Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 209: The First Son of Luck, Shi Yu

Qiao Chuchu was in a daze when the auctioneer suddenly struck the hammer: "Fifty million, sold to this gentleman!"

Amidst the noise in the venue, the Pei family members slowly began to react, turning their attention toward the sickly young man.

The young man gestured for the old butler behind him to wheel the cart over to Qiao Chuchu and extended his hand to her. "Hello, Miss Qiao. My name is Shi Yu."

Qiao Chuchu lowered her eyes and briefly scanned his hand.

His fingers were long and unnaturally pale, the skin stretched tight over bones, only slightly more fleshed out than the body she had just seen.

It looked as if it would shatter with the slightest touch.

Having seen many delicate beauties before, Qiao Chuchu thought of Shi Yu as a typical ethereal beauty. His narrow, upward-slanted phoenix eyes, small, delicate lips, and slender bone structure gave him a face as small as a palm, and his wrist seemed only slightly thicker than hers.

His features were actually quite faint, but his aura stood out.

He had the aura of someone who had been surrounded by poetry and literature.

Qiao Chuchu took a sharp breath, unable to stop herself from thinking,

【So this is what true "fragile beauty" looks like.】

【The kind of beauty that makes you want to punch them and cry for three days.】

Shi Yu’s eyelids twitched, and his raised hand seemed to want to lower.

Qiao Chuchu snapped back to her senses and quickly grasped his hand. "Hello, I’m Qiao Chu."

Shi Yu resumed his usual demeanor. "I know. The first painting you sold at your first exhibition was bought by me."

Qiao Chuchu was surprised. "Huh? I thought it was an older gentleman."

"He was my butler at the time," Shi Yu said with a smile. "He’s old now and has gone home to retire."

Qiao Chuchu finally understood, becoming more enthusiastic. 【Then he's a regular client! I should thank him properly!】

She expressed her thanks, "Thank you for your appreciation! But fifty million is really too high for this painting."

Shi Yu averted his gaze and looked at the eight people standing behind him, eyes full of vigilance. "Miss Qiao’s paintings are so popular that if I hadn’t attracted everyone’s attention, I’m afraid the auction would still be going on."

The Pei brothers, who had been watching from behind, were uneasy.

Pei Bu Xian couldn’t hold back anymore and stood up to walk over.

Shi Yu’s gaze darkened, and he suddenly pressed down on Qiao Chuchu’s hand, speaking quickly. "Miss Qiao, do you know why Xia Xuechun swears and there’s thunder?"

Qiao Chuchu blinked. "Why?"

Shi Yu tilted his head and smiled at her. "Those favored by heaven who do wrong but don’t repent, yet dare to swear and openly provoke others, their fate has already been drained."

"Xia Xuechun not only harmed Qi Xiao Jia but also harmed others."

"Long Yunxiao, the second son of the Long family, and his wife were once in love. That woman had treated Xia Xuechun well at first, but later, when she discovered Long Yunxiao had fallen for Xia Xuechun, she went to speak to her in private, only to be dismissed by Xia Xuechun with the excuse of 'they are innocent' and told Long Yunxiao about it."

"Long Yunxiao flew into a rage, struck his wife, and she fell down the stairs, breaking her neck and becoming paralyzed."

Qiao Chuchu couldn’t believe it. "Long Yunxiao’s wife is paralyzed? Why hasn’t anyone heard about this?"

Shi Yu answered, "The Long family deliberately suppressed it. They didn’t want the family’s shame to spread. Even the woman’s maternal family doesn’t know how she got hurt. The Long family told them she fell on her own, and it had nothing to do with anyone."

"That woman is still in a coma, unable to defend herself. Xia Xuechun even went to visit her, standing by her bedside and saying that though she had wronged her, she would take care of her child. Long Yunxiao even said that Xia Xuechun is kind-hearted."

Qiao Chuchu's stomach churned. "...I’m too disgusted to say anything."

Shi Yu didn’t seem to care. "She’s been like that since she was young. I know."

Qiao Chuchu blinked. "Since she was young?"

