Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Ji Chaoxi usually just listened from the side, while Qin Du was always busy working; neither of them spoke much.

When Ji Zhuxin saw Qin Du repairing a basket, she quickly nudged him, saying, "Go help your brother Qin Du out, instead of just sitting there like an idiot."

Qin's mother quickly said, "My sister doesn't know how to do it, don't let her do it, she'll hurt her hands."

Ji Zhuxin waved her hand and continued eating sunflower seeds: "Never mind her, she can't sit still anyway, so it's good to let her do some work."

Ji Chaoxi squatted awkwardly next to Qin Du, but she didn't know how to do it either. She hesitated and said, "Brother Qin Du, let me help you."

Qin Du completely ignored her.

Ji Chaoxi choked, glancing inside longingly. She wasn't her sister; she didn't know how to start a conversation.

Qin Du stood up and suddenly walked into the house. Ji Chaoxi saw him take out a low stool and place it behind her.

"It's alright, Brother Qin, please sit down."

Ji Chaoxi solicitously placed the stool behind Qin Du.

Qin Du didn't even glance at her.

Ji Chaoxi: ...

She had no choice but to take it and sit on it herself.

A little while later, Qin Du brought her another glass of water. Ji Chaoxi was taken aback for a moment, then took the water and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin Du."

She took a small sip; it was sweet!

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up immediately.

Ji Zhuxin turned her head and saw Qin Du squatting there repairing baskets, while Ji Chaoxi sat leisurely on a stool holding a cup of water, the veins on her forehead bulging.

"Ji Chaoxi!"

Ji Chaoxi was startled and cried out, feeling wronged, "Brother Qin Du gave it to me!"

Qin's mother quickly pulled Ji Zhuxin aside: "Oh, it's alright, let the child play by herself."

Ji Zhuxin sighed: "My little sister was always sick when she was little, and I spoiled her. Now that she's grown up, I've gotten used to it, but if she does this outside, people will always gossip."

Qin's mother smiled and said, "That's how it is when you raise children. It's fine here; this isn't really outside."

The village children were very noisy, and the dogs joined in. Every afternoon, the village was filled with their noise.

Ji Chaoxi hadn't gone with Chen Yiping and the others for a long time. Her foot hadn't healed for a while, and she had refused Chen Yiping several times before giving up on coming. But unexpectedly, Chen Yiping came again today, insisting on dragging her along no matter what.

"One for each of you. You'll all get your share if you're with me."

Chen Yiping was distributing candy to his underlings. Each time he handed out a piece, they shouted, "Thank you, boss!"

When distributing the food to Ji Chaoxi, Chen Yiping paused for a moment and gave her one more.

Li Ergou immediately noticed: "Boss, you accidentally gave me an extra one!"

Chen Yiping said impatiently, "Fine then, you have to make a fuss over every single one. How petty."

Li Ergou glared at Ji Chaoxi jealously. Ji Chaoxi picked up a stone and was about to throw it at him when Li Ergou shrank back and fell silent.

"Thank you, boss!" Ji Chaoxi shouted as well.

Chen Yiping spent his days provoking Qin Du and then casually mocking those in the village with bad reputations. If his father hadn't been the village chief, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

While Chen Yiping and the others were cursing Qin Du, Ji Chaoxi hid in the back, moving her mouth but not making a sound, and then continued to accept the candy from Chen Yiping.

After muddling through for a few days, Li Ergou discovered Ji Chaoxi's secret when they went to provoke Qin Du again.

"Boss, Ji Chaoxi isn't making a sound!" Li Ergou jumped up excitedly.

Chen Yiping immediately got angry and questioned, "Ji Chaoxi, why don't you swear?"

Everyone else surrounded her, and Ji Chaoxi blushed and her neck bulged: "My throat is sore."

Li Ergou jumped out again, accusing her: "Liar, liar! You just don't want to scold Qin Du, do you? You betrayed us!"

Chen Yiping got even angrier, his brows furrowing tightly: "Go and scold Qin Du now."

Seeing that Ji Chaoxi remained silent, he started pulling on her, and the other children around her also started pushing her. Ji Chaoxi's eyes immediately turned red.

Chen Yiping clicked his tongue impatiently and slapped the others' hands away: "Who gave you permission to touch her?"

He stared intently at Ji Chaoxi: "If you curse Qin Du once, I'll forgive you. But if you don't, you can forget about playing with us in the future."

Ji Chaoxi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "But he helped me."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yiping asked, puzzled.

It was just one time I helped him.

"Ji Chaoxi, you were the one who begged to join us. We've known each other for so long. And just because Qin Du helped you once, you're going to betray us?"

Chen Yiping was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

Are you going to go and yell at him or not?

Ji Chaoxi lowered her head and remained silent.

Chen Yiping laughed angrily: "You, Ji Chaoxi, from now on you are no longer one of us. The next time we see you, you will be our enemy, just like Qin Du!"

The other children immediately chimed in: "The enemy!"

With no peers to play with, Ji Chaoxi could only go to the mountain pond to catch fish again.

Halfway through the game, Chen Yiping led a group of people by in a great hurry, and no one spoke to her.

She looked at Qin Du not far away. He was working diligently, while others his age were still playing. He was like an adult, not slacking off at all.

The sunset glow reflected on the water, casting a halo of light on the pond. Ji Chaoxi realized what was happening and quickly climbed up.

Qin Du had just finished packing his things and was preparing to go down the mountain.

Ji Chaoxi carried a fish in her hand and followed behind him. Qin Du slowed his pace, and their shadows gradually overlapped.

The compound for educated youth was very lively; these scholars always had something to do for entertainment.

But Lin Yitang wasn't in a good mood; she was still thinking about Qin Du, who had saved her that day.

The male educated youth ran over with a handful of candy: "Yitang, here, this is for you, I just won it."

Lin Yitang shook her head and refused, but the male educated youth kept pestering her: "Just accept it, Yitang. I specially picked one that you like."

Seeing that Lin Yitang didn't speak, he put the candy on Lin Yitang and ran away.

Lin Yitang felt only annoyed.

She wanted to talk to Qin Du and clear things up, but this male educated youth followed her around every day, almost to the point of never leaving her side.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the male educated youth was summoned to the village head's house, that Lin Yitang finally had some time.

She suddenly felt a little nervous; she had really gone too far that time.

Lin Yitang looked at herself in the mirror, hesitated, but still applied the face cream that Ji Zhuxin had bought for her.

She waved her hand in front of her, and a faint fragrance wafted out. Only then did Lin Yitang take the book and go out the door.

She had only gone halfway when she saw Qin Du, who was carrying a hoe and walking up the mountain. Lin Yitang quickly called out to him.

"Qin Ferry!"

Seeing that the people in front of her hadn't stopped, Lin Yitang called out again.

"Qin Du, wait a moment!"
