Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

"Who!" Taxue's expression suddenly turned cold and tense.

Although it was pitch black and there were no lights on, Taxue could still sense the slight sound of the window opening and closing, as well as the person's faint breath.

Judging from his aura, that person's martial arts should be better than hers.

Taxue was sleeping with a pale face. She smelled the breath to determine the location, and threw a flying knife from her sleeve towards the direction of the man. While rushing in that direction, she warned Su Yingxue, "There is an assassin, be careful to hide."

Su Yingxue turned pale instantly when she heard this.

Su Yingxue was so scared that she didn't dare to cry. She tiptoed up in the dark and, relying on her familiarity, got into the closet.

She doesn't know any martial arts or internal skills, so if there really is an assassin, she can only avoid causing trouble for Taxue.

Su Yingxue was hiding in the closet, holding a black iron dagger, which Taxue had given her for self-defense this morning.

She shivered a little and looked at the closet door tremblingly.

Outside the closet door, two figures were fighting, one black and one white, and soon the black figure gained the upper hand.

When the two were locking hands with each other, the man in black knocked the woman in white unconscious with a knife, picked her up and put her on the table.

The man in black walked into the inner room cautiously. He heard her faint breathing in the cabinet. Now that Chu Xingchen had mastered the inner strength taught by Master Kong, with the blessing of the skills, his hearing, vision, smell, and lightness skills were all better than before.

The breath of ordinary people or martial artists with weaker skills than him cannot escape his ears at all.

Through the cabinet door, Chu Xingchen felt him walking towards the wardrobe. The person inside the cabinet heard his approaching footsteps and his breathing became a little disordered. He was obviously getting more and more scared.

It turned out that his sister mistook him for an assassin.

Today he listened to their conversation outside the house for a long time before deciding to break in alone.

Her sister is so sad, and she needs her younger brother to comfort her.

Only they could talk about private matters with each other. Taxue was an outsider, and he couldn't let her wake up.

If Taxue was awake, how could he get close to her sister?

But he didn't expect that his actions would scare his Royal Highness the Princess.

Chu Xingchen reached out, grasped the handle of the wardrobe, and the moment he opened the single door on the left, a sharp dagger stabbed into his chest with a strong wind.

In the darkness, only the moonlight shone on the dagger, and the reflection hit his face.

Seeing this, Chu Xingchen took two steps back, quickly opened the wardrobe door with one hand, and took the opportunity to hold her sister's hand with the other hand.

Chu Xingchen took out a Bodhi seed from his arms, used his internal force to shoot it out from his fingertips, and hit Su Yingxue's wrist, which looked even whiter under the moonlight.

The moment the Bodhi seed hit her, Su Yingxue felt her wrist go numb and tingling, and she couldn't hold the dagger at all. She could only watch the dagger fall to the ground with a clinking sound, which seemed just like her falling heart, so desperate.

There was no sound when he walked on the snow, and the secret guards outside the house did not stop him, proving that he was extremely powerful.

Su Yingxue's eyes were red. Once again, she felt the same helplessness and fear as when she was slaughtered by the assassin in the training ground.

She can still clearly remember that man's cruel, ruthless and cold-blooded eyes.

Su Yingxue was trapped in the small space of the wardrobe, feeling completely dejected. She closed her eyes, and in her final moments, she desperately tried to call out to the sleeping space, but her space remained asleep. She felt an overwhelming despair, surging towards her like an endless tide, and the overwhelming sense of oppression and suffocation engulfed her...

When she thought she was going to die, a bony hand broke into the open wardrobe and, in the moonlight, grasped her slender wrist.

In a moment, those hands, with irresistible force, dragged her out of the narrow space of the closet.

Su Yingxue was pulled out and into a familiar embrace with a cold fragrance, even a bit cold to the touch.

The man held her slender waist with one hand and held her in his arms, and held her wrist with the other hand. His breath sprayed on her ear with a burning smell, and his low and hoarse voice was so familiar to her.

He said, "Sister..."

"Didn't you ask me to tell my sister I'm safe..."

"Why am I here, and my sister is like this, with tears streaming down her face..."

"Don't you want me to be safe?" Chu Xingchen asked in a low voice. The person in his arms had red eyes, and two lines of clear light reflected in the moonlight, which made people feel pity.

When Su Yingxue heard Chu Xingchen's words, she recognized him.

"Chu Xingchen..." When Su Yingxue heard his familiar voice, she suddenly felt extremely relieved.

He is safe.

Su Yingxue inexplicably had only this thought in her mind. All the worries and fears she had felt throughout the day seemed to vanish into nothingness the moment he appeared before her in perfect condition.

What replaced it was an inexplicable peace of mind.

She had to admit that subconsciously, she slowly began to trust Chu Xingchen, slowly began to care about him, and worried about whether he was safe.

"Sister, I'm here..." Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue and hugged her tighter. He reached out to smooth the tears on her face and called her softly.

This was the first time he used me instead of calling me "brother" or "orphan".

Just like an ordinary person, he hugged his beloved girl and coaxed her, telling her that he would always be by her side...

"Brother, are you hurt?"

"Brother, are they looking for you?"

Su Yingxue calmed down and looked at the boy in front of her with tearful eyes. The boy had taken off his mask, revealing a handsome face in the moonlight.

"Yes, they are looking for me." Chu Xingchen whispered, "But don't worry, sister. I can protect myself and I can protect you."

Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue, his mind in turmoil. So, his sister was also worried about him just now, wasn't she?

"They're looking for you..." Su Yingxue suddenly remembered something. She lifted up his sleeves to check and asked, "Then you must have been stabbed..."

"Let me see, is it serious?" Su Yingxue whispered. Perhaps she herself didn't even realize that at this moment, she didn't call herself "this palace" to disguise herself, but directly called herself "I".

When she lifted the boy's sleeves in the moonlight, the shocking and hideous knife marks on his arms were revealed to her.

"Are you hurt? A-di..." She was inexplicably flustered, "How did you get hurt?"

"Did you take the medicine?"

Su Yingxue looked at the wounds that had burst open and were bleeding from the fight just now, and her heart ached for no reason.

Su Yingxue gently pulled Chu Xingchen's hand and asked him to sit on the bed, while she used a tinder to light the lamp beside the bed.

The dim candlelight intertwined with light and dark was lit, and the warm light filled the originally dark room and shone on the two people, making them feel particularly warm.

Two figures, facing each other, the candlelight falls on the ground, and two long shadows accompany each other.
