Rebirth: Once Again With You

Li Caiyi woke up feeling sore all over.

She was so tired that she slept through the day and woke up the next morning.

When she opened her eyes, Dai Zhiqiang was nowhere to see, and there was a note saying that he had to go and she shouldn't push herself for today.

"It really happened, didn't it?"

Li Caiyi still couldn't believe it. She and Dai Zhiqiang finally crossed that line. The most embarrassing part was that she was actually the one who proposed it!

She blushed hard and covered herself with a blanket to calm herself down.

In her previous life, he was very calm and collected when they did it. It was almost a bit frustrating because he was so patient with her. It felt like she was the only one who enjoyed and went crazy because of him.

But the current Dai Zhiqiang was still young and naturally wasn't as composed. His hands would tremble occasionally, and he couldn't control his strength very well.

As a result, Li Caiyi had bruises due to his holding her too tight. It was slightly inconvenient, but it was proof that what happened a few hours ago wasn't a dream, so she didn't mind it.

They were finally connected both in heart and body. Li Caaiyi couldn't suppress her smile and the pure joy bubbling inside her. Her cheeks burned when she recalled their hot and passionate moments last night.

"Li Caiyi, you are really crazy. How could you seduce a kid like that?"

All the adrenaline rush she felt last night was gone, so the shame returned to her like a tidal wave once she was sobered up. She didn't even drink, but she acted like a drunken woman who preyed on the young, fresh meat.

She kicked her blanket away out of frustration and suddenly felt a stinging pain in her lower body.

"Ouch!" Li Caiyi winced.

Mentally, this wasn't her first time having intercourse, but physically that was her first experience. Sometimes she forgot about that fact and was caught by surprise.

In her previous life, her first time was taken by Meng Renshu, and she also felt sore like this when she woke up, but she still had to drag herself out of his room. It was a depressing thought.

She didn't have to force herself and take it easy this time. So she lay down for another hour before getting up slowly to shower.

***

Li Caiyi stretched her arm high to loosen her muscle. She glanced at the time on her laptop and found that she had been writing non-stop for the past 5 hours.

After taking a shower, she felt refreshed and energized, so she continued writing. Usually, she couldn't concentrate well because of the heat or because she was stressed out, so she was happy. This might be her most productive day out of all the days in summer break.

"My homework really has no progress, though," Li Caiyi groaned when she looked at the pile of school textbooks. Being a student was a pain, but having to re-do your study was a double pain in the ass.

Li Caiyi grumbled but still forced herself to pick the book. If she wanted to be in the same class as Dai Zhiqiang and Li Chunhua, she shouldn't be complacent.

Right at that time, the bell of her apartment was ringing. Li Caiyi was initially excited, thinking it was Dai Zhiqiang, but she halted when she was about to open the door.

But what if it wasn't him?

She recalled that box of 'surprise' she received, and a chill ran down her spine. The malicious threat was the cause of all her stress, and Dai Zhiqiang's visit yesterday eased her nerves a lot. But now that apprehension came back to her again.

Detective Tang repeatedly said she shouldn't go outside or open her door randomly. That stalker knew her address, and there was no telling what they could do next.

Li Caiyi could open the door, and that person would stab her with a knife, leaving her in a puddle of warm blood.

Goosebumps raised all over her body at the thought of that creep standing beyond her door, and she retreated a few steps for precaution.

Meanwhile, the bell kept ringing. It grew more impatient as time passed by.

'Zhi is not the type that keeps ringing the bell when no one is answering. He would either wait or call me.'

The person standing outside her room wasn't Dai Zhiqiang. She was sure of that.

Li Caiyi contemplated what she should do next. Should she call Detective Tang? He indeed said that she should call him if something was amiss.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Li Caiyi flinched in shock when the bell ringing suddenly changed into banging on the door. Her heart sank, and her legs grew weak in seconds.

The banging became more aggressive, and it sounded like whoever was outside wouldn't hesitate to break down her door anytime.

Left with no choice, Li Caiyi decided to call security first. Holding back the growing anxiety within her, she told the security to check on the person outside her room.

"Calm down, it's okay. The security will be here before they can do anything." Li Caiyi rubbed her chest and tried to calm herself down.

But contrary to her expectation, the banging on the door suddenly stopped, leaving an uncomfortable silence behind.

Li Caiyi was perturbed by this turn of events and hesitantly pressed her ears to the door to listen to the commotion outside.

Sure enough, it was dead silent. Did that person leave already?

The timing was almost too good to be a mere coincidence. How could that person suddenly leave her alone when she had just called security?

She made sure to lower her voice when making the call, so it was impossible they could hear it from the outside.

Unless they planted some bugs in her room, there was no way they could tell.

Li Caiyi was shocked by her own thoughts. Looking around anxiously, she felt like numerous eyes and ears had grown from the wall, watching her every movement closely. She was alone and knew nothing about her stalker, yet that person could monitor her every move.

Her mind just kept thinking of the worst possible scenario. She couldn't calm down and began to search around her room desperately.

The banging had stopped, but Li Caiyi was even more frightened than before. Whoever did this really went all out to make her suffer.
