Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 38

Su Yu anxiously lowered her eyes, her face showing concern and guilt.

Faced with harsh words, her first reaction wasn’t anger but fear that she had said something wrong.

Qi Huaizhi felt a twinge of pity in his heart.

“It’s not your fault. Luo Luo has been stubborn since she was a child. Maybe…” Qi Huaizhi hesitated, “maybe it’s because of me.”

As sharp as Qi Huaizhi was, how could he not notice Bai Luo’s feelings for him?

He knew Bai Luo liked him.

Not wanting to hurt their friendship, he had never addressed it directly and had always kept a certain distance.

He hadn’t expected Su Yu to be wronged because of it.

He gently embraced his kind and gentle girlfriend, lightly patting her back in comfort. “I’ll handle this. I’ll talk to Luo Luo and clear things up. You don’t need to worry.”

Su Yu still looked troubled. “Did I really not say anything wrong?”

Seeing his girlfriend blaming herself, Qi Huaizhi felt helpless. How could she be bullied and still make excuses for others?

But then, recalling her background, it all made sense.

Qi Huaizhi’s heart softened. “It’s Luo Luo being unreasonable; it has nothing to do with you.”

After a pause, he added: “When someone bullies you, don’t think it’s because you did something wrong. Not everyone is as kind as you. There’s plenty of malice in the world for no reason. If someone curses at you, curse them back. If someone hits you…”

At this point, he stopped abruptly, glanced at Su Yu’s small frame, and stayed silent for two seconds.

Qi Huaizhi then changed his tone, “Just remember who it is and tell me. I’ll hit them back for you.”

“In short, don’t foolishly let yourself be bullied and still make excuses for others. Got it?”

Since no one had ever taught her these lessons, he would.

Su Yu half understood but knew that Qi Huaizhi was doing this for her good. She was so touched that she buried her face in his chest.

“Huaizhi, you’re so kind~”

The system’s voice was cold: 【Host, keep it together. Don’t laugh out loud.】

Su Yu, knowing Qi Huaizhi couldn’t see her, grinned so wide her smile almost reached her ears. He was so naive. How could the male lead be so naive? She almost felt bad.

They spoke in hushed tones, trying not to disturb others.

But with all the hugging…

Hmm… how could this not be disruptive?

In the quiet library, the two of them blatantly sprinkled a hefty dose of “dog food.”

Enough. We’re stuffed. Any more and someone might die.

At that moment, Qi Huaizhi’s phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. Still holding Su Yu, he took it out with one hand and frowned at the message.

Su Yu lifted her head from his chest and softly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Huaizhi frowned at the message and explained, “The teacher said there’s a problem with the project I’m in charge of, and I might need to go handle it.”

Su Yu, ever understanding, replied: “You should go quickly then.”

Qi Huaizhi hesitated: “But what about you…”

Su Yu shook her head gently, her lips curving into a soft smile: “It’s fine. I can manage on my own. Your work is more important.”

She always yielded, and with such a nature, if no one protected her, she’d suffer greatly in the future.

Qi Huaizhi suddenly felt lucky to have met her first.

The other side urged him to come quickly, and after a few seconds of hesitation, Qi Huaizhi stood up. “I’ll be back soon.”

Half an hour later, Qi Huaizhi called to say the problem was more complicated, and Su Yu didn’t need to wait for him.

Su Yu responded gently: “It’s okay, just focus on dealing with your work.”

As she spoke, Su Yu calmly packed up her things.

Time to clock out! Back to the dorm to lie down!

However, as soon as she stepped out of the library, she was blocked by Li Heng.

“Su Yu.”

Su Yu was startled, then nervously lowered her gaze.

She hadn’t forgotten about last night when she had quietly slipped away while they were fighting.

Had retribution come so soon?

Trying to act calm, Su Yu lifted her spring-like eyes. “Li Heng, you…”

“…Are you alright after last night?” Su Yu paused as she noticed the bruise on Li Heng’s mouth, then nervously asked.

“When you guys suddenly started fighting last night, I was so scared. I wanted to find someone to break you up, but then Huaizhi came to pick me up. The security guards had already arrived, so I… I just left…”

Su Yu’s lashes trembled anxiously as she explained why she left last night, a guilty expression on her face.

Li Heng wasn’t here to confront her.

But hearing her explanation, the slight discomfort he had felt in his heart disappeared.

“It’s fine, hiss—” He laughed heartily but winced when it tugged on the injury at the corner of his mouth.

Su Yu asked worriedly: “Does it hurt a lot?”

Li Heng was about to shake his head when the memory of last night suddenly flashed in his mind—Su Yu cradling his injured hand, softly blowing on it. His face grew hot, and his heart fluttered.

“…It hurts,” he changed his answer.

Su Yu’s worry deepened: “What should we do then? Have you applied any medicine? Do you need to see a doctor?”

Li Heng shook his head, avoiding her gaze. “No need, just… just blow on it like you did last night, and I’ll be fine…”

Su Yu: “…”

Her expression nearly slipped. The abacus beads in her mind were turning so fast, it was almost hitting her in the face.

Su Yu blinked, realizing what he was implying, her face turning red as she snapped: “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Li Heng rubbed his nose, muttering: “If you don’t want to, then don’t.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a delicate box from his coat. The black velvet felt luxurious, and as he slowly opened it, a platinum bracelet adorned with diamonds sparkled inside.

The bracelet was very beautiful, dotted with diamonds, gorgeous and dazzling in the sun. 

Su Yu was taken aback: “What is this?”

“It’s for scaring you last night. Consider it an apology gift.”

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Li Heng shoved the box into Su Yu’s hands.

“Last night was just a misunderstanding. I know Su Jingyu, but I didn’t recognize him at first, so things escalated. It was all just a mix-up.”

Li Heng tugged at the corner of his bruised mouth. That guy had gone berserk last night, even though he was younger. He fought like two people rolled into one. Ouch, it still hurt.

At least he’d fought back, so he didn’t lose face.

Su Yu’s eyes stayed glued to the beautiful bracelet, staring at it without blinking, calculating its value in her mind. Just those diamonds alone were worth quite a bit.

Her final conclusion: it was expensive.

Qi Huaizhi had never given her anything so costly.

Su Yu felt conflicted.

After a moment, she smiled faintly and politely declined: “How could I accept this? It was just a misunderstanding. There’s no need to spend so much.”

Li Heng snorted: “What’s this compared to a real expense? It’s just a few thousand dollars. Just wear it for fun.”

“Only an incompetent man can’t afford to give his girlfriend this kind of thing.”

Never missing a chance to take a dig at Qi Huaizhi.

Li Heng’s words were an exaggeration—most people didn’t have his family background—but Su Yu couldn’t deny they hit a nerve.

Su Yu wavered. “Then… should I accept it?”

Li Heng answered with actions instead.

Without a word, he grabbed Su Yu’s wrist and pulled out the bracelet, treating the few-thousand-dollar luxury item as if it were a five-dollar trinket from a roadside stall.

Yet, when he put it on Su Yu, he was exceptionally gentle.

The closeness of the action brought them face to face.

Li Heng breathed in the soft fragrance emanating from Su Yu, moving slowly, wishing time would pass more leisurely.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were locked on them. This scene was clearly reflected in Bai Luo’s gaze.
