Rebirth and Revenge: The Young Lady is Actually a Top Killer

"Maybe you don't believe it, but every time and space has its own established rules."

"In this time and space, no matter how many times you come back, you are destined to become 'Jiang Siye'. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

"Once you don't show up, the order of this time and space will be disrupted, causing many things that I and that kid can't predict even if we have memories."

"Only when you come, the chaotic order will slowly return to normal."

"And Zhou Shiyan didn't tell you that you in this life actually arrived a whole month late."

"I don't know why that brat can't... No, it shouldn't be possible."

"He can't interfere with cause and effect, and he has no ability to interfere with cause and effect. Facing the daughter of his mother's best friend, even if it's to 'kill with a borrowed knife', he simply can't do it."

"Perhaps it was by chance that I ended up becoming the 'knife'."

"After the accident in my previous life, a young but strange woman found me in a world of pure white nothingness."

"The mission she gave me was to 'kill' Miss Jiang and get you back to this time and space. This is the only way to correct the disordered order until the day when time and space are repaired autonomously."

"I don't know what she means by 'restoration of time and space'. What will happen when the time and space restoration is completed?"

"But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself back in mid-October... I finally believed that she didn't lie to me."

"If it weren't for the disorder, Yue, you should have come back a month ago."

……

"Ayue, why did you come back so late? I called you but you didn't answer. Was there a traffic jam on the way?"

The hands of the clock on the living room wall stood straight up - it was already six o'clock in the evening.

The elevator door opened with a ding. Zhou Shiyan quickly turned on the low heat, closed the lid on the stew pot, walked quickly to the corner of the kitchen, leaned over the wall, stuck his head out and asked.

"…Well, I was stuck on the elevated road for a while, and my phone accidentally went silent."

Wen Jing's confession before he left was still ringing in his ears. Hearing similar words again, Jiang Siyue couldn't help but be stunned for half a second.

But she quickly adjusted herself, forced a fairly natural smile, and walked towards him: "Sorry, I'm late."

It was clearly a normal apology for “breaking the appointment”, but Zhou Shiyan suddenly froze.

"...It's not too late." He followed Jiang Siyue closely with his eyes, and the ending of each word was tinged with an almost inaudible tremor. "During the rush hour traffic jam, half an hour is fast enough."

"Yeah, you're right." When approaching him, Jiang Siyue deliberately avoided his sight.

Then he walked to the dining table seemingly casually, picked up the rabbit apple on the plate and took a bite: "I didn't notice it at lunch, your knife skills are pretty good."

Zhou Shiyan leaned against the wall and saw that she was acting comfortable and emotionally stable, and she could even praise herself sincerely...

She definitely knew something, Zhou Shiyan thought for sure.

"Ayue..."

"Huh? Where's Potato?" Unfortunately, Jiang Siyue looked around and found that the house was unusually quiet, so she took the initiative to snatch his right to speak.

"Usually he would be the first one to rush out to greet someone who came back. Why is he gone today?"

In fact, her meaning was very clear - there was something, but she didn't want to mention it now.

Zhou Shiyan looked at her in silence for a moment, and had no choice but to change the subject, answering obediently: "Didn't a new pet mall open in the city center yesterday?"

"But my mom insisted that the mall has a rule that pets are not allowed in, so Potato was 'robbed' by her personally an hour ago."

"..." Jiang Siyue looked at Zhou Shiyan with a look of "Isn't this nonsense?", "Auntie always lies to dogs like this...Is she lying to you?"

Zhou Shiyan silently chanted "Don't laugh, you dead mouth" while sighing and walking back to the stew pot, and scooped out the stewed beef soup: "Yeah~"

"I can't help it. My mom just likes small animals."

Jiang Siyue hadn't realized what Zhou Shiyan was doing yet, so she pulled out the dining chair, sat down with her legs spread wide, and forked up another apple: "Why don't you raise one yourself?"

"Not every dog ​​can catch fish like Potato can..."

After hearing this, Zhou Shiyan couldn't hold it in anymore, and his hands scooping the soup began to shake with laughter: "No, no, no, that's not the reason."

He covered the bowl with the lid and walked towards the dining table holding the bowl by its handle: "Actually, at the end of the year I was born, my family had a dog."

"It's a three-month-old Border Collie named Five Million."

