Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 291

Qiao Chuchu pushed Pei Fengnong away, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Pei Che.

Pei Che frowned deeply, his gaze filled with concern as he watched her.

She walked up to him and raised her hand, gently touching his forehead. "Does it hurt here?"

Pei Che froze, confused. "No, it doesn’t."

Qiao Chuchu sniffled, guilt weighing heavily in her eyes as she stared at him.

[I’m sorry. To get away from Pei Che, I hit him with a rock to knock him out so he couldn’t stop me.]

Pei Che’s expression gradually shifted to shock.

Qiao Chuchu lowered her head in remorse, remembering Pei Che lying alone on the ground.

[Pei Fengnong’s funeral had left everyone exhausted. Pei Che had taken time out of his shift to stay with me.]

[Strangely, it was as if he knew what I was planning. He held onto me tightly, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t shake him off. So I secretly grabbed a rock and knocked him out.]

[He ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‍trusted me so much. Even in that last moment, he didn’t blame me for hurting him. Instead, he begged me—begged me not to do anything reckless.]

[And yet… I still left him there alone, took his tie, and used it to bring myself back.]

Pei Che’s pupils constricted violently!

The others around them tensed as if an alarm had gone off!

His tie?!

Did Qiao Chuchu use Pei Che’s tie to revive herself?!

Then that would mean—

Pei Che’s heart skipped several beats as the realization hit him. He lunged forward and pulled her into a tight embrace!

Qiao Chuchu staggered back, caught off guard!

Pei Fengnong wrapped his arms around her from behind!

She was sandwiched between them like the filling of a cookie!

Pei Fengnong buried his face in the crook of her neck, his voice thick with regret. "I’m not worth it, Chuchu. I’m really not worth you risking yourself to save me like that!"

She had even come back from death to save him!

Pei Che, standing in front of her, opened his mouth as if to speak, but the words lodged in his throat.

He couldn’t say them.

Instead, he restrained himself and asked softly, "You must have been terrified just now, weren’t you?"

What he really wanted to ask was: Were you in pain when you tried to bring yourself back?

Trapped between their feverish bodies, Qiao Chuchu felt the heat radiating from them.

Tears welled in her eyes, but she smiled. "I wasn’t scared."

Pei Che and Pei Fengnong exchanged surprised glances. "You weren’t?"

"No." A sense of relief spread through her chest, mingling with the grief of the past four days, finally spilling over.

She wanted to sob, but she held the tears back, keeping them trapped behind her lashes. "I actually feel… happy."

The two men froze, their eyes reddening in unison.

Qiao Chuchu closed her eyes, biting her lip hard to suppress her sorrow.

[No one will ever understand how happy I am to see the people I watched die standing alive before me again.]

[I’ve forgotten most things, but the one memory that remains is my mother’s grave—those so-called relatives threatening to kill me while I stood there helpless. And then, Pei’s Mother and my brothers appeared to protect me.]

[When Pei’s Mother confronted those vile relatives, my brothers stood by my side and held my hands.]

[Pei’s Mother and my brothers were the first warmth I felt when I came into this world.]

[Even though most of my memories are gone now, one thing is clear in my heart.]

[Pei’s Mother, who loved and cherished me, passed away over a decade ago.]

[In this world… all I have left are my brothers.]

The Pei family’s hearts trembled, as if something had stirred the depths of their souls.

The feeling spread through their limbs, an overwhelming tide of emotion surging from their chests.

Their hearts ached. They stepped closer, wiping her tears and murmuring soothing words. "Don’t cry. It’s okay, don’t cry anymore."

Their own chests tightened with pain.

They couldn’t even imagine the suffering hidden behind her simple words!

But their comfort only made Qiao Chuchu cry harder. "Your hands are so hot! You need to get an IV right now! If you don’t, you’ll go from alive to dead in no time!"

The Pei family blinked, then burst into laughter at her bluntness. "You—!"

Even the Weisheng family, who had been watching with heavy hearts, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Shen Zhuoyan stood silently to the side, wiping away his tears when no one was looking.

Lin Shen clenched his jaw, fighting back tears as he watched her.

Ying Chen, however, was already bawling. "Uwaaah! No one told me getting hurt would make me cry so much! This is too touching, wuuuuh!"

Qiao Chuchu pushed them away. "Go get your IVs! If any of you die from this fever, I’ll beat you up!"

Weisheng Wenzhan glanced at Old Lady Qiao, who was being restrained by the police. "Her matter isn’t settled yet."

Qiao Chuchu wiped her tears, her gaze turning icy. "I’ll handle her myself."

Shen Zhuoyan and Lin Shen stepped forward. "We’re not sick. We’ll stay with you."

Pei Che was the first to regain his composure. "Right. If this fever keeps up, it could lead to lung infections or even myocarditis. We need to go. The sooner we recover, the sooner we can help Chuchu."

Otherwise, knowing Qiao Chuchu, if any of them died, she’d just restart everything again.

He looked at her with longing. "Chuchu, wait for me. I’ll come back as soon as my fever breaks."

Qiao Chuchu nodded, then turned to Pei Fengnong.

Pei Fengnong gazed at her reluctantly as the others pulled him away.

Suddenly, he remembered something and rushed back to her. "The necklace you gave me when we were kids—I’m wearing it again!"

Like a child showing off a treasure, he pulled out the gold chain. "I’ll never take it off!"

Qiao Chuchu stared at the necklace blankly, no memory of it surfacing.

Pei Fengnong’s heart sank at her reaction.

His voice cracked with remorse. "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ignored you all those years. I shouldn’t have resented you or put this necklace away. I shouldn’t have let you suffer. It’s all my fault."

Qiao Chuchu shifted awkwardly. "I’m sorry, but… I don’t remember any of that. I don’t know what you’re talking about."

She knew her ability to revive came from instinct.

Her instincts remained, but her memories had faded.

Pei Fengnong’s face fell, his pain deepening. "I see…"

She smiled gently. "When I remember, you can apologize to me then."

Pei Fengnong swallowed the lump in his throat, nodding repeatedly. "Okay. Okay, okay!"

He squeezed her hand, reluctant to let go. "I’ll come find you as soon as I’m done with the IV."

He still needed to pick a gift—the best gift he could find—to make it up to her.

Pei Fengnong was dragged away like a child refusing to go to kindergarten, turning back every few steps to look at her.

And it wasn’t just him.

Even the Weisheng family kept glancing back, their eyes filled with heartache.

Huai Ling frowned. Sister, wait for us! We’ll be back soon!

Ying Chen, being wheeled away on a hospital bed by Weisheng Biehe, yelled, "Come see me in my room when you’re done! There’s no way I can move right now!"

Qiao Chuchu waved at them, nodding to each one in turn.

Once they had vanished from her sight, her expression darkened as she turned her gaze toward Old Lady Qiao, now restrained by the police. A murderous intent flared in her eyes as she uttered coldly, "Time to get down to business."
