Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Even the feeling of being embraced is so similar...

The two looked at each other, remained silent for a moment, and then immediately separated.

Jiang Zhiyi himself was also very confused. He clearly did not have the habit of holding things before, so how could this happen as soon as he slept with someone else?

Although the scene was truly awkward, both of them acted as if nothing had happened. Jiang Zhiyi left after having breakfast at the Shi family's house…

At dinner time, Shi Zheng returned home, and the conversation took place at the familiar dinner table.

Shi Zheng asked with a serious expression, "If I remember correctly, your monthly exam is next week, right?"

He immediately began to respond.

Politics: "Your mother and I have decided that we can no longer let you continue down this path of depravity."

"If you're still in the bottom 50 of your grade in this monthly exam, I'll have to find you a tutor, and you won't be able to rest on weekends anymore."

Shi Qi inwardly cheered, but outwardly he looked at He Shuyao with questioning eyes, and she nodded with a reluctant expression.

Although Shi Qi felt that this requirement was already low enough, it was definitely very difficult for the original owner, who was ranked last.

So, with a look of resistance, she said, "You're making things difficult for me."

The political commentator lamented, "To help you focus on your studies in your second year of high school, I even canceled your Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) class. What more do you want?"

He Shuyao tugged at his sleeve: "Alright, don't be so harsh with your words."

Clearly, He Shuyao's persuasion was very effective, and Shi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, there's no room for discussion on this matter."

Shortly after returning to his room, Shi Qi received a message from Jiang Zhiyi.

Yi Shi (Jiang Zhiyi): Do you need me to help you with the exam questions for next week's monthly exam?

Timeup: No need. My dad said he'd hire a tutor for me if I don't do well on the test again.

Jiang Zhiyi immediately grasped his idea: then they could study openly and legitimately?

Timeup: "That's right, let me make this clear first, this result doesn't represent my true ability." His Chinese and English are still very good.

Initially: "OK, I understand."

'Jiang Zhiyi's favorability +2'

Upon hearing this notification, Shi Qi was speechless. So he must be hiding behind his phone, secretly laughing, right?

Shi Qi turned off his phone because he was feeling cold, and then opened his workbook again.

007: "Host, aren't you bored studying like this every day just to complete side quests?" He had heard that most humans didn't like studying.

Shi Qi shook his head, focusing his attention on the question: "It's alright."

Actually, he quite misses that feeling—immersing himself in different subjects, always having endless exercises and assignments, seemingly busy, but actually fulfilling. This is a common thought that most adults have after starting their careers.

Moreover, he himself felt a deep longing, whereas others merely reminisced. He dropped out of school in the second year of junior high and began working as a child laborer in various remote shops to make a living.

Those were the darkest years of his life. Later, he became an actor, but because he refused to follow the unspoken rules, he was sidelined for several years.

Therefore, even though this is not his life, he cherishes this opportunity, and being a student also makes him feel much more relaxed.

The next day, the school

"Class, let's have a quick class meeting." The homeroom teacher clapped her hands to quiet the students in the classroom.

"Tomorrow, we will have our first monthly exam of the semester. I hope every student can give their best and show the strength that our class should have." After a passionate speech, he asked, "Do you all have confidence?"

"Yes!" The students present responded enthusiastically, and the homeroom teacher was very satisfied.

Only then did he notice someone at the back of the classroom with their head down, seemingly fiddling with something. So he lifted the person up: "Shi Qi?"

Upon hearing the sound, I unconsciously stood up.

What are your thoughts on what I just said?

Uh... what did we just talk about? He was so focused on looking at the questions on his phone down there.

Jiang Zhiyi realized that he might not have heard him earlier, so he wrote a few large characters on his notebook and stood it up to show the real person.

Shi Qi glanced at it and replied, "Confidence? It's alright. I'll try my best not to get last place."

The classroom fell silent instantly, with most of the students desperately trying to suppress their laughter.

Only Jiang Zhiyi and the homeroom teacher truly empathized—it was so frustrating.

The homeroom teacher sighed almost imperceptibly: "Alright, sit down... Class monitor, arrange for a few people to set up the exam room after school."

The class monitor was very considerate and arranged for those who were supposed to stay for evening self-study. Because there were many students in class (1) who were going to evening self-study, and because everyone naturally admired the academic genius, Jiang Zhiyi was not conscripted.

Shi Qi: "If you're free, how about we chat?"

Jiang Zhiyi nodded.

The classroom was almost empty. Jiang Zhiyi turned around and sat facing Shi Qi. Looking past Jiang Zhiyi, he saw Ye Jiaojiao hesitate for a moment, but in the end, she left.

Why is there a different person next to you?

"Research shows that having a same-sex deskmate is more helpful for academic improvement."

...That was quite righteous and indignant, but Shi Qi wasn't about to let the conversation end there. He frowned and asked, "You mean, having her next to you will attract your attention?"

Shi Qi's expression made Jiang Zhiyi subconsciously think that he wanted to stay away from Ye Jiaojiao, because, in his opinion, Shi Qi liked Ye Jiaojiao. So, he naturally thought of Ye Jiaojiao's provocation that day.

'Fate Value -5'

Jiang Zhiyi frowned as well: "Even if something happened to you, and he didn't say a word of concern, you still like her?"

Shi Qi looked at him in surprise upon hearing this: "Who told you I like her?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "You don't like her?"

"I wouldn't say I like it, it's just a disobedient toy."

Such a tone was somewhat uncomfortable, and Jiang Zhiyi seemed to have grasped the meaning of what Ye Jiaojiao meant by "abnormal".

He tentatively asked, "Do you think it's accurate to compare people to toys?"

Shi Qi did not give a direct answer: "He has never taken me seriously either."

Jiang Zhiyi sensed the malice in those words, but he saw no need to persuade Shi Qi. After all, Ye Jiaojiao was no pushover either. He had already done more than enough by not telling him what she had said about Shi Qi.

The conversation ended abruptly, and the two left the classroom side by side.

Ye Jiaojiao stopped them: "Jiang Zhiyi, I have something to say to you." Then she turned to Shi Qi, her expression reassuring: "Can I come to your house to find you later?"

Shi Qi glanced at her quietly, then nodded, "You two talk." He then put his hands in his pockets and left alone.

Seeing that Shi Qi had walked away, Ye Jiaojiao finally spoke, "Why did you ask the homeroom teacher to move my seat?" Her tone was accusatory.

Jiang Zhiyi replied indifferently, "For no reason."

Ye Jiaojiao: "I don't believe I've ever done anything to hinder you."

"Then let me ask you, what is the purpose of being my deskmate?"

"..."

Before she could speak, Jiang Zhiyi gave the answer: "Use me to deal with Shi Qi, am I right?" Ever since he heard Ye Jiaojiao's words last time, Jiang Zhiyi had roughly guessed it.

Ye Jiaojiao knew that defending herself at this moment would be the most foolish choice, so she could only admit: "Yes, I want to deal with him because I don't want to be treated as a tool by my parents anymore, nor do I want to be his dog anymore!" She couldn't help but shout it out.

After calming down a bit, she said, "Everyone around me is forcing me to do things I don't like, and I really can't take it anymore... Even so, do you still think I'm the one in the wrong?"

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent for a moment, not wanting to be too absolute, but finally spoke: "No one can force someone who resolutely resists." He meant that Ye Jiaojiao's current predicament was solely due to her own weakness.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiaojiao could no longer defend herself: "I understand." She turned and left.

'Fate Value -10'

While sitting in the car, Shi Qi was speechless...
