Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Ning Yi took a bite of the dumpling and said with satisfaction, "It's really delicious."

After she finished one, she asked Ji Yan, "Would you like to try one of mine?"

“Mine will definitely taste better than yours,” Ning Yi said, looking at him expectantly.

He couldn't very well refuse. Seeing that Ji Yan didn't say anything, Ning Yan simply scooped one up with her spoon and placed it on Ji Yan's spoon: "Don't worry, it's still very clean. I'll only eat one."

Ji Yan looked down at the unusually colored dumpling in the bowl, then slowly picked up his spoon and took a bite.

It's a bit sour, but the taste is not bad.

They finished eating the dumplings a short while later and went out again.

The streets and alleys here are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in preparation for the New Year's Eve celebrations, and the later it gets, the more people there are.

Fortunately, everyone is busy having fun and no one will notice Ji Yan. Besides, it's too cold, and many people are bundled up, so they don't need to worry.

"Are your hands cold?" Ning Yi tilted her head and looked at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan shook her head: "It's alright."

"I'll give you a hand warmer," Ning Yi said, taking out a hand warmer from her backpack and giving it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan looked at the pair of gloved, furry little hands that were handed over, his eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out and took the hand warmer she gave him.

They strolled around for a while longer before heading to the beach.

There were still quite a few people at the beach to celebrate the New Year, and the crowd has thinned out considerably by now.

Ji Yan was worried that Ning Yi would be bumped into, so he would sometimes reach out to protect her.

Ji Yan looked down at Ning Yi, who was standing right next to him. She was so small that her head only reached his shoulder, and he felt like she might be knocked over if he wasn't careful.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Ning Yi instinctively gripped Ji Yan's clothes tightly, afraid of getting separated from him.

They finally arrived at the beach, with more than an hour to go before New Year's Eve.

If you don't come now, you won't be able to come later, because there are more and more people.

But it was really cold at the beach.

Even though Ning Yi was wearing gloves, she couldn't help but rub her little hands together and blow air into them.

"Is it cold?"

"Can you still hold on?" Ji Yan asked worriedly from the side.

Ning Yi nodded: "It's okay, I can manage."

Even if it's cold, we have to persevere. This is a hard-won opportunity; how can we let the cold defeat us?

"Hey, I heard there will be fireworks over there in a bit."

"really?"

"Wow, that's great! Watching fireworks by the sea is so romantic!"

Some people nearby were discussing it.

Ning Yi looked at Ji Yan with delight: "Did you hear that? There will be fireworks later!"

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I heard you."

Looking at the waves on the beach, Ning Yi said, "This is my first time seeing the sea."

The first time I saw the sea after I came into this world was with Ji Yan.

Ji Yan looked at her, a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

"Brother Yan," Ning Yi suddenly called out softly.

"Hmm?" Ji Yan replied.

“You don’t dislike me, so can we give it a try?” Ning Yi mustered her courage and turned to look at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan's eyes trembled slightly, then a complex emotion appeared in them.

Ji Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yi, it will be very hard for you to be with me."

Ning Yi shook her head and said seriously, "But I think being with someone you truly love is happiness."

"It's all worth it, no matter how hard it is."

Ji Yan looked at her, seemingly hesitating about something.

"Do you like me?" Ning Yi bit her lip and continued to ask.

"Yes, I like it." Finally, Ji Yan confessed his deepest thoughts.

Ning Yi was overjoyed and looked up at him with a smile; she had finally received a satisfactory answer.

Ji Yan also smiled and gently stroked Ning Yi's head with his right hand.

He didn't know when he started to like her. In fact, he always felt that his feelings for Ning Yi were like those for a younger sister. Perhaps it was the day Ning Yi truly confessed to him that he began to examine this relationship.

He didn't want to hold Ning Yi back, and he was also afraid that he would confuse his feelings for Ning Yi with his own. But sometimes when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Ning Yi smiling at him.

"Oh right, I have a gift for you," Ning Yi suddenly remembered, and quickly took off her schoolbag.

Ning Yi took out a small bag from her schoolbag; it was already a little wrinkled.

"What is this?" Ji Yan asked softly.

Ning Yi smiled and took out the folded scarf from inside: "A New Year's gift for you."

Ji Yan was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect you to have prepared a gift for me."

Ji Yan reached out and took the scarf, then tied it around his neck. He straightened it and looked at Ning Yi, saying, "How is it?"

Ning Yi nodded repeatedly: "It looks good, it suits you very well."

He smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Thank you."

Ning Yi scratched her head sheepishly: "What's wrong with that? Besides, we're..."

"If I refuse you, will you still give it to me?" Ji Yan couldn't help but tease Ning Yi, seeing her like this.

Ning Yi blinked, then said confidently, "Yes, I will. Whether you agree or not, I will give it to you."

Even if you reject me, I won't give up.

Ji Yan's smile deepened.

He checked the time: "There are only a dozen minutes left until New Year's Eve."

Ning Yi moved a little closer to Ji Yan, wanting to be closer to him: "Yes, this is our first New Year's Eve together."

Ning Yi's subtle movements were all observed by him. He took the initiative to put his arm around Ning Yi's shoulder, pulled her slightly into his embrace, and whispered, "Are you cold?"

Ning Yi was a little flustered, not expecting Ji Yan to hug her directly, and she immediately felt her face getting hot.

"Um...it's okay," she said somewhat shyly.

Ji Yan looked down at her, his tone teasing: "Is your face red from the cold?"

Ning Yi understood what he meant and became even more embarrassed. She covered her face and said, "It's so cold, my face turned red from the cold."

Ji Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Ning Yi asked, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing." Ji Yan looked at the person in his arms, and the hand holding Ning Yi tightened its grip even more.

After a while, the people around started counting down.

宁意也跟着一起倒数，5、4、3、2、1。

Bells rang in the distance, and fireworks began to light up the other side of the sea.

Everyone started shouting "Happy New Year!" together.

Ning Yi excitedly pointed to the fireworks in the sky: "Look at the fireworks!"

Ji Yan lowered his head and whispered in Ning Yi's ear, "Happy New Year."

Ning Yi looked up, her eyes sparkling with joy, and said, "Ji Yan, Happy New Year!"

"Let's spend every New Year's Eve together from now on, okay?"

A wave of emotion washed over Ji Yan, and he gently embraced Ning Yi, saying, "Okay."
