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

After returning home, Song Qinian regretted his decision somewhat. He wasn't one to create trouble for himself, but since he had already agreed, he had no choice but to find books and prepare his lessons.

After teaching her once, he discovered that although Xu Shuwan had never been to school, she was really smart and could grasp many concepts quickly and learn them in no time.

In this way, he inevitably found joy in being a teacher and took the task of teaching Xu Shuwan to read seriously.

Moreover, since he started interacting with Xu Shuwan, he found that he seemed to see her more frequently these days.

While doing farm work, he would occasionally catch Xu Shuwan yawning; after finishing work, he would also glimpse Xu Shuwan walking home alone, carrying her farm tools; sometimes, he would even see her holding a cornbread, her cheeks bulging out like a hamster...

As the number of times increased, he gradually began to actively observe Xu Shuwan. He could always spot what she was doing in a crowd at a glance, which added some fun to his otherwise monotonous life.

On the other hand, Lin Shuya was also actively trying to get closer to Song Qinian.

Although Song Qinian appeared gentle, he maintained a distance from everyone, making it impossible to truly connect with them.

After repeatedly hitting a wall in front of him, Lin Shuya gave up the idea of ​​clinging to his coattails and began to turn her attention to Xu Shuwan.

The book only briefly touches on Xu Shuwan's childhood, but it's clear that she never ate anything good. Lin Shuya bought some of the cheapest fruit candies from the supply and marketing cooperative, trying to use this to get closer to Xu Shuwan.

Given Xu Shuwan's personality, she naturally couldn't accept it, but on the surface, she did become much closer to Lin Shuya.

That day, Song Qinian finished his routine teaching duties and was about to leave when Xu Shuwan stopped him.

Xu Shuwan took out a few wild eggs from her basket and said to him, "Song Zhiqing, I picked these up. Could you please give them to Lin Zhiqing for me?"

Song Qinian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Lin Zhiqing?"

"It's Lin Shuya, an educated youth. She's been taking good care of me lately, befriending me, and even treating me to fruit candies. I don't have anything to give her, so I thought I'd pick some wild eggs to help her recover."

When Lin Shuya was mentioned, Xu Shuwan's tone became more intimate, as if she had a good impression of her.

Song Qinian frowned. He didn't like this woman with her calculating eyes, but seeing Xu Shuwan's expression, he didn't say much. He just asked, "So how do you plan to explain the origin of these eggs to her?"

"I... I'll just say I found it on the mountain," Xu Shuwan stammered under Song Qinian's slightly serious gaze.

"If she tells others that the eggs were a gift from you, how do you think your family will react?" he pressed.

"Lin Zhiqing probably won't tell, right?" Xu Shuwan hesitated.

"If other people see me giving her eggs, does she have to say it was you who gave them to her, or that I gave them to her?" Song Qinian retorted.

"Is that okay?" Xu Shuwan looked at him with surprise, seemingly agreeing with the idea.

"No way!" Song Qinian laughed angrily, his words laced with sarcasm. "Do you think she genuinely wants to befriend you? Back at the educated youth settlement, she gave everyone else pastries, but she only offered you fruit candy. What do you think you are to her?"

“But, from childhood to adulthood, she’s the only one who’s ever treated me to candy and been willing to be my friend. Besides, I don’t have anything to offer her.” Xu Shuwan lowered her head in disappointment.

Song Qinian sighed, and with a touch of tenderness, patted her head: "Am I not your friend?"

"Really? Song Zhiqing, you're willing to be my friend?" Xu Shuwan looked up with surprise in her eyes, her joy almost overflowing, but she also had some concerns. "Song Zhiqing is beautiful and talented. Are you really willing to be friends with someone like me?"

"Someone like you?"

“I’m such a jinx.” Xu Shuwan lowered her head, shrinking back into her shell like a snail. “My father and mother both died because of me.”

Song Qinian felt a slight pang in his heart, but commanded firmly, "Xu Shuwan, look up and into my eyes."

After she looked at him with a puzzled expression, he said seriously, "Xu Shuwan, your parents' situation is just a coincidence. It's not your fault. On the contrary, every time you want something, it appears immediately. Doesn't that mean you're actually a lucky star? Moreover, in my eyes, Xu Shuwan is smart, capable, beautiful, and lucky. I'm honored to be her friend."

As Xu Shuwan listened, her eyes welled up with tears. This time, she didn't lower her head again. With a hint of grievance, she said to Song Qinian, "Song Zhiqing, you are so good to me. You are a good person."

Song Qinian felt helpless and a little heartbroken after being given the "good guy" card again. A thought seemed to flash through his mind, but he ignored it. He could only emphasize to Xu Shuwan, "Don't get too close to Lin Shuya. If she makes any requests of you in the future, you must not agree. Remember to come back and tell me, and I will help you analyze it. Got it?"

"remember."

"Also, the fact that you're always lucky enough to catch wild animals must not be known to anyone else except me. I've already learned how to set traps, so you should use your luck less in the future. Who knows what will happen if you use it too much?"

Xu Shuwan obediently agreed, a sly glint in her eyes, and said, "Song Zhiqing, you're a bit like my father. The father I imagined was just like you."

Song Qinian gently tapped her forehead and chuckled, "Now you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me, huh? You even dare to complain about my nagging. Alright, from now on, just call me by my name in private. I'll bring you chocolate next time, so you won't happily follow someone who just gives you something and end up being sold out without even realizing it."

Xu Shuwan simply covered her forehead, stared at him blankly with a smile, and softly called out, "Song Qinian."

Looking at her, Song Qinian couldn't help but smile.
