"Well, you looked so frightened when you saw my face. I must be the devil in your dream."
Chu Moyin pinched the rubber tip of the dropper and squeezed a drop of liquid into the test tube.
"That's right." Chu Shangli got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Who allowed you to enter my room casually?"
"No one allowed it." Chu Moyin said calmly, "But why did you get the illusion that the scumbag female supporting characters would listen to the heroine? If all the vicious female supporting characters could listen to what people say, the world would probably be half as peaceful."
While Chu Shangli was pondering the conditions for achieving complete world peace, Chu Moyin spoke up: "You're curious about the other half, right? Well, that's what it would take for the heroine to not be obsessed with love, and then there would be a great harmony in life."
“…”
Chu Shangli complained in his heart, Chu Moyin, how dare you say that - you killed the man you loved and imprisoned his fiancée. It seems that in your mind, being a yandere is not a love-brained person but a sign of female superiority, right?
"If you want to complain, just complain directly. Don't criticize me in your heart or mock me secretly without moving your mouth." Chu Moyin held his chin: "Come to think of it, I am the enemy you have to defeat after your rebirth. You should show a more imposing attitude. Is it okay for you to be so afraid of me?"
Chu Shangli snorted, "I'm not afraid of you. But if a toad or a caterpillar jumps on your feet, you'll always be scared, right?"
"Are you looking down on toads? Toad venom is good for removing sores and swellings. And without caterpillars, mustard wouldn't produce glucosinolates, and now we wouldn't have mustard to eat. Do you think a vicious female supporting character like me could make such a significant contribution to nature? Thank you very much for the compliment."
"I didn't praise you!"
"Talking to myself and confusing right and wrong is probably an inherent ability of a character like me. I don't care what you think, I care what I think - as long as I feel good about myself and think you are praising me, nothing can defeat me."
“…”
Bah, so shameless...
Chu Moyin ignored her look of disgust and calmly poured the liquid in the test tube he had been fiddling with into a small carved bottle that was so exquisite that it was a bit pretentious.
"Here, here's the shampoo I mixed especially for you. It's all-natural, without any additives, and it moisturizes and nourishes your hair, with a natural floral scent. I'm still in the process of mixing the facial cleanser, shower gel, and skincare products—you've never paid much attention to these things before, and you've even been a little dismissive. Since you're reborn, I figured I'd start from scratch to have a good start, so I chose to finish the shampoo first—"
"I refuse. You're definitely not doing this for the best of reasons. Using this shampoo will definitely cause hair loss, and if it gets on your face or skin, it might even disfigure you."
"Don't think of me as so narrow-minded. I have my own moral principles too. Feel free to use it. I'm sure I didn't poison it." Chu Moyin pushed the bottle of shampoo on the table. "Rather than deliberately causing you to lose your hair and disfigure yourself, wouldn't it be better to use you as a guinea pig for my new product?"
"..." Chu Shangli was speechless: "Are you so straightforward?"
"Well, you're already a woman who's read the script. It's pointless for me to pretend to be good, stupid, and innocent. It's a complete waste of my time and energy. It's better to be honest with you."
"That's right. We should be honest with each other. I'll tell you straight out—" Chu Shangli took the shampoo prepared by Chu Moyin and poured it into the cactus pot on the table: "I won't use it."
"Ah, ah, Chu Shangli, you are really committing a sin. What did that poor cactus do wrong? Why did you hurt it? You might kill it by doing this."
"So, are you admitting that there's something wrong with this bottle of shampoo?"
"No. If you pour in ordinary shampoo, the high concentration of purified substances and alkaline environment will kill the cactus. But..." Chu Moyin cleared his throat: "But it doesn't matter. I thought you might do this because you are wary of me, so from the beginning this is not a shampoo but a growth agent. Even if it is poured into the soil, it will not cause any actual harm to it."
She gave Chu Shangli a thumbs-up and winked slyly, "Isn't that awesome? Amazing! Am I a genius? Compared to the cannon fodder that exploded right at the start, isn't this more like the final boss?"
The aloof Chu Moyin actually showed a smug and even somewhat smug look. Chu Shangli was really a little uncomfortable with this and even got goose bumps all over his body.
Chu Moyin not only did not reflect on himself, but also happily continued to launch his attack: "Well, to be honest, you have to face the same powerful boss in two lifetimes. You are too pitiful. As a villain, I actually feel a little pity for you."
She curled her lips and complained, "It's unnecessary, disgusting," then turned and went into the bathroom and locked the door.
In front of the huge dressing mirror in the bathroom—she screamed again.
A dark shadow appeared on the frosted glass door. "You're so energetic. You screamed so many times this morning. Could it be that your dream after rebirth is to become a soprano? But there's something wrong with your vocalization. If you really want to develop in the direction of singing, I suggest you ask your father Luo Yunjiang to hire a professional music teacher for you. Of course, you can also let me coach you - but I'm sure you won't agree - let your enemy coach your singing..."
"Chu Moyin!" Chu Shangli pushed open the bathroom door and grabbed her hair and yelled at her, "What did you do to my hair?!"
Chu Shangli's hair originally had waves dyed aqua blue and scattered on her back like seaweed, but now it has been dyed honey brown, the waves have been straightened, the fine bangs have been cut neatly to just cover her eyebrows, and her waist-length hair has been short and scattered on her collarbone.
Chu Moyin turned his face away, covered his eyes with one hand, and coughed twice.
"Didn't I just say it? It's a rare opportunity to be reborn, so don't be muddleheaded anymore. Start from scratch and show a new look. Although I don't want to complain, your previous hairstyle was really ugly, so tacky, and shocking. It made me feel embarrassed and obsessive-compulsive. But your personality used to be that of an innocent and naive little sister, and my position was that of an indifferent, hypocritical and scumbag sister. It doesn't matter to me if you are ugly. But now it's different. I don't want my nemesis to be a bumpkin who slaps me in the face and abuses me. My enemy must also be beautiful to be worthy of me. So I changed your hairstyle while you were asleep. How about it? Does it look good?"
