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

Chapter 36 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction

After returning home, Ji Chaoxi told Qin Du about it.

"Brother Qin Du, do you want to go? They can teach you then."

Those educated youths must have read a lot of books. Although Qin Du had also read books, Ji Chaoxi subconsciously felt that those from the city were more capable.

Seeing that Qin Du didn't speak, Ji Chaoxi tugged at his sleeve. Qin Du sighed, "I don't need them to teach me."

Ji Chaoxi nodded thoughtfully: "Then I won't go either."

Qin Du responded softly.

"It's getting cooler now, so wear an extra layer when you go out."

In fact, Ji Chaoxi was already wearing a lot of clothes, while Qin Du was wearing very little.

At first, Ji Chaoxi thought Qin Du was broke and had no clothes, so she brought him several thick clothes from her own home.

Qin Du thought she was trying to tease him again, so he didn't say anything and obediently put on the clothes, only to find himself covered in sweat.

Later, Ji Chaoxi learned that Qin Du was born with a high body temperature and did not need to warm himself by a fire like others.

Ji Zhuxin had just returned from the county. She glanced inside from the doorway of the side room.

Ji Chaoxi was dressed warmly, carrying two metal thermos flasks. There was a bowl of steaming sugar water on the table, and a blanket was placed on the rocking chair next to her. The rocking chair was also covered with thick quilts, making it clear who it was for.

There's nothing on Qin Du's side.

Ji Chaoxi glanced down at the thermos in her arms, then looked up and said something to Qin Du. Qin Du got up and took the thermos to fill it with hot water.

This level of proficiency shows they've done it a lot.

Ji Zhuxin shook her head and left silently.

Seeing how well they got along, she had mixed feelings. Of course, she hoped that Qin Du could take good care of Ji Chaoxi, but she was also afraid that he was unwilling.

Ji Zhuxin entered the Qin family's house next door. She took off her military overcoat and rubbed her hands together.

"Auntie, is it warm in the house?"

Qin's mother lay on the bed, chuckling happily, "It's warm, of course it's warm."

Ji Zhuxin filled a bowl with some pickled vegetables and handed it to Qin's mother: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and the children are about to take the college entrance examination. Even God doesn't seem to care about the weather."

As Qin's mother ate the pickled vegetables, the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and she couldn't help but sigh, "I feel like something's missing if I don't eat some every day."

"They study hard every day, but if they pass the exam, their lives will be much easier from now on."

Ji Zhuxin smiled and nodded: "I only have one goal now, to help these two children take the college entrance examination smoothly."

"Auntie, Qin Du has such a good personality. He takes good care of our Xi Xi. You've raised him so well."

Qin's mother's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she couldn't help but retort a few times: "He's such a quiet person, what's so good or bad about his personality?"

"It's because Xixi has a good personality that he's become more cheerful."

Speaking of this, Qin's mother started talking about how Ji Chaoxi carried her down the mountain before.

"I was thinking at the time, this little sister must have a very kind heart. In my condition at the time, even adults wouldn't dare to carry me, but she did, and it was so hard for her."

Ji Zhuxin felt a little proud: "Auntie, you're absolutely right. I've spoiled her a bit, but she's still kind-hearted."

She couldn't help but sigh, "When she was little, I didn't earn much money. I could only collect firewood to earn work points. She felt sorry for me back then. She was almost as tall as the firewood, so she started helping me haul the firewood."

"She even went with others to collect coal cinders, and her hands and face were covered in black soot. I was both angry and heartbroken at the time."

That's how it is with breastfeeding babies; there are times when you get angry, but most of the time you're happy.

The two women would chat endlessly, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

It was late at night, and the dim light of the kerosene lamp shone on the paper covered with writing.

Ji Chaoxi lay on Qin Du's table, and Qin Du lowered his head and gently massaged the back of her neck. Ji Chaoxi felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and the stiffness in her neck was relieved a lot. She closed her eyes comfortably.

"I'll raise the table a bit higher tomorrow," Qin Du said in a low voice.

Ji Chaoxi shrank back a little, making it seem as if Qin Du was completely holding her in his arms, even though they both knew there was still a long distance between them.

Qin Du took a deep breath and moved his gaze with difficulty to the kerosene lamp.

At first, he remembered that she was very afraid of him, but he didn't know when it started, she often asked him to do this and that, and the two became familiar with each other, and he couldn't refuse her.

"Go to bed early tonight, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Ji Chaoxi didn't speak, Qin Du gently pinched her, and Ji Chaoxi nodded dazedly.

His mother often told him to take good care of his younger sister. Is this what it feels like to have a younger sister?

He had a younger brother before, but he would beat him up if he misbehaved.

Sister, we shouldn't do this.

The learning atmosphere in the educated youth compound was very strong.

Xie Zhiqing waited in the courtyard for a long time, but Ji Chaoxi didn't come to find him. He paced around the courtyard in frustration.

Lin Yitang glanced at him several times, then frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

When this was mentioned, Xie Zhiqing got angry: "It's all because of that Qin Du, who keeps wasting people's time."

Upon hearing Qin Du's name, Lin Yitang paused, her hands still turning the pages of her book. "What happened to him now?"

"What's wrong with him? Humph!" Xie Zhiqing sat in front of Lin Yitang, indignant. "Last time I went to see Chaoxi, I asked her if she wanted to study with us, and she said she wanted to invite Qin Du!"

Lin Yitang lowered her eyes and casually said, "Then let them come together. They're all studying anyway."

Xie Zhiqing choked up, decisively ignoring her words: "So she said she'd come if Qin Du came, but now she's not coming, it must be because Qin Du didn't let her!"

"What kind of books could the son of a 'black five categories' have read? What could he possibly teach Chaoxi? He's just wasting Chaoxi's time."

Lin Yitang said softly, "He also speaks Russian, so he might have really read quite a few books before."

"Russian?" Xie Zhiqing sneered. "He's just bragging. If he knew Russian, I'd take his surname."

Seeing his reaction, Lin Yitang didn't say anything more.

The next day, Xie Zhiqing went to intercept Ji Chaoxi.

"Chaoxi, why don't you come to the compound and study with us?"

He looked somewhat aggrieved.

Ji Chaoxi gave him a strange look: "Brother Qin Du will teach me."

"What does he know..." Xie Zhiqing said, holding her breath. "Chaoxi, Qin Du has a bad family background. He wouldn't have passed the political review when he applied. You should stay away from him and not get implicated."

Ji Chaoxi was a little angry: "You're talking nonsense. The broadcast said that we only look at grades and not family background."

Xie Zhiqing sighed: "Chaoxi, you can't just believe whatever the radio says."

That's what they say, but how much time has passed? How can we not consider the background?

Anyway, he felt that Qin Du definitely wouldn't be able to register, just because he was a descendant of the "Five Black Categories".

Ji Chaoxi ignored him completely, pushed him away, and ran away.
