Since that incident with her father at that time, even if the Yu family wanted to stop…
Lisa had no intention to do so.
However, with her so busy at the military school and her lack of power, she didn’t pay attention to what happened to the Yu family.
She wanted to give the Yu family an unforgettable lesson and not just bask in a moment’s satisfaction.
Who would’ve thought that Tan Yalan would be so thick-faced to refuse to give up on her ulterior designs?
Just by the text message she sent, what emotions was she trying to invoke from Lisa?
Lisa sneered. She didn’t intend to back down from the text message she sent.
Counting her days, the Yu family should be anxious now. Since she wasn’t going back, who would be able to find a replacement for Eunha to marry to the Li family?
It wasn’t as if the Li family would accept any random person off the streets.
Things like watching a good show were something Lisa didn’t want to miss.
She tapped on the message and sent a reply.
{ What brilliant idea does Madam Yu have? }
Not long after the message was sent, a call came. Lisa didn’t even have time to drink a mouth of water!
Was she planning to climb over her head right after she showed a little compromise?
Lisa narrowed her eyes and answered the call.
“Lalisa, you finally answered my call!”
Tan Yalan’s voice sounded excited, so much that Lisa didn’t even have the time to reply. “Lalisa, why don’t you come back to the Yu family?
“No matter what you want, the Yu family will give it to you! As long as it is within our means!
“After you return to the Yu family, you will be the apple in our eyes. You can get a significant identity.
“Aren’t all these better than you studying at a military school?”
Tan Yalan’s information channels were fast.
Lisa had just arrived at her military school and she already knew about it.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the Yu family was in trouble, this information was something she could find with minimal effort.
Lisa coldly laughed. “Return to the Yu family? Do you really think that I don’t know that the Yu family instigated the incident with my father?”
Since Tan Yalan was being so shameless, Lisa would go straight to the point as well!
Alas, Lisa still underestimated the extent of Tan Yalan’s shamelessness.
Her voice sounded more panicked, but she quickly calmed down and regained her composure. “That was our mistake, but we had no choice since you didn’t want to come back. Furthermore, isn’t your father okay right now?”
Lisa was at a loss of words.
That Tan Yalan’s shamelessness was to this extent.
The Yu family was the one to frame others and now they actually had the audacity to push the blame to Lisa and state that Gu Hong was okay?
Gu Hong who was ‘fine’ stayed at the police station for a night. That tarnished reputation, could that be reclaimed?
Lisa laughed angrily. “Tan Yalan, frankly speaking, there’s no one in the world who is as shameless as you. You really allow me to get a good look. It’s lucky that I didn’t inherit that from you. I guess the reason why your daughter is so vicious is partly that I inherited one of your ‘great’ traits!”
After speaking, Lisa hung up the call directly and immediately saved that number into her blacklist.
Just through this call, Lisa felt that she had a newfound understanding of people’s shamelessness.
At that moment, Jungkook suddenly sent a message.
{ Who were you on a call with? }
It seemed like he called right before and it couldn’t get through so he sent a text message instead.
Seeing Jungkook’s message, Lisa could feel the anger in her dissipating as she prepared to go find him.
...
It was currently afternoon. After that call with Tan Yalan, Lisa had lost her mood to study and decided to look for the Chief Instructor.
The Chief Instructor was a man who could intoxicate her.
One could describe the Lisa in the past as someone who was pure and of few desires.
At the very start, she did not feel anything towards the Chief Instructor, but now that something bloomed between the two of them, she always had the urge to drop everything else.
Just so she could stay by his side.
That way of thinking was extremely dangerous.
If the Chief Instructor didn’t come to this school, Lisa would definitely place her focus on dealing with the Yu family.
But now, not only was the Chief Instructor around, her confession to him was a success as well.
Their relationship underwent a drastic change and her heart naturally changed as well.
Jungkook was officially working there and this was a school as well.
