun sipped on his juice.

Book signing event?

He remembered this same event from past life too. But he hadnt attended it at that time because he had planned a date with Shui the same day.

[Ringmaster Oooo. I heard from the rumors that she is beautiful.]

[XY13 Women are pieces of art.]

[Warlord Of course my Goddess is beautiful! @MrPerfect Oi! Where are you? ]

Juns brow twitched.

[MrPerfect Shut up.]

[Warlord Hah! Lurker! Why didnt you say anything? Arent you excited? You like her books too, dont you?]

You are reading story Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu at novel35.com

[MrPerfect She writes well.]

[Warlord I know right? So, so! Will you be there at the event? We bros can finally meet!]

Jun tilted his head.

The event

[MrPerfect Is only CherryBlossom gonna do the book signing?]

[Warlord What do you mean?

[MrPerfect @MissImperfectlyFine What about you?]

Ai choked on her steak, seeing the sudden direct ping at her. Jun looked up and frowned. What?

She coughed. I am sorry. I gulped the bite quickly.

The steak isnt going anywhere. Eat slowly or you will get sick this time.

Y-Yes.

Ai quickly typed back.

[MissImperfectlyFine @MrPerfect About?]

[MrPerfect Are you gonna be signing books too?]

She blinked her eyes.

Why would he ask about me? Doesnt he dislike my books?

Ai slightly lowered her head, thinking about the event. She silently clenched her phone.

[MissImperfectlyFine No]

Jun raised his brow.

Didnt she win the Best Newcomer Writer award for My time with you? How was she never chosen?

[MrPerfect I see.]

Jun tilted his head. He remembered that in his past life, there was some scene that had occurred during the event. He didnt delve into the details but as far as he remembered, MissImperfectlyFine was accused of ruining the event somehow.

Was it tearing apart CherryBlossoms books?

CherryBlossom and MissImperfectlyFine were authors belonging to the same publishing company Dream High Publishing. Apparently, she was accused of getting jealous that CherryBlossom got selected for the book signing event while she was left out.

Jun narrowed his eyes.

It doesnt match the image of her I have in my mind

Ai expectantly typed. [Do you want my signed books?]

Jun smiled in disdain.

[MrPerfect No.]

Ai looked up at Jun and asked him, I

He stared back at her from his phone.

When I was checking your bookshelf, I saw books from a particular author. MissImperfectlyFine.

So?

Nothing. I was just surprised to see her books since you dislike those types of endings.

Juns gaze darkened.

Dont remind me why I am not able to throw those books away. They shouldnt have any place in my bookshelf at all.

If you ever meet that author, would you want her to sign your books?

No.

But they are clearly a part of your collection.

Why would you keep them if they hate it?

No, his voice turned a notch icier.

Jun and MrPerfect are too similar, she pursed her lips as she concluded.

Ai lowered her head and put a piece of meat in her mouth.

To think that I practiced my signature yesterday. So embarrassing
