Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 36

Pretending not to notice Su Jingyu’s suddenly changed expression, Su Yu happily bowed to him and cheerfully left with her companions.

“Don’t worry, we came together. I definitely won’t keep all the commission from the drinks; I’ll give you half…”

The voice gradually faded away, and Su Jingyu stood in place for a long time, unable to regain his senses.

The boy’s delicate eyes lowered, cautiously taking out the hair he had hidden in his pocket, cradling it like a precious treasure. He wanted to share this joy but was afraid it would all end up being in vain, his lips tightly pursed.

Even if life wasn’t going well, she was willing to share half the money with her companion.

If it really was his sister…

As Su Jingyu’s heart softened, a wave of sourness surged in his eyes.

If his sister hadn’t gone missing, why would she need to be so stingy over this small amount of money?

Thinking of this, Su Jingyu suddenly regretted giving her less money earlier.

“…I’ll give you half, but I can’t share the tips; I still need to use them to pay for tuition,” Su Yu said, her beautiful eyes lowering, seeming to feel guilty about it.

Upon hearing the first half of her sentence, her companion was pleasantly surprised.

But when she heard the second half, her companion quickly reassured her, “It’s okay, you don’t have to feel guilty. The tips are given by the guests; they can give them to whoever they want. I’m just happy that you can share half the drink money with me.”

Her companion looked at the new girl who had just arrived today, sympathy appearing on her face.

She heard that she was a student from S University. Such a good school, and so pretty, yet she couldn’t afford her tuition and had to come here to work. How pitiful.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently.

This smile was like a gentle breeze in March, soothing and soft, making people unconsciously feel a surge of goodwill towards her.

Her companion stared at her, unable to look away, suddenly feeling that the “white moonlight [1]” people talked about online had come to life.

Only the system knew what Su Yu, the “white moonlight,” looked like inside.

What white moonlight? She was clearly black moonlight, with the white glutinous rice skin wrapped around black sesame filling, completely black inside.

【Sigh, I’m really too pitiful.】 Su Yu lamented to herself.

The system laughed silently, amused.

After changing back into her previous clothes, Su Yu and Zhao Manman left the club.

As they reached the door, someone suddenly called her name.

“Su Yu?”

Su Yu paused her steps, instinctively turning back.

Seeing the person, her eyes widened in surprise: “Li Heng?”

“Is it really you?” Li Heng was first surprised, not expecting to see Su Yu here.

In the next moment, he seemed to think of something, furrowing his brow, his expression suddenly turning ugly. “What are you doing here?”

He quickly walked over, grabbing Su Yu’s arm, his expression frighteningly serious.

Zhao Manman instinctively grabbed Su Yu’s other arm, afraid that this person would bully her.

Su Yu’s wrist twitched but didn’t pull away.

She frowned slightly: “Li Heng, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Li Heng felt anxious and bit his teeth, fearing that his suspicions might be true. “I want to ask you what you’re doing here!”

It was so late; she should have been at school. Coming to a place like this couldn’t be to spend money, right?

If it wasn’t to spend money, then it was to make money.

Li Heng didn’t dare think about whether Su Yu was that kind of girl, his grip on her wrist tightening unconsciously.

Su Yu felt pain in her wrist and pulled back slightly: “It hurts, let go…”

Due to the presence of outsiders, Li Heng didn’t say the words he wanted to.

He glared coldly at Zhao Manman beside them, took a deep breath, and pulled Su Yu closer: “Come here, I have something to ask you.”

Zhao Manman wanted to stop them but was pinned in place by Li Heng’s cold glare: “This doesn’t concern you.”

Su Yu uneasily lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and smiled reassuringly at Zhao Manman: “Manman, you can go back first. We know each other; there might be some misunderstanding. I’ll explain it to him.”

Zhao Manman could only give in, looking back three times with worry written all over her face.

