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

Chapter 5

Qiao Chuchu's brain short-circuited.

[What?! This beautiful big sister actually wants to be friends with me? I thought I'd never have friends in my life!]

Because of her reputation as a "brother-obsessed" girl, no one her age wanted to be friends with her.

This was the first time someone wanted to be her friend!

Qiao Chuchu was bubbling with excitement.

[Lin Qing has always been the beautiful girl I admired, and as the male lead's fiancée, it's not right that she got replaced by that homewrecker. A girl like her deserves a better life!]

Lin Qing was surprised.

To be honest, she approached Qiao Chuchu because she valued her ability to know inside information.

But... she didn't expect Qiao Chuchu would think of her this way in her heart.

She was a sincere little sister.

Lin Qing's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but become more genuine.

Then, she heard Qiao Chuchu's excited inner thoughts—

[Big sister has such nice abs, if we become close friends, can I touch them? I've never touched abs before.]

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming more alluring as she unzipped her motorcycle jacket, revealing her slim waist underneath.

Her perfectly defined abs were clearly visible to Qiao Chuchu.

Qiao Chuchu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

[Holy crap! What's going on?! Is this a gift from heaven?]

Lin Qing curved her lips, coaxing gently: "If you're willing to be my friend, you can touch my abs."

Qiao Chuchu: "!!!!!!"

[She actually knows what I want! She understands me! She loves me! She must like me!!]

The brothers behind her: "..."

It was confirmed that Lin Qing could also hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts.

But was Qiao Chuchu really so easily impressed by just some abs?

How ridiculous, which of the seven brothers didn't have abs?

Pei Yuan looked at Third Brother: "Pei Youchuan!"

Third Brother Pei Youchuan stood at attention.

Pei Yuan: "Take off your shirt!"

Without a word, Pei Youchuan started unbuttoning.

Under his white shirt was an impressive eight-pack that looked incredibly touchable!

And with a healthy tan to boot!

Pei Youchuan smiled confidently: "Chuchu."

Qiao Chuchu turned around, her eyes wide as saucers!

Pei Youchuan hooked his thumb in his waistband, proudly showing off his muscular physique: "Look at what your brother's got?"

As he spoke, Pei Youchuan cockily raised an eyebrow at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing suddenly understood something and asked in surprise: "Could you all also hear—"

Pei Youchuan smiled mysteriously: "Yes, exactly that."

Lin Qing: "!"

Damn it!

Didn't that mean their objectives had collided?

She had originally planned to keep Qiao Chuchu by her side.

Lin Qing felt somewhat annoyed.

Neither group spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Qiao Chuchu was now a precious resource since she knew their future paths.

They would never let go!

Everyone simultaneously looked at Qiao Chuchu, waiting for her final judgment.

Pei Youchuan puffed out his chest and cleared his throat: "Your brother works out every day, there isn't a single imperfect muscle on my body. Look at Third Brother's physique, these V-lines, aren't they much better than mere abs?"

Lin Qing glanced at Pei Youchuan's muscles.

...They were indeed impressive.

They looked like they'd feel nice to touch.

Feeling inferior, she put her clothes back on.

Qiao Chuchu: "? Third Brother, are you a pervert?"

Pei Youchuan: "?"

Others: "?"

Lin Qing's eyes brightened as she asked in surprise: "What's wrong, don't you like your brother's abs?"

Qiao Chuchu said with disgust: "Who would like their own brother's abs? I'm not a pervert—no, I mean, precious things should be kept hidden for private appreciation, right? I don't want anyone to see my brothers' abs."

[That was close! I almost forgot I'm supposed to be playing the brother-obsessed role. I nearly slipped up!]

[Even though the system isn't by my side right now, I should maintain my character until it returns, otherwise it might punish me again!]

Lin Qing's eye twitched.

So it was the system that made Qiao Chuchu brother-obsessed.

She looked at Pei Youchuan with interest: "Third Brother Pei, looks like you've failed. Those muscles of yours have zero appeal."

Pei Youchuan choked, retorting indignantly: "You're the one who failed! You just don't know how to appreciate this!"

Qiao Chuchu secretly rolled her eyes dramatically.

[Appreciate? Please, can someone lend me a pair of eyes that haven't seen their brothers' bare stomachs?!]

Pei Youchuan's mouth twitched as he glared at Qiao Chuchu in annoyance.

It seemed his dear sister had always been two-faced!

Noticing Pei Youchuan's resentful gaze, Qiao Chuchu immediately put on a professional fake smile: "Brother is so handsome, I'll look more when we get home."

[As if I'll look when we get home!]

Pei Youchuan gritted his teeth as he slowly buttoned up his shirt: "Qiao Chuchu, I'm warning you, if you don't look, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and put them on the table to make them look."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

[What's wrong with him? Usually, he can't wait to fly away when standing next to me, but today he wants me to look at his abs? He might as well blind me, then I won't have to wash my eyes even if he strips naked in front of me.]

The other brothers: "Pfft!!"

Damn, she really went there with the naked comment.

Pei Youchuan's face reddened with anger as he lowered his voice: "What are you laughing at? You don't know what she's thinking about you guys in her head!"

The other brothers' smiles froze as they began to realize.

Right.

Qiao Chuchu was only pursuing them because the system forced her to.

She didn't actually like them at all.

Was she talking trash about them in her mind?!

The brothers' internal alarms went off!

Lin Qing smiled slyly, shaking her head: "Looks like among all of you, only I've earned genuine appreciation."

Qiao Chuchu asked confused: "What do you mean, Sister Lin Qing?"

Lin Qing shook her head affectionately: "Nothing, let's add each other as friends."

Qiao Chuchu nodded, but as she was about to scan the code, she suddenly remembered her profile picture.

It was a Q-version family portrait of all eight of them.

She drew it herself.

Her infamous reputation as a brother-obsessed weirdo was well-known throughout Lan City's social circles.

She didn't want Lin Qing to think she was a pervert and lose this hard-won friendship.

Qiao Chuchu looked awkwardly at Lin Qing: "Um... Sister Lin Qing, you don't mind my... personal preferences?"

Lin Qing remained composed: "You mean the brother-obsessed thing?"

Qiao Chuchu nodded self-consciously.

Lin Qing typed casually on her phone: "It doesn't matter, after all, you and your brothers are mutually devoted. They're pretty sister-obsessed themselves."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

The seven Pei brothers: "?"

Pei Yuan scolded: "Lin Qing, stop slandering us!"

Lin Qing shrugged indifferently: "Well, you can call it slander if you want."

Pei Yuan was speechless but warned Qiao Chuchu sternly: "Don't believe what she says, understand?"

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

[I wouldn't believe it anyway, after all, you guys don't even look at me during holidays, and you cut off my living expenses for several years. How could people like that be sister-obsessed?]

Pei Yuan: "..."

They cut off her allowance because she danced in front of them wearing a sexy camisole during New Year's!

They never stopped paying for her food, tuition, driver, and housekeeper!

Pei Yuan wanted to argue.

But he decided against it.

It was better if she misunderstood, otherwise this girl would be overjoyed.

However...

If Qiao Chuchu was no longer controlled by the system, would she still be that clingy, dramatic, unreasonably spoiled little sister?
