Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 121: What Happened on the Day of the Breakup

Qiao Chuchu, wearing a bathrobe, leaned back against the chair.

Pei Mu cupped her face with one hand, smiling, but his eyes did not reach it.

Pei Ci circled around from behind and placed both hands on her shoulders.

Pei Ci's deep voice lingered in her ear, "We haven't had a proper chat for seven years. You haven’t forgotten the little secret that belongs to the three of us, right?"

Qiao Chuchu didn't respond, instead, she looked at the mirror.

Pei Mu's pale hand hooked her face, and Pei Ci leaned against her shoulder from behind.

She was trapped between the two.

Both of them looked alike, even the positions of their moles matched perfectly.

Moreover, these twins were quite tall, around 1.9 meters, but not as muscular as Pei Youchuan. They were just tall and slender, with a poised stature, exuding a calm confidence.

Their appearance resembled Pei Che to some extent, but compared to Pei Che's cold, aloof, and untouchable aura, they were arrogant in a way that disregarded rules, yet kept this arrogance tucked neatly into their crisp suits.

They were like divine replicas.

She stared at them intently.

Pei Mu and Pei Ci also looked at her through the mirror.

Pei Ci bent down and, without hesitation, pressed his face against hers, "What are you thinking?"

Pei Mu leaned over from the side and pressed against the other half of her face.

Qiao Chuchu dazedly replied, "I was thinking that you two are like a pair of replica, well-dressed beasts."

The two of them were momentarily stunned but didn’t get angry. Instead, they both smiled.

Pei Mu carefully studied her brows and eyes, sighing, "In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much, from a naïve little girl to a grown woman."

Pei Ci looked her up and down, "Your skin is so white, so clean, and looks so tender."

"Why are you commenting on this?" Qiao Chuchu crossed her legs, her tone sharp, "Are you two trying to bite me?"

The two mischievous brothers grinned and said in unison, "Yes, we do want to bite."

She irritably tilted her head back, leaning against the chair, exposing her pale neck, "You two are like flies when you're together, just get out, I’m annoyed."

Pei Ci and Pei Mu’s eyes dimmed, and they didn't move.

Pei Mu bit his lip in hesitation, his gaze unable to leave her neck, "Were you scared earlier?"

She closed her eyes, "What?"

"When that man was chasing you," Pei Mu extended his hand and lightly poked her neck, "Were you scared? Did you think of us? Did you hate us?"

Qiao Chuchu was taken aback, then laughed, "You haven't been killed, have you, Sixth Brother?"

Pei Mu frowned.

She glanced sideways at him, "I only had one minute to survive. All I could think about in my head was fear, my body was reacting on instinct to fight back."

【When the acid was thrown on my face, it wasn’t just fear, it was despair.】

【Because I knew I was disfigured.】

【Not only disfigured, but also blinded, my hands were chopped off, and my body felt like meat on a chopping block, dying in such an awful way, even thinking about it now makes me nauseous.】

But—

She looked at the two men in the mirror, "What would you do if you saw my body?"

【Would they die with me, like the system said? Or was the system just lying to me?】

Pei Mu and Pei Ci didn't look at the mirror, still staring at her neck.

Qiao Chuchu waited for a minute but got no answer, smiling bitterly as she tilted her mouth, "You two can leave now."

【I’m really stupid, I believe whatever the system says. My relationship with them is so bad, how could they die with me if I die?】

Pei Ci: "I would."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Pei Ci, distracted, poked her neck with his finger, then poked her cheek, unconsciously getting closer to her.

Qiao Chuchu turned her face toward him.

His lips almost brushed hers.

Pei Ci froze.

Qiao Chuchu's irritation was overshadowed by curiosity, her expression returning to the innocence she once had: "Why?"

Pei Ci raised his eyes, locking onto her gaze, "Because you believe in ghosts and gods in this world, so if you were truly killed, as a ghost, you would need someone to help you."

She absurdly laughed, "Ghosts and gods are an unknown."

"I know," Pei Ci said, "But your death is known."

