Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 8 Why Can't You Give A Perfect Ending?

Reading Point was an online chat forum where fanatic readers talked about their common interests and love for books. It was a place for them to explore and express their love for literature.

Jun was an avid reader. In his past life too, he was a member of this forum. Many things changed in his new life, but his love for books remained the same. That's why, even if he cut himself off from his family, he didn't do so from the world of books.

Over time, Jun had read numerous books. But the ones that always poked him irritatingly were MissImperfectlyFine's novels.

Jun hated tragic endings.

But even though he disliked her books, he kept coming back to read them again and again. It was the same in his past life. The endings pulled him apart, but something in her novels made him revisit them.

He stared at the welcome message.

MissImperfectlyFine has just joined Reading Point. Say hi!

Warlord had suddenly gone silent. He was just dissing the author, and the devil herself was here now.

The most problematic thing was that new users were able to read chat history which meant…

Jun saw Warlord suddenly go offline. He smiled in disdain.

Coward.

There was a long silence on the chat. Jun waited. He could imagine how terribly embarrassing it must feel for the author to see readers chatting about her and not in a really positive light. He didn't care. _{got a direct message from Warlord.}

[Fuck!!! How the hell is she here!? Is somebody playing a prank?]

Jun didn't bother to answer.

[Heyyy! Help me out! How will I ever show my face again if she is here?]

[MrPerfect - Then don't.]

[You heartless creature! Why is she even here?]

[Do you think authors just magically become authors directly? Can an author not be a reader? Why is this so shocking?]

He remembered that MissImperfectlyFine was in this forum group in his last life too. But at that time, he was more involved in his relationship rather than giving time to his hobby or the forum. He wasn't much online and therefore didn't come into contact with her. He had read her books in his previous life too. But because he hated the endings she gave, Jun didn't bother to talk to her much on the forum.

[Ugh…Damn!] Warlord cursed.

In the main public channel, there was still no response from MissImerfectlyFine. Jun went back to his work and opened his spreadsheet.

*Ding*

[MissImperfectlyFine - Hello.]

Jun raised his brow.

Is she ignoring the whole conversation?

He saw her typing.

[What is off with my story?]

Jun squinted his gaze. He could imagine Warlord's embarrassment. He was already offline. But he threw another message in his direct messages.

[Fuck, I can sense her anger! What am I supposed to do?]

Jun sneered and typed. [Aren't you already offline?]

[Shut up. Ugh. I think I will just let her be. I will give it a few days and act like nothing happened.]

*Ding*

[MissImperfectlyFine - @Warlord @MrPerfect What is off with my story?] _​

Jun's eyes went cold.

Why are you pinging me?

[Warlord in Jun's dm - She fucking pinged me! Can she just not pretend this never happened? Alright. This is what I am gonna do. I am on a vacation.]

[I don't care.]

[Yes. This is the way! I won't care about her. I didn't like her book anyway. You know of my favorite goddess CherryBlossom. I will be devoted to her books for the rest of my life!]

CherryBlossom was another author whose books Jun fairly liked. At least, they didn't have such endings that he didn't want to read.

[MissImperfectlyFine - @MrPerfect. What is wrong with my story?]

Warlord immediately hit a message in his dms.

[Hahaha. She only pinged you this time, buddy. All the best! Adieus!]

Jun ignored both pings and went back to his work. He took a sip of his coffee when he heard another ding.

[MissImperfectlyFine - I am sorry for bothering you.]

Jun stared at the screen. He minimized the chat window. But then he opened it again and typed. [MrPerfect - Your leads lack chemistry.]

He rested his chin on his palm. He didn't know why he replied to her. But for better or worse, the author had left an impression on him. It wasn't exactly a good one, so Jun wondered why he was even bothering with this.

Then he thought why not?

This was his second chance, so it was like catching up on things that he didn't choose to do in his past life.

The separation from the woman he loved still hurt like crazy. It wasn't something that would vanish so easily. So why not try to forget it by focusing on other things?

He saw MissImperfectlyFine typing.

[I am not sure I quite understand it…]

Jun narrowed his eyes. He gave it a thought and typed.

[Were your leads really in love with each other? I felt as if they couldn't even talk to each other comfortably. Candidly. They fell in love, but there was a sense of distance between them. Why? Then the male lead wasn't that strong enough.]

He hit enter and continued typing. [When his love was attacked by the goons, what did he do? Just threaten them using his rich heir's position? I didn't even feel the threat in his words.]

[MissImperfctlyFine - I see…]

Jun sneered again and typed. [If it had been me, the goons would have suffered much more than just empty words. They dare look at my woman. They wouldn't have seen the next day at all.]

She didn't reply for a while. Then it finally came.

[MissImperfectlyFine - Oh. I see. Thank you.]

Jun coldly hit the enter key. [I still hate your endings.]

[What is wrong with my endings?]

[Everything.]

[...]

[MrPerfect - Why can't you give your leads a perfect ending? A perfect love story with a happy ending?]

He finally asked the question he always wanted to ask if he ever met her.

MissImperfectlyFine was typing.

[How can any love story be perfect when the two lovers involved in it are imperfect themselves?]