She couldn’t go at will as it might be bad if someone else saw them.
Which was why Lisa sent Jungkook a message asking if he was in his office.
As if he understood Lisa’s intentions, his reply was short and clean.
{ Come over. }
There was no need to see Jungkook’s current expression. From these two words alone, Lisa could imagine that elegant and indifferent expression of his.
And the way he would say those words.
She smiled a little and that darkness in her heart completely disappeared.
The darkness which the Yu family brought to her always seemed to go away when the Chief Instructor was around.
She walked towards the Chief Instructor’s office. The last time she was here, there were not many people. But now, Lisa felt that there were many people.
In universities, not all specializations would practice or study at the same time so there would always be one or two specializations that would be on a break.
Lisa saw many girls surrounding Jungkook’s office building.
They were chattering happily as they gazed up from time to time. Within their eyes were a shy sort of desire.
“…”
She immediately understood the situation.
The Chief Instructor’s charm was too great and it shone through in a school environment where the pressure was not as huge.
Students were a lot braver than the female soldiers in the army.
The hallway upstairs was all blocked by girls so she could only helplessly send Jungkook a message.
{ Chief Instructor, you have too many fans downstairs. I can’t go up. }
She didn’t in the slightest feel jealous over these people. Right from the start, she just wasn’t the type to get jealous, and she also had a grasp of Jungkook’s personality.
If he was the kind of man who was easily enraptured by others there wouldn’t be rumors saying that he was a devil incarnate. He wouldn’t be Jimin’s target for murder, too.
It was evident that the Chief Instructor did not care about these people.
{ Come up }
She looked at the message and shook her head helplessly.
She looked at the crowd and prepared to go up.
Lisa was a new student and the incident at the shooting department was only in front of her superiors as well.
Students have only briefly heard about the talented sharpshooter, but they’ve never seen her so they wouldn’t recognize Lisa that readily.
But when Lisa went upstairs, she caught the attention of many girls.
The Chief Instructor’s building had the offices of many other superiors, so the girls simply surrounded downstairs without going up.
When they saw Lisa going up, they didn’t think that she was looking for Jungkook.
After all, everyone was only watching on and waiting for him to come out. No one was thick-skinned enough to take the initiative to greet him.
When Lisa went up, she quickly squatted down and went along the wall before sneakily entering Jungkook’s office.
Because if she stood up, the girls downstairs would be able to see which direction Lisa went in.
When she finally arrived at his office door, she saw Jungkook stand up to pour water.
Catching sight of Lisa, he frowned in confusion. “You, what are you doing?”
After entering his office, Lisa finally stood up. “I’m afraid that the girls downstairs would see me.”
Her statement was casual, but a cold aura instantly formed around Jungkook. “So in your eyes, I’m still someone who cannot be shown to others?”
“How can that be! I’m the one who cannot be seen!”
Lisa gave in within seconds.
“I’m just worried that if those girls saw me enter your office, it would tarnish your reputation.”
After all, if other people wanted to meet Jungkook, Jimin would stop most of them.
If the fact that Lisa can easily stride into his office came to people’s attention, rumors would definitely spread.
However, the moment she finished speaking, Jungkook suddenly walked and stood in front of her.
After that, he lowered his head and his face neared Lisa’s.
It startled Lisa, and she instinctively shuffled backward.
But Jungkook’s hand, which was at the back of her head, stopped her movement.
Lisa’s face flushed red.
Was he going to kiss her?
The development was too fast. Even she couldn’t have predicted this!
Jungkook took in the entirety of her blushing face as a smear of intoxicating smile colored his lips.
His eyes shone like the stars, pitch dark like a black hole capable of swallowing a person’s soul whole.
Trapping her in it forever.
He opened his mouth and his searing breath caressed her face. “I’m willing.”
After speaking, he released his hands.
Lisa’s flush deepened. This person did not do things like normal people!
Whether it was his words or actions, she didn’t believe that Jungkook had never been in a relationship before.
