Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 318 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (29)

Lu Liruan was unaware that Jin Shuhe's grades had improved so quickly because Jin Shuhe hadn't told her.

Over the past two months, Jin Shuhe discovered that Sister Li Ruan could answer all his questions and provide excellent guidance.

Such results shouldn't be anything special for Sister Li Ruan...

Jin Shuhe felt this way because he was genuinely somewhat surprised.

If Lu Liruan knew what he was thinking, she could only say: "You really misunderstand me. When I was in school, I was never even in the top 200, let alone the top 50 in my grade."

It seems that Sister Li Ruan was unaware that there were so many exams in the senior year of high school, and she never asked herself if her grades had improved.

I couldn't very well... just hand the ranking list to Sister Li Ruan and tell her, "Look, my grades have improved!"

Jin Shuhe is shy and not the type of child who is like that...

Wenbei, on the other hand, seems to be taking it quite seriously.

"Does your sister offer small group tutoring? I'll pay! I really want to hear how she teaches you; your progress is astonishing!"

Jin Shuhe packed her schoolbag, ignoring him.

Wen Bei continued chattering from behind: "If some people progress at a rate of a thousand miles a day, you're even faster than them. You're progressing at a rate of... maglev!"

"Puch-"

Zhao Jingyi, who had already stood up, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Wen Bei's words.

"Hey! What are you doing having fun over there?" Wen Bei pouted.

"You speak loudly, but you don't want others to hear you?" Zhao Jingyi glared at him, then paused for a moment.

"Are you two free this weekend?" she asked.

"What's wrong?"

"I made plans with some classmates to relax this weekend, see a movie, and then go out for dinner... Are you two coming?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jin Shuhe out of the corner of her eye, and then hurriedly added, "We just finished the exams, and everyone wants to go out and relax. It's more fun with more people! You guys should come along too!"

"Who's there?" Wen Bei, who always enjoyed lively gatherings, asked with great interest.

Zhao Jingyi gave several names.

"I'm not going, I have things to do this weekend." Jin Shuhe slung her backpack over her shoulder and stood up.

"What...are you going to do this weekend?" Zhao Jingyi asked, still unwilling to give up.

Jin Shuhe said earnestly, "Study, do housework, and go with my sister to renovate the shop."

Zhao Jingyi: ...

It sounds like a very fulfilling experience.

It didn't sound like a casual excuse to avoid going.

Jin Shuhe never lies, nor does he feel the need to. What is what is, why hide it?

Lying is mostly learned, for example, when parents or teachers set rules and requirements, many children will lie.

If you do something wrong and are afraid of being discovered and blamed, you might lie.

But Jin Shuhe had no need to lie from a very young age.

No one at home cared for him, and the teachers at school, knowing his situation, always treated him with leniency.

He wasn't a troublemaker, and he was well-behaved and didn't do anything out of line, so lying wouldn't work on him.

"Have fun."

Upon realizing that both of them were looking at him, Jin Shuhe added another sentence.

Clearly, Zhao Jingyi's invitation to Wen Bei was merely to get Jin Shuhe involved; since Jin Shuhe said she wouldn't go, she wasn't particularly interested in whether Wen Bei went or not.

Wen Bei didn't pay attention to her either. Instead, after hearing Jin Shuhe's words, he suddenly asked with great interest:

"Shuhe, when can I come over to your house this weekend? I want to see just how amazing your sister is at teaching you!" Clearly, he hadn't given up on the previous topic.

Wen Bei had never mentioned going to Jin Shuhe's house to see him before. Because he knew about Jin Shuhe's situation at that time.

But now, Jin Shuhe lives with his sister, and Wen Bei is easygoing and doesn't have any bad intentions.

It's just high school boys going to each other's houses to hang out; it's a perfectly normal thing, and besides, he was curious...

But Jin Shuhe didn't know how to respond to these words.

He couldn't very well refuse outright, so what could he say? That Sister Li Ruan didn't agree to his classmate coming to see him?

Sister Li Ruan isn't that kind of person... Jin Shuhe knew this, and he didn't want to lie and pin the blame on Sister Li Ruan.

When he had nowhere to go before, Wen Bei took him in many times, but how could he agree to that? Jin Shuhe also felt it was inappropriate.

He... couldn't be so casual and really treat Sister Li Ruan's house as a place he could control.

