Rebirth: Once Again With You

Chapter 103 Premonition Of Danger



Meng Renshu opened his eyes wide in shock. His breath was uneven, and there was a constricting pain in his chest.

His eyes darted around wildly, and he soon found himself in a familiar room.

"This is… my room?" He muttered softly. It took him a few seconds to finally regain his wits together.

The wet sensation on his cheeks was all the explanation he needed. He must have been having the same dream again.

"Please stop this. No more," Meng Renshu said while holding back his sob.

Every time he woke up with the same unpleasant dream, he would need some time to stop the tears from coming down his eyes. As usual, he could not remember the details of his dream. However, the terror, grief, and despair he felt were still there, lingering in the back of his mind and weighing his spirit down.

Meng Renshu quietly cried himself out for a good ten minutes before that feeling faded. When his erratic heartbeat calmed down, he exhaled a deep breath. He had just woken up, but he felt exhausted already.

Meng Renshu sat up and found that he was lying on the couch in the same position when he fell asleep last night. He must have fallen asleep while he waited for his bathwater to be ready.

Looking at the bright sky outside the window, he stood up and was about to step into the bathroom when a stinging pain hit his head like a needle stabbing his brain.

"Ugh!" Meng Renshu crouched down while holding his head, feeling that the vision in front of him twisted and turned. The pain went for some time before it gradually subsided.

"What was that?" He muttered to no one. Although he always felt exhausted lately when he woke up, he had never got a terrible headache like that.

Meng Renshu did not want to experience that nightmare and feel horrible whenever he woke up again, but he did not know how to stop it. He heard that dreams sometimes allow you to see your future or past fragments. Considering how often he had the same dream consecutively, he suspected that perhaps this dream was akin to a warning to him, like a precognitive dream.

A warning to not let Li Caiyi get hurt.

He could not remember the details, but he knew that his dream always ended the same way, which was Li Caiyi's demise. If heaven showed this nightmare to him repeatedly, then there was a chance that danger would soon occur to that girl.

Meng Renshu absolutely could not let that happen. He should monitor her more closely.

"Xiaoyi, what do you think of this?"

Li Caiyi looked at her sister lazily while the latter showed off a silver bracelet on her wrist with a beaming smile. "Brother Renshu bought this for me yesterday. If you had stayed behind and shopped with us, you would get one too. Too bad Brother Renshu did not dare to buy anything since he was afraid you would not like it."

They were currently in class during lunchtime, specifically Li Caiyi's class. She did not know why, but Li Chunhua kept sticking to her side since morning and even bothered her during lunch break. Because of that, Li Caiyi was forced to eat alone with her. She did not want her sister to cause more trouble to her friends, especially when Chen Ruolan and Feng Nian had finally made up.

How could Li Chunhua act as if nothing happened at all? Li Caiyi still remembered how she threatened her yesterday, yet here she was, chattering and joking around with her.

"Oh yeah. I think I will eat lunch together with you from now on. I have grown tired of the cafeteria's meal, and I heard from Brother Jie you can actually cook." Li Chunhua pouted. "You made food for Brother Jie but never told me or invited me. How mean!"

"Are you being serious right now?"

"Of course, everything I said to you is serious!"

Li Caiyi squinted her eyes. "Did you already forget about what you told me yesterday?"

"Hm? Ah, about that? As long as you don't betray me, then I will be as obedient as a newborn chick!" Li Chunhua poked both of her cheeks with her fingers while smiling cutely.

However, this time Li Caiyi would not buy it. She had seen how crazy Li Chunhua's idea was, and she did not have any intention to entertain that.

"Xiaohua, I can't trust you. Not anymore." Li Caiyi pushed his lunch box to her. "If you want to eat my cooking so badly, then you can take this. Please return to your classroom now."

Li Chunhua gasped. "But why? Don't you want to spend lunchtime with me?"

"No, I don't. I don't have time to talk with a person who wants to harm my friends."

Li Chunhua's eyes widened when she heard that. Her expression turned gloomier before she lowered her head dejectedly. Li Caiyi thought she would talk back a bit more but surprisingly accepted it quickly.

She was so silent that Li Caiyi felt a little bad for being too harsh on her.

"Xiaohua…" Li Caiyi hesitantly reached out her hand towards her sister, wanting to pat her shoulder. However, she was surprised when Li Chunhua tumbled off of the chair onto the floor with a loud thumping noise, garnering the attention of everyone in the classroom.

"Ouch!" Li Chunhua exclaimed with a painful expression on her face. Li Caiyi was so surprised she could only look down with astonishment. Her hand was still hovering in mid-air.

Then, with a heartbroken expression on her face, Li Chunhua said to her, "No matter how much you hated it, how can you push me like that just because I said something wrong? Xiaoyi, don't you think you have gone overboard?" While she said that, her eyes glistened with tears, and her voice trembled.

From anyone's perspective, she looked like a victim who was just attacked by her sister.

When she finally realized what Li Chunhua was trying to do, Li Caiyi's bewilderment slowly replaced with disbelief. She quickly exclaimed, "That's a lie! I didn't push you!"

Li Caiyi looked around, and sure enough, a good amount of crowd had gathered around them, turning them into a center of attention. She suppressed the urge to recoil in her place from the attention she received and stood up straight. "Xiaohua, don't think you can fool everyone. I didn't even touch you when you were toppled over."

"So, are you saying I did this on purpose? Why would I do that?" Li Chunhua put on a wronged expression, and Li Caiyi''s eyes widened even wider when droplets of tears cascaded on her sister's white cheeks. Her long eyelashes trembled as she blinked her eyes slowly, causing that beautiful face to look even more pitiful yet charming. Anyone who saw that would think she was a fragile and gentle lady who wouldn't dare to even kill a fly.

Li Caiyi probably would have been tricked by her sister's Oscar-level acting if she did not know any better!

'Women's tears are scary,' she thought to herself.
