Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

The cave entrance wasn't very narrow, but it was rugged and uneven. Lu Liruan couldn't see it even when she turned upside down. She tried to climb it twice, but her clothes got caught on the loose rocks both times.

I have to meet people later, and I can't possibly wear tattered clothes to a royal banquet.

Lu Liruan could only retreat, shrinking herself even smaller and squeezing inside.

There were no watches in this era, which was so inconvenient. The female lead just showed up without us noticing!

Despite the lingering chill of early spring, Lu Liruan felt increasingly anxious.

Finally, she passed through smoothly. Lu Liruan knelt on the ground, reaching out with her arms to drag the stones up and arrange them.

Then crawl out by yourself, push the pile of stones with all your might, and you're done.

The first stone was piled up at the edge of the cave entrance, and Lu Liruan went to get the second one.

Suddenly, I heard a soft sound behind me, the sound of something rolling over the ground.

The sound, like dry tree branches being crushed, reached Lu Liruan's ears, who was under intense mental stress, and startled her.

Lu Liruan turned around abruptly!

She almost screamed in surprise. Just three or four steps away from her, a man was sitting upright in a wheelchair.

The weather wasn't sunny today; the sky was overcast and low, and the wind blew through the bare branches and the man's clothes.

The atmosphere was eerie.

The man was dressed in a black robe with a gold dragon-patterned belt around his waist. His dark hair was neatly styled with a jade crown, and he wore a dark fox fur cloak over it.

His face was handsome yet dignified and imposing. His eyes were lowered, and he glanced at the wheelchair with the same scrutinizing gaze one would give an object. His long, beautiful fingers, as white as jade, were adorned with obsidian rings and rested on the armrests of his wheelchair.

Lu Liruan didn't need to confirm; she knew he must be Crown Prince Ji Shumin.

For the first time, I clearly felt that this was the so-called countenance of an emperor.

"Thud." The sound of the stone rolling down was particularly clear in the silent stillness.

Lu Liruan was completely at a loss for words. Just the sight of Ji Shumin sitting there made her throat tighten and she unconsciously tensed up.

Wait a minute... how come he's in the yard right now?

Ji Shumin had the same problem.

He sat alone under a withered tree in the courtyard. This courtyard was where he used to study as a child. The peach tree in the courtyard bloomed about half a month earlier than the peach tree in the Imperial Garden every year.

But this year, the trees are lifeless and gloomy, with many branches withered and easily broken by the wind.

Even the old pine tree that named this courtyard is grayish-brown with sparse needles.

Before my thoughts could run wild, I heard a rustling sound from the wall, and then a foot wearing an embroidered shoe peeked in.

Peek in, then pull back; poke in, then pull back...

Back and forth, the restless people wanted to grab them and drag them in or shove them out!

Ji Shumin patiently waited until he saw the brightly colored thing roll in, still holding a stone in its hand.

"Ah--"

He chuckled softly.

"Trying to kill me? Smash me to death with a stone?" He parted his thin lips slightly, asking with a sneer.

Lu Liruan: ?

"Let's see if you can succeed! Come on, you want to take my life? Let's see if you have the ability!"

……

Why is someone clamoring to have someone kill him? Lu Liruan was completely baffled.

"Hello... hello," Lu Liruan stammered in a panic.

"I'm sorry! Are you blind?" Ji Shumin's expression hardened. "What, before your master ordered you to take my life, you still want to humiliate me?"

"Is this person sick?" Lu Liruan's eyes widened.

Oh, he is indeed sick, or rather, he is disabled.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ji Shumin leaned back in his wheelchair, his gaze sweeping over with a sinister and ruthless intensity.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince." Regardless of the circumstances, it's always good to pay respects first, right? Lu Liruan said as she prepared to get up.

"How dare you! Who, who is it! Daring to break into the Crown Prince's residence!"

Before he could even get up, a little eunuch rushed over carrying a huge broom, stammering and shouting loudly.

"Smack—" Lu Liruan watched as Ji Shumin casually took off the priceless ring and threw it at her.

"If you keep making that noise, I'll rip out your tongue, roast it, and make you eat it!"

The little eunuch knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, but dared not utter a sound.

……

Lu Liruan felt that Ji Shumin's disability might not be physical, but mental.

I had always thought that descriptions of him as sinister, violent, and terrifying were merely hearsay and later writings.

I never expected... it was all true.

Lu Liruan wanted to cover her mouth for a moment.

"What, aren't you going to make a move?"

"I was just passing by when I noticed a dog hole under this beautiful courtyard wall, so I thought I'd... fix it up," Lu Liruan said, not even believing it herself.

Ji Shumin remained silent, coldly staring at Lu Liruan, then snorted, "Kneel down and speak. Seeing you standing makes me furious."

Lu Liruan: ...This is really weird. If you become emperor in the future, are you going to cut off everyone's calves?

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Unable to fathom the true nature of this Crown Prince, who appeared to suffer from severe mental illness, Lu Liruan decided not to provoke him.

Gritting my teeth, I figured I'd been kneeling to heaven, earth, and even the dead anyway; whoever I knelt to would be the first to die...

Lu Liruan's mental victory formula.

But before he could even bend his knees, suddenly, another sound came from the dog hole.

Then, Lu Liruan and Ji Shumin watched silently and motionlessly as something crawled in backwards from outside.

See? I told you it's easier to climb upside down this way, and you don't have to worry about damaging your clothes...

Ji Shumin: ...

Lu Liruan: ……

What a lively dog ​​hole!

"Ah!" Turning her head, the girl in red who had just entered screamed in fright at the sight of three pairs of eyes staring at her.

The three people were Ji Shumin, Lu Liruan, and a trembling eunuch kneeling to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

"Where is this? Why are there so many people?" the girl in red asked in a clear voice.

"How dare you! How dare you trespass on His Highness the Crown Prince's residence!" The little eunuch practically hissed out the words.

The girl in red had the handsome features of a young man and the carefree spirit of a young woman. She saw Ji Shumin sitting in a wheelchair.

She stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!" She used the greeting of a military officer.

"I was unaware that His Highness the Crown Prince resided here. My trespassing was unintentional." Her movements were nimble and agile, quite different from those of the average young lady in the capital.

Ji Shumin did not make any sarcastic remarks this time.

Lu Liruan's heart tightened, and her gaze darted between the two of them.

Seriously? She was the first one to crawl in, and you two were gazing deeply into each other's eyes under the bare branches. You already have feelings for her?

What? We both crawled in one after the other, like we were having a team-building activity through a dog hole, and you fell for her at first sight? Probably not.

Holy crap, are you crazy?
