Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Ni Qing wasn't sure what the reason was, but it was definitely related to the male lead.

She looked at the test subject again, her eyes filled with a barely perceptible caution and apprehension.

"What did you just do?" she asked coldly.

Number One blinked, tilted his head, and remained silent.

Judging from the current situation, He seems to only be able to say a few words and not yet speak complete sentences.

She picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed a number: "It's me."

The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie was flattered: "Doctor, what's wrong?"

"Send a file containing the details of Subject One to my computer. Also," she glanced at Him casually, "no one is allowed to approach the test subject without my permission. If anything happens, you will be responsible for the consequences."

After giving a detailed explanation, he stopped looking into Number One's eyes and strode away.

Her authority was evident to all in the base; her words were like imperial edicts, and her subordinates were simply responsible for carrying them out.

Of course, some people have questioned her professional competence because of her age and appearance, and accused her of using excessively cruel methods, willing to go to any lengths for research.

At that time, the original owner had worked continuously for 20 hours, wearing a spotless white coat, with a barely perceptible fatigue between her brows.

A scalpel of blood accidentally splattered onto her cheek, but she simply wiped it away slowly before turning her indifferent eyes to the person.

"so what?"

Yeah, so what? Will their protests change anything? Of course not. Her research findings are all renowned, that's an undeniable fact.

The staff member who had just finished the communication snapped out of his thoughts and meticulously gave the order: "The doctor said, do not approach the experimental subjects."

After he left, the remaining staff began to whisper among themselves.

"We brought the test subjects here, and we're just going to leave them here?"

"Why doesn't the doctor seem to care? This is our only hope for the future."

"Do you think what's written in this report is true?"

"Of course it's true, what? Do you think I'd lie to you?"

Some of these researchers were transferred from other bases to help out, and some had never even had contact with Ni Qing before. They were even somewhat puzzled by those who were afraid of her.

She was just a woman.

Moreover, the experimental subjects were not offensive at the original base, so why are there so many rules and regulations here? It's hard not to suspect the doctor's intentions.

However, when you're on someone else's turf, you can't be blatant about it.

Half a month passed, and the doctor still hadn't made a move, which made the people at the base very anxious.

"I wish I hadn't sent it over."

"If it hadn't been sent over, it would probably be more than halfway through the research by now."

Their resentment grew stronger with each passing day, and they even decided to sneak a peek at the experimental subjects when the administrators weren't looking.

The room where Number One was being held remained as quiet and tidy as ever. Strangely, such an important research subject was not guarded.

The test subject seemed to have heard the noise, and slowly walked to the glass, his gray eyes scrutinizing her.

"Growing so fast..." The leader looked surprised.

What I saw before was a little boy of about five years old, but now he has reached the waist of an adult and looks like he is ten years old.

Hair, appearance, and so on are almost all enlarged proportionally.

Faced with those unusually dark eyes, some of them dared not look directly at them.

He lowered his eyelashes, lost in thought, and when the other party's cautious gaze came again, he finally smiled.

"Holy crap! Assistant Zhang, it can actually smile, why is it so creepy!" The person behind couldn't see the leader's expression, but his eyes reflected the experimental subject's ambiguous smile.

Zhang Hong, who was transferred from another base to assist the doctor in researching experimental subjects, has been unable to use his skills for so many days, which inevitably makes him irritable and dissatisfied.

So after waiting for half a month with no progress, they resolutely instigated the other personnel who had come from the original base to come and see what the doctor was up to.

With Zhang Hong backing them up, the others naturally didn't hesitate any longer. After all, they were genuinely curious about Him—was He unafraid of water and fire? They really wanted to see for themselves.

Zhang Hong seemed not to hear their exclamations. He stood quietly for a while, then slowly stepped forward and pressed the door open button before anyone could react.

"Assistant Zhang, what are you doing!"

"The doctor will definitely blame us if he sees this, and neither of us can afford the consequences. Close the door now!"

The others panicked, but they didn't know where the door-closing button was.

Zhang Hong remained silent, and anyone who paid close attention would notice that his gaze was vacant, as if he were hypnotized.

Amidst the chaos, the silver-haired boy steadily walked out of the laboratory.

Fortunately, it was just a momentary panic. One of them calmed down and said, "So what if he's out? He won't hit or kill anyone. Look how scared you are of a little kid."

Some people were speechless. A child wouldn't panic like this, but look at Him! Silver hair, gray eyes—he didn't look like a normal child at all!

The chaos on their end hadn't yet reached Ni Qing's ears. The time-travel agency she lived in was more futuristic than the present.

These ancient Earth artifacts were somewhat strange to her. The intense sunlight accelerated the evaporation of the ocean, causing many unknown creatures to emerge from the deep sea to the surface, some of which were collected at the research base for study.

It is highly entertaining.

"Is the Doctor home?!" A sudden, loud knocking came from outside the door.

Ni Qing frowned and put down the Turritopsis dohrnii specimen in her hand: "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

The staff outside raised their voices: "Number One has escaped!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the laboratory door was flung open.

The doctor's face was even more grim than before: "Didn't I say no one is allowed to come near? How did they suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

The staff member said nervously, "I don't know either, but Assistant Zhang led it to the deep-sea area, so I rushed over to call you."

Ni Qing's vision went black.

When they arrived, they saw several staff members in white coats gathered together, looking anxious. When they saw her, they immediately felt a little guilty.

"What are you all doing gathered here? Where are the test subjects?"

She rebuked him coldly.

They looked at each other in bewilderment. Assistant Zhang seemed to be possessed, insisting on showing the brothers something new, and dragged them directly to the deep-sea area that was normally off-limits.

As the name suggests, this place is home to deep-sea creatures never seen before, some highly aggressive and others gentle. They vary in size and are brightly colored, inspiring awe in those who behold them.

Seeing that they couldn't speak for a long time, Ni Qing knew she couldn't count on them, so she immediately pushed through the crowd and saw Zhang Hong standing at the very back, his face pale.

Behind them is a wide, deep pool where gentle marine life is kept.

But that's not the point. The point is that the experimental subject she's been searching for all day is floating on the water.

She almost didn't recognize him; he'd grown so much.

The other person floated on the ground, barely alive. His exquisite and alluring face was pale, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembled, and layers of water splashed onto his mouth and nose.

Ni Qing's heart skipped a beat. In the plot the system gave her, wasn't the male lead supposed to be immune to water and fire? Why does he seem to be drowning?

Seeing the male protagonist being swept away by the current again, she could only grit her teeth and leap into the water with her slender body like a nimble fish, easily reaching the place where he had sunk.

Take a deep breath and dive down to find the person.

She wasn't a very good swimmer and could only vaguely see a shadow. But she still swam over with all her might, grabbed his arm, and tried to swim upwards.

But as soon as they touched Him, the other person opened their eyes.

His gray eyes were crystal clear in the water, and he looked calm and composed, showing no sign of drowning.
