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

Sure enough, seeing the vulnerability in his eyes, I tightened my grip on his hand even more.

Ji Qiuzhe lowered his head with satisfaction and took a small sip of the tea with its emerald green leaves floating in it, a silent smile playing on his lips.

Aunt Pang still had work to do, so she went to get busy.

The two waited for about 15 minutes, and then the sound of rhythmic high heels stomping on the floor echoed down the corridor.

Ji Qiuzhe put down his nearly empty teacup and looked towards the door.

A figure in a black velvet dress walked in without exchanging pleasantries. She sat down in an office chair and calmly looked at Ji Qiuzhe and the other person.

"If you have anything to do, tell me."

This is Dean Chen.

The woman was very elegant, with a well-defined bone structure. Her thick, beautiful hair was neatly combed, giving her the appearance of a somewhat aloof Yan Jin.

Judging from the original owner's memories, Dean Chen, who was over fifty years old but well-maintained and looked like he was in his thirties, was undoubtedly the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Although she works as a caretaker of orphans, she rarely interacts with the children and only speaks when necessary. As a result, most of the children in the facility are somewhat afraid of her.

Including the original owner.

In fact, the original owner knew that she would appear at each child's bedside every night at a set time, carefully tucking them in.

【003, please exchange one hundred Grade A peace charms for me.】

[Okay, host. It has been sent to your in-game store inventory.]

Ji Qiuzhe took out one, held it in his palm, and handed it to the dean.

"Mrs. Chen, this is a good luck charm that I specially obtained a few days ago. I'm giving it to you."

The young man's expression was sincere, and his clear eyes revealed undisguised concern and genuine affection.

Stared at with such a naked and direct gaze, even Dean Chen, who was used to a cold face, couldn't help but soften his expression, but he had no intention of reaching out to take the peace charm.

"Keep it for yourself, I don't need it."

"Please accept this. I saw some people from the Xuanmen sect on the street a few days ago. I'm afraid there are evil spirits causing trouble here. I specially went to Qingxuan Temple to get this peace talisman. It's said to be particularly effective..."

Qingxuan Temple is the most famous temple in South China City, with incense burning year-round and talismans being extremely difficult to obtain.

Although the origin of the talisman is false, the presence of people from the Xuanmen sect is true.

In the original world, a mischievous ghost did appear in this small city, but its ghostly power was low and posed no threat, so it was easily eliminated by the Xuanmen people.

Dean Chen looked at the young man's stubborn hand that refused to retract, and after a long while, he finally accepted the amulet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Qiuzhe touched Dean Chen's finger and injected a stream of spiritual energy into her body.

A-grade amulets can resist one non-fatal injury. Carrying them with you regularly can also prevent you from being invaded by common evil spirits.

Originally, it was already a sufficient guarantee, but he outwardly complied with Zhao Tiansheng while inwardly defying him. Zhao Tiansheng is a vindictive person and a proud and arrogant young man. If he was tricked, he would definitely take his anger out on Dean Chen.

Ji Qiuzhe dared not gamble; it would be safer to go for two more layers of protection.

With a spiritual connection, if Zhao Tiansheng were to harm Dean Chen or anyone else in the orphanage, he would be able to sense it immediately and come to their aid.

"Thank you. If there's nothing else, you should head back soon."

Dean Chen started to shoo them away, but seeing their hands clasped together, he added, "Of course, you can also take him for a stroll in the backyard."

"it is good."

Ji Qiuzhe, being the original owner of this body, dared not talk too much with Dean Chen, a woman who appeared intelligent and shrewd, for fear of revealing his true colors. He only gave her special instructions before leaving:

"This talisman is waterproof, so Headmistress Mama must keep it on her body at all times and never take it off."

"understood."

Dean Chen waved his hand and looked down at the documents on the table.

Ji Qiuzhe didn't linger and took Li Yu's hand as they walked away.

After everyone had walked away, the woman, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised her head, stared at the empty doorway for a while, then looked away and carefully rubbed the orange-yellow amulet in her hand.

the other side.

Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu went downstairs and looked at the white exterior wall, which appeared exceptionally bright under the light.

"Your Highness, would you like to take a look at the backyard?"

The backyard that Dean Chen mentioned is nothing special; it's just where the children in the orphanage stay.

Li Yu silently looked at her and Ji Qiuzhe's hands, which were still clasped together and had never let go, and hummed in agreement.

"Let's go then."

Ji Qiuzhe led him to Aunt Pang, who was cleaning, and gave her the remaining amulets, instructing her to make sure that each child carried them with them. Only then did he lead Ji Qiuzhe around to the backyard accommodation area.

It was not yet noon, and the accommodation area was very quiet.

Following the original owner's memories, Ji Qiuzhe pulled Li Yu to a stop in front of a small room with a blue-painted door. On the wall next to the door hung a sign with a cartoon lion on it, with the number '302' written in cartoon font. The style was cute, and it was clear that it had been made with care.

The door to room 302 was half-open. Ji Qiuzhe gently pushed it open and was met with complete darkness. The room's windows were small and the curtains were drawn, so it wasn't bright.

With the light filtering in from the doorway, four small beds were vaguely visible inside, each covered with a blue and white checkered three-piece bedding set.

Ji Qiuzhe pointed to the third bed and said to Li Yu, "Look, that's the bed I've slept in for over ten years."

Li Yu looked at the cramped little bed, less than a meter wide, imagining the little Ji Qiuzhe lying on it, and then looked at the young man with delicate features in front of him.

As if possessed, he asked, "Are you sad?"

Having never received parental love since childhood, growing up in an orphanage, having no friends, I wander alone in this small yet vast city.

"Not upset."

To be honest, none of these things were his life, so he couldn't really feel sad.

But his insincere words and his head that was almost drooping to the ground made him look pitiful, even more so than the homeless Yellow Ear.

Without hesitation, Li Yu reached out and gently pulled the person into his arms.

“You can be sad with me.”

Ji Qiuzhe lifted his head from his embrace and, taking advantage of the situation, asked, "Then how will Your Highness comfort me?"

Li Yu looked into the round eyes of the person in his arms, which had an inexplicable innocence and contained undisguised expectation and trust, making one want to tease them.

His eyes darkened, and he released his grip, intending to keep some distance, otherwise he was afraid he might not be able to resist doing something excessive to him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ji Qiuzhe took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss his lips deeply.

"Well……"

I hit my teeth because I used too much force.

Ji Qiuzhe showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he exerted force, forcing Li Yu to take a few steps back and pinning him against the door. Then he chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I couldn't help myself."

As she spoke, before Li Yu could recover from his shock, she deftly pried open his lips and teeth with her tongue, forcing him to endure the passionate kiss.
