In the quick transmigration story, the most popular female supporting character is both delicate and

Lu Jingyu's eyes held a warning, his voice icy and chilling, "Is that so?"

Shen Qihuan was so frightened that she stammered, "It was...it was me, I was careless."

Lu Jingyu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Hmm, it was your own carelessness."

Shen Qihuan felt a lingering fear. She had never known that Lu Jingyu had this side to him; it was truly terrifying.

But when she looked up at Lu Jingyu again, she saw that he had regained his usual gentle and cheerful expression.

So, she must have misread it, right?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to speak to Yunyao again.

Anyway, Yun Yao can't stay in the Yun family any longer. From now on, she and they will be two different kinds of people, and there will be no more interaction between them. There's no need to mention her anymore.

Yun Yao stared blankly as Lu Jingyu carried Shen Qihuan away. She wanted to say that she hadn't pushed Shen Qihuan.

But before she could speak, Yun Shiyue whispered, "I know it wasn't you."

A look of surprise flashed in Yun Yao's eyes. "You knew?"

Yun Shiyue held her chin, turned her face towards him, and raised his hand to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth. "You were so focused on eating cake that you didn't even know to guard against someone's tricks."

Yun Yao looked very aggrieved, her pupils glistening with tears. "What? I was just eating a cake."

How could she have known that Shen Qihuan could cause trouble while she was eating a cake?

Yun Shiyue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a smile flashing in his eyes, "So next time I can't leave your side for even a moment, I have to protect you properly."

"Stay by my side?" Yun Yao found this statement rather strange...

Yun Shiyue half-squatted down, his warm hands encircling her knees. Before she could react, he easily lifted her up until they were at eye level.

Yun Yao subconsciously reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, her voice hesitant, "Where are we going?"

"go home."

Yun Shiyue took Yun Yao to the apartment he used to live in.

The apartment is in a great location; Yunyao stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and can see the entire night view of Beijing.

The city's nightscape after power outages now appears more understated and luxurious compared to the previous dazzling LED lights.

Yun Yao was a little jealous of Yun Shiyue. No wonder he hadn't been home before; it turned out his apartment was so nice.

Yun Shiyue looked at the person standing in front of the French window, reluctant to leave, and his handsome eyebrows curved slightly. "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight, and you can sleep in the bed."

Yun Yao turned around and looked at Yun Shiyue, somewhat surprised, "I sleep in the bed?"

Yun Shiyue's gaze was deep, and his voice was somewhat hoarse, "Yun Yao."

"Ok?"

“…It’s alright,” Yun Shiyue said, his gaze slightly narrowed. “There are new bath towels in the room, you can use them.”

For a moment, he almost wanted to tell him his feelings directly.

But let's take it slow and let her accept it...

Yun Yao entered the room and was just about to go into the bathroom to take a shower.

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated a few times...

It was a message sent to her by Qi Funan.

[Do you have time right now?]

Yun Yao was just about to send a message saying she was going to take a shower.

The next second, another message came in: [I only have half an hour, I specifically skipped work to come out...]

Did you skip work specifically to come out? Then there must be some urgent matter.

Yun Yao sent him a message: [Okay.]

Send me your address, and I'll come find you.

[Um. ]

Yun Yao pushed open the door and went out, seeing Yun Shiyue leaning against the door. "Did you need something?"

"No, I was just worried you wouldn't be able to find it."

"Oh... well, I have something to do, I'd like to go out for a bit."

Yun Shiyue's gaze was dark and dangerous. "Where to?"

"My classmate is looking for me, he's downstairs..."

"I'll go down with you."

"...No need." Why does it sound like he's afraid she'll run away? Come to think of it, she doesn't owe him any money, does she?

Even if she spent that much money before, it probably wouldn't amount to much in Yun Shiyue's eyes...

"The neighborhood hasn't been very safe lately, so I'll wait for you here."

"...", is the security situation bad?

If the neighborhood isn't safe, then what about the places she lived in before... were they considered expensive?

Although Yun Shiyue found his lame excuse amusing, he still casually put his arm around the person and led them out, saying, "Don't keep your classmate waiting, hurry up and come downstairs."

Take the elevator to the first floor.

Yun Shiyue grabbed Yun Yao's wrist. "I'm a little sleepy. Let's finish our conversation as soon as possible and go upstairs to sleep."

"Sleepy?" She really couldn't see any sign of him being sleepy...

While upstairs, Yun Yao opened the community gate for Qi Funan, and now he's come in and standing downstairs.

Yun Yao pushed open the door and went out.

Yun Shiyue was standing at the door waiting for her...

Qi Funan's gaze first fell on Yun Yao, and then on Yun Shiyue.

The words I wanted to say suddenly got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't speak.

Yun Yao wondered why he hadn't spoken after coming all this way to see her...

"looking for me?"

“I…” Qi Funan looked down at the things in his hands, then put them behind his back. “It’s nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I will definitely pay you back the money I borrowed from you.”

"That's it?" You skipped work just to say this?

Yun Yao noticed that he kept one hand behind his back, as if he was hiding something he wanted to give her but was too embarrassed to. "What are you holding in your hand?"

At that moment, a gust of wind blew from not far away, and the boy's thick, black short hair flowed with the wind, revealing his smooth and full forehead.

He had a high, straight nose, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing a sharp, cold jawline. "It's nothing."

Yun Yao pretended to turn around, "If you won't let me see, then I'll go upstairs."

"Hey, wait a minute," Qi Funan grabbed her fair wrist and pulled her back.

He raised his wrist sheepishly, his fingers loosening slightly, and a necklace dangled from between his fingers.

Under the streetlights, the necklace shimmered with a tiny, dazzling light.

The once unrestrained and carefree boy, who was indifferent to everything, at a certain moment sincerely and awkwardly expressed his not-so-bright feelings.

"I know it's your birthday today, but the store manager suddenly scheduled me for a full day of work, so I couldn't get away. I could only take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people around now and skip work to come see you."

"Thank you." Yun Yao took the necklace from his hand, her clear eyes curving slightly, a glimmer in them. "I like it very much."

"And..." Qi Funan took out a small transparent glass box from his pocket and handed it to her, "Yun Yao, here's a star for you."

Several fireflies flew inside the small box, like an ever-burning lamp in the silent night.

Yun Yao looked at the firefly in his palm and couldn't help but sigh.

"Qi Funan, this sounds like the way you woo a girl. Even if you think I pay you too much, you don't have to repay me like this. I'm easily moved."

Qi Funan chuckled softly, his laughter like a clear mountain stream in summer, melodious and clear. "Really?"

"fake."

"Ahem," someone coughed lightly, realizing they had been laughing too smugly. "Okay."

Seeing the two chatting so happily, Yun Shiyue's face darkened.

He took out his phone and texted Yun Yao, "I'm so sleepy, hurry up."

Yun Yao saw the message on her phone, then glanced back at someone...

Qi Funan followed her gaze and asked, "What's that?"

"I'm staying with him temporarily," she said. Having been kicked out of the Yun family home, she could no longer claim Yun Shiyue as anyone to her...