Fortunately, Wen Bei was just saying it casually, and then he turned around and discussed with Zhao Jingyi whether or not they should go out to play on the weekend.

Lu Liruan's shop at the university is almost finished with renovations. All that's left is to let it air out, then buy some tables and chairs and do some soft furnishings herself.

"You don't need to come with me every week. You can just stay home and focus on your studies."

Lu Liruan had been saying this for several weeks, but Jin Shuhe still insisted on accompanying Lu Liruan every weekend.

After encountering a situation with the renovation workers last time, Jin Shuhe wanted to help Sister Li Ruan as much as possible.

"You're amazing! You managed to go a whole month without sleeping in. You're so strong..." Lu Liruan, half asleep on the subway, gave the child, who showed no signs of tiredness, a thumbs-up with sincere admiration.

About two weeks later, on Monday, when Jin Shuhe went to school, before he even entered the classroom, he saw Zhao Jingyi and... a girl from another class standing at the corner of the stairs.

The girl was partially blocked by Zhao Jingyi, standing in the shadows, her hair not tied up, with thick bangs.

I couldn't see her face clearly because she had her head down, and it seemed like... she was still crying, her shoulders shaking.

The two women huddled together, seemingly talking, but when they heard footsteps, they both fell silent and turned to look.

"Jin Shuhe, why are you here so early?" Zhao Jingyi asked him deliberately.

"We'll work as a pair."

"oh oh!"

Zhao Jingyi certainly remembered, but she had just asked the question casually.

"Do you want to chat with her? If you need anything, I can help you with your chores, it's still early." Jin Shuhe figured the girl was crying, something must have happened.

"Ah! It's nothing! I'll be back in a bit! Thank you!" Zhao Jingyi's ears turned slightly red.

As Jin Shuhe walked past them, he caught a glimpse of the girl's face, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Sure enough, Zhao Jingyi didn't return until Jin Shuhe finished both of their tasks. It wasn't until the bell rang for morning reading that she hurriedly stepped into the classroom.

"Thank you, thank you!" She sat back down and thanked him softly.

"Well, it's okay."

Zhao Jingyi breathed a small sigh of relief when she saw that Jin Shuhe didn't ask her what had happened.

Jin Shuhe wasn't interested in the things girls did together, but he saw that girl again at dinner.

The senior students at the school moved to a separate building because their school hours were different from those of other grades.

The toilets on each floor of the senior high school building are very large, and there are long queues after class.

Although there are toilets in the building for other grades, there are few available.

Go around the back of the teaching building, through the path in the grove behind the building, and you'll find a two-story outdoor toilet, with the women's toilet on the first floor and the men's toilet on the second floor.

When the weather is nice, many students choose to go to this toilet and take a stroll while they're there.

But now it's the winter semester, and the temperature in the north is so low that you have to stomp your feet when you go outside. Most students would rather stand in line inside the teaching building.

However, to dispose of the classroom trash, you still have to go through the path behind it.

Jin Shuhe carried a garbage bag that was half her height. She wasn't wearing a coat, just a thin school uniform, and her pace quickened unconsciously.

In the north, it gets dark very early this season, around 4 a.m.

When Jin Shuhe had walked halfway through the grove, he suddenly heard what sounded like an argument coming from the outer wall.

There were several girls.

Suddenly the sound grew louder, and a girl's scream was very piercing.

It's an extremely offensive and offensive insult.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out and ran towards the senior high school building, followed by several girls who were still cursing.

In such cold weather, they changed into narrow-legged school uniform pants, which still exposed their ankles. One of the girls had her loose hair permed into big waves.

As he got closer, Jin Shuhe smelled smoke.

"What are you looking at, you idiot!"

They were startled to find Jin Shuhe standing there silently.

The girl with wavy hair cursed at him and turned to leave.

Jin Shuhe frowned slightly. He didn't care that the person was cursing him. Just a moment ago, he had sharp eyesight and saw that the girl who ran past was the same one who had been talking to Zhao Jingyi in the corridor that morning.

Jin Shuhe felt something was strange, something was not right.

When Zhao Jingyi returned after taking out the trash, she had already eaten.

Seeing Jin Shuhe stop beside her seat, she looked up and asked, "Jin Shuhe, is there something you need?" There was a hint of joy in her voice.

"I went to take out the trash just now and I think I saw... your friend being chased by a few girls." Jin Shuhe didn't know exactly what had happened, but she told him what she had seen.

