The Righteous Group’s Pet Suddenly Realizes: The Villain is Actually Me

Drawing open the curtains, the faint morning light filtered in.

Lian Hua sat on the edge of the bed, elegantly raising her foot.

In the hazy, clear light, the young girl’s snow-white, delicate feet were as tender and soft as freshly peeled eggs, or as fine and white as milk cream.

Her slender, beautiful legs were flawless overall, with evenly distributed and firm muscles, full and lustrous flesh in perfect proportion, and delicate snow-white skin that didn’t lack luster.

Lian Hua’s bare feet gracefully curved from the end of her calves along the instep, sliding to her dainty, round toes, with the back forming a crescent shape pressing against her round ankles.

The top of her feet were snow-white and delicate, with faint blue veins visible beneath the skin that was white to the point of transparency.

They were as crystalline and exquisite as art pieces in a glass display case.

This stunning view was soon covered by white silk stockings, but it wasn’t a pity.

Lian Hua gracefully put on her pantyhose, smoothing out the wrinkles on the surface. Her soft skin against the highly elastic stockings displayed an unusual fullness and plumpness, creating a different kind of charm.

Slightly stretching her instep, her round toes wrapped in white silk entered her shoes, and the white silk covering her faintly rosy nails shyly hid away.

Lian Hua swayed left and right in front of the mirror, looking at her carefully dressed self—appropriate attire, proper appearance—and smiled with satisfaction.

“This should be fine, right?”

This wasn’t for going out on a date or anything.

It was just preparation for a performance.

After all, presenting one’s best self to the audience is a basic practice for performers.

However, it might be a bit different for puppeteers.

If she herself was too eye-catching, wouldn’t it make the audience focus on her instead of watching the puppet’s movements?

It was a bit worrying when she thought about it.

“Well, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Anyway, she only had one audience member now, and she was also a cute girl, so she probably wouldn’t be like those boys who always stared at her impolitely during her performances.

Lian Hua swayed in front of the mirror again, muttering slightly.

“Is it a bit strange…?”

Dressing up so meticulously to meet a girl she had just recently met was indeed a bit strange.

People might think she was going on a date or something, and if her father saw this, he would definitely question her, right?

“Never mind, this is to better conquer the audience’s heart!”

With that said, Lian Hua left the room to wash up.

Today she still had to go learn knowledge, and she could go to the park to play after returning at noon.

The education system in this era had changed.

At least the time spent in school had greatly decreased, giving more time to cultivate other skills.

Apart from some necessary common knowledge, learning anything else depended on one’s own choice.

And Lian Hua hadn’t chosen those miscellaneous courses, so she always had a lot of time, with her afternoons almost entirely free.

Her father had already gone to work now.

After washing up, Lian Hua started eating breakfast.

That so-called stepmother was still watching TV in the living room, not going to work, seemingly a housewife.

After finishing breakfast, Lian Hua prepared to leave.

The stepmother glanced at Lian Hua, seeing her dressed so meticulously, and couldn’t help asking, “Why are you dressed up so nicely today? Are you going to play with some little boyfriend?”

Lian Hua replied flatly, “No, I’m leaving now.”

With that, Lian Hua left.

“Tch!”

The stepmother’s eyes grew increasingly disgusted, burning with anger.

“This stinking girl seems to be respecting me less and less. Does she not take me seriously? Damn it.”

Then the stepmother made a phone call to someone.

“Let’s put the plan on the agenda. I’ll provide you with her daily routes, and I’ll also tamper with all the alarm devices on her. When you act, do it quickly and cleanly, don’t leave any traces, and don’t let anyone suspect me.”

After saying this, the stepmother hung up the phone.

After calming her anger, a malicious smile curved her lips.

“Hehe, just you wait. You’ll be crying soon enough. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being that woman’s daughter.”

……

Ye Xing woke up after nine in the morning.

After a simple wash-up, she went out for breakfast.

However, just after walking a short distance, she saw a familiar figure.

It was a rather handsome young man with black hair, maintaining a gentle smile on his face, like a friendly neighborhood brother.

“Eh? Eh eh?”

Ye Xing immediately had question marks popping up over her head.

Wasn’t this her good neighbor Mo Tu?

Why was he appearing here?

Was this not Shanghe City, but Yunzhang City?

If she wasn’t sure about the situation, Ye Xing would have thought she had returned to the normal timeline.

No, perhaps Mo Tu lived in Shanghe City in this timeline.

Maybe he moved to the neighboring Yunzhang City a year later.

But encountering him now was too coincidental no matter how you looked at it.

“Is this what they call fate? I’ve witnessed it.”

Ye Xing originally wanted to go over and greet him, but quickly remembered that the current Mo Tu might not know her.

“Never mind, I’ll go have breakfast first.”

Just as Ye Xing was about to turn and leave, she found that Mo Tu seemed to have noticed her.

“Hmm? Was I discovered?”

It seemed that her gaze just now was too obvious.

However, to Ye Xing’s surprise, Mo Tu actually walked towards her.

Ye Xing: “??”

While Ye Xing was confused, Mo Tu, with a smile on his face, had already come in front of her.

“Hello, little sister. May I ask you a question?”

“Ah… um, sure, please go ahead…”

Ye Xing stammered a bit but quickly regained her composure.

Although she didn’t dislike this future neighbor, they were still strangers now, so it was better to maintain some distance.

She thought he would probably just ask some simple questions?

“May I ask… do you know me?”

“Eh?” Ye Xing was stunned again.

Why would Mo Tu think she knew him?

Was it just because of her gaze earlier?

Goodness, what terrifying observational skills!

Ye Xing suddenly felt that this future neighbor might have a talent for being a detective.

But knowing was one thing, she wouldn’t admit it anyway.

“I don’t know you.”

“I see.”

Mo Tu smiled slightly, not pursuing the matter further, and said, “By the way, this is my first time coming to this city on a business trip, and I’m not familiar with the situation here. I’m temporarily staying here now. You should be very familiar with this place, right?”

Ye Xing looked at the building behind Mo Tu and suddenly wanted to make a sarcastic comment.

Good grief, it wasn’t far from where she lived, just about ten meters away.

She didn’t expect that in this timeline, Mo Tu would also become her neighbor?

How curious.

Ye Xing replied, “No, I’ve only been here for a short time and don’t know much…”

“I see.”

After answering, Ye Xing wanted to leave.

Her stomach was a bit hungry now, and she needed to quickly go eat something to fill her belly. She didn’t want to engage in any polite conversation here.

Social interactions were sometimes so annoying.

“Well… I’ll be going now.”

“Alright, goodbye.”

After receiving a response, Ye Xing turned and left.

Mo Tu quietly watched her departing figure, unconsciously rubbing his chin.

“It seems she knows me. Interesting.”
