Weisheng Biehe stood in the restroom, repeatedly reading the note in his hand, his gaze lingering on the latter half.
——「I want to passionately kiss you in the restroom, to see your cool eyes turn red with desire for me, to hear you gasp my name, to make you love me so much it drives you mad!」
His ears gradually turned red, and he calmly tucked the note away before stepping out.
Qiao Chuchu happened to arrive at the women's restroom entrance and bumped into him.
Weisheng Biehe: "..."
Qiao Chuchu gave him a slight nod.
Weisheng Biehe's face remained expressionless, but his mind drifted back to the note.
——「I want to passionately kiss you in the restroom!」
「Passionately kiss!」
「Kiss!」
「Kiss!」
His breath hitched, and he tightly crumpled the note into a ball, his voice low and demanding: "What are you doing here?"
The question caught Qiao Chuchu off guard.
She glanced up at the sign.
【This is the women's restroom in the banquet hall, not Weisheng Biehe's study, right?】
She felt awkward: "I came to use the restroom."
【What kind of ridiculous question is that? Of course, I came to use the restroom. I can't possibly be here to eat, can I?】
Weisheng Biehe stiffened, taking a few steps back: "Oh, to use the restroom."
He lowered his eyes, his expression calm, but his ears were so red they looked like they might bleed: "That's good, then go ahead."
Qiao Chuchu found the whole exchange baffling: "...Thank you."
Biehe replied stiffly: "You're welcome."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
【What kind of absurd conversation is this??】
She pushed the door open and saw a man with a very feminine appearance standing in front of the vanity, touching up his makeup, while a strikingly masculine woman stood beside him with a stern expression.
As she entered, both of them looked up at her simultaneously.
The man covered his mouth with both hands: "Oh my!~"
The woman jumped in surprise: "Holy crap!"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
She slammed the door shut in an instant!
Weisheng Biehe, still standing outside the door: "...Why did you come out?"
Qiao Chuchu looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her face filled with shock: "There's a man in there."
Weisheng Biehe: "? A man?"
He reached for the door to go in.
Qiao Chuchu quickly stopped him: "Don't! There's also a woman in there!"
Weisheng Biehe was even more shocked: "? A man and a woman in the same restroom?"
Qiao Chuchu was also a bit confused: "Yes, but they're using the restroom properly, not in any inappropriate way, you know what I mean?"
Weisheng Biehe: "..."
His hand unconsciously rubbed the pocket where the note was tucked away.
Qiao Chuchu felt awkward: "Maybe we should just leave to avoid making things more uncomfortable for everyone."
She turned to leave.
Suddenly, Biehe grabbed her hand: "Let's go to my room."
She turned back, startled.
Weisheng Biehe's hand was icy cold, sending a shiver through her, and she instinctively tried to pull away.
But Biehe held on tightly, his tea-colored eyes filled with an unreadable emotion: "My room has a private bathroom."
Qiao Chuchu was horrified and immediately refused: "No!"
Weisheng Biehe: "?"
Qiao Chuchu yanked her hand back as if she had seen a ghost: "No, no, no, no, no!"
She even wiped her hand where he had touched her: "I'll hold it in for a bit longer, thank you for your kindness! Goodbye!"
【Why do I feel so creeped out?!】
【After all, this is the same fourth brother who tried to imprison Xia Xuechun, and doesn't he have a cleanliness obsession?! Why is he inviting me to his private bathroom?!】
【Is he planning to kill me?!】
【My brothers, where are you? I'm so scared being alone here!】
Weisheng Biehe stood frozen, watching Qiao Chuchu's panicked retreat, then pulled out the note again.
Why didn't Qiao Chuchu's reaction match what was written on the note?
Suddenly, a heated argument erupted from inside the women's restroom: "Qiao Chuchu must have found out! She knows it was us who gave Weisheng Biehe the note!"
The man wailed like a ghost: "Ahhh! What do we do now?! Qiao Chuchu will kill us, and Weisheng Biehe will kill us too!"
The woman snapped: "Stop crying! Qi Chao, you're such an idiot!!"
Weisheng Biehe's eyelid twitched as he re-examined the signature on the note.
Q.
Qiao.
Qi.
Suddenly, it all clicked, and he laughed bitterly.
So, he had been deluding himself all along?!
He nearly ground his teeth to dust, crumpled the note, and tossed it into the trash before pushing open the women's restroom door!
The two inside gasped when they saw him!
Weisheng Biehe's voice was filled with murderous intent: "Get out!"
The two: "..."
Biehe slammed the door shut and stormed into the banquet hall, searching for Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu, like a frightened cat, nervously scanned the room, only to lock eyes with him.
Her face turned pale!
【Oh no! The yandere is looking at me! I need to get out of here!!】
Biehe narrowed his eyes and strode toward her!
Just then, a melodious piano tune filled the hall.
Weisheng Biehe turned toward the sound.
Xia Xuechun, dressed in a server's uniform, was sitting at the piano, playing "Dream Wedding."
Xia Xuechun's eyes were closed, her expression one of pure bliss, a faint smile on her lips.
Weisheng Biehe paused, watching Xia Xuechun lost in the music, his face filled with disbelief.
What happened to the pianist? How could they let a server play the piano? And so poorly at that!
But he had no time to dwell on it. He needed to catch Qiao Chuchu.
Just as he turned, he saw Qiao Chuchu walking toward him.
Qiao Chuchu was on the verge of tears.
【Damn it, I was trying to avoid this yandere, but why is Weisheng Biehe's storyline starting now?】
【I can't just ignore it. If even one person from the Weisheng family falls, Sister Yucan could be in danger.】
【Protecting my favorite is non-negotiable! Even if it means facing a yandere, I have to step up!】
【This is a crucial turning point. Because Xia Xuechun played the piano at Weisheng Biehe's birthday party, he developed feelings for her, gradually got to know her, and fell for her heart of gold.】
【He can't hear this piano piece. If I can prevent him from falling for Xia Xuechun, his fate will take a major turn!】
She steeled herself and walked up to Weisheng Biehe: "Mr. Biehe."
The anger in Weisheng Biehe's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of amusement as he raised an eyebrow: "Yes?"
Qiao Chuchu struggled to find the right words, fidgeting awkwardly: "Could I... use the staff restroom in your house? I don't know my way around."
Weisheng Biehe's eyes lit up, his tone playful: "Of course."
He stepped aside: "After you."
Qiao Chuchu forced herself to move forward, muttering under her breath: "He's not going to kill me, right?"
Weisheng Biehe paused, leaning down closer to her: "How did you know I was going to kill you?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?!"
His expression softened, a faint smile tugging at his lips: "What should I do? If I'm going to kill you, will you still come?"
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
【Oh my god, this guy really is a psycho. I don't even know if I should believe his answer or not!】
She glanced at Xia Xuechun, clenched her teeth, and closed her eyes: "I'll go!"
【If I don't take the plunge, who will?!】
Biehe was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"
The sound was so unexpected that everyone turned to look at them in surprise.
Weisheng Biehe, known for his aloof demeanor, was now laughing so hard he could barely stand straight. Ignoring the shocked stares, he grabbed Qiao Chuchu's hand: "Then let's go, Miss Qiao."