And Jimin had already revealed that.
In that instance, Lisa was so giddy that she almost forgot her own surname.
She even felt a tinge of disappointment when Jungkook released her!
In Jungkook’s eyes, her blushing face made him joyful in an unknown way.
His lips seemed to be as eye-catching as the most beautiful gem.
Lisa couldn’t help but praise. “Chief Instructor, you’re really handsome.”
He didn’t reply, simply walking to the water dispenser to get Lisa a cup of water.
“The reason why you came to find me was because of the Yu family?”
His words caused Lisa to pause. “Chief Instructor, how did you know?”
Jungkook had only lightly swept his glance over her before he revealed a shocking piece of news.
“The reason why the Yu family wanted you to return was because of the arranged marriage with the Li family to save their business. However, the Li family’s son died in a car accident.”
Died from a car accident?
Lisa’s eyes widened in shock!
How could this be?
According to the progress of events…
The car accident was supposed to happen after the summer vacation.
Because in her previous lifetime, that was when she had returned to the Yu family.
Why did it happen two months earlier?
Could it be because of her choice to not return that many things were starting to turn in a direction which she couldn’t predict?
In her previous lifetime, the Yu family only contacted her during summer vacation. It was significantly earlier in this life.
Lisa became worried. Would a butterfly effect like this cause an unexpected change in the future?
This was her rebirth, but besides the extra chance to choose, she had no idea what beneficial things would happen to her during the few years when she was trapped in the Yu family.
“You seem to know quite a lot about the Yu family as well.”
Jungkook’s plain sentence caused alarms to ring in Lisa’s head.
She knew that she shouldn’t feel this way about Jungkook.
But a rebirth was too big a secret. She didn’t dare to tell anyone about it.
These things should be buried deep in her heart and not known to anyone else for her whole life.
If she were to reply ambiguously, Jungkook would be able to tell. Hence, she chose not to speak at all.
Jungkook’s question seemed casual. Lisa didn’t reply so he did not continue to probe as well.
He simply said, “The Yu family probably can’t do much to you now.”
As if he was just speaking of an old truth.
Lisa nodded and mumbled, “I know.”
But for the sickly son of the Li family to die so soon, she still had to take some time to digest that information.
The Li family’s son’s death was probably a blessing for the Yu family.
If that was so, why was the Yu family still looking for her?
Eunha was free. Moreover, why would the Li family after losing a son help the Yu family?
Tan Yalan’s phone call seemed to be lacking some information.
But because of Tan Yalan’s shamelessness, Lisa did not wish to talk to her again.
“The reason why you chose to enter the army initially was because of the Yu family?”
Jungkook suddenly sat down and gazed deeply at Lisa.
Words were stuck in Lisa’s throat.
She didn’t know how to explain to Jungkook.
She couldn’t lie to him either.
“Before the streams were decided, your plan was still to major in computer science. Yet a day before that, you changed your mind and joined the army…”
He didn’t complete his sentence but his words sounded like he had sensed something, and that caused Lisa to pale visibly.
“Chief Instructor, please don’t continue!”
Her only fear was for others to know about her rebirth.
But how else could she explain that she knew so much about the Yu family?
Her nervous expression caused Jungkook’s gaze to lock onto her.
His eyes were probing and there were many emotions that she couldn’t distinguish.
A moment later, he seemed to sigh lightly and walked over to her. He held Lisa’s hands and suddenly embraced her. “I will wait for the day when you’re willing to tell me.”
Lisa leaned into his embrace. His words caused her gaze to tremble a little.
The warmth in her palm was hot unlike usual. Jungkook’s body temperature was unlike his personality.
Leaning into his embrace, she could feel his hard chest and the thumping of his heart.
He had a natural and refreshing smell. There was such an instance when Lisa felt that she would be at peace as long as she stayed in his embrace.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
A sense of security so strong.