Seeing him put the soup bowl on the table, Jiang Siyue finally realized that there was something even more wrong at home besides the absence of potatoes -

Where is Mrs. Wu???

But maybe the apples are too delicious, the beef soup is too fragrant, the puppy's name "Five Million" is too attractive, etc...

Jiang Siyue swallowed the apple in his mouth at the speed of light. He opened the lid of the bowl and was intoxicated by the fragrance. He had to try hard to maintain his image and asked, "Five million? Did Auntie give this name?"

"Yes." Zhou Shiyan pretended that he saw nothing, turned back to another wok, poured out the cooked fish fillets, heated oil in a small pot, washed his hands and prepared to put dried chilies in the fish bowl.

Behind him, Jiang Siyue closed the lid of the bowl with a snap, rushed forward and picked up the bowl of chili peppers: "I'll do it, I'll do it, you continue."

Seeing this, Zhou Shiyan immediately grabbed the edge of the bowl on the other side with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Ayue, you haven't washed your hands yet."

"Who said that?" Jiang Siyue immediately retorted righteously, "I came up after washing my hands in the tea room downstairs!"

After saying that, she slapped Zhou Shiyan's hand away in great displeasure and ordered, "Give me the plate of green onions."

"Okay, okay~" Young Master Zhou didn't dare to question his wife at all, so he had to do as he was told.

By the time Jiang Siyue finished adding the ingredients, the oil was heated.

"Ayue, come closer, so that the water doesn't splash on your clothes." Zhou Shiyan picked up the small pot and reached out to pull her in the opposite direction.

Jiang Siyue took the opportunity to retreat.

Seeing him put down the pot after pouring the oil, he continued the previous topic and asked, "You haven't finished talking yet, what happened to the five million?"

"Well...what happened next..." Zhou Shiyan returned to the restaurant again, holding the two little ears on the edge of the bowl.

Jiang Siyue quickly caught up and heard him say, "When Wubaiwan first came home, I was less than nine months old and hadn't learned to walk yet. But our mother was obviously much closer to her than to me."

"At least every day when she wakes up, she looks for 5 million first, and then comes to see what my cheap son is doing."

"Especially when I was four years old!" Zhou Shiyan gently put down the boiled fish and emphasized this sentence, "My family secretly conspired while I was sleeping, and the next day they packed me up and 'threw' me to Mellia."

"From then on, our mother finally got her wish and made Wuwanwan her 'only daughter'."

Jiang Siyue couldn't help but stuff a rabbit apple into his mouth to show sympathy: "So Her Majesty wanted to 'establish a princess', so she sent you, the 'wasted prince' away."

"Ah, if possible, I really hope that the five million can 'inherit the throne'." The Crown Prince, who had taken advantage of the situation, ate the apple fed by the Crown Princess herself, but he still felt heavy-hearted.

"...Five million is sick?"

As a veteran pet owner, Jiang Siyue certainly understands the same problem that every pet owner will eventually face - separation.

Zhou Shiyan nodded as expected: "...After Wubaiwan's fourteenth birthday, his health condition became worse and worse."

"By the time I was sixteen, I was completely blind. Not long after, my limbs also started to become paralyzed."

"She has always been very smart, so she knows better than anyone how her body is changing."

"...She can't accept it, right?" Jiang Siyue sat back in his seat and asked, supporting his head with one hand.

"Well," Zhou Shiyan sighed sadly and walked to the disinfection cabinet to get dishes and chopsticks, "She couldn't accept it, so she started to refuse to eat or drink, because she really didn't want to continue living in such pain."

"Since five million has already done this, even though my parents are reluctant, we still decided to respect her and take her to the grave."

"After that, my mother never kept a pet again because she could never get over the inevitable separation in the future."

"So, Ah Yue, you must not be fooled by Ms. Xie's appearance."

At this point, Zhou Shiyan turned on the rice cooker and suddenly changed the subject: "Although she usually always looks like 'I'm the best in the world', when it comes to something like this, my mother is often more vulnerable than anyone else."

"Even when the electronic pet she raised with Aunt Liu died, she cried for two hours on video chat."

"...It sounds like your mother is quite cute too." Jiang Siyue stared at his back, and her expression, which had been calm for a long time, finally showed a ripple.

"What about you?" She then asked suddenly, "What were you thinking about the day you went to Yushu's shop and got drunk?"
