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

Jingle Bell!

A sharp, urgent ringing bell, like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattered the tranquility of the entire campus, echoing in every corner.

Before long, countless figures eagerly poured out of the classroom.

Those figures, like nimble birds or rushing streams, were filled with urgency and longing.

The empty, deserted space on campus, which had just been deserted, was instantly filled with a sea of ​​people.

Shen Shuchou, swept along by the crowd, slowly walked out.

Beside him, his deskmate Xu Dong followed closely.

The two walked side by side, chatting casually with each other.

Most of the time, Xu Dong was the one talking animatedly and eloquently, while Shen Shuchou listened absentmindedly from the side.

At this moment, his mind was not on the back-and-forth exchange, but was deeply immersed in his worry about Hu Baibai's condition.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Xu Dong, slightly annoyed, lightly punched him.

The movements seemed casual, yet they revealed a unique intimacy and familiarity between them.

"It's nothing."

Shen Shuchou then snapped out of his daze and responded calmly.

A faint, almost imperceptible daze lingered in his eyes, as if his thoughts were still trapped in deep worry, unable to break free.

"Hey! Tell me, is there some kind of secret between you and your homeroom teacher, Ms. Su?"

Xu Dong, for some unknown reason, sneakily leaned close to Shen Shuchou's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou looked at him with a surprised expression, his eyes full of doubt and confusion, as if to say, "What strange things are you thinking about now?"

"Don't look at me like that. I was secretly observing you during class today, and I noticed that Class Teacher Su looked at you at least thirty times."

Xu Dong spoke earnestly, his expression serious yet somewhat mysterious.

"So you spent the whole class staring at other people's legs, huh?"

Shen Shuchou looked utterly helpless and speechless.

He clearly remembered that today Su Hanxue was still wearing that well-fitting professional pencil skirt on top and a pair of very attractive stockings on the bottom.

"Nonsense! I was just appreciating it, don't you understand?"

Xu Dong's face flushed slightly.

Shen Shuchou didn't bother with him at all, and he himself had noticed Su Hanxue's unusual attention to him today.

What could possibly pique Su Hanxue's curiosity so much was probably the three women she had seen at home last time.

"Don't go! Have you been secretly in contact with Teacher Su?"

Xu Dong hurriedly said.

"You're overthinking it. Go back and get some sleep." Shen Shuchou's footsteps never stopped as he swiftly passed outside the gate like the wind.

"Okay! Take care on your journey, see you tomorrow."

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Xu Dong had no choice but to wave goodbye helplessly.

"Junior Chu Siqi, I would like to invite you to a party today."

At the school gate, Jiang Jing gazed at Chu Siqi, who was dressed in a pure white dress, with a gentle expression and expectant and earnest eyes.

"Sorry! I'm busy."

Chu Siqi's face was as cold as frost, without the slightest change in expression, and the words came out without her noticing.

Seeing that she refused so readily, Jiang Jing quickly added, "There's a small gathering at the Jiang family today, and all my cousins ​​have female companions, so I'd like to ask Junior Sister Chu for a favor."

Chu Siqi frowned slightly, her gaze growing colder, and her tone becoming increasingly resolute: "I told you I'm busy, don't bother me again!"

After being rejected one after another, Jiang Jing's usually gentle expression changed slightly in an instant.

That expression, which was originally as warm as a spring breeze, now looked like a fine porcelain vase with a tiny crack.

Just as he was about to say something more to try and salvage the situation, he suddenly noticed that Chu Siqi's face was beaming with an incredibly happy smile, like spring flowers in full bloom.

Her smile was as bright as the most dazzling sunlight in summer, a stark contrast to her icy indifference when she faced him just moments before.

The next second, she ran straight past me without hesitation, creating a gentle breeze.

Jiang Jing subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction Chu Siqi had run. When his gaze caught Shen Shuchou's figure, his face turned completely gloomy.

"Shen, you big idiot!"

Chu Siqi, like a joyful little deer, hopped and skipped to Shen Shuchou's side.

The sound was crisp and melodious, like a clear mountain stream, filled with irrepressible joy.

"What's up?"

Shen Shuchou looked at Chu Siqi, who was blocking his way, and his brows furrowed slightly. His gaze was like a cold star, icy and distant.

Hearing Shen Shuchou's extremely cold words, Chu Siqi's originally joyful face instantly turned as if the sun had been obscured by dark clouds, revealing an extremely aggrieved expression.

