Rebirth: Once Again With You

Li Caiyi had a hard time writing the script, but she felt like she would be able to wrap it up soon. When you were busy, the weekend came in a flash, and it was finally the night of Shao Junfei's birthday.

At first, Li Chunhua insisted that they go together, but since Li Caiyi had a meeting before the event, she told Li Chunhua to go ahead first. After finishing her work, Li Caiyi quickly returned and prepared herself for the party.

This time, she wore a vintage burgundy dress that exposed her shoulder. Once she arrived at the venue, many people were already gathered. The party felt classy and extravagant, with classical music playing in the background.

"Xiaoyi!"

Li Chunhua ran over to her. She looked charming and pure with her strapless white dress fluttering around her. The other guests stared at them curiously since the twins looked like two peas in a pod but had different kinds of beauty.

"You are late. The party started a while ago. But I'll forgive you since you are so pretty in this dress!"

"Really? Thanks," Li Caiyi was flattered by her compliment. "You are also looking terrific yourself."

She twirled once before striking a cute pose. "Of course I am. I can't look shabby in front of my best friend's family."

"You mean your soon-to-be-boyfriend's family," Li Caiyi smirked teasingly. Li Chunhua immediately looked left and right in fluster. She sighed in relief when no one seemed to hear that.

"Xiaoyi, there is nothing between Jingfei and me. Why do you keep saying things that make everything awkward?"

"Did you really think you could hide it from me? I probably know more about you than yourself. Just admit it and confess already. Shao Jingfei is pretty popular. He is fun, witty, and earnest when doing his job. On top of it, he seems to care about you a lot. You won't find someone as good as him easily."

Li Chunhua grumbled, but she didn't deny it. "I think he only cares for me as a friend."

"Jingfei is good at concealing his thoughts. But I know he cares more about you than he does with anyone. When you were unconscious for a month during our high school times, he was very concerned and would come almost every day to check on you. If it weren't for his job, he would probably come every day."

"Do you think so? Because whenever I try to test the water, it's like he deliberately avoids the topic." Li Chunhua rubbed her forearms unsurely. "I'm not confident when it comes to him. Sometimes, I feel like we have the same feelings, but the next moment, he pushes me away. I can't guess what's in his mind."

Li Caiyi was stunned to see Li Chunhua hesitate so much. The latter had always been a girl with a clear goal in her mind.

As long as she knew what she wanted, she would run forward recklessly, regardless of the method. That one-track-minded girl turned timid when confronting Shao Jingfei directly.

Li Caiyi realized that Li Chunhua's feelings for Shao Jingfei were probably deeper than she thought. As her sister, she somehow felt the obligation to help her. No, she wanted to help her!

"Xiaohua, why don't you try inviting him to dance? I think you haven't danced with him yet, right?"

"What? But…" Li Chunhua was about to refute, but Li Caiyi interjected.

"This isn't like you at all. You are usually very steadfast and stubborn; nobody can stop you once you have made up your mind. Don't you want to know what he feels towards you?"

Li Chunhua bit her lips. "....I do."

"Do you wish for him to have the same feeling as you?"

"Ugh, it's embarrassing when you asked me directly like that!" Li Chunhua complained with a reddened face. "Okay, I admit it, alright? I do like him as a man. Are you satisfied now?!"

Li Caiyi chuckled in amusement, seeing her flustered reaction. "Then you should charge straight ahead like a bull like you usually do. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. You just haven't found the right crack yet."

Li Chunhua took a deep breath before determination filled up her eyes. "Okay, I'll try asking him. I'm not a coward. I'll tie him up and force him to talk if I have to!"

"Ehm, you don't have to—"

"Thanks, Xiaoyi! Wish me luck!"

Li Chunhua didn't even bother to listen to her anymore and walked away somewhere. She assumed she would approach Shao Jingfei and probably used all sorts of means to make him talk.

Li Caiyi suddenly felt like she had done something she shouldn't have done.

Looking around, there was hardly anyone she knew among them. Li Caiyi was too tired to socialize after the meeting today. She thought she'd better congratulate Shao Junfei quickly and rest somewhere while eating.

It was easy to find Shao Junfei. As the star of the party, he would undoubtedly be in the middle of the crowd. Li Caiyi moved swiftly and greeted Shao Junfei before giving him a few well wishes.

"Thank you, Miss Li. Ah, I suppose I should call you Miss Caiyi since your twin is here today."

"Yes. Jingfei has been our friend since high school, so he kindly sent us an invitation for us. I hope my sister didn't inconvenience you in any way."

"No, no. Far from it. She is a warm and well-mannered person. I'm shocked since she looked so much alike to you."

"I heard that often. Speaking of which, I have to find my sister. I'll take my leave now."

"Please. I hope you enjoy the party."

Li Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief once she finally completed her main task. Now that she had fulfilled her goal tonight, she only needed to relax until the party was over.

She was about to check the food when the music in the room changed. The upbeat classical note suddenly turned into a more mellow one. The venue's light was dimmed down, too, creating a sultry and romantic atmosphere.

Li Caiyi wondered what happened when some people suddenly entered the main floor with their partners.

"Oh, it's already time to dance? I guess I arrived later than I expected."

Then she saw Shao Jingfei and Li Chunhua also enter the main floor. Li Chunhua looked like a confident peacock, while Shao Jingfei moved robotically and looked tense all over. The pair wrapped their arms around each other before gliding through the dance floor.

It was pretty dark, but Li Caiyi could tell that her sister was having the fun time of her life. She smiled as she noticed how those two bickered from time to time while dancing. She had fun just by watching them.

Suddenly, someone came over beside her and asked, "Don't you think it's boring to just stand still and watch? How about we dance too?"
