Chapter 16 - If You Behave, We Can Be Friends (2/2)

But the man seemed to be very comfortable in this position. If not because of her figure and ugly face, she would have thought he had some intentions towards her.

Jun Zixuan blankly stared at her face. After what seemed like a long time, he raised his hand and stroked her hair. Looking straight into her starry eyes, he mumbled, ”I-I miss you…” His eyelids kept dropping but the man shook his head to stay awake.

Yu Mei froze. Somehow she knew that those words were not meant for her. He was looking for someone else in her.

There was desperation on his face and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes. She felt sad for him. The man was bound to a loveless marriage while his heart was seeking another woman. How tragic!

All her frustrations towards him slowly disappeared as she patted his head, ”You too are a pitiful thing like me,” I died on my birthday and I am suddenly reborn in another body. I am penniless, fat, ugly and I am unable to find ways to contact my brother. She sighed, ”As long as you behave, we can be friends.”

She did not mind having him back as her friend again. They can share their joys and sorrows like before.

But the man did not seem to register her words in his mind as his face approached closer and closer until their lips were inches apart.

The intensity of his gaze made her squirm. His gaze landed on her delectable lips and that sent danger alarms in her mind.

Has he gone crazy? Fuck, was he hallucinating his first love in her?

Man, look clearly. I am very ugly and fat right now. There is no way I could hold a candle to the woman in your heart. Stay away!

Her palm turned sweaty and her heart raced because of the close proximity. And just as his lips were about to touch hers, she knocked him out by striking his neck with her hand.

The man slumped on her body with his lips pressed on her neck.

She could feel her heart beating furiously inside her chest. Luckily…Luckily, she topped him in time. How awkward it was going to be for her if she was kissed by the man who has always been a nice friend to her? The thought of it made her shake her head.

Sighing to herself, she struggled to push the man off her body.

”You so lean yet why are you so heavy?” She panted before pushing the man with all her limbs in full force. As soon as she managed to put him on the other side of the king-size bed, she sat on the bed before taking a few deep breathes to calm her nerves.

Just as she was about to move to the couch to get a night of good sleep, she felt a prickling pain in her chest. It started as an uncomfortably itchy feeling.

She scratched the spot above her breast a few times but the more she touched it, the itchier it became. She scratched it until her skin became red and suddenly the itchy feeling disappeared….only to be replaced by pain.

She broke out in cold sweat as her trembling fingers gently stroked the spot to soothe the pain but it only became unbearable with each passing second. She bit her lips to bear the pain until it bled.

Not being able to withstand it anymore, she passed out on the bed.
