Crescent Birthmark

As soon as Jun Zixuan left, Mu Shen turned to look at Jun Boyan, "Don't you find him a little weird today?" He asked.

"Eh…Weird? Third brother has always been like that. Moreover, who told you to provoke him by sending your women to him?" Jun Boyan glared at him.

Mu Shen pursed his lips, "I misunderstood the situation okay?" He thought his friend was grumpy because his sex drive acted up so he kindly offered his women.

"Aren't you the film emperor? Shouldn't you care about your reputation? Why are you hanging out with new women daily?" Jun Boyan curiously asked.

"Eh…Fourth Young Master, stop talking like a teenager. Who is hanging out with them? We just try fitting every day," Mu Shen shrugged.

"Eh?"

"I give them the 207th bone that their body desperately needs while we play Tetris all night long, with me trying to fit and blend it inside perfectly," As Mu Shen spoke, Jun Boyan was blinking in confusion.

The human body has 206 bones. Where did this another one come from? Tetris? Fit… All night long…

"_" All night long…

As realization sunk in, he glared at the man in disbelief as his face scrunched up, "You're gross," Not wanting to stay here for another second, he strode out of the suite elegantly.

Mu Shen laughed, "Go if you want. I'll not tell you what is going on with your brother."

"There is nothing wrong with him," Jun Boyan shouted before closing the door.

"Nothing wrong? Someone drenched him with orange juice yet he spared that person and instead sulked by himself How could nothing be wrong with him?" He muttered to himself.

…

In the penthouse:

"Mom.." Jun Zixuan greeted the woman as soon as he entered inside.

"Ah Xuan, you're here," As the lady spoke, her voice was soft and gentle. She kept the magazine on the coffee table as she looked up at her son.

Donned in a graceful qipao, Shen Lihua was sitting there with both her hands on her lap. Her hair was tied in a low bun and there was a small smile on her face. Despite being in her forties, she would pass off as a woman in her thirties.

"Did you wait for long?" Jun Zixuan sat on the single couch opposite his mother.

"No, I just arrived here. I was trying my luck, who could've thought that your pin is still the same as it was when you were a bachelor," Shen Lihua smiled at him, her expression was tranquil, "I know that you used to like someone in your university days. Mu Shen told me that all your pins and passwords are related to her. So, what is it? Her birthday or the day you fell in love with her."

Jun Zixuan stiffened, "Don't bring her up in all these," He coldly said.

"Oh?" Shen Lihua shook her head gently, "Let's talk about something else. When I called you earlier, I had mentioned that I'm at 'your place'. And you came rushing here."

The man pursed his lips, not liking where she was going with all this.

"As a married man, wherever your wife is should be your place," She softly muttered, "You have left her alone there in that villa and you're living here. Things have already come to this, her life is hanging by a thread, who knows when she will….Ah Xuan, will you get peace once she dies?"

"She is awake," He said.

"What?" Shen Lihua was stunned, the gentle smile on her face faded a little.

"I'm not joking. She recovered from her coma a week ago."

"But, how is it possible? Didn't the doctors say that…"

Jun Zixuan interrupted her, "Cockroaches never die, Mom."

"She is your wife," Shen Lihua narrowed her eyes, "I know this is unfair to you but that kid has already suffered a lot. After her mother's death….those people have been cruel to her. Sometimes, it takes companionship, understanding and a good friendship to make a relationship work. Ah Xuan, marriage that is solely based on love doesn't have to work necessarily. Look at me and your father and you wil understand."

"Mom… I…" He wanted to say something but in the end, his eyes softened, "I understand."

Shen Lihua smiled, "Come, let's eat. I have prepared your favorite food for you."

"You said you didn't wait for long."

"I didn't. It took you thirty minutes to come back and I prepared the dinner at that time. Do you have wine here?"

Jun Zixuan nodded as he walked towards the cellar to get the wine.

A glint flashed across the woman's eye as she looked at her son's back.

Back in the Ren palace, Yu Mei just came back after taking a shower. She stood in front of the mirror before looking at herself. She has lost only a few pounds after all that strenuous exercises and it irked her. But in these seven days, her face has changed a bit.

Because she maintained a proper diet and her balanced her calorie intake properly, there were no new pimples on her face. She made sure to drink a lot of water and her skin was clearer than before. There were acne marks and scars on her face but she believed it would go away with time.

As for her figure, she wanted to slim up a little because it was really troublesome for her to move around with such a humongous body.

There was something else that was bothering her. She loosened the belt of her bathrobe and found a small crimson dot right above her chest.

Lately, she had been feeling a prickling pain at that spot whenever she worked out. Though the pain was similar to that of an ant-bite but what bothered her was that mark.

On her body, there was a crimson crescent birthmark right above her chest.

But why was this mark appearing on her current body? Yu Mei was bewildered at that. Although, there was currently a small dot there but whenever she felt that prickling pain, she found that there were changes in her body.

Like the first time when she felt that sensation, her eyes changed. And now, her straight eyebrows changed.

Whenever she looked at her eyes and eyebrows in the mirror, she felt like she looking at her past self but this round body managed to break her illusion.
