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

Meanwhile, Shen Shuchou also got off the bus with Pei Rou.

At night, the streetlights cast a dim yellow light, illuminating the road ahead.

Pei Rou and Shen Shuchou walked slowly, hand in hand.

Pei Rou obediently rested her head on Shen Shuchou's shoulder, their figures intertwined under the streetlights.

Their steps were light and harmonious, as if the whole world belonged only to the two of them.

The night breeze gently caressed Pei Rou's hair, revealing a radiant smile of happiness on her face.

Shen Shuchou quietly stayed by her side, his eyes revealing tenderness and care.

The dim yellow light from the streetlights shone on them, creating a soft halo around them.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everything became so peaceful and beautiful.

Their figures gradually faded into the distance, disappearing into the warm night as they walked home together.

As Shen Shuchou passed by Xiao Chen's BBQ, his gaze involuntarily drifted inside.

Sure enough, in the most conspicuous place, Shao Miao, a small, lonely and thin figure, sat alone at the table.

This contrasted sharply with the bustling activity on the side.

She seemed like a forgotten person, or a scrap of the world, making people feel pity for her at first glance.

Shen Shuchou sighed slightly. It had been ten days already, and Shao Miaozhen had been waiting for him here every night.

Shen Shuchou always felt that Shao Miao was a bit strange. He was afraid that if he spent too much time with her, she would turn out to be another Chu Siqi.

Never mind, let her be!

Shen Shuchou felt a slight unease in his heart.

Then he was about to look away, but Shao Miao seemed to sense it as well, and slightly raised her eyes.

In that instant!

Their eyes met instantly, and Shen Shuchou was slightly startled.

He gazed into Shao Miao's eyes and clearly caught a trace of undisguised joy in them—a feeling of finally getting what she had been waiting for.

Shao Miao's eyes sparkled like the brightest star in the night sky, shining brilliantly.

The next moment, he stood up from the table and ran towards Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou felt a chill run down his spine; Pei Rou was right beside him.

He then quickened his pace, trying to avoid Shao Miao's figure.

However, Shen Shuchou underestimated Shao Miao's determination. Before long, Shao Miao blocked Shen Shuchou's path, panting heavily.

Pei Rou looked at the delicate girl in front of her, and was slightly taken aback at first, then a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Shao Miao glanced at Shen Shu Chou, who looked utterly hopeless, and then at Pei Rou beside him.

Shao Miao was immediately stunned by Pei Rou's beautiful face, and then she caught a glimpse of her intimate gesture of holding Shen Shu Chou's arm.

Upon seeing this scene, Shao Miao couldn't help but recall the couple she had seen embracing under the streetlights that day, which bore a striking resemblance to the two people standing before her now.

At this moment, Shao Miao felt somewhat embarrassed; she simply wanted to ask Shen Shu Chou some questions.

From her perspective, she could only see Shen Shuchou, but not Pei Rou.

Moreover, given his current situation, it seems that he has disturbed Shen Shuchou.

"Um... Shen, how about I treat you to barbecue?"

To avoid embarrassment, Shao Miao lowered her head, fidgeted with her fingers, and murmured softly.

"It's too late, no need for a barbecue."

Shen Shuchou forced himself to remain calm.

"Oh, okay then."

Shao Miao lowered her head shyly.

Shen Shuchou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk around Shao Miao, but as soon as he took a step, he found that Pei Rou was still standing in the same place.

"Brother, I want to eat barbecue too."

As Shen Shuchou turned his head to look, Pei Rou also raised her small face and said.

The moment the word "brother" was uttered, a slight ripple stirred in Shao Miao's heart.

He secretly glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye.

She had initially thought the girl was Shen Shuchou's girlfriend, but now it seemed she was actually his sister.

Shen Shuchou immediately tensed up and stared at Pei Rou without saying a word.

Pei Rou's eyes showed no other expression; she seemed to genuinely just want to have a barbecue.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou couldn't bear to refuse Pei Rou, so he said, "Then brother will take you to eat."

No sooner had they finished speaking than Shao Miao interjected, "Student Shen, let me treat you. I know the owner of this place very well."

After Shao Miao finished speaking, she beckoned the two of them to walk towards Xiao Chen's barbecue.

Left with no other choice, Shen Shuchou had to walk inside.

Right now, I just hope this is really just a simple barbecue and nothing else goes wrong.

Pei Rou appears more obedient than Jiang Qianqiu and Hu Baibai, but her inner nature is the same as theirs.

The three of them then sat down at an empty table. When Boss Chen saw that Shao Miao had brought two people with her, he immediately dropped what he was doing and came over.

As Boss Chen approached, he realized that Shen Shuchou looked familiar; he seemed to be the person Shao Miao had been waiting for these past few days.

Looking at the girl holding his arm, Boss Chen immediately understood. He snorted and glared at Shen Shuchou with annoyance.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou is seen as a philandering scumbag, while Shao Miao is a girl hurt by love.

After leaving the menu, he went to greet the other people.

Shen Shuchou also noticed Boss Chen's gaze and awkwardly touched his nose.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

Shao Miao looked at the two of them and said.

"I'm fine with anything, you can do whatever you want."

Shen Shuchou replied softly, hoping that this meal could pass peacefully.

I'll eat whatever my brother eats.

Even sitting at the table, Pei Rou was still reluctant to let go.

Shao Miao didn't know what the two wanted to eat, so she just randomly ordered some of the signature skewers.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward.

None of the three spoke first. Shen Shuchou gazed at the starry night sky, while Pei Rou stared softly at him.