Unlike that of staying in the Yu family, in a jail where she had to live every day in trepidation.
Was heaven’s meaning behind her rebirth to meet this man rather than for the unjust she felt in her heart?
The office was silent—so silent she could clearly hear each other’s heartbeats.
The embrace that engulfed her was so heartwarming that it made one sentimentally attached.
But it seemed that people who spoiled the scenery existed everywhere.
Heavy footsteps were heard from the door. Lisa froze in shock as she struggled to get out of Jungkook’s embrace.
But he pressed her tightly to himself, glaring unhappily at the entrance.
Jimin stood there speechlessly feeling as if he was going blind in both eyes.
“I came at the wrong time?”
The moment those words left his mouth, Jimin felt like he wasted his saliva saying it.
Those already unfriendly eyes turned colder in an instant.
Lisa’s face was flushed red while still being trapped in Jungkook’s embrace. She didn’t dare to turn to look at Jimin’s expression either.
After all, it was slightly awkward to be caught red-handed in an embrace.
“Knock when you come in next time.”
It was a cold voice that chilled one down to the bones that rang. Jimin could feel the boiling rage in the tone.
Hell, the two of them were showing off their love. The office doors were wide open and he could already see them even before he arrived at the office.
And yet, he had the gall to ask him to knock?
Was this person retarded?!
Of course, he could only keep those thoughts to himself.
He smiled amicably as he agreed, “Yes, yes, yes, I understand. I’ll knock next time.”
It would be most befitting if Jimin was awarded a trophy for his act as a treacherous minister.
His flattery was like those of eunuchs in ancient times.
That was what Lisa thought when she heard Jimin’s tone.
But if she mentioned that, someone might get killed so she held her thoughts in.
“But Chief Instructor He, Ye Jaewook asked if you wanted to attend a gathering. Do you want to go?”
So it turned out that he was here to pass a message.
Jungkook’s arms loosened slightly.
Lisa could feel that she was no longer restricted, but she still didn’t dare to carelessly turn her head back.
She really didn’t want to face Jimin and get mocked.
“Ye Jaewook?”
Jungkook frowned slightly as Jimin chuckled. “Yes, that’s right. That time when we came to China…”
“Who is that?”
When Jungkook continued, Jimin had to swallow all his words.
He was a little speechless. “The fifth child of the Ye family. The one who was pampered to the very core. After he learned that we are at the capital, he invited you to…”
“Not going.”
Jungkook’s cold voice evidently meant that he wasn’t buying it.
That answer seemed to be within Jimin’s expectations. He didn’t try to persuade him and instead nodded. “Okay, I will tell him that you’re not going then.”
After speaking, Jimin cast a mischievous glance at Lisa. “Lisa, bye-bye.”
Lisa was speechless.
For Jimin to call her out when she was still stuffed in Jungkook’s embrace really caused her to lose all will to raise her head.
The heavy footsteps gradually faded. Realizing that Jimin had gone away, Lisa was about to raise her head when she heard Jungkook’s teasing voice. “He left.”
“Is… is that so?”
Lisa looked up. Because she was stuffed in his embrace, her face was slightly flushed.
And it was even more obvious on that porcelain white skin of hers.
The soft red flush which was as beautiful as peach blossoms presented a girl’s most youthful side.
Lisa could hear the rumble from Jungkook’s low pitched chuckle.
That sound was incredibly moving, much to Lisa’s chagrin.
“Chief Instructor, I…”
“Shy? You will get used to it eventually.”
His statement caused her to unwittingly recall the scene the time she was leaning in his embrace, and that alone caused her face to flush in a deep red.
Feeling that she would only get embarrassed to death if she stayed any longer, she quickly found an excuse to leave. “Chief Instructor, I still have to report at the shooting department, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“Okay.”
His voice was gentle and indulgent as he answered. “Go on.”
Hearing his permission, Lisa left immediately without daring to raise her head to even see his expression.
