"You damned little bitch! My Pei family kindly adopted you, but you are ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity. You even dared to hit your own brother! Why don't you just die!"
"He just crawled into your bed for a bit, so what? He's your brother!"
"Stop pretending to be dead! Get up!"
"Hello, hello..."
The gradually fading curses echoed in her ears, and Qin Sheng felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her forehead. She subconsciously reached out to touch it.
The warm, sticky texture, with a faint fishy smell, was a scent she knew all too well.
Blood.
A jumble of memories flooded into Qin Sheng's mind, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes, hidden beneath her thick, dark eyelashes.
She opened her eyes and slowly stood up: "You're up, so what?"
The little girl's clear, almond-shaped eyes swept over Qin Xuehua, showing no emotion whatsoever, yet making the hairs on the back of Qin Xuehua's neck stand on end.
Realizing what was happening, he became even angrier: "What are you looking at? Get up and kneel down in front of your brother to apologize!"
Qin Sheng followed Qin Xuehua's finger and looked in the direction she was pointing, only to meet Pei Yu's smug gaze. She paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."
She was truly beautiful; even when expressionless, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Now, when she smiled, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, sparkling and radiant.
Pei Yu's eyes were practically glued to her.
He didn't come to his senses until the girl walked right up to him.
Pei Yu coughed to cover his dazed expression, then waved his hand magnanimously: "Whether I apologize or not is not important, it's just that the kick you gave me earlier really hurts my back. If you really feel bad about it, come to my room and rub my back for me."
Without waiting for Qin Sheng's reply, he reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, but was stopped halfway.
Pei Yu looked surprised: "What do you mean?"
He was met with the girl's indifferent gaze and a crisp "click" sound.
"ah!!!"
A pig-like scream echoed through the empty living room. Pei Yu collapsed to the ground, clutching his severed right hand, large beads of sweat streaming down his face.
He looked at his hands, then at Qin Sheng, and exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually dared to?!"
Since you've already done it, why ask her if she dares?
Qin Sheng glanced at him and then looked away.
I can't even be bothered to pay attention to it.
Qin Xuehua finally realized what was happening. She rushed to Pei Yu's side, and when she saw his right hand hanging down in a strange arc, she almost went crazy!
"Qin, Sheng!!!"
Qin Xuehua roared, her eyes blazing as she glared at Qin Sheng, who had somehow retreated to the side.
"Didn't you say I hit him?" Qin Sheng casually pulled out two tissues to wipe her hands and said indifferently, "That's what you call hitting."
His calm demeanor was as if he were saying, "The weather is pretty good today," which made Qin Xuehua completely lose her temper!
She grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and slashed it at Qin Sheng's face!
Qin Sheng naturally wouldn't stand by and let her cut. She blocked Qin Xuehua's hand and snatched the knife away with a gentle pull.
The sharp tip of the knife gleamed with a cold white light, making the girl's already fair fingertips appear even more delicate and tender.
Qin Xuehua instinctively took two steps back: "What do you want to do?!"
Her timid and hesitant demeanor made it seem as if she wasn't the one who had just committed the attack with the knife.
Qin Sheng lowered his head and fiddled with the sharp knife in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
"Enough!"
Just then, a cold, deep shout rang out.
Pei's father, who had been sitting silently on the sofa, stood up. His gaze swept over Pei Yu and Qin Xuehua before finally settling on Qin Sheng.
He stared at Qin Sheng, his voice deep: "Have you been fooling around enough?!"
"Nonsense?" Qin Sheng savored the words, her voice as cold as her expression. "The Pei family is one of the most powerful families in Ancheng. Pei Yu sneaking into my bed in the middle of the night, coveting my elder sister. If word gets out, what will become of the Pei family's reputation?"
Pei Yongshou's expression changed.
He had Pei Yu, his only son, when he was middle-aged, and he always doted on him. But since this incident, he has not said a word. Why?
It's because they were worried that if this got out, it would be bad for the Pei family!
After a long silence, Pei's father finally softened his tone: "Xiao Sheng, we are family. There's nothing we can't resolve."
“Yu’er is your younger brother. He was scared when it thundered and rained last night, so he ran to your room. He’s just too dependent on you as his older sister, so why are you holding a grudge?”
“Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven. I am seventeen, while he,” Qin Sheng pointed at Pei Yu with her snow-white chin, “is sixteen.”
"Moreover," Qin Sheng smiled, but it wasn't a genuine smile, "he's even afraid of thunder. Did the Pei family put in so much effort to raise such a useless person?"
The little girl's voice was clear and calm, but her words were extremely piercing, and Qin Xuehua instantly lost her temper.
"What do you mean by 'seven years old and not sitting together'? Qin Sheng, don't give me that flowery talk. All I know is that our Pei family raised you, fed you, clothed you, and sent you to school. What more could you possibly want from an adopted, money-losing child? You absolutely have to take good care of your younger brother!"
"You have two choices today: either break both your own hands to apologize to your brother and promise to obey us in everything from now on, or get out of this house!"
"Our Pei family won't tolerate an ingrate like you!" Qin Xuehua said sternly.
Pei Yongshou remained silent this time, clearly acquiescing to Qin Xuehua's decision.
Qin Sheng remained silent for a moment.
