Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 301

Goosebumps prickled along her neck as she turned her face away. "I don’t know what you—"

Knock, knock, knock!

A sharp rapping at the door made her exhale in relief. "Someone’s outside. Let’s go—we shouldn’t keep them waiting!"

"Don’t worry about it," Pei Che smirked. "It’s Weisheng Huailing. No matter what sounds we make in here, he won’t hear a thing."

Before she could react, he pinned her against the door, shielding her face with his hand.

Qiao Chuchu gasped as her palms slammed against the wood—

BANG!

Outside, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‍Weisheng Huailing stood cluelessly by the bathroom door, oblivious to the noise.

Her heart pounded as she glared at Pei Che. "What the hell are you doing?!"

His lips curved into a sly grin as he looked down at her. "See? He can’t hear a thing. No matter how loud this door gets, he’ll never know."

Knock, knock, knock!

Another impatient series of knocks sounded.

Pei Che only seemed more amused, leaning in closer. "Chuchu, you can’t be with a man like him. Not that I look down on him, but he’s deaf, volatile, and insecure. No matter how handsome he is, no matter how sweet his sign language, no matter how wealthy—he’ll never be good enough for you. Understand?"

She squirmed, unnerved. "I get it. But can we leave now?"

Pei Che’s grip tightened. "No."

Qiao Chuchu: "…?"

He turned her to face him, his tone deliberate. "We’re two adults alone in a bathroom. What do you think he’ll assume?"

She scowled. "I don’t care what he thinks. I don’t care about anyone’s opinions. I just don’t want to stay here anymore. And stop touching me like this—we might be close, but not this close. Learn some boundaries."

With that, she yanked the door open.

Pei Che reached out to stop her, but it was too late. He sighed in disappointment.

The moment the door moved, Weisheng Huailing’s face lit up with a friendly smile—until Qiao Chuchu stepped out, followed by a tall man.

A man.

His smile vanished instantly.

Pei Che strode out after her, his lips curved in a casual smirk as he glanced down at Huailing. "Oh, it’s you."

Qiao Chuchu shot him a disgusted look.

[Stop pretending. You knew it was Huailing all along. You just wanted to bully him because he can’t hear—making me slam the door on purpose.]

Pei Che met her glare unflinchingly before turning back to Huailing.

Weisheng Huailing stood frozen.

Slam the door?

What slamming?

How?

They’d been making noise this whole time, and he—deaf as he was—hadn’t heard a thing?

His mind reeled as Pei Che brushed past him, a smug, satisfied grin playing on his lips.

Like he’d just gotten away with something in that bathroom.

Rage surged through Huailing.

His fist shot out before he could stop it—

CRACK!

Pei Che staggered back, slamming into the wall.

Huailing lunged at him, ready to strike again—

"HUAILING, STOP!" Qiao Chuchu threw herself between them, shielding Pei Che.

Blood trickled from Pei Che’s lips, but he only grinned wider, as if he’d expected this.

Huailing’s chest heaved, his hands trembling with fury.

Qiao Chuchu shoved him back. "Enough!"

This guy was a trained killer—Pei Che didn’t stand a chance.

She kept herself between them, glaring at Huailing. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Huailing’s hands moved sharply, his signs furious. «You’re protecting him?»

She frowned. "Of course I am! He’s my brother!"

Weisheng Huailing’s eyes narrowed as he shot Pei Che a venomous look. «You see him as family, but he doesn’t see you that way! What were you two doing in there?!»

Qiao Chuchu signed back, baffled. «Just talking.»

«Then what was that about slamming the door?!» His fingers trembled with rage. «You won’t even let me kiss you, but you’re banging doors with him?! What’s wrong with me?! Is it because I’m deaf?!»

Qiao Chuchu: "? I hit the door because he pushed me! If I pushed you against a door, you’d hit it too! Is this really something worth bringing up?"

Weisheng Huailing froze: "?"

He gestured uncertainly: 「You mean literally hitting the door?」

Qiao Chuchu grew impatient: "What other kind of ‘hitting the door’ could there be?!"

Weisheng Huailing: "……"

He thought it was the other kind—

Realizing this, Huailing’s expression darkened as he glanced at Pei Che.

Damn it! He’d acted impulsively!

Pei Che stood up from the floor, wiping the blood from his lips, and shrugged with exaggerated nonchalance. "Chuchu, I already told you—this Weisheng Huailing would misunderstand us. And now I got punched for it."

"But I didn’t fight back," he added smugly, flashing Huailing a taunting grin. "I was afraid he’d cry. After all, he’s such a crybaby."

Huailing clenched his teeth at Pei Che before turning to Qiao Chuchu with worry.

Qiao Chuchu rose on her tiptoes to inspect Pei Che’s bruised lip. "But your mouth is already swelling."

Pei Che’s smile deepened at her concern. "It’s fine. Don’t worry about me. Huailing has always been possessive of you. Even though we grew up together and share a deeper bond, he can’t stand anyone else being close to you—he wants you all to himself."

"I get it," Pei Che said, his gaze locking onto Huailing’s pale face, his eyes brimming with open provocation. "I really do."

Huailing’s eyes widened as he anxiously searched Qiao Chuchu’s expression.

Her face had already darkened with anger. 「You should go home first, Huailing.」

Huailing’s heart sank. He shook his head frantically, signing with pleading desperation: 「Chuchu, I’m sorry! I thought he was abusing you—that’s why you hit the door! I was just so worried! I acted without thinking!」

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Pei Che: "?"

Abuse?

Huailing explained earnestly: 「I wasn’t jealous, Chuchu! I really thought he was hurting you!」

Pei Che scoffed. "That’s ridiculous—"

But Qiao Chuchu seemed convinced. "Really?"

Pei Che: "?"
