Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 108: Did Qiao Chuchu Coax Lin Shen Well?

In the hospital room, Qiao Chuchu noticed Lin Shen’s bad mood and quickly tried to smooth things over: “But aside from me, everyone in my family likes grapes. Don’t worry, we won’t waste them, especially my second brother. He particularly loves sweet fruits.”

Lin Shen wasn’t reassured: “It’s not about whether it’s a waste or not.”

His long lashes drooped lazily, and he forced a bitter smile: “Three years ago, I was the person who understood you the most in this world. But now, I don’t even know what your favorite food is anymore.”

Chuchu froze for a moment, quickly responding: “This isn’t your fault, Senior—”

“It’s my fault.” Lin Shen lifted his head, his beautiful eyes bloodshot, his voice filled with regret. “I had a chance to move your heart. If I had just taken one more step, maybe we would’ve ended up together.”

Qiao Chuchu did like him!

They had secretly liked each other!

Lin Shen, unwilling to accept this, said: “If I had just held on for a bit longer, just a little longer, I—”

He suddenly couldn’t continue.

Because Qiao Chuchu was holding a box of green grapes, looking at him in surprise.

Her gaze was filled with shock and unfamiliarity, as if she was looking at someone she couldn’t understand.

Lin Shen met her gaze, and it felt as if cold water had been thrown over him, instantly calming him down.

He swallowed the bitterness, saying, “I’m sorry.”

He turned his head away, choking on his apology: “I’m really sorry.”

Sorry for making her sad.

Sorry for making her endure for a whole year.

Sorry for not giving her time to explain.

He knew Qiao Chuchu was lonely. Everyone around her disliked her, looked down on her, and she didn’t even have anyone to confide in. Yet, he still chose to leave without saying a word.

Guilt overwhelmed Lin Shen.

Shaking, he raised his hand, holding Qiao Chuchu’s wrist, his tone both pleading and humble: “I’ll buy you a good gift next time.”

Lin Shen lowered his head, trying to suppress the sob in his voice: “Please don’t despise me.”

Qiao Chuchu furrowed her brows, sadly pressing his hand down: “I’m sorry, Senior Lin Shen, I can’t reciprocate your feelings, because I really don’t like you.”

Lin Shen wasn’t surprised. He kept his head lowered, silently shedding tears.

Qiao Chuchu gave a small smile, testing the waters: “But I think, since we’re going to be friends, we should exchange our likes. I don’t like green grapes anymore. I like strawberries now. What about you?”

Lin Shen froze, lifting his head to look at her.

His handsome face was still marked by the sadness from crying, and a large tear slipped from his eye, wetting the perfectly ironed collar of his suit.

His thin lips were a bit swollen, and he gently pressed them together: “I... like cherries.”

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes lit up: “You’re still the same as three years ago!”

Lin Shen nodded honestly: “Mm, I’m a bit sentimental. Once I like something, I’ll always like it. It’s hard for me to change.”

She laughed mischievously: “Actually, you don’t need to buy me anything. Your paintings are worth a lot! Why don’t you draw me a picture instead? An oil painting, to be specific! Let me keep it as a collection?”

Lin Shen: “? Paint?”

Qiao Chuchu nodded eagerly: “How about you paint me holding a tablet? An oil painting, okay? I’d love to have it!”

Lin Shen froze, without thinking: “I have a lot of your paintings...”

He had been painting them for the past three years.

But he never thought of giving them to Qiao Chuchu.

Qiao Chuchu was thrilled, punching his shoulder: “Then why haven’t you given me one, big artist? Your paintings are worth millions! When I’m discharged, I’ll go to your studio and pick one, whichever one looks the best, I want it!~”

Lin Shen’s sad puppy eyes turned to little stars: “Okay!”

He involuntarily smiled: “As long as you don’t mind!”

Qiao Chuchu was full of anticipation: “How could I mind~ I’ve liked your paintings for so many years. I’ve seen you at so many of your exhibitions!”

[But I always went secretly, even though my relationship with the artist isn’t good, art is innocent, and Senior Lin Shen’s talent and skills will forever make me admire him!]

