Quick Transmigration: I'm Just a Male Supporting Character, Why Does Everyone Love Me?

“Xianxian, my brother said he has a lead on your family.”

As soon as the teacher left after the class ended, Li Yan pulled him aside and said something.

"Really? Where?"

Shu Xian responded, feigning urgency.

He had completely forgotten about looking for his family. It wouldn't be good to suddenly tell them that he wasn't going to look for them anymore, so he could only slowly find an opportunity to tell them later.

“My brother told you personally, so come with me now.”

Li Yan pulled him and tried to walk out.

Tang Muxing, who had been silently watching Shu Xian, called out softly, "Xianxian."

Looking at him with a wronged expression and biting her lip, Shu Xian knew without a doubt that he was imagining his wife leaving him again.

So cute! Shu Xian stepped forward, cupped his face, and rubbed her nose against his, saying, "Good boy, I'm not going to leave you."

"He can't go."

Li Yan was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to powder. Tang Muxing was really good at pretending.

Shu Xian turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled.

"My brother said I can only take you with me."

Li Yan added.

"Okay," Shu Xian looked at Tang Muxing apologetically.

"It's okay, Xianxian, go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to appear understanding in front of his rival. Besides, he couldn't bear to put Shu Xian in a difficult position, since his wife loved him anyway.

Tang Muxing glanced at Li Yan behind Shu Xian, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

What good would it do if they called them? It wouldn't change the fact that Shu Xian loved him.

He chuckled, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he looked at Li Yan.

"Okay, Tangtang, have a good meal later. I'll be right back."

Shu Xian patted his head affectionately. Although Tang Muxing didn't say anything, given his sensitive and fragile nature, he must be very unhappy eating alone. She would make it up to him later that night.

Led by Li Yan, the two arrived at "Haochilou" and found themselves in the same private room as before.

"Sit down, let's eat first."

Li An rose from the head seat, pulled out a chair closer to the head seat for Shu Xian, and gestured for him to sit down.

Shu Xian, who originally wanted to sit further away from Li An, felt embarrassed to refuse, so she simply thanked him and sat down.

Li Yan was sitting next to him.

No, do you really have to sit so close together at a table that can seat seven or eight people?

Shu Xian suddenly felt a bit crowded.

"Eat amaranth."

Li Yan put some fish on his plate, and after he finished eating, Li An put some ribs on his plate. "These ribs are good too."

"Thank you."

The two brothers didn't fight or grab; they would take turns picking up pieces of food, always waiting for Shuxian to finish before picking up the next piece.

His bowl wasn't stuffed full of food, so he had no reason to refuse and could only thank them one by one. Finally, he finished eating despite the strange atmosphere.

"I'm stuffed."

Shu Xian picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth and secretly glanced at the Li brothers, Li An and Li Yan.

"Xianxian, can I call you that too?"

Li An turned his head to look at him, his voice trailing off, a lazy tone that was neither a smile nor a laugh.

"Uh, okay."

Shu Xian nodded slightly. Could he say no? He was currently in a situation where he needed something from him.

Li An is like a ticking time bomb, but sometimes his smile makes you feel gentle and kind, and he's easy to get along with.

Sometimes, his smile doesn't reach his eyes, making him seem unpredictable, as if he's hiding some unknown danger.

"I was lucky to meet you that day, you saved me."

"Oh, it was just a coincidence, it was nothing, don't worry about it."

Let it go! Of course, we should keep it in mind!

That was just his way of putting on airs.

He's forced to work overtime to take care of you until the early hours of the morning. You'd better be sensible and repay him handsomely.

Shu Xian thought to herself.

"No, I wouldn't exist without you. I will repay you properly."

"I can do anything for you."

Li An looked at him, the fervor in his eyes gradually coalescing into a bright light.

He deliberately enunciated the words, making his voice thicker and hoarser, as if it carried a hint of coaxing.

Shu Xian ignored his burning gaze, didn't look at him, and waved her hand, saying, "You're too kind, you're too kind."

The idea that I wouldn't exist without you is a bit of an exaggeration.

Shu Xian even suspected that if he asked Li An to plow one acre of land for him now, he would probably plow ten acres for him.

Are your family members important to you?

Li Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm...it's alright, I just wanted to know."

If the previous mission to find his family were still available, he would have said it was important without hesitation. Now that there's no mission, he just wants them to stop looking.

"If they are not what you imagined, or if they don't accept you, will you be sad?"

Li An's tone... does it mean he's found it?

[The 006 family-finding missions are over, will they ever reappear?]

Is it really necessary to add a few more NPC family members?

[Host, since this is not a main character, the NPC who canceled the mission should no longer exist.]

[Okay, okay. 】

He was too lazy to put on another act of recognizing relatives.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if we can't find it."

After confirming with 006 that there were no NPC family members, Shu Xian comforted them instead.

Li An wasn't actually looking for her; he had personally witnessed Shu Xian appear out of nowhere in the beggar's den.

That day, Li Cheng from a branch of the family set a trap for him, but fortunately he noticed in advance and escaped.

Li Cheng anticipated his escape, and ambushes were set up along the way, with a large, dark group of people, clearly indicating that Li Cheng intended to silence him.

Alone, he could only keep running, as the men in black drew ever closer. In desperation, he changed direction and ran into a small alley.

When he reached a dead end with no way out, Li An looked up at the sky and knew something was wrong. He had never believed in Buddhism, but he prayed that God would let him live a few more days so that he could kill the branch of the family that coveted the Li family.

Just as I lowered my head, a strong wind suddenly blew up.

A makeshift shed made of bamboo poles suddenly appeared before them, with haystacks scattered on the ground. Several people lying on the haystacks were dressed in tattered clothes, their bodies covered in black grime.

Even by the moonlight, it was impossible to tell whether they were sleeping or dead.

In that critical moment, he didn't care about anything else and went straight into the shed. The shabby shed acted as a barrier, and the man in black who came into the alley seemed not to see the shed or notice anything unusual.

The group searched around casually for a bit and then left the alley.

Just as Li An breathed a sigh of relief, a raggedly dressed boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The boy was so white it was dazzling; he didn't look like a beggar at all, but rather like a young master from some wealthy family who had sneaked out to play.

Perhaps the shed couldn't block out the noise, because the man in black who had just come out ran back when he heard the commotion.

The man in black with the knife frightened the boy so much that he also lay down on the ground. Even in his fright, he didn't forget to find a cushion to lie on, muttering to himself, "The haystack is so dirty."

The boy shifted and climbed onto his back, propping himself up with his elbows, causing Li An, whose skull was swollen, to groan.

The boy covered his mouth in fright, saying in a language the boy couldn't understand, "Don't be afraid, NPCs are very brave."

However, Li An could still tell that he was trying to comfort him.

Even after the man in black left, the boy showed no sign of leaving. Li An was curious about what he wanted to do, so he lay down in the beggar's hut without moving.

Observe him quietly.