The joy on Zhao Jingyi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of annoyance. She nodded to Jin Shuhe, "I understand."

Then he turned around and ran out of the classroom.

They ran right into Wen Bei, who was returning from playing ball.

"What's wrong with her? Who upset her? She looks so angry." Wen Bei was puzzled.

Jin Shuhe shook his head and said nothing.

When school was over, most of the students had left, leaving only the students on duty.

After washing the rag, Zhao Jingyi walked over to Jin Shuhe and asked a little shyly, "Jin Shuhe, do you also walk towards the 217 bus stop after school?"

Jin Shuhe nodded.

She tentatively asked, "Could you come with me and my friend to the station?"

"Aren't your parents coming to pick you up today?"

Jin Shuhe remembered that Zhao Jingyi was usually picked up by her mother on her bicycle.

"Yeah, my mom's been working overtime lately, so I'll go home by myself."

"Row."

"very good, thank you!"

After they turned off the lights, locked the door, and left the classroom, the girl from that morning was already waiting for them at the stairwell.

When she saw Jin Shuhe, she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, looking very shy.

"This is my friend, Lin Zhuoran, from Class 14 of the Arts stream."

Throughout the journey, Lin Zhuoran only whispered to Zhao Jingyi and didn't pay much attention to Jin Shuhe.

She waited until they arrived at the station before whispering, "Thank you for your help."

Jin Shuhe nodded and turned onto the road beside him.

"He sits behind me, he's a really nice guy," Zhao Jingyi said shyly after Jin Shuhe had walked away.

For the next week, Zhao Jingyi's mother did not come to pick her up, and Jin Shuhe did not ask any more questions. That evening, he took her and Lin Zhuoran to the station.

Wen Bei joined in, and they were laughing and joking along the way, looking quite happy.

Recently, Jin Shuhe sometimes encounters several girls in the corridor or on the playground. They point at him behind his back and sometimes even laugh out loud.

The curly-haired girl I met that day once threw a mineral water bottle onto Jin Shuhe's back.

"Hey—you!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Jin Shuhe bent down and picked up the bottle.

"Send it to me..."

"Bang!"

Jin Shuhe threw the bottle into a trash can a few steps away, making a loud noise because he used force.

The girls fell silent for a moment, and Jin Shuhe continued walking forward without looking back.

"Fuck! Are you crazy?!"

"You fucking come back here!"

The worst time was when they stood on the stairs after Jin Shuhe finished class and deliberately tripped him.

Jin Shuhe kept his eyes straight ahead, showing no intention of stopping. In the end, the girl, afraid that Jin Shuhe would step on her, had no choice but to pull her foot back herself.

"You believe I'll have someone deal with you?!"

She followed behind Jin Shuhe, thinking she was being ruthless.

Having grown up, Jin Shuhe had seen far too many vicious and ruthless people, but this girl seemed less like someone playing house.

Seeing him stop, the girl twirled her hair with her fingers and walked in front of him.

Before she could speak, Jin Shuhe looked down at her and said, "Get lost."

The girls were stunned to hear those words from the seemingly dull and taciturn boy.

During the years Jin Shuhe lived with his father, he heard all sorts of nasty things and saw all sorts of shady characters.

If someone wanted to bully him, Jin Shuhe would feel no qualms about insulting them, regardless of gender.

While having dinner in the cafeteria that evening, Jin Shuhe casually asked Wen Bei, "What kind of people are in the fourteenth liberal arts class?"

"You don't know?"

There was clearly a story behind this. When Wen Bei heard him ask, he leaned closer and told him, "This class is notorious for its troublemakers. They've had four different homeroom teachers since the first year of high school, starting with military training. The first male homeroom teacher refused to work after the training, supposedly because he was beaten up by the boys in the class!"

Because this school is private, the admission score is basically so low that you can get in if you pay money.

Some of them come from families with a little money, and their parents simply can't control them anymore. So they send them to school, giving the teachers money to keep an eye on them and prevent them from getting into trouble in society.

Classes 14 and 15 in the humanities stream are basically like this...

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jin Shuhe shook his head and didn't tell him.

In the following days, several boys did indeed make faces and give him the middle finger. Occasionally, when they bumped into each other in the restroom, they would deliberately splash water on Jin Shuhe at the sink.

The arts and science classes are not on the same floor.
