After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

The next day.

early morning.

Jiangyun County was shrouded in a thick layer of morning mist, so dense it resembled milk, making one feel as if they were in a dreamlike fairyland.

The biting cold air, like a giant dragon coiling between heaven and earth, roared wildly.

That chill seemed to penetrate heaven and earth, freezing the world and making people shiver.

The moisture in the air made distant objects blurry, with only some nearby outlines still faintly discernible.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the tightly closed door of the shed.

Shen Shuchou slightly opened his eyes and frowned.

Being woken up on this cold morning, Shen Shuchou was undoubtedly displeased.

But Shen Shuchou was about to get up to check the situation when he found a pair of small hands tightly hugging his waist.

Turning his head, he saw that sometime last night, Pei Rou had been hugging him tightly, her chest almost touching his back.

The little girl still had traces of drool at the corner of her mouth, and her tightly closed brows twitched slightly due to Shen Shuchou's actions.

Shen Shuchou chuckled and gently pulled Pei Rou's hand away.

Little did he know that this action would completely wake Pei Rou from her sleep.

Pei Rou opened her sleepy eyes, not quite understanding what was happening in front of her, but she felt very hot and warm, and even the air felt warm.

This was completely different from the chill that usually enveloped her, a feeling Pei Rou hadn't experienced in a long time.

"You're awake!"

At that moment, a gentle voice suddenly rang in Pei Rou's ear.

"Hmm~"

Pei Rou subconsciously let out a soft, comfortable "hmm".

But then she seemed to realize something, and her vision gradually cleared. It was a smiling face, and when she looked down, she found that her hands were wrapped around the waist of the person in front of her.

"what!"

Pei Rou let out a soft "ah," quickly pulled her hand back, and instantly curled up, burying herself in the blankets.

Two blushes instantly appeared on her delicate cheeks.

"I'm...sorry...I didn't mean to..."

Pei Rou's soft voice rang out from under the covers.

Shen Shuchou maintained a smile throughout, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "It's nothing. I disturbed your sleep. You can continue sleeping."

After saying that, Shen Shuchou got out of bed and walked towards the door.

After Shen Shuchou got up, Pei Rou's little head quietly peeked out from under the covers.

Upon opening the door, a little girl dressed in purple came into view, who looked to be about seven or eight years old.

She stood there quietly, like a blooming violet, exuding a faint fragrance.

It was a delicate and charming face, with fair skin as smooth and lustrous as mutton fat jade.

Beneath her arched eyebrows, a pair of large eyes shimmered like a deep lake, sparkling with bright light.

When Shen Shuchou opened the door, her delicate lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

"Brother Shen, why are you only opening the door now?"

The little girl hummed softly.

"Wen Yanyu, what are you doing here?"

Shen Shuchou frowned slightly.

The little girl in front of him was the apple of the eye of the Wen family, one of the four great families in the inner city.

The first time Shen Shuchou met Wen Yanyu was when he had just arrived in Jiangyun County.

That time, Wen Yanyu, being mischievous, secretly ran away to the outer city and was trapped by refugees, on the verge of becoming meat in a pot.

Fortunately, Shen Shuchou came to her rescue, and that was their first meeting. After that, Wen Yanyu would occasionally come out to find him again.

The Wen family had previously tried to recruit him, but Shen Shuchou refused outright.

"It's our family's turn to distribute the food today!"

Wen Yanyu smiled sweetly.

Wen Yanyu is treated like a little princess at home; she won't get up until noon on any given day.

The reason I got up at the crack of dawn today was to see Shen Shuchou.

Wen Yanyu was also carrying a wooden box in her left hand, and Shen Shuchou could smell the fragrance emanating from inside even through the wooden board.

Shen Shuchou looked into the distance and could vaguely see a long line of people through the white mist.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Wen Yanyu's small body squeezed inside.

As soon as I entered the shed, I met Pei Rou's little head peeking out.

"Eh!"

Wen Yanyu was slightly taken aback.

Pei Rou was also stunned. Looking at the extremely beautiful little girl not far away, and then thinking about her own appearance, a sense of inferiority arose in her heart, and she subconsciously shrank back into the quilt.

Shen Shuchou then noticed Wen Yanyu enter the room and frowned, saying, "Wen Yanyu, this is not a place for you to come."

"Who is she?"

Wen Yanyu did not reply to Shen Shuchou's question, but instead asked Pei Rou, who had just gotten up.

Faced with Wen Yanyu's question, Pei Rou, hiding under the covers, also held her breath, wanting to hear what Shen Shuchou would say.

Although she didn't know who this little girl who suddenly appeared was, she could sense that her appearance must be related to her brother.

"She is my sister."

Shen Shuchou said softly.

"My sister?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yanyu murmured in surprise.

Hearing Shen Shuchou call her "sister" again while still in bed, Pei Rou's petite body stirred.

An indescribable feeling welled up inside me, like a ripple spreading across a calm lake.

Telling her in person is a different feeling than admitting she's his sister in front of a third party, but it warms Pei Rou's heart even more.

At this moment, Wen Yanyu walked straight to the bedside, looked at Pei Rou who was curled up in the quilt, and said sweetly, "Hello! My name is Wen Yanyu."

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou poked her head out again, first glancing at Wen Yanyu who was standing close by, and then looking at Shen Shuchou.

Upon seeing this, Shen Shuchou immediately gave him an encouraging look.

"Hello! My name is Pei Rou."

Pei Rou said in a soft, sweet voice, sounding very timid.

"Your name is very beautiful."

Wen Yanyu looked at her and said.

"Thank you, your name is also very nice."

Pei Rou responded politely.

Wen Yanyu glanced at Pei Rou briefly, then smiled and said, "You're welcome, because I'm also Brother Shen's sister."

These words instantly stirred a ripple in Pei Rou's heart, and her mood inexplicably became somewhat low.

A voice seemed to echo in my heart.

It turns out he has more than one sister.

I thought I was her only sister.

"Hey! Wen Yanyu, when did you become my sister?"

Shen Shuchou clearly noticed Pei Rou's expression and quickly frowned.

Upon hearing Shen Shuchou's words, Pei Rou's low spirits lifted slightly.

"I've already called you brother, so how can I not be your sister?"

Wen Yanyu, however, did not take it to heart and turned around with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou said helplessly, "What kind of logic is that?"

Wen Yanyu glanced at him and gave him a sweet smile: "That's Wen Yanyu's reasoning."

"Wen Yanyu, where have you run off to again?"

Just then, a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wen Yanyu's delicate face immediately tightened, and she quickly put down the lunchbox, saying, "Brother Shen, I'll go out first."

Immediately afterwards, Wen Yanyu hurriedly ran out, and the room was instantly left with only Shen Shuchou and Pei Rou peeking out from the bed.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Shen Shuchou sat on the bed, gently stroking Pei Rou's head with one hand.

"no."

Pei Rou lowered her head and said.

"She is not my sister. In this world, I can only have one sister, and that is you."

Shen Shuchou knew exactly what the little girl was thinking, and immediately smiled.

The voice just fell.

Pei Rou's delicate body trembled slightly as she instantly threw herself into Shen Shuchou's arms, burying her head in his chest.

Shen Shuchou's hands, like a gentle spring breeze, softly stroked her back, as if giving her endless comfort and care.

Pei Rou's face radiated a peaceful and contented expression.

She seemed to have forgotten all her troubles, completely immersed in this warm embrace.

Pei Rou's heartbeat gradually intertwined with Shen Shuchou's, forming a beautiful harmony.