Her pink lips pursed immediately as she said, "Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Just say it, what do you want?"

Shen Shuchou said in a calm tone.

"I'd like to invite you to dinner, just one meal, it really won't take up much of your time, please don't refuse me, okay?"

Chu Siqi lowered her head, her gaze falling on her fingers which she was fiddling with. Her voice was soft and delicate, filled with anticipation and caution, as if she was afraid that her request would be rejected again.

Shen Shuchou slowly looked up at the sky, then shifted his gaze to Chu Siqi, who looked pitiful in front of him. His heart stirred slightly, but he ultimately refused, saying, "Let's reschedule! I'm not free today."

Upon hearing this, Chu Siqi instantly became somewhat at a loss.

Her once bright eyes were now filled with confusion and helplessness, like a lost fawn in the dark, not knowing where to go or what to do.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, making the hem wrinkled, and her body trembled slightly, like a fallen leaf shivering in the autumn wind.

Since that incident, Chu Siqi has been deeply aware of the difficulties Shen Shuchou is facing. In recent days, she has been deliberately forcing herself not to get close to Shen Shuchou.

Even on her phone, she resisted the urge to send him a single message. She endured it silently, every minute and every second was torture for her.

But tonight, the overwhelming longing and yearning in her heart could no longer be contained.

She didn't expect any special response from Shen Shuchou, nor did she ask for romantic dates or heartfelt promises.

Even just having a simple meal with Shen Shuchou, or even just a short time together, would be enough for her.

Unexpectedly, such a simple and humble request was still ruthlessly rejected by Shen Shuchou.

Jiang Jing, on the other side, heard every word of their conversation.

For a moment, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. His gloomy face was like the sky before a storm, oppressive and terrifying.

A raging fire burned within him, like a volcano about to erupt, fiery and violent.

He invited Chu Siqi to the party, but she rejected him without hesitation, so decisively that she left no room for negotiation.

When Chu Siqi saw Shen Shuchou come out, she invited him without hesitation. The huge contrast in her attitude before and after was simply like heaven and earth.

This extreme change in attitude was like a sharp knife, piercing Jiang Jing's heart.

Just as Shen Shuchou was about to leave, he noticed a middle-aged man walking steadily toward them from a distance.

"Siki!"

With a loving call, Chu Siqi turned her head sharply and exclaimed in surprise, "Dad!"

The middle-aged man was naturally Chu Tianxiong. He moved swiftly to Chu Siqi's side, but his gaze had been fixed on Shen Shuchou from afar, his eyes deep and sharp.

"This must be Shen Shuchou."

Chu Tianxiong spoke first, his tone calm and gentle.

"Hello, Uncle Chu."

Shen Shuchou nodded slightly in agreement, his expression calm and polite.

"I often hear my daughter mention you. This is not a suitable place to talk. How about we go somewhere else? It won't take up much of your time, young friend Shen."

Chu Tianxiong smiled and spoke earnestly.

Seemingly afraid that Shen Shuchou would refuse again, Chu Tianxiong gave Chu Siqi a subtle wink.

Chu Siqi immediately understood and quickly took Shen Shuchou's hand. At this moment, her heart was pounding like a deer, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling.

"Don't worry, young friend Shen, a meal will pass in the blink of an eye," Chu Tianxiong said with a smile, his face full of kindness and enthusiasm.

At that moment, the iconic Rolls-Royce came to a steady stop in front of the three of them.

Chu Tianxiong showed no airs of a boss and even thoughtfully opened the car door for Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou looked helpless. Since things had come to this point, he couldn't refuse any longer and could only let Chu Siqi pull him into the car.

Soon, the deep, powerful roar of the car engine suddenly rang out, like a roaring beast, and the vehicle quickly drove away from the school gate.

This scene was captured by the curious, envious, or jealous gazes of the people at the school gate.

The famous little princess of the Chu family is a well-known figure, and her every smile and every move is closely watched.

However, Shen Shuchou was an extremely unfamiliar face to everyone.

He was like a mysterious figure who suddenly barged into this scene of great interest, filling everyone with curiosity and doubt.

Lin Zhiyi happened to see this scene, but soon she spotted Jiang Jing, who had a gloomy expression, making a phone call on the other side of the crowd.

The hand gripping the phone so tightly that the knuckles turned white, and because of the distance, Lin Zhiyi couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all, but an indescribable bad feeling quietly grew in her heart.
