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

"Sister Xiaohe, what's wrong?" Ji Chaoxi ran to her side worriedly.

Why are you crying here so late at night?

Xiao He froze, hurriedly wiping away her tears, and turned around. Her voice was thick with sobs: "Xiao Xizi, what are you doing here?"

She took a candy out of her pocket and handed it to Ji Chaoxi: "Xiao Xizi, you should go back now. Aren't you going to sleep so late?"

Xiao He squatted down in front of Ji Chaoxi and gave her a forced smile, just like she always did for her.

"Who did you bully this time?" Xiao He's eyes crinkled as she pinched her cheek.

Ji Chaoxi didn't say anything, but awkwardly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Xiao He's nose tingled, and she was about to cry again.

She took a deep breath and rubbed Ji Chaoxi's head: "Alright, alright, I'll take you back to Eunuch Liu's place now."

"I'm not going back, Sister Xiaohe. I have things to do," Ji Chaoxi said earnestly.

Xiao He looked at Ruhui Palace not far away, realized something, and took her hand to walk to the back.

"Little Xizi, how could you be so mean, bullying the Seventh Prince so late at night."

She patted her head and smiled, "You might not have a good day today. The Seventh Prince has been kept after school by the teacher these past few days, and he's probably still in the library right now."

Ji Chaoxi asked worriedly, "Can I go into the library?"

Xiao He said helplessly, "Of course not, it's locked in the Master's hands."

Ji Chaoxi frowned deeply: "Sister Xiaohe, is it cold in the library?"

"It's definitely not cold. The library can't be too cold or too hot, otherwise what would happen to the books inside?"

"Is there a place to sleep in that library?"

"You little Xizi, there's no place to sleep in the library, but if you want to sleep, you'll have to sleep on the floor..."

When Xiao He escorted Ji Chaoxi back, Eunuch Liu was standing guard at the door with a dark expression.

Xiao He glanced at the guilty-looking Ji Chaoxi beside her and chuckled before leaving.

In the dimly lit horse farm, the guards on duty kept yawning. A dark figure silently scaled the towering red wall and landed precisely on the snow.

Looking at Xiao Yanchen lying on the snow, barely alive, Seventeen calmly put one hand on his shoulder.

A soldier carrying a lantern approached from a distance, and Seventeen suddenly raised his hand, hooking the eaves of the watchtower tightly.

A blur streaked across the air and vaulted over the red wall.

Seventeen had assumed that Xiao Yanchen had fainted, which was why he had been silent the whole way.

But when he arrived at Ruhui Palace, he realized that Xiao Yanchen's eyes were open, and he was stunned for a moment.

"master."

"Thank you, Seventeen."

Xiao Yanchen thanked him softly, then ran to the bedside and carefully touched the fox fur collar on the bed.

Seventeen watched him from the side: "Master, Xiao Xizi just came by. He brought this ointment and the fox fur collar."

Perhaps because Xiao Yanchen's reaction was too abnormal, he even added, "This morning, Xiao Xizi even used a slingshot to hit the Second Prince and the Third Prince."

Listening to Seventeen's words, Xiao Yanchen could even imagine her hiding in a corner, wrinkling her nose as she pulled the slingshot.

The fur collar glowed softly in the candlelight. Xiao Yanchen took a deep breath and buried his face in the fur collar, which still carried Xiao Xizi's scent. He rubbed his face against the fur collar with obvious affection.

"Xiao Xizi...she cares about me a lot..."

Xiao Yanchen's voice was full of satisfaction.

Seventeen hesitated as he looked at Xiao Yanchen's figure. Wouldn't he cry? He remembered that when Xiao Yanchen was bullied by those princes, he would often hide under the covers and cry secretly.

But he's so calm now.

The second day was a day off, so Xiao Yanchen didn't need to go to the Imperial Study and could rest at Ruhui Palace for a day.

As soon as Ji Chaoxi got her lunchbox, she ran to Ruhui Palace. Xiao Yanchen was standing at the door as before, and when he saw Ji Chaoxi, his face was full of uncontrollable joy.

"Xiaoxizi!"

It seems like he hasn't spoken to her in a long time.

Ji Chaoxi looked at Xiao Yanchen who immediately ran to her side. Just as she was about to tease him, she noticed the wound on his brow and froze.

"Xiao Xizi, I miss you so much. Did you make this fox fur collar for me? I love it." Xiao Yanchen took the things from her hands and looked at her longingly.

Ji Chaoxi gave a muffled reply and walked into the hall.

Xiao Yanchen glanced at Ji Chaoxi, grabbed her sleeve, and kept talking to her: "Little Xizi, last time I saw you going to the Censorate with Eunuch Liu, you looked so impressive, Little Xizi, you're so amazing!"

He knows how to compliment her so she'll be happy.

There was a steaming hot meal on the table. The two sat together, and Xiao Yanchen didn't want to be separated from Ji Chaoxi at all.

"Xiao Xizi, are you unhappy? Did Eunuch Liu say something to you?" Xiao Yanchen looked at Ji Chaoxi cautiously.

Ji Chaoxi was eating her meal in silence when a hot tear fell into her food without warning, followed by a second and a third. She tried to hold it in, but the tears just kept falling.

Xiao Yanchen was terrified. He looked at her helplessly, awkwardly wiping away her tears: "What's wrong, Xiao Xizi? Did someone bully you? I'll go beat him up for you!"

Ji Chaoxi cried louder and louder, and Xiao Yanchen was at a loss to comfort her, his eyes also turning red.

"Xiao Xizi, don't be sad. What happened?"

He wiped away her tears and tried to comfort her, his words somewhat incoherent: "Did someone steal your first place as a eunuch? Or did someone say you were getting close to a palace maid? Tell me, and I'll go beat him up right now..."

With red-rimmed eyes, Xiao Yanchen hugged Ji Chaoxi tightly, patting her back stiffly and awkwardly: "Little Xizi, don't cry..."

Ji Chaoxi cried so hard she could barely breathe, wiping her tears on Xiao Yanchen's body: "Xiao Yanchen, are you in a lot of pain right now?"

Xiao Yanchen's brow bone was ripped open, the wound so deep that the bone was visible, like a red centipede. The skin and flesh at the edge of the wound were turned up, and if you were any closer, it would be right up to his eye.

Xiao Yanchen was stunned by Ji Chaoxi's words. His eyes lit up, and he tilted his head up, nuzzling her gently: "Little Xizi, are you crying because you're worried about me?"

Xiao Yanchen was overjoyed. He was happy whenever he saw Xiao Xizi, but he was especially happy today.

Ji Chaoxi choked with sobs, and Xiao Yanchen cupped her face, gently wiping away her tears, his eyes filled with joy.

"So Xiao Xizi cares about me this much."

Ji Chaoxi's voice still trembled with a sob: "Are you stupid? Shouldn't your injury be the most important thing right now?"

He always wondered if she was worried about anything.

Xiao Yanchen rubbed against her shoulder with a satisfied look on his face, the fur collar brushing against her neck, making her feel a little itchy.

He would be very happy if this could make Xiaoxi cry for him.
