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

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.

The sweltering summer in Suzhou was like a stage play gradually coming to an end, replaced by the refreshing coolness of early autumn.

Night fell like a giant black ribbon, enveloping the earth.

In the inky darkness of the night, a cool evening breeze wafted through every corner of the Divine Martial Academy.

At this moment, people are coming and going in Shenwu Academy, with many figures walking from inside the school towards the outside.

In the bustling, shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, two figures stood out: Shen Shuchou and his deskmate Xu Dong.

They were in the crowd, talking to each other in hushed tones.

Most of the time, Xu Dong was complaining to Shen Shuchou about trivial matters, while Shen Shuchou would only nod occasionally in agreement.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Just then, a clear, sweet voice came from the crowd behind them.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure squeezed through the crowd and arrived breathlessly beside the two.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xu Dong understood immediately and offered his seat, even giving Shen Shuchou a meaningful smile.

The newcomer was Chu Siqi. She unceremoniously took the spot that Xu Dong had given up and walked side by side with Shen Shuchou.

The two, one tall and one short, looked striking together, instantly attracting envious glances from many.

Having spent so much time at this academy, everyone had heard about Chu Siqi's identity.

She comes from a prestigious family with an illustrious background, and her appearance is sweet and charming, like a dazzling pearl.

However, this remarkable young girl clung to Shen Shuchou, who seemed quite ordinary, like a little shadow.

During this period, many people wanted to get to know Chu Siqi, but without exception, they were all deterred by her icy attitude that kept people at arm's length.

In my memory, Chu Siqi always had a cold and aloof demeanor, as if she exuded a layer of ice, making it difficult for people to approach her.

But to everyone's surprise, this coldness melted away instantly in front of Shen Shuchou, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

This stark contrast made it difficult for those who had been turned away by Chu Siqi to accept, inevitably stirring up a mix of complex emotions within them.

However, Chu Siqi paid no attention to what others thought. All she cared about was Shen Shuchou's every move and thought.

She walked with light steps, her bright and beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Shuchou's face the whole time.

There were clearly words hidden in his eyes, but for some reason, he seemed unable to say them easily. He hesitated, his expression revealing a hint of entanglement.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Shuchou keenly noticed the unusual expression on the girl's face and couldn't help but ask her a question.

Upon hearing this, Chu Siqi paused slightly, as if she had made a great decision, and then reached out and gently tugged at Shen Shuchou's clothes.

Seemingly having finally mustered her courage, Chu Siqi raised her eyes, looking directly at Shen Shuchou, and asked softly with a hint of nervousness, "Have you read that document?"

Upon hearing this question, Shen Shuchou was slightly taken aback. He quickly searched his memory for relevant information and asked in confusion, "What document?"

"That's the file!"

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Siqi became anxious and blurted out.

Shen Shuchou racked his brains trying to figure out what those words meant, but for a moment, his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't remember what document it was.

"Didn't you...see it...?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Siqi pursed her lips slightly, her expression revealing a hint of disappointment and grievance.

Shen Shuchou seemed to be suddenly awakened, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to remember something.

A month ago, there seemed to be a file in the chat log with Chu Siqi.

However, due to the special circumstances at the time, before he could even check his phone, Jiang Qianqiu suddenly appeared and snatched it away without saying a word.

For a moment, Shen Shuchou didn't know how to explain all this to Chu Siqi.

Chu Siqi had already discerned something from his changing expression.

"Shen Shuchou, I'm starting to hate you."

Chu Siqi pouted her cute little face and pretended to be angry.

"real?"

Shen Shuchou answered instinctively, but the moment the words left his mouth, he sensed that something was amiss.

Upon hearing this, the air between the two seemed to freeze instantly, and the surrounding noise seemed to cease abruptly.

Under Shen Shuchou's gaze, Chu Siqi's small face froze slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a blush appeared in her clear, spring-like eyes, as if shrouded in a hazy mist.

Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, as if they would spill over at any moment.

Shen Shuchou swore that what he just said was purely a subconscious slip of the tongue and was not intentional.

But Chu Siqi didn't care about any of that. She seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and her steps were hurried, as if she had turned on sprint mode, and she quickly left Shen Shuchou's side in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, she passed through the school gate and her figure quickly disappeared from Shen Shuchou's sight.

Soon, Chu Siqi appeared beside the familiar Rolls-Royce.

She angrily opened the car door, plopped down in the back seat, her face tense, her pent-up frustration finding nowhere to go.

"Stupid Shen Shuchou."

"You big idiot, I hate you."

Whenever Chu Siqi recalled what had just happened, her heart felt like it was being gently pricked by countless tiny needles, and waves of sadness washed over her.

She had offered Shen Shuchou the private spring scenery between her twin breasts, but he hadn't even looked at it.

This sudden blow was like a bucket of icy water, mercilessly poured onto the girl's heart, which was filled with hazy love and expectation.

"Miss, the master of the family asks if we would like to invite Young Master Shen to our home for a gathering."

At this moment, the driver, who was focused on driving, did not notice Chu Siqi's unusual expression and asked her questions as instructed by the family head.

"No! Don't drive!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Siqi replied coldly.

The driver was slightly taken aback. He glanced at her through the rearview mirror and was surprised to find that his young lady's eyes were red.

