Chapter 35
Qiao Chuchu got cream in her eyes and couldn't see clearly. She hurriedly rubbed them, but the more she rubbed, the blurrier her vision became, leaving her unable to see what was in front of her.
A handkerchief appeared before her: "Here, wipe it off."
Qiao Chuchu was startled by this unexpected kindness. Through her blurred vision, she vaguely saw Lin Shen's concerned gaze.
[Am I hallucinating? I think I just saw Lin Shen?]
The Pei Brothers looked at Lin Shen with confusion.
Lin Qing also stared at Lin Shen in surprise.
Lin Shen shook his head, feeling somewhat strange.
Qiao Chuchu hadn't spoken, yet he heard her voice?
Finally, Qiao Chuchu cleared her eyes, only to meet Lin Shen's puzzled gaze.
She stumbled backward in shock, lost her balance, and landed right on Xia Xuechun's lap!
Xia Xuechun let out a painful "Ow!" and fainted again!
Qiao Chuchu couldn't believe it: [When I'm perfectly made up, I don't see anyone I know, but when my face is covered in cream and I'm not wearing any makeup, I run into my first love?!]
Lin Shen froze.
Everyone else was dumbfounded!

First love?!
Lin Qing was the most surprised, jabbing Lin Shen hard: "What's going on with you—"
She stopped mid-sentence, realizing she had just heard Qiao Chuchu's inner thoughts.
Lin Shen felt strange, vaguely sensing something wasn't right.
He... seemed to be able to hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts.
And his sister apparently could hear them too.
Lin Shen looked toward the Pei Brothers.
Pei Yuan and Pei Buxian and the others stared at him with deep, dark gazes.
Oblivious to all this, Qiao Chuchu lowered her head awkwardly and said, "I'll go wash my face."
She lifted Xia Xuechun with impressive strength, carrying her like a side of pork, and walked away with steady steps.
Lin Shen stared intently at her retreating figure.
Suddenly, Pei Buxian blocked his view.
Holding a dog, Pei Buxian's pale face broke into an eerie smile: "Lin Shen, you can hear that voice too, can't you?"
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.
Auntie Wang and Little Xie, who had been there earlier, had disappeared at some point, leaving only the familiar faces in the living room.
Lin Shen asked puzzled: "What voice?"
Pei Buxian didn't wait for his acknowledgment and said directly: "So you're our Pei family's eighth sister's first love."
He looked Lin Shen up and down critically: "Qiao Chuchu must have been blind to fall for you."
Lin Shen: "?"
Lin Qing hissed and stood up to defend him: "What are you saying, Pei Seven? My brother is gentle, wealthy, and not bad-looking. What's wrong with Qiao Chuchu falling for a big brother like him?"
She turned to Lin Shen: "I support you two being together. Qiao Chuchu will be my sister-in-law!"
Pei Buxian's face turned blue: "No way!"
Lin Qing retorted fiercely: "Why not? You're all sister complexes and now you want to drag your sister into this too? That's too much!"
Lin Shen grew more confused: "What are you all talking about?"
Lin Qing explained: "We're talking about the inner voices, the ones you heard from Qiao Chuchu in your mind."
Lin Shen couldn't believe it: "Can you all hear them?"
Lin Qing nodded: "Of course we can all hear them, but only certain people can. We suspect that those who can hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts are all destined for bad endings."
She pointed to herself: "My fate was to go to prison for several years, and after getting out, I had a mental breakdown and committed suicide."
She then pointed at the Pei family members: "These seven went bankrupt and died miserably on the streets."
Pei Yuan calmly continued: "Since you can also hear Qiao Chuchu's thoughts, let me explain the current situation. After all, you're Lin Qing's brother, and from now on, we'll need to work together."
Lin Shen stood there shocked, looking at everyone's serious expressions, realizing this wasn't a joke.
He nodded very solemnly: "Alright."