Shao Miao's gaze would occasionally dart back and forth between Shen Shuchou and the other person.

But his gaze was mostly fixed on Pei Rou, and he felt a little strange about his younger sister, Shen Shuchou.

In Shao Miao's opinion, the two of them didn't act like a younger sister at all, especially the way she looked at Shen Shu Chou.

Shao Miao had a deep feeling that they were more like a couple.

Moreover, this girl was the most beautiful woman Shao Miao had ever seen, her beauty was breathtaking.

Let alone a girl like her, who would be amazed at just one glance, let alone a man.

At this moment, many people at the nearby dining table were already glancing in their direction.

Soon, the fragrant grilled skewers were served, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Shen, you guys should try it, their barbecue is really good."

Shao Miao immediately called to the two of them, then picked up two skewers and handed them to them.

Pei Rou, standing to the side, also shifted her gaze from Shen Shuchou's face to the skewers, her eyes sparkling with bright stars, but she hesitated to take them.

"Eat!"

This scene could not escape Shen Shuchou's notice, and he immediately took the skewer from Shao Miao's hand and handed it to Pei Roudao.

After hearing Shen Shuchou's words, Pei Rou finally put the meat skewer in her hand to her mouth.

"Brother, you eat first."

Pei Rou moved the skewer away from her mouth and then offered it to Shen Shuchou's mouth.

Although Shen Shuchou really wanted to refuse, seeing the little girl's determined look that she wouldn't give up until she ate, he had no choice but to open his mouth.

Seeing Shen Shuchou eat the meat skewer in his hand, Pei Rou's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, as if she was even happier than when she ate it herself.

Seeing their actions, Shao Miao became even more convinced of her own thoughts.

As time went by, the barbecue quickly passed in this strange atmosphere.

In the end, Shen Shuchou paid the bill, and thankfully the meal went smoothly.

After bidding farewell to Shao Miao, he took Pei Rou's hand and left.

However, before leaving, Pei Rou turned her head slightly, her eyes looking at Shao Miao.

Upon seeing that one look, Shao Miao felt a sudden chill creep into her heart, as if a cold wind were brushing against her spine.

Her heart was racing, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The once clear scene suddenly became blurry, as if shrouded in a blood-red curtain.

The curtain was as red as blood, emitting an eerie light that sent chills down one's spine.

Shao Miao tried to blink away from this strange phenomenon, but the blood-red curtain followed her like a shadow, growing ever more intense.

Even her body trembled involuntarily, and she made dry swallowing sounds.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavy and oppressive, filled with an ominous atmosphere.

Under the veil of blood, Shao Miao felt an unnamed fear gradually engulfing her soul.

"Xiao Miao, are you alright?"

Just then, a shout pulled Shao Miao back from this strange state.

The view in front of them became clear once again, and as the blood curtain disappeared, so did the figures of Shen Shuchou and the other person.

"Uncle Chen, I'm fine."

Shao Miao felt a little weak all over and sat back down in her chair.

"I'm glad you're alright. I noticed you were staring at that boy in a daze."

Uncle Chen handed a glass of water to Shao Miao.

"Listen to Uncle Chen, that kid doesn't look like a good person at all, stay away from him as soon as possible."

Uncle Chen said with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Shao Miao gave a bitter smile. She knew that Uncle Chen had misunderstood her relationship with Shen Shuchou.

"He and I are just classmates."

Shao Miao said softly.

"I've already told you what to do; you need to determine the amount yourself."

Uncle Chen sighed inwardly, then turned around to greet the guests.

Shao Miao didn't reply. She was reminded of what she had just witnessed.

Is it a hallucination?

Or maybe I've just been too tired lately.

Shen Shuchou, holding Pei Rou's hand, also moved away from Xiao Chen's barbecue.

As they walked, Shen Shuchou noticed that Pei Rou had suddenly stopped moving, and he looked over curiously.

Just then, Pei Rou also turned her gaze to Shen Shuchou: "Brother."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Shuchou reached out and ruffled Pei Rou's hair, asking a question.

"Does your brother like that little girl?"

Pei Rou stared intently at Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou's hands froze. Everything was fine at the table, but Pei Rou still asked him what he was worried about.

"She's just my brother's classmate, and he doesn't like her."

Shen Shuchou replied slightly.

"Really? Brother, you can't lie to me."

Pei Rou tilted her head and said in a soft, sweet voice.

"How could your brother lie to you!"

Shen Shuchou replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou's eyes narrowed into slits with delight, clearly satisfied with Shen Shuchou's answer.

Just as Shen Shuchou was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Pei Rou whisper in his ear, "Brother, you're not allowed to like anyone else, or Pei Rou will be unhappy. Only I can like you, because Pei Rou wants to be your wife."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your brother."

Shen Shuchou was slightly startled, but he remained calm and said...

"Even if it's my older brother, as long as there's love, it doesn't matter."

"Besides, he's not even my biological brother. Doesn't he want to be blood-bound with Pei Rou?"

Pei Rou's figure appeared exceptionally graceful under the streetlights. She gently pursed her lips, her eyes filled with love, gazing at Shen Shuchou like a pool of tender spring water.

However, Shen Shuchou felt a slight chill creep over him.

Bathed in the pale moonlight, Pei Rou's face was fully revealed.

Her skin was as white as mutton fat jade, as delicate as silk, but her originally beautiful face now revealed an unusual sickness.

The silvery moonlight shone on her face, making her appear even paler, as if devoid of any color.
