Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 37

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

When Su Jingyu left the club, he was distracted, still thinking about what had just happened. It felt like a special instinct; he unconsciously glanced toward the corner.

In the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Su Yu was pondering how to get away when she saw a figure rushing over. Then, Li Heng, who was standing in front of her, was knocked over by someone.

“Ah—” she gasped in surprise.

Su Jingyu used all his strength and swung a punch, his expression fierce: “Beast, who do you think you can touch!”

“F*ck! Who the hell are you?”

Li Heng staggered away, inexplicably beaten like a dog, so he fought back.

Su Yu carefully stepped out of the range of their attacks, her expression confused.

This scene was certainly not part of her plan.

The system was both shocked and impressed, murmuring: 【The host is really impressive. In the last world, the male lead and his brother fought for you, and now in this world, two rich heirs are fighting for you. What charm!】

Su Yu couldn’t tell if this was a compliment or sarcasm.

【…Thank you for the compliment.】

Now was the time to take advantage of the moment and run.

Just like in the last world, Su Yu heartlessly slipped away, leaving the two unfortunate guys still in a scuffle.

One of them was the big sucker who had given away five hundred thousand.

Not only that, but the big sucker was also rejected.

Money was fine, but dating was out of the question. The priority was to eat and smash pots [1], and to burn bridges once crossed.

Su Yu felt that her current persona was like dancing on the edge of a knife; it was only a matter of time before she would get herself in trouble.

Little did she know, as she ran out, she bumped into Qi Huaizhi.

Su Yu was startled and hurriedly stuffed her bank card into her pocket, quickly adjusting her expression, and asked in confusion: “Huaizhi? What are you doing here?”

Qi Huaizhi seemed to be in a hurry, slightly out of breath. Seeing Su Yu, he grasped her shoulders, checking her for injuries.

Seeing that she was fine, he finally relaxed.

“Your roommate just called me anxiously, saying something happened here and asked me to come pick you up.”

“Are you okay? What happened?”

Su Yu shook her head, holding onto his arm, and said softly, “I’m fine. Manman is just too worried about me; it was just a small issue, and it’s all resolved.”

At that moment, there was a huge noise coming from the club hall a few steps away; the security had rushed over.

Su Yu pulled her neck in nervously and urged Qi Huaizhi, “Let’s hurry and leave.”

The two held hands.

Having made a significant sum of money, Su Yu’s steps were light. As their arms swung together, she playfully blinked and said proudly: “I made a lot of money today, so I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Qi Huaizhi didn’t ask how much she made and didn’t dampen her spirits, his eyes filled with affection: “Okay.”

In the evening, nothing was more fitting than a barbecue.

After dinner, carrying the barbecue packed for Zhao Manman, Su Yu playfully stepped on Qi Huaizhi’s shadow.

She rarely showed her domineering side: “You’re under my feet now; you have to listen to me from now on, understand?”

Qi Huaizhi chuckled, unfazed.

“Got it.”

Little did he know that this statement felt like a spell; in the days to come, he would recall this more than once, wondering if this was the beginning of being grasped by Su Yu, unable to bring himself to torment this selfish and heartless woman.

After a tiring walk, Su Yu asked Qi Huaizhi to carry her.

His back wasn’t particularly wide, but it was very stable. Through the thin clothing, the warmth transferred between them, rising and becoming hot.

The girl’s gentle breathing tickled his neck, making his heart tremble.

“Qi Huaizhi, can we be together like this forever?”

Hearing this, Qi Huaizhi felt his heart soften.

He responded quietly: “Mm.”

However, in the days that followed, every time Qi Huaizhi thought of this sentence, he felt it was ironic.

The one who proposed to always be together was the first to give up, and in such a cruel and heartless way.

Their overlapping silhouettes were stretched long by the streetlights.

Yet Qi Huaizhi wished this road would never end, wanting to walk until the end of time.

…

After obtaining Su Yu’s hair, Su Jingyu sent it for testing as quickly as possible. The anticipation he felt before was now replaced with anxiety.

His parents were still out of town, and he didn’t dare to tell them about this, fearing it would end in vain.

The moment the results came out, Su Jingyu’s wrist trembled slightly.

He forced himself to calm down, taking the report, ignoring the lengthy explanations, and focusing his gaze on the one sentence he most wanted to see.

At that moment, Su Yu was in the library.

With the final exams approaching, she had been pestering Qi Huaizhi to help her highlight the key points for the exam.

