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

"What are you thinking about, sister? Why are you smiling so brightly?" Chu Xingchen's voice was low and hoarse. His eyes were deep, as if there was an unfathomable entanglement, and he was deeply fixed on the woman leaning on the couch in front of him.

Su Yingxue is indeed blessed with a stunningly beautiful face, even though she is now suffering from illness, her face is pale, her eye circles are slightly dark, and her eyebrows and eyes look a little haggard.

But her extremely bright smile just now was like the rising sun in winter, and also like Lin Daiyu with a bit of natural charm. Even Chu Xingchen, a man with a heart as cold as black iron, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her bright and beautiful smile just now.

Chu Xingchen suddenly recalled that day at the bottom of the cold lake. When he swam towards her, she had already thrashed about in the water and lost consciousness. She stopped struggling, closed her eyes and slowly sank, like a well-behaved white rabbit falling asleep.

As he swam towards her and embraced her slender waist, Su Yingxue's instinctive desire to survive made her unconsciously grab anything close to her. Her hands suddenly grasped his clothes as if they were floating wood in the water, and she held him in her arms.

Chu Xingchen saw Su Yingxue for the first time, her dark hair scattered in the water, her skin white and lips red, as quiet as a jade rabbit in a coma. She was well-behaved and bright, like a water lily waiting to bloom, quietly and silently blossoming before his eyes.

The lake water was icy cold and had already soaked her brocade clothes. The clothes, which had absorbed water, clung tightly to her body, showing off her graceful figure to the fullest.

Su Yingxue was two years older than him, more mature, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Su Yingxue's features were delicate and exquisite, and now in the water, her skin was even whiter and her lips were even redder.

Later, when Chu Xingchen finally took great pains to hold her in his arms and rescue her to the shore, he reached out to feel her breath. She fell to the ground dripping wet like a lifeless fish, yet she had the alluring beauty of a witch.

Chu Xingchen's eyes dimmed, and after a brief struggle, he finally laid her down, breathing heavily on her tender and tempting red lips painted with bright red lipstick.

After several times, Su Yingxue, who had already stopped breathing, suddenly choked on large mouthfuls of water. After choking, she still fell into a coma.

Seeing this, Chu Xingchen detected her breathing and then used his sleeve to wipe the lip balm off his mouth.

Su Yingxue was still in a coma. At this moment, she was soaked all over and lying on the grass in a mess. She was in a deep coma and unconscious, like a fragile sick beauty.

For some reason, Chu Xingchen, looking at her like this, suddenly remembered the slender waist he had held at the bottom of the lake just now. It was so soft. Equally soft was her red, delicate, and lipstick-coated cherry lips.

Recalling the scene just now, Chu Xing's cheeks flushed. He looked at her with deep eyes, but saw that the lipstick on the corners of her lips seemed to be silently telling the story of the ambiguity between the two of them just now...

Chu Xingchen just looked at her smile and was attracted by her red lips for some reason. She had just woken up from a serious illness today and was not wearing any makeup or lipstick, but despite this, the color of her lips was that light pink, like the rising sun, with a natural beauty.

He gazed at her delicate blush with deep eyes, and somehow recalled the soft touch of that day. Chu Xingchen's eyes were deep, and the fair skin on his cheeks was quietly flushed with an almost inaudible blush.

Chu Xingchen, have you been bewitched by this witch? Are you crazy? Chu Xingchen asked coldly in his heart.

Do you remember that she took the lead in torturing you?

Do you remember that you had a miserable life since childhood, and it was all thanks to her?

After doing this several times, his eyes returned to their original coldness. He raised his head to hide his emotions, replaced them with a smile, as if showing concern, and asked softly.

Su Yingxue's fantasy was suddenly interrupted by Chu Xingchen's voice. She felt a little embarrassed as if she was caught distracted. She subconsciously smiled and scratched her head silently, thinking that she couldn't tell him that she was thinking about how to match him with his official partner Su Liyue in the future, right?

After all, it was indeed Su Yingxue who had wronged him in the past. Now she has become Su Yingxue. Perhaps it would be a good thing to match him with his official partner Su Liyue and give them a happy ending this time.

Su Yingxue said softly, "No, I just heard from Qiu Shuang that my brother has been practicing diligently these past few days and has received praise from Mr. Liu. I'm really happy for him."

Qiu Shuang stood aside and heard this. She immediately looked in the direction of her master, staring deeply at him, and complained in her heart, "Your Highness, are you serious? When did I tell you today that Mr. Liu praised Prince Chu?"

But as a first-class maid serving Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has always had some insight into serving her master and understanding her thoughts over the years.

Qiu Shuang quickly turned back to the silent Prince Chu, smiled sweetly and said gently, "Prince Chu, it is indeed so. Her Royal Highness the Princess is very concerned about Prince Chu."

Chu Xingchen's face turned cold when he heard this, but he was always like this, and Su Yingxue and Qiu Shuang had long been accustomed to it.

Care? What kind of care? The care that wanted him to be her lover? Chu Xingchen scoffed inwardly.

For some reason, when Chu Xingchen heard this, the slight hesitation that had arisen in his heart was instantly drowned out by disgust. Seeing that she was fine, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

In the end, as long as Su Yingxue survived, it was fine. As for the rest, he didn't care.

······

After Chu Xingchen left, Qiu Shuang cleared away the bowls and cups for Su Yingxue, then carefully brought her the medicine. The imperial physician had instructed her to take the medicine after the meal.

Su Yingxue disliked the bitter medicine very much, but good medicine tastes bitter. Moreover, Qiu Shuang always handed her a cup of golden dates brewed with osmanthus honey made by Xia He after she finished drinking the medicine. The extreme bitterness was matched with the sweetness that melted in the mouth. I have to say, I felt that my tongue was wrapped in sweetness and saved.

Su Yingxue loved sweets, and lately, most of the medicinal soups she'd been drinking had been incredibly bitter, so a bite of sweet dates was essential. Fortunately, her four first-class maids each had their own strengths. Xia He was an excellent cook, not only knew how to make candied dates, but also, under the guidance of the imperial physician, had been preparing herbal meals for a while to help her recuperate.

After Qiu Shuang finished administering the medicine, she massaged her shoulders and rubbed her acupuncture points to loosen up her muscles and promote blood circulation. At the same time, she softly said, "Your Highness, I've noticed that Prince Chu seems to be starting to warm up with Your Highness."

"Why do you think so?" Su Yingxue asked softly.

"Normally, if you didn't visit him, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to look for you." Qiu Shuang smiled, massaging her body, which had become stiff from lying in bed for so long, and explained to her with a smile, "But ever since you were injured and poisoned and fell unconscious, Prince Chu has made time to come to the Princess' Palace to see you every week, without fail."
