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

Su Yingxue thought that she couldn't blame Zhang Susu for always having some little thoughts and strategies in mind.

Because if she fails to successfully conquer her target, she and Su Yingxue's body will be destroyed in this strange world.

······

"Sister Axue, Brother Mo, the man you care so much about, is nervously competing over there, but you're so relaxed, sipping tea here without any worries?"

Situ Qingming stood there for a long time, and her legs finally felt sore. Moreover, she was a descendant of a military commander, and had an open-minded personality, so she didn't care about winning or losing.

Situ Qingming wasn't like the other noble and talented women of Kyoto, each of whom was eager to sharpen their heads and compete for the top spot. For her, with her father's military achievements, she could live a carefree and glorious life. She didn't need to earn anything to prove herself, so naturally she was a bit lazy.

"Sister Qingming, please don't tease me. Are you the only one allowed to take a break, and not my younger sister?" Su Yingxue smiled and took Sister Qingming's hand, talking and laughing.

"You, even though you are sitting far away, my eyes have never left Brother Mo." Situ Qingming is very insightful and naturally understands it.

Besides, Su Yingxue's thoughts were too obvious, and she and Qin Dong knew it well without anyone's reminder.

In the past few days, she and Qin Dong have been trying their best to create opportunities for her to help Su Yingxue, but they both have the character of boiling frogs in warm water, and they still seem so unfamiliar with each other.

As for Su Yingxue, she didn't seem to know how to grasp people's hearts and timing like other women. And Mo Yunsheng, after spending so much time with him, she could see that he was just a bookish young man.

Situ Qingming could admit that he was extremely handsome, talented, modest, polite and gentle as jade.

Because of this, Mo Yunsheng treats everyone the same. I'm afraid that in Mo Yunsheng's heart, he treats Sister Axue the same way he treats Qin Dong and her, just as friends in the same group. How could he understand Su Yingxue's thoughts at all?

This couple doesn't seem to be a good match, Situ Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

······

By the time the competition was about halfway through, Mo Yunsheng had already finished writing his poem and handed it to a servant beside him. According to the rules, to prevent leaks, contestants were not allowed to leave after completing the exam until the votes were counted.

Mo Yunsheng was one of the first students and beauties to hand in his paper, so he looked calm and composed, sitting elegantly and indifferently, waiting for the results.

After a stick of incense, people began writing poems on the screens one after another. When all the poems were copied, the voting began.

When everyone had almost finished casting their lots, Su Yingxue took Sister Qingming's hand and they went together to look at the poems on the screen.

Su Yingxue went through the whole process and finally chose a jade pot to cast lots based on her preference.

Seeing this, Situ Qingming couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Xue, I see that other people carefully consider and deliberate before throwing the lottery sticks. But why are you so careless?"

"Could it be that Sister Axue doesn't care whether Brother Mo can win or not?" Situ Qingming asked in a low voice.

"In Ah Xue's heart, she naturally hopes that Brother Mo will be able to win the competition and earn points due to his outstanding talent."

Su Yingxue heard this and said calmly, "It's just that in this world, everyone's fate is determined long ago. I believe that Brother Mo's talent can win this game, even without my vote."

"In this world, talented men and beautiful women are either striving for fame and fortune, or trying their best to find a good husband," Su Yingxue explained calmly, "but I feel that living like this is too tiring."

"In life, no matter where you go, whatever scenery you encounter is good. Even if one day, all your wishes are not fulfilled, all your thoughts are not realized, and all your dreams are in vain, that is my fate."

Su Yingxue looked at Situ Qingming beside her and said with a smile, "Since my fate has been determined, I will face it calmly. At least before the final outcome comes, I will live every day according to my heart, strive to live every day well, and live worthy of myself."

"It's good to live according to one's heart," Situ Qingming felt that Qin Xue, this sister, was particularly to her liking. She felt that Qin Xue was essentially the same free and easy-going person as she was, and that was why the two of them could become friends.

"Then I hope that you and I can live according to our hearts," Situ Qingming smiled and chose a poem he liked, throwing the brocade stick into the jade pot.

"It's just that, Xue, I feel that what you're thinking and saying is a bit pessimistic." As Situ Qingming and Xue walked back, she gently counseled Xue, "How could you know, Xue, that in the future, 'all your wishes will not be fulfilled, all your thoughts will not be realized, and all your thoughts will be in vain'?"

"After all, life is a long journey. You, I, and everyone else in the world are all busy and mediocre. We have to cross the river by feeling the stones and take one step at a time. This world is so fair. No one can see the future fortune, and no one knows what the future will be like." Situ Qingming said softly.

"Even so, why isn't it 'whatever you wish for granted, whatever you think for granted, whatever you wish for granted'?"

Situ Qingming asked seriously, "I just think, Sister Xue, you shouldn't assume the worst of everything, and you shouldn't always look so worried. At your age, you should be full of innocence and naivete. Why are you always like this?"

Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she suddenly started to think.

Yes, when did she start to change from the naive and innocent college student Zhang Susu in modern times to the uneasy and calculating person she is now, and the one who tries so hard to put herself in Su Yingxue's situation and think about it?

When did Zhang Susu start to think about her future through the lens of Su Yingxue's situation? When did she become someone who needed to scramble for a chance to survive?

Was it the etiquette and rules of the Great Sheng Dynasty in this otherworld that changed Zhang Susu? Was it the assassination attempt that nearly killed her that changed her? Or was it the life she had lived here that had subtly changed her?

When did it start that Zhang Susu's first subconscious reaction was to think of herself as Su Yingxue herself, rather than Zhang Susu?

Suddenly, Zhang Susu was speechless. She just felt that she had begun to integrate into this strange world, quietly adapting to her current life, and began to work hard to find ways to break the impasse.

Zhang Susu might not be that carefree deep down in her heart. She might be afraid that she would end up being skinned alive by Chu Xingchen, so she had already made the worst plan in her heart.

That's why she said today, "What I wish for cannot be fulfilled, what I wish for cannot be realized, and all my thoughts are in vain."

Because deep down, Zhang Susu was also afraid that she would not be modern enough when she returned. She hadn't seen her parents for a long time, even though one year in the other world was just one day in real life.

But now, her longing for her parents is growing day by day, like a vine that entwines and grows, and the longing always takes root in her heart and breaks through the ground.
