Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

The car arrived at the Lin family's house quickly.

Lin Weixia opened the door: "Ayan, Jiang, you're here! Please come in. Mom, Ayan and his girlfriend are here!"

As I entered, a woman with a gentle demeanor, whose features bore a resemblance to Lin Weixia but possessed a more mature and refined air, came out to greet me.

When she saw Lu Yan, her smile reached her eyes: "Little Yan is here! Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Her gaze then fell on Jiang Shuwan next to Lu Yan, and her smile deepened: "You must be Xiao Yan's girlfriend, right? Xia Xia and Xiao Yan both mentioned you to me. You're really beautiful."

"Aunt Lin, this is Jiang Shuwan, my girlfriend," Lu Yan formally introduced her.

"Hello, Aunt Lin." Jiang Shuwan greeted her politely, offering the fruit and pastries she had just bought.

"Oh, good, good!!" Aunt Lin warmly took Jiang Shuwan's hand, her eyes filled with undisguised affection. "This is the first time Xiao Yan has brought a girl home! Please sit down, please sit down. Xiaxia, go pour some tea!"

The living room isn't large, but it's decorated warmly and comfortably, exuding a sense of home.

Jiang Shuwan was a little reserved, but Lin Wei was very talkative and even talked about Lu Yan when he was a child, which immediately opened up the conversation.

"When Xiao Yan was little, he was a well-behaved and handsome child, but he was too quiet, so quiet that it broke your heart."

Aunt Lin held Jiang Shuwan's hand and recalled, "Because it was right next door, I often saw him sitting alone on a small stool in his yard reading a book, or just staring blankly at the sky, without playing with the other children."

“The nanny didn’t care either. If I hadn’t gone to pick Xiaxia up from school one time and heard from the teacher that Xiaoyan hadn’t come to school for two days and wasn’t answering his phone, I wouldn’t have known that he wasn’t eating much at home.”

“Once, it was raining heavily, and I figured his parents weren’t home, so I went to check on him. I found he had a fever, his face was flushed, and he was delirious. The nanny had gone out to play cards again, and I couldn’t get through to her on the phone!”

Aunt Lin was still a little angry and scared when she talked about it. "If I hadn't found out, I don't know how long he would have had a fever. This child is so sensible. When the fever broke and he woke up, the first thing he said was not that he felt uncomfortable, but that he whispered to me, 'Thank you, Aunt Lin, for the trouble'... Sigh, he was so young at that time."

Jiang Shuwan listened quietly, her heart tightening, and she couldn't help but look at Lu Yan sitting on the sofa next to her.

He lowered his eyelashes and quietly sipped his tea. When she looked over, he simply smiled reassuringly, as if distancing himself from that memory: "Aunt Lin, that was so long ago, there's no need to talk about it anymore. I'm doing very well now."

"Yes, it's the New Year, so I won't mention these unpleasant things."

Aunt Lin patted Jiang Shuwan's hand, her voice soft and earnest: "Shuwan, I'm really happy that you could come today. Xiaoyan is a thoughtful child who likes to keep things to himself. I'm always worried that he's too lonely."

"But now it's all good. Xiao Yan brought you here, which shows that he really cares about you. I also hope that you two can stay together and be happy."

Jiang Shuwan felt a lump in her throat and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Aunt Lin, we will. Thank you for taking care of Lu Yan."

She met Lu Yan's gaze: "From now on, I'll take care of Lu Yan."

……

When I left the Lin family's house, it was already close to dusk.

Aunt Lin held Jiang Shuwan's hand and gave her several more instructions. She even insisted on giving her a jar of her homemade osmanthus honey and told Lin Weixia to see them to the door.

After leaving the house, Lin Weixia followed them silently for a while.

Suddenly, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Ayan, Jiang."

She stopped and turned to face them, her expression calm. "There were some things I couldn't say in front of my mother earlier, but now... I want to talk to you, mainly to talk to Jiang."

Jiang Shuwan was slightly taken aback and looked at her.

Lin Weixia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Jiang. When I heard Ayan say that you two were dating, I reacted a bit too strongly. I haven't even congratulated you on getting together yet."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." Jiang Shuwan quickly waved her hand. "It's nothing serious, there's no need to do this."

Lin Weixia frankly said, "Because we grew up together, I got used to his company and may have mistaken it for affection. It was Ayu who made me see my heart clearly."

"Uh, I might be rambling a bit." Lin Weixia scratched her face. "Anyway, what I want to say is that he's a very closed-off person, and you're the only one who can get in. I hope you two can stay together for a long time."

“I understand, Lin,” Jiang Shuwan replied sincerely. “Thank you for telling me this.”

"Okay, I've said what I wanted to say. It's been so frustrating to keep it all inside."

Lin Weixia breathed a sigh of relief, a genuinely relaxed smile appearing on her face for the first time that day. She looked at Jiang Shuwan and said, "So, are we friends now? Can I just call you Shuwan? You can also call me Weixia."

Jiang Shuwan nodded: "Okay, Wei Xia."

"Great."

She then looked at Lu Yan, her tone returning to the familiar, teasing tone of their childhood friendship, "Ayan, you'd better treat her well, don't be too sarcastic. Shu Wan is very popular at school, be careful you don't drive her away."

Lu Yan: "..."

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, I'll leave you here then." Lin Weixia waved to them. "Take care on your journey, Shuwan. Let's hang out together next time!"

"Okay, goodbye Wei Xia." Jiang Shuwan waved goodbye as well.

Watching Lin Weixia turn and walk away, Jiang Shuwan looked up at Lu Yan and found that he was also looking at her with deep eyes.

She couldn't help but shake off their tightly clasped hands, jokingly saying, "Did you hear that, Lu Da Shen? I'm really popular at school, so you'd better treat me well, or I'll run away!"

"What should we do then? How about we go to the supermarket now?" Lu Yan raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Shuwan tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Why are you going to the supermarket? What do you want to buy?"

Lu Yan said, "Yes, go buy a rope and tie us up tightly, that way you won't be able to run away."

Jiang Shuwan exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, I didn't expect Lu Yan to be so capable of taking the hard line. Is it too late for me to ask for a refund now?"

"I'm afraid that won't work." Lu Yan looked into her eyes. "The goods have already been shipped out, and no refunds will be given."

Jiang Shuwan blushed slightly, but an inexplicable impulse made her tiptoe and plant a kiss on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth.

After the kiss, she lowered her head somewhat shyly and whispered, "Okay, then I'll stamp the goods first, and from now on they'll belong to me alone."

"This kind of chapter might not work."

Lu Yan cupped her face in his hands, bent down, and gently placed his lips on hers. "Now it's a proper cover."

All was quiet, with only two hearts pounding wildly.

Their eyes met, then darted away; neither dared to look at the other.

Only when a car horn sounded in the distance did Lu Yan, feigning composure, take her hand again and hold it in his palm: "Let's go."

As night deepened and the lights dimmed, only two long shadows remained, gradually drawing closer and merging into one.