Pei Bu Xian walked up and sat next to Qiao Chuchu, staring at Shi Yu intently.

Shi Yu furrowed his brow, covering his lips to cough twice. "If your brother were here, I wouldn’t say this."

Qiao Chuchu was taken aback and looked at Pei Bu Xian with disdain. "Why are you here?"

Pei Bu Xian didn’t mind her discomfort. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on Shi Yu. "The gentleman can speak in front of me. I’m Qiao Chuchu’s seventh brother, Pei Bu Xian. Don’t worry, whatever you say, I won’t get angry. In fact, I’m very friendly."

He slowly leaned closer to Shi Yu, his black expression spreading like ink. "Iamreallyfriendly~."

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

Shi Yu: "..."

He didn’t look very friendly at all.

Shi Yu’s lips twitched, seeming like he wanted to laugh but then suddenly started coughing violently!

He coughed until he couldn’t breathe, his pale face flushing with a faint red hue, giving him the appearance of a living person. He pressed his hand to his chest and said, "I only have two months left to live. Before I die, I would like to say a few words to my idol, Miss Qiao. Would Mr. Pei be willing to give me some time?"

He handed Pei Bu Xian a paper. "Here, this is my diagnosis."

Qiao Chuchu blinked. "?"

Why was he even carrying his diagnosis?

Pei Bu Xian hesitantly took it, scrutinizing the diagnosis in surprise. "Multiple organ failures?"

Qiao Chuchu froze and looked at Shi Yu in shock.

Shi Yu was breathing heavily, tears of pain in his eyes. "Yes, I have an unexplained organ failure. No matter what medicine I take or medical treatment I undergo, nothing works. At this rate of decline, I will be bedridden in a month, and I’ll be dead in two months."

He looked at Pei Bu Xian with pleading eyes. "So, as a dying man, I want to say a few words to my idol. Can I?"

Pei Bu Xian’s expression grew solemn. He sympathetically patted Shi Yu’s shoulder and stood up. "Please, stay strong."

Shi Yu smiled as he watched Pei Bu Xian walk away. "Mm, thank you. You’re a good person."

Pei Bu Xian lowered his head with a solemn expression, muttering, "I really shouldn’t be fighting over a woman with someone like this..."

Shi Yu watched Pei Bu Xian leave, turned to Qiao Chuchu, and smiled. "Your brother is quite a good person. I thought they’d be the kind of creepy sibling who’s obsessed with their sister, but I was wrong."

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

She wasn’t sure if her brother was a sis-con, but she was certain he was strange.

She got straight to the point. "Do you know all the plot?"

Shi Yu nodded. "I’m the original male lead, the first ‘son of fate.’"

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

What?! The 'son of fate' can be replaced?!

Shi Yu lowered his chin and sneered. "Since I awakened at seven, I’ve known all the plots. I knew Xia Xuechun would become my future wife. I secretly observed her and found that she had no redeeming qualities."

He leaned toward Qiao Chuchu, his voice filled with resentment toward fate. "I, Shi Yu, have always been perfect in everything—every exam full marks, striving to do my best in everything. Even buying a cat, I’d buy the best. But I’m destined to marry a woman who has no brains, who climbs over others to rise up, just because it’s fated? Why should I follow this fate?"

"Later, I started avoiding Xia Xuechun. Once, I was kidnapped, and she just happened to pass by. To avoid her rescuing me, I stayed silent in the trunk, dodging her rescue plot."

Qiao Chuchu was shocked. "You weren’t afraid of suffocating in there?"

Shi Yu scoffed. "My watch has GPS. I was going to be rescued, just sooner or later."

He slumped against his wheelchair, weary. "But since then, my fate was gone. My body started to weaken. This world is deliberately erasing me."

Qiao Chuchu calmly analyzed. "So, if you want to live, you need to keep being the male lead and reclaim the fate that Ji Yanchuan took away?"

Shi Yu nodded. "Yes."

She raised an eyebrow. "Then why don’t you go find Xia Xuechun?"

Shi Yu’s face turned pale with anger. "I would rather die than look for Xia Xuechun!"
