As she spoke, she hurriedly rummaged through her open silk nightgown, only to find a bunch of gleaming hidden weapons.

"Oh dear," Shu Rou patted her forehead in annoyance, "I put my bank card in another bag. Brother Qin Xiao, wait for me a moment, I'll go get it right away! I have so many cards, I can't even spend all the money in them!"

She started to run out as she spoke, as if she would feel uneasy if she didn't give the money to Qin Xiao immediately.

Qin Xiao grabbed her arm: "Wait!"

Looking at Shu Rou's face, which seemed to say "Let me spend money on you," he suddenly understood what the "unconditional devotion-type emotional circuit implantation program" meant.

This girl feels uneasy if she doesn't do something for him or spend something on him.

Qin Xiao recalled some fragments of Shu Rou's memories from the original owner's past. This girl seemed to be very lonely as a child. Her pets always died inexplicably. The only one who seemed willing to play with her and do those strange "experiments" with her was young Qin Xiao.

Her twisted possessiveness may stem from deep-seated insecurity and an obsessive yearning for unique warmth.

Now, the yandere aspect has been stripped away, but the deep-seated obsession with "being good to him" has been preserved in a purer, and more... silly way.

Qin Xiao held her cold little hand, looking into her clear eyes that held a hint of confusion and anxiety, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Shu Rou, don't be so nervous. I'll take care of the money."

He paused, then said softly, "From now on, I will always be by your side."

Shu Rou's body trembled slightly as she slowly raised her head to look at Qin Xiao.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes glistened with tears. The anxiety and unease she had felt earlier because she couldn't find her bank card gradually dissipated like a thin mist blown away by a spring breeze after hearing Qin Xiao's words.

Instead, there is an indescribable feeling of being moved and dependent.

"Brother Qin Xiao..." she murmured, her eyes instantly reddening, and large tears rolled down her cheeks without warning.

But a radiant smile bloomed on her face, a smile that was clean and pure, as bright as the sun after the rain.

"Mmm!" She nodded vigorously, her voice thick with nasal tone, yet unusually firm, "Brother Qin Xiao, you're so kind!"

She sniffed, then suddenly leaned closer to Qin Xiao and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Qin Xiao, I think I just heard you say... that guy named Ye Chen is a bad person, right?"

Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat: "Yes."

"Then..." Shu Rou's eyes sparkled, a sweet smile graced her face, and her tone revealed an eager excitement, "Brother Qin Xiao, I'll help you kill him, okay? My 'Yun Rou' says I'm very powerful! Killing a bad guy is definitely no problem!"

Qin Xiao: "!!!"

Looking at Shu Rou's innocent face, which even seemed to be asking for praise, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

So...wasn't this yandere cured?

It seems like... the illness has shifted from affecting internal organs to affecting external ones?

Is this the legendary... punitive personality type?
