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

"Why isn't the boss out playing anymore?"

"I don't know. His mother keeps him locked up at home. I don't know what he does every day."

"How pitiful, they can't even go out to play. Where should we go today?"

"Want to go bird hunting over in Xishan? There are lots of birds there."

After discussing it, a group of children rushed off to the western hills to hunt birds.

The village chief took Chen Yiping's studies very seriously, preparing all his old textbooks and other books for him.

Ji Zhuxin specifically asked the village chief's wife what books Chen Yiping had, and then went to find them with the book list.

Ji Zhuxin finally managed to borrow a copy of the "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". She quickly took it back and asked Ji Chaoxi and the others to copy it down so that it could be returned.

Finally, on a very ordinary day, the village loudspeaker blared.

"Comrades, fellow members and educated youth, an important announcement is now being broadcast..."

The broadcast kept going, and everyone in the village listened. A burst of enthusiastic cheers came from the educated youth compound.

The villagers sat at their doorsteps, drinking porridge, their eyes filled with confusion: "What is the college entrance exam? Is it some kind of grain requisition or something?"

"It's so long and rambling, I can't even hear the weather forecast."

"Those educated youth were like madmen, they just wanted to go back to the city, they couldn't stand the hardship of manual labor."

Only a few villagers knew what the college entrance examination meant, and they were thinking about where to find out.

Ji Zhuxin even went to inquire about the political background check for Qin Du. After learning that the college entrance examination only considers performance and not family background, Qin's mother couldn't help but tear up.

After finishing his studies each day, Qin Du would teach Ji Chaoxi, breaking down each knowledge point into smaller parts and feeding them to Ji Chaoxi.

Although Ji Chaoxi had a poor foundation, she was quick-witted and willing to learn, so she didn't find learning particularly difficult.

Later, Ji Chaoxi discovered that Qin Du also had many books, but they were all hidden in the cellar.

These books were hidden here by Qin Du's father. He told Qin Du that they would come in handy someday, and now they actually have.

"Brother Qin Du, do you really think I can get into university?"

Ji Chaoxi looked at the oil dripping from the candle, her eyes filled with confusion.

To be honest, she didn't really know what taking the college entrance exam meant. She had never read a book since she was a child, but her older sister took it very seriously, so she listened to her sister.

Qin Du looked down at her and lowered his voice: "Of course."

Ji Zhuxin thought that Ji Chaoxi's intelligence was not just a casual remark; she really did learn very quickly.

The weather has been getting colder lately, and the temperature in the mountains is much lower than outside. Ji Chaoxi is afraid of the cold, and sometimes her hands get terribly cold while she is writing.

Qin Du found an iron can from the mine, filled it with boiling water, and wrapped it with thick old socks—of course, the old socks belonged to Ji Chaoxi.

Qin Du first tested the temperature in his own arms before handing it to Ji Chaoxi.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Du." Ji Chaoxi happily hugged the tin can.

Qin Du responded softly and sat down next to her to continue reading.

Qin Du didn't like to talk; except when he was lecturing her, he was like a mute.

At first, Ji Chaoxi was a little afraid of him and didn't dare to talk to him much. Later, she found out that he was just quiet and didn't get angry, so she started to bully him.

After finishing a set of questions, Ji Chaoxi would take a break. Sometimes she would look at the coffin, imagining her father lying inside, and other times she would run out to the door to play with the dog.

Qin Du calculated the time and brought Ji Chaoxi, who had been playing wildly outside, back home.

Ji Chaoxi sighed deeply and continued studying.

After a quick dinner, the two continued their studies. There was plenty of food nearby, all brought by Ji Zhuxin, who was worried that the two would go hungry. However, Ji Chaoxi ate all of it, while Qin Du didn't touch it at all.

The cold wind howled outside, as if something was being scraped up, and you could vaguely hear people shouting. The drafty places inside the house had been sealed off, so it wasn't particularly cold.

Suddenly, Qin Du felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked down and saw that Ji Chaoxi had fallen asleep at some point, leaning on his shoulder.

She had some light blue circles under her eyes, which were from being exhausted lately. She was wearing many layers of clothing, her face was rosy from sleep, and her breathing was shallow; she was sleeping soundly.

Qin Du gently touched her face. Her skin was so soft that he felt his hand sink into it. Her breath tickled his hand.

He placed the blanket, folded into a square, on the table and let her rest her head on it for a while.

After doing all this, Qin Du stared at the words in the book and his mind went blank for a moment. He wanted to continue in the same state, but he just couldn't concentrate on learning.

His gaze returned to Ji Chaoxi, who was fast asleep beside him. Although her breathing was shallow and so faint that it was almost inaudible, he felt that her breathing was even more distracting than the howling wind outside.

Ji Chaoxi loves to act cute, and Qin Du has always known this.

When he first moved next door to her house, the first thing he heard was her and her sister pleading and apologizing.

"Please, sister, I really know I was wrong, I promise I won't do it again."

But Qin Du knew the next day that Ji Chaoxi would always do it again.

She says this to her sister several times a day.

When you get beaten up, it can happen dozens of times.

For example, right now.

"Brother Qin Du, can I write it again tomorrow? My hands are about to break. Please, this is the last time."

Ji Chaoxi looked pitifully at the book in front of her.

Seeing that Qin Du didn't speak, Ji Chaoxi hugged his hand and cried. This trick had almost never worked on Ji Zhuxin, but it had a pretty good chance of succeeding with Qin Du.

Qin Du wouldn't look at her, so she put her hand in his and said aggrievedly, "My hand is shaking from writing."

"Brother Qin Du, look, when my sister comes later, just tell her I've finished learning, okay?"

Because she had been holding the thermos, her palms were a light pink. Her nails were neatly trimmed, and her hands, like her, were very delicate.

Compared to Qin Du's hands, Ji Chaoxi's hands were pitifully small. She rubbed against his hand, and Qin Du paused for a moment, but still didn't pull his hand away.

Ji Chaoxi leaned on the table, craning her neck to see Qin Du's expression: "Brother Qin Du, you're the best. Can you put in a good word for me? Otherwise, my sister will beat me up."

Qin Du's throat tightened. Without looking at her, he simply responded with a low voice.

The breath was immediately withdrawn, and Ji Chaoxi cheered and ran to the side to play with the coffin.

Qin Du lowered his eyes, a tickling sensation spreading from his heart to his entire body, the scent of her perfume still lingering on his hands.

He suddenly began to believe what her sister had said.

"Qin Du, that brat really loves to pester you. Don't let her fool you. Once she starts, she'll keep doing it, but you should be able to do it. Just keep refusing her, and she won't dare to cause trouble anymore."

Qin Du sighed; in truth, he couldn't do it either.
