Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind

Pei Yuan's face darkened, and he left unhappily: "It seems the outcome is decided, I'm leaving."

Pei Che snorted and turned to leave.

Pei Fengnong lowered his head in disappointment and followed them out.

Pei Mu and Pei Ci glared at him: "One hour! We'll come back after one hour!"

Pei Buxian directly took out his phone and set a timer.

One hour countdown began.

He said fiercely: "I will be back!"

Pei Youchuan watched their retreating figures, feeling a bit pleased as he blinked, his heart starting to race.

What's going on?

It's not the first time he's been alone with her, why is he still nervous?

Pei Youchuan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Qiao Chuchu closed the lid of the gift box: "Come in."

He pushed the door open and raised his eyes to look at her by the window.

Qiao Chuchu didn't turn around, trying to remove the necklace but was a bit off because her hands were still trembling.

[My arm hurts so much... Ouch...]

He strode behind her, lifted her hair, and helped her remove the necklace.

She sighed: "Little Xie, has the masseur arrived? My arm hurts a lot."

Pei Youchuan was stunned, removed the necklace for her, and didn't answer.

Qiao Chuchu turned around almost bumping into his chest, surprised: "Pei Youchuan?"

She looked up at him: "Why are you here? And — and you got a buzz cut?!"

Pei Youchuan put the necklace back into the gift box and scratched his head a bit awkwardly: "The hair in the middle of my head just fell out for no reason, and the sides were too long, making me look like a balding middle-aged man. So I had someone shave it short, planning to grow it out again."

Qiao Chuchu: "? Hahaha!"

Pei Youchuan: "? What are you laughing at?"

She waved her hands while trying to suppress her laughter: "Nothing."

[Luckily, Pei Youchuan doesn't know that it was me who caused his hair to fall out. It happened when he fell, I tried to catch him but only grabbed his hair, and it couldn't bear the weight, so it just snapped off. Hahahaha!]

Pei Youchuan: "?"

Qiao Chuchu's face turned crimson.

[But... ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‍not telling him seems a bit too mean, at least I should let him know how he went bald.]

She looked up, still trying to suppress her laughter: "Actually, it was me who caused the hair in the middle of your head to fall out. I grabbed your hair, and it broke."

Qiao Chuchu's eyes crinkled, her mischievous emotions unconcealed: "Are you mad?"

Pei Youchuan raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile curling his lips: "You're quite honest."

Qiao Chuchu composed herself, serious all of a sudden: "Yes, at least I should let you know how your hair 'died.'"

Pei Youchuan: "..."

Qiao Chuchu took the opportunity to sneak a glance at him.

[Pei Youchuan actually looks really good with a buzz cut.]

[His head shape is round and full, he's already muscular with dark skin, and his features are deep, his temperament wild. His previous shaggy curls made him look like a playboy noble, but now with the buzz cut, he looks more like a fierce, uncontrollable mafia boss.]

Pei Youchuan tilted his head, the corner of his mouth slowly rising.

Uncontrollable?

He leaned down: "Want to touch my head?"

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Pei Youchuan raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes filled with amusement, inviting her: "Go ahead, touch it."

Qiao Chuchu: "No, it's prickly."

Pei Youchuan: "?"

Qiao Chuchu was curious: "Is it okay for you to come out of the hospital like this? The doctor said you had a mild concussion and lost a lot of blood."

"My head is a bit dizzy, but it's not a big deal," Pei Youchuan straightened up: "Nothing matters more than you."

He looked down at her, his gaze so deep it felt like he was enveloping her in a world that belonged only to him.

"You saved my life, so I wanted to come and thank you immediately."

Qiao Chuchu's eyes gleamed with mischief: "If you really want to thank me, why don't you answer a question for me?"

Pei Youchuan: "..."

He knew what she wanted to ask.

Qiao Chuchu got straight to the point: "Do you have any secrets with the others that you're keeping from me?"

Pei Youchuan frowned imperceptibly, his deep eyes flashing with a fleeting sense of guilt: "No."

She immediately lost interest, her tone also turning dull: "Oh, then go back to the hospital, take good care of yourself."

Pei Youchuan: "..."

He tried to find a topic: "I saw a video of you saving me on Pei Buxian's phone."

Qiao Chuchu pulled the blanket over herself, feeling embarrassed when she thought about it: "Yeah, I saw it on the police officer's phone too, it's so embarrassing."

[I was carrying a double-door refrigerator, at that time I only felt my hands were about to break, I tried my best to save Pei Youchuan, never thought someone was filming me for TikTok!]

[Now everyone on the internet knows that the girl with her face twisted in pain is called Qiao Chuchu!]

[Actually, my name in my ID is Qiao Chu, can I deny that the ugly girl is Qiao Chuchu instead of Qiao Chu?]

Pei Youchuan walked to the edge of her bed: "No, you didn't look ugly in the video."

Qiao Chuchu came back to her senses: "?"

He sat down next to her, looking deep into her eyes, honestly saying: "You're always beautiful, no matter what."

Qiao Chuchu was startled, without hesitation pressed her hand against her chest: "Of course, I know I'm always dazzling!"

[Except for that cringe-worthy video!]

[Except for that video that everyone in the whole internet has seen!]

Pei Youchuan lowered his eyes and smiled, noticing her trembling hands: "You saved me, and I was so heavy, your hands must be very sore, right?"

He took out a tube of muscle strain medicated oil from his pocket: "Let me massage you, this oil works wonders, it can relieve pain right away when I had muscle strain before."

Qiao Chuchu immediately refused: "No, Little Xie already called a masseur, I can't let a man rub my arms like that."

Pei Youchuan was stunned, feeling a bit hurt: "Not even me?"

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

"Why not?" He frowned, a bit urgently: "Is it because I rejected you before?"

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

[Why is he like Pei Buxian, mentioning the past? What's the deal with the past?]

She was speechless: "Of course because we're family, massage is something really intimate, unless you're my sister or my mom!"

Pei Youchuan didn't hesitate: "You can think of me as your sister then."

Qiao Chuchu: "? With what, your muscular chest?"

Pei Youchuan frowned tightly, feeling defeated as he dropped his hands: "I even left the hospital before finishing my dose of medicine to come see you."

Qiao Chuchu coldly glanced at him: "Blackmailing me with your morality won't work, I have no morality."

Pei Youchuan ignored her, flipping the half-used bottle of medicine in his hands, murmuring: "I just wanted to thank you for saving my life, I didn't expect you to reject me just because of my gender."

He looked up at her, like a guilty dog: "Are you mad at me, Chuchu?"

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

Pei Youchuan was ashamed: "Is it because I caused you trouble, is it because I treated you badly before, that in your heart there's already a gap between us, so you naturally reject me?"

He nervously gripped the bedding, anxiously waiting for an answer: "Are you blaming me for neglecting you for seven years?"
