After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Let You Experience What is Called the Fear of Death

In the dark room, the tone of the girl beside her ear was as cold as eternal ice, making one’s hair stand on end.

And at the moment she heard the voice, Lu Qianrou’s whole body’s hairs stood up, and her eyeballs almost popped out in fright.

Is this... Is this Lu Sheng’s voice??

Wasn’t she already suffocated to death by her own hands?! How could she suddenly appear in her room??

"Ugh... Wuu wuu!!"

The hand that was choking her neck was getting stronger.

The intense sense of suffocation had already started depriving Lu Qianrou’s brain of oxygen, her vision blurred, unable to think, only able to struggle instinctively.

However, she couldn’t resist or break free at all; within a few seconds, her vision darkened, and her body began to convulse uncontrollably.

She was going to die!

She was going to be strangled to death by Lu Sheng!!

For the first time, Lu Qianrou truly felt what it meant to fear death; her eyeballs were about to burst from the increased pressure.

However, at this moment, the grip on her neck was suddenly and unexpectedly released.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Climbing back from the brink of death, Lu Qianrou, looking miserable, covered her neck, gasping for air, and coughing violently.

But before she could catch her breath, the next second, she was suddenly pulled up from the bed by her arm.

The girl, with a bone-chilling coldness in her eyes, flung her harshly against the wall with a loud bang.

"Ah—!"

Lu Qianrou felt like her bones were going to break.

She tried to scream, but because her neck had just been tightly choked, her voice was now hoarse.

Her head, neck, and every part of her body was in pain, but she didn’t even have the energy to care about that, because the ghost-like terrifying girl was already walking towards her, coming up to her face.

Lu Qianrou was truly terrified to the point of crying.

Ignoring her bodily pains, she instinctively retreated, tightly pressing herself against the cold wall, trembling like a sieve, her face full of horror as she looked at the person in front of her.

Could a human girl really possess such strength and have such a look in her eyes?

The cold white moonlight shone through the window onto the girl’s face, her gaze fierce and cold like a lioness in the jungle, sending shivers down one’s spine.

She even had a feeling... that the person in front of her wasn’t human at all! Not like a human at all!

Lu Sheng slowly crouched down in front of Lu Qianrou.

"Killing me the first time didn’t succeed, yet you dare to try a second time, I really underestimated the ugliness and jealousy of humans."

"You should really be glad that I can’t kill now, otherwise, at this moment, you would have been a pile of mush in front of me."

The girl spoke emotionlessly, but her words sent chills down one’s spine.

Lu Qianrou took a deep breath, and the next second, she was terrified to discover that the person’s eyes in front of her had turned red!

Lu Sheng’s pupils showed a blood-thirsty deep red, and within the depths of her pupils, a rose mark emerged, seductive, beautiful yet incredibly eerie.

Is this a human or a ghost?? Lu Qianrou’s eyes widened, feeling her heart skip a beat, she fainted on the spot.

Seeing Lu Qianrou faint, Lu Sheng then straightened up.

Black Bean appeared from the darkness, meowed, and jumped into her arms, rubbing its head against her collarbone, looking a bit revived.

"...Stupid humans."

Lu Sheng coldly glanced once at Lu Qianrou, who had fainted by the wall.

She held a cat in one arm and with the other, she picked up Lu Qianrou, tossing her back onto the bed like a wiping rag.

She failed to control her anger and accidentally revealed her true form, and it would be hard to explain to the Lu Family why she had choked Lu Qianrou like that.

Lu Sheng frowned, a look of disgust hidden in her eyes as she pressed down on Lu Qianrou’s head, erasing the marks on her neck and the memory from earlier.

Only then did she go back to the first floor room, holding Black Bean.

—

The next day.

When Lu Qianrou woke up, she felt as if she had been run over by a truck, her body aching as if she was about to die.

The next moment, Lu Qianrou suddenly thought of something.

She remembered that she smothered Lu Sheng to death with a towel in the cellar last night, then called the "Cleaner" to take the body to Chaotic Burial Mound, and after that, she went back to sleep.

But she also vaguely remembered that Lu Sheng suddenly appeared by her bed last night, choking her almost to death and then throwing her to the ground.

And then... she couldn’t remember anything else.

Was that a dream or reality??

If it was reality, why weren’t there any marks on her neck or body? And since Lu Sheng was already dead, how could she possibly appear in her room at night?

But if it was a dream, why did her neck and body ache so much, feeling like someone had severely choked and thrown her? Could it be sleep paralysis??

Lu Qianrou couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Forget it, let’s not think too much!

Today was the day of the big piano contest, and with that annoying Lu Sheng gone, tonight would be her moment.

Thinking of tonight’s contest, Lu Qianrou immediately got excited again, enduring the pain and hurriedly got out of bed to wash up, then happily went downstairs to prepare to go to school.

However, as soon as she reached the living room, she froze on the spot.

At the entrance, Lu Youye was squatting on the ground tying Lu Sheng’s black leather shoe laces, asking considerately if it was too loose or if she needed it tighter.

And the tall figure in a striped suit, Lu Jingyan, stood next to Lu Sheng, his steady eyes looking at her with satisfaction, and he adjusted her tie.

"Tonight is a nationwide piano competition, it’s even globally broadcasted, do you really plan to wear your school uniform, or should big brother prepare an evening gown for you?"

Lu Sheng shook her head, her tone gentle, "No need, big brother, it’s a piano contest, not a beauty pageant, what I wear doesn’t matter."

"Exactly," Lu Youye stood up, unable to resist hugging Lu Sheng and rubbing against her, "Our Shengsheng is so pretty, she looks better in her school uniform without makeup than those girls dressed up in evening gowns."

This is... Lu Sheng??

Lu Qianrou looked at the scene before her in disbelief.

She had clearly smothered her to death last night and watched as others took her body away.

Why is she standing in the living room now, acting as if nothing happened?!

Could it be... that being choked nearly to death last night wasn’t a dream, but reality??

At that moment, the girl seemed to feel someone watching her.

Her eyes suddenly looked in this direction, lightly saying, "Ah, little sister is up."

Lu Sheng’s gaze was mocking, but the smile did not reach her eyes, only a chill lingered.

"It’s such an honor to have the chance to participate in the piano contest with my little sister."

"Don’t worry, little sister, I will give my all in tonight’s performance, I won’t let you down."