Qiao Chuchu’s breath hitched, now even more confused: "But you and Sixth Brother clearly both hate me—"

"Hate you doesn't mean we don’t care about you," Pei Mu smiled beside her, "Besides, we might have been assimilated by you."

Qiao Chuchu looked at him in confusion.

Pei Mu grasped her hand meaningfully, "Like the thing you said at KTV that day."

Qiao Chuchu racked her brain, drawing a blank, "I can’t remember, could you remind me?"

Pei Mu smiled gently at her and changed the topic, "Time’s running out, let me do your makeup."

Pei Ci also started the blow dryer, standing behind her to dry her hair, looking like he didn't want to say much.

Qiao Chuchu looked at the two of them in the mirror and sighed.

【With such a deep rift, they must be hiding some small secret that they won’t tell me, I might as well not ask.】

Pei Mu and Pei Ci went on doing their own things, showing no reaction.

But both of them were lost in thought, back to the night of the New Year when they completely severed ties with Qiao Chuchu.

That night, she wore a beautiful short skirt and cried while holding onto Pei Yuan’s arm: "Big Brother, I don’t want you to marry, I don’t want you to fall in love with someone else. If one day you all get married, I’ll be left all alone. How can I accept that?"

Pei Yuan’s face turned blue, patiently explaining, "I’ve told you before, I won’t get married."

She begged pitifully, "Then could you be with me? I’ll do anything, I’ll be whatever you want. Please, Big Brother, please!"

Pei Yuan: "...You’re too young, Chuchu, you’re not mature yet. You don’t understand what like and love really are. You’re confusing your familial affection with what you think is love. When you grow up, you’ll regret it."

He gritted his teeth and endured, "We can’t destroy you just because you don’t understand."

Qiao Chuchu screamed in agony, "I won’t regret it, I really won’t regret it, I love you!"

Pei Che grabbed her to the side, "Qiao Chuchu, can’t you control yourself? Do you know what you’re saying?!"

Qiao Chuchu, her eyes full of tears, struggled to free herself from Pei Che’s grip, "I just don’t want to be your little sister anymore! That’s why I’m saying this! I’m about to turn eighteen! After I’m eighteen, we can be together. No one will say anything about us, who dares to say anything about the Pei family?!"

Pei Che couldn’t believe it: "Do you think we care what outsiders say? What do you want to turn this family into? You can choose one, but you want to choose all seven! You’re still so young, do you even know the consequences of this?!"

She argued fiercely, her face red, "I want all seven, not one less!!"

Pei Feng couldn’t stand it any longer, smashing a cup onto the ground!

"Qiao Chuchu, do you have to mess things up on New Year’s Day?!"

He yelled, "Fine, I’ll just go get married!"

Qiao Chuchu grabbed the cup and threw it at his head: "If you dare to get married, I’ll hang myself at your wedding!!"

Pei Feng was knocked on the head, blood trickling down his face, lips pressed tight without speaking.

Pei Youchuan, shocked, yelled at Qiao Chuchu: "Are you crazy?! You’re starting to mess things up again, aren’t you? You even dare to hit your brother?!"

Qiao Chuchu, facing all seven of them, stood firm: "I’m not messing around, I’m being rational, I’m talking to you!"

"Are you even men?!"

She cried with tears streaming down her face, her expression full of pain, yet her tone was aggressive: "I’m like this, don’t you feel anything? No feelings at all, not even a little desire?! Is there not a shred of want for me?!!"

Pei Bu Xian curled up on the sofa, holding a cushion, watching Qiao Chuchu.

His eyes were red, and he buried the lower half of his face in the cushion, saying nothing.

Pei Mu scanned the room, exhausted, "Qiao Chuchu, if you keep acting like this, we won’t spend another New Year together."

Qiao Chuchu looked at him.

He didn’t dare meet her eyes, just staring at the floor, a fatigue he couldn’t put into words: "I don’t want to argue with you every New Year, it’s too exhausting."

Pei Ci stood by his side, looking at Qiao Chuchu, not speaking.

Qiao Chuchu suddenly let out a cold laugh: "You think I enjoy spending New Year with a bunch of cowards like you?"
