Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 33

Su Yu paused, smiling as she looked up. “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

She had never hidden the fact that she was an orphan.

Bai Luo bit her lip. “But you’ve never worked part-time or anything; you even have living expenses.”

The smile on Su Yu’s lips faded a little. “What do you want to say?”

Bai Luo lowered her head, her thick black-rimmed glasses hiding the emotions in her eyes. Her hands, hanging at her sides, curled up slightly as she nervously swallowed.

Such a timid person, yet she was saying things like this.

“Are you asking where my money comes from?” Su Yu proactively answered for her.

After a long silence, Bai Luo nodded quietly.

Su Yu smiled gently, brushing her hair behind her ear, not shying away from the topic. 

“Huaizhi said that working part-time in college is too tough for me. He doesn’t want me to struggle, so he earns the living expenses for me.”

When a boy says he supports you, it could just be sweet talk, but Huaizhi put his words into action, regularly sending money to Su Yu every month. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a pure love warrior.

Who would have thought that the well-known school idol from the computer science department was actually a hidden romantic?

Bai Luo suddenly looked up in disbelief: “Did he really say that?”

Su Yu raised an eyebrow: “Do you think I’m lying to you?”

Bai Luo pursed her lips: “But… his family is struggling too. How can you bear to take his money?”

Su Yu’s smile was gentle: “If he’s willing to give it, why can’t I accept it?”

In a daze, Bai Luo sensed mockery and irony in her tone, only to have it immediately replaced by Su Yu’s usual soft demeanor.

Was that how she managed to deceive Huaizhi?

For some reason, Bai Luo had an instinctive aversion to Su Yu when she first saw her at the beginning of the semester. It was like a gut feeling that Su Yu was cunning and adept at pretending.

She quickly walked down the stairs.

Once outside the dormitory building, Huaizhi stood waiting, occasionally checking his phone. With his clear features and gentle demeanor, he attracted the attention of passers-by.

As soon as Su Yu saw him, her smile grew warmer. “Huaizhi.”

Qi Huaizhi, exuding a cool aura like melting snow, smiled gently as he took her bag.

“Have you been waiting long?” Su Yu asked.

Huaizhi shook his head: “Not for long.”

Bai Luo stood aside, watching the two share a connection that left her feeling excluded. Even though she were running late, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from them, as if it were a form of self-torture.

Perhaps sensing her undeniable gaze, Huaizhi briefly shifted his focus from Su Yu.

“Luo Luo?”

Huaizhi recognized Bai Luo and knew she shared a dorm with Su Yu.

Bai Luo’s eyes brightened as she stepped forward, standing between them: “Huaizhi…”

“Huaizhi, don’t interrupt Luo Luo. She has a part-time job to get to; if she delays, she’ll be late.” Su Yu kindly interrupted them.

Huaizhi had no intention of reminiscing, and upon hearing Su Yu, he nodded: “Then hurry, Luo Luo.”

After saying this, he wrapped his arm around Su Yu and left.

Bai Luo’s cheerful expression froze.

The gaze from behind felt almost tangible, as if it were trying to pierce through Su Yu.

Su Yu lowered her eyes, suspiciously thinking: 【Is Bai Luo really the female lead?】

While the previous world’s Shen Qingqing was a bit rough around the edges, she at least had beauty and a good family background. In contrast, Bai Luo in this world… well, her personality was awkward, and her appearance was overshadowed by large black-framed glasses, making her seem like an utterly ordinary girl.

I can handle this!

The system raised its hand: 【The host is unaware; the female lead’s shining moment comes later. After joining the male lead’s team, she’ll immediately take off her glasses and transform into a glamorous strong woman. By that time, the original character will have long since disappeared, so it’s normal not to have any impressions】.

Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.

The two of them walked slowly, almost as if they were taking a stroll, very close together. The innocent love of student days was always particularly pure.

Their fingers brushed lightly before they intertwined, fingers locked together.

Qi Huaizhi glanced at the girl beside him, as a gentle breeze tousled her hair, and a faint floral scent circled at his nose, inadvertently softening his expression.

If anyone asked where they were going for dinner—

—It was the school cafeteria.

Su Yu sighed: 【What a simple love.】

The system comforted her: 【Host, just hold on a bit. Once you kick the male lead to the curb and throw yourself into a rich heir’s arms, you can eat delicious foods and drink spicy drinks】

Su Yu frowned: 【What kind of talk is that? Am I that kind of person? When is the rich heir going to show up?】

The system fell silent: 【…】

The rich heir appeared.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, a boy approached them.

He was quite tall, matching Huaizhi, and dressed in brand-name clothes. His meticulously styled hair accentuated his handsome features, exuding an air of a wealthy young master.

Upon seeing Su Yu, his eyes lit up, and he wore a charming smirk that was a little cheeky yet undeniably attractive.

“Su Yu, did you like that bouquet?”

He ignored Qi Huaizhi beside him and warmly asked Su Yu.

This was the person who had sent her the roses.

Su Yu gave him a gentle smile. “I loved it, thank you for the flowers, Li Heng.”

Li Heng’s eyes sparkled. “Of course! Next time, I’ll buy you more… if I get too many again, I’ll just give them to you.”

As he remembered his previous words, he quickly corrected himself.

Meanwhile, Qi Huaizhi was completely ignored.

Su Yu, wanting to be fair, finished speaking with Li Heng and then took the initiative to link arms with Qi Huaizhi, playfully winking at him to reassure him: “Huaizhi, let’s hurry up, or all my favorite dishes will be snatched away.”

The emotions swirling in Huaizhi’s heart were instantly calmed.

The system clicked its tongue: 【Host, it’s such a shame that you only have one boyfriend.】

Su Yu tossed her hair: 【What do you mean?】

System: 【It’s a waste for a master of pouring water not to become a sea king. [1]】

Su Yu:【 …Thanks for the compliment.】

Watching their retreating figures, Li Heng asked begrudgingly, “Su Yu, do you like steak? I know a great place that serves delicious steak; I’ll treat you next time!”

What was the point of dating a poor guy? Choosing to meet in such a lowly place like the cafeteria? Aside from being somewhat good-looking and studying well, what else was there to like about him?

Li Heng thought he was decent-looking, but more importantly, he had money.

Su Yu didn’t respond, but Qi Huaizhi stopped in his tracks.

Su Yu looked at him, puzzled: “Huaizhi?”

Qi Huaizhi glanced at her reassuringly, then turned around with a cold expression, a layer of frost settling in his eyes.

He said coldly: “My classmate, steak is too heavy. You can keep it for yourself.”

After speaking, he ignored Li Heng’s darkening expression and took Su Yu’s hand, walking away.

Once they were a bit farther away, he lowered his head and softly asked, “Do you like steak? If you do, I’ll take you to eat it tomorrow.”

Su Yu laughed, her lips forming a shallow dimple on the corner of her mouth: “Didn’t you just say steak is too heavy?”

Qi Huaizhi lowered his eyes and glanced at her seriously. “What can I do? It’s not my fault my girlfriend is too popular.”

Su Yu’s eyes sparkled, her dimple deepening.

“But tomorrow won’t work. I have a part-time job after class. My roommate recommended it.”

【Looks like sister is going to hook up with another rich heir tomorrow.】

She smiled brightly, and who would have thought that beneath her gentle and pure exterior, such thoughts were hidden?

[1] The phrase “It’s a waste for a master of pouring water not to become a sea king” is a Chinese idiom that suggests that someone with exceptional skills or abilities is not using their talents to their full potential. In this case, a “master of pouring water” is someone who is extremely skilled at pouring water, and the “sea king” is a metaphor for a powerful or influential person.
