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

The weather this year is frighteningly cold, and there was an avalanche in the mountains that blocked the road, preventing anything from getting in and making the village even less edible.

But Qin Du always managed to catch something, sometimes a rabbit or a pheasant, sometimes a winter fish, and occasionally he would bring back a roe deer.

As it got dark, Ji Chaoxi went down the mountain to wait, reciting her lessons beside him. Once she saw Qin Du coming down with his prey, the two of them went home together.

His hands were covered in the smell of blood. Qin Du moved away from Ji Chaoxi with his prey. Ji Chaoxi didn't know what he was thinking, and just chattered as she leaned against him.

"Brother Qin Du, you eat."

Ji Chaoxi stuffed something into Qin Du's mouth. Qin Du lowered his head and subconsciously opened his mouth. When he bit into it, he experienced a spicy and sweet sensation.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Ji Chaoxi lowered her head and chuckled. Qin Du felt a little helpless, but still swallowed his food.

I don't know where she found these candies with all sorts of weird flavors.

"My sister's colleague came to our house again."

Ji Chaoxi looked somewhat melancholy.

Qin Du had also met that man. He wore glasses and always brought a lot of things for Ji Zhuxin and Ji Chaoxi whenever he came. He was always by Ji Zhuxin's side and even brought Ji Chaoxi a red envelope last time.

Hearing that Qin Du and Ji Chaoxi were preparing for the college entrance examination, he sent them a lot of books and stationery.

Qin Du looked down at her: "Don't you like him?"

Ji Chaoxi didn't know either, but every time people in the village said that her sister was trying to marry into a better family, she felt uncomfortable.

Her sister is clearly so capable, why would anyone say she's trying to climb the social ladder?

Qin Du didn't understand these things, but he didn't like seeing her sad. He silently brushed the snow off her hair and said, "Let's stir-fry it later. Do you want some chili?"

Ji Chaoxi's attention was immediately diverted: "Yes!"

The people standing at the entrance of the educated youth compound watched this scene unfold.

"Qin Du has such a bad background, yet he's always sticking to Chao tide's side. Doesn't he care about what others say?"

Xie Zhiqing's face was extremely pale.

Lin Yitang glanced at him: "Didn't you dislike Ji Chaoxi before?"

Xie Zhiqing's face flushed red: "I...I...I didn't hate Chaoxi at all. It was because you guys kept talking that I said those things against my conscience."

His biggest regret now is that he hurt Chaoxi's feelings in order to curry favor with them.

After this period of time, he had come to see through the educated youth in the compound.

His circumstances were worse than theirs, and he couldn't buy many books. As a result, when he asked them to borrow books, they always seemed impatient.

Food is scarce now, and when he asked them to lend him some meat, they refused.

The thought of Qin Du catching prey so often filled him with envy: "Besides hunting, what other skills does he have?"

Lin Yitang didn't speak, but just looked at the two people walking side by side not far away.

Qin Du remained mostly silent, his expression calm, but his gaze lingered on Ji Chaoxi, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Lin Yitang couldn't quite describe her feelings; she was both surprised and annoyed.

Their relationship wasn't very good, was it? Everyone had told her before that the two families had a bad relationship.

Just because he saved her, just because of this cliché reason, did all the previous barriers suddenly disappear?

She had seen Ji Chaoxi join Chen Yiping in scolding Qin Du, and she had also seen Qin Du and Ji Chaoxi meet and look at each other with mutual disgust. These scenes were so vivid in her memory.

Early the next morning, Ji Chaoxi went with Ji Zhuxin to deliver pickled vegetables to the village chief's house.

"Chaoxi, you play with Yiping for a while, I'll come over later."

At this time of day, Ji Chaoxi knew that her sister was about to tell the village chief's wife those secrets again.

Chen Yiping was wrapped up tightly, with a large fur collar around his neck, which made him look warm and cozy.

He glanced at her, his voice a little hoarse: "Are you taking the college entrance exam too?"

Ji Chaoxi nodded.

Chen Yiping responded with a sound of agreement and then remained silent.

He had changed a lot from before. His desk was covered with papers he had calculated, his teaching materials were all newly printed, and there were old lesson plans that he had found somewhere.

After a long time, the laughter of Ji Zhuxin and the village chief's wife finally rang out outside, and Ji Chaoxi knew that she would be leaving soon.

As she stood up, Chen Yiping suddenly spoke up: "You can ask me for any information you need in the future."

He looked at Ji Chaoxi: "And Li Ergou and Lin Jun, ask them if they want to take the exam. If they do, I can lend them the money."

Ji Chaoxi looked at him in surprise: "Does your father agree?"

Chen Yiping rolled his eyes at her: "Nonsense, you can just give it to them secretly."

Why did he take such a stupid girl as his subordinate in the first place?

Sure enough, a little while later, Ji Zhuxin called Ji Chaoxi from outside to come home.

As soon as Ji Chaoxi went out, the village chief's wife happily stuffed a few fruits into her arms: "Try them, Yiping's brother brought them back from outside."

Ji Zhuxin repeatedly stopped her, saying, "No, no, I always give her so much stuff every time we come."

"Oh dear, little one, we don't like eating these, so we gave them to your little sister."

As Ji Chaoxi left the village chief's house, she glanced back and saw a kerosene lamp on Chen Yiping's table. It was much brighter than her kerosene lamp. She thought that when she had money in the future, she would also use a kerosene lamp to read.

Ji Zhuxin and Ji Chaoxi parted ways halfway through the journey, as Ji Zhuxin had to go "borrow money" from the villagers.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced, even more people sought her out.

On the way, Ji Chaoxi also encountered Xie Zhiqing.

Saying it was an encounter might not be entirely accurate, because Xie Zhiqing was waiting for her there specifically, with several books in his hand.

He stood hesitantly in front of Ji Chaoxi: "Chaoxi, I heard you're preparing for the college entrance exam. Do you need any books?"

Ji Chaoxi glanced at the book in his hand; they all had it at home. She shook her head.

Xie, the educated youth, rubbed his hands together and smiled at her: "We have study groups in our educated youth compound. Why don't you study with us? We can all teach you."

Ji Chaoxi became interested in this.

"Can Brother Qin Du come along?"

Xie Zhiqing's expression froze for a moment: "That's not good, given his family background..."

"Oh." Ji Chaoxi lowered her head. "Then I won't go."

Xie Zhiqing gritted his teeth: "It's not impossible. If he really wants to go, he can go."

"Studying together is more efficient. If you want to learn English, my English is pretty good, and Lin Yitang's English is also very good. We can both teach you."

Ji Chaoxi listened attentively, somewhat tempted.

Xie Zhiqing looked at Ji Chaoxi nervously.

She seems to have grown up a bit more; her face is small and delicate, her eyes are clear and always seem to be glistening with moisture, making her look even more radiant than before.

Ji Chaoxi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go ask him now, and I'll go if he goes."

Xie Zhiqing choked up, somewhat indignantly: "Chaoxi, why do you listen to him? If you want to go, then go. You can't let him control you."

Just then, a voice suddenly came.

"Xixi, it's time to come home for dinner."

Xie Zhiqing looked over and saw Qin Du standing at the door, his expression calm and indifferent. His gaze quietly swept over the people around Ji Chaoxi.

Xie Zhiqing clenched his fists tightly.

What kind of look is that?