Yes, you heard that right. A student from the business school wanted a computer science major to help her with the exam points.

Su Yu knew this was absurd, but—

【Qi Huaizhi has the male lead aura; anything he highlights is bound to be on the exam!】

This was a life lesson Su Yu had learned through many painful experiences.

The noon sunlight poured down on the two like broken gold, attracting a lot of attention.

Bai Luo’s gaze was hidden among these stares.

The books lay open on the table, but she couldn’t focus at all, uncontrollably glancing at Qi Huaizhi, the boy she had chased throughout her youth like the sun.

In the next moment, her view was suddenly obstructed.

Su Yu casually glanced at Bai Luo, then leaned playfully on Qi Huaizhi’s arm, acting cute as she touched his eyelashes, her eyes curving with a smile that sparkled in the sunlight.

“Huaizhi, how do you have such long eyelashes? They’re so long and thick, like a girl’s.”

Qi Huaizhi’s lashes fluttered, but he didn’t pull away.

He gently tapped the table: “Don’t daydream; focus on studying. Didn’t you say the exam is coming up? If you don’t hurry to revise, you’ll fail.”

Su Yu whined: “Oh, I know! It’s not like you’re not here!”

Bai Luo almost covered her ears, unable to concentrate on her studies even more.

She was certain Su Yu was doing this on purpose.

Doing this to show off to her.

But… but she was the one who knew Qi Huaizhi first.

They had been together from elementary school to high school and now in college; wasn’t that a special bond? Why did everything change as soon as Su Yu arrived?

Bai Luo felt like a thief peeking from the corner, watching them show off their affection without a care, silently venting her resentment.

After a few moments, she finally mustered the courage.

Bai Luo randomly grabbed a book from the table, nervously walking over to Qi Huaizhi’s side, her oversized black-framed glasses covering half her face, timidly speaking up.

“Huaizhi, there’s a question I don’t understand. Can you explain it to me…?”

“Pff—”

Before she could finish, Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Bai Luo and Qi Huaizhi instinctively turned to look at the source of the laughter.

Su Yu’s voice was gentle, but it couldn’t hide her amusement: “Luo Luo, you and Huaizhi aren’t in the same major. What question could you ask him? Did you think this was high school? Have you gone dumb from studying?”

Her teasing words sounded more like mockery.

She didn’t mention that she also had Qi Huaizhi highlight the key points for her.

As soon as she said this, Bai Luo’s mind buzzed.

In the next second, she snapped back, standing frozen, her face flushed bright red.

She was too anxious, thinking that just like in high school, she could borrow a question to get closer to Qi Huaizhi.

The gazes of the classmates around them felt tangible, like needles piercing into her, Bai Luo’s cheeks turned red, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

So embarrassing, and to make matters worse, it was in front of both the person she liked and the person she disliked.

“I… I didn’t mean to…” Bai Luo said, nearly in tears from embarrassment.

Su Yu smiled silently, watching her awkwardness with cold eyes.

In a daze, through the mist in her eyes, Bai Luo seemed to see mockery and derision in Su Yu’s gaze, just like that day on the stairs.

With such a gentle and pure face, she was extremely vicious inside, fooling her roommate, deceiving her classmates, and even tricking Qi Huaizhi.

In the end, it was Qi Huaizhi who stepped in to defuse the situation: “Luo Luo, which question do you want to ask? Xiao Yu is in the same major as you, why don’t you let her take a look?”

Su Yu’s voice was soft: “Yeah, why don’t I take a look? Maybe I know it.”

This sentence was like a fuse.

Bai Luo took a step back, gritted her teeth, and glared at Su Yu: “That’s enough, Su Yu! Stop pretending! I’ve known what kind of person you are for a long time!”

After saying that, she hugged her books and ran out of the library, wiping her tears as she went.

Su Yu was taken aback and frowned in confusion: “Huaizhi, what does Luo Luo mean? Did I say something wrong?”

The system shuddered: 【Host, I suddenly realized that not only can you carry water, but you’re also quite good at brewing tea [2].】

Su Yu replied speechlessly: 【Is this about knowing how to speak? Sister, this is called professionalism!】

[1] Eat and smash pots refers to living a carefree and impulsive life, without considering the consequences. It implies a disregard for social norms and expectations.

[2] The phrase “not only can you carry water, but you’re also quite good at brewing tea” is a Chinese idiom that means someone is not only capable of doing basic tasks but also excels at more complex or skilled ones.
