Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

He also hadn't forgotten how he almost died at Ji Qiuzhe's hands when they first met.

Even so, even knowing that he approached him with ulterior motives, he had no intention of letting go.

In the depths of his mind, a voice kept telling Li Yu to keep him here, no matter what method he used or whether he wanted to or not. If he dared to escape, even if his hands and feet were cut off and he was turned into a human pig, he could not be let go.

[Host, wake up! If you keep sleeping, I'm afraid you'll lose your arms and legs without even knowing it.]

003 was almost scared out of his wits; the villain was looking at his host as if he wanted to devour him.

【Don't make noise.】

Ji Qiuzhe found it noisy.

His perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, so how could he not know that Li Yu was watching him?

He not only knew this, but he also knew that every night before, Li Yu had stared at him with that same look, and that he would stare at him all night long.

But so what?

This is his lover. He has known and loved her all his life and has long understood her true nature. Even if this world is another fragment of her soul, there will not be much difference in essence.

Ordinary people might feel uncomfortable being stared at like that, but Ji Qiuzhe felt incredibly safe. If he could, he would be willing to be watched like that by his lover at all times.

003: ...

003 felt wronged, but didn't say anything, letting the host understand on their own.

Looking at the listless system, Ji Qiuzhe decisively brought up the system panel and performed a series of operations.

[Ding! System card credited: 100 million points.]

003: Dull gaze.jpg

003 Shocked: [Host!!! Did you transfer the wrong money?]

[You didn't transfer it to the wrong person. Here's a little money I promised you in the last world. Take it and spend it.]

Just a little bit of money!!!

This is a quarter of the host's earnings from the last world!

As a system, 003 receives 10% of the host's reward for each small world mission completed with the host. In the last world, it received 40 points, even with the host enjoying double points.

As a result, the little pocket money his host casually gave him was equivalent to the amount he had spent accompanying him through two and a half worlds. How incredibly generous!

If he weren't afraid of being beaten by the host, he would have knelt down and called him "Dad" on the spot.

Dad, I'm hungry, I need food.

Of course, 003 only dared to call out like that in his mind.

On the surface, he only said awkwardly, "Thank you, host. You're so kind."

drop!

Your "good guy" card has been credited to your account.

Okay, I don't need to sleep anymore.

Ji Qiuzhe resignedly opened his eyes. After 003's commotion, he felt so clear-headed that he could go downstairs and run ten kilometers.

Running is out of the question.

It would be a waste not to do something on such a beautiful morning.

Without hesitation, he grabbed at Li Yu's shirt, pretending to be still half-asleep, and accurately moved his head up to kiss the man's soft lips.

After the kiss, she pretended to be startled by her own actions, looking at Li Yu shyly and awkwardly.

"Your Highness... I didn't mean to..."

It's just a harmless little trick.

Li Yu pursed his lips, clearly seeing the cunning in the man's eyes. He didn't express any opinion, pretending that nothing had happened, and got up to straighten his clothes that Ji Qiuzhe had crumpled.

Only he knows how deeply he was moved.

"Go wash up when you wake up."

what the hell……

He doesn't give any reaction at all. Has his charm declined that much?

[003, why hasn't the affection level been activated yet? Is the system malfunctioning?]

Upon hearing this, 003 exited the system store's skin sales page and checked the villain's favorability rating, only to see that it still showed the words "not activated" in large letters.

[It's not broken, it's definitely not down to 45%, host.]

How can it be?

Ji Qiuzhe didn't believe it. He had easily triggered the favorability in the previous world, so why was the progress so slow in this world?

Is it really because he hasn't tried hard enough?

With this thought in mind, Ji Qiuzhe finished washing up absentmindedly, and then, like a lost soul, was led downstairs by Li Yu to have breakfast. Relying on the original owner's muscle memory, he mechanically took a taxi to the orphanage where the original owner had lived since childhood.

The orphanage was built in a remote suburb, surrounded by houses, but the building alone occupied a large area and looked quite magnificent.

The building is very old, and you can see from the outside that it has been neglected for many years.

Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu stood at the gate, looking at the typical European-style building through the fence.

The staggered triangular roofs connect to a series of archways, and the exquisite plaster relief patterns on the frames are covered with a little moss, making them look both old and beautiful.

Over the years, it lost its former glory, but in its twilight years, as it was about to decay, it was revitalized and became a haven for orphans.

It's hard to imagine that such a magnificent building would appear in such a remote place.

Ji Qiuzhe stepped forward and knocked on the somewhat rusty iron lock ring at the door.

Soon, a plump woman in an employee uniform rushed out to open the door. When she saw that it was Ji Qiuzhe, a smile appeared on her somewhat round face.

"It's Xiao Zhe back! Come in quickly!"

Good morning, Aunt Pang.

Ji Qiuzhe, carrying a large bag of fruit, led Li Yu into the courtyard.

The courtyard was somewhat empty, except for a small fountain pool directly opposite the gate, and only a few scattered peach trees, with lush branches and leaves, green with red tinges, and a few flower buds waiting to bloom.

"The dean is leading the children in their morning class right now. Why don't you go to his office and wait for a bit?"

Aunt Pang led Ji Qiuzhe and the other person up the winding staircase in the lobby to the second floor, and then followed the narrow corridor to the end of a room with a sign that read "Dean's Office" and sat down.

"Quickly, have some tea first."

Aunt Pang warmly brewed tea for the two of them.

After she finished pouring the tea, Ji Qiuzhe handed her the fruit he had brought.

"A little thought."

Aunt Pang didn't stand on ceremony and took it, saying, "Everything is fine in the hospital. I'm just happy that you can come back to visit me and the director often, Xiao Zhe. I know how you feel."

Many children have left the orphanage, but few have returned almost every month like Ji Qiuzhe has, without interruption for many years.

He's a grateful and kind child, but his life has been too hard.

Li Yu did not miss the heartache in Aunt Pang's eyes.

He reached out and covered Ji Qiuzhe's hand, which was resting on the chair. He felt a burning sensation from the semi-transparent ring on Ji Qiuzhe's index finger. The pain was fleeting, and he thought it was just his imagination.

Ji Qiuzhe was pondering how he could naturally touch the dean's body later, so that he could find an opportunity to place a restriction under her body. In this way, if she encountered danger, the protection mechanism could be triggered to save her life.

His hand was suddenly grasped, and he looked up in surprise, meeting Li Yu's eyes, which held a hint of concern.

Ji Qiuzhe: ?

He didn't notice what had just happened, but that didn't stop him from putting on a vulnerable expression to make Li Yu feel more sorry for him.
