Chapter 1041 The Reborn Young Master’s Pampered Cousin (39)

An image appeared in Qi Chimu’s mind.
A beautiful girl carrying a meal box, striding across the snowy path, her skirt flying up as she hurried to him.
This feeling of being thought of by someone else…
【Ding, male lead’s favorability: 10.】
Qi Chimu’s face flushed red. How could he suddenly conceive such a shameful image?
He was too idle lately.
He sighed, then ate the food.
Not a moment after eating, his stomach ached, and he immediately pushed open the door to run to the latrine.
From the beginning he hadn’t thought there was a problem with the food.
As a result of an entire night of emptying his bowels, his entire body collapsed from exhaustion.
Only then did he realize that Bai Weiwei had put croton seeds1 in his food.
He spoke in a weak but ruthless voice. “Bai Weiwei, you venomous woman.”
【Ding, male lead’s favorability: 7, decreased by 3.】
This many croton seeds was enough to kill him.
Bai Weiwei saw that her croton seed mini task was complete.
She only felt that her future was dark.
“Useless system, tell me, when do you think the side task will end?”
The system, in the middle of reviewing techniques to trash-talk its host, reflexively responded, “It is endless and infinite. The world is a circle, there is no end.”
Bai Weiwei: “What?”
System: “Accept your fate ba. It’s impossible to stop bullying, you can’t stop for an entire lifetime. You’re headed for a negative 100. Do you have the brain to learn what strategy to play?”
“Brainless” Bai Weiwei: “…”
Did her scumbag system have a virus?
Should she spend some life points to reformat it?
On the fifth day, Qi Chimu’s face was somewhat pale as he lay on the haystack.
She still hadn’t come.
She still thought she could get away unscathed after messing with him?
Qi Chimu was frightfully pale as he sneered.
Halfway through laughing, he clutched his abdomen. Emptying his bowels had pulled his muscles.
Truly a nightmare.
The sixth day, the Bai family began to prepare for the Lantern Festival.
Bai Weiwei leisurely read a book. A maid opened the window, revealing a snowy garden.
Suddenly, the maid came over and told her in a low voice, “Young Master Qi is here.”
During this period of time, Bai Weiwei’s softened attitude towards Qi Chimu had influenced the maid.
Although she locked up Qi Chimu, she forbade others from going to bully him.
So the maid did not dare to straightforwardly address him as Qi Chimu.
Instead, she called him Young Master as per the rules.
Originally, Qi Chimu’s identity was that of a young master.
Bai Weiwei recalled her croton seed mini task and guessed that Qi Chimu was thinking of how to give her a death by a thousand cuts.
She could only helplessly put on a stiff expression, then say, “Let him in ba.”
Qi Chimu entered. The youth had already grown to be tall. It seemed like a frail body, but it was as straight and graceful as a pine tree.
His black eyes were like water, deep and carrying a gentle light.
It was only when looking at her that the chill in his eyes was like that of a viper’s, making one shudder.
He smiled softly. “I came to help biao mei get dressed.”
He who comes had ill intentions2.
Bai Weiwei spat out, “No need.”
But Qi Chimu dragged her over and pressed her down in front of the dressing table, giving her no time to refuse.
Why is biao mei being so polite to me? I missed biao mei very much.”
Bai Weiwei’s expression grew stiff. Her fingers curled nervously, seeming to recall those croton seeds.
Qi Chimu saw her nervousness, and his smile grew deeper.
Suddenly, the sound of an old woman’s chattering came in from outside the window. “Aiya, did you know, recently people in the estate have been saying that it seems there’s someone who was brought in as the wrong child.”
“That’s right ah, don’t know who was so muddle headed and brought back the wrong child.”
“…”
The old woman was just casually gossiping as she passed by.
But Bai Weiwei’s face turned pale.
The voice was very gentle, but the words were extremely vicious.
“Biao mei, do you know who that wrong child is? Would you like me to continue to spread it out, let everyone know?”
His revenge came quickly and ruthlessly.
Bai Weiwei stiffened. Finally, she said shakily, “No.”
“Begging me now, it’s not so simple. Do you think I’m so easy to coax?”
Bai Weiwei, eager to beg for mercy, opened her mouth. Suddenly, she stopped.
He had accidentally inserted his finger into her lips.
Anxious, Bai Weiwei closed her lips again, capturing it.
The moist and warm sensation shocked both people at the same time.
Qi Chimu froze for a moment. A blush spread from behind his ears and rose to his face.
