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

Shi Qi sat at his desk, his face so gloomy it looked like ink was about to drip from it.

007 asked cautiously, "Host, are you angry?"

"No." Although it seemed very obvious, Shi Qi still denied it outright.

It took him a long time to calm down before he raised his hand and made a phone call. Soon after, a message arrived on Shi Qi's phone…

It was nearly nine o'clock, and Jiang Zhiyi was still sitting dejectedly on the edge of the bed, the dim light of the bedside lamp illuminating his reddened eyes. Actually, he had already come to terms with it last night; if it weren't for Shi Qi's confession, he could have had a more dignified life…

Just then, the phone screen lying to the side lit up. Jiang Zhiyi glanced at it and saw the words "Xiao Qi". Although he didn't want to face Shi Qi right now, he still picked up the phone.

Xiaoqi: "Go downstairs now, or I'll go up and knock on the door."

The time has come up?! This was a situation Jiang Zhiyi had not anticipated.

Shi Qi leaned against the car, and soon after, a tall figure walked out of the corridor and stopped in front of him. Jiang Zhiyi was still wearing the same clothes he had worn during the day.

He stood in front of Shi Qi, unsure how to begin. After a long pause, he asked, "Did you drive here yourself?"

Shi Qi gave him a cold glance, then unlocked his phone and handed it to him.

Jiang Zhiyi took the phone and looked at the contents. In the light of the phone, Shi Qi saw his reddened eyes. After a moment, he handed the phone back to Shi Qi: "You know everything?"

"why did not you tell me?"

Jiang Zhiyi's voice was hoarse: "Actually, I've already figured it out. If it weren't for what happened today..."

Shi Qi interrupted him: "If it weren't for today's incident, you could have just pretended nothing happened, transferred the account, and waited for me to forget about you?"

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent, which was clearly an admission of agreement.

Shi Qi lowered his head and sent a message. At this moment, Jiang Zhiyi spoke up: "I thought you liked someone else..."

There was no answer. Shi Qi then made another call. While waiting, he said, "You don't want my help." This was a statement.

After he finished speaking, the call was connected, and Shi Qi said:

"Since then... Ye Jiaojiao asked you to persuade Jiang Zhiyi to leave?"

"What she said is null and void. Jiang Zhiyi will attend school as usual on Monday. If Ye Jiaojiao has any problems, tell her to come see me in person." (Hangs up the phone)

"Is it the principal?"

It was accepted by default from that time onwards.

In fact, Jiang Zhiyi knew perfectly well that Shi Qi could resolve the issue with just a few words, but even if it was only because of their friendship, he didn't want there to be any one-sided interests between them.

It's an imbalance in the relationship between two people, and little by little, it can ruin even the most beautiful feelings.

Shi Qi: "I know what you're thinking. Putting aside personal feelings, from a businessman's perspective, helping you now is a sure-fire investment."

"Your future is limitless, and I will be the biggest beneficiary of this deal. If I were you, I would accept your help without any qualms. Understand?"

These words were completely unlike anything Shi Qi would say, but Jiang Zhiyi didn't see anything wrong with them. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Who can say for sure about the future?" This was the first time he had ever heard Shi Qi say so much.

"You're right, but I, Shi Qi, have always been a madman. I've supported a complete stranger for so many years, so why wouldn't I support you?"

Having said all he needed to say, Shi Qi opened the car door to leave, but before he could even lift his foot, a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back sharply. Then, Jiang Zhiyi's face loomed close…

Shi Qi struggled a few times, but Jiang Zhiyi was holding her too closely, and she couldn't break free at all.

Jiang Zhiyi's movements were clumsy yet restrained. He stopped after a while, but still maintained the posture of embracing Shi Qi. Shi Qi did not push him away, but did not hug him back either.

He rested his chin on Shi Qi's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Qi, I like you."

----

On Monday, Jiang Zhiyi came to school as usual and chatted with Shi Qi.

Ye Jiaojiao saw it and was furious, but she couldn't afford to offend Shi Qi. Before Shi Qi made a move, she couldn't let others know that she and Shi Qi had fallen out.

Just as he looked at Jiang Zhiyi, Shi Qi, who was beside him, also looked at her and returned her a chilling smile.

Jiang Zhiyi, who had his back to this side, saw Shi Qi suddenly laughing in another direction, raised his hand to turn Shi Qi's face towards him, and said something.

Then Shi Qi gave him a stiff smile, which was strange but contained no malice.

The smile lasted only a few seconds before Shi Qi's lips curled down: "Satisfied now?"

Jiang Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction, a smile reaching his eyes. "It looks really good."

007: "You lie without even thinking. Your laughter just now made me feel embarrassed."

"Shut up."

Ye Jiaojiao shivered. He instinctively felt that he should make a move on her. Jiang Weiyuan was not as good as Jiang Zhiyi to begin with, and now he was even more unreliable. What should he do?

----

To his surprise, Shi Qi didn't touch her, as if he was about to disappear from her world.

Soon, a year had passed in the blink of an eye. January 1st of that year was Shi Qi's 18th birthday, a day of double joy for the Shi family. Shi Zheng immediately decided to hold a grand banquet, and coincidentally, the date was the same as his own birthday.

During this period, with Jiang Zhiyi's strong support and his own unremitting efforts, Shi Qi successfully achieved a ranking of 32nd in the last monthly exam. Generally speaking, ranking within the top 40 should be sufficient for admission to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Early in the morning, Shi Qi received a call from Jiang Zhiyi: "Xiao Qi, happy birthday! Happy New Year too!" Although he had sent Shi Qi a message last night, it was definitely more solemn to say it in person.

"Well, Happy New Year."

"If today weren't New Year's Day, I would love to spend the whole day with you."

"I'll sneak out to see you when I have some free time." It was as calm as if she were stating something perfectly normal. Even though it involved sneaking out of her own birthday party…

A soft laugh came from the other end: "Okay, good."

After getting up, Lin Jingwen saw Jiang Zhiyi busy in the kitchen: "Xiao Yi, you seem very happy today?"

"Have it?"

Lin Jingwen nodded and pointed to the corner of her mouth: "You can even smile while cooking... Tell Mom, are you in love?"

Jiang Zhiyi shook his head: "No, it's just that I happen to be in a good mood today." It's not the right time yet; he's afraid of upsetting his mother.

Lin Jingwen wasn't entirely convinced; she'd seen Jiang Zhiyi grinning foolishly at his phone screen more than once. But she didn't pressure him, simply saying, "I don't object to you dating, as long as it doesn't affect your grades."

On the other side, He Shuyao and Shi Qi were sitting in the back seat of the car, while Shi Zheng was not with them.

He Shuyao: "You didn't invite Xiao Yi?"

Having been in this world for so long, this is the first time Shi Qi has worn a suit: "No."

He Shuyao thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's true. He only has one mother. If he were her mother, I wouldn't be happy to spend this rare holiday with you."

Don't you know the reason? Then, I heard my mother say, "It's my fault for not being born a day later."

Shi Qi: "..."