He roughly guessed the reason in his mind, and wisely refrained from asking any further questions. He silently started the vehicle and slowly drove away from the area.

As Shen Shuchou stepped out of the school gate, he glanced up and saw a noblewoman standing in front of Xu Dong not far away.

The noblewoman had a serious expression and a tense face, and seemed to be muttering something to herself.

As the noblewoman spoke, Xu Dong's face gradually turned extremely ugly, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Not long after, the lady stopped talking, turned around, walked straight to a car, opened the door, and got in with a swift and decisive motion.

Xu Dong slowly turned around, just in time to meet Shen Shuchou's concerned gaze.

He looked somewhat embarrassed, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, and asked, "Where's Chu Siqi?"

Shen Shuchou didn't respond to the question about Chu Siqi, but instead asked Xu Dong, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

These days, he and Xu Dong, who are classmates, get along quite well.

Seeing Xu Dong's distraught appearance, Shen Shuchou couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just that I might have to leave Suzhou for a while."

Xu Dong said softly.

"Why?"

Shen Shuchou pressed for details, sensing Xu Dong's unusual behavior; he suspected the matter was not as simple as Xu Dong had described.

Xu Dong hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Because my brother is missing."

"Your brother?"

Shen Shuchou was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"That's the person you met last time, Xu Xianwen. He's disappeared."

Xu Dong explained.

"What does his disappearance have to do with you?"

Shen Shuchou frowned slightly, feeling quite puzzled.

In his view, his brother's disappearance did not seem to have any direct connection with Xu Dong.

"My family suspects that my brother's disappearance is related to me, so they want me to return to the family to await investigation."

Xu Dong said with a bitter expression.

"So I have to go back tonight, and I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Xu Dong didn't say anything more. As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to turn around and leave.

"If there's anything you can't solve, remember to message me. I might be able to help you."

Shen Shuchou called out as he watched Xu Dong's retreating figure.

"Thank you! I hope I can see you winning over Miss Chu when I come back next time."

Xu Dong forced a smile and replied.

He didn't really think Shen Shuchou could be of any help, after all, in his eyes, Shen Shuchou was just an ordinary person.

After saying goodbye to Shen Shuchou, Xu Dong went straight to the car driven by the wealthy woman, got in, and slowly drove away.

By this time, night had fallen, and the people who had left the school gate had gradually dispersed, and the streets were slowly returning to tranquility.

Shen Shuchou walked slowly in a certain direction, all by himself.

However, after walking only a few steps, he saw a figure quietly leaning against a street lamp ahead.

She was a young girl, her graceful figure accentuated by a pure white dress, quietly leaning against a lamppost.

The soft, warm light gently fell upon her delicate face.

This face is neither as sweet and lovely as Chu Siqi, which makes people happy, nor as charming and alluring as Hu Baibai.

The girl possessed a unique, ethereal beauty, like a tranquil oasis in the bustling world.

She was out of place with everything around her, yet she was a sight to behold in herself.

The dim yellow light cast a hazy outline on the ground. Shen Shuchou looked closely and realized that the graceful girl standing under the streetlight was actually Shao Miao.

After the last incident subsided and I learned that she was safe and sound, the matter gradually faded from my memory.

Later, he moved away from his old residence, and his route home changed, so the two never saw each other again.

A cool night breeze swept past the lamplight, causing Shao Miao's thin skirt to sway gently in the wind.

She hugged her arms tightly, her pale fingertips almost digging into her arms, and her shivering appearance in the cold wind made Shen Shuchou see through her intentions at a glance.

Beneath the girl's lowered eyelashes lay a timid expectation. This hidden emotion was different from Chu Siqi's fiery and bold feelings; it was merely a cautious glimpse hidden deep in her heart.

Shen Shuchou sighed helplessly. Given Shao Miao's personality, if he turned and left today, she would definitely be here again tomorrow.

He couldn't help but step forward, heading in the direction of Shao Miao.

It wasn't until Shen Shuchou's shadow overlapped with hers that Shao Miao looked up as if waking from a dream.

The moment their eyes met, she hurriedly took a half step back, but upon seeing who it was, her ears instantly flushed red and a sense of relief welled up in her eyes.

Shen Shuchou took in her appearance and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing, asking, "What are you doing here so late?"

"I..."

Shao Miao twisted the hem of her skirt, her voice as soft as a feather.

"I’m waiting for you."

The cold wind carried her answer into my ears, accompanied by a barely perceptible tremor.

"Why didn't you wear more clothes?"

Shen Shuchou looked at Shao Miao shivering from the cold, even though he had no romantic feelings for her.

Yet a pang of pity still welled up in her heart, and her voice unconsciously softened.

Hearing this, Shao Miao lowered her head and stared at the ground, the streetlights casting their shadows into distorted outlines.

She pursed her lips slightly and remained silent for several seconds, as if she were caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to answer, or as if she found it difficult to speak.

After a while, Shao Miao slowly raised her head again, looking timidly at Shen Shu Chou in front of her, her voice as soft as a whisper: "Because this is the most beautiful dress I have."

"When you saved me last time, I must have looked terrible, all disheveled. I...I want you to see...to see me looking good."
