Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Over the next few days, Pei Yufeng's mood plummeted, and the two barely spoke to each other.

"Sister Chaoxi, when did you awaken your superpower? I awakened it very early, but my level is still very low. I want to be more powerful." Zhang Jili sighed.

Just as Ji Chaoxi was about to speak, Pei Yufeng sneered from the side: "Don't waste your energy, this is all you'll ever be."

Zhang Jili forced a smile: "Alright then."

Ji Chaoxi said seriously, "I've seen many people with superpowers level up before, and they all leveled up after their superpowers were overdrawn. You may not have encountered this situation yet."

Zhang Jili's eyes lit up: "So that's what it is. Thank you, Sister Chaoxi."

Pei Yufeng was so angry she could hardly breathe. Where did this person get so many questions? And she actually answered them.

Zhang Jili wanted to ask more questions, but Pei Yufeng, with a stern face, pulled Ji Chaoxi into the room.

Shen Jiaxue, who was lying by the door, raised an eyebrow and whistled.

The room was quiet; both of them were angry and neither spoke.

Ji Chaoxi sat in the chair, silently wiping the crystal core in her hand. Her face, which was usually always smiling, was slightly tense at this moment.

Out of anger, her thin shoulders swayed slightly, and she didn't even glance at him.

Ever since that day she left the lab, Pei Yufeng has been acting strangely, always ignoring her. He avoids her whenever she looks at him, and he gets upset when she talks to Zhang Jili.

Ji Chaoxi really didn't know what he meant.

Pei Yufeng stood next to Ji Chaoxi, his shadow completely covering her body. He looked at her reddened eyes, his throat extremely dry.

He tried several times to reach out and touch her shoulder, but then awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Pei Yufeng was also in a state of utter confusion. He had no idea how to interact with her or how to talk to her, even though he had always been very natural around her before.

"Snap—"

The crystal core fell from Ji Chaoxi's hand onto the table, startling both of them.

Ji Chaoxi lowered her head, her eyes downcast, unconsciously picking at the grain of the wood, her heart aching terribly.

He must have felt that she was holding him back; he was so angry when he came back that he crashed his car.

Pei Yufeng's mental energy was in complete disarray. He clenched his fists awkwardly, feeling both powerless and jealous.

Did she find his words unpleasant? Actually, he had been mentally studying the words Zhang Jili said, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them when facing her.

He didn't want Zhang Jili to get close to her, but Zhang Jili seemed to make her happier than him.

"Pei Yufeng," Ji Chaoxi finally spoke, her voice trembling with emotion, "I'm so grateful to you during this time. You've saved me so many times, and I've always been a burden to you."

"I have a lot of crystal cores here. I'll give them to you. I don't think I've ever asked for your opinion on anything I do, and I don't know if you'll like them."

Ji Chaoxi, holding back tears, said, "Or... let's break up. I'll go find Sister Jia Sui, and you can do what you truly want to do..."

Pei Yufeng froze upon hearing these words. He suddenly moved closer to her, the sound of his boots scraping the ground particularly jarring.

He stood behind her, his fingertips stopping abruptly just as they touched her, his body trembling with extreme tension.

"We can't be apart." Pei Yufeng's voice was hoarse, almost a roar, with a tremor. "I don't want to be apart from you, and there's nothing I really want to do."

He knelt down in front of her, clutching the hem of her skirt. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "You haven't been a burden to me. I like following you. I like whatever you do..."

Ji Chaoxi's pent-up bitterness, which she had suppressed for several days, suddenly burst forth, and her voice was thick with nasal tone.

"But you haven't spoken to me lately, you don't even look at me, and you avoid me whenever I get close."

Tears streamed down her face like a broken string, splattering onto her skirt and leaving a small dark stain.

She didn't cry loudly, but just sobbed.

"No...that's not how it is." Pei Yufeng completely panicked.

At this moment, he didn't care about propriety anymore; he carefully wiped away her tears.

"It's not that I'm ignoring you..." His voice was terribly hoarse as he awkwardly explained over and over, "I'm not talking to you because I'm not as good at talking as Zhang Jili, and I'm afraid you'll find me repulsive."

His eyes were red-rimmed, and he spoke haltingly: "I always say hurtful things, and I want to change, but... you look so beautiful in a white dress, and you don't chatter on and on. I like listening to you talk to me."

"I don't go near you because you smell so good, I don't dare to smell it, I feel it's wrong..."

Pei Yufeng's voice trembled as he looked at her anxiously, trying to explain to her.

Ji Chaoxi was still crying, but as she listened, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She wiped away her tears and listened in silence.

Pei Yufeng suppressed the tears in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion: "I don't look at you because I think you're exceptionally beautiful. Every time you smile at me, my mental energy gets completely disrupted..."

Pei Yufeng's hand was still gripping Ji Chaoxi's skirt, which was crumpled from his grip. He lowered his head, waiting for her judgment.

Ji Chaoxi's ears were initially just a little red when she heard Pei Yufeng say something about how he thought she was pretty, but when he said something about how he thought she was pretty, her face quickly turned red with heat.

She tried her best to suppress the urge to smile, her eyes shining, and she said dryly, "Oh, I see."

Pei Yufeng nodded dejectedly. Ji Chaoxi looked at his reddened earlobe and couldn't help but poke it.

Pei Yufeng's body trembled, and he even held his breath.

Ji Chaoxi tried to pull the hem of her skirt out of his hands, but he held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

Ji Chaoxi grew bolder and tentatively reached out her hand, placing it on his head and giving it a tentative rub.

Pei Yufeng stiffened, but remained silent.

"Who said you can't talk? You make me so happy."

Pei Yufeng's breath caught in his throat for a moment upon hearing those words.

Seeing that he didn't look up, Ji Chaoxi figured he might be a little embarrassed and too shy to look up, so she cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to do the laundry."

But the moment she turned around, she was embraced by a slightly cold hug.

Through the clothes she was wearing, Ji Chaoxi could feel how fast Pei Yufeng's heart was beating; his heartbeat was completely erratic.

He held her very lightly, but the tips of his hands, which were clasped together on her abdomen, were clenched so tightly they turned white.

Night fell over the desert, and the pale moonlight spilled onto the sea of ​​sand, creating an atmosphere of deathly stillness. I looked out the window.

His tall frame completely enveloped her; he buried his face deep in the crook of her neck, his breathing rapid, revealing an almost desperate sense of dependence.

Two people in the living room.

Zhang Jili was silent for a moment before speaking, "They're not even eating?"

Shen Jiaxue shrugged.