Li Heng dragged Su Yu to a corner, suppressing his anger as he leaned closer, his arms pressing against the wall, trapping Su Yu in a small space.

Su Yu had never been this close to another boy before; her cheeks flushed unnaturally. Her watery eyes darted around, with the wall behind her offering no escape.

She instinctively softened her voice: “Li Heng, don’t be like this…”

Li Heng ignored her, gritting his teeth: “I’m asking you, what are you doing here?”

The boy’s breath enveloped her forcefully, making Su Yu uncomfortable as she tried to distance herself, feeling short of breath.

“I… I’m here to work.”

Li Heng’s heart sank, asking in a deep voice: “What kind of work?”

Su Yu’s eyes were pure and innocent: “What else could it be? I’m working as a waitress. Manman said they needed people, so I came to do a part-time job for a day, promoting drinks for the guests and tidying up the tables.”

Li Heng’s frustration froze: “Is that all?”

Su Yu seemed not to understand what he meant: “What else would there be?”

The girl’s big, watery eyes were extremely clear and clean, reflecting pure confusion.

Li Heng’s gaze flickered, and he awkwardly released his arms that were pinning Su Yu, clearing his throat: “N-Nothing.”

He was too impulsive.

To cover up his embarrassment, Li Heng changed the subject: “Where’s your boyfriend? He lets you come out to make money?”

“If you’re short on money, you can tell me. I don’t have much, but I do have money. What does Qi Huaizhi have other than his looks? He can’t even afford a girlfriend,” he said disdainfully.

After saying this, he stubbornly advised: “Why don’t you break up with him and be with me?”

“I am the only son in my family; all the family assets are mine. If you’re with me, I’ll support you whether you go to graduate school or study abroad after you graduate. If you don’t want to continue studying, you can directly work in my company. If you don’t want to work, I can support you; whatever you want, how about it?”

As he spoke, he took a card out of his pocket and placed it in Su Yu’s hand: “There’s five hundred thousand in here. It’s not much, but you can spend it.”

His arrogant demeanor was reminiscent of a certain type of nouveau riche.

Hearing that there was five hundred thousand on the card, Su Yu’s breath caught, and she lowered her gaze at the card in her palm, her heart stirred.

Her long eyelashes fell, the light and shadow playing in her eyes, obscuring her beautiful gaze and hiding the struggle and desire within.

“Is what you said true?” Su Yu’s voice was weak.

“Of course!”

“Not only that, but I can do other things too.”

Li Heng beamed: “You grew up in an orphanage, right? If you’re with me, I’ll have my dad invest in that orphanage where you used to stay. How about that?”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu felt even more tempted, her eyes revealing a struggle.

Moments later, she pushed Li Heng away, lowering her head: “I’m sorry.”

This was a rejection.

Li Heng didn’t understand. What did he lack compared to Qi Huaizhi?

He was furious: “You, you… Su Yu, have you been brainwashed by Qi Huaizhi? Someone like him can only show off in school. After graduation, he’ll be nothing. Why can’t you see that?”

Li Heng angrily slammed his fist against the wall.

Su Yu was scared and closed her eyes, shrinking her shoulders. Her timid appearance made it hard to scold her.

For a long time, there was no other sound. Su Yu opened her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and grabbed Li Heng’s sleeve: “Don’t be angry; we can still be friends.”

She lowered her gaze to Li Heng’s reddened knuckles, thought for a moment, and gently cradled his hand, blowing softly on it as if treating a child.

“Does it hurt?”

The cool breeze brushed over his hand, causing a tingling sensation.

Her heart felt the same way.

Li Heng’s anger seemed to dissipate in the breeze, vanishing without a trace.

His expression was awkward as he turned his face away: “It doesn’t hurt.”

The girl in front of him smiled sweetly, like a crescent moon: “That’s good.”

To keep the donkey, you must give it a carrot. Li Heng was Su Yu’s second choice.

As for the first choice…

It all depended on whether things went smoothly with Su Jingyu.
