Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 1141: Sister-in-law
"I want to see Jin in teacher mode."
Jin blinked. "Teacher mode?"
"I have seen your CEO mode of working but I’m curious to see how you will be as a teacher," Alix tilted her head. "Maybe you can share some tips with this future teacher here."
"Like teaching the kids here?"
"Proper classroom stuff."
"...I have no clue about teaching at all. I will only embarrass myself," he coughed.
"Which is why I want you to do it. I wanna know what not to do as a teacher."
"..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"So you already know I will be terrible."
"It’s entertainment plus learning."
Chyou laughed. "Go on, Jin. You have all the students you need~ Look, all the kids gang is here."
Which, according to him, was the worst time possible.
Jin loosened his collar near the neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me have some water and come back..."
He quickly sprang away before the twins could grab him back. He rushed to the kitchen where he found Ai, rocking Junxi after her sumptuous meal.
"Jin!" She beamed. "Come, come. Is the game over? Who won?"
He poured himself a glass of water. "Alix. That speed was out of the world. Is she even a human?" he muttered.
She chuckled. "So you lost? And what’s the deal?"
"...Act like a teacher for Alix’s supposed learning plus entertainment."
Her eyes sparkled. "Jin in teacher mode? I want to see it too!"
"That’s not gonna happen!" His face flushed embarrassed.
"Come ooooonnnn," she whined. "Jun teaches Ailun and he looks so handsome," she blushed, "especially when he wears his glasses. Alix deserves to see that handsome side of yours too~"
His brow twitched. "Handsome or stupid?"
She blinked innocently. "Is it wrong if it’s both?"
"Only you will find it amusing," he dryly said.
"Everybody else except you~"
He rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, I will go back and make some excuse to postpone my punishment."
"Do you think the twins will let it happen?"
He covered his face in his palms.
Ai proudly said, "Don’t worry. Since my cute brother-in-law is in a pinch, I will help you."
His ears perked up. "Really?"
"Well if you leave the others be, there will be no wedding night for you to celebrate. The games will never end. So I will help you out."
The gleam returned in his eyes. "You are the best, sister-in-law!"
Ai blinked at him once, then twice. Then her lips parted with a gasp upon the imminent realization. "W-what did you call me?"
Jin cleared his throat and looked away. "What do you mean?"
"You know it too! You called me sister-in-law! It’s the first time you have addressed me that way!"
The more she expressed her disbelief and joy, the more Jin felt embarrassed.
"That...well...Actually, I had wanted to say that for a long time now..."
Her eyes teared up and she sniffled. "Really? Do you love me now too?"
"Okay, there is no need for the tears."
"How can I not cry? You finally fell in love with my naturally lovable and warm side..."
"Yeah it’s time to leave."
"No, no," Ai held him back and said, "Say more, say more. You finally accepted me."
"...It wasn’t really about acceptance. I already had when Bro fell in love with you. It just," he coughed, "took some time to say it out because in a way, you did steal him from me."
"Aish, you love him so much," she pinched his cheek.
"But that’s not all," Jin gently placed his hand on top of hers that held Junxi. "I...I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t supported me that day..."
It was the day when Alix had revealed her true identity.
"I was so lost and even though I was sure I wanted Alix no matter what the reality was, I...couldn’t have done it had you not given me the push...Despite everything that happened, you selflessly accepted my love for her...I really don’t know how to thank you..."
Now that he traced his steps back to that time, he couldn’t stop his eyes from aching a bit. His heartfelt world brought mistiness in Ai’s eyes as well and she flicked his forehead.
"Is it something to be thanking me for, idiot?" She sniffled. "How could I have seen you so lost and defeated? I was simply happy to know that you gave love a second chance. After your decision to stay away from Shui, I didn’t know where your life would take you from now on. I was so worried because I didn’t want you to be lonely..."
She wiped the corner of her eyes. "Knowing that you fell for Alix made me feel delighted more than anything. What was there to not accept about her? She is perfect."
Jin stepped forward and wrapped her and Junxi in his arms with a warm hug. He lowered his head, letting his tears fall.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ai’s heart was overjoyed and she patted his back furiously. She grinned and pinched his cheeks. "Let’s take you to your wife, shall we?"
—
Alix scanned her gaze around their bedroom which was so beautifully decorated that left her dazzled.
"It’s all Mom, Grandma and sister-in-law’s work."
Alix threw him a glance and cocked a brow. "It seems that you finally promoted Ai too."
Jin coughed. "...She was already promoted."
"I’m happy for you two but your new blossoming relationship cannot blind me from the fact that you used her to escape your punishment."
"I didn’t escape my punishment, I just postponed it."
"Which is just a fancy way of saying that you will make me forget about it eventually," she sneered. "So maybe..."
Her eyes squinted. "We should forget about our wedding night too."
There was no way Jin was ever about to let that happen so he quickly blocked her way from leaving. "I swear I’m not lying! I just wanted to escape from the troublesome gang as soon as possible."
"My entertainment was the whole point."
"So what do you want?" He coughed.
She rubbed her chin thoughtfully and then hung her arms around his neck with a sly smile.
"Well then, you will be at my mercy tonight."
