Chapter 7: Black Butterfly

  At night, Mu You returned home and went straight back to her room. She threw her school bag onto the bed and fell backwards onto it.

  The first day of school really exhausted her, not physically, but mentally.

  Let's not talk about the transfer student and Zhao Hong for now. Just dealing with the classmates' one after another concerns, it had already made her nervous all morning, afraid that she couldn't remember some people's names. Secondly, she had to bear the glances from the class after what happened with Zhao Hong, especially Cheng Ling, who almost dissected her alive!

  Someone who was so gentle and docile the last time they met suddenly became so overbearing, it's likely that anyone would be suspicious.

  But she can't back down! From the moment she woke up again, the past Muyou had already died. Now, if she's still the same as before, then what's the point of this rebirth?

  Forget it, after a long time, everyone will get used to it!

  She rubbed her somewhat disordered head, and slowly got out of bed. She opened the door to take a look around, and after estimating that no one would come looking for her for a while, she locked the door again.

  Then, Yu Rou quickly tore off the gauze on her left hand at an incredible speed. What was even more astonishing was that her fractured left hand could move freely, roll up her sleeves, and there was no trace of scars!

  But Mu You didn't stop moving, instead he continued to lift his sleeve up until it reached the top of his arm, where a black swallowtail butterfly was perched, fluttering as if about to fly, vivid and lifelike.

  Gently stroking the pattern, Mu You let out a soft and melancholic sigh.

  Since she privately disassembled the fabric for the first time, she unexpectedly discovered this pattern. The first pattern was not a partially unfolded shape, but a completely closed pair of wings.

  That is to say, this pattern is changing day by day, and it is precisely because of this that Mu You's injury healed completely within a month.

  But for Mu Yu, who had already been reborn once, this was no longer anything that could surprise her. What had been frustrating her all along was that the Black Butterfly, apart from helping her quickly recover from her injuries at first, hadn't appeared again in any other situation.

  Thinking of this, Mu Yu looked at Hei Die again and wanted to use a piece of gauze to "disguise" her arm. But just one glance made her body freeze, because she saw the blurry figure of a little boy in it.

  She closed her eyes, then looked at the black butterfly again, and the result was still the same! In the gap where the black swallowtail slightly spread its wings, a little boy was smiling at her with a happy face.

  "Hehe, this isn't an illusion! I really exist! Right inside your body!" The boy's soft voice echoed in Muyou's heart, as if explaining her doubts.

  "Who... who are you? Why did you appear in my body? Is my rebirth related to you?" After the initial shock, a wave of questions flooded in, and Mu Yu asked coldly, as the image of the little boy gradually became clearer.

  This is a delicate-looking child, with a head of black hair covering some of the skin on his forehead, a pretty nose and tender lips. Especially those eyes, blinking like the brightest stars in the sky, illuminating the deepest darkness in people's hearts. The eyelashes are long and slender, matching the wings of butterflies, strange yet harmonious.

  "Hmm..." The little boy heard Mu You's question, tilted his head to one side, as if thinking about something, and eventually scrunched up his entire face.

  "I don't know why I'm in your body either! And what's with this rebirth thing? Is it fun?" After a long time, the little boy finally spat out a sentence that almost made Mu You collapse.

  Muyou's face had indeed darkened by half, but given the extremely cute face in front of her, she couldn't bear to speak harshly and could only ask patiently: "Then you at least know your own name, right?"

  "Ah, I have a name, and it sounds great! My name is Chen Zirui!" The little boy replied proudly.

  Now, Mu You's face was thoroughly blackened. She even suspected that the little boy in front of her was deliberately exposing her scars. Chen Zirui, the only person she trusted and relied on besides her brother in her previous life, had given her a ruthless stab at her most helpless moment, making her heart ache!

  When he saw Mu You ignoring him, the little boy became anxious and suddenly flew out from her arm with a "whoosh" sound, and the butterfly pattern also disappeared as he left.

  "Youyou, what's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?" The boy flapped his black wings somewhat awkwardly and flew in front of Muyou, his eyes filled with confusion and innocence.

  He cast a cold glance at the little boy and somewhat irritably grasped his hand, saying: "Speak up, what's your name?!"

  With a "plop", a tear dropped from the boy's eye, and he blinked his eyes in grievance, crying out: "You're so mean, You bully people... Waaah, my name is Chen Zirui... Waaah, you don't like me..."

  Moyou clearly felt three black lines appearing on the back of his head... This kid is also too easy to be wronged, right?

  Carefully prying open the small wings covering Chen Zirui's body, Mu Yu comforted him weakly, "Alright, I believe you, okay? It's just that, Xiao Zirui, can you change your name? This name, I really don't like it."

  The crying sound stopped abruptly, and "Chen Zirui" suddenly broke free from Yu's hand and flew into the air, his eyes shining with excitement as he said: "Yu, are you going to help me get a new name? Great! I want a more pleasant-sounding one!" After speaking, he looked at her with sparkling eyes full of expectation.

  For some reason, seeing this scene, a very vicious idea emerged in Mu You's heart, but a very kind smile was drawn on his mouth. In "Chen Zirui"'s shining eyes, he said softly: "Then you can call... Orange!"

  "Orange this name is really..." "Chen Zirui" didn't react for a moment, and then he was about to cheer, but only halfway through did he realize something was off. He suddenly hung his head down, staring at Mu You with a resentful expression, his mouth pouting, and his eyes welling up with tears again.

  "Look at this orange, what a great name! It's both intimate and easy to remember, and you can even eat it! Isn't that good?" Mu You smiled with a gentle face, but the response she got was a cold hum.

  Ignoring his dissatisfaction, Mu You still asked kindly: "Orange, was it your doing that my injury healed so quickly? Thank you so much!"

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. This little thing is no big deal, I'll do many more things for you!" As soon as Mu You expressed her gratitude, Cheng Zi suddenly came back to life, with a proud face, completely unaware of the cunning glint in Mu You's eyes when she heard these words.

  "What... else can you do, little orange?"