Lin Shen’s face turned red, embarrassed as he lowered his head. His mood had already shifted from dark to light.

Pei Bu Xian: “...”

Pei Che: “...”

Pei Yuan: “...”

Pei Mu: “...”

Pei Ci: “...”

Pei Feng Nong: “...”

Lou Ting Si: “? Did Qiao Chuchu manage to comfort Lin Shen?”

Lou Yue Jue nodded: “He’s so happy his smile is almost reaching his temples, and he can’t cry anymore.”

Pei Bu Xian, with a sinister tone, urged: “Pei Youchuan, what are you still standing there for? Aren’t you going to take off your shoes and release the gas?”

Pei Youchuan grumbled: “I told you I’m wearing deodorizing socks! How much longer do we have to play this joke?!”

Pei Yuan’s face darkened as he shoved his brothers aside: “What a waste of time!”

He pushed the door open!

Pei Bu Xian slipped and fell to the ground: “Ah!”

Lou Yue Jue lost his balance and crashed into Pei Bu Xian: “Ah!”

Lou Ting Si tried to grab his son but was pulled down instead!

The others fell like dominoes, piling up at the door like a human pyramid.

Only Pei Yuan and Pei Che were standing.

Everyone awkwardly looked towards Qiao Chuchu.

Lin Shen: “?”

Qiao Chuchu: “? What are you all doing?”

Pei Bu Xian twitched his lips, propping up his chin, and lazily lay on the floor: “It’s too hot, the floor is cooler.”

The others who were lying on the floor nodded seriously.

Qiao Chuchu stayed silent.

Qiao Chuchu looked out the window at the heavy snowfall.

“You call this hot?”

Amid the awkwardness, Wei Sheng Yu Can walked in wearing a qipao: “Yo, what’s going on here?”

She wore a shiny fur cloak, her curly hair lazily styled, and smiled mockingly at the group of handsome men lying on the floor: “A bunch of handsome guys lying down, waiting for Qiao Chuchu to choose?”

The men froze, hurriedly scrambling to their feet.

Qiao Chuchu was delighted: “Yu Can? What are you doing here?!”

Wei Sheng Yu Can smiled at her: “Good morning, Qiao Chuchu. I heard you were kidnapped, so I came to check on you and bring you some supplements, but looks like I overthought it.”

She teasingly looked at the crowded room: “With all these handsome guys here, what do you need bird’s nest for? One bite each will keep your beauty and health in check.”

Qiao Chuchu: “?”

[She’s probably flirting, but I have no proof.]

Wei Sheng Yu Can chuckled, stepping in high heels toward her bed, handing her an invitation card: “The day after tomorrow is my fourth brother’s birthday. I specifically came to invite you to be our guest of honor. No need to bring a gift, just your presence will do.”

She leisurely swept her gaze around the room: “You can bring these handsome guys too. They can serve tea and water for you, so my plastic sisters can open their eyes.”

Qiao Chuchu smiled awkwardly, taking the invitation card with both hands and looking at the photo of the man on it.

The man in the photo looked almost identical to Wei Sheng Yu Can.

Only colder, sharper.

Wearing a black Tang suit, holding prayer beads, with piercing eyes filled with a murderous aura that completely clashed with the peaceful beads.

Qiao Chuchu: “...”

[Just when I think I can take a break, a new character and event appear.]

Wei Sheng Bie He silently stood at the door, arms crossed, watching Qiao Chuchu.

The photo was carefully chosen by him.

To make sure that when Qiao Chuchu saw him for the first time, she would think he had a strong presence!

Yu Can glanced at her younger brother at the door and asked with a smile: “So, what do you think? Isn’t my fourth brother quite handsome? Does he catch your eye?”

Wei Sheng Bie He raised his chin, confidently awaiting praise.

Qiao Chuchu nodded, sincerely saying: “Of course he’s handsome, he’s your brother! His features look just like yours!”

[Too bad he’s a bit stupid, the only one in the Wei Sheng family without a brain, a pure love-struck fool. Yu Can didn’t even pass on her intelligence to him.]

Wei Sheng Bie He: “?”
