The next morning.
Qiao Chuchu stared at Pei Buxian.

Pei Buxian, holding the West Highland Terrier he raised, stared out the window in a daze.
Pei Buxian's skin was very fair, so the dark circles around his eyes were particularly noticeable, resembling panda eyes, which was quite comical.

Qiao Chuchu hesitated for a moment before she couldn’t resist asking, “Seventh Brother, did you let someone beat you up?”
Pei Buxian finally glanced at her.

It was exactly eight in the morning, and her brothers were coming out of their rooms one by one to have breakfast.
Each of them was dressed in a suit, looking handsome and walking with confidence.

Hearing Qiao Chuchu’s question, they froze for a moment and then glared at Pei Buxian.
Pei Buxian, dressed in loungewear and holding a dog, responded slowly, “Yeah, my brothers hit me.”

Qiao Chuchu was shocked. “Why?”
Pei Buxian calmly complained, “Because I wanted to stand next to a girl and watch her sleep, but they didn’t allow it.”
Qiao Chuchu: “?”

Pei Buxian sighed, “Don’t you think my brothers are being too unreasonable?”
Qiao Chuchu twitched her lips and looked at the six men who were clearly unhappy.

The six men sat down in their respective seats, glaring at her as if daring her to agree with Pei Buxian, ready to beat her up too.
Qiao Chuchu: “……”

[Maybe I should organize the plot of what will happen next.]
The seven men: “?”
They eagerly listened!

Qiao Chuchu leaned back in her chair, thinking.
Although this world was real, she had treated it as a novel for so long that she was still accustomed to organizing the plot like she did with stories, which made it clearer.

She secretly moved her finger on the table: [The story starts after I die, when my brothers' personalities change dramatically, and they suffer a heavy blow. At this point, the female lead enters their lives, and not only do they fall in love at first sight, but she also gradually heals them and makes them develop possessiveness.]

Qiao Chuchu paused and thought something was wrong: [Wait, yesterday my brothers already met Xia Xue Chun. Did they fall in love at first sight?]

The seven men: “……”
Did they look like they had fallen in love at first sight?

Pei Youchuan picked up his phone. “Ahem!!”
The six men looked at him.

Pei Youchuan shook his phone.
They understood immediately, opened their phones, and received a notification.

【Pei Youchuan invites you to join a group chat.】

Pei Youchuan: “What’s more fun than listening to Qiao Chuchu’s thoughts while chatting in a group?”
Pei Buxian: “Sprinkle chili powder in your coffee.”

Pei Youchuan immediately spat out his coffee!!

Pei Yuan: “Quiet, Qiao Chuchu’s looking this way.”
They all turned to look at Qiao Chuchu.

Qiao Chuchu gave Pei Youchuan a strange look.
Pei Youchuan picked up a tissue to wipe the coffee off the table, then casually looked at Pei Buxian.

Pei Buxian sweetly smiled at him.
Qiao Chuchu: 【…Is it just me, or do I feel like they’re hiding something from me?】

They nervously tightened up and pretended to look normal as they stared at their phones.

Qiao Chuchu, too lazy to think further, turned her head to look out the window: 【Although there are seven brothers with seven love interests, the death timelines are quite close to each other. If I want to change the situation, I should nip their romantic relationships in the bud, that way they won’t die, right?】

Pei Yuan typed in the group: “The moment we saw Xia Xue Chun, the so-called ‘falling in love at first sight’ was already killed off.”
Pei Che: “How come Qiao Chuchu hasn’t noticed that we’re not interested in Xia Xue Chun?”

Pei Ci: “Ha, Qiao Chuchu’s brain hasn’t even grown as big as a macadamia nut, how do you expect her to notice anything?”
Pei Mu: “She can’t even do simple multiplication and division!”

Pei Feng: “Yet she wants to protect us.”
Pei Youchuan: “…And it’s kind of touching?”

Pei Buxian: “But isn’t it because if we die, she’ll be affected too, so that’s why she wants to protect us?”
The other six: “?”
